Chapter 102: Riding in the Same Boat (Part II)
The wine at noon was very enjoyable, only Uncle Zeng and Sun Ziming drank almost and stopped drinking. Liu Weiqiang made Uncle Zeng look at each other, and also saved a little drink, and united with Lao Du to confuse Wang Jing and Chen Jiashang.
After eating, Liu Weiqiang paid the bill, and the two girls helped Wang Jing and Chen Jiashang, two drunken cats, to the hotel to rest. Uncle Zeng saw that Liu Weiqiang and Lao Du were carrying a girl, and quipped: "Don't you two go to rest?" ”
"No, you squeezed me to death last night!"
Several people laughed from ear to ear, the faces of several women turned red, and Sun Zi Mingqiang endured the pain in his waist without changing his face.
It is impossible not to gamble in Macau, eight people just made up two tables of mahjong, went to the hotel to open a suite, and waited for the two drunk cats while playing. Aunt Zeng and Hu Juan both knew that the four of them had something to discuss, so they took Liu Weiqiang and their female companions to play mahjong in the living room, and gave the mahjong room to the four men.
said that it was playing mahjong, but in fact, it was to discuss the company's affairs while everyone was there. Wang Jing and Chen Jiashang took over the filming of "God of Gamblers", but the script and sub-scenes are Sun Ziming's, how should the agreement between the two parties be signed?
This is indeed a bit troublesome, according to Lao Du's opinion, as long as you are paid according to the market, after all, Wang Jing is just doing his best, just shoot according to the storyboard script. Uncle Zeng was the first to object, now it is different from before, and the company must recruit more talents if it wants to develop, especially directors and screenwriters. If you want to recruit talents, you must have a good reputation!
"Wei Qiang, what do you think?"
Liu Weiqiang's method is very simple, the director's salary is half of the film, and the box office is divided into 60% of Sun Ziming. Sun Ziming glanced at Uncle Zeng, and the two exchanged glances.
"Okay, just do what Wei Qiang said. When they wake up, Wei Qiang will go and talk to them to see what they mean, and if they don't want to, we'll discuss it again."
While Lao Du was also there, Uncle Zeng asked him his opinion on joining the company and being in charge of the photography team. The 2% stake should be distributed to a group of people, which is too low for his apprentice Liu Weiqiang, after all, he is recognized as the number one photographer in Hong Kong. But they can't improve, because Sister Zhao and their skills department only take so many shares, and they have to share them with their subordinates.
"I have no opinion, in your words, this is the company's benevolence."
Lao Du has no opinion on the shares, but he has an opinion on the deduction of the shares from the dividends. His photography hobby is too expensive, and he has to deduct it according to the company's regulations, so how can he have the money to tinker with those new ideas? His subordinate Teacher Mu and them also have the same hobbies as him, so he asks for special treatment.
"Lao Du, you take the lead in sorting out the photographers' ideas, and the cost of these tests will be borne by the company. Uncle Zeng, other technical departments also handle it in this way."
Sun Ziming knows the importance of the innovation of behind-the-scenes techniques, otherwise why would Lao Du Weilu be recognized as 'Asia's No. 1 Photography' in the future?
"Okay, you can't be sloppy. Tomorrow I will go back to Hong Kong and make arrangements for this myself."
Uncle Zeng also agreed with this, and the success of "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" made him realize the importance of behind-the-scenes skills. The films have been released for half a year, and dozens of films from film companies of all sizes in Hong Kong have followed the trend, almost all of them have lost a mess, and the audience only recognizes Sun Ziming and Wang Jing as filming!
As soon as I heard that Sun Ziming and Wang Jing filmed "Human Meat Char Siu Bun" again, all the companies that wanted to shoot stopped preparations, that is, they repeated the mistake of following the trend of "Butcher on a Rainy Night".
"There is another matter that is the 'Script Review Committee', Wei Qiang, you talk to Wang Jing and the others, and let them join in."
"Okay, I'll tell them when we're done talking. It shouldn't be a big problem, Brother Jing originally had such an idea."
The script review committee member was Sun Ziming, who was transferred to the 'Light and Shadow' company according to the system of the American film company. The purpose is for a group of directors and screenwriters with commercial vision to check the selection of the company's film scripts.
The company should have a director with high artistic value like Wang Jiawei, but more importantly, a director of a commercial film. If a film company only focuses on artistic value, then unless it is a state-sponsored film studio in the mainland, it can use the people's money to support a group of so-called art masters.
After discussing the matter, the four of them began to play mahjong. This thing is indeed not Sun Ziming's strong point, and before he played a circle, he lost less than 3,000 Hong Kong dollars in his wallet.
"That's what you usually do?"
"I don't buy anything, why do I want so much money?"
Uncle Zeng smiled and echoed: "You don't have to buy anything, someone can buy everything for you!" ”
Liu Weiqiang and Lao Du also laughed with the thief, Li Jiaming's brows were already open, how can they be such flower veterans who don't know the meaning of the road? However, this also relieved them, so that Li Jiaxin's threat was completely out!
Don't borrow money or owe money on the table, this is the rule on the table, and Sun Ziming had to go to the outhouse to get the money. In the surprised eyes of the two young actors, Sun Ziming opened Hu Juan's purse and took a handful of banknotes into the room.
"Sister Juan, how old are they?"
"100's, Ziming plays small."
"How long has it been, and you've lost it all?"
"Cut, he'll never have more than 3,000 in his wallet!"
Hu Juan proudly added in her heart, this is the rule I gave! When a man has money, he spends his heart, but if he has no cash, how do I think he spends it? The money in the bank card is recorded, and this girl will know it when she checks it!
But as soon as she remembered the wrong thing she had done, Juanzi felt empty again. No, this girl can't come during this time, she has to hide from the limelight, it's the dead Xiaoqi, but it hurts me miserably!
Sun Ziming entered the room, put the money on the table and counted it.
"After losing 6400, I will call it a day".
"Cut, you're too picky!"
Liu Weiqiang and Lao Du were not satisfied when they heard it, and they had already made an exception for playing 100, this new billionaire could even play mahjong and set a quota for losing!
Uncle Zeng came to his senses and remembered that Sun Ziming had just divided the company's bonus into two cards, and he couldn't help laughing. Married men all over the world have the same unspeakable secrets!
"Uncle Zeng, stop laughing. If you laugh again, your jaw will fall! ”
"Hey, Ziming, have you spent half of your bonus?"
"Confidential!"
'Ha Lu Haha' The three of them all laughed, it seems that everyone is similar, big brother, don't laugh at the second brother!
played until about four o'clock in the afternoon, the two drunken cats finally woke up, just look at the blush on the faces of the two girls, you can know that neither of them has done anything good. Hu Juan couldn't help but secretly sigh in her heart, this circle is really messy.
In fact, the music world is similar, but Sister Mei and Rong Shao are protecting her, and after Sun Ziming breaks into the name, no one dares to beat her idea!
Uncle Zeng and Liu Weiqiang went to talk, Sun Ziming sat next to Juanzi and watched her play cards, and put the rest of the money back into her wallet, leaving only 3 thousand-yuan bills. Only then did the four little actors suddenly realize that those speculations were true, these two cousins were a couple, and they were the kind of cousins who could control their cousins!
"Sister Hong called just now and said that she was on the plane at four o'clock in the afternoon, and we should pick her up."
"Did you say anything?"
"Didn't you say last time that you found a girl with a good voice? My record got stuck, and she wanted to try someone else."
After looking at the time, there were still two hours before Sister Hong arrived, and Sun Ziming hurriedly called.
"Jiaming, you informed the last radio station week, what is the week, it's that DJ. Yes, Zhou Huimin, let her be at night".
After looking at Hu Juan's nine characters, Sun Ziming continued: "Let her go to the Warner recording studio at nine o'clock in the evening, and Sister Hong will come to audition for her at night."
After hanging up the phone, Hu Juan remembered what she had asked these four girls to fool today, and pointed at them.
"Ziming, do you think there are any roles suitable for them?"
When the four girls heard this, their eight eyes were staring at Sun Ziming, and the eagerness in their eyes could roast people.
Sun Ziming's heart tightened, this is not a good sign, this sign has to be extinguished. Fortunately, Hu Juan knew Sun Ziming's style of doing things, and kicked him below, indicating that she had accidentally let these four words trap her today.
Sun Ziming raised his eyes and looked at the four girls, only one of whom was photogenic. The other three look good-looking, but in fact, they are ordinary when they are on camera, so there is a saying that they are not photogenic.
"Yes, it just so happens that the company needs a few supporting roles for the next movie, and tomorrow you will go to our company to audition. However, let's talk about it first, the company has company rules, and if you can't get through, you can't blame me."
"Xie Lu Xie Sun Dao, Xie Lu Xie Juan Sister".
The conversation in the room was also over, and from the expression on Wang Fatzi's face, Sun Zi knew that they were very satisfied.
"Ziming, Xie Lu, thank you."
Wang Jing hugged Sun Ziming's shoulders and couldn't help thanking him, originally he thought that Sun Ziming could solve the agreement with Yongsheng for him, even if he repaid his favor. I didn't expect that I could get a big gift like a box office share, and this film will definitely be a big hit!
"Thanks! When I was filming "Home Alone", didn't you help me everywhere? ”
When it came to this, Wang Jing also sighed, at the beginning, he was very concerned about returning Zeng Xiang's favor, and he still had the background of borrowing others to break away from Yongsheng, but he didn't expect to get much more than he imagined!
"Jiashang, you have a good book, and you have your own ideas. Follow Brother Jing to work hard, and when you have the strength to direct alone, I will help you set up your own studio! ”
Wang Jing hurriedly interrupted, what are you kidding, this is his gold medal partner!
"Don't dream, there are only two people in our studio, do you still want to dig?"
"What's the matter, can you still pull people to jump into your fire pit for the rest of your life?"
Chen Jiashang smiled on the side: "Ziming, thank you for your love, I still like to follow Brother Jing, and I also have shares in the studio."
Well? This dead fat man has vision! It's no wonder that the films he made, although they have no artistic value, never lose money, relying on this vision of looking at people and the market!
After talking, everyone played until the evening and returned to Hong Kong, Sun Ziming and Uncle Zeng went to the airport, and Wang Jing and they went to arrange a party. Just wait for Zhang Hong to arrive, even if the main personnel of the company are all together, everyone will really sit in the same boat and eat in the same pot in the future.
