"Two, this is Mr. Gu Weiqi, the owner of our Donglai Film Company. Boss, this is Miss Xia Xuerong, and this is Mr. Lu Fang. ”

Fang Lingwei led a man and a woman who had been found through a headhunting company into Gu Weiqi's office, and introduced: "Miss Xia graduated from the British Imperial Film School, worked in Srock Film Company in Europe, and has a lot of experience in the distribution of films; Mr. Lu graduated from the USC Film School in the United States, worked at MGM Studios in Hollywood, and has very experience in the distribution and sales of video tapes. ”

"Oh, you two, please be seated." Gu Weiqi put down the pen that was tinkering with the novel, made a gesture, and began to look at the two of them.

I saw that Xia Xuerong was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and her delicate face looked particularly delicate and brilliant under the modification of makeup; With a tall figure and a decent, elegant and playful outfit, the fashion temperament is inadvertently revealed from her every gesture.

Lu Fang, on the other hand, is a young man in his thirties, wearing a formal suit, a pair of black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his eyes behind the lenses are bright, and he seems to be a shrewd character. However, the specific work ability needs to be tested in practice.

"Thank you." The two looked at each other and sat down, and also looked at Gu Weiqi.

Gu Weiqi asked Fang Lingwei to serve a cup of coffee to the two of them, and said slowly: "Both, the reason why you are recruited through a headhunting company is to let you be responsible for the two businesses of film distribution and video tape distribution, I think you should already know something. Although our Donglai Film is still a small film company. However, several films produced by our company have reaped huge box office profits, which you should also understand if you pay attention to Xiangjiang Films. ”

"Recently, there have been a lot of news about Donglai Company in the newspapers, and I have paid attention to this."

Lu Fang said: "Especially the quality of the blockbusters produced by the eight major film companies in Hollywood, especially the blockbuster produced by the eight major film companies in Hollywood, and I have watched it twice in the theater." I feel that at this rate of development, Donglai Company will definitely be able to replace Shao and Jiahe in a few years and become the new overlord of the Hong Kong film industry. ”

"Yes, I didn't expect Xiangjiang movies to develop so fast."

Xia Xuerong said with emotion: "I remember when I was studying in London five years ago, I came back once, watched a few movies, and felt that whether it was the set, costumes and props, or the story plot, there was a big gap with Europe and the United States. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, the development speed of Xiangjiang films has almost caught up with the footsteps of Europe and the United States. ”

"In recent years, the development speed of Xiangjiang films has indeed been very fast. It is certain that we will catch up with Europe and the United States in the future, and in my plan, it is not just as simple as catching up with them, but surpassing them in an all-round way. Of course, that's where the two of you wish me a hand. ”

Gu Weiqi said slowly: "Regarding the specific work of the two of them, I arranged it like this. Miss Xia, you are in charge of film distribution, in the early stage, the main thing is to distribute our films, and in the future, after the establishment of foreign channels, you can also distribute high-quality films produced by other production companies; Mr. Lu, you are in charge of the distribution of the videotapes. ”

"Okay." The two nodded.

"These two distribution companies are called Oriental Hollywood, which can just expand the popularity of our film company. Right now, your main job is to recruit people, and first set up the various departments of the company. There is also the investment in the construction of a copy printing department and a videotape production factory. Or just let the Tang Dynasty Fund help you buy one. ”

The two nodded in understanding. Then Gu Weiqi asked Fang Lingwei to take two employment contracts and a commercial confidentiality agreement for them to sign, and then gave them 20 million funds each, so they let them take active action. After all, with the popularity of "The Grandmaster of National Art from Scratch", the release of foreign cities is imminent. There is also the need to release videotapes for "lifting and letting go of the little hands".

After the two left, Fang Lingwei reported to Gu Weiqi that the first batch of "Guoshu Cultural Shirts" and "Guoshu Sneakers" produced by Charm Baby International Clothing and Shoes Company had been put on the market. And with the popularity of the movie "The Grandmaster of Guoshu from Scratch", the sales momentum is very good.

When Gu Weiqi got the news, he was immediately overjoyed, and he took this opportunity to call Luo Jianan again, asking her to buy another commercial building to open a Guoshu-themed restaurant; At the same time, the unused floors were converted into a movie theater to expand the scale of the theater chain, after all, there were too few theaters in the Tang Dynasty theater line.

However, it is not cost-effective to add a large-scale cinema line now, after all, the real estate industry is in full swing now, and housing prices are scary. But by the end of '82 and the middle of '83, the real estate industry would collapse, and it would not be too late to buy land and shops on a large scale.

Just put down the phone here, and Lin Zhenying came over.

"Brother Lin is here, sit down." Gu Weiqi invited Lin Zhenying to sit down, let Fang Lingwei serve a pot of tea, and asked, "Brother Lin, how is the post-production of the 'Diamond Robbery'?" ”

Lin Zhenying took a sip of tea and replied: "It's almost there, the rest of Liu Zhenwei and Chen Xunqi are doing it." It's not my business now, Hong Jinbao asked me to help him shoot 'scary'. I just came here to ask, what new drama does the company want to open next? ”

"New plays are definitely going to be opened, and I have nearly twenty of them here just after the scripts have been written."

As Gu Weiqi spoke, he took out a script from the drawer, walked to the sofa in front of Lin Zhenying, sat down, and handed over the script: "This is the new drama that the company will start filming next, I plan to let you be the starring role, and I will play a supporting role for you." How about you take a look at the script first? We'll talk about it later. ”

"Oh, Mr. Zombie?" Lin Zhenying opened the script with great interest and saw the title of the play at a glance.

That's right, this script is exactly "Mr. Zombie" that Gu Weiqi has been preparing for many days. In history, it was this drama that made Lin Zhenying very popular, and since then it has been out of control, and all the zombie films in which he participated have been box office hits. There is a good saying: "If zombies don't watch Lin Zhenying, it's useless to watch zombies", which means that the zombie movies he starred in are good-looking.

Lin Zhenying read it in one breath with great interest, and he couldn't help laughing, who has always been serious, looked up at Gu Weiqi and praised: "This script is good, I feel much more interesting than the 'Seven Corpses Gold' filmed by Shao's Film Company in 74, and it should make a difference at the box office if it is filmed." ”

Gu Weiqi nodded and said with a smile: "In addition to you and me, I plan to let Xu Guanying play the second male lead, let the old lady Ren let Yuan Hao of the Hong family class play, and let Master Ren let Huang Wei play." The heroine let Li Saifeng star, and you have an idea for the other roles, what do you think of this arrangement? ”

"Very good. Words for a few other characters...... I think it's good to let Chen Xunqi play the role of the corpse chaser, and Yuan Biao play the captain of Ah Wei. If you are a female ghost, just go to Phoenix and find an actress. ”

"Okay, you can contact the actors. On my side, I had toy companies and costume factories order props and costumes. By the way, there is also a filming location, you inform Huang Yongheng and Wang Jiawei to let them look for it. ”

"Okay, then that's it, Mr. Gu, I'll go first."

"Okay, Brother Lin, you go slowly."

Just sent off Lin Zhenying, Fang Lingwei reported to Gu Weiqi that in addition to Anita Mui's album has been listed, Chen Huixian and Ye Qianwen's album has also been officially launched, and the current market response is very good. Anita Mui's album has already sold 250,000 copies, while Chen Huixian and Ye Qianwen's albums have only been on the market for a week, and they have both sold more than 100,000 copies.

In addition, the arcade machine developed by "Blueprint Digital" is ready for mass production, and the gossip of "Contra" and "The King of Fighters" has been corrected, so ask him what his next project will be.

Gu Weiqi tried the arcade machine in the past, and felt pretty good, so he held a meeting with the software and hardware development engineers of the Blueprint Digital High-tech Research and Development Institute, and invested 100 million US dollars in R&D funds, and instructed them to continue to develop games, including "Saroman Snake", "Mega Man", "Bomberman", "Pokemon", "Maple", "Maple", etc.; At the same time, he entered the IT industry and developed personal computers, including the first to develop "Excel" and "Word" office software and particle effects.

After the meeting, it was already evening when Gu Weiqi returned home. At that time, Tang Bo, who was shirtless, was slowly playing a set of boxing techniques in the courtyard. He couldn't help but sigh that the other party's physique was really strong, how long has it been, and now he has been injured so badly that he is not only half healed, but he is also able to practice, he is really a perverted guy.

Tang Bo played this set of boxing techniques very slowly, and Gu Weiqi could see at a glance that this was Taijiquan, and it was a more authentic Taijiquan method. He not only practiced Tai Chi, Xingyi and Bagua three major internal boxing, but also involved in the southern school of long boxing, the northern school of leg springing, and the eight poles, splitting and poking feet and other factions of boxing.

Gu Weiqi walked over and said with a smile: "You have recovered well, Brother Tang, I see what you mean, it is estimated that the injury will be completely healed in another ten days and a half months." ”

"Thanks to you, if you hadn't come to the rescue this time, I'm afraid I would have been in a catastrophe." Tang Bo stopped and asked, "What have you been busy with lately?" ”

"Movies, novels, whatever, all kinds of busyness anyway." Gu Weiqi scratched his head and continued: "Now your injuries are half healed. What are your plans for the future? Why don't you come and help me make a movie? ”

"I'm sorry man, but I don't know how to make movies." Tang Bo shook his head and said with a funny feeling: "If I ask you to help you make a movie, I will definitely suffer more and more!" I'm good at breaking people's necks or shooting bullets into people's brains! ”

Gu Weiqi was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Don't tell me that you are ...... The killer is coming? ”

"You're right." Tang Bo's face was solemn, and he emphasized: "Strictly speaking, I am a despicable but not losing my nature, shameless but not disgraceful professional killer!" ”

"Uh......"

Gu Weiqi was speechless, originally just talking casually, but he didn't expect the other party to be a killer. At this time, it suddenly dawned on him, no wonder he was so seriously injured when he saw the other party, it must have been an accident during the operation, so he nodded and said: "If you are a killer, then all this makes sense." But do you really plan to be a killer for the rest of your life? ”

Tang Bo sighed and said, "I won't do anything other than kill people." If you don't be a killer, what else can you do? ”

"You'll need to think about it yourself." Gu Weiqi patted him on the shoulder and said, "But now we are friends, so no matter what you want to do, I will support you." That's right, since you're a killer. I don't know if you know the more famous mercenaries in the world? ”

"Mercenaries?" Tang Bo said proudly: "Of course I know, I am familiar with the top ten mercenary groups in the world. Why do you ask this? ”

"I want to form a mercenary army and support a community. Probably you don't know it, the Xiangjiang community is very rampant. ”

Gu Weiqi frowned and emphasized: "They kidnap tickets, assassinate, collect protection money, and sometimes do everything to achieve their goals. My career is getting bigger and bigger, and I have to build up an armed force to protect my various industries. ”

"Form a mercenary? I'm really interested in this! Tang Bo muttered: "Why don't you do this, how about I help you form a mercenary army?" ”

"It would be great if you could help me." Gu Weiqi was suddenly overjoyed.
