Chapter 143: The Only Female Interviewer
Chen Yuan returned to the office and looked through all the resumes he had received during this time. In the end, he found 12 people who had an impression in his mind, and two of them would be famous in the future.
Yu Zheng is a film and television screenwriter and producer.
In 1999, he studied screenwriting with Hong Kong director Li Huimin, and left in 2002 to set up "Yu Zheng Studio" in Shanghai and officially debuted. In 2003, he served as the first screenwriter of "Take Me Fly, Take Me Away". In 2005, he became famous for producing TV series "Fireworks March" and "Qing Dynasty Harem". On March 11, 2008, he served as the screenwriter and chief planner of "The Last Gege", and won the Best Screenplay Award at the 2008 Southern Festival for this play.
In 2010, he gained attention for the production of the costume drama "Beauty Scheming". In 2011, he gained higher popularity for his role as the screenwriter and producer of "Palace Lock Heart Jade", and won the Best Screenplay Award in Asia at the 16th Asian Television Awards for this play. On August 1, 2014, he won the "Most Anticipated Cross-border Cooperation Award" at the 3rd Star 360 Awards Ceremony; In November of the same year, he won the Best Screenplay Award for Chinese TV Drama at the Chinese American Film Festival.
The "Palace" trilogy, "New Smile and Proud Jianghu", and "Song in the Clouds of Han Love" are all works by Yu Zheng. When Chen Yuan was reborn, Yu Zheng had become the industry's leading screenwriter and producer. Although there are always scandals of one kind or another around him, it is indisputable that Yu Zheng's later works have been all the rage.
Chen Wantong (Ning), screenwriter and online writer. The name Chen Wantong is unfamiliar to many people. In fact, he also has another name - Ning Caishen.
In 1991, Chen Wantong was admitted to East China University of Science and Technology as a young college student to study international finance. After graduating, he followed a friend to Kyoto and worked in a job related to his major, and his career in Kyoto has been up and down.
At the end of 1999, Chen Wantong returned to China Overseas and worked as the operations director of "Under the Banyan Tree" for nearly three years.
In the 2002 Internet bubble, Chen Wancheng resigned and chose to leave. In 2005, he served as the chief screenwriter of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden". The work was a great success. In 2010, Chen Wantong wrote the screenplay "Laughing Jianghu", starring Uncle Benshan, Xiao Shenyang, and Lin Xilei, which was released on December 3 of that year, taking the lead in opening the climax of the Chinese New Year. On May 24, 2011, Chen Wantong was hired as the creative director of SMG Shangshi Pictures. On July 30, 2013, "Dragon Gate Dart Game", written by Chen Wantong as the chief screenwriter, was staged on Anhui Satellite TV, Dragon TV, Hubei Satellite TV, and Tianjin Satellite TV.
In June 2014, Chen Wanyu was arrested for drug use. Since then. His name has been on the banned list for a long time.
may be influenced by future public opinion, Chen Yuan does not have a very good impression of Chen Wanyu. Chen Wantong's talent is worthy of recognition, but his attitude in the face of mistakes is difficult to accept. Chinese people are very kind, not afraid of people making mistakes, as long as you dare to take responsibility, everyone will often forgive him quickly. It's a pity that Chen Wancheng is not like this, he even shouted to the outside world that he has no regrets, so he also attracted the crusade of CCTV celebrity Bai Yanri.
Does this person want to use it or not? Chen Yuan hesitated. What he cares about is not the other party's screenwriting talent. Rather, it is the identity of the leading figure of the first generation of online writers. And now Chen Wantong has been the operation director of "Under the Banyan Tree" for nearly two years, and has accumulated a lot of experience in network marketing. Chen Yuanzheng needs such a talent!
"Mr. Chen has a problem?" Li Bing, who was sorting out his resume next to him, couldn't help but ask when he saw Chen Yuan's appearance at this time.
Chen Yuan raised his head. "If you knew that a person would make mistakes in the future, would you approach him and help him?" ”
Li Bing stopped what he was doing and thought seriously for a while. Then he said, "That's a strange question. First of all, it is impossible for me to know whether a person will make mistakes in the future, because the future is often unpredictable. Secondly, even if he really makes mistakes in the future. What does that have to do with the present? At least he's not wrong now! ”
Chen Yuan nodded and stopped talking. In fact, it is not only Chen Wanyu who will make mistakes in the future, Gao Hu has also been arrested and imprisoned for the same reason. It's just that his correction attitude is relatively correct, and he has a rather hard backstage, so he hasn't been completely blocked.
Just when Chen Yuan was thinking about whether to recruit people like Chen Wanyu into the company, "Crazy Stone", which has been rampaging in the domestic film market, finally met a new opponent - "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Ang Lee was released!
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released in Taiwan earlier than in the mainland, and it was exactly a week earlier. After "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released in Taiwan, the situation was very hot! In just one week, it has accumulated a box office of 32 million Taiwan dollars, which is about 6.4 million when converted into RMB!
Such box office results have caused an uproar in Taiwan! The box office performance of Taiwanese films in the first week has just been refreshed by the 30.8 million of "Nightclub", but I didn't expect "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to rise strongly and set a new record again. If nothing changes in the future, this record will remain in place until 2007, when another Ang Lee film, "Lust and Caution," is released.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was a box office hit in the Taiwan film market, and this situation made the producer An Le Film cheer and lift his spirits. The publicity cost of more than 10 million yuan is really not in vain. More and more Taiwanese people are entering the cinema. The sensation caused by "Nightclub" in Taiwan has gradually been forgotten by people due to the popularity of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The film has already attracted the attention of the whole of Taiwan, and its box office performance in Taiwan will continue to reach new heights.
This Friday morning, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" premiered in the mainland. Xu Qiang, the representative of Anle Films, sat in Zhonghai, collected relevant dynamic data, and transmitted it back to the company on time.
According to this Friday's film schedule, at 10:30, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will be screened at 430 theaters in 107 cinemas on 13 cinemas in China Overseas at the same time.
waited until two o'clock in the afternoon, and the box office data of the time period of 10:30-12:30 was not counted, and the box office in Zhonghai was 480,006, and the attendance rate reached 9 percent! This is the best box office result in recent times, except for "Nightclub" and "Crazy Stone". But in Xu Qiang's view, he is still not satisfied with such results. He thinks the box office performance of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" can be even higher!
At 9 o'clock in the evening, after the box office during the daytime period was counted, Xu Qiang found that the attendance rate of the movie had dropped slightly. He frowned at it, it was completely different from the hot situation he had expected. After he sent the data back to the company, he went straight back to the hotel to rest. Friday's box office won't be counted until tomorrow morning.
Saturday. Xu Qiang got up early in the morning. He ate a bowl of wontons with shepherd's cabbage, and then came to Zhonghailian and the cinema to wait for news.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Mu Yu's assistant walked in with the latest box office data. This data is the single-day box office of major theaters across the country, because of the limited time, there are inevitably omissions in the statistical process, but it is also within the normal margin of error. This data basically says a lot.
Xu Qiang was a little anxious, and he quickly got up from his seat. The assistant handed the box office data to Xu Qiang, and Xu Qiang took a closer look, and the average attendance rate on the first day of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was less than 8 percent! Xu Qiang's eyes widened, how could this be possible?
Qingyun Entertainment. Office of the President.
Chen Yuan holds the same data in his hand, which not only contains all the single-day box office results of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in recent times, but also the box office results of "Crazy Stone", "A Sigh" and several other films.
"The news of the release of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in Taiwan has been transmitted back to the mainland, and the film has once again refreshed Taiwan's box office results, and it is currently very popular." When Li Bing said this, he couldn't help but smile, and said, "I didn't expect that as soon as this movie entered the mainland. It's like not adapting to the soil and water, and the average attendance rate on the first day of the release is less than eighty! ”
The four words of unaccustomed to water and soil reminded Chen Yuan of Hollywood blockbusters. Isn't this "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" just an Oriental Hollywood blockbuster? Its narrative structure is very similar to that of Hollywood blockbusters, but borrowing the shell of Chinese martial arts. It narrates the story of Chinese martial arts.
Before Chen Yuan's memory was restored, he was in awe of the film. In my impression, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a very remarkable movie, not only winning the Oscar. And it was released worldwide, with a total box office of more than 200 million US dollars!
After his memory recovered, Chen Yuan watched this movie again. There is no more reverence. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has achieved extremely excellent results abroad, but at home, its box office is very dismal. In other words, the common people in China are basically indifferent to this oriental Hollywood movie.
Chen Yuan smiled and said: "The movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a combination of martial arts movies and literary films, it is said to be a martial arts movie, but it lacks a storyline with ups and downs, and most people will even feel dull after watching it. Many viewers who are rushing to martial arts movies can only get a little excited when they watch the battle of the bamboo forest in the back, and on the whole, this movie is very unsuitable for the taste of mainland fans. Everyone is used to watching Hong Kong-made martial arts films, and if you watch this kind of film again, you can't accept it. ”
"So that's the case," Li Bing nodded, she hadn't seen this movie, but she was skeptical of Chen Yuan's words. Suddenly, she said: "I remember when you saw this film before, you took it very seriously, as if it would definitely become the enemy of life and death in "Crazy Stone". How now? ”
Chen Yuan pointed to the box office data on the table and said, "It already speaks for itself." ”
"What's the problem?"
Su Muying just touched into the president's office, and when she heard Chen Yuan's last words, she couldn't help asking.
When Chen Yuan saw Su Muying, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he immediately smiled. He said, "How do you have time to come here?" Didn't Mr. Huang give you a lesson? ”
"It's recess time, I'll see if you're lazy," Su Muying grinned and said, "I have a three-hour break at noon today." Brother Chen Yuan, will you accompany me to the movies? ”
She has a lot of schoolwork right now. In addition to cultural courses, students will also learn a variety of knowledge such as performance and music.
At the end of the week, the other children have two days off. She only had 3 hours. The rest of the time has been arranged by Huang Yunling, including getting up, eating and sleeping. She will be living in a stressful and busy life for the rest of the weekend.
Chen Yuan also knew that she was working hard, so naturally he would not refuse her request. He smiled and said, "When I get off work at noon, I will treat you to a big meal, and then go to a movie." What do you think? ”
"Yay! Brother Chen Yuan is the best! After finishing speaking, Su Muying ran away with a smile.
Chen Yuan looked at the time and said to Li Bing: "It's almost time, let's go for an interview!" ”
There are a total of 7 people who will be interviewed this morning, 6 men and 1 woman.
The first to be interviewed was Urshan. Nearly 30 years old, you have a calm bearing. When he came in, he greeted the two interviewers. Li Bing has starred in many film and television dramas, and Wuershan is no stranger. It was Chen Yuan next to Li Bing who surprised Wu Ershan fiercely.
Wu Ershan is familiar with Chen Yuan's deeds, and he originally came to Chen Yuan. But he had never met Chen Yuan.
Ever since he read the job postings on the Internet, there is always a voice in his heart telling him, go quickly, go quickly, this is your chance to change your life! So, here comes your meal.
While Wu Ershan was looking at Chen Yuan and Li Bing, Chen Yuan and the others were also looking at him. Chen Yuan was there silently recalling memories about the other party. Li Bing has already started to ask questions. Her question was straightforward: "Why do you want to join Qingyun Entertainment?" ”
Urshan had never had such an interview before, and he seemed surprised. Then it quickly calmed down again. After thinking about it for a moment, he replied, "For the dream!" This is where my dream comes true. ”
Li Bing glanced at Wu Ershan in surprise, and then asked: "The company receives hundreds of resumes every day, why do we choose you?" Are you better than others? ”
"I can't guarantee that. It's not that I'm not confident, it's that there are people outside of people. "I studied painting since I was a child, and I entered the Central Academy of Fine Arts and the directing department of the Kyoto Film Academy. After graduating in '98, I made short commercials and created my own studio. My dream is to become a director, to be able to shoot my ideal film story, to find that movie world in my heart......"
Chen Yuan suddenly interrupted the other party and asked, "If the company arranges for you to go to the set as an assistant director, are you willing?" ”
"This ......" Ul was overjoyed, nodded again and again, and said, "I am willing!" ”
"Give your junior brother a deputy, won't you feel very shameless?" Li Bing asked curiously.
Wu Ershan smiled bitterly: "If I want to feel faceless, then wouldn't other people be even more faceless?" Ning Hao and Guan Hu both belong to the younger generation of young directors, but they have successively discharged the two very popular movies "Nightclub" and "Crazy Stone". Even a big director like Feng Xiaogang is difficult to compare with them. I have a lot to learn from them, so why do I feel shameless? ”
……
Urshan walked out of the office, he clenched his fists and shouted, "Yay! "It's like a child, dancing happily. His performance fell in the eyes of the other interviewers, and they were both envious and jealous.
The only female interviewer asked, "Are the questions they ask difficult?" ”
"It's not difficult," Wu Ershan thought about it carefully, only to realize that Chen Yuan and the two didn't ask him any questions. He scratched his head and said, "They're all good talkers, and you should be fine." ”
The female interviewer came up to Urshan and asked in a low voice, "Who is interviewing inside?" ”
"It's Mr. Chen and Assistant Li." "Good luck," said Urshan, "I'm going back to pack my things." ”
"Huh?" The female interviewer was stunned, the interview of this company was so strange. Normally, isn't it always after the interview is over, go back and wait for the notice? How can the results be announced on the spot?
She was thinking nonsense outside the door, and the second interviewee had already walked in with a nervous mood, and then walked out with a smile on his face.
3rd place......
4th place......
5th place......
The top five interviewees are almost all the same. Nervous before going in. After coming out, I was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, when the sixth interviewer arrived, the situation changed. He went in laughing and came out crying.
The female interviewer felt very happy when she saw the other party crying. If it was usual, she might come forward and say a few words, what does a big man's crying look like? But now it was her turn, and she tidied up her appearance and walked inside.
In the office, Chen Yuan was waiting for the final interviewer in the morning. When he saw the person coming, he couldn't help but be stunned, and opened his mouth to spit out a name: "Xie Na? (To be continued.) )
