Chapter 307: Night Visit to Qiu's House and Coping with the Embarrassment
Hong Kong's bustling city is even brighter at night, with rows of skyscrapers lit up and traffic rolling downstairs. Sun Ziming stood by the window, looking at the bustling night scene, and felt that he understood David and set up his office on the highest floor. From this point of view, the traffic on the street looks like ants.
After sorting out everything, Sun Ziming said: "Ah Ying, find out the tea and tea set that Ah Ling sent over last time, and you accompany me to visit Old Man Xiaqiu." ”
"Yes"
Gao Ying hurriedly found two plain porcelain tea cans from the bookcase, as well as a set of Jingdezhen white porcelain tea sets, and the two went to Asia TV to meet Director Xu Xiaoming, and took advantage of the night to go to Qiu's house in Tsuen Wan.
Sun Ziming glanced at the courtyard under the moonlight, if the Xu family's mansion reveals wealth, and the Huo mansion reveals the atmosphere, then this old man Qiu's home reveals practicality and simplicity. It can be seen that this self-made old man Qiu still maintains the frugality when he started.
After a while, Sun Ziming, under the leadership of Director Xu, met the legendary rich man who was making tea, "Director Sun (Qiu Ye) is good"
After the two of them had a chat, Sun Ziming took the gift from Gao Ying and said with a smile: "Master Qiu, this is a gift specially brought to you from the mainland, the tea set of West Lake Longjing and Jingdezhen, I hope you can like it." ”
The energetic old man Qiu took the gift with his own hands, turned around and handed it to the eldest son Qiu Lihe behind him, and then toasted a cup of tea with both hands, "Mr. Sun is polite, I heard that Mr. Sun is also a good tea person, how about tasting this tea?" ”
Sun Ziming took the tea cup with both hands, the soup color was yellow and green tea fragrant, and he took a sip of the sweet aftertaste, and exclaimed: "Good tea, a bit like the ancient hairy tip of my hometown." ”
Old Man Qiu smiled and said: "Mr. Sun is amazing, this is what the dog brought back from the inside, it really deserves to be 'only talented'!" ”
"Qiu Ye bothered"
The two tasted tea and chatted for a while, and Sun Ziming pretended to have no intention of pulling two sentences of Asia TV's "Huo Yuanjia", "Master Qiu, when this TV series was screened in the mainland, it was really amazing. At that time, I happened to be on summer vacation, and the whole township had a TV set in the township government, and at eight o'clock in the evening, it was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside, and there were thousands of people watching it. ”
Old Man Qiu smiled knowingly and pointed at Xu Xiaoming, "Yes, after Ah Ming and them were filmed, when they were broadcast on TV, the ratings reached 31%, which pressed TVB for a month." TV series are similar to movies, they all have a good script first, and then have a good director and good actors. Hey, now TV series are not easy to film, and the better actors are going to the film industry one by one, and the rest are difficult to pick. ”
This is not a good way for Sun Ziming, with the current movie market, TVB's popular Xiaosheng and Hua Dan would rather play supporting roles in movies, let alone artists from Asia Television?
Old Man Qiu was calm, but Qiu Lihe behind him couldn't, "Director Sun, your company's production strength is second to none in Hong Kong, can we cooperate?" You help us make the TV series, we provide you with a screening platform, and everyone can get what they need. ”
Old Man Qiu glared at his eldest son quietly, who was in his forties, and he still didn't know the city government like this. However, this is a good proposal, and the young man is in full swing, and if the two sides can cooperate, he will not have to take the TV station out. Sun Ziming looked at the pale Qiu family with a smile, he is worthy of being a tiger father without a dog, but is it possible to give him the dominance?
"Uncle He, the profit of the TV series is too small, even if we shoot it, the TV station may not be willing to buy it."
Old Man Qiu sighed, "Yes, making movies is too profitable now, and the TV station can't afford such a high cost." Mr. Sun, drink tea. ”
Sun Ziming took a sip of tea knowingly, got up and said goodbye, "It's not too early, Master Qiu, Uncle He, let's leave first." ”
"Lihe, Ah Ming, send Mr. Sun and Miss Gao."
……
Sun Lei drove back to Hong Kong quickly, Sun Ziming and Gao Ying reversed the scene just now, "Ah Ying, let Xu Xiaoming do it." He was promised that if we could join ATV, he would be the next director, and that he would be given the appropriate share options to ensure that he would be the number two person in the station. ”
"Understood," Gao Ying agreed in a low voice, and stopped talking a little.
"What's wrong?"
Gao Ying hesitated and said in a low voice: "That Qiu Li was divorced three years ago, and after hearing that Ah Ling broke up with Xu Gongzi, he often sent her flowers and took the initiative to order tea from her. ”
Sun Ziming's fingers quickly tapped on the seat a few times, "Xiao Lei, send A-Ying home first." ”
"Yes"
After a while, Sun Lei drove Gao Ying to the door of the house, and glanced at Gao Ying who got out of the car, "Fifth uncle, I heard that Qiu Lihe is a famous playboy, is this appropriate?" ”
Sun Ziming smiled dumbly, this cousin and nephew who was older than himself had been killed but still kept simple, "Xiao Lei, there is nothing in this world that can be obtained without hard work, and if you want to gain something, you will inevitably lose something." ”
……
The next day, as expected, last night Gao Ying released the photos of the 300 million Hong Kong dollars distributed in public, and as she wished, she squeezed out the front pages of the entertainment pages of the major newspapers that should have been "Tomb Raider" and "Truant Dragon", and even the financial pages came to join in the excitement from time to time.
The photos that make people look blushing and the smiling faces next to the money pile make people feel the magic of wealth.
'Qianshan - Light and Shadow Company is arrogant'
'Behind the award, the most humanistic Hong Kong company'
"Hong Kong's Most Valuable Non-Listed Company - Light and Shadow Film Company"
'The nouveau riche way'
'Sensational Light and Shadow Company'
Titles like these occupy a prominent position in the newspaper, and Sun Ziming glanced at the headlines and went straight to the second page.
'Tomb Raider Opens the Future of Hong Kong Women's Action Cinema'
Hong Kong movies' kung fu movies and action movies have always been men's world, even if a masterpiece like "Royal Sister" comes out, it is just an embellishment among many classics. "Tomb Raider" is different, Miss Huang Yanqiu plays Ah Qiu, with her skills that are not weaker than men, she supports the ...... of the whole film - "Oriental Daily"
'Tomb Raider Opens Up a New Genre of Hong Kong Cinema – Female Adventure Films' – Overseas Chinese Daily
'The Thoughts Behind 'Tomb Raider' – Ming Pao
A skilled female archaeologist, a fantastical adventure where the good guys will triumph over the bad guys, that's what this movie is all about. If you look at it from the perspective of a movie, this movie is no different from an ordinary action movie in terms of plot, it is all about good guys fighting bad guys, and good guys will definitely win. From a technical point of view, Mr. Chung's cinematography skills make the film picture beautiful, which can be described as an outlier in Hong Kong films, which makes people's hearts shake. If you detach yourself from these things, from a cultural point of view, it is thought-provoking.
Beautiful appearance, sexy body, tough and rebellious, this is Ah Qiu, which completely subverts our impression of traditional oriental women. If we really want to find a similar one among the people we know, it may only be more than half a century ago.
…… In the future, women will definitely play an increasingly important role in society and play more social roles .......
Sun Ziming looked at the author, Yishu? Oh, the woman who wrote novels about women's emotions was bitter and unmarried in her life. No wonder she would tout a commercial film with no connotation so much! Sun Ziming looked for comments on "Truant Weilong" again, and the woman's evaluation on "Ming Pao" can be described as hitting the nail on the head - 'red flowers lining green leaves', the only value of Zhou Xingxing's little red flower is to set off Wu Mengt's super green leaves. This woman is really powerful, although it is sour, it shows the gap between the two movies.
……
After probably browsing the newspapers, there was a knock on the office door, and Gao Ying sent a box office statistics table. Last night, 33 theaters in the light cinema line scheduled the film "Truant Weilong", with a total box office of 1.45 million in the two nights. Looking at this result alone, you will think that this is a super box office blockbuster, but unfortunately this is a film that is destined to lack stamina.
Sun Ziming glanced at the statistical table, and sighed secretly in his heart, "Truant Weilong" must be a loss, but it is better to lose better, to be able to get by, "Ah Ying, you are an expert in this area, is there any way?" ”
Gao Ying said in a low voice: "Those photos can last for two or three days, and then we will hype the benefits of our ordinary employees, and then hype the screenplay and storyboard script of "Tomb Raider", which is estimated to attract the attention of most people after three rounds." ”
Sun Ziming himself thought about it, Gao Ying's method may be the most suitable, as long as it attracts everyone's attention, the embarrassment of his company will not be so conspicuous, "Well, you can do this and help me call Uncle Zeng over." Forget it, call Manager Zhang of the public relations department in. ”
"Yes"
Sun Ziming is now very dissatisfied with the public relations department, and Zhang Hongsheng also participated in yesterday's summary meeting. The dilemma that the company is about to face, and he, as the manager of the public relations department, can't come up with any way? If you have to deal with everything by yourself and Uncle Zeng, why do you have to support him, the public relations manager with an annual salary of 300,000 yuan? It's just that he, the manager of the public relations department, was invited by Uncle Zeng from TVB, and he worked as Aunt Fang's assistant, so he has to look at the face of the Buddha if he doesn't look at the monk's face.
After a while, there was a knock on the door, and it was not Manager Zhang but Uncle Zeng, who was still holding a folder in his hand, and his face was a little not good-looking. Sun Lei, who was outside, came in, helped Uncle Zeng make a cup of tea, and went out to close the door with a very eye-catching look.
Uncle Zeng handed the folder to Sun Ziming and said in a deep voice: "Ziming, I want to demote Zhang Hongsheng to an ordinary clerk." ”
Sun Ziming opened the folder and signed Guo Jing's promotion order, "Uncle Zeng, you invited him from TVB, isn't it okay to do too much?" Why don't you bang bang bang first? ”
Uncle Zeng was silent for a while, but still shook his head, "Ziming, it's useless." He was not satisfied with the treatment given to him by the company, and complained in private. After the celebration banquet two days ago, when he and the people in the public relations department had supper, he took a bonus of 600,000 yuan to Guo Jing, but he only had 300,000 yuan, and said a lot of strange things. Later, when I talked to him, he still felt justified in thinking that a manager could have a lower bonus than an ordinary employee. We can't keep such people! ”
Well? Sun Ziming frowned, this Zhang Hongsheng had already touched a taboo. The company gave him an annual salary of 300,000 yuan, which is already a high salary in the circle, and there are also a lot of bonuses.
However, I really didn't expect Uncle Zeng to turn his face, and he was ruthless enough! From a dignified manager to a clerk, isn't this forcing people to resign and saving the company from compensating him? Sun Ziming thought about it, shook his head and said, "Uncle Zeng, just find an excuse to fire him and make this matter bigger, how big can you do!" ”
