Chapter 184 is full of talents
As soon as Gu Weiqi sent away Keiko Matsusaka and Zhihui Meieko back to the film company, Zhao Yuzhi came over, saying that the "China Entertainment International Superstar Entertainment Agency" had been renovated, and the company had recruited a lot of people, and the artists and behind-the-scenes starring personnel of film, television and music companies were also counted, a total of more than 280 people.
Among them, film and television company artists include Lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong, Li Yuanfeng, Li Saifeng, Li Lizhen, Zhang Guorong, Liu Dehua, Liang Weihui, Liang Xiaolong, Li Lianjie, Yu Chenghui, etc., a total of 148 people, and behind-the-scenes personnel include Huang Bingyao, Yuan Hao, Zhang Shuping, Liu Zhenwei, Wang Jiawei, Dong Wei, Lin Lindong, Xu Xiaoming, Lai Xiaoqing, Liang Tian, etc., a total of 78 people.
The rest of the people are people from the music company, and in addition to the artists Anita Mui, Su Rui, Chen Huixian and Ye Qianwen, etc., the behind-the-scenes producers also include Huang Zhan, Zhong Jinghui, Wang Fuling, Lu Guanting, Li Xiaotian and others, it can be said that these three major companies are full of talents. And because Gu Weiqi has now developed the general trend, most people are willing to sign into the brokerage company.
After roughly browsing the list, Gu Weiqi groaned a little and told the beauty that since this is the case, it will officially open for operation tomorrow.
Regarding the company's operation and opening, Zhao Yuzhi discussed with Gu Weiqi for a while, and then left in a hurry to get busy.
As soon as Zhao Yuzhi left, Huang Bingyao came over and told him that the storyboard script of the "nightclub" had been made. He still attaches great importance to this movie, so he immediately asked Yang Xuanpan, Lin Zhenying and Chen Xunqi to discuss the roles and directors.
In the end, it was unanimously decided to let Liang Yonghui play the important role of "He Sanshui", and "Li Junwei" let He Yongjin play, after all, He Yongjin has a good appearance, so he can be given more opportunities to appear on camera. This can not only create some new stars to show Gu Weiqi's strength, but also attract more talents to join, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Needless to say, the role of "Tang Xiaolian" naturally let Zhong Chuhong play it. The rest of the "boss lady", "robber", "Zhu Liao", "police investigation", "tire" and others were made cameos by Ye Dexian, Xu Jinjiang, Liu Dehua, Li Xiuxian and He Jiajian respectively, so that the main actors were roughly set.
The candidate for the director is Huang Yongheng, who can be regarded as the veteran of the company, give him a little more opportunity to direct alone, focus on training, and it may not be impossible to become a big director in the future. After deciding on the candidates for actors and directors, he brought Huang Yongheng over and asked him to start forming a crew, and Gu Weiqi naturally didn't need to worry about the specific work.
The next day, that is, March 1, the "China Entertainment International Superstar Entertainment Agency" officially opened, and many people came to congratulate on that day. In addition to the artists of Gu Weiqi's film, music and television companies, many people like Shao's, Jiahe and Xinyicheng companies came to cheer, and various companies under Gu Weiqi's name also sent gifts such as plaques and flower baskets, which made a very big noise.
For a while, reporters from major media and newspapers were moved by the news and came to the scene to interview, which can be regarded as the fame of "China Entertainment International Superstar Entertainment Agency" in one fell swoop. After sending off for an interview with reporters, Zhao Yuzhi also introduced several main backbones of the company to Gu Weiqi, and what surprised him was that Ye Zhiming, Zhang Guozhong, Le Yiling and Zeng Lizhen, who were all in the original time and space, were all listed.
Needless to say, Le Yiling and Zeng Lizhen are the directors of the wireless artist department in the original time and space, and the latter are the directors of the TV production department, which are all talents. Otherwise, it will not be able to occupy a high position in wireless in the future. Zhao Yuzhi was originally quite familiar with working in wireless with them, but now the company lacks management talents and professional agents, so they are poached.
And Zhang Guozhong is in a parallel space, and has successively served as the agent of stars such as Zhou Yanfa, Liu Dehua, Wen Bixuan, Tan Yonglin, Yu Wenle, etc., and he definitely has the talent to be an agent. Of course, relatively speaking, what impressed Gu Weiqi the most was that Ye Zhiming was not just because he had a sister named Ye Yuqing, but because of his legendary life experience of several ups and downs.
Speaking of which, the Ye family used to be a famous family in Aomen, and they were quite wealthy. But as the saying goes, "rich but three generations", when he reached his father's generation, he declined, his family has eleven brothers and sisters, from a young age of brocade clothes and food, to later reduced to work to make money, for their own life and younger brothers and sisters to study, the sad gap can be imagined.
In 60 years, he used his savings and the last bit of his family's rain money to Saigon to start a yacht rental and sales business, and later began to make wigs and sell them to the United States, making millions of net worth in just a few years. After that, he started an oil business, but he was unlucky enough to encounter an oil crisis, and all the money he had earned after several years of hard work was lost.
In the 70s, he started a clothing business with 40,000 yuan, and within a few years, the company's assets expanded to an astonishing 1 billion yuan, and he became a billionaire in one fell swoop. In 76 years, he saw that the film industry in Xiangjiang began to flourish, so he founded the "Bangbang" film company.
In the first few years, several blockbuster movies were made, and the company's reputation in Xiangjiang also rose. But just two years ago, his film company was doing worse and worse. In order to increase the company's profits, he invested a lot of money to buy the copyright of more than 20 films in Taiwan, but as a layman, he later found out that Taiwan movies were not popular in Xiangjiang at all.
After all, the movies produced by Taiwan are generally literary films, and in Xiangjiang, where the pace of life is relatively fast, naturally very few audiences buy it. Even Shao's and Jiahe Cinema were reluctant to show him. However, Ye Zhiming's face is indeed big, and later it was said that he found Lei Juekun's Golden Princess Cinema screening. But as a result, he couldn't make any money after several films, and Tycoon Lei lost interest.
At this time, Ziye Zhiming is dumb and eats Coptis chinensis, and he can't say that he has bitterness. His company's liquidity is all thrown away, and he can't make any money, and even the capital chain of the parent company is in danger of breaking. In desperation, he made a desperate bet and rented the Shuangnan Cinema of the leftist film company to screen more than 20 films.
The results were disastrous, as we all know that in the early 80s, the relationship between the mainland and Taiwan was tense. In the original time and space, even in the mainland, he only filmed a "curtain to listen to politics" Liang Huihui, and after winning the title of "actor", he was also banned by the Taiwan authorities.
What's more, Ye Zhiming also took the purchased Taiwan movie to the leftist theater to screen it, and the result was naturally needless to say, it was immediately completely blocked by the Taiwan political axe that was known about the news. And not only the film company, but even the parent company was banned together. What's bad is that his company's products are all OEM. There was no supply, the capital chain was broken, and as a result, a company with assets of more than 1 billion collapsed in an instant. Even his former partners avoided him like a snake and scorpion for fear of being implicated by him.
Later, she was even more depressed, and her sister Ye Yuqing participated in the "Miss Asia" beauty pageant in 1985, and after winning the third runner-up, she filmed a lot of tertiary films. And before Gu Weiqi chose to cooperate with the mainland to make a film, the reason why he sold all the properties of Luo Jianan and Yan Qiudi in advance was because he had seen this person's experience on the Internet in his previous life, so he was most impressed by this person.
And after Ye Zhiming went bankrupt, because he couldn't raise money to start a business, and he was also in the age of not being confused, it was not easy to find a job. The most important thing is that he was blocked by Taiwan, and many people were afraid of getting too close to him and being implicated. After more than a year of decadence, I just heard about the big recruitment of "China Entertainment International Superstar Entertainment Agency", so I tried to apply, but I didn't expect to be successful.
Gu Weiqi will not invest in the industry in Taiwan in the future, so naturally there are not so many estimates. And Zhao Yuzhi has also heard of his experience, and also knows that this person is a talent, so he was also exceptionally promoted to make him the deputy manager, this position is not high, and it is not low. However, as long as he does it well, he still has a promising future in the company, after all, everyone knows that Gu Weiqi is rich now, especially for the entertainment industry, he has a keen sense of smell, all the songs he writes, the movies he shoots, and the scripts he writes, there is nothing that is not popular.
Gu Weiqi was very encouraged after getting to know the directors of various departments of "China Entertainment International Superstar Entertainment Agency". And asserts that as long as the business is good, the future brokerage company will be more profitable than simply opening a film and television company. Of course, many people don't realize this now, and it wasn't until many years later, when everyone looked back, that they suddenly realized that Boss Gu's prophecy was really true.
That evening, in order to celebrate the opening of the brokerage company, Gu Weiqi also held a grand dinner at Yushanfang International Restaurant.
After entering March, due to the continuous prosperity of the Hong Kong stock market and social economy, prices and wages have risen sharply, but housing prices have risen even faster. Gu Weiqi bought many villas last year, and if he sells them now, he can earn at least 20 percent. Because of this, in fact, the property market bubble in Hong Kong has taken shape, and the affordability rate of citizens to pay for buildings has reached 180%, which is equivalent to ordinary people using nearly double their income to pay for buildings.
On March 6, Etsuko Shiemi, who had already terminated her contract with "Kuroda International Pictures", returned to Xiangjiang. After Gu Weiqi received her, he tossed in the hotel for most of the night that night, and bought her a two-bedroom house the next day and gave it to her, settled her, and let her rest for two days before holding the launch ceremony of the "God of Gamblers" on March 8.
Before the launch ceremony, Gu Weiqi was surprised to find that Liu Zhenwei actually found Cangtian Baozhao to play the role of "Mr. Shangshan", and this role in the original version was played by actor Yasusho Kamura. But now it's not bad to be replaced by this action star.
In fact, Cangda Yasuaki was a famous actor in the original time and space of the action movie, and he was born in the city of Ibaraki. With real kung fu, the empty hand is the fifth dan of Dongliu, the third dan of judo, and the second dan of Aikido. In the 70s of the last century, he made many sets of Hong Kong-made martial arts films, and had rival scenes with martial arts stars such as Chen Guantai and Liang Xiaolong, and even knew Mandarin and Cantonese Lenglo.
And the more impressive role is the role of "Fumio Funakoshi" in the "Jingwu Hero" filmed by Chen Jiashang in 1994. In addition to Cangtian Baozhao, Gu Weiqi also found that the executive director Liu Zhenwei actually found Chen Jiashang, and when he asked, he learned that Chen had worked in the special effects department before, and seeing that his head was more flexible, he promoted him to be the executive director this time.
These two people gave Gu Weiqi a big surprise, needless to say, Cangtian Baozhao. The key is Chen Jiashang, this is a big bull, as far as he knows, this person joined the stunt team of a film company in 1980, began to work as a screenwriter in 83, and directed films since 88, the main works are "Truant Weilong" series, "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier", "Jingwu Hero", "Thunderbolt", "Mouse Falls in Love with Cat" and so on. also won the Best Screenwriter and Best Director at the Xiangjiang Academy Awards in 99 with the "Beast Detective", which can be said to be an all-rounder who can write and direct, especially the ability to use stunts to show the color of the picture is quite strong.
Gu Weiqi believes that with more and more talented people joining, his film company will be able to become the top production company in Asia and even the world in the future.
