Just when Chen Xuanting felt that he had almost drunk, a coquettish voice said, "Boss Chen, can you also have a drink with me?" "When I looked at that person, it was the original wireless beauty Liang Xiaoice.

"Of course, how, now?" Chen Xuanting raised his glass and laughed with Liang Xiaoice.

"How's that? You're my boss, don't you know how your employees live? Liang Xiaoice glanced at him with coquettish beautiful eyes.

Chen Xuanting smiled slightly: "According to what you say, shouldn't I do my best in every job?" Hehe! ”

"You just don't care about me."

"Why, I'm very good to the staff." Chen Xuanting said with a smile.

"Then why don't you answer when I call you so much?"

"Calling?" Chen Xuanting remembered that after he developed, that Liang Xiaoice had made an appointment with him several times, but at that time he had no feelings for Liang Xiaoice, besides, there was nothing specific between the two, he didn't want to get into such trouble, so he didn't contact her again.

"Ahem, maybe my secretary made a mistake!" Chen Xuanting had no choice but to make excuses.

"Okay, don't lie to anyone." Liang Xiaoice said, "I know what you think in your heart, and I don't dare to ask for anything, I just hope that you can still treat me as a friend!" ”

Faced with Liang Xiaoice's such a straightforward expression, Chen Xuanting was startled and immediately said, "I'm sorry, I thought too much." Yes, we will always be friends! ”

At that moment, Liang Xiaoice smiled, and Chen Xuanting also smiled.

Maybe a lot of misunderstandings and a lot of tangled things are gone in this laughter!

After Lei Yaoyang's wedding was held, Chen Xuanting also returned to the company directly by car, recalling the happy appearance of Lei Yaoyang and Cai Shaofen in the wedding banquet, Chen Xuanting was also happy. But immediately he remembered the envious eyes of Li Jiaxin, Qiu Shuzhen, and Li Ruotong, and Chen Xuanting felt anxious.

Now I also want to start a family, but it's a pity that I am riddled with work, and it seems that I will never be busy.

Rubbing his sore temples, Chen Xuanting exhaled a breath of wine. Call the female secretary to bring a cup of ginseng tea. Then Chen Xuanting made another call to the director team of the film and television production department and asked all the senior executives to have a meeting in the large conference room.

After about ten minutes, Chen Xuanting drank the ginseng tea and felt that the wine was almost sober, so he beckoned the secretary to prepare the required documents, and he sorted out his clothes and rushed to the conference room.

When Chen Xuanting rushed to the small conference room, several senior executives and directors of Thunder Entertainment were all in place.

Stephen Chow, Ren Dahua, Ma Weihao, Zhang Daming, as well as the big directors To Qifeng, Wang Jing, as well as Mai Dangxiong and Tsui Hark, etc., in addition to some new directors trained by Thunder, when they saw Chen Xuanting come in, they all looked happy, and the old monster Tsui Hark asked with a smile: "Boss Chen, gather a few of us today, what important things do you want to order?" Could it be that you want to fund us to play? Although Tsui Hark is known for being "weird", and he and Chen Xuanting also have a deep friendship, on formal occasions, he still has to be called Chen Xuanting "boss". What's more, Chen Xuanting's status is not what it used to be.

"Sit down, everybody, we'll talk about it later." Seeing that several people all stood up from their chairs, a little nervous and full of excitement, Chen Xuanting suppressed his gesture and motioned for everyone to sit down.

"Although I know that everyone is very tired, but we can't lose our work, an entertainment company, the work is its lifeline, is the soul, and the work of our film and television production department depends on everyone here, Director Xu is right, I think after this period of training, each of you has the ability to read and direct an international drama, so I hope each of you can come up with a specific plan before the year......"

"An international drama? Wouldn't that be able to enter Hollywood like director John Woo? ”

"I finally waited for such an opportunity, and the nest in Hong Kong will never grow up!"

"Wow Ka Ka, the boss is going to spend blood to hold our movie this time!"

…… Everyone thought excitedly.

Seeing everyone's happy appearance, Chen Xuanting was also very happy, and continued to smile: "Our Thunder Entertainment's investment method is like this, we have no seniority, and there are no rules and regulations, as long as the plan you come up with can be approved at the meeting of our film and television production department, I will invest in filming your film, ask for money for money, ask for people to give people, you just let me invite Tom Cruise to you as the leading actor, I will try my best to satisfy you, provided that your script is good enough to attract him to join your crew." ”

As soon as Chen Xuanting said this, everyone here almost exploded, they have been floating in society for so many years, just hoping that one day they can fulfill their dream of being proud of Hollywood.

You must know that since John Woo entered Hollywood to shoot "Changing Face" and "Operation Broken Arrow", for Johnny To, Wang Jing, and Mai Dangxiong, it has undoubtedly become an incentive to stimulate their nerves.

John Woo can, why can't I?! What is the purpose of learning the art of directing? In order to be able to stand out one day and shoot your best works that are recognized by the world!

We have talent, passion, and dreams, but what we lack is an opportunity, and now, this opportunity has finally smashed in front of us gorgeously, how can we hold it?

"Really? Boss Chen? Are you ready to invest in making us into Hollywood? A touch of excitement appeared on the fat man Wang Jing's face, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

"Of course it's true, do you think I'm joking?" Chen Xuanting smiled: "If you have a good script and a good idea, I can start your filming plan immediately." How much money, I support it! ”

"Over the years, I have buried myself in writing a lot of scripts," Johnny To said: "But if I am asked to come up with a film to enter Hollywood at once, I don't know which one to come up with, the palms and backs of my hands are full of meat, so, Boss Chen, can you give me a little time to sort it out?" I'm sure I'm sure I'll impress my colleagues in the film and television production department. "Yes, yes, Boss Chen, I also have a lot of good goods on hand, this time I will definitely take out the treasure at the bottom of the box, and strive to pass the review once the surname is passed, and I will be able to play in the spring next year." Mai Dangxiong smiled and said, "Boss Chen, let me say something, you really gave me a second life." ”

Tsui Hark said with a smile: "I said Mai Dangxiong, what you are best at is the theme of male thieves and female prostitutes, such Hollywood is not out of stock, it is better to give us the opportunity, and save Boss Chen from losing money!" ”

"Pick, I'm a male thief and a female prostitute, what are you good at? Isn't it just a kung fu movie? It's a pity that other ghosts like to watch Bruce Lee's real kung fu, not your kind of Huang Feihong who flies around! ”

"What do you say? How could a ghost guy not like it? I make a kung fu movie that will make them watch "Superman"! Tsui Hark pouted dissatisfiedly.

The fat man Wang Jing persuaded him: "One of you don't say a word, didn't Boss Chen say it, as long as the script is good, he will invest!" For example, I will definitely pass the script I write, and I am confident! It can be seen that the boss is my Bole, come, everyone applaud and thank Boss Chen! ”

"Fatty, you've been running in the crew for so long, and you're good at making sycophants, why don't you say that Boss Chen is your second parent." Tsui Hark laughed.

The fat man Wang Jing pursed his lips and said, "I'm not a sycophant, Director Xu, you touch your conscience and tell me, if Boss Chen doesn't give us such a good opportunity, how long will we have to hang out in Hong Kong before we can get out?" Hong Kong movies are already a little weak, how many of us will be able to eat this meal in the future? How many Hong Kong directors can continue to be glorious in the future? Not to mention fame and fortune. So we have to know gratitude. ”

Tsui Hark clasped his hands into fists and said, "Mr. Wang Jing, as soon as I said that, you actually bombarded me with a cannon!" Who said I don't know how grateful I am, I don't know how grateful I am to Boss Chen, without his help, I Xu Lao Wei would not have the money to invest in whatever he wants to shoot! Think about it before, although we are also big-name directors, but when we meet the producer, we don't have to stammer, how can it be like now, as long as there is a good script and a good plan, how much money is needed, what actors do you want, and there is such a strong backing as Thunder Entertainment, just under this condition, if I can't make a good show, then I will buy a piece of tofu and kill it. ”

To Qifeng couldn't help laughing when he saw them arguing, one old and one young, frankly speaking, being able to come to Thunder Entertainment was the most correct and greatest decision for several of them in their lives, and when their works swept the awards at major film festivals in the future, they all sighed how lucky they were to join Thunder Entertainment.

Chen Xuanting waved his hand and smiled: "Okay, don't put a high hat on me, Thunder Entertainment needs your talent more, if you are really grateful to me, then do your best to make the best work, then it will be considered as a reward for me." ”

Tsui Hark said: "The work is fine, we are waiting for this day, but I have a problem. ”

Chen Xuanting said: "What's the problem? ”

Tsui Hark said: "I want to ask if the work you are talking about is a TV drama work or a film work?" Is there a limit to the quantity? Is there a limit to the subject matter? Is there a limit to the amount of investment?"

As soon as Tsui Hark asked, several other people immediately looked at Chen Xuanting with blank eyes, because these questions were also the ones they were most concerned about.

Chen Xuanting smiled and said: "TV doesn't have to be, after all, Hollywood is not short of these, so the task of a few of you is movies, of course, if you have a good TV series plan, I will not object." The subject matter is not limited, of course, you also have to weigh the vision of Hollywood, if you make a race movie or a tertiary film, then don't want to release it in Hollywood, so the subject matter is not limited is also relative, I believe you understand what I mean. There is no upper limit to the amount of investment, if you can make a movie like that, I will give you 100 million US dollars, and there is no upper limit on the quantity, we are not afraid that you have many works, but we are afraid that you have no works, of course, the premise is that this work must be a high-quality product, and we will never shoot bad movies. Finally, I would like to advise you that when conceiving a work, you can't be too utilitarian, you can't only stare at the box office, and the director who only has the box office in your eyes may often have no box office, you just need to follow your own principles of artistic creation and make the best work plan. We don't want to follow the trend, although following the trend is a common phenomenon in the film and television industry, we Thunder Entertainment don't do this kind of thing, what we want to do is to lead the market trend and guide the audience's aesthetic trend, instead of picking up garbage behind other people's butts. I'm all right, right? ”

"No problem, no problem," Tsui Hark exclaimed, "Don't worry, as long as you don't tie our hands and feet, we guarantee that you will be satisfied." ”

Chen Xuanting said with a smile: "If artistic creation cannot guarantee freedom, then it will never produce great works, in our Thunder Entertainment, there is no political constraints, there is no seniority, only art, if you can really make a good work, even if it can't be released in Hollywood, I will find a way to make you famous overseas, so please rest assured of this." ”

"Yay! Long live the boss! For an artist who yearns for the freedom of his soul, what could be more comforting than meeting a boss like Chen Xuanting?

Seeing the fanatical creative enthusiasm on the faces of several Hong Kong directors, Chen Xuanting also has a different kind of satisfaction in his heart, and it is not a very pleasant thing to be able to help others realize their dreams?

Now that Thunder Pictures Entertainment Company is financially powerful, for Chen Xuanting, although they have created market myths in Hong Kong and Asia in recent years, if there is no continuous endurance, then it may become a short-lived meteor in the highly competitive entertainment industry.

In addition, Hong Kong, a small place, can no longer satisfy Chen Xuanting's ambitions, and his development of Hollywood has never been interrupted, and now, with strong funds, it is also he who announced to the world that the Chinese film power has officially risen in the world film industry!

Of course, allowing these big-name directors to enter Hollywood en masse now will have a certain degree of impact on the Hong Kong film market. After all, so many big directors have left Hong Kong, what will happen to Hong Kong movies? But Chen Xuanting is not worried, although there are no so-called big-name directors in Hong Kong, it has made room and opportunities for a new generation of directors.

Originally, there were big names such as John Woo, Johnny To, and Tsui Hark, and it was difficult for many young directors to get ahead. But those so-called big-name directors are all accumulated with one good work after another, even if there is no famous director in Hong Kong in the future, but Chen Xuanting is confident that through his own efforts, he can re-cultivate a group of excellent directors, first-class scripts, first-class actors, first-class post-production, first-class marketing, and a lot of investment.

Chen Xuanting feels that as the leader of the Hong Kong Film Alliance, Thunder Pictures Entertainment Company must take on the important task of cultivating new gold medal directors, such as Pang Haoxiang, Mak Zhaohui, Zhuang Wenqiang, who are now interning at Thunder, and Peng Shun brothers, who are good at shooting ghost movies in the future, etc. So now he has to make a lot of efforts to cultivate these newcomers and old people, give them opportunities respectively, let them read and direct, it doesn't matter if they fail, Thunder Entertainment has endured several failures, and the most important thing is to give them the opportunity to exercise, just as a good sniper is fed with bullets, a good director is also fed with film, if they are not given a chance, they are not allowed to make mistakes, then they will never be able to spread their wings and fly high.

Three days later, Tsui Hark and several others took their own scripts and asked Chen Xuanting to convene a review meeting of the film and television production department to review and review whether their works could be passed.

Of course, Chen Xuanting agreed to their request, not only summoned the executives of various departments of the company to the conference room, but even the company's contracted actors, after all, no matter how good the work is, it still has to be performed by the actors, and sometimes the advice they give is the most feasible surname.

Because of the large number of participants, the Review Conference was held in the Large Conference Room.

Huang Huangzhan, director of the record division of the music production department, Li Zongsheng, director of the overseas branch of the music production department, Huang Baiming, director of the marketing department, Ma Weihao, director of the artist management department, and Stephen Chow and Ren Dahua, directors of the film and television production department, all attended the meeting, and more important actors from companies such as Leslie Cheung, Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Liu Qingyun, Wu Zhenyu, Huang Qiusheng and other companies also attended.

Zhang Daming was responsible for putting each director's plan and script in front of everyone, and then returned to the position next to Chen Xuanting and sat down. So far, he is not only the minister of the logistics department, but also one of the closest and most trusted people around Chen Xuanting, sometimes he can even communicate directly with Chen Xuanting on many things, and put forward his own unique opinions, similar to military strategists and the like, and is very competent for this role, plus the work at hand, it seems that it is indeed busy, but as the so-called capable person works hard, Chen Xuanting let him hold such an important position, isn't it because he trusts him? You must know that being able to be the most trusted person around the Son of Heaven is a position that everyone yearns for, although the official position is not high, but he is a real confidant, so Zhang Daming's status in Thunder Entertainment is no worse than those department directors, and sometimes it is even greater in terms of deterrence, after all, you can make arrows with chicken feathers.

Fortunately, now that the company is on the track, there are relatively few affairs that need Chen Xuanting to intervene personally, so Zhang Daming does not have to serve Chen Xuanting all the time, otherwise he really can't take care of both.
