For those who are struggling from the bottom of society, it is an instinct to hold on to what has already been obtained. With Sun Ziming's intervention, even if he was unwilling, Yuan Mei did not hesitate to carry out his order and took the initiative to reconcile with Wang Jinghua.

However, Yuan Mei is not a fuel-efficient lamp, not only arranged for a few fresh faces to join the company as an agent, but also asked Guangzai to ask two people to stare at Wang Jinghua.

As for Sun Ziming, after careful consideration, he still gave up the idea of operating on the company. Now is not the best time, the film market in the mainland is not yet fully developed, and it is not yet possible to make directors mainland, so they can only rely on the current group of people. However, Sun Ziming also began to transform the company, and since these people are now overwhelmed, it is necessary to cultivate and introduce new talents.

Uncle Zeng, as Sun Ziming's most relied on and trusted deputy, just heard him say a few words, and knew that he wanted to reshuffle the light and shadow company. After hesitating for a while, Uncle Zeng was still afraid that Sun Ziming would make too many moves, so he suggested: "Ziming, have you ever thought about the diversification of the group's operations?" ”

Diversified? Isn't it just to take a salary from the bottom of the brokerage company, and then slowly transform the company, isn't it a change of soup or a change of medicine?

The night breeze in early spring brought a smell of sea, and Sun Zi looked at the bright lights slowly retreating from the yacht with a blank face, turned his head and asked, "Uncle Zeng, what do you want to say?" ”

Sighing secretly, Uncle Zeng, who was close to the sixtieth birthday, handed a cup of tea to Sun Ziming and reminded: "Ziming, I have no investment in Yuan Mei. ”

No?

Uncle Zeng's words reminded Sun Ziming that his group respected him very much, he was his subordinate in public affairs, but he regarded him as an elder in private affairs. Yuan Mei and Wang Fatzi want to take a hitchhiker, for the third brother and the eldest brother, they are business, but for Uncle Zeng, it is like a family matter.

'Hehehe', Sun Ziming smiled awkwardly, patted his head and said apologetically: "I'm used to thinking blindly in the United States, and I can't change it when I come back." ”

Uncle Zeng, a professional manager with traditional education and edification, did not mind Sun Ziming's suspicions, but agreed: "This is a good thing, the superior can never pin his hope on the loyalty of the lower." ”

Yes, loyalty is because the price of betrayal is not enough, Sun Ziming also sighed secretly, and said dejectedly: "Uncle Zeng, I was wrong at the beginning, and I didn't control it well." ”

Uncle Zeng took Sun Ziming's cigarette, took two puffs on his fire, and retorted: "I can't say wrong, no one has a front and back eye, how could I have thought that Shanlin and their company would develop so fast." If you didn't bring everyone to get rich, people's hearts would not be so united, and the company would not have developed so fast. ”

Yes, there must be a profit in everything, if there was no huge interest stimulus at the beginning, the gang under him would be so united? If everyone is not with their own hearts, how can they make light and shadow the overlord of the film and television industry in such a short period of time?

After smoking silently, Sun Ziming snuffed out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and insisted: "Uncle Zeng, the group cannot diversify, it can only focus on the film and television industry." If someone is left behind, there is no way I can stop and wait for him. ”

Uncle Zeng is better at dealing with complex interest relationships, and after a while, he still insisted: "Ziming, things are not as simple as you think. Although the Light and Shadow Group is controlled by you, it is the result of everyone's hard work, if the people's hearts are scattered, the light and shadow will become an empty shell.

If you want to transform the company, you can't be in such a hurry, you must first stabilize people's hearts! You asked Yuan Mei to reconcile with Wang Jinghua, and there were already different voices below. Don't forget, those people are human spirits. ”

"What sound?"

Uncle Zeng smiled bitterly for a while, and said in a low voice: "Ziming, do you want to support Wang Jinghua to contain Starlight, if Starlight deviates from your idea in the future, let Pickup replace it, right?" ”

There is nothing to hide this, the starlight has become too big to fall, if it continues to develop like this way, it is bound to be like Hollywood's CAA, relying on close interest relationships, anti-customer control of light and shadow companies. I can control Yuan Mei and Li Xiuman, but I can't control so many agents who are eager for wealth. If Starlight really goes that far, he will let the company take its place, and if he can't go that far, it will just set up an opponent for Starlight and contain its development.

Sun Ziming insisted on this, and Uncle Zeng had to admonish in a different way, "Ziming, if you really want to do this, then you must find a group of newcomers who can replace these old people." With all due respect, judging from the current situation, the level of mainland directors is still not as good as that of Hong Kong and Taiwan. ”

This matter is very troublesome, it's not that Sun Ziming doesn't want to, mainland directors have been pressed by Hong Kong and Taiwan directors, not a level problem but a system problem. In Hong Kong, as long as you can imagine it, you can shoot anything, and if you can't show it in the mainland, then sell it overseas. Mainland directors can only dance in shackles, so it is naturally difficult to produce good directors.

Artistic creation requires a free space, and if the scope of creation is limited, it is like a man being castrated. The creation still needs to be checked, and if it is not qualified, it will either be trimmed or directly banned, which will increase the cost and risk of the creative company a lot. Therefore, you can only shoot some themes that are not painful, the kind of themes that have no impact, and it is impossible to cultivate excellent directors.

Since the Light and Shadow Company stirred up the situation and opened up the mainland market for Hong Kong films, Hong Kong films have not only declined, but have become more and more prosperous. Many films cannot be released, so they enter the mainland through videotapes and VCDs, and still make a lot of money.

"Hey, it would be nice if mainland movies could be made into VCDs and distributed underground like Hong Kong films."

Uncle Zeng's sigh made Sun Ziming smile bitterly, how is this possible? In the mainland, cultural undertakings are regulated, and Hong Kong films can be distributed in the VCD market, because what is filmed is about Hong Kong and Taiwan, and it also reflects the problems of Hong Kong and Taiwan. If mainland movies do the same, it will be smearing the 'servants of the people', and you will have to let you shed your skin if you don't die!

Seeing that Sun Ziming smiled bitterly, Uncle Zeng persuaded again: "Then wait a little longer, don't be in such a hurry." ”

Wait? Sun Ziming can't afford to wait, the memory is not many years, if he doesn't completely consolidate the advantage of light and shadow before the memory disappears, it will inevitably let those rising stars fall to the ground in the future. Jiahe can overturn the Shaw Brothers, light and shadow can overturn Jiahe and Xinyicheng, and latecomers may not be able to overturn light and shadow! Century-old stores like MGM and Luen Mei will decline if they make a mistake, not to mention the light and shadow that has only been established for more than ten years?

It's just that there is no way to explain these words to Uncle Zeng, Sun Ziming can only find another way.

"Uncle Zeng, why don't you do this? I set up a film fund to support young directors to make films. ”

Hearing the strings and knowing the elegant meaning, Uncle Zeng saw that Sun Ziming had no radical meaning, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. As the most successful of Chinese directors, it is logical to set up a film fund to support young people, and it also gives a chance to young directors who are talented and have no chance. Film has always been the art of directing, and if you can discover a group of excellent young directors, it will be much easier to reinvent the company.

"Who do you want to take the lead?"

"Myself!"

Uncle Zeng pondered for a moment and suggested: "Ziming, I think it's better to let Director Feng Xiaogang do it, your current focus is still in the United States, and you probably don't have the energy and time." ”

"This is not good, if he does it, Wang Fatzi and Lao Mouzi will not have to scold their mother?"

Uncle Zeng was very sure of this, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll take care of them." ”
