Volume I: Chapter 44 Executive Director

The train of thought was still not well written, and in seven or eight hours, I made a chapter-

In Hong Kong, where the economy is developing rapidly, the fast-paced life has led to Hong Kong people not being as happy as the outside world has said, and the higher consumption level and life pressure have led to Hong Kong people being more realistic and more profit-seeking, Lin Xiaozhi has now been in contact with some filmmakers, it is undeniable that there are many dreamers in the Hong Kong film industry, but Chiguoguo's interests are stimulated far more than empty dreams.

Sure enough, the huge reward of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars and 1 million Hong Kong dollars, even if it is just a blank check now, is a huge stimulus for the crew. Lin Xiaozhi looked around, and from those smart and passionate eyes, he saw what he wanted to see!

"That's pretty much it, He Sheng, you are the director of the movie, you can also say a few words!"

"Hehe, I see that everyone is silent in the shock brought by Lin Sheng, I'm afraid that everyone can't listen to what they are saying now!" He Fan is a person who has seen the world in the end, he has played the protagonist and important role in dozens of movies since his debut, and he has also been in charge of many movies, although he was shocked by Lin Xiaozhi's generosity, he was not as unbearable as others in the crew.

He thought for a moment and said with a smile: "If you want to be motivated, I won't say more, because I really can't think of anything more exciting than Lin Sheng's huge reward." Actually, it is not difficult to make a good movie, Lin Sheng found us a good script and some good actors. I believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to make a good work that satisfies the audience and everyone. I also want to have another deposit in my account, do you want to take that million rewards......"

"Want to ......"

"It's too quiet, I can't hear it clearly! Be louder......"

"Want to ......"

watched He Fan's words, and took advantage of the situation to stimulate the morale of everyone in the crew, from photography to props, lighting to makeup, scene notes to drama affairs, and even those leading actors and tricksters were all gearing up, eager for the movie to start filming immediately, Lin Xiaozhi was on the side, and the excitement in his heart was indescribable. Think about the more than ten years in the crew in my previous life, regardless of cold or summer, I silently followed one crew after another to go north and south, in order to have the opportunity to take charge of the guide tube in person. Now, he finally has the opportunity to direct a crew and dominate the shooting of a movie.

It's a good feeling!

For a moment, Lin Xiaozhi longed for the person standing behind the camera at this time, controlling everything, not He Fan but himself.

This restlessness kept pouring out of his heart, and it took him great strength to suppress the restlessness.

Not enough, not enough, now is not the time!

Lin Xiaozhi said this to himself in his heart, looking at the excited faces, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, slowly lit it and took a deep breath, letting the refreshing aroma of tobacco fill his chest, and his eyes gradually returned to clarity.

If it is said that from the beginning, he gave up taking charge of the guide tube of "I'm Crazy for Qing", on the one hand, he was worried that he, who had no experience in the guide tube, would ruin a money-making movie; is even more out of love for his reputation, and he doesn't want to be associated with tertiary films. Then, the heavy check that he received from his eldest brother Lin Xiaoyi after exhausting his mind made him realize that he only had one way to succeed in this movie, because if he failed, he would probably have to spend longer and more time and effort to get such an opportunity.

The film had to be a success, or rather it had to make money.

As long as the movie is made well, he doesn't need to wait for anyone to give him a chance, and his opportunity will always be in his own hands in the future.

Compared to the future, Lin Xiaozhi is willing to give up the present. If you succeed, there will be many opportunities in the future!

Seeing that Lin Xiaozhi had no intention of speaking,

Jiang Hua, Wu Yijiang, Ye Yuqing, Qiu Yueqing, Qiu Yuru...... There are also gaffers, photographers, ...... The focus of everyone on the set was on him, and He Fan solemnly lifted the lead microphone: "Now that the scene has been arranged, pay attention to the lighting control according to my previous reminder...... Photography keeps up with ...... All of them, the first scene of the first act of "I'm Crazy for You" is about to start filming, and we will strive to win the only scene of this first act in one go! ”

β€œAction!”

With a shout, "I'm Crazy for Qing" officially announced the start of filming.

With the announcement of the filming of the movie, Lin Xiaozhi also began to get busy. Although Xinya's small leather bag company does not have many documents that he, the assistant to the president, needs to deal with. However, with the start of filming of the movie, the next thing that is coming is large-scale publicity and release, and relying on Xinya's manpower alone will definitely not be enough. In fact, even in the golden age of Hong Kong films at the peak of the 90s, the major film companies did not develop the habit of publicity, except for some blockbusters with an investment of tens of millions of dollars will be allocated a sum of money for advertising, most of the movies purely rely on the personal appeal of stars and directors, the credibility of film companies and the few broken posters of the theater chain to work hard, and almost no habit of publicity at all.

So much so that when American blockbusters hit and brought Hollywood's set of propaganda concepts that covered all classes, it was too late for Hong Kong films, which realized their shortcomings, to learn again.

For the movie "I'm Crazy for Qing", Lin Xiaozhi takes it very seriously. Although the film has just started filming, he has already begun to prepare for publicity, and it is precisely because of this that Lin Xiaozhi quickly scratched his head and realized that there was not enough manpower, and it was simply not enough to rely on the five or six people who were originally affiliated with the distribution department that Xinya could currently concentrate on him.

On the 19th, when Lin Xiaozhi arrived at the company with a draft plan for propaganda that he had spent two days to complete, the door of Wang Jia'an's office was open, and his suit jacket and briefcase were also in the office, but no one was there. After repeated inquiries from Secretary Wu, who had a different face, she said that she had missed her mouth, and Wang Jiaan was called to the chairman's office by Qiu Degen, who often came to ATV for inspection these days.

By the time Lin Xiaozhi saw him, it was already past half past ten in the morning.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Mr. Wang, Zheng Sheng's movie has been filming for half a month now, and they have been working fourteen hours a day for the past week, judging from the current speed, "Maoshan Taoist Fighting Zombies" should be no problem before the end of the month; Although "I'm Crazy for Qing" directed by He Sheng started late, because of the simple plot, with the current shooting speed, it will take up to three weeks to end the shooting. So, I think it's time for companies to start working on post-production, printing, publicity, distribution, and even videotape production. ”

As soon as he saw Wang Jia'an coming back, Lin Xiaozhi, who had been guarding the door of his office early, suddenly walked over and blocked the president of Xinya, who didn't know what happened to him during the recent period, and suddenly had a much colder attitude towards him, and rarely chatted with him alone.

Wang Jia'an seems to have lost some weight recently, and his spirit does not seem to be very good. When Lin Xiaozhi looked at him, he could clearly see his face, especially the eye circles, a pair of dark circles that had begun to bubble up.

"It turned out to be Lin Shao, I don't know what you think, you might as well say it and listen to it......" The words fell, he pointed to his office and motioned to go in.

I don't know if Lu Dao is an illusion, Lin Xiaozhi always feels that his tone of voice is a little rushed, and he has lost his previous enthusiasm.

Following Wang Jia'an into his office, Lin Xiaozhi closed the door casually, pulled a bench and sat down as usual, the moment he looked up, the expression on his face froze, and when his eyes swept over Wang Jia'an, he clearly saw a sneer and hostility flashing on his face.

What's wrong?

Lin Xiaozhi didn't react for a while, so he had to answer first: "...... Regarding the promotion of the movie, I have summarized such a draft plan these days, and I happened to bring it today, please ask Mr. Wang for approval! ”

He put the draft of his propaganda plan in front of Wang Jia'an, and when he saw him pick it up and read it, he said again: "...... The impact of good publicity on the box office is undoubtedly huge. I am confident that this low-cost promotional plan that I have developed will definitely boost the box office of "I'm Crazy for You" once implemented. It's just that in terms of manpower, even if we convene all the current New Asia distribution, it is not enough, so I would like to ask Mr. Wang if I can recruit a group of professional publicity, public relations and distribution, if Wang is always worried about financial problems, then we don't need large-scale recruitment for the time being, from the current point of view, if there are more than ten people, no, recruit ten more people, my publicity plan will be basically the same......"

Wang Jia'an was silent for a while and didn't answer him, and there was only smack in the office for a while, and he looked at the sound of Lin Xiaozhi's propaganda plan rubbing the paper.

After a long time, I heard him laugh for a while, closed the plan, and said with a smile on his face: "It is worthy of Lin Shao, it is indeed a very complete and feasible plan." Lin Shao should have seen Qiu Dong a few days ago, but he was very impressed by Lin Shao. When he called me over today to inquire about the company's situation, he repeatedly told me that a talent like Lin Shao should not only be used, but also reused. It seems that I only arranged a position of assistant to the president for Lin Shao before, which is still a bit too condescending. In this way, Lin Shao, Xinya is now an empty shelf, except for me and Zheng Sheng, there are gaps in the management to be recruited, so it is inevitable that there will be shortcomings. I will now reappoint you as 'Executive Director', and you will be in charge of all three functions of the company's publicity, public relations and distribution until more suitable managers are recruited. I also think this plan is very feasible, so it's up to you to do it. Of course, it's no problem if you want to recruit people, but considering the bad situation of New Asia now, what do I mean, it's better to only recruit four or five people first, and wait until the finances are better in the future, and then we will consider a large-scale expansion, what do you think? ”

When his words fell, Lin Xiaozhi's eyes on the opposite side had completely narrowed into two arcs.
