In order to show his attention, Lu Ke sent Qiu Po over to him. As soon as a few people came, Gu Weiqi asked them to escort Li Lizhen and Guan Xiumei away. Then he came to the lounge and chatted with Yang Xuanpan, who was bored; At the same time, Tang Bo sent people to secretly investigate the situation of the Ma brothers, just to find out the details of the other party, he will definitely give him a thunderous blow!

After chatting for a while, Yang Yipan suddenly asked, "Archie, are you really no longer acting in movies?" ”

"For the time being, that's how it should be. In addition, I also plan to let you move to the background development, and now that Chen Baixiang, the manager of our company's planning department, has changed jobs, I hope you can come and help me come and help me take care of the company as the manager of this department. Of course, if you have thought about drama in the future, if you have a suitable role, you will be given priority. Do you think it's good? ”

Yang Yipan nodded obediently and said, "It's good, but I don't have any experience, can this work?" ”

"Don't worry, you're so smart, I'm sure you'll do it. Besides, no one is born knowing everything, and everything is not learned? What's more, I'll have your back in the back. I'll take care of anything for you, you just have to take over this position with peace of mind. ”

In fact, Gu Weiqi has no choice, you must know that now that the company is getting bigger and bigger, and he will often go abroad to develop the theater line in person in the future, he must arrange a few close people in the company in order to supervise the normal operation of the company. Of course, it's not that he doesn't believe in the character of Lin Zhenying and Chen Xunqi, the two vice presidents, but that when Lin Zi is older, there will be any bird, and it will inevitably be good and bad.

And with such a big company, Chen Xunqi and Lin Zhenying will inevitably have places that they can't take care of if they are busy. In this way, the company has an unexpected situation, he can receive the news at any time, so as to make corresponding adjustments in time, it can be said that his style of action has always been like this, take precautions, take one step at a time, take three steps, down-to-earth, step by step, everything is for the healthy development of the company.

After Gu Weiqi's persuasion, Yang Yipan strengthened his confidence, and then he gave him a general explanation of the functions, duties and daily work affairs of the department manager. Then he called Lin Zhenying and Chen Xunqi and told them, and the two of them smiled at them with an ambiguous look flashing in their eyes, but they nodded and agreed, after all, this is not a big deal, as the boss Gu Weiqi can be said to have absolute power in the company, and no one will play against him when he appoints a position.

And with Yang Xuan looking forward to taking over the work of this department, it can also reduce their workload, so why not?

While a few people were talking, Gu Weiqi looked at the wall clock on the wall, and it was almost noon, so he invited a few people to have a meal.

After Gu Weiqi arrived at the company in the afternoon, he first asked his assistant to pass on the appointment of Yang Yipan as the manager of the company's planning department to various departments in the form of written documents. Then the heads of various departments and directors were convened to have a meeting about the company's plans to shoot new films in the future.

"Colleagues, now several films that our company has shot before have been produced. After discussing with the two vice presidents, Brother Ying and Brother Qi, in order to continue to develop new genres of Hong Kong films, I decided to start filming a tragedy, an animated film, a horror film and a disaster blockbuster. ”

Gu Weiqi looked around at everyone and said slowly: "Tragedy and cartoons, I'm already asking Director Huang to get the storyboard script." But I'm still thinking about horror movies and disaster blockbusters, and now I have a little clue. I don't know if you have any opinions? ”

Gao Zhisen couldn't help but speak: "Aren't the 'Mr. Zombie' and 'Mr. Phantom' filmed by our company all horror movies?" ”

Gu Weiqi shook his head and said solemnly: "Although there are also terrifying elements. But it's not a horror movie at all, it's strictly a psychedelic comedy. I'm afraid what I'm going to do now is a more serious, real, thrilling horror movie that makes the audience look thrilling! ”

"But in Xiangjiang, serious horror films are relatively niche, and the audience still likes to watch comedies and kung fu movies."

Liu Zhenwei continued: "Our company has slowly developed with action movies and comedies, and I think that for the stability and sustainable development of the company, it is safe to shoot comedy and kung fu films that we are better at in the early stage." In addition, disaster movies cost a lot of money, and if you don't have a good idea, it's hard to get the audience to buy it, and personal opinions still strongly support the shooting of action movies and comedies. ”

"I'm more in favor of making serious horror films, but now to put it bluntly, Xiangjiang's horror films have developed more deformed."

Lan Naicai said: "For example, it is obviously a horror movie, but it has to add all kinds of funny scenes to make a mess of the original horror atmosphere, although it sells fairly well in Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia, where there is little cultural difference." But in Europe and the United States, where there are large cultural differences, it is miserable. ”

"yes, that's why I decided to make a real horror movie. Brother Cai, since you agree to shoot a serious horror film, you will be responsible for supervising and producing the next horror film that the company will shoot. What do you think? ”

"Okay, since Mr. Gu has spoken, I will definitely do my best. But I don't know what horror movie Mr. Gu is going to make? Can you give us a general idea? ”

"At present, I have a creative idea here called ......" Gu Weiqi wanted to say "Desert Island Horror", and suddenly remembered that Xiangjiang in the original time and space is a serious horror film in the real sense, that is, "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" filmed by Huanyu Film Company in 1999, this film is directed by Liang Honghua, starring Wu Zhenyu, Shi Nianchi, Li Zi, etc.

The film tells the horror story of Chu Renmei, a resentful woman who died unjustly, who killed people continuously through the pond. Before that, the creative concept of Chinese horror movies was missing for a while. The creation of the entire Chinese horror movie is in chaos, and there are some horror elements in "fantasy films", "ghost films", etc. But it's a far cry from a horror movie in the true sense of the word. It is in this context that this film came into being.

And one of its major contributions to Chinese horror movies is to end the abnormal development model of the horror film genre. He has seen this movie twice, and according to his feelings after watching it, this movie follows the creative idea of a serious horror movie from the beginning, and the scene scheduling of the whole film and the lens language all serve the core theme of "horror". Therefore, it can still be praised by the audience as "scary" today. ended the era of Chinese horror movies in name only, and Chinese horror films began to be truly terrifying and thriller.

In particular, this film abandons the routine of previous Xiangjiang horror movies, and appears in a horror style that is quite metaphorical and psychologically suggestive. made this film a good box office result that year as soon as it was released; At the same time, it also won the title of "Huaxia version of midnight bell". To some extent, his appearance can be said to be a sign of the transition of Chinese horror movies from "banter and funny" to "serious horror". Therefore, Gu Weiqi changed his mind and decided to start filming this movie, and it is not too late to shoot "Desert Island Horror" in the future.

After making up his mind, Gu Weiqi said: "It's called 'Old Corpse in the Mountain Village', the general story is like this, Xiao Ming and his companions went out to play, and the companions actually played" Spiritualism Game ', Xiao Ming was born with yin and yang eyes, and could see ghosts, so he refused to participate in this game because he felt inappropriate. As a result, there was an accident in the game, one person died of a heart attack on the spot, and the other three players also died mysteriously for no reason......"

As Gu Weiqi spoke eloquently, everyone listened to it thrillingly.

However, after listening to it, Lan Naicai said excitedly: "Yes, this is a horror movie in the true sense." ”

"What do you think?" Gu Weiqi looked around at everyone and asked.

Uncle Zhang nodded and said, "It sounds terrifying!" ”

Gu Weiqi smiled and said: "Horror movies, what you play is the heartbeat." If it's not scary, how can it be called a horror movie. ”

Yuan Hao couldn't help but say: "But if it is filmed like this, I guess the timid will not dare to go into the theater to watch it." ”

"This is not necessarily, as long as the publicity is done well, there will still be people to watch. I've already told the general story.,I'll leave the rest to you, Brother Cai.,In terms of special effects, you can go to my peculiar toy factory to make models.。 ”

Gu Weiqi said: "Or go to the Blueprint International Digital High-tech R&D Institute and ask Song Meiqi, the development director of the software department, to help you use computer synthesis. Brother Yao, you get the script out as soon as possible and start filming. ”

Huang Bingyao nodded, and Lan Naicai also nodded and said, "Okay, after the meeting is over, I will start preparing for the crew." ”

"Well, Wang Jiawei, your time in the company is not short, our company has shot more than ten movies one after another, and you must have learned a lot. I see that your performance is not bad, this time I promoted you to be Brother Cai's deputy and serve as the director of 'Old Corpse in the Mountain Village', what do you think? ”

Wang Jiawei had long wanted to direct a movie himself, so he took a deep breath when he heard this, suppressed his excitement, and said solemnly: "Mr. Gu, I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down this time!" ”

"Well, I believe you!"

Gu Weiqi nodded with satisfaction, and then said with a slight sigh: "As for disaster films, since some people disagree, I have also carefully considered that the timing of shooting this type of film is indeed a bit immature. In this way, it is better to shoot a martial arts movie and an action movie. As for martial arts films, I have already thought about it, so I will remake the long-standing 'Wong Fei Hung' series filmed by Mr. Kwan Dexing. In the case of an action movie, shoot 'The King of Street Fighters'. What do you think? ”

"I don't have any problem with the action movie 'Street Fighter'."

Lin Zhenying said a word, but the words changed sharply: "But everyone knows that martial arts movies are in decline now." You see that Shao's now has to shoot several martial arts films every year, but he can't make much box office at all, otherwise Shao's wouldn't have reduced production now. ”

"yes." Chen Xunqi also nodded, and seconded: "It seems a bit inappropriate to invest in martial arts films for the development of the company now, Archie, you have to think twice." After all, it's not easy for us to set up a company's signboard, and if we mess up, it won't be good at that time. ”

"You don't have to worry, I know what I know."

Gu Weiqi waved his hand disapprovingly, and said confidently: "In fact, martial arts films are not declining, but falling into a cliché fixed mode, so it gives the industry a false impression of decline." In fact, I think martial arts movies are still very interesting. And the reason why Shao's makes a lot of martial arts films every year and can't make much money is because their sets are old, the system is rigid, and most of the films they produce are the same model, and the audience naturally doesn't buy it. ”

"So what do you mean?" Everyone looked at him and couldn't help but ask.

"If you shoot something new, the audience will naturally buy it. Rest assured, I've never been a person who doesn't make uncertain accounts. ”

Gu Weiqi emphasized: "And this new film shooting plan is related to the honor of the company, and I will never mess around." I've already written the script, I'll keep it at home, I'll bring it tomorrow, and we'll discuss it when you read it. Now let's talk about the director of the cartoon "King Kong Gourd Baby" and the tragedy "The Wrong Car", who here wants to direct these two films? ”

Huang Bingyao proposed: "If you take the wrong car, I think it is good to let director Liu (Zhenwei) direct, his experience as a director is still relatively rich in our company, and his grasp of the rhythm of the plot is very good." It couldn't be more fitting that he would direct it. ”

"So what do you mean, Viagra?"

"Okay then." Liu Zhenwei nodded briskly.

However, he has never made a tragedy film before, which is a good attempt for him. After all, for an excellent director, he should be able to be familiar with any genre, and trying different genres can be bypassed, which is still very beneficial for the growth of a director.

"And what about cartoons?" Gu Weiqi looked around at everyone and asked.

But everyone looked at each other, and Guy had never shot a cartoon before, so he was a blank in terms of experience. Therefore, no one dared to agree rashly. After all, if you mess up and make the company lose money, it is equivalent to ruining your reputation that you have managed to get together. So everyone stared at each other with wide eyes, and for a while the conference room was so quiet that it was audible to hear the pins falling.
