Chapter 182: The Dark Shadow Behind the Light (Part II)
Li Chengkai is right, the company does have something, and it is a very urgent matter.
When Sun Ziming and Yang Guozhong drove downstairs to the company's dormitory, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and Guo Jing was sitting in the tea room opposite waiting for them, and a young man with a small figure was sitting next to him. Seeing that Sun Ziming was coming, Guo Jing hurriedly pulled the young man and trotted over and got into the car.
"Brother Ming, this is Guo Hong, my classmate of Beiying, he is from Guangdong. After graduating, he came to Hong Kong and is now the editor of Cinema Fortnightly, where he participated in the counting of votes for the anonymous voting for best photography. ”
As soon as Sun Ziming heard this, he quickly closed all the windows and asked Yang Guozhong in the passenger cab to drive.
"Guozhong, drive to a place where no one is. Guo Hong, tell me carefully. ”
Guo Hong looked at Yang Guozhong and saw that Sun Ziming was not unusual, so he said in a low voice: "I guessed this, don't take it too seriously." ”
Sun Ziming nodded, no matter what, people always gave themselves a good wind.
Voting for the Academy Awards is indeed anonymous, and all the judges vote in a uniform envelope, which is then handed over to a notary and editor to count the votes, and then sealed the results to the president of the jury.
"When we handed in the seals, I thought a couple of editors looked weird, and of course I couldn't have asked."
"Which ones? Can you tell me conveniently? ”
Guo Hong nodded and said in a low voice: "Best Newcomer, Best Screenwriter, Best Movie Song." ”
Sun Ziming looked at Guo Rui in shock, these three awards are newspapers, magazines, radio and television, and almost all the media think that there is no suspense in the award. The weirdness of the editors must have been that these awards were all out of their imagination. There is a deathly silence in the car, and if tomorrow is really as Guo Rui guessed, the entire Hong Kong film industry will be earthquake.
After being silent for a long time, Sun Ziming said in a low voice: "Guozhong, let's go to the Guangzi shop." Guo Hong, I invite you to drink and sing, I have to thank you well. ”
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Guo Hong's face, but he still nodded, Sun Ziming knew it in his heart, this is also a guy who can't afford to be early. The car soon arrived at the busy city of Tsim Sha Tsui, a nightlife paradise with bars and nightclubs, where people get drunk and die every day. The car turned to Hurd Road, and as soon as it stopped at the entrance of the Qili Nightclub, two parking boys came over.
"Brother Ming is good, Brother Zhong is good, Brother Guang asked me to pick you up."
Follow the parking boy inside, the interior is extremely gorgeous, the hall is bizarre, the music is deafening, and the dance floor is full of demons. I followed my little brother up to the third floor, which was much quieter, with sexyly dressed girls abounding, and occasionally drunken and hazy men carrying girls in and out of the private room.
Entering the private room, Guangzai hugged Yang Guozhong and began to slander each other for fun. After everyone drank for a while, under the dim light, Guo Jing went to sing, Sun Ziming excused himself to go to the bathroom, and Guangzai also followed.
"Find a waiter to go in and call Guo Jing out, I have something to ask her. In addition, bring me a red envelope of 50,000 yuan. ”
"Hey."
Guang Tsai led Sun Ziming to an inconspicuous lounge and called a passing waiter to guard the door. As soon as Sun Ziming finished smoking a cigarette, Guo Jing came, with excitement on his face, and it seemed that he had just sung high.
"Tell me about this Guo Hong."
"Hey."
The two are in temporary classes at school, and because they have the same surname, the relationship is not bad. After graduating, she broke off contact because of the different sides of the world, and later after she came to Hong Kong, the two got in touch again. Today, I specially called her and invited her to dinner and told her these things.
"This kid used to be a shrewd kind when he was in school, right?"
Guo Jing's face turned red and he snorted: "Well, he wants to come to our company." ”
Hmph, this kid's head is sharpened enough, but it's a pity that no boss likes such a person. Sun Ziming pointed to the envelope on the coffee table and said in a low voice: "When the end of the show, give him this." Tell him that the company is not hiring people now. ”
Guo Jing didn't understand a little, Sun Zi Ming took care of people from the mainland, why didn't he want his classmates, and they also revealed such important news.
"Today he can sell their magazine, but tomorrow?"
Yes? Guo Jing came to her senses, picked up the envelope and stuffed it into her bag, Sun Ziming smiled: "Everyone is classmates, and they are all mixed in the same circle, the relationship must be good, but you must have a long heart." ”
Not long after Guo Jing left, Sun Ziming went in to say hello to everyone and asked Guangzai to send a car to take him back to the company. When he arrived at the door of the company, to Sun Ziming's surprise, there were still people working overtime, does a film company need to work overtime at night?
"Ah Ying? Why haven't you gone back yet? ”
Sun Ziming pulled down the books on her desk, all of which were business administration and the like.
"Brother Ming, why are you back? Oh, I want to learn how to run a business, it's too noisy in the apartment. ”
Sun Ziming smiled slightly, successful people have their own reasons for success, no wonder she can stand out from the fierce competition TVB.
"Go boil some water, and wait for Uncle Zeng and Brother Jing to come over."
Sun Ziming returned to the office and pondered for a while, but he couldn't think of a reason. When Gao Ying helped him make tea, he remembered another thing and asked in a low voice: "Ah Ying, Jiaming gives you a commission, why don't you want it?" ”
"Brother Ming, what kind of negotiation is that, besides, it's not a regular thing, just take it as a help."
Sun Ziming joked with a smile: "Oh? How much is it in Zhilu Dao? ”
Gao Ying also smiled and said, "It should be 70,005, right?" Brother Ming, if it's a red envelope of a few thousand yuan, I will take it. Take so many sentences in two or three sentences, I won't be able to sleep at night. ”
Sun Ziming gave a thumbs up, Jiaming is really inexperienced in this kind of thing, and he can't grasp the proportions of reward. Well, this Gao Ying can not have half a year's salary, and she is also a person who is not greedy.
"Wait for our meeting, you can listen and have any suggestions."
Gao Ying was stunned for a moment, and replied in a low voice, "Yes, Brother Ming." ”
Ten minutes later, Uncle Zeng and Brother Jing came, and after Gao Ying closed the door, she sat at the desk.
"What? , something big is going to happen this time! ”
As soon as Wang Jing heard it, he scolded it, several awards that have no suspense will have problems, and those with competition are even more unreliable, and the company will go home empty-handed! Gao Ying looked at Sun Ziming in shock, if this is the case tomorrow, there will be an earthquake in the entertainment industry. Even Uncle Zeng, who knew a little bit of the inside story, didn't expect this, originally thought that it was just a competitive award, and the judges were just engaged in tendentious voting.
There was silence in the office for a while, and Uncle Zeng first shook his head and said, "Ziming, something is wrong, maybe someone wants to harm that Guo Hong." Everyone has to eat in this circle, and no one will risk the world's condemnation and make the Academy Awards stink. ”
Sun Ziming's hand holding the teacup trembled, he thought about it, but he didn't think of this possibility. It seems that people who come out of large companies will be proficient in this kind of office politics.
The phone on the 'ringing' table rang, Gao Ying picked up the phone and asked a few words, covered the microphone and asked, "Brother Ming, there is a person named Guangzai looking for you." ”
Sun Ziming hurriedly got up to answer the phone, his face became darker and darker, and he said in a low voice: "Guangzai, don't make trouble, send someone to send him back, and pretend that he didn't hear anything." ”
After hanging up the phone, Sun Ziming said in a deep voice: "That Guo Hong was drunk, scolded me for not knowing gold and jade, and said that he was about to be promoted to team leader." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, people like Guo Hong are good at drilling, and his classmate Guo Jing is working under Sun Ziming, and nine times out of ten someone wants to use this relationship to harm him. It's not that one person wants to harm him, it's several people who want to harm him.
Wang Jing has his father's power in TVB, and he has never played this kind of game, so he blurted out: ", this person is too dirty, right?" If he really does it, this Guo Hong will inevitably fall on his heels! ”
Uncle Zeng and Gao Ying pretended not to hear it, and Sun Ziming also pretended not to hear it, this kind of thing happens everywhere, just to see who is playing smart. The front of the person is glamorous, but the back is dirty, which person who can climb to a certain position has not done it? Uncle Zeng coughed a few times and opened the topic: "Tomorrow, how are the fans' affairs going?" ”
Gao Ying looked at Sun Ziming, she was supposed to do this, but she let the boss rob it.
"My classmates will come, and it's not good to invite professional fans, and it's easy to show your feet. When the reporter finds out, it will definitely be hyped. ”
Wang Jing added: "Don't unify anything, the last time the new art city was too fake, even the placards were made in one store." ”
Sun Ziming didn't worry about these little things, and said casually: "It's okay, students like to do it themselves, and they will definitely do it when the time comes." ”
Wang Jing sighed, this is also a helpless thing, the company's background is not enough, and it is too jealous. released five movies and made Liu Jialing and Fengzi popular, but none of them were real idol stars. Don't look at the star-chasing power now, and the word 'star-chaser' has also come out. On a hot day, you have to grab a seat a few hours in advance, except for those idol stars who have this appeal, ordinary fans don't have this crazy energy! If you don't learn from other people's new art city, when the crew walks the red carpet tomorrow, they will have a lot of facelessness and shamelessness.
"Ziming, I didn't say you, I asked you to sign less, but you didn't listen. If there is tolerance, how can you play these, or you can sign Amei! ”
Sun Ziming smiled bitterly: "Brother Jing, can you open your mouth?" I can't open that mouth, why don't you open it? ”
Wang Jing closed that broken mouth, Hong Kong is so big, and all film companies are in fierce competition. If a top star like Rong Shao and them don't give shares to the company, who will sign a fixed film company?
Although Rong Shao and the others have a good relationship with Sun Ziming, if they really want to give shares to the company, Wang Jing and they will first oppose it, Rong Shao and Sister Mei are not superstars in terms of movies, and they don't have much box office appeal. Besides, as a last resort, which big star dares to bet his future on a company?
"Alright, let's disperse. Ah Ying, tomorrow my classmates' affairs, you can help take care of them. ”
"Yes."
