After interviewing four or five people, Shen Chong made his mistake -- he didn't make it clear which industry experience the secretary he was looking for -- so the people recommended by the talent agency were all candidates with knowledge of foreign trade agency.

And Shen Chong wanted to find a secretary - or assistant - in order to prepare for the filming of "Crazy Robbery", after all, he was just a pseudo-filmmaker on paper, and he needed an assistant with experience in film or TV shooting to help with chores.

With an idea, Shen Chong immediately set his sights on TVB, which is the Whampoa Military Academy in the Hong Kong film industry, and it should not be difficult to dig up one or two talents.

took out the phone book, Cai Jiguang, Gao Zhisen, Tang Jiming...... All the friends who are mixed in TVB, Shen Chong dialed a phone number and asked them to help inquire and see if any of the colleagues wanted to change jobs, preferably female.

Because "Crazy Robbery" is the work of a female director and a female screenwriter, Shen Chong feels that finding a female assistant is beneficial to the communication between both parties.

Cai Jiguang and Tang Jiming are now both well-known writers and directors of TVB, they are in a good situation, and they promised to help inquire, while Gao Zhisen is still a basic screenwriter in TVB, he wants to change the environment, and he has a little self-recommendation on the phone, but Shen Chong simply pinched off his thoughts, this guy should stay in TVB, there are many opportunities over there, he can hone his experience, and this side is all chores, but there are not many resources for him to practice, and it is a waste to be an assistant.

Putting down the phone, Shen Chong put aside the matter of recruiting assistants, touched his chin, and began to think about the idea of going to the "Film Fortnightly" to attend the shareholders' meeting in the afternoon.

I had already communicated with Shu Qi before, and the acquisition of the magazine was basically no problem, and the price was easy to say, so let Shen Chong attend the shareholders' meeting, just to ask him to explain how he planned the future of the magazine after the acquisition.

Taking out a pencil, Shen Chong drew four boxes on the paper in front of him, and then filled in different contents for each.

The first box is filled in with "Matrix Technology Co., Ltd.", and then filled in the note: the current cash cow, the future production and sales platform for movie peripheral products.

In the second box, Shen Chong filled in the name of "Shen's Technology Investment Co., Ltd.", which was registered before he went to the United States in order to invest in the registered Visica1c, and the annotation reads: Gold absorber qì, as much as possible to attract gold.

In the third box, Shen Chong filled in the "Oriental Charm Film Production Company", which he registered years ago, and then also filled in the note: the flagship and core of the Future Film Group.

In the fourth box, Shen Chong wrote the name of "Film Power Co., Ltd.", which was also registered a year ago, and the annotation reads: Drivers and motivations of the film industry.

These are the four basic sectoral frameworks in Shen Chong's future plans.

The first department is currently operating in good condition, and it is making money every day. In Shen Chong's plan, this department will be responsible for film peripheral products in the future, such as toys, props, comics, game adaptations, etc., and even videotapes, Vcd, dVd and other products, will also be through this department, and the follow-up profits of movies are the bulk of profits and must be paid attention to.

The second division currently has only one Visica1c, which is still open. Shen Chong plans to use this department to invest in various money-making industries and raise funds for building a film empire.

The third department is still an empty shell, and only initialed the filming contract for "Crazy Robbery", Xu Anhua has been running to recruit crew members in recent days, and when she is ready, she can start work. The production company is the core division of the Future Film Group, and there is nothing to question about it.

The fourth department is currently poor and white, with nothing, but this department is the one that Shen Chong cares about the most, and it is also the department that consumes the most effort and money in the plan.

In Shen Chong's plan, this department needs at least a bank to provide financing for film production, a high-tech group to open digital film technology, a television station with a wide coverage to escort films, an authoritative film award to guide the film industry, and a high-level film academy to cultivate fresh blood......

In Shen Chong's plan, this department has at least 2o sub-departments, which are complicated and complicated, and without more than ten years of water grinding work and billions of funds, it is impossible to set up this department.

But in the future, let's talk about it in the future, what Shen Chong wants to do at present is to come up with an authoritative film magazine under this department, which will be used to subtly influence the Hong Kong film industry.

Or two books......

With the current vague positioning and wavering style of "Film Fortnightly", it is difficult to get the favor of the market, if it can't be sold, there will be no influence, and without influence, there will be no authority, and what Shen Chong needs most is authority, only when the magazine has status, he can use the media attributes of the magazine to influence the industry's exhibition.

Therefore, Shen Chong planned to divide "Film Fortnightly" into two magazines with different positions.

One is a weekly magazine, oriented to the general public, focusing on film information and industry trends, supplemented by popular film reviews, full-color printing on double-offset paper, and taking the fashion entertainment route, similar to the hybrid of "Watching Movies" + "Variety".

The other is a monthly magazine, aimed at industry insiders and high-end film lovers, focusing on professional film criticism, supplemented by lectures on film art and technical knowledge, similar to the authoritative film review journal in North America, the Film Association of Lincoln Center in New York published "Film Review".

Weekly magazines are used to gather ordinary movie lovers, and when the number of subscriptions reaches a certain level, it will produce a qualitative change and have the attribute of "authority".

Shen Chong does not rely on it to make money, he even plans to deliver it for free, the so-called desireless is rigid, in doing so, he can abandon the interference of all commercial factors, and use high-end luxury words such as "neutral, professional, and tasteful" as labels, wantonly criticizing those inferior movies, and encircling and suppressing shoddy garbage movies from public opinion.

After the two magazines have the attribute of "authority", the golden little beauty, the Hong Kong Film Awards, is Shen Chong's bag, and with the Academy Awards, he will grasp the vane of the Hong Kong film industry, so as to better manipulate and promote the industry exhibition.

A film award can't be too niche, otherwise it will easily become a self-entertaining game in a small circle, and you will know the end when you look at the Hong Kong Film Awards thirty years later, so where is the professional film award...... It is simply a big dinner for local filmmakers in Hong Kong, sitting in rows, sharing fruits, and their influence is declining.

Shen Chong split the "Film Fortnightly", also with this consideration, using the weekly magazine to collect the votes of ordinary movie audiences, using the monthly magazine to collect the votes of professionals, and then designing an algorithm to calculate the weights as a whole, so as to achieve both elegance and vulgarity, so as to ensure the authority of the final selection results of the awards, and to make the Academy Awards the highest honor in the Chinese film industry - Shen Chong doesn't want to be a niche award in Hong Kong, if you want to do it, you naturally have to be the biggest and best!

……

"Next, please invite our big financier, Shen Chong, Young Master Shen, to talk about the future plan for the magazine after the acquisition!"

In the afternoon, in the cramped office of "Film Fortnightly", Chen Baisheng presided over the shareholders' meeting, he casually said a few clichés as the opening remarks, and then introduced Shen Chong in a very flamboyant tone.

Shen Chong stood up and looked around the room, seven or eight shareholders were sitting or standing, some holding water glasses, some smoking cigarettes, all of them didn't say a word, and looked at him quietly.

After coughing lightly, Shen Chong began to speak at length.

"The French film master Truffaut once said that there are two kinds of directors, some directors will think of the public in their hearts, and some directors will not consider the public at all, for the former, film is a kind of performance art; For the latter, the film is a personal adventure, and there is no difference between the two in essence, only the difference in routes......"

"I think that being a magazine is the same as being a director, and there are two kinds, one is to target the public and do what ordinary people like to see, and the other is to take the individual as the main body and focus on personal taste......

"So I'm going to divide the magazine into two after acquiring it, one for the weekly and the other for the monthly......"

Shen Chong picked up a piece of white paper, nailed it to the wooden door of the cubicle with a thumbtack, and then took a pen and wrote out the outline of the plan as he spoke, so that everyone could think about it.

"My ultimate goal is to create the most extensive and authoritative magazine in the Chinese film industry!" Shen Chong ended his speech with a very contagious sentence, then put away his pen and said: "The above is my plan for the future operation of the magazine, if you have any opinions, you can put them forward now." ”

Shen Chong's big plan made everyone in the magazine collectively speechless, and after half a ring, Chen Baisheng took the lead in standing up and applauded: "Ah Chong, I am more and more suspicious that you are going to rob the bank, you have a lot of money!" ”

He walked to the wooden door, looked at the slanted handwriting on the white paper, and said: "You gave us a big surprise, I thought you bought the magazine, we have better benefits at most, and more office resources, but I didn't expect that you would come up with such a big plan." ”

"Ah Chong is so courageous!" Shu Qi also stood over, with a look of admiration, he said: "I never dreamed of such a plan, the pattern is very large, just looking at it makes people's hearts surge." ”

The editors also had a lot of discussions, and after discussing for about half an hour, they finally decided to transfer the magazine to Shen Chong at the original price.

Since there is no need for a premium, Shen Chong is also happy to save money, and happily signed a share transfer contract with everyone.

After a qiē was done, Shu Qi stood up and said, "Everyone, everyone, let me say a few words." When I started the film biweekly, the conditions were insufficient, and I reluctantly became the editor-in-chief, but now that the magazine is on the right track, I decided to resign from the position of editor-in-chief. ”

Shen Chong was quite surprised when he heard this, Shu Qi's organizational ability was exactly what he was currently lacking, how could he let it go, he was busy saying something to keep him, but Shu Qi preemptively said: "Ah Chong, you don't need to persuade me, I have limited energy, Jiahe and the magazine are running at both ends, it is difficult to take care of it, after the establishment of "Film Fortnightly", Bai Sheng is basically taking care of it, and I, the editor-in-chief, should have stepped down a long time ago." ”

Shen Chong had to persuade again, and Shu Qi said again: "Ah Chong, you also know that I have been helping Yan Hao write the script recently, and I really lack skills, and I have always wanted to make movies, and I will definitely show in the direction of the director in the future, even if I stay here in the magazine, I am still in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and I can't do it." ”

Shen Chong saw Shu Qi's resolute attitude, so he stopped persuading, left Shu Qi with the title of honorary editor-in-chief, and then appointed Chen Baisheng to take over as editor-in-chief.

The acquisition of shares was only the first step, and then how to reorganize the magazine, how to distribute the editors, as well as such issues as the treatment of editors, the recruitment of new reporters, the printing and distribution of new magazines, and so on, Shen Chong and the others discussed until seven or eight o'clock in the night, and then ended the meeting under the pressure of hunger.

found a good restaurant near Wan Chai, Shen Chong invited guests, it was the first dinner after the acquisition, after eating and drinking, everyone said that they would go back to the office to continue the discussion.

"Oops, guys, I'm sorry." Shen Chong didn't want to have an all-night meeting with a group of gentlemen, Sister Yuan Yuan, who was warm and fragrant in nephrite, was the favorite, he hugged his fists, lied with a shy face, and said: "I asked my girlfriend to watch a movie together tonight, and let's continue tomorrow, otherwise the Hedong lion roars, everyone will have to go to the hospital to accompany me to the meeting." ”

Everyone laughed for a while, and after a few words of ridicule, they all dispersed understandingly.

Before Shu Qi left, he handed Shen Chong a bag and said, "Ah Chong, this is the first draft of the script I wrote for Yan Hao, you can help me take a look." ”

"I haven't written a script, how can I understand it." Shen Chong shirked.

It's not that he doesn't want to read it, first, he's been too busy lately to have time, and secondly, he doesn't dare to read it -- according to his obsessive-compulsive nature of pursuing perfection, after reading it, he will definitely be tempted to revise it.

In the Internet era, high-definition movie video resources are everywhere, as a movie controller, Shen Chong can boast of Haikou, no one has watched more movies than him in this era.

If you haven't eaten pork, can you still see a pig run? If you watch too many movies, your taste will naturally rise, and Shen Chong has also seen a lot of miscellaneous movie textbooks, it is foreseeable that if you read the script, you will definitely be changed beyond recognition by him, not to mention whether this will hurt Shu Qi's self-esteem, the key is that he doesn't know much about the current Hong Kong pop culture, with his aesthetics and thinking logic from the future, the changed script may not be popular with the market, if the box office fails, won't it affect the future of Shu Qi and Yan Hao......

Shen Chong changed the script of "Crazy Robbery", and only dared to change some logical flaws, as for the story line and character image, Shen Chong only put forward opinions, and let Chen Yunwen do the specific changes, he didn't dare to interfere.

"Don't be modest, I heard Sister Chen say, the first time I read the script, half an hour, I pointed out the problems in the book, and gave an excellent suggestion, Sister Chen has always been unconvinced, and I admire you very much." Shu Qi insisted on handing the bag to Shen Chong, and said: "I used to write scripts with others, but this is the first time I have written it alone, and I am a little weak-hearted. ”

"Okay, I'll just read it, learn to learn, and when I have the opportunity in the future, I will also write a script." Shen Chong was helpless, and took the bag of Wen Jiàn, "Brother Shuqi, if you are free, come to the magazine to help me." ”

"If you don't say that I will, I founded the magazine single-handedly, just like my own children, how can I say that I will let go." Shu Qi patted Shen Chong's shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go quickly, don't make your girlfriend wait for a long time." ”

"Okay, goodbye." Shen Chong called a taxi and waved goodbye to Shu Qi.
