Volume 1 Chapter 81 Color is emptiness
“…… You guys light it up and put the water on the water dispenser next to it! ”
In Lin Xiaozhi's office, the door was wide open. Zhou Huimin cautiously stretched out his head to take a look, and then explained a few words softly, and asked the two young Xinya staff to put the pure water that had just arrived on tiptoe on the water dispenser in his office. This movement naturally existed, but after receiving her special advice, the two Xinya staff were also very cautious, and they did not alarm Lin Xiaozhi, who was sitting in front of the computer, while swallowing clouds and spitting fog, while frowning and crackling on the keyboard.
Lin Xiaozhi's office is terrifying these days. After changing the water, the two of them walked out quickly on tiptoe, as if they were afraid to make any more noise.
"Secretary Zhou, we got ...... ready"
"Thank you for your hard work...... Zhou Huimin smiled and thanked her, and then glanced at Lin Xiaozhi, who was still sitting in front of the computer crackling and knocking, but walked in by herself.
Lin Xiaozhi's office is usually organized by her. However, in the past week or so, I don't know what kind of wind the young Mr. Lin has in his head, he comes earlier than anyone else every day, gets off work later than anyone else, and sits in front of the computer for more than ten hours almost every day, constantly tapping on the keyboard and doesn't know what Lu Dao is writing. In the past few days, others have entered his office, and the movement is a little bigger, and it is inevitable that he will be reprimanded, that is, she has ordered that he should not enter the office without his permission.
But despite this order, she still had to clean his office, empty the cans of cigarette butts and ashes that were quickly piled up, make him a refreshing cup of coffee, and help him open the doors and windows to dissipate the breathless smell of smoke in the office.
“…… It's finally done......"
A loud laugh full of surprise opened the window in shock, and Zhou Huimin, who was helping him make coffee, trembled his hand and almost beat the coffee that had just been filled. She turned around to take a look, but found that Lin Xiaozhi stood up as if he hadn't noticed her, fiddling back and forth in front of the computer and the printer for a while, and after a while, she heard a buzzing sound of the printer, and then a piece of paper full of handwriting spit out from the printer.
"Color is Emptiness"?
Zhou Huimin's eyes froze, she heard the sound of the printer starting, she subconsciously looked in that direction, and happened to see the only four words on the first page of the printer printed out of the paper.
What is it?
Her heart was full of doubts, could it be a movie script? Or did he create it himself?
For a moment, doubts filled her heart, but unfortunately no one could answer her.
The Olympic storm comes and goes fast. After the Seoul Olympics came to an end on October 2, like the mainland Olympic delegation that returned to China and began to set off a wave of reflection, the Hong Kong delegation, which also did not perform well, also returned to Hong Kong, but they were greeted not by review and accusation, but by applause and flowers. Unlike the mainland and Taiwan delegations, which only focus on the number of gold medals and glory, the 'rabble' formed by a group of enthusiasts selected purely from amateur professionals in Hong Kong obviously knows how to enjoy the fun of sports.
With the end of the Olympic Games, the first leg of the ATV TVB Supremacy Competition, which has been huge since the beginning of the year, has officially come to an end. The Hong Kong media, which had been hyping up the topic for months, seemed to have lost interest, and immediately turned their pen to a new topic: the Hong Kong government announced on October 5 the establishment of a 'Provisional Hospital Authority', which will consider taking over all public hospitals in Hong Kong and providing limited surprise guarantees for illegal immigrants of mainland, Vietnamese and Southeast Asian descent.
When the news came out, the entire Hong Kong community was boiling. Although the Hong Kong government's policy has been supported by millions of immigrants who have entered Hong Kong through irregular channels, it has been strongly criticized by more xenophobic Hong Kong citizens and legislators. Politician Lee Chu-min, a non-official member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council, who is also a member of the Hong Kong Law Reform Commission and the chairman of the Hong Kong Consumer Council, openly criticized the Hong Kong government: "...... Taking taxpayers' money and not doing business, once the government takes over public hospitals and gives resources that belong to all Hong Kong citizens to illegal immigrants who should be forcibly repatriated, it will only cause more and more locusts to flood Hong Kong......"
All of a sudden, the newspapers were clamoring about whether the Hong Kong government should tilt public resources toward illegal immigrants. In addition to the major financial editions still staring at the collapse of Taiwan's stock market, and the entertainment editions are staring at the sparks of scandal between Ni Zhen, the son of Ni Mad and Li Jiaxin, one of the four great talents of Xiangjiang, and Li Jiaxin, the champion of Miss Hong Kong this year, no one noticed that on October 9, the third film "Can't Help It" invested and filmed by New Asia Film Production Company held a low-key start-up ceremony under the leadership of He Fan, a well-known director of erotic films, and started the filming of the film.
Although the opening ceremony of "Can't Help It" did not alarm the vast majority of the media, there are still some people who have been paying attention to New Asia's every move and discovered the start of this movie. Like what...... Now sitting in Lin Xiaozhi's office, Qiu Yueqing and Qiu Yuru.
Lin Xiaozhi stretched his waist hard, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, his eyes moved away from the new script on the table that had just completed the proofreading, and looked at Qiu Yueqing and Qiu Yuru, who had been sitting on the side and waiting for a while. With a warm smile on his face as always, he didn't seem to have any dissatisfaction with the fact that they had formed a group before and wanted to ask for a big contract from him or Xinya.
“…… You two can hold on better than I thought, I thought you would come over after the company signed a contract with Miss Ye......"
Qiu Yueqing's face was a little bitter, although her scheming was not as good as Ye Yuqing, she was also a woman with ideas and ambitions, at least much smarter than Qiu Yueqing. She was the one who came up with the idea to block the door to prevent Ye Yuqing from coming to see him that day, and she was the first to propose that the three of them advance and retreat together and exchange a big contract together. It's just that she miscalculated Ye Yuqing's position in Lin Xiaozhi's film planning map, and even miscalculated Ye Yuqing's decisiveness, and she didn't expect that after she signed a new movie with Xinya, she could hide it from them for so long, until a few days ago, she learned from Xinya that Ye Yuqing had signed a contract and won the role of the heroine of the new movie "Can't Help It", which made the two of them hate it behind their backs, but they had to bow their heads to see Lin Xiaozhi.
As he said before, he has only starred in one erotic film, and all the limelight in the movie has been stolen by Ye Yuqing, and he wants to get a big contract immediately, how can there be such a good thing in the world. Most of the film companies that contacted them had requirements. Even if there are really fools who give a salary of three or four hundred thousand, either implying that they need some 'returns', or someone explicitly states that the investors want to 'be friends' and 'social' with them, and the invitations to them are all standard erotic films, and several directors contacted by the two have resolutely rejected their request to use naked substitutions in the film, and bluntly told them that they must 'go into battle'.
There is no stimulation of material returns, there are many requirements and there are unspoken rules, so it is better to calculate the conditions given by Xinya, which is also the reason why the two of them tossed for so many days, and ran back in the last gloomy.
“…… Lin Shao......" Qiu Yuru shouted sweetly, learning that Ye Yuqing directly changed his name.
But he didn't want Lin Xiaozhi to hear these two words, so he waved his hand without being cold: "It's okay to call me Lin Sheng or Mr. Lin, don't call me Lin Shao...... Two Miss Qiu, I still say the same thing, I have only acted in one play, don't put yourself too high when you hear a few words. The box office of the movie "I'm Crazy for Qing" has not exceeded 10 million, and recently I listened to the meaning of Meiya, the videotape is local in Hong Kong, and the reservation has just been more than 20,000 copies, of course, the final result will not be known until after the videotape is released. If others don't say it, I'll just say Wu Junru, she entered the TVB artist training class at the age of 16, and in 83 years, she filmed dramas such as "Dou Qi Family" and "Wrong Marriage" and then transferred to the film industry, and now she has received more than a dozen large and small movies, and the salary is only about 300,000. ”
got up and poured a glass of pure water for the two of them, Lin Xiaozhi sat down against his desk, still smiling on his face: "You may be dissatisfied and think that Wu Junru is not as young and beautiful as you." Indeed, but the acting skills of the two are far worse than her. New Asia is not a ruthless film company, on the contrary, since I took over New Asia, I have tried my best to build a film company with a human touch......"
Turning around, he took two more contracts from the table, the same two that had been prepared for them before, and Lin Xiaozhi handed them to the two again, "The contract is still the same as before, but I have a suggestion." If I were you, I would consider choosing a salary plus box office dividends. Both I and New Asia are more confident in the new movie, and it is conservatively estimated that the investment in this film will reach more than 4 million or even 5 million, not within 2 million as mentioned before...... As for whether to sign or not, there is not much time left for the two of them to think about it, and I would like to inform the two of you that we will start filming the next film in early November at the latest......"
The new script Lin Xiaozhi has been prepared, which is also the reason why his attitude towards the two girls has suddenly changed for the better. It's just that his movie is strictly speaking a movie dressed as a young erotic film, and it needs a lot of female stars who can show their energy at critical times. Although the two of them have acting skills or not, they only have a little fame, and they can't stand being beautiful, and such a vase is exactly what he needs for the new movie he is preparing.
Sure enough, after being hung out for a while, the little bit of caution of these two Miss Qiu was almost grinded. The two took turns to fight, and after testing Lin Xiaozhi for a while, they found that it was impossible to get a higher contract from New Asia, so they finally asked him for a contract to sign. However, they didn't listen to Lin Xiaozhi's guidance, and they all signed the 300,000 salary contract.
The front foot just sent the two away, and before he had time to catch his breath, Zhou Huimin led Ye Weixin to walk in from the outside, this Ye Weixin has been waiting for his new movie since the beginning of September, and he has been waiting for more than a month, and now he finally got his phone notification, almost as soon as he received the call, he immediately rushed over!
“…… Mr. Lin, I heard that the script is out? ”
"Hehe, Producer Ye, you're not slow to come, yes, the script is out!" Lin Xiaozhi looked at him with a smile, "What to drink......
"No, where is the script, can you let me read it first?" Impatiently, Ye Weixin refused to drink something, and went straight to the point to read the script!
"Absolutely!" Lin Xiaozhi was not reluctant, he directly opened the drawer, handed him the script that had been prepared a long time ago, and glanced at Zhou Huimin, who was standing aside and had not yet come out, and nodded at her with a smile: "Miss Zhou, can you help me make a cup of coffee?" ”
Although there is only instant coffee in his office, in the past half a month, he has been able to drink the coffee she brewed by herself every day, and I don't know if it is an illusion, Lin Xiaozhi always feels that she is very good at brewing coffee.
"It's good, Mr. Lin ......"
