Chapter 120: Ye Zhiming joins the gang
Ye Zhiming stood silently in front of a building in Kowloon Tong, he failed again, even if he cooperated with the famous Yuan Heping, he couldn't bring Bin Bin back to life.
"Buddha Palm Arhat Boxing", a joint venture between Binbin and Heping Company, has been released in Golden Princess Theaters for a week, and the box office has only reached 810,000. Although it is not very popular for many movies in Hong Kong, it can be regarded as bad news for him. According to this score, it will be released for another week at most, and then the movie will be drawn in its entirety.
This movie will not be able to recover the investment in this city, and as for the income from other cities, Ye Zhiming estimates that it will not be much, and it will have to wait for several months to receive the money.
I'm really not a piece of material for making movies!
Looking at the gray-white building in front of him, Ye Zhiming laughed self-deprecatingly and walked in. went straight to the door of an office on the third floor, and Ye Zhiming looked up and saw a big silver signboard "Xuanyuan Film Company".
"Sir, is there anything I can do to help you?" A delicate little girl at the front desk asked.
"Well, I already made an appointment with Mr. Li yesterday." Ye Zhiming nodded in response.
"Oh, you are Mr. Ye, Mr. Li is already waiting for you, please follow me." The little girl at the front desk stretched out her right hand slightly, and led the way into the company in front.
Li Xuan was sitting in the office reading some scripts sent by the down-and-out editor, he had hardly done anything serious since the company opened, in addition to the company's small reputation, but also because Li Xuan was busy working outside almost all day. Today, because I had time to meet with Ye Zhiming in the company, I took care of some official business by the way.
However, Li Xuan casually threw another script into the trash.
"It's another kung fu comedy script, why is "The King of Killers" so popular, and so many people write kung fu comedies, is it because the cost of making this kind of film is lower?" Li Xuan shook his head and sighed secretly: "The cost is low, but it's easier to hit the street." Kung fu comedy, no Chenglong and Hong Jingbao can't be played. ”
After lamenting the difficulties of kung fu comedy, Li Xuan stretched out his hand to the next script.
"Red, White and Blue"? Why such a strange name?
Li Xuan took a look at the outline and threw the script directly into the trash. It turned out to be an art film script! This is something that rich people play, and Li Xuan thinks that he can't afford to play with this thing.
"Knock knock—"
Li Xuan was just about to read the next script when a knock on the door interrupted his action.
"Please come in!"
Li Xuan said in a loud voice, at this time, the only one who can knock on the door so politely is the little sister Li Li at the front desk
"Click"
The door of the office was twisted open, and Li Xuan saw Ye Zhiming following Li Li at a glance. It seems that Ye Zhiming attaches great importance to today's meeting, and he also made a rare special appearance and changed into a neat suit.
"Brother Ye, you're finally here!" Li Xuan stood up and said with a happy face.
"If you don't come, you can't do it......" Ye Zhiming said quite self-deprecatingly: "If I don't come again, I will have to sell the house" Although Ye Zhiming said quite self-deprecatingly, he still walked to Li Xuan's desk and stretched out his right hand.
"Haha, Brother Ye is really joking." Li Xuan shook it back, gestured to his mount and said, "Please sit." Then he turned his head to Li Li, who had not left yet, and said, "Xiaoli, go pour two cups of tea and come in." ”
Seeing Li Li turn around and leave, Li Xuan also sat down and said to Ye Zhiming: "Brother Ye, forgive me, the company's grass creation is still very simple, and now we can only use tea to entertain distinguished guests." ”
"I'm a distinguished guest, and I'm just begging for food." Ye Zhiming waved his hand, looked at the empty office outside and continued: "But Brother Li's simplicity is not wrong. ”
Xuanyuan Company is really very simple at this time, because several contracted actors Wu Zhi don't have to work here to work on the clock, so there are only five people in the entire company, plus Li Xuan, who are either at the front desk or doing chores.
"Haha, that's why I need a talent like Brother Ye." Li Xuan smiled and asked slowly, "How is it, has Brother Ye thought about it?" ”
"Do you need to think about it?" Ye Zhiming replied with a wry smile: "The last straw that crushed the camel is already on my body. ”
"Don't worry, since Brother Ye is here, you won't be the dying camel." Li Xuan said confidently.
"Haha, that's good!" Ye Zhiming also raised his head and smiled: "I am also confident, Brother Li's company is very lively in April, and I envy many filmmakers." It's also an honor for me to join. ”
"Then I'm here to welcome Brother Ye to join, welcome!" Li Xuan stood up from the chair again and stretched out his right hand.
"Thank you, boss!" Ye Zhiming also stood up and stretched out his right hand, shook it back, and said heartily.
Now that Ye Zhiming's joining was confirmed, after the two chatted freely, Li Xuan took Ye Zhiming and several people in the company to get to know each other, and took Ye Zhiming to his office for a turn.
Standing in Ye Zhiming's slightly empty office, the two quietly looked at the street outside the window. Li Xuan heard Ye Zhiming suddenly sigh: "Although the company is small, it is vibrant!" ”
Li Xuan next to him suddenly smiled, which company is not like this, it is full of vitality when it makes money. When it collapses like the colorful fashion company, it will be lifeless.
But you can't say that......
"That's right, Brother Ye, your complexion looks much better now than when you first came, congratulations on your rebirth." Li Xuan looked at the rejuvenated man in front of him and said.
"I can't talk about new students, I can only say that I have a different way of living." Ye Zhiming said with a smile: "However, since you have handed over the management of the company to me, you can't interfere too much." ”
Li Xuan nodded and responded: "Don't worry, even if you recruit troops, I will not interfere in internal affairs." But I'm going to have to use my own people, treasurer. ”
"That's nature!" Ye Zhiming nodded and replied: "Even me, I will not hand over the company's finances to outsiders." ”
The company's finances, Li Xuan naturally will not hand them over to others. Although Zhong Chuhong has been teaching herself financial management, Li Xuan doesn't want her to go into battle in person and waste her acting talent.
It happened that Zhong Ermei graduated from middle school and was not admitted to university, so Li Xuan pulled her into the company, and Zhong Chuhong took time to guide her to manage her finances first. Fortunately, the company's current expenditure account is still very simple, and it is just a step by step for her to learn.
And the local box office accounts of "Mr. Zombie" and "The King of Killers" have arrived, with a total of 5.5 million. Li Xuan didn't keep a penny, and put it all into the company's account and attached it to the company's accounts. Li Xuan only left 500,000 yuan of the Taiwan box office dividend of "Mr. Zombie" in his hand for his own emergency.
After the company's capital accounts are done, it is time to start recruiting talents. At this time, it reflects the company's benefits of Ye Zhiming, a senior management talent, and with him, many trivial matters do not need to be done by Li Xuan himself.
And Li Xuan plunged headlong into the post-production room of "Black Man". This movie, Li Xuan has been scheduled to be released in late June with Golden Harvest, starting the first shot in the summer of 1980.
So, now we have to hurry up and make the film.
