Chapter 139: The Developing Dragon Pictures
After Chen Jie and Chen Baixiang made a few jokes, they began to say the purpose of their visit.
"How's the company doing lately?" Chen Jie looked at Chen Baixiang and said.
"Hehe, it's rare that our big boss also knows to care about the company. I thought you'd always be the shopkeeper! Chen Baixiang said.
"Haven't I been busy all this time!" Chen Jie said with some embarrassment.
Chen Baixiang looked at Chen Jie and didn't continue to joke with Chen Jie, after all, he still had Lin Lingdong by his side. I have to show some affection to Chen Jie, the big boss.
"During this time, the company's development has been relatively smooth, and Afu has formed a complete soundtrack team. I've been to see it, and it's still good. In addition, the editors and other post-production personnel have basically been perfected, although they are not well-known in the industry, but at least our company can complete the post-production of the film independently! In other words, our company is now able to produce independently, and there is no need to go to Baohe or Xinyicheng in the later stage! Chen Baixiang said.
After listening to Chen Baixiang's words, Chen Jie praised Chen Baixiang twice. "Ah, are you still very efficient?"
"Don't interrupt yet, we'll talk after listening to my report." Chen Baixiang said seriously.
Seeing Chen Baixiang's serious appearance, Chen Jie nodded and did not speak. Chen Baixiang continued.
"Let me tell you about some of the talents that our company has recently recruited. Now that our company has signed a contract with Honggu, Ah Xiang is digging two new actors for us on the wireless side! It is worth mentioning that our company has recruited a relatively well-known screenwriter, and I think you might be interested in this person! ”
"Who?" Chen Jie asked.
"Wenxi!" Chen Baixiang said.
Chen Jie was really interested after hearing this name. In Chen Jie's opinion, there are four screenwriters in Hong Kong films that he remembers deeply, one is Wang Jing. Although many of the scripts created by Wang Jing are follow-up movies, I have to deny that Wang Jing is very creative in making follow-up movies! What he does best is turning some action movies into comedies. The second one is Liu Zhenwei! This guy and Wang Jing want to think very much, they are both good at making comedies, and the style of the script is basically all comedy. Everyone says that Zhou Xingchi is the king of nonsense! But Chen Jie thinks that Liu Zhenwei is the father of nonsense! Zhou Xingchi's famous work "The Saint of Gambling" is Liu Zhenwei's work. This movie not only fulfilled Zhou Xingchi, but also made the word nonsensical deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The third is Lin Lingdong's brother Nanyan! The most well-known representative is "Prison Storm". The last one is Wen Xie, Chen Jie is very impressed with him, completely because Chen Jie watched a lot of tertiary films supervised by this person in his previous life!
"It's him!" Chen Jie said with some surprise.
"Yes, although he is not as famous as you in the screenwriting industry, he can be regarded as a well-known screenwriter in the industry!" Chen Baixiang said.
"Ah, you can get him into the company, it's a lot of energy!" Chen Jie said.
"You're wrong! In fact, he took the initiative to come to the door! Chen Baixiang said.
This answer surprised Chen Jie.
"Our company is very sought-after in the industry now! Wen Xian not only came to our company by himself, but also recommended an actress to our company. It's a newcomer, I've seen it, and he's good-looking. I feel like it's a good fit for the movie you're working on with New Arts City. So I signed her too! First, let's sell articles, and second, expand our company's cast! Chen Baixiang said.
After listening to Chen Baixiang's words, Chen Jie frowned and said, "How old is this woman?" Can you play the role of a high school student well? ”
"Don't worry, I have to see it, don't you believe it!" Chen Baixiang got up from the sofa as he spoke, walked to his work, and opened his drawer. took out a photo and handed it to Chen Jie, "Take a look!" ”
Chen Jie took the photo handed over by Chen Baixiang and took a look. Just this glance made Chen Jie very emotional, he really knew this woman. Chen Jie also watched the third-level films he acted in in his previous life! Isn't this Wen Bixia! Chen Jie really sighed that Chen Baixiang seemed to be his lucky star. Recommend a soundtrack to be a future soundtrack master. signed a newcomer and a well-known actor in the future. Chen Jie suddenly had an idea. So he asked
"Ah, tell me what are the names of the two people that Ah Xiang dug up in wireless?"
"Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" Chen Baixiang asked puzzled.
"What are the names of these two men first?" Chen Jie said.
"One is called Zhou Xingchi, and the other is Wu Zhenyu!" Chen Baixiang said.
At this moment, Chen Jie almost didn't get excited and stood up and hugged Chen Baixiang and kissed a few bites, such a name made Chen Jie too excited. These two are treasures! Chen Jie suppressed his excitement and said.
"Let them show their faces more in the movie! Practice your acting skills! Chen Jie said.
"You don't have to worry about this, Director Lin has taken a fancy to Wu Zhenyu and plans to let him be the second male lead in the script you wrote for him!" Chen Baixiang said.
"Oh!" Chen Jie looked at Lin Lingdong with some surprise. Lin Lingdong nodded.
"We'll talk about Brother Dong's movie later! Let's listen to Ah Na's report first! Chen Jie said.
When Chen Baixiang heard Chen Jie say this, he continued to start his report, "The recruitment of talents is basically like this. Now let me talk about the problem of our company's funding. ”
"Ah, there is no need to talk about the funds, I don't have to worry about you." Chen Jie said.
"Applejack I know we're good friends, and I'm glad you trust me so much, but one yard to the other. I must talk to you about the company's capital movements! Chen Baixiang said.
Seeing that Chen Baixiang insisted, Chen Jie didn't say anything, nodded and said, "If you're not tired, just say it!" ”
After Chen Baixiang took a sip of coffee, he took out a document and said
"When I took over, our company still had about 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars left on its books. In order not to affect the normal operation of the company, Director Lin's movie has not been started for a long time. After that, the box office dividends of "Ip Man" arrived, and our company received 20.7 million Hong Kong dollars! threw out the dividends to the crew and actors of "Ip Man", plus the expenses of the celebration reception. The net income is still about 17.3 million. However, recently I have done some simple renovation of the company, and I have purchased some equipment and spent about 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars. Now there is 17.5 million Hong Kong dollars left on the books. ”
After listening to Chen Baixiang's words, Chen Jie said, "So much money is going to be moldy in the company, and we have to spend this money!" ”
"I've thought about that too." Chen Baixiang said: "I plan to increase the investment in Director Lin's film, from 1 million to 1.5 million. First, it is to ensure the quality of the movie, and secondly, Director Lin has fallen in love with an actor, although this actor is not too famous, but we still have to give the corresponding value. The most important thing is that I am confident that I will sign him into our company! ”
Chen Jie heard Chen Baixiang say this, but he became interested in this actor.
"Brother Dong, who do you have a crush on?" Chen Jie looked at Lin Lingdong and said.
"Ren Dahua!" Lin Lingdong said.
Chen Jie was stunned by Lin Lingdong's words. After coming back to his senses, he looked at Chen Baixiang with a clear expression and said, "Ah, you are worthy of this deal!" ”
"Then of course, how can I trade at a loss!" Chen Baixiang said.
Chen Jie knew that Ren Dahua's contract with wireless was about to expire, and Chen Jie also sent an invitation to Ren Dahua. Obviously, Chen Baixiang also saw this, so he agreed to Lin Lingdong's additional investment and invited Ren Dahua to play the leading role in the movie. Coupled with the relationship between Ren Dahua and Chen Jie, Chen Baixiang is confident that Ren Dahua will be signed to Longteng Pictures. That's why Chen Jie said that Chen Baixiang didn't lose money at all in this transaction.
"You can decide on this. The daily operation and management of the company are decided by you, the general manager, and you can do what you say! Chen Jie said.
"Applejack, I'm very touched by what you said, but I still know that your own idea is actually to be lazy." Chen Baixiang joked.
