Chapter 088 Preparation Platinum Award
After Gu Weiqi asked Fang Lingwei to call Karen Blanca and a few others, he said slowly: "A few beauties, first of all, I want to welcome everyone to join Oriental Hollywood International Film Company. But I'm calling you here today because I'm busy with work here and need a few personal assistants, so I want you to be my work assistants for the time being. I don't know what a few people think? ”
The four women looked at each other, they thought that Gu Weiqi asked them to tell them what role they were going to play, but they didn't expect it to be completely different from what they thought. can't help but hesitate, after all, from the moment they first started participating in the competition, they had the idea of joining the entertainment industry. But thinking about it again, if you want to act in a movie in the future, are you afraid that you won't have a chance?
Therefore, the four girls thought about it a little, and they all agreed.
Gu Weiqi was overjoyed, having these four people as his personal assistants could at least greatly reduce Fang Lingwei's work pressure. However, the specific work to be arranged for the four girls needs to be considered. First of all, he wrote about all his companies, including Hong Kong, the mainland and abroad.
Needless to say, most of Gu Weiqi's main industries are currently in Xiangjiang. However, with the continuous increase in investment, there are more and more foreign industries, mainly including "Novelty International Publishing House", "Great Wisdom Toy Factory" in Europe and the United States, "Oriental Mythology International Film" in the United States, "Tang Dynasty Automobile" in Germany, "Tang Dynasty Animation Company" in Japan, "Yamada Comics Co., Ltd.", "Songqi International Pictures" and so on.
Several beauties didn't expect Gu Weiqi to have so many industries, and they couldn't help but be surprised when they saw the dozens of companies he wrote about.
Gu Weiqi sorted out the various companies and decided to let Gina Leon be responsible for the development trends of various foreign companies; Shen Yingrong is responsible for the development of various branches in Taiwan; Weng Yuanling and Karen Blanca are responsible for the local business in Hong Kong, of which the former is subdivided into four main industries: clothing and footwear, Tang Dynasty daily chemicals, supermarkets, and Yushanfang International Restaurant. The latter was responsible for Tang Dynasty bicycles, Tang Dynasty air conditioners, televisions, logistics, foreign trade, etc.
Fang Lingwei continues to be in charge of Gu Weiqi's core industries: Comic Club, Magazine, Phoenix TV, Newspaper, Legend of Nature, Blueprint Industrial, Exotic Toys, Film Company, Distribution Company and Video Cassette Distribution Company. As for Yanlong Development Bank, Tang Dynasty Fund, and Blueprint Digital High-tech Research and Development Institution, the three companies are the top priority, and Luo Jianan, Yan Qiudi, and Chai Yuqi are directly responsible to Gu Weiqi.
In this way, the division of labor is clear, which greatly improves work efficiency.
After arranging the work, Gu Weiqi asked Fang Lingwei to hand over the work to the girls, so he didn't have to worry about the specifics, just grasp the general direction of the development of each company at a critical moment. However, as soon as it was arranged, Xu Anhua called from his side, saying that Zhong Chuhong had promised to meet with him, at half past 17 in the afternoon, at Yushanfang International Restaurant.
Gu Weiqi was overjoyed, as far as he knew, Zhong Chuhong was known as "the most beautiful Miss Xiangjiang", nicknamed "Marilyn Monroe" in Xiangjiang, and it must be a pleasure to be able to meet each other. However, he had just hung up the phone, and Zhou Liang Shuyi called again and asked him if he was free, saying that he wanted to discuss with him about the preparations for the Xiangjiang Film Platinum Award.
This is a grand event in the Hong Kong film industry, and Gu Weiqi feels that it must not be held hastily, otherwise it will be meaningless. His original intention was to promote the development of the Hong Kong film industry and expand the influence of Hong Kong films in the world entertainment and cultural circles, so he should naturally be cautious. It seems that he still needs to personally preside over the overall situation, otherwise he will not be at ease.
Therefore, he put down his work and asked the other party to come over and have a detailed chat. Of course, in order to listen to a wide range of opinions, he also convened the heads of various departments of the company.
After everyone came to the conference room, Gu Weiqi said straight to the point: "The main purpose of holding this meeting for you today is to discuss all the matters of the Xiangjiang Film Platinum Awards event that we are going to hold next. Mr. Zhou Liang, you are the person directly in charge of this event, let's talk about your thoughts first. ”
"My general idea is this, first of all, I think there should be an award preparatory committee first, and there can be a chairman who is responsible for coordinating the overall situation, and multiple clerks who are responsible for screening out the good films released in Hong Kong every year. It is then scored by the jury, and the one with the highest score will naturally win the prize. ”
"I kind of understand what you mean. But I think this is a bit too niche, let's make it bigger. ”
Gu Weiqi said sonorously: "If we want to make the Platinum Award of Xiangjiang Film the most eye-catching event in the Chinese entertainment industry, first of all, our vision cannot be limited to Xiangjiang movies. You must know that in the mainland, Taiwan also releases a lot of good movies every year. Therefore, I think that mainland and Taiwanese films should also be included in the selection. What do you think? ”
"Mr. Gu's proposal is very good."
Uncle Zhang commented: "Although the film industry in Xiangjiang has developed rapidly in recent years. But in fact, there are not very many good films released every year. And if you just select our local movies in Xiangjiang, it's too petty. If we want to make the 'Platinum Award' the most important award in the Chinese entertainment industry, we must be bold! ”
Lin Zhenying interjected: "I think the top priority is to get a preparatory committee first, design the trophy first, and get out the details of the rules and regulations required for the film first." ”
"Not bad."
Chen Xunqi nodded approvingly, and continued: "As for the candidates for the preparatory committee, you can invite some film critics and old filmmakers to participate, such as Su Qi, the editor-in-chief of the 'Film Fortnightly', Cao Dahua, filmmakers who love acting careers, are all relatively good candidates. ”
When Lin Zhenying and Chen Xunqi spoke, everyone expressed their opinions and enthusiastically expressed their opinions. After a morning of discussions, one thing was finally decided, that is, to get the preparatory committee up first. Zhou Liang Shuyi has been in the entertainment industry for a long time and has a wide range of contacts, so she is naturally responsible for the preparatory committee, and there is no need for Gu Weiqi to worry about it.
However, after a morning meeting, everyone had a dry mouth, and Gu Weiqi invited everyone to a banquet at the "Jade Kitchen International Restaurant" at noon. During the dinner, he asked about the release of Lin Zhenying's "Mr. Zombie", and the latter told him that the film has been released for 25 days and has received more than 26 million box office.
In addition, "Mr. Phantom" and "Happy Ghost" were also completed a few days ago, and even "Happy Ghost" has been edited and dubbed. It is now being advertised on television, in magazines and in newspapers. Wait until "Mr. Zombie" paints it, and then you can go to the top.
After eating, Gu Weiqi then held a meeting with everyone in the afternoon, mainly to discuss with everyone the next new film to be filmed by the company. After all, the company has recruited a lot of people, so we can't let everyone be idle and not play. As soon as everyone heard that a new drama was going to be filmed, they all immediately came to their senses.
Huang Bingyao had already recruited seven or eight screenwriters to get the storyboards of the three scripts that Gu Weiqi gave him. Therefore, at the meeting, dozens of copies of the three scripts were distributed to everyone in turn. After everyone watched it, they felt that whether it was "The Little Dragon of the Good Boy", or "The Five Lucky Stars of the Clever Scheme" and "The Prison Lock Raptor" were very interesting.
Just kidding, the script was made up by Gu Weiqi, can it not be done?
"These are the three new dramas that our company will shoot next." Gu Weiqi looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "How is it?" Not bad, right? ”
Gao Zhisen exclaimed: "Very good, I think it's very interesting, Mr. Gu." ”
"So 'Good Boy: Little Dragon Out of the Mountain' will be handed over to you to direct Asen, what do you think?"
"Leave it to me to direct?" Gao Zhimori was overjoyed, you must know that although he has been in the industry for several years, he has never really directed a film.
"That's right, it's up to you to direct."
Gu Weiqi nodded, and continued: "This movie can be made into a series, and there is absolutely no problem in making more than ten or twenty films as the signature movies of our 'Oriental Hollywood International Film Company'." But since you haven't officially directed the film yet, let Liu Zhenwei be your producer. Zhen Viagra is no problem, right? ”
"No problem." Liu Zhenwei nodded.
"That's good, the starring words made Gu Tianle good, last time I went to visit the class, I found that this little actor is quite clever. As for the words of the 'Five Lucky Stars', it is ......"
Gu Weiqi swept around in front of everyone, scratched his head, and finally fell on Lin Lindong's face, and muttered: "It's up to you, Brother Dong, to direct." However, in view of the fact that this film is a major investment of the company, it is up to Brother Qi to work hard and serve as the producer of this film. ”
"Okay." Chen Xunqi nodded briskly and said.
"Brother Cai, Brother Wei, you two follow me to direct 'Prison Lock Raptor', and I will personally star in this film. No problem, right? ”
Lan Naicai and Wang Jiawei glanced at each other, and both nodded and said, "No problem." ”
"That's good, do you have anything to say about the company's next three new films?"
The crowd shook their heads and said no.
Gu Weiqi stood up and said, "Then the meeting is dismissed." ”
Everyone walked out of the conference room and started to get busy. However, it will definitely take a while to officially start filming, after all, it takes a lot of time to find actors and find suitable venues. Of course, there is no need for Gu Weiqi to worry about the details, after all, there are two executive vice presidents, Lin Zhenying and Chen Xunqi, who manage the company.
But as soon as he walked out of the conference room, Fang Lingwei reminded: "Archie, there is still half an hour before the time you agreed to meet Zhong Chuhong." ”
"Oh, is it? You didn't remind me, I almost forgot. Gu Weiqi looked at the watch on his wrist, and it was really about to arrive, so he walked out of the company and drove over.
