Chapter 15: The Old Fox
Zhang Heng didn't know that the outside world had been completely boiled because of him, when he passed the song last night, he tried the headset microphone several times, and always felt that the quality of the song was average.
Although he is not a professional singer, as the general manager of an entertainment media company, Zhang Heng has rich combat experience in the industry, and he naturally has a certain degree of identification of whether a song is excellent or not.
This time, "Red Beans" was chosen because of Zhang Heng's preference, and secondly, because the song is a song that is widely circulated in China and even throughout Asia, with many covers and has been well received by the public. The choice of "Empty City" is because it is good enough, and the singing style is unique, I have tried "Impulsive Punishment", Zhang Hate is confident that he can control it, and "Empty City" also laid the foundation for the powerful singer status of grassroots singer Yang Kun in his previous life, and it is Yang Kun's most widely circulated masterpiece.
The two are popular and enduring songs in the previous life, and Zhang Heng can compose the tune with his eyes closed.
After uploading, turn off the computer, Zhang Heng, who was a little tired, washed up, returned to the bedroom, buried his head in the sleep, and slept until noon the next day.
The continuous high-intensity busyness in the past few days has made him extremely depressed, and this long sleep has refreshed him.
The weather was beautiful and the autumn leaves were yellow, and when Zhang Heng was washing, he sent a text message to Ye Hui, the agent of the Actors Association, asking for the actor's audition information. After finishing up, the backpack walked out of the Bauhinia community, and after having breakfast in the breakfast shop, Zhang Heng walked on the road under the light spots revealed by the branches.
He began to think about the preparation of "Never Expected", which was the first directing work after rebirth, and Zhang Heng had to shoot it in perfect condition.
First of all, it is natural to rent shooting equipment, and then to recruit short-term photographers and lighting engineers, etc., the most important sound effects and editors for funny miniseries, Zhang Heng decided to recruit with blood.
He remembered Zhao Xingliang, chairman of Yinggu Film and Television, who promised to lend equipment for free to himself. The corners of Zhang Heng's mouth curled, whether it was true or not, he had to give it a try. So he took out the prepared business card of Zhao Xingliang and dialed it directly according to the office phone.
After connecting, Zhang Heng explained his intentions, but he didn't expect the other party to refuse directly: "I'm sorry, sir, you need to make an appointment." ”
Until he hung up the phone, Zhang Heng was still in a stunned situation, make an appointment?
Sure enough, it's a big company.
Zhang Heng smiled bitterly. However, a nobody like himself will probably have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to make an appointment.
Zhang Heng shook his head, flipped out the address book, stared at Guo Si's name, and dialed it without thinking.
"Yo, Zhang Heng, it's only been one night, why do you want to call me?"
Zhang Heng listened to Guo Si's teasing and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a noisy voice in the earpiece, and from time to time there were footsteps and phone ringing, which seemed extremely busy, Zhang Heng wondered: "At work?" ”
"Yes, there was an emergency, the company's next batch of orders Xiali Company was robbed, saying that it was going to hand over the order to others, tsk, now the entire company's employees are working overtime, trying to develop new business. I'm just crazy, the business is in deficit, my year-end performance estimate is gone, maybe your sister and my job will be lost! ”
Guo Si is the executive vice president of a multinational electronics development and manufacturing enterprise, the company's signature name is Nokeya, as soon as the products are put into the market, they are beautiful, fashionable, durable, and novel in the whole Greater China sales volume, comparable to the old electronics company Xiali.
In the industry, Guo Si has the title of "Resolute and Resolute Little Dragon Girl", she was originally just a public relations manager under Nokoya, and later after capacity development, management training, and business became more refined. In the first two years, he was sent to the Greater China region by the headquarters to gild, and after being promoted to vice president, he was even more beautiful.
She has a deep background in the Chinese royal family, with an annual salary of one million, is an excellent senior management talent, and is young and promising, and I don't know how many large companies in the industry have run olive branches to her. She said that her job was not secure, but it was just a joke.
Zhang Heng touched his nose, he couldn't help this kind of thing, after all, it was an untouched electronic field, maybe he could advertise for Nokoa for free?
Shaking his head and laughing for a while, Zhang Heng opened his mouth to say what he meant.
"Do you really want to make a movie?" Guo Siwei didn't want to persuade directly: "One mind can't be used for two purposes, Zhang Heng, it's best to focus on your studies first." ”
"It's just a miniseries, it doesn't cost much money, and after the failure of Flowers on the Tree, I won't make the same mistake again."
Zhang Heng smiled bitterly in his heart, his thinking quickly expanded, and he smiled: "And Sister Guo Si, it's not that I don't study, I just want to use what I have learned to practice, and strive to become a teacher as soon as possible." Aren't you in a job of security? Then I should make a lot of money as soon as possible, open a company, buy a BMW, and strive to recruit your old man, respectfully, only you copy other people's shares, others dare to fire you, I should not be the first one! ”
Zhang Heng has something to say, but the speaker has intention, and the listener has no intention, and the current Zhang Heng, in the eyes of others, is just a penniless hairy boy.
"Poor mouth!"
Guo Si was amused, "Dare to say big things!" Let your dad know that you're going to cut you! ”
As soon as Zhang Heng heard that there was a play, he immediately began to increase his horsepower, and the skills that he had lived for more than 30 years in his previous life were brought into play, and all kinds of clever words came one after another.
The charm of the thirty-year-old uncle's conversation is irresistible, and after several rounds of rhetoric, Guo Si is young after all, he can't resist the offensive, he can't breathe with laughter, and he has to say helplessly: "Just this time, don't take it as an example, you wait first, I'll call Zhao Xingliang." ”
It's done! Zhang Heng suddenly smiled: "Eh, okay, thank you, you are my sister!" ”
Hanging up the phone, Zhang Heng walked into a café, drinking coffee, while waiting for Zhao Xingliang's call, crossing Erlang's legs, his fingers tapping on the desktop, without the slightest calmness, a hanger's appearance.
The Guo family offers Aunt Zhou, a great god, which can be said to be convenient everywhere!
Zhang Heng sighed.
After a while, the phone rang, Zhang Heng picked it up, and asked knowingly, "Hey, which one?" ”
"Hey, it's me, Zhao Xingliang, Yinggu Film and Television, hey, yes, yes!" Zhao Xingliang laughed, and said in a Taiwanese accent: "Little brother is really a noble person who forgets things, hehe, I heard the little county lord say that you are looking for me?" Ouch, it's all Xiao Chen who is ignorant, he is my assistant, I have already ordered him, little brother, your call must be answered, who knows that he is making his own decisions! Hehe, I've already reprimanded him, don't be weird, brother, don't be weird! ”
Zhang Heng smiled, this old boy has a lot of shelves, but who lets himself ask for help?
Zhang Heng tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, and said politely: "Where, where, I took the liberty to bother." ”
After a pause, Zhang Heng continued: "That's the case, Zhao Dong, I have a mini script in my hand, and it's about to start filming, no, thinking about Zhao Dong, what about you, you see, is there any idle camera qì material, I want to rent a few." ”
Mini-scripts?
Zhao Xingliang was very surprised, and he was slightly contemptuous in his heart, he knew that not long ago, Zhang Heng borrowed five million from his subordinates to make a movie, and it turned out that Zhang Heng's talent as a director was not qualified enough, and he made a bad movie that lost money.
Thinking so, on the surface, Zhao Xingliang still smiled and said: "This is a trivial matter, not to mention that there is equipment, even if there is none, I have to borrow a few units from you, brother, right?" Hehe, leave this matter to me, when the filming starts, just call me, yes, yes, yes, oh, private, private! ”
"Then thank you Zhao Dong! I will definitely lease at the market price and will not let you suffer! Zhang Heng's words were festive, but his face was very calm, this old boy, if Guo Si hadn't called him personally, he might not even be able to see him.
"Dude! That's not right for you to say that, I promised you that all kinds of equipment, lighting, and scenery used in this shooting will be free for you to use! Zhao Xingliang had a strong Taiwanese accent and kept blaming.
He really didn't like the money.
can let the Guo family come forward several times to ask for help, Zhao Xingliang has a bottom in his heart about the relationship between Zhang Heng and the Guo family, which is not ordinary!
This is a potential relationship, if Zhao Xingliang is in trouble in the future, there is a relationship with the royal family, these are all potential interest chains.
After several excuses, in the end, Zhang Heng was no longer hypocritical. It's just that he has lived for more than 30 years, and he has never seen any face, and he clearly knows that the reason why he can let the other party take care of him like this is just that between the two parties, there is a not very stable chain of interests of the Guo family.
Thinking of this, Zhang Heng no longer hesitated, and asked directly: "Dong Zhao, Yinggu should have signed a contract with a photographer, editor or some scene notes, right?" ”
This is a naked digging wall, every film and television company will sign some personnel around the studio, and some contracts clearly stipulate that employees can only work for the contracted company on a fixed basis, and cannot take private work.
Thanks to Zhang Heng being just a person, if it were other company personnel, Zhao Xingliang would probably have scolded him a long time ago.
"There is! But ......"
Zhao Xingliang scolded in his heart, but he smiled heartily on the surface: "Under my company, I am a person on the set."
