Chapter 179: Forming an Editorial Department
"It's really going to win people's hearts." Wang Jing looked at Li Le in the distance and said secretly in his heart.
In Wang Jing's view, Li Le's generous red envelopes can indeed win people's hearts. Because Li Le now gives people the feeling that he is very bold, and he can make more money under his hands. What do you work hard for, it's not all to be able to make more money to support your family.
Seeing the smiles on the faces of the people who received the red envelopes, Wang Jing clearly knew that Li Le had won a lot of people's hearts.
The only one who seemed a little calm was Zhou Xingchi, because he took 800,000 yuan because of the gambling salary. In addition, after switching to Golden Harvest, Zou Wenhuai and others promised him a salary of 2 million plus a certain share. Li Le is now sealing the 500,000 red envelopes, and he really doesn't pay too much attention to it.
For Li Le, in Wang Jing's opinion, he has done everything very well, and there are no shortcomings at all. In his heart, Wang Jing was also secretly glad for his decision to agree to form Oriental Entertainment with Li Le. Continuing to stay in the black hole of the Shaw Brothers, Wang Jing would not have been able to get so many results so quickly.
The celebration was held only after the gambling saint was lowered, and there was no intention to stimulate the box office of the gambling saint. The celebration party is just to publicize the box office of the gambling saint in Hong Kong. All the reporters who arrived were blocked from the venue, and none of the reporters knew what was going on in the venue.
As the master, of course, Li Le could not leave in the middle. The celebration was held very late, and the people gradually dispersed. Looking at the somewhat empty venue, Chen Baixiang arranged for someone to clean up. Li Le took Wang Li to Chen Baixiang's side and said, "Ah Lak, you deal with the things you pack up first, we will leave first, and you can go back early." It's the same if we'll leave it for tomorrow, and we don't have anything to do right now. ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it specifically, you can rest assured!" After a pause, Chen Baixiang also said to Wang Li: "Lily, come over often when you have time." ”
"I'll come and see if I have a chance." Wang Li also said with a smile.
After Li Le said goodbye to Chen Baixiang. also took Wang Li to quietly avoid reporters and leave Oriental Entertainment.
In Li Le's heart. He thought that Wang Li would ask him something when he went back! I don't know if Lu Dao happily forgot or didn't take Li Jiaxin's matter to heart at all, Wang Li didn't ask Li Le anything until he was resting.
"The blessing of all people?" Li Le smiled bitterly in his heart.
After gambling on the Holy Celebration Party, Li Le was idle, but he still went to Oriental Entertainment the next day. briefly communicated with Chen Baixiang. Li Le called Liu Zhenwei to his office.
For Liu Zhenwei. Li Le is also very concerned. It's just that the other party is after entering Oriental Entertainment. Li Le didn't have much time, and Liu Zhenwei forgot about it for the time being. Now that he is free, Li Le also thinks of Liu Zhenwei.
"Boss. Are you looking for me? ”
"Sit down." Seeing that Liu Zhenwei was alone, Li Le said with a smile. "What have you been up to lately?"
"I'm all working on the script, and I haven't had a clue lately." Liu Zhenwei did not hide what he has been busy with recently.
Li Le nodded, Li Le had great expectations for Liu Zhenwei. Liu Zhenwei is not only a big director, but also a good screenwriter. Legend has it that Liu Zhenwei, who has an idea, can complete a script in one day.
"Take your time with the script, as long as it is a good script, we at Oriental Entertainment will definitely support you to shoot. I came to you today because I have something to tell you. Although Liu Zhenwei has not come up with a script yet, Li Le doesn't pay much attention to it. For Liu Zhenwei, Li Le did not expect the other party to have the same ability as he did later.
Listening to Li Le's words, Liu Zhenwei couldn't help but sit up straight. "Boss, what do you command?"
"That's right, I want to set up a screenwriting department, and I want to hand it over to you for the time being. I also know that you were a screenwriter before, so you should be clearer about this. ”
Hearing that Li Le was going to set up a screenwriting department and hand it over to him, Liu Zhenwei was also a little excited in his heart. However, Liu Zhenwei was still very calm, and he asked: "Boss, Director Wang Jing is also a screenwriter, and he is also a famous screenwriter. In my opinion, it is more appropriate for the screenwriting department to hand it over to him. ”
Wang Jing's screenwriting ability is indeed very strong, but Liu Zhenwei will be more powerful in the future. Wang Jing has made a lot of scripts, but most of them follow the trend. Some people's evaluation of Wang Jing is even called the most profitable plagiarism king. Although it is a work that follows the trend, Wang Jing has made a lot of money.
Wang Jing is also a screenwriter, but he has a lot of other things. Your ability is no worse than his, and now you are the most suitable person to be in charge of the screenwriting department in the company. Wang Jing he? From now on, just put a name on the screenwriting department. ”
"When I asked you to set up a screenwriting department, my idea was to ask you to help collect screenwriting talents for the company. You are the person in the screenwriter's circle, and you have more contact with it and know more people. If our company wants to grow, we need to replenish more blood. ”
Li Le reused Liu Zhenwei because the other party had been rolling at the bottom and knew many people. There are abilities and relationships, and such a talent is a suitable management talent. Wang Jing is also a person in the screenwriter circle, but there are definitely not many screenwriters who have a relationship with him. Looking at the movies directed by Wang Jing, you can see that many of them are written by himself, and he doesn't need to rely on other screenwriters at all.
At the bottom of the screenwriter, there is no shortage of capable people, but they are buried. Li Le hopes that he can use Liu Zhenwei's hands to dig out those talents.
"If you think about it seriously, being in charge of the screenwriting department will not affect your other affairs. Once the screenwriting department is on track, you can also focus on other things. ”
Listening to Li Le's words, Liu Zhenwei knew that Li Le was to reassure him. Liu Zhenwei didn't think much about it, so he agreed. Because he is in charge of the screenwriting department, it will only be a good thing for Liu Zhenwei.
Liu Zhenwei agreed, Li Le laughed, and said: "The current screenwriting department is an empty shell, and you have to be busy." ”
Liu Zhenwei nodded and said, "Boss, don't worry, I know some capable screenwriters." I contacted them after that, and I thought the company's screenwriting department would be able to be built very quickly. ”
"I'm relieved to have you in charge." Li Le smiled.
Liu Zhenwei thought for a while and asked, "Boss, what task do you think you will arrange for the screenwriting department?" I can't set up a screenwriting department, and I don't know where I want to work! ”
"You're in a hurry." Li Le said with a smile. Liu Zhenwei is also anxious for this meritorious service, after all, the establishment of the screenwriting department is about to be the first official department of Oriental Entertainment. In Liu Zhenwei's heart, he also wants the screenwriting department to show results. "So be it! When the screenwriting department is formed, you should first think about the sequel to the gambling saint. The box office of the gambling saint is good, and we can't let go of the opportunity to make money. ”
"Boss, do you have any suggestions for a sequel to the Gambling Saint?" Hearing Li Le say the task of the screenwriting department, Liu Zhenwei immediately asked for instructions. For the filming of the sequel to the gambling saint, Liu Zhenwei also has some expectations in his heart. Not to mention gambling to make money, just talking about the first task of the screenwriting department, Liu Zhenwei did not dare to be careless. Li Le, as the screenwriter of the gambling saint, Liu Zhenwei certainly wants to know what Li Le thinks about the sequel.
Li Le originally wanted to tell the plot of Gambling Saint 2 and the Gambler, but he thought that both movies were related to Wang Jing, and the scripts were all made by Wang Jing. Li Le said in his heart: "Judging from the popularity of the gambling saint, Wang Fatzi should have some ideas!" Thinking of this, Li Le smiled and said: "Later, you contact Wang Jing, he is good at gambling films, and he is also a director." You ask him what he thinks, and then the writers will get the script for the sequel. ”
Li Le doesn't want Oriental Entertainment to rely on him, and every movie can't be written by Li Le. Li Le is true that he knows a lot of scripts, but he doesn't want to kill all the talents. In terms of movies, Li Le believes that making money is secondary, and the main thing is to cultivate more talents for Hong Kong films. Give more people a platform to play.
Liu Zhenwei thought about it in his heart and agreed. After all, he is also a knowledgeable Taoist, and it is indeed very suitable to cooperate with Wang Jing to conceive a sequel to the gambling saint.
"By the way, your screenwriting department also has a task, that is, for some good scripts that are suitable for reading as novels, you can also adapt the scripts into novels for publication. In this way, it can be regarded as everything! "I thought that "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" was a novel that should be written as a script, but now that the movie has been made, the novel is not. Li Lezhi said that the novel "Those Years" sold well, and he also had the idea of changing it into a novel for publication.
Liu Zhenwei saw Li Le and linked the script and the novel together, and he himself was stunned. He is very good at screenwriting, but he himself is not so clear about the things in the novel.
"Boss, our editorial department is okay with the script. If it is said that it will be changed into a novel, a screenwriter will not have a lot of certainty. Liu Zhenwei also hesitated.
Li Le also knew that his leap was a little big, and he said with a smile: "That's it! The screenwriting department is not only looking for good screenwriters, but also finding some better novelists to help adapt the script into a novel. ”
"That's okay too." Liu Zhenwei hesitated for a moment but agreed.
Li Le could see that Liu Zhenwei was a little unoptimistic, and Li Le said with a smile: "Mr. Jin Yong's novel can be adapted into a wonderful film and television drama, and we can do the opposite." The two are actually interconnected, it's just that the story doesn't fit. ”
gave an example like Jin Yong, and Liu Zhenwei was also convinced a lot. Liu Zhenwei said in his heart: "I haven't thought of anything before!" Liu Zhenwei had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he said with a smile: "It is feasible to adapt the script into a novel, boss, I think the story of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" is very good. I think that the adaptation into a novel should be welcomed by some people. (To be continued......)
