Chapter Seventy-Eight: When I First Returned

Chen Yongren found that after returning to the company, not only the director Zhuang Cheng, but even Cui Baozhu, who served as the general manager, also showed dissatisfaction with himself......

“…… Ah Ren, you sincerely asked me to do things, and since I agreed, I will do everything without hesitation, but what do these things you decide privately mean? Of course...... You are the boss, and the company is up to you, but please respect me as the general manager, okay? Cui Baozhu said indignantly.

The reason for the incident is very simple, Chen Yongren met Huang Bingyao and Wang Jiawei when he returned to Hong Kong from Taiwan last time, and made a job offer to the two, but when he continued to shoot "Die Hard" in Taiwan, he had already left this matter behind.

What Chen Yongren didn't expect was that there was no news from Huang Bingyao, but Wang Jiawei came to the company to look for him a few days after Chen Yongren disappeared.

Wang Jiawei didn't see Chen Yongren, but he saw Cui Baozhu, the person in charge of Legendary Pictures, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional between the two people, anyway, Cui Baozhu only knew about Chen Yongren's high-salary hiring of a department manager.

How can she tolerate the random appointment of important positions in the company, but as the general manager, she didn't know it in advance.

Chen Yongren was embarrassed and didn't dare to look at it directly, if he was replaced by someone else, he would still be able to talk nonsense and fool things, but it was not good for a more serious career-oriented woman like Cui Baozhu, it was okay to make a little joke occasionally, but it was not good to always put on an indecent appearance in front of others, not to mention that he was still talking about business......

"Ahem...... Sister Baozhu! Chen Yongren put on a repentant look and said in frustration: "You should know what kind of virtue I am; In addition to the movie, I have always been very arrogant in other aspects, not as shrewd and capable as you, and I handle everything thoroughly, so I asked you to help me host the great cause, this time it is really an unintentional mistake, I solemnly apologize to you! ”。

Cui Baozhu was also surprised when she saw Chen Yongren bowing sincerely, and when she read the latter's words just now, she also felt that she was a little too serious; Indeed, as she said, she clearly understands what kind of virtue Chen Yongren is; Slightly apologetic in her heart, Cui Baozhu wanted to ease the atmosphere, so she asked in a joking tone, "Will it be in the future?" ”。

Chen Yongren heard what he meant, blinked his eyes and smiled: "I will change my ...... in the future."

Cui Baozhu made a helpless look and asked Chen Yongren, "What do you think?" I've seen this Wang Jiawei's resume, and he is indeed an outstanding talent, but he won't mess with the conditions, right? ”。

Chen Yongren scratched his head, "Is there a problem with the conditions I opened?" Though...... It's a little generous, but it's only an occasional exception, and it doesn't hurt, right? ”。

"Of course, there is no problem with occasional exceptions, but the so-called exceptions refer to specific objects, this Wang Jiawei is just a screenwriter who has written a few blockbuster movie scripts, and he is not the top one, but you give him several times better than the screenwriters of a large company like Golden Harvest, the screenwriters are like this, how can the company really get a big-name director or actor in the future?"

Chen Yongren touched his nose and didn't know how to explain, Wang Jiawei was indeed unknown at this time, and now the status of screenwriters in Hong Kong is far less than later, not to mention that Wang Jiawei's previous works can only be regarded as middle and upper, although the popularity is limited, it is normal not to be favored.

After a moment of silence, Chen Yongren said: "I know that this will have some bad effects on the company, but Wang Jiawei is a little different, he is a special case, I promise that it will not be like this in the future!" ”。

"You still promised...... Willing to support him as a director? ”。

"Uh...... I did mention to him that there was such a thing......".

"That's the point, we're just a small company now, and we're not profitable; Where does the confidence come from to train a newcomer to be a director? ”。

Chen Yongren suddenly realized that he somewhat understood what Cui Baozhu meant; The latter is completely based on the interests of the company, just as Chen Xunqi once said that it took him ten years from stepping into the film and television industry to becoming a director, most people are different from Chen Yongren, the director is not what you want to do, you can do it if you want to do it.

In today's film industry, there are two ways to become a director; One is similar to Xu Ke, Xu Anhua and other academic directors who have studied in professional film and television academies abroad and started a new stream movement after returnees, and the other is similar to Huang Jinbao, Chen Xunqi and other people who studied in the film industry, starting from handymen to become familiar with film production step by step, taking the road of "mentoring and apprenticeship, experience upgrading".

There is no need to explain too much about the academic school, and today's college students, especially those who have graduated from overseas higher education institutions, no matter what their majors are engaged in, are not only in the mainland, but also in Hong Kong.

If it's another way, there are countless apprentices under many famous directors in the Hong Kong film industry, but only a few can succeed; This road is the most difficult, and it is a comprehensive test of a person's qualifications, talents, understanding, perseverance, will, and so on, and I don't know how many people die on the road.

Many of these successful people are like Chen Xunqi, who has been carefully planned for ten years and made a splash in the film industry; But more eliminators are not just failing on this road, but losing money, burning money, and even "cheating money".

And Wang Jiawei graduated from the Department of Graphic Design of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and after entering the film industry, he is also engaged in full-time screenwriting, and has not yet shown all his potential, no wonder Cui Baozhu is serious, in her eyes, a newly established company that has not yet made a profit to do such a risky decision as an "investment director" is completely unwise.

Chen Yongren thought for a moment, and suddenly said solemnly: "Sister Baozhu, I don't dare to say anything else, but Wang Jiawei, he is worth ......."

Cui Baozhu was surprised when she heard this. "Why?".

Chen Yongren's eyes are misty and profound, "When I am with him, I seem to see my former self ......."

Cui Baozhu's eyes were strange, "Your previous speech and behavior ...... Isn't it quiet? ”。

"Ahem......"; Chen Yongren said embarrassedly: "I mean that some people are born with an inexplicable feeling between themselves and the movie; For example, I've only been in the industry for a year, can I make some achievements if I don't do it? I can feel that Wang Jiawei is also such a person......".

Although Cui Baozhu's eyes were suspicious, he did not pursue it again, "Since you have your own reasons, then forget it this time, but as you said, the exception is just a special case, the company has just started, we can deal with an exception, but we can't be nonsense in the future, everything must be done in accordance with the rules and rules!" ”。

"Sister Xie Baozhu forgive me, and the younger brother respectfully obeys the teachings ......."

……

What Chen Yongren didn't expect was that Wang Jiawei didn't come alone, and brought his wife Chen Yiji with him; This also taught him to breathe a sigh of relief, he never thought of letting Wang Jiawei be the manager of the Rausch sub-department in his company.

In Chen Yongren's eyes, Wang Jiawei is the same as himself, he can make movies, but he can't say if he is a manager alone; Now the latter has brought his wife with him, and it will be easy to arrange.

In my memory, Chen Yiji has been serving as the management of the Zedong Film Company established by Wang Jiawei and Liu Zhenwei in the future, Wang Jiawei has his figure behind all his movies, and he is definitely a good manager, but he didn't expect this woman to be willing to leave a big company like TVB for her husband, and the charm of literary and artistic youth is really nothing to say to some women.

No, although TVB is a well-known name, it can be hierarchical, from top to bottom, there are executive chairmen, executive directors, non-executive directors, administrative heads, department heads, drama division producers, non-drama division producers, drama directors, drama editors and so on.

The old man is so slammed, Chen Yiji's treatment in the producer is probably similar to the conditions he gave to the Wang family, and the work of TVB is famous for being able to toss people, isn't it because of this that Chen Yiji met the Wang family, I'm afraid she doesn't stay very comfortable inside.

“…… I'm afraid that I will be too active and will be wronged by these two people! Chen Yongren thought so.

During this time, in addition to the turmoil between Legendary Pictures and New Art City, there is another thing that is the most eye-catching, and it is boiling; Cheng Yulian, one of the leading actresses of TVB, announced her retirement from the entertainment industry.

In fact, since "The Condor Heroes" to the present, in the past nearly a year, Chengyulian has no works and has been in a state of semi-seclusion; Last month, it was rumored that she was going to participate in a movie that I don't know what it was, but it didn't happen, but I didn't expect it to break out all of a sudden.

Fang Yihua is the most irritable these times, as the executive director of the Tsan family and the administrative director of TVB, there is nothing that can make her happy recently.

Two months ago, Cheng Yulian just promised her to participate in a movie, but within a few days, the movie was almost ready, but Cheng Yulian released her pigeons and quit; Well, no matter how you say it, people are also in charge, and the face is still quite big, unlike those low-level newcomers who have just signed a contract who can be oppressed, but this movie can not be made, you have been idle for a year, and it is time to work, right? "Give me two more months, I've just been freed from a place, give me a little time to get used to the rhythm of life, and I'll give my aunt an explanation ...... in two months."

Fang Yihua, as an experienced strong woman, is her forte, and when Chengyulian agreed, she fully remembered that the latter was a good mood to let go of her worries and face a new life from various angles such as speech, complexion, and expression.

Fang Yihua thought that two months later, the TV station would have a new starting point, but what she didn't expect was another unexpected result.

After various decisions made at the board meeting of the Group, the production reduction of the film has entered the second stage, and when the third stage is completed next year, the film will be completely discontinued, and the company will have more resources to pour into the development of TVB; At this time, TVB also decided to change the relevant decision of the artist agreement.

The company reduced production again, and the employees were jubilant; The TV station changed the treaty, and the artists were also brewing fierce emotions and were ready to move; She thought that if she found a representative figure among the artists to take the lead in expressing her stance and supporting herself, the situation would be different, and it was time for Chengyulian to promise herself two months ago that it was time to renew the contract.

In the past two months, Chengyulian seems to have changed as a person, and has always been keen on charity, whether it is in the film industry, the media, or in the community; She is naturally close to nature, Fang Yihua originally thought that the good-tempered idiom Lian has always been indifferent to the interests in reality, and she will definitely agree to herself.

Unexpectedly, she was really so indifferent, and the answer she got was that she chose to quit the entertainment industry, and she let the reporter know.

"Didn't you say that it would take two months to get used to the rhythm of life, and then give me a satisfactory explanation?"

"I have been engaged in charity for two months, I like this job very much, I have also passed the examination of the Hong Kong government, and it happens that my contract with the company has also expired, and I will start working in the Social Welfare Department next month......".

"What do you mean...... Waiting two months just to get your contract to expire and then change jobs? ”。

"That's right...... Aunt Fang, haven't you been worried about me for the past year? Now that I've found my life's pursuit, aren't you happy for me? ”。

Fang Yihua's face was gloomy, happy with your sister, you are a representative figure of the artist, but you chose to leave the company at this time, didn't you find me trouble?

Chengyulian looked at Chen Yongren, who was laughing out loud, strangely, and asked the latter, "What is there to be happy about?" ”。

Chen Yongren stopped laughing and said: "You may not know the mystery ......"; He paused and waved his hand again: "Forget it, in fact, it's the same with you or not!" ”。

"What's different?".

Chen Yongren smiled and said nothing, the wireless strike movement in his memory was about to start, and Liu Tianwang was hidden by wireless for a year; He changed the subject, "...... later", looked at the orphanage children playing not far away, and continued: "That's it? ”。

Chengyulian nodded, "You are a big boss, you need a lot of support!" ”。

Chen Yongren was stunned, "What do you support?" ”。

"Charity!".

Chen Yongren cried with a sad face, "Eldest sister, to tell you the truth, I am also short of money!" ”。
