Luo Weiming walked into the office and saw Zhang Aijia standing next to Shen Chong, leaning over to talk to him, the two of them were talking and laughing, and they seemed to be in a good mood, and they couldn't help but feel relieved. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Editor-in-Chief Luo, hello."

Luo Weiming nodded with a smile in response, and then said enthusiastically: "Ivia, it's better to meet by chance, last time you came here, you were busy doing body painting for our boss, and I don't want to bother, I should be free today, right?" Wait for a face and give us a chance to interview the magazine? ”

"Editor-in-Chief Luo, look at what you said, who is not proud to be interviewed by "Film Times" now." Zhang Aijia looked at Shen Chong with his eyes and said, "It's just that I'm just like you now, and I'm also a small employee under Boss Shen, and I can't make my own decisions in my words and deeds." ”

Luo Weiming reacted quickly and immediately asked, "So, Ivisa is also going to work here?" ”

"She doesn't work here." Shen Chong said: "Ivisa plans to open a film studio similar to director Hu Jinquan, Lao Luo, you are kind, come and help think of a name." ”

When Luo Weiming heard this, he was surprised and emotional.

The film production department of Oriental charm is divided into five levels, newcomers have just entered the industry, they can only be "production assistants", dealing with all kinds of errands, after the assistant comes out, he is a "junior producer", assisting the director in coordinating and handling various affairs in the process of film shooting, followed by "producer", dealing with all film affairs from the beginning of the script to the end of shooting, at this level, he can already be on an equal footing with the director, and then the "senior producer", handling all the affairs from the beginning of the script to the end of the release, This level is above the director, with the power to choose the director, actors, and the final editing of the film, and finally the "gold medal producer", at this level, it can no longer be regarded as an employee of Oriental Charm, but more like a partner, you can go out to open a studio or satellite company by yourself, rely on the resources and funds of Oriental Charm to make movies, and share the box office and Oriental Charm.

The gold medal producer system is similar to Golden Harvest's satellite company system, but the conditions of oriental charm are more generous, and the available resources are more, of course, the requirements for becoming a gold medal producer are also very strict, this system has been implemented since last year, only Hu Jinquan has his own film studio.

Hu Jinquan is one of the four famous directors in Hong Kong, who has been famous for more than ten years, has been famous for more than ten years, and has a global reputation, he is a gold medal producer, no one is unconvinced, Zhang Aijia is only twenty-five or sixteen, and a movie has not yet come out, so he can open his own studio, so how can Luo Weiming not sigh.

Sure enough, it's better to marry well than to do well......

"Boss, are you going to set me up?" Luo Weiming sighed with emotion and said with a smile: "With you, the number one talent in Hong Kong, how can it be my turn to choose a name." ”

"I've never had a talent for names." Shen Chong was helpless, joking with him, and said: "Lao Luo, don't be humble, help think of one, even if you don't think well, it can be regarded as throwing bricks and stones, maybe it can inspire me."

"Boss, spare me, this is your housework, how can I throw bricks." Luo Weiming resolutely did not come forward and said, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"Alright then, let's get down to business." Shen Chong turned his office chair, took out a folder from the cabinet in the back, handed it to him, and said: "This is the revised draft of the evaluation system for next year's Academy Awards, you take it back and see if there is anything that needs to be improved and perfected, and when Chen Baisheng comes back from the mainland, you will organize the preparatory committee." ”

"Preparing for the Academy Awards now?" Luo Weiming was a little surprised, he took the folder and said, "It's only June." ”

"I plan to put the annual Academy Awards in February in the future, April is too late, movies are pop culture, and if it drags on for too long, it won't be fresh." Shen Chong explained: "And under normal circumstances, February coincides with the Lunar New Year, and the festive days are more conducive to the publicity and ratings of the award ceremony. ”

"What about the Hong Kong International Film Festival in April? Doesn't it mean that the two should cooperate with each other? ”

"I tried it once this year, and Chen Baisheng found that the effect was not very good, because the previous international film festivals were very shabby, whether they were famous or not, whether they were large-scale or not, and put them together with the Academy Awards, it was like a toad and a white swan standing together, the audience's attention was all attracted by the Academy Awards, and the audience and media attention of the international film festival were very low, so it was better to do it separately, each doing its own thing, the Academy Awards focused on Chinese films, and the international film festival focused on independent films in Asia."

"That's fine." Luo Weiming pinched the folder in his hand and said, "Then I'll go down first." ”

"What are you in such a hurry?" Shen Chong glanced at him, took out an ashtray from the drawer, and said, "Are you addicted to smoking?" I can allow you to smoke a cigarette. ”

"It's not like smoking." Luo Weiming didn't take out the cigarette case, but said: "There is still something to do in the editorial department." ”

"This week's "Film Age" has already come out yesterday, and today is your most laid-back time, what can you do." Shen Chong flipped out another newspaper, pointed to the article on it, and asked, "Have you read this movie review?" Luo Yinquan, do you know each other? ”

Luo Weiming just stared at the newspaper and didn't answer.

"Back then, Wu Zetian read Luo Bingwang's essay and said that the prime minister was wrong and lost his talent, Lao Luo, the person who wrote this movie review is also a talent." Shen Chong knocked on the newspaper and said: ""Film Times" has been done for so long, how can such an excellent film critic go to "Ming Pao" to submit? ”

"I knew I couldn't escape your boss." Luo Weiming let out a long sigh in confusion, and then said with a broken and broken expression: "Boss Shen, thank you for your compliment, let me tell you the truth, this article was actually written by me." ”

Shen Chong was surprised, looked up at him, after talking about business just now, Zhang Aijia, who had been sitting quietly on the sofa and hidden, was also surprised, and asked with a smile: "Editor-in-chief Luo, the editor-in-chief of your dignified "Film Times", actually went to "Ming Pao" to publish a film review?" ”

Luo Weiming touched his hair awkwardly and smiled.

"Lao Luo, are you trying to change jobs?"

"Absolutely not." Luo Weiming hurriedly expressed his stance and said: "Boss Shen, I am loyal to you, and I have absolutely no intention of changing jobs." ”

Shen Chong saw that his expression was exaggerated, his heart was relieved, and he pretended to sneer: "Then you just eat inside and outside?" ”

"Don't say it so badly." Luo Weiming begged for mercy and said, "Boss, I did this because I had another hidden reason. "How?"

"On the day of the premiere of "Die Hard", I went to watch it with a few friends, and after watching it, when I went out for supper, they were quite critical of the boss, your screenwriting level, saying that it was too vulgar, no novelty, and only relied on money to pile up scenes, I have always disliked extreme and weird movies, so I refuted them at the time, to put it mildly, no one was convinced, and finally broke up unhappily." Luo Weiming took out the cigarette box again, and said while taking it out: "After I went home, I wrote this article according to the train of thought, "Film Times" is a publication owned by the boss, and I am the editor-in-chief. ”

"I see."

Shen Chong was thoughtful, last year he was devoted to the film industry, and he knew the ups and downs of the Hong Kong film industry very well, and in the past six months, he has spent too much energy and time on the industrial layout, coupled with the growth of wealth and status, which is a little ungrounded.

"Lao Luo." Shen Chong thought for a while before he said: "It has been almost a year and a half since I mentioned the New Wave of Hong Kong Films last year, and during this time, there have been a lot of innovative film works in Hong Kong, but there are also a lot of messy things. Everyone exchanged with each other, summed up experience, left the good ones and eliminated the bad ones, and it would be better if we could sum up a little systematic theory. ”

"Yes, yes." Luo Weiming lit a cigarette and said: "It's just that Hong Kong filmmakers are mainly pragmatic, don't like to study theories, it's okay to summarize some operational experience, it's rare to summarize creative experience, and there is no trade union in Hong Kong films, the whole industry is scattered, even if some good things are summarized, they may not be able to promote it." ”

Shen Chong was noncommittal to the trade union, he pointed to the article in the newspaper and said: "I read your article, it is well written, it is a good thing, it is a good match, it is a miracle win, the movie should be in line with the mainstream values of society, etc., it is very insightful, you can make a summary report at the seminar." ”

"I'm just talking about it, and it's meaningless." Luo Weiming took a puff of cigarette and said: "I am a film critic who is a monk halfway, and I review one or two movies alone, and what I can say is the truth, but if I want to make a systematic summary, I can't do it at all, the foundation is too thin, the vision is too low, I can't write something from a lofty position, and I will only make people laugh if I go to make a summary report." ”

"Then who do you think can write it?" Shen Chong asked, "How is Shi Qi?" ”

"I see that he is also hanging, he is the same as me, he is also half-toned, and so is Shu Qi." Luo Weiming vetoed three of Hong Kong's most famous film critics in a row, and then said: "Boss, if you want me to talk about it, you really want to make a summary report." ”

"Me?" Shen Chong pointed to himself and said, "I haven't even written a movie review." ”

"Boss, your modest expression is too fake." Luo Weiming had a cigarette and immediately recovered his original demeanor, he said with a smile: "Before you developed last year, the article published in the "Film Fortnightly" was recognized as the guiding article of the new wave of Hong Kong films, and you are now a big boss, the leader of the Hong Kong film industry, with identity and appeal, this summary report, you can write it, it is most suitable." ”

"I'll think again."

Shen Chong actually wanted to do this summary report, but he wasn't sure if he had time to write it, so before Luo Weiming left, he asked again: "Old Luo, what does your pen name mean?" ”

"Some people say that I am Boss Shen, your eagle dog, so I used a homonym."

Shen Chong laughed.
