Chapter Eighty-Eight: Recruitment

What is the credibility of Yangcheng Publishing House with other writers? Xiao Cheng didn't know, but he believed in his words. On February 28, the royalties arrived as scheduled, which made Xiao Cheng breathe a sigh of relief and started his long-planned plan.

First of all, Qian Lekang, after Xiao Cheng and his in-depth discussion, he signed an agreement with Qian Lekang on a joint-stock cooperation company, Xiao Cheng invested 20 million, occupying 65% of the shares of the new company, and then asked Qian Lekang to buy the latest processor, and arranged for the people and equipment of the Beijing studio to be transported to Yangcheng.

Secondly, about Ji Qingyue's condition, Xiao Cheng gave Fu Chao and Wang Kunpeng a task, asking the two of them to search the world for folk remedies for the treatment of stomach cancer, and then screen out useful information and do their best to treat Ji Qingyue.

The third is the official start of the plan of the superstar factory of Texhong Music Hong Kong Branch, and the investment amount has been increased to 30 million, and the recruitment of professional managers of the Hong Kong Island Branch has begun.

In the end, he called Ji Xingyue and explained his plan to expand Rainbow, and asked her to find a new office building in Yangcheng, which must be larger. Although Ji Xingyue complained, she thought that Rainbow would have a leap forward, so she immediately did so.

After finishing all this, Xiao Cheng began to pay attention to the crew of "Spider-Man".

Sam Raimi, the director of "Spider-Man" in his previous life, took 15 months from the beginning of filming to the release of the film, and the cumulative time of the initial shooting alone was more than 240 minutes, while the playing time of the "Spider-Man" film was only more than 2 hours, and the waste of film can be imagined. Coupled with the post-production of computer special effects, film editing, film soundtrack, etc., it took 15 months to be quite fast.

But Xiao Cheng is Zhao Zilong's son - copy, Sam Raimi's painstaking idea, he just needs to copy it. He knew the difficulties he would encounter during the filming of the film, and made most of the preparations in advance.

For example, the scene of fighting in the fighting arena, such as the large-scale group performance in Times Square. The most difficult part of these films was easily solved by Xiao Cheng.

Therefore, on March 2, 2001, with director Bai Fan's 'click, OK', the last set of shots of "Spider-Man" was completed. The filming time took less than two months, and the cumulative time of the scene was only 110 minutes.

Xiao Cheng announced the completion of "Spider-Man", and held a celebration banquet in the hotel in the evening to reward the crew for their hard work during this time.

That night, Xiao Cheng took Ji Qingyue and Liu Rumeng, who was still staying in the magic capital, to attend the finale banquet. The crew of "Spider-Man" is a rare real relaxation, everyone drinks heartily, laughs and scolds.

Director Bai Fan, photographer Meng Kai and three young leading actors got together, and the five of them were all students in school, so it was inevitable that they had some common topics. This is the first time they've officially made a movie, and it seems like it's over before they find much of a feeling? It made 5 people feel quite melancholy.

Bai Fan put down his usual director's shelf and said: "I heard Xiao Cheng say that there are two movies behind "Spider-Man", and when Chu Mingxiong was chosen as the starring role, he took into account the filming of the next two movies. ”

Chu Mingxiong was stunned, then thought for a while and said, "Director Bai, what you said is true, doesn't that mean that we will have a chance to cooperate in the future?" ”

Meng Kai said: "If the first part of "Spider-Man" is successful, the boss of the second part will definitely make it again, and I am afraid that the results of the film will come out." ”

Tang Tiantian said: "Director Bai's control of the whole movie is almost perfect, all the difficult factors are considered in advance, and handled just right, I think this movie will definitely be popular." ”

Bai Fan's face was full of smiles, but in his heart he understood his role in it. To put it mildly, during the filming of the entire "Spider-Man" movie, he was like an executive director, and almost all of his ideas came from Xiao Cheng.

But Bai Fan couldn't deny that Xiao Cheng's whimsical ideas were indeed not something he could compare, and Bai Fan also learned a lot from them and benefited a lot.

Everyone in the crew toasted Xiao Cheng one after another, although the work was very hard during the filming of the movie, Xiao Cheng took care of all aspects of the crew. These people have mixed up with a lot of crews, even Lin Pingjiang, who is the oldest in the rivers and lakes, has to give Xiao Cheng a thumbs up in his heart, he is indeed a good person.

The enthusiasm of the crew made Xiao Cheng feel unbearable, even if it was a small glass of beer, it was enough for so many people to rush up. finally messed around, and Xiao Cheng was also a little drunk.

Xiao Cheng, who was a little drunk, felt that he couldn't wait any longer, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to speak clearly, so he stood up and said, "Everyone be quiet for a while, and listen to me." ”

The crew slowly quieted down, and Xiao Cheng said: "First of all, I thank you very much for your efforts during this time, I have seen your efforts." So, I have news for everyone. ”

Speaking of this, a smell of wine rushed up, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but burp, and the crew all let out a good-natured laugh.

Xiao Cheng was not embarrassed at all, and continued: "This year, I plan to expand the scale of Rainbow Music Entertainment Co., Ltd. and divide it into Rainbow Music Company, Rainbow Film and Television Company, Rainbow Computer Special Effects Studio, and Superstar Factory, a branch of Rainbow Island. Now the plan has been officially launched, I hope you can join Rainbow, become a part of Rainbow Film and Television, your treatment will be 30% higher than now, interested in coming to me tomorrow. ”

Xiao Cheng's announcement made the crew cheer loudly, mixed wild roads and entering a regular film and television company are two different concepts, drought and flood protection have an incomparable attraction to these wandering people in the entertainment industry.

The most excited are Lin Pingjiang and Huo Chuan, both of whom are not young, and they have been in the entertainment industry for many years, so they can be said to be well-informed. They can't look down on small film and television companies, and some large film and television companies are a radish and a pit, and they can't squeeze in.

Now there was a big pie smashed on their heads, and both of them were a little dizzy. Xiao Cheng's character has absolutely nothing to say, such an opportunity is hard to come by! They couldn't wait to step forward and ask, "Boss, what you said is true?" Can we join Rainbow as well? ”

Xiao Cheng deliberately said with a straight face: "What? You two are the targets of my recruitment, and you still want to escape? ”

Lin Pingjiang and Huo Chuan were overjoyed when they heard this, and they were busy saying that it was absolutely impossible.

Xiao Cheng said: "Director Huo, tomorrow you will compile a list of people who are willing to join Rainbow Film and Television for me, and their current salaries and benefits will be recorded." ”

Huo Chuan was like being beaten with chicken blood, and rushed to the crew on the spot, found a pen and paper for them to register. Bai Fan and Meng Kai took advantage of their status privileges and signed their names first.

Chu Mingxiong, Tang Tiantian, Bin Tianxiang, Zhuo Jun, Bao Zhenguo and Chen Yu discussed for a while, and also gathered around Xiao Cheng, and Chu Mingxiong, who was most familiar with Xiao Cheng, said: "Boss, is Rainbow Film and Television recruiting contracted actors?" ”

After experiencing the Yan Li incident, Xiao Cheng has always been wary in his heart, and he will not take people who are not familiar with him lightly, unless that person's talent is unique, just like Nadia.

After two months of getting along with these 6 people, Xiao Cheng has made their conduct clear, Chu Mingxiong, Tang Tiantian, Zhuo Jun and Chen Yu can be used to make the sequel to "Spider-Man" in the future, Bin Tianxiang and Bao Zhenguo are both old actors, and their gestures are all dramas, Xiao Cheng is now short of manpower, how can he let it go?

Xiao Cheng smiled and said, "Your contract is different from theirs, so you need the company's lawyer to draw up a special contract for you." Relax and play for a few days first, and when the work here in the magic capital is finished, if you are interested, you can go to Yangcheng with me. ”

The 6 people are overjoyed, it seems that Bai Fan said that there are two sequels behind "Spider-Man", I'm afraid it's not groundless.

After the commotion, Liu Rumeng asked Xiao Cheng in a low voice: "What you said before doesn't count." ”

Xiao Cheng smiled knowingly: "What I said to Sister Meng will always be valid." ”

In the remaining two or three days, the entire crew was still busy. The finishing work of the crew is still quite cumbersome, and the rented vehicles, houses, and studios need to be dealt with. But at this time, everyone was full of energy, and the contract signed in black and white was lying in the suitcase safely, and the heart was steady!

Xiao Cheng and the other crews almost finished their work, and called Ji Xingyue to ask her about buying a house.

Ji Xingyue said that she had contacted the owner of an 11-story building nearby, which was very suitable as an office space, and the area was large enough to accommodate the three branches of Rainbow, but the other party offered a very high price, and it was willing to change hands for 70 million, which was 20% higher than the market price.

Xiao Cheng said conclusively: "Don't worry about the problem of funds, try to keep the price down, if it really doesn't work, just buy it, don't be afraid to spend more money, the house will be settled within two days." ”

When Ji Xingyue informed Xiao Cheng that the matter of the house had been settled, Xiao Cheng asked Huo Chuan to start arranging for the crew to fly to Yangcheng in batches. At the same time, Qian Lekang also called from Beijing to report his work.

Qian Lekang's actions were fast, and as soon as the contract with Xiao Cheng was signed, he immediately contacted the seller of the processor and ordered a full set of equipment. Then he said hello to Xiao Cheng, and returned directly to the capital to pull the people and equipment of the studio to Yangcheng, and now they are all ready, asking Xiao Cheng if he can go south to Yangcheng.

Xiao Cheng said: "What are you still rubbing!" Hurry up and fly to Yangcheng, there is still a lot of work over there! ”
