Chapter Fifty-Seven: Reflections of the East City
Lu Yan's actions did surprise Liu Weiqiang, but he only thought that Lu Yan was in urgent need of help now.
"Yan Zai, since you want to open a film production company. We also need to recruit some people, such as accountants! Scene notes and the like......" Liu Weiqiang thought about it: "According to your idea, for the time being, you will be the director to make a film, right?" In this way, there can be less manpower. But if you want to be bigger, you really have to dig up some capable people. ”
Lu Yan nodded, took the script of "The True Color of Heroes" and handed it over: "En! This is our company's first work, and it looks like we're going to have a lot of fun. ”
Being able to invite Liu Weiqiang to join, Lu Yan was still a little happy. After all, Liu Weiqiang is the so-called potential stock in his eyes. If you train well, you will be the main force of your company in the future.
Regarding the script, Liu Weiqiang also took a rough look and said: "Shootout movie! We can ask for a few assistant directors or something, but the martial arts instructor I suggest that it is best to sign an excellent one! ”
"I've already been chosen, don't worry!" Lu Yan didn't say the name of the candidate in his mind, after all, this kind of thing will wait until it is officially determined.
"Good! Start with a shell company, and then slowly grow bigger. Liu Weiqiang is also an ambitious person, and Lu Yan just let him seize the opportunity.
The two hit it off and began to work hard for the company.
The new company was founded by Lu Yan and invested capital. The boss and production manager are all named by him, while Liu Weiqiang hangs up the personal personnel manager and the window of external contact.
After officially registering the company, Lu Yan chose the address of the company's office building in 'Wutai Mountain'.
The reason why it was chosen on Broadcasting Road (Wutai Mountain) is because it is home to Radio Television Hong Kong, Commercial Radio, Asia Television and TVB. The original Jiayi TV station was also here, but it later went out of business.
Lu Yan has his own vision and strategy in the selection of the company's location, mainly because in the future, TVB will soon become the 'Shaolin Temple' of the Hong Kong entertainment industry. When the time comes, the shooting of some of his movies will be much more convenient in the scheduling of actors. It also saves those artists from rushing back and forth, resulting in not being able to devote themselves to acting.
And in case there is a lack of some props or anything in the shooting, he can borrow them from these TV stations in the most timely manner.
After the office building was rented, it immediately entered a period of intense renovation.
Lu Yan eventually named his first film production company 'Dongcheng Images'. The meaning is the movie city of the East, and the logo is not complicated. It's a hovering green dragon, so that everyone can remember it when they see it.
With the completion of the comprehensive renovation of the office building, Lu Yan has also begun to invite all parties. In fact, although he has been in the Hong Kong film industry for a short time and has low qualifications, he has a good network.
is now in the golden age of Hong Kong films, so Lu Yan is also more able to understand the open and secret battles inside. But don't think that you can enter the film industry with a lot of money, and the Tao in it can't be explained in a few words. Otherwise, those big studios can spend their own money to start a film company, why do they need to find some directors and production companies separately for investment!
Even an established film company like Shaw Brothers couldn't resist the fierce competition and began to gradually stop production! Not to mention many bosses who are bent on entering the film market, most of them have spent money on waste.
And even if it is Lu Yan, many people look at his company as uncertain. After all, the owner of a film company needs to have excellent connections in the circle. What's more, Lu Yan wants to be a director himself, which requires fame. But Lu Yan is completely new in this regard.
For the opening of the company, Lu Yan and Liu Weiqiang decided to choose January 1, when the Spring Festival was approaching. It means that everything starts from scratch, and both parties are also mobilizing contacts to invite guests.
Don't think it's just a formality, it's more about showing your status and connections in the circle. At that time, it will have a good effect on inviting actors and other actors to shoot.
For Lu Yan's establishment of a film production company, those friends who are not far away came to cheer.
A large part of the reason is that he came to see the face of Lu Yan's deed master, Cao Dahua. Although Mr. Cao flew to the United States to celebrate the New Year with his children some time ago, Guan Dexing and his old friends took great care of Lu Yan.
"Yan Zai, don't look at us as a little shabby today. At the beginning, Xinyicheng also came over like this. Liu Weiqiang smiled and said to Lu Yan.
The company's office building is indeed a little smaller, but this is not enough to make Lu Yan feel embarrassed. It's just getting started, and he's confident he'll grow the company bigger and bigger.
may be because of Lu Yanji's appetite for Xu Guanjie later, this singer was the first to come to the stage with his brothers.
Although Lu Yan and Xinyicheng were completely broken, Tsui Hark still brought his wife Shi Nansheng to come. This is what he promised a long time ago, and it is also a statement.
Although Huang Baiming was unable to come for many reasons, he still sent someone to send a flower basket.
Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and others, who had only had a one-sided relationship with Lu Yan, also appeared today. Not for anything else, just because they think that Lu Yan, a young boy, is worth making friends!
Followed by Zhong Zhentao, Mi Xue and others, as well as Zhong Chuhong, all came to cheer. Especially Zhong Chuhong, seeing Lu Yan, couldn't help but blush. The events of that day obviously made her feel a little embarrassed to face Lu Yan.
"Shhh Yan Zai, tell me how to dig up Cheng Xiaodong. ”
Not only Liu Weiqiang, but also Tsui Hark and others didn't expect Lu Yan to be able to dig up TVB's first-line martial arts instructors.
Cheng Xiaodong, who was standing next to Lu Yan, explained by himself: "Boss Lu said that as long as I come to 'Dongcheng Image', I may become the premier martial arts instructor in Hong Kong!" ”
Lu Yan smiled and waved his hand: "Brother Xiaodong, these three words of Boss Lu are too blunt!" Everyone will be friends and partners in the future! ”
In fact, Cheng Xiaodong's words are true and false, but Lu Yan really let go of the big words to make him the premier martial arts instructor in Hong Kong!
In fact, there are only four high-level executives of the 'Dongcheng Image' present today.
Lu Yan, Liu Weiqiang, Christopher Du and Cheng Xiaodong, many of the people in the plan are in the difficult 'digging corner'.
But Christopher Doyle was very excited behind the camera, although he won the best cinematography at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival, but he did not meet some talents in the film industry. I received an invitation from Liu Weiqiang some time ago, so I immediately nodded and agreed.
At this time, he is working hard to shoot the opening image of 'Dongcheng Image'. Although he didn't know why Lu Yan arranged it this way, he still implemented it meticulously.
Although the whole day made Lu Yan busy and dizzy, he was very happy.
His own film company has finally been established!
