Chapter 239 Interests
"Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why I have a banquet today is to thank me for withstanding the pressure and allowing the company to tide over the difficulties when the accident happened a few days ago."
In the spacious and bright large hall of the flagship store of Yushanfang International Restaurant, Gu Weiqi looked around at everyone and emphasized: "Especially many senior executives of the company, when facing our peers and opponents, they can keep the bottom line and not be confused by that little profit, I think everyone has done a good job." ”
After a pause, he said: "Of course, there are also people who leave the company regardless of morality for the sake of the immediate interests. There is nothing to say about such people, and in the future, China Entertainment International Superstar Entertainment Agency will never be hired, and all the brother companies of 'China Entertainment International' will never be hired. For outstanding employees who stick to their posts at critical moments, they will be rewarded with a basic salary of three months. ”
Everyone laughed and said, "Okay." ”
Gu Weiqi looked at the wine and dishes that came up like flowing water, retracted his gaze and said: "I won't say much nonsense, everyone is open, eat and drink well, if there is anything at work, let's go back to the company after dinner." ”
Everyone nodded, and as the wine and food came up, everyone was not polite, and Boss Gu said that he was open to eat.
But the food is good, but the drink is not good, after all, there is still work in the afternoon. Although Gu Weiqi asked the hotel to prepare some wine, but there were not many, but there were a lot of drinks. But the atmosphere is quite good, invisibly, after this incident, the entire "Oriental Hollywood International Film Company" has become more cohesive and centripetal.
Moreover, after this turmoil, some of the grass on the wall that saw the wind and steered the rudder was also dug up by other companies, which can be regarded as helping the "Donglai Company" to clear the hidden dangers.
After the luncheon, Gu Weiqi led everyone back to the company and held a meeting.
At the meeting, Gu Weiqi learned that because of his accident, Jiahe, Xin Yicheng and Shao Daheng and others fell into the well to poach corners, which made people's hearts fluctuate. Therefore, the seven films that the company is shooting, "Mr. Zombie: The Legend of Immorality", "Happy Ghost Summer Vacation", "The True Colors of Heroes", "Police Story", "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", "Chainsaw" and "Truant Dragon" have been delayed for a lot of time, and they have not yet been filmed.
However, the "barefoot kid" who cooperated with Shao Yifu has been filmed, and is currently undergoing editing and post-production.
In addition, the "Horror Cruise" released a few days ago hit the street, and it was released in a hurry for three days, and the audience reported that they couldn't understand it, they didn't know what to do, and the clouds and mountains were covered in fog, so Xu Yanbing painted it. However, the "fast food truck" that followed was quite popular with the audience, and although the film released is not a good schedule, the attendance rate is still more than seven or eighty percent.
Especially at night, it even reached an attendance rate of more than 90 percent, which shows how popular this film is with the audience.
There is also good news, that is, Taiwan has lifted the ban on Gu Weiqi Film Company.
After Gu Weiqi learned about the company's current operation, the first thing was to stabilize his position, let the company resume normal operations, and the crew of the listening crew resumed filming. Since the ban has been lifted on the Taiwan side, let's continue to promote the film to the Taiwan screen, although the audience in the projectile land of Taiwan is not much, but fortunately, no matter how small the mosquito's legs are, it is a piece of meat.
Gu Weiqi didn't care about the "Horror Cruise" hitting the street, but in order to find out the reason for the street fighting, he watched it in person, and found that the handling of the storyline was not as in the script, the conversion of the shots, and the editing There were also many problems, and the acting skills of Laura Fonta, who played the heroine, were not very satisfactory, so it is no wonder that she would hit the street.
Of course, according to Gu Weiqi, there are no bad actors, only bad directors.
After Gu Weiqi learned of this reason, he was very angry, if this film was strictly filmed according to his script, it would definitely not hit the street like this. Now the director has caused a lot of losses to the company by modifying the script without authorization, and considering that the company's directors will do this in the future, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Therefore, Gu Weiqi put forward a request to the directors present at the meeting, unless the director of the company is sure that the box office of the film will not be lower than the expected box office, if this is the case, then the movie can be made how you want, as long as the audience buys and approves it. If you don't have this certainty, you will honestly shoot according to the script.
Otherwise, the director and producer will bear all the losses. To put it bluntly, what this means is to tell the directors that you can have an idea, and you can put it in the movie. But you can't go off topic in the first place, or you will be responsible for losing money. Of course, if you strictly follow the script, it doesn't matter if you lose money on the street.
This is also the responsibility system, you must know that the welfare of "Donglai Company" has always been good. However, there are very few punishment regulations for the company, Gu Weiqi feels that this is not a good thing, and if the company wants to develop in the long run, it must have a perfect reward and punishment mechanism. Therefore, at the meeting, the regulations on rewards and punishments for directors were announced.
There is nothing to say about this, and it is definitely not healthy for a company to have a reward mechanism without a penalty requirement. And this is also a kind of spurring pressure for directors, and only with pressure will there be motivation. Everyone didn't have any opinions, and even responded to Boss Gu's request.
As soon as the meeting was over, the assistant secretary walked into the office and told Gu Weiqi that Shao Yifu had come to visit him.
Gu Weiqi was stunned for a moment, and then involuntarily sneered in his heart, this old fox was jumping up and down a few days ago waving a hoe to dig his own corner, and now he is embarrassed to put himself? It's really hard not to be admired, but if you really want to talk about the reason why Taiwan was able to lift the ban on his company, this old fox seems to have made a lot of effort.
And the two families still have a cooperative relationship, so it is not appropriate to tear their faces. After all, in the small land of Xiangjiang, if you look down and don't look up, if you really want to tear your face, then it won't look good on both sides. Therefore, Gu Weiqi groaned slightly, and asked the secretary to take Shao Yifu to the reception room, and after a while, he went over to meet this old fox and see what he wanted to do here.
After Shao Yifu was brought to the reception room, someone brought him tea. However, after waiting for a long time, Gu Weiqi didn't show up, and he couldn't help but be a little secretly annoyed in his heart. But imagining that he stabbed himself in the back some time ago, and what he did to Gu Weiqi at the critical moment, he was relieved. Especially his concubine Fang Yihua wielded a hoe and dug people more fiercely than herself.
Because Fang Yihua is now concentrating on the "Wireless" TV station, but with the rise of "Phoenix TV" and "Oriental Hollywood International Film Company", "Wireless" has gradually presented an embarrassing situation of Xiaosheng and Hua Dan. If you want to change this situation, in addition to cultivating your own talents, you can only poach people from other companies in the short term.
Some time ago, after the news of Gu Weiqi's "death" came out, Fang Yihua wantonly poached people from the "China Entertainment International Superstar Entertainment Agency" and the "Phoenix Artist Training Class", but it gave Zhao Yuzhi a headache for a while. Fortunately, the top first-line stars did not let her dig up, and most of the second- and third-tier stars were poached, although they had certain potential, but the loss caused to Gu Weiqi was not big.
To put it simply, it is within the range of what you can bear.
But even if this is the case, it will definitely be uncomfortable for anyone to put on it. You must know that Gu Weiqi and Shao Yifu have a close cooperative relationship, and they have successively cooperated in filming films such as "Huang Feihong's Top Gun" and "Eight Star Annunciation", which have brought huge profits to Shao Tycoon, and the two have been cooperating in the filming of "Barefoot Boy" before.
But Shao Tycoon actually stabbed a knife in the back at a critical moment, and fell into the well when Gu Weiqi's company underwent great changes, and even his own partners were pitted. If that's the case, who will dare to cooperate with him in the future?
It is with this in mind that Shao Tycoon will come to visit Gu Weiqi the day after his "resurrection", the purpose of which is naturally to explain to him the "misunderstanding" between the two parties and continue to deepen the cooperative relationship. To put it bluntly, it is with Gu Weiqi's ability as a "gold medal screenwriter" and his keen sense of film smell that the two sides can make a few more films together to make money.
Although this is a bit of a loss for Shao Tycoon, no one will be unable to get by. Especially for people like Shao Tycoon, who has lived sixty or seventy years old and has been rolling in the mall for most of his life, he knows that sometimes although face is important, the real benefits are more important. Which is more important, he is like a mirror in his heart.
"Ouch, boss Shao, rare guest, rare guest."
Just when Shao Yifu was waiting impatiently, Gu Weiqi suddenly appeared at the door of the reception room, only to see him strolling into the room, squinting at Shao Yifu, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Boss Shao would have a lot of opportunities to come to the division today." I'm sorry, Gu was a little busy just now, and if you are sluggish, please don't blame Boss Shao. ”
As he spoke, he sat down on the sofa opposite Shao Tycoon. However, there was a meaningful sneer on the corner of his mouth, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking in his heart.
Shao Yifu waved his hand and smiled quietly: "It's okay, Shao someone knows that you are busy with work, and it doesn't matter if you board for a while." ”
"Then I don't know why Boss Shao came here today?"
"There are three main things."
"Oh, Boss Shao, please speak, Gu is listening."
"The first thing is that after my continuous activities, the Taiwan side has finally lifted the ban on your Oriental Hollywood International Film Company, which must have been received by you, right?"
"Yes, Gu has already received the news. Boss Shao has worked hard, and Gu Mou, on behalf of all colleagues in Donglai Company, would like to thank Boss Shao for his help. ”
"Hard work is nothing, as long as Boss Gu doesn't forget our cooperation."
"Of course, my memory has always been good, so don't worry."
"That's good, the second thing is that the 'Barefoot Kid' we jointly shot has been filmed, and the post-production is about to be completed."
"Oh, I've heard about it, isn't that nice? Now that the production has been completed, the publicity and publicity will be screened on a later date, is there any problem? ”
"There's no problem, I just hope that Boss Gu can write another script, and let's jointly shoot a new film, which is also the third thing I came to you today."
"Oh." Gu Weiqi shook his head and said, "Boss Shao, you're too anxious, aren't you?" You know, the 'Barefoot Kid' we filmed hasn't been released yet, and you want to shoot a new film? Think writing a script is such a simple thing? Besides, you've probably heard that I had a disaster some time ago, and I almost died, and my internal injuries haven't healed yet. ”
"Oh, it turns out that the rumors are true, Boss Gu, you were really assassinated?"
"Yes, fortunately, I was blessed with a great fortune and escaped in the end. Oh yes, I heard you were digging into my corner with a hoe behind your back when the news of my death broke, right? I said Boss Shao, what you do is equivalent to stabbing your partner in the back, isn't it authentic? Anyway, you're also a famous entertainment tycoon. ”
Rao is tycoon is cunning and cunning, and his cheeks twitched when he was still choked by Gu Weiqi's words, but after a few convulsions, he returned to his usual words: "First of all, I admit that I did have the idea of poaching your company's talents, and the reason why this is so is when you encounter an accident, considering that Lei Juekun of Xinyicheng and Jiahe's wrinkles will attack your company, and I have to passively find a way to poach people." Otherwise, if you think about it, the talents have arrived in Jiahe and Xinyicheng, then my oriental charm is not taken care of by talents, how can I have fun? ”
Gu Weiqi said funny: "So, Gu is wrong to blame the boss?" ”
Shao Yifu nodded solemnly and said, "That's right, Boss Gu, you are completely wrong to blame someone." So ......"
"So what?"
"So I hope that some misunderstandings will not affect our future cooperation."
"That's natural, but I don't have a clue about the projection of the new film right now. Boss Shao, let me think about it, and I'll contact you when I think about it, okay? ”
"Okay then, let's take their leave. And since Boss Gu's internal injuries have not healed, he must take care of his injuries first, and wait for the injuries to heal, anyway, there is no rush to shoot a new film. As long as you keep this in mind. ”
"Don't worry, Boss Shao, Gu will definitely not forget, if you go slowly, Gu will not be far away."
"Stay, stay Boss Gu, wait for a few days your internal injuries to heal, let's come out and get together again." With that, the tycoon turned around and got into a Rolls-Royce sedan.
Gu Weiqi looked at Shao Tycoon's car and went away, the smile on his face was slowly replaced by a cold expression, this old fox is really cunning, in order to continue to steal huge profits from himself, he did not hesitate to visit, and he didn't even get angry at all after hanging the other party for a long time, in the final analysis, everything is a matter of interest.
Therefore, Gu Weiqi did not tear his face with the other party, you must know that he has a lot of enemies now, first of all, the British Commonwealth political axe, because of its frequent cooperation with the mainland, it has long caused the dissatisfaction of the British Hong Kong government. However, because he is afraid that he has strong financial resources, powerful public opinion tools such as TV stations, newspapers, and magazines, and more importantly, he secretly controls the power of tens of thousands of associations in Xiangjiang.
If you really want to deal with Gu Weiqi, then Gu Weiqi will definitely make a mess out of control if he doesn't hesitate to break the net, so although the British Hong Kong government can't look at Gu Weiqi's actions, it has to turn a blind eye. Of course, if there is a chance to stumble with him, he will definitely spare no effort to fix him.
In addition to the British Commonwealth Hong Kong Government, Carl Morgan, Zhao Wenwu, Zheng Chengying, Yan Fangfei, the "Killer Alliance" and so on can be said to be his enemies, so he seems to be in the mix, but in fact, he is surrounded by enemies and dangers. At this time, to be able to coexist peacefully with the Shao tycoon, there is naturally no need to make extraneous branches.
Just as Gu Weiqi was looking at the scene of Shao Tycoon's car driving away, in the room of a nearby hotel, there were two white foreigners, a man and a woman, holding binoculars, secretly observing Gu Weiqi through the gap in the window curtain - these two people were actually Banchar and Hailin from the Wharton family in the United States.
In fact, the two have been in Xiangjiang for several days, but they are cautious by nature, and have been secretly investigating and observing, and they are not in a hurry to do anything. Especially about Gu Weiqi's "resurrection from the dead", it made them feel very strange. However, according to the order given to them by their Zhu Zi Fei Lian Wharton, it is to find out Wharton-Tang Moyun's body first.
If it really doesn't work, Gu Weiqi will be beheaded. But through observation, they found that Gu Weiqi did not seem to be an ordinary person, which made them feel uncertain, so they did not dare to act rashly. Of course, in addition to observing Gu Weiqi, who else did he come into contact with? What are the relatives? This was all when Fellian Wharton explained that they needed to investigate.
But now it seems that things are far more complicated than they imagined. Because not to mention the assassination of Gu Weiqi at close range, even long-distance observation seems to have been sensed by Gu Weiqi. When they were secretly observing Gu Weiqi with binoculars, Gu Weiqi looked up and looked over here several times. It was purely instinctive, because he always felt as if someone was watching him secretly.
In fact, he did feel good at all. But it is precisely because of this that Banchar and Helen realize that this mission is not simple. On the contrary, they felt that it was very difficult and could not solve the goals and tasks in any way, so after thinking twice, they called Fellian Wharton again, hoping that the Lord would continue to send more men to Xiangjiang to support them.
Fellian Wharton was very happy, and when he learned that the situation was so complicated, he sent two Ability Masters over.
