Volume I, Chapter 49, Propaganda
"Mr. Collision" has a box office of more than 10 million, and Wang Jing, who became popular with two "Hardcover Chasing Girls", has begun to show his directorial talent in 88, although his "Mr. Collision" was scheduled to be released in early June, the worst time period of the summer box office, but the new films released at the same time in early June are only "Mong Kok Carmen", a "Falcon Operation", a "North and South Mom" and a "Yellow River Hero" co-produced by Xi'an Film Studio and Xinyicheng.
Among these four films, "The Yellow River Hero" still follows the traditional hard-bridge hard-horse martial arts routine that began to decline in the late 70s, and this movie is known as one of the four major cinema chains in Hong Kong. Shuangnan Cinema Line's release, but this Shuangnan Cinema Line has been boycotted by the Hong Kong film industry because it is a theater line under the mainland state-owned film company Yindu, and it has been resisted by the Hong Kong film industry. Of the four films released at the same time, it was the least threatening to "Mr. Evil".
"North and South Mom" is a low-cost funny movie, focusing on witty family light comedy, but the investment of more than one million yuan can't shoot any wonderful plot, the too simple plot makes it want to be a little popular With the efforts of Dong Bi, Zhang Xueyou, Shen Dianxia and other leading actors, there are still some possibilities, but the type of "Mr. Collision" is similar to it, and it is a relaxed and witty route, whether it is from the investment or director's skills and the fame of the actors, it is difficult for "North and South Mom" to affect it.
The remaining two, "Falcon Action" and "Mong Kok Carmen" are starring Liu Dehua, this big star in the film and television music industry has won the reputation of Desperate San Lang with his hard work in the past two years, and he has to take on several movies every year. It's just that the difference in genre makes it difficult for both movies to affect "Mr. Evil", and in fact, it is. "Falcon Action" was released a little earlier, bringing together Liu Dehua, Zheng Zeshi, Zhong Chuhong, the three actors, although the plot has been accused of being too simple, but relying on the idol effect, as of June 24, it has been released for 20 days and its local box office has exceeded 10 million, but it has been reduced by half of the number of screenings of the Golden Princess for five consecutive days, and it is expected that the next painting will be within a week.
"Mong Kok Carmen" is Wong Kar-wai's directorial debut, but because the art is too heavy to be loved by Princess Jin, the screening is scheduled after "Operation Falcon", and as a result, his earliest film was released a little later than his second film "Operation Falcon". Since its release on June 9, it has taken more than half a month, and its box office has just exceeded 7 million, if it were not for the recent sudden popularity of its buck trend and the strong recommendation of many film critics in Hong Kong, plus there was no movie released in the same period in the New Arts City, I am afraid that this film that shows Wong Kar-wai's directorial talent will be buried by the theater.
On the 24th, Lin Xiaozhi got a good news as soon as he arrived at the company, Zheng Zeshi's "Maoshan Taoist Fighting Zombies" has been close to the end of filming after more than 20 days of work, and the last few plays will end in two or three days, that is to say, the first film since the establishment of New Asia is about to be completed, and maybe it can really be released in mid-to-late July, but it gave him a glimpse of what is called "Hong Kong efficiency".
"The efficiency is quite fast, since the filming of "Maoshan" is nearing the end, Zheng Fei, you personally go over to ask Director Zheng whether he arranged the release of "Maoshan" or handed it over to us!"
Throwing the briefcase onto his desk, Lin Xiaozhi loosened his tie and took a few breaths and commanded.
I don't know if it's because the last time Qiu Degen came to their New Asia, Lin Xiaozhi said those words that he listened to, in short, the current New Asia has moved back to the previous Qiu Film's office, which is not only more than twice the size of their previous office on the second floor, but also he, the executive director, also has his own private office. Of course, the only thing that made him slightly dissatisfied was that the office building before Qiu's movie was on the sixth floor, and if he didn't catch the elevator, it would be very tiring to climb the stairs.
Zheng Fei was standing on the side of his desk, holding a few documents in his arms. He has been following Lin Xiaozhi recently, and after having a more comprehensive understanding of his ability, Lin Xiaozhi intended to let him be in charge of the company's issuance, but after he handed this appointment to Wang Jia'an, he did not receive a reply for the time being.
Zheng Fei saw Lin Xiaozhi and Wang Jia'an propose to let him manage the distribution, although Wang Jia'an has not approved it yet, but Lin Xiaozhi has now handed over the few people who are still on the distribution side to him to manage, and promised that all the newly recruited distribution will be carried by him. Coupled with his background, Zheng Fei is now a member of the Lin family.
Hearing Lin Xiaozhi tell him to deal with Zheng Zeshi, Zheng Fei's face suddenly became bitter, although both of them are surnamed Zheng, but because of the film investment funds, Zheng Zeshi's attitude towards New Asia is very bad now, if Qiu Degen hadn't paid for the gap by himself some time ago, I am afraid that he would have sold his shares and left New Asia now. Before the start of "Maoshan", he said that he would do the release of the movie, and now Lin Xiaozhi asked him to ask, which is a standard chore.
said truthfully at the moment: "Director, Director Zheng has already spoken, I'm afraid of ......"
He said half of what he said, but the meaning behind it was already very clear, it was nothing more than to remind Lin Xiaozhi that Zheng Zeshi was now very unhappy with New Asia, to be precise, under the management of Wang Jia'an as president.
"Tea?" Lin Xiaozhi poured himself a glass of white water and turned around and asked, seeing him shake his head, he drank himself before putting down the water glass, nodded and said: "I know that Director Zheng mentioned this, I don't force you to ask for anything, just let you go over and ask, after all, New Asia's film distribution is now nominally under our control." ”
"Yes, Director, I know what to do!"
Zheng Fei was just about to leave his office when he heard a knock on the door outside the office, and Lin Xiaozhi answered, "Come in!" ”
I saw Secretary Wu leading a few people into his office and said, "Director Lin, this is after the preliminary review below, in line with our recruitment standards, there are a total of seven people, the information is here, you see, if there is no problem, sign it for me and then I will take them to do the file!" ”
She stepped forward and put the stack of documents she was holding on Lin Xiaozhi's desk. However, when he looked up at him, he was surprised to find that Lin Xiaozhi did not pay attention to the documents on his desk, but looked behind her with a little surprise, to be precise, it was a young woman among the seven people behind her, and it took a long time before she spoke: "Miss Zhou? ”
That's right, just after Secretary Wu led the group and completely entered his office, Lin Xiaozhi was surprised to find that the only woman among these people was Zhou Huimin, who had met him two days ago. What is she doing in New Asia?
Today's Zhou Huimin is a little different from when she met a few days ago, when she saw her that day, she was wearing a casual shirt, looking bright and beautiful like a fairy. Today's image has undergone a 180-degree change, with a pair of slender legs, she changed into a black lady's professional dress today, and the glasses on her face that originally looked incompatible with her were also replaced by a pair of beautifully made black-framed glasses, making her look a little less dusty fairy, but a little more quiet and capable professional female charm, even if Lin Xiaozhi is used to seeing stars, she has to admit that she is a very beautiful woman, no wonder later generations were exposed because of a wrong relationship, can arouse the support of so many netizens, you must know that many people have not experienced her era.
Zhou Huimin stroked her long hair, and two small dimples bent out of her face, as if she felt that the eyes in the room were focused on her, or maybe the professional clothes were too thick, which made her feel very hot, in short, there were more beads of sweat on her tender white forehead. But after all, she has been a radio host, and she behaved decently, and nodded slightly to Lin Xiaozhi, "Director Lin, I see that your ATV is recruiting senior assistants, and I will apply!" ”
Senior assistant is actually another word for assistant to the president. It's just that not everyone can directly serve as the assistant to the president like him. After he was appointed executive director, Wong's assistant position became vacant and he needed to recruit a new senior assistant and then be appointed as assistant to the president after a period of training. When Lin Xiaozhi held this position before, his monthly salary was 14,000, which was not high but not low. Although it has been reduced to 7,000 now, that is only before the training, and the monthly salary after completing the training is still 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is more than some channel hosts of ATV and TVB.
It's just that no matter what he thinks, he would never have imagined that this woman, who should have become famous in the wireless and Hong Kong music scene a few years later, has appeared in New Asia now?
Lin Xiaozhi was slightly flustered, but he quickly reacted, nodded and didn't say more, picked up a few documents on the table and looked at them, but he shook his head and handed them to Secretary Wu again, "Take the information and let Mr. Wang approve it personally, the personnel side has not been set up, and I am only temporarily responsible for recruitment, and whether to admit or not will be approved by Mr. Wang." ”
After getting along with Wang Jia'an for a while, he can be regarded as seeing it. That Wang Jia'an is a man with a strong sense of power. Now that he has climbed to the position of the high-level of New Asia in less than a month, I am afraid that he has made him feel uneasy, although he has Lin Baixin as a hard backer, but there have been a lot of rumors about him recently, and he can't be offended too much.
As soon as Secretary Wu heard his refusal, he opened his mouth and was about to speak, when he heard Lin Xiaozhi's mobile phone suddenly ringing on the table, he made a gesture to close his voice, walked over and picked up the mobile phone, "Hey......"
"Hey, it's Director Lin, right?"
"I am, may I ask you ......?"
"Hehe, I'm Lu Dawei, the general manager of "Fire Qilin", Director Lin, two days ago you sent someone to contact our company, saying that you want to talk about a cooperation, I am a little interested, it just so happens that I have time today, why don't we pick a place to sit down and have a good chat, what do you think?"
Quickly tore a page, took a note and wrote down the time and address, and after Lin Xiaozhi hung up the phone, his face was already full of smiles.
Seeing that Secretary Wu was still there, Lin Xiaozhi picked up the coat hanging in the corner and instructed: "I contacted the magazine to talk about film promotion, Secretary Wu, take the file and let President Wang approve it." ”
After that, he gave Zheng Fei a look, he picked up the briefcase, said sorry again, and walked out of the office first.
