At more than two o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Lingwei told Gu Weiqi that Chen Xunqi and Lin Zhenying had come over.

As soon as Gu Weiqi was in good spirits, he immediately asked Fang Lingwei to bring the two in.

"You two, please be seated." When Gu Weiqi saw the two of them, he hurriedly walked out of the large chair in the desk, pointed to the sofa against the wall and gestured, and told Fang Lingwei to make a pot of tea, and then looked at the two carefully.

Chen Xunqi's two iconic mustaches, Gu Weiqi is too familiar. As for the "Ninth Uncle" Lin Zhenying, the lord's name is even more thunderous. However, the current Lin Zhenying is actually very young, but his face looks relatively old.

Speaking of which, Chen Xunqi is the best soundtrack musician among the directors of Hong Kong, the best producer among the soundtrack artists, the best flying car director among the producers, the best screenwriter among the flying car directors, one of the most famous actors among the screenwriters, and one of the most successful directors among the actors.

As far as Gu Weiqi knows, the famous "Ink King" Wang Jiawei has worked as a screenwriter under him for six years, and he has also made soundtracks for Wang Jiawei's "Chongqing Forest", "Fallen Angel", "East Evil and West Poison", and served as the music director of "Unparalleled in the World". Not only that, but he is also the executive director, action director and speed director of films such as "The Eagle Project", "Drunken Fist 2", "Thunderbolt", "Glass Bottle", "Rush Hour" and many more.

And Lin Zhenying follows the normal trend of history, as far as Gu Weiqi knows, the other party should be in the Hong family class led by Hong Jinbao. How can you come to your own company to apply? This made him wonder in his heart.

In fact, strictly speaking, Lin Zhenying is not from the Hong family. Although filming with Hong Jinbao, he still remains free. Hong Jiaban has a fixed monthly salary every month, even if he only shoots one scene a month, he can still receive a salary. But he didn't have a fixed salary, but he only got money for filming.

In fact, in the 70s, Lin Zhenying was even more popular than Hong Jinbao, and he designed martial arts routines specifically for kung fu superstar Li Xiaolong. And Li Xiaolong is also very important to him, and if he wasn't there, he would rather not shoot.

When Li Xiaolong successfully entered the Chinese film industry with "Enter the Dragon", he also wanted to bring Lin Zhenying to Hollywood to develop. That can be said to be Lin Zhenying's most beautiful period. has a status better than Hong Jinbao and Cheng Throat, and he is also a well-known figure in the martial arts circle who is respected as a big brother.

But it's a pity that the sudden death of a generation of dragons also shattered Lin Zhenying's Hollywood dream. The Dragon and Tiger Martial Artists who followed Li Xiaolong before were also scattered, and all of them voted for another portal. He was alone, so he had to follow Hong Jinbao to film. However, he didn't want to be a head shorter because of this, so he insisted on not voting for the Hong family class.

As we all know, Hong Jinbao is more kind-hearted, knows that his character is like this, and takes a fancy to his talent, so he doesn't have to ask for it. This time coincided with the "Oriental Hollywood International Film Company" in newspapers and TV to promote and recruit the crew.

In particular, Gu Weiqi is very well paid, with an annual salary of 50,000 yuan, if the salary is calculated separately after the filming of the movie, this is definitely the top in the industry. Especially recently, the promotional slogan of investing tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars and recruiting actresses of millions of Hong Kong dollars has made the entire film industry look sideways.

Especially after Gu Weiqi appeared in the "Mythical and Legendary Singing Contest", Lin Zhenying heard that he was the boss of Phoenix TV and knew that it was a very strong company, so he came to apply. As for Chen Xunqi, he came here purely after hearing his master Wang Fuling say that Boss Gu is a good person.

After looking at the two of them, Gu Weiqi slowly sat on the sofa opposite the two and said, "My name is Gu Weiqi, and I am the boss of Oriental Hollywood International Film Company, but you can just call me Archie." This is Lin Zhenying's eldest brother, right? I've seen your movie, and it's very good. This must be Brother Chen Xunqi, welcome the two to join the Oriental Hollywood Company. ”

The two looked at each other and asked, "Mr. Gu agrees that we will join the Oriental Hollywood Company?" ”

"Of course, the two of them have been engaged in the film industry for many years, and they are both people with real skills, and now our company needs talents like the two of them."

Gu Weiqi nodded solemnly and said with a smile: "If you want to know the salary, I won't say more." As long as the two of you follow me and work hard, the company will make money in the future, and I will definitely not treat the two of you badly. I wonder if you have any special requirements? ”

Chen Xunqi chuckled: "Hehe, I don't have any special requirements, as long as there is filming and salary, it will be done." ”

"Me too." Lin Zhenying nodded.

"You don't have to worry about this, I invested 50 million Hong Kong dollars in this company, to be honest, our company is not bad for money, and the salary must be indispensable to you. In addition, in order to give you a head start in the future, and of course, to make you work harder, I decided to give 2% of the shares to the two of you. ”

"Two percent of the shares?" The two looked at each other with expressions of surprise on their faces.

Two percent is equivalent to 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and if two people divide it equally, one person is 500,000. This money is equivalent to taking it for nothing. But if you really want to talk about it, Gu Weiqi made it, because the profits created by these two big people in the future will be immeasurable. Gu Weiqi knew their skills, so he naturally wanted to use the bond of interests to tie them firmly to the chariot of Donglai Company.

"That's right, two percent, and you both get an average of one percent each. But don't underestimate this one percent of the shares, in my plan, our company will develop into a super film empire that comprehensively surpasses the eight major Hollywood film companies in the United States in the future. At that time, the value will increase a thousandfold. ”

"Super Cinema Empire?" The two were moved again, although the boss didn't look very old, but his ambition was not small. But for some reason, the two of them had a feeling of deep belief in his words.

Gu Weiqi nodded, and continued: "I have written several scripts in my hands now. The main thing is that there is no manpower, and if the manpower is in place, it can start shooting at any time. ”

"How many scripts?" Chen Xunqi and Lin Zhenying glanced at each other, and couldn't wait to ask, "I don't know what script it is?" ”

"I can't tell you a few words, so you'll see for yourself later."

Gu Weiqi got up and took the contract, the commercial confidentiality agreement and the share transfer agreement for the two, put them in front of the two and said, "If there is nothing wrong with the two eldest brothers, sign these documents first, and I will give you the script later." ”

The two picked it up and took a general look, and the contract did not fall into the black pit. However, there is one point, if the two change jobs in the future, Gu Weiqi has the right to withdraw the contract at any time, and will recover the share dividends they received during their work at Oriental Hollywood International Film Company. In other words, signing a contract is equivalent to tying to the chariot of "Donglai Company (referred to as Oriental Hollywood International Film Company)".

However, the two of them have no opinion on this, after all, this request is quite reasonable. So I decisively signed the name and date.

At that time, Fang Lingwei walked in with a pot of tea, Gu Weiqi took the teapot and poured tea for the two of them, while instructing: "Sister Weiwei, help me bring the scripts of 'National Art Grandmaster Starting from Scratch' and 'Chasing Girls' for Brother Lin and Brother Chen to see." ”

"Okay." Fang Lingwei nodded, took out two scripts from Gu Weiqi's desk drawer, and handed them to the two.

In fact, Gu Weiqi originally wrote out "Modern Bodyguard". It's just that the Xu Brothers Film Company is almost finished, so naturally it can't be taken out again. Lin Zhenying got "The Grandmaster of Guoshu from Scratch", the general plot of this drama is that the protagonist was an ordinary student in Xiangjiang, and then accidentally met Tang Zichen, who had a mysterious identity, learned kung fu from her, and stepped on the stock market step by step on the road of the grandmaster of Guoshu.

The plot of the drama "Chasing Girls" that Chen Xunqi got is not complicated, mainly about Luo Baidu is a student in the United States, he can't study, and he fools around with his ghost sister all day long, Luo's mother was angry, and drove Luo back to Hong Kong, lived in his aunt's house, and hoped that Luo could marry a Tangshan sister as his wife. However, after Luo returned to Hong Kong, his romance did not change, and he chased girls all day long.

His cousin Gao Laoquan, who is not good-looking, wants to chase a movie star. Luo ostensibly helped his cousin pursue female stars, but in fact, he was the one who succeeded in the end. One night, Luo and the star attended a ball, Luo found a waitress named Yahua, who was as beautiful as a flower, stepped forward to pick up Shanshan, was seen by the female star, and immediately turned her face, hurting Yahua's self-esteem between words. Luo even explained to the female star again and again, but ignored Yahua.

Yahua cried to her father, and Hua's father immediately taught her experience to teach Yahua to destroy the relationship between Luo and the female star. In the end, Yahua got her wish and officially held a wedding with Luo......

When the two got the script, they were first taken aback. Because Gu Weiqi's storyboard script is quite complete. You must know that at this time, the Hong Kong film industry does not pay attention to the script at all. Generally, screenwriters are paid very little, their status is low, and their jobs are not guaranteed. And after the script is written, the boss changes, the director changes, the actors change, and the cat and dog can also change, and by the time it is released, it will be unrecognizable, and even the screenwriter himself can't recognize it.

The funniest thing is that many people start filming when they have an idea, and many of the scenes are thought of while shooting, so you can imagine how rough the movie is. It is rumored that Wang Jiawei thought of an idea when he was filming "The True Story of A Fei".

At that time, the budget was said to be less than 10 million Hong Kong dollars. But then it kept reinventing and starting over, and then kept making additional investments, and finally got more than 40 million. As a result, the cost was not even recovered, and it is even said that the investment boss was almost bankrupt. This shows the importance of the script.

Such a perfect storyboard script made by Gu Weiqi is absolutely very rare in Xiangjiang. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as a person who has been mixed in the film industry and has no water in his brain, he can start filming according to the storyboard script. And because it is a storyboard script drawn in advance, it not only saves time and effort when shooting, but also greatly saves costs, which is simply a few in one fell swoop.

But people are impetuous, who can calm down and seriously polish the script in order to make money? The reason why Xiangjiang movies declined back then, in addition to the large-scale invasion of black, which wantonly destroyed the living environment of actors, was also due to the lack of good scripts. Those who can write scripts have gone to make movies, which has caused a large loss of screenwriter talent.

For example, well-known directors such as Wang Jing and Liu Guanwei were all screenwriters at the beginning, but later they all became directors.
