Lin Jianming unexpectedly listened to his words, and within a few days after the two had dinner together, Qiu Degen in the ATV building would resign after holding the last board of directors of his tenure at the end of the month, and the news spread that billionaire Lin Baixin would replace him as chairman of the board of directors of ATV. And there are even rumors that Lin Baixin's beloved son, Lin Jianle, who has intensified the conflict between the board of directors and ATV's management because of his eagerness to seize power, will also return to ATV with him on the board of directors.

The gossip spread very hot in the ATV building within a few days, and the voice of dissatisfaction with Lin Jianle's return was also constantly brewing under the encouragement of the planners behind the scenes.

“…… Yes, yes, yes, purchase some mI9lIa or 54 type, and the Hong Kong police ordinary revolver is required. The weapon that the protagonist wants to use must be the kind of desert eagle produced by the Israeli military industry, and the Colt python revolver, and the 'Herbert & Wesson 9 revolver, both require a few ......"

Staring at a document in his left hand, Lin Xiaozhi held the telephone microphone in his right hand, and kept giving orders to the company's logistics side. People who don't know the way of the road still think that this is some kind of arms deal, but in fact, this is just Lin Xiaozhi for the weapons and props that need to be used in his new movie "Killer Leon", explaining to the logistics procurement side, so that they can contact a professional photography props company to procure.

"Boss, 54 type and police revolver to how many here, of which the price of 54 single is 700 more than 50 police revolver is cheaper, single only 450 more than 10 ......"

"Okay, okay, don't give me an offer. I'll look at it when you get the bill out of the back office, and you're not going to tell me now that the craftsman doesn't have the props I want, right? ”

Artisan Photography Props Company is a relatively large professional photography props production company in Hong Kong, and it is also one of the only three props companies that have obtained a business license issued by the Hong Kong government. It is important to know that many of the firearms and props in the Lu Dao movie are high-quality imitation goods, and they may be lethal with a little modification, and it is impossible not to strictly control them in Hong Kong, where firearms control and the community is strong.

"Boss, most of the things you want, the craftsman has them. Colt Python Revolver, 900 apiece, 'Herbert & Wesson 9 Revolver, 10UU, but there is no Desert Eagle, if you have to, we can only temporarily let the craftsman make it but the boss, I asked the craftsman company here, the Desert Eagle is too big for East Asians......"

“…… I know that, okay man, all you have to do is place an order with the craftsman, and I repeat, we need it in our movies......"

"Alright then......"

Lin Xiaozhi read the document quickly, and after putting the document down, his head began to be active again. Suddenly, he thought for a while, and then said: "I almost forgot, I want another batch of NP5 police submachine guns and ak, the number, the tentative is twenty, I almost forgot, and I want a fully equipped D sniper rifle...

"Boss, we want so much, it's best to choose to sign a lease agreement with the craftsman. Otherwise, after the filming is completed, it will not be easy to deal with ......"

"You can do this......"

Lin Xiaozhi hung up the phone, his head wrinkled, "It can't be so bad, right......"

The documents sent below are all reports on the preparation of new films by various departments. One of the things that made him particularly entangled was that the Cantonese teacher hired by Xinya temporarily for Xu Shujuan said that this girl had no talent in learning, at least the original plan wanted her to only learn those Cantonese lines in the script within a week, and she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to do it.

"At least twice as long as it takes"

This is a sentence that appears repeatedly in the document by the teacher who is teaching Xu Shujuan to learn Cantonese.

"Looks like I'm going to have to take a look at it sometime"

In May, storms continued to blow from the north, and under the successive hype of the British government in Hong Kong, Western society, and the media, even the Oriental Daily, which accounts for the largest amount of entertainment news, began to drastically reduce the space occupied by entertainment news, and gave more space to the north and to the scholars in Hong Kong who jumped up and down. The chaos and turmoil in Hong Kong continues, and the filming of two films invested by New Asia has come to an end.

He Fan's filming speed is far faster than Lin Xiaozhi imagined, he still said more than a week on May 13th, and by the 19th, he had taken the initiative to call Lin Xiaozhi and said that it would be announced in two days at the latest, and "Liao Zhai Yan Tan" is about to enter the post-production process, which means that it may once again bring a lot of revenue to the company. He Fan praised Ye Zilin again and again on the phone, and was obviously surprised that Xinya had found another star seedling with better capital than Ye Yuqing, and secretly praised it.

With a phone call from him, the new Asia machine, which had been idle for more than a month, was about to start again. From publicity to distribution, the department is preparing and brewing, and when "Liao Zhai Yan Tan" has completed most of the post-production and determined the release time, it will start to focus on publicity.

Gao Zhisen's filming speed is slightly slower than He Fan's, although the two movies were launched at the same time in early April, the plot of "Water Margin Laughter" is naturally not comparable to the Fengyue film "Liao Zhai Yan Tan", and the shooting is also much more difficult. Although Gao Zhisen also created the feat of shooting a movie in four weeks and completing post-production and release, but he filmed the movie "Water Margin" very seriously, when on May 16, Cheng Long's "Miracle" landed in theaters and began to sweep the Hong Kong box office, Lin Xiaozhi received a call from Gao Zhisen five days later: ""Miracle" is on fire, "Water Margin Laughter" is not in a hurry to be released in June, and the last scene will be filmed within a week."

Lin Xiaozhi realized that the reason why he slowed down the shooting speed was to avoid Cheng Long's blockbuster "Miracle" and gamble on the summer file

Cheng Long is worthy of Cheng Long, since Hong Kong entered the 80s, the first to be respected as a 'box office guarantee', he once again proved that he deserves this honor. Golden Harvest's "Miracle" landed in theaters on May 16, because of the popularity of the midnight test screening, "Miracle" was released by 74 theaters in Hong Kong on the first day of release, and this kind of treatment has never been enjoyed by Fa Ge. And Cheng Long did not live up to the expectations of the entire Hong Kong theater businessmen, and the box office of "Miracle" quickly exceeded 00,000 Hong Kong dollars on the first day of release, bringing a touch of warmth and laughter to this city that was blown by the storm and became gloomy.

I have to admit that before "God of Gamblers" came out, Fa Ge's gentlemanly character was slightly inferior to Cheng Long.

Gao Zhisen chose not to collide with Cheng Long's new film, and not only a fat man named Wang Jing had the same idea as him, but even the great director Wu Yusen also made the same calculation.

In mid-February this year, it is said that Yongsheng invested in the filming of Wang Jing's new work - "The Supreme", Lin Xiaozhi has been paying attention to Yongsheng's situation, and also learned that the film was secretly started shooting at the end of March on the set of Clearwater Bay of TVB. Wang Fatzi is a well-known fast knife player in the Hong Kong film and television industry, and it stands to reason that with his shooting speed, it is completely enough to complete the shooting by the end of April, and then be released on the screen at the end of May or early June. Obviously, in order not to collide with Golden Harvest's "Miracle", he slowed down the filming speed, and it was not until "Miracle" was finally released that Wang Fatzi appeared in the media for the first time to confirm that the new film had been filmed.

“…… Thanks to the care and support of media friends, my new work "The Supreme" has been completed in early May and entered the post-production process...... Some media friends asked me why it took me so long to finish filming, to be honest, it was to avoid colliding with Aaron's new movie, and I wish Aaron's new movie good results, of course, we won't be right, "The Supreme" will not be released until the end of June at the earliest, and it will give you a surprise at that time. In addition, thanks to Xiang Sheng's support and trust, after filming "The Supreme", in addition to being busy with post-production, I will prepare another movie non-stop. I had the idea for this movie last year, and it was also a film, and after being honed by "The Supreme", I feel that the new movie may be able to disappoint everyone...... As for the new movie, I can tell you one thing for the time being, we are ready to invite the top stars in the industry to join ......"

When he saw Wang Jing's confident declaration in the newspaper, Lin Xiaozhi felt a sense of loss. He had already considered getting the script of "God of Gamblers" out in advance. But Wang Fatzi is a pit goods, since last year, when he didn't have any money, he has been making a lot of nonsense in the media to get a big-selling "gambling movie" script. Lin Xiaozhi suffered a loss, thinking that he, the original author, was going to write "God of Gamblers", but when Wang Fatzi got the script, he realized that Lu Dao was talking about "The Supreme".

In order to avoid Li Kui's farce against Li Ghost, Lin Xiaozhi could only regretfully give up "God of Gamblers".

Wang Fatzi has always been shrewd, he would give up the release of "Miracle" at the same time, and choose to postpone the start to avoid the sharpness of Cheng Long and Jiahe, Lin Xiaozhi is not surprised. But Wu Yusen also chose to avoid a hard confrontation with Cheng Long's "Miracle", he had already announced the completion of the battle, and even deliberately controlled and adjusted the release time of "Bloody Heroes", and released the rumor that it would be released in July, not only avoiding encountering "Miracle", but even Wang Jing's "Supreme" was chosen by him to avoid the confrontation, changing Wu Yusen's momentum during the "True Colors of Heroes" period, which made people sigh honestly.

Lin Xiaozhi once heard Brother Fa reveal that the new movie is related to whether Wu Yusen can set up his own film company, it seems that Brother ∫ is really ready to leave Xu Ke's studio, otherwise he wouldn't care so much about whether "Bloody Heroes" can make him how much money.

Ye Weixin came to the company to meet him a full week later than he expected.

When Lin Xiaozhi saw Ye Weixin again, he found that he was slightly fatter than when the two met more than a month ago, and he was whiter and more scholarly.

"Mr. Lin"

Ye Weixin took two letter-like things and walked into Lin Xiaozhi's office.

"Ashin, you're here. How's it going, how is it recovering now? ”

Lin Xiaozhi is doing the most difficult preparations for his new movie, and "Killer Leon", which was originally going to start filming at the end of May, was postponed by him to June, which is the last preparation time.

The reason why it has been postponed for so long is not only that there are too many things that need to be prepared for the movie, but also because he is waiting for two people, one is Yuan Kui, the action director of his "Killer Leon", he took a few plays in the past few months, and he will not have time until the end of May at the earliest, as one of the best action directors in Hong Kong, Lin Xiaozhi is willing to wait for him for a few days.

As for the other person who is waiting, it is Xu Ruoxuan, a little girl who has just changed her stage name to Xu Shujuan. With a rebellious temperament, she seems to have a natural resistance to learning, and it took her Cantonese teacher half a month to finally let the girl memorize most of her character lines in "Killer Leon". When you turn on the camera to shoot, you should be able to use it.

Ye Weixin didn't seem to expect him to be so enthusiastic, his face was slightly embarrassed, holding two letter-like things, his lips squirmed for a while, and then he said: "Xie Lu Xie Lin is always concerned, my body has almost recovered now." ”

Lin Xiaozhi smiled and beckoned him to sit down, Ye Wei couldn't hide things in his confidence, he was too young, a few years younger than him Lin Xiaozhi.

He looked hesitant, and then looked at the contents of the two letters in his hand, which were crumpled a little crumpled. Lin Xiaozhi's heart sank, and he suddenly guessed something.

At the moment, he said quietly: "Ashin, I have wronged you." I made you suffer so badly for the company before, but because the other party has a community background, the police are also tied, so you are wronged"

Ye Weixin hurriedly said: "What grievances, Mr. Lin, you have always helped me pay for the treatment and hospitalization fees during my injury, and you also approved paid sick leave for me during my recuperation, I want to thank you." You see, I've been raising a lot of money at home for the past few months......"

Lin Xiaozhi saw that he was telling the truth, and there was no other meaning on his face, it didn't look like a fake, and it didn't seem that he had a problem with the company because of this matter. At the moment, his head turned for a while, and then asked tentatively: "It's good that you don't have anything to do, it just so happens that it's time for you to come back now." Ashin, the company has been expanding very fast lately. Now that we're shooting and preparing three movies at the same time, it's even better if you come back, but I've been preparing a good script for you until you come back and take charge of it independently

As soon as his words fell, he saw Ye Weixin's body tremble, and he raised his head to see that there was a slight complication in his eyes. When Lin Xiaozhi saw this appearance, he was immediately overjoyed. The envelope in Ye Weixin's hand, he guessed that it was a letter of resignation at a glance. It is not difficult to guess who one of them is, Zheng Zeshi wanted to leave New Asia for a day or two after selling him the shares of New Asia.

Let Zheng Zeshi go, Lin Xiaozhi is also fully prepared now, the twisted melon is not sweet, he just let him leave if he wants to go. What's more, Zheng Zeshi is also affectionate and righteous to him, and before leaving, he also asked for a script for Xinya and his friend Gao Zhisen, and brought his friend to shoot for Xinya's handheld. In the past few years, many of his films have a box office of more than 20 million, and even a few of them have exceeded 30 million.

It doesn't hurt that Zheng Zeshi wants to leave, but Ye Weixin and Lin Xiaozhi don't want to let him go. This is a very talented director, although his filming speed is slow, although he is young and inexperienced, he has his own directing style at a young age. In his films, there is a delicacy and appeal that cannot be imitated, and he is one of the few directors who is good at taking into account both literary and commercial aspects. And this kind of director, the movies he makes are not only not low at the box office, but also easy to win awards.

This is a cash cow that can move and appreciate, and if you really let him go, it will be a big loss not only for Lin Xiaozhi, but also for Xinya.

Brother Mao is holding hands, so that Ye Weixin is today. Lin Xiaozhi did not doubt Zheng Zeshi's influence on him, what he was most worried about was seeing half of his mentor 'Zheng Zeshi, gone, Ye Weixin also had a hot head and wanted to follow. That's why he threw such a bait. "Color is Empty" was supposed to be Ye Weixin's first independent handheld movie, but because something happened halfway, the fame and popularity of the last were all taken away by Lin Xiaozhi, Ye Weixin has not been able to successfully independently direct a movie to prove himself, he will go, and someone must have made a promise to him.

Lin Xiaozhi is gambling, he gambled that in the past few months, he has collected medical expenses for Ye Weixin, approved paid sick leave and other means to buy people's hearts in vain. After seeing the young man's gratitude, he immediately released his killer weapon and promised to give him the opportunity to run the computer independently. Sure enough, Ye Weixin valued his career more than anything else, and when he heard that he was willing to give himself the opportunity to take charge of the computer independently, he was immediately shaken.

Lin ...... Mr. Lin ......"

The struggle on Ye Weixin's face was too obvious, Lin Xiaozhi waved his hand and interrupted him, "You take a look at the script first, in fact, the last time we filmed "Color is Empty" together, I felt that you have the potential and temperament to become a first-rate director. I think it's good that you can make ordinary stories that are moving and thought-provoking. So, I prepared for a while, created a script like this, and kept it for you for a few months

He took out the key, opened a drawer in the lower corner of the desk, took out a file bag and handed it over, his eyes fixed on the struggling Ye Weixin.

After taking over this script, Ye Weixin couldn't hand over his resignation letter today. is not only confident in this script, but also confident in Ye Weixin's personality.

In the early years of the Hong Kong screenwriting industry, because they were not valued and their income was too low, there were a number of scum screenwriters who sold the script to one company, quickly changed their names, changed part of the plot, and sold them to another company. In 83 and 84 years, after Hong Kong had a number of "crashes," "face collisions," after the movies, Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, New Arts City and other giants jointly issued a blocking order, announcing that they would not cooperate with a group of such screenwriters permanently, and it became a rule in the industry not to give one script to two.

After reading his script, Ye Weixin couldn't leave if he wanted to.

However, it was unexpected by Lin Xiaozhi. After struggling for a while, Ye Weixin still resisted the urge to accept the script, didn't dare to look up at him, directly lowered his head and stepped forward to avoid eye contact with him, and handed the two resignation letters to Lin Xiaozhi.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin. Although I disappointed you, but Brother Cat has a kindness to me, not to mention that my old club Xinyicheng invited me back, so I ......"

Lin Xiaozhi was silent for a while, and sure enough, the Big Three were much more attractive to filmmakers like Ye Weixin who were eager to become famous.

After receiving the two resignation letters, he silently opened one first, which was Zheng Zeshi's. In a few short sentences, it is nothing more than that he is not talented enough, and he is empty as the production director of New Asia, but he has not done a few things for the company, and he feels ashamed to resign. Looking at Ye Weixin again, he wrote more than 2,000 words freely, but compared with Zheng Zeshi, who has no memory of Xinya, it can be seen that Ye Weixin has a deep reluctance, but it seems that Xinyicheng has made him a condition that is difficult for him to refuse, otherwise with this young man's personality, it is impossible to choose to leave without Xinya.

Quickly turning one thought after another in his heart, Lin Xiaozhi slowly raised his head after a while, sighed, took a signature pen, and signed two words on the back of Zheng Zeshi's resignation letter, ready to wait for the personnel side to terminate the contract between Xinya and Zheng Zeshi. But Ye Weixin's resignation letter, he held it in his hand for a while and did not sign it.

Ashin...... Brother Cat is leaving, and I can sign the resignation letter. But you and I are not ready to let go, Xinya is now the time to become bigger and stronger, I don't know what kind of promise Ludao New Art City will give you, so that you will be so excited. But for talents, I have always been willing to give better conditions. Well, I will also make a condition for you, if you still want to hand over this resignation letter after listening to it, I will sign and approve it immediately. ”

He paused and raised a finger: "Brother Mao is gone, the position of the production director of Xinya is vacant, I am not going to give this seat to others, it is for you." You stay, promoted to acting production director of New Asia, and within a month, the company will provide you with less than 5 million funds for you to shoot a new movie, the script is this "Friend", I believe that this movie will not disappoint you"

"Acting Production Director"

Ye Weixin raised his head abruptly and looked at him excitedly, and his breathing became short.

After a long time, he nodded with difficulty and made a decision.

"I ...... Stay"
