Chapter 259: Return
The meeting with Zhao Xingchi was completely unexpected for Wang Xuecheng, but when he analyzed that the man and woman wearing sunglasses were the pair of Zhao Xingchi and Qian Minli, Wang Xuecheng's originally calm heart suddenly beat a few times irregularly.
Wang Xuecheng is in his early forties this year, and when he is in the prime of life, the most intolerable thing is the loss of his career. Although he has just stepped down from the responsibility of the production director of ATV's program department, it seems that he has traveled to Gaul easily, but he has never forgotten to think about his future career journey in his heart.
In terms of his qualifications, working in a Chinese-language TV station is the best choice, although he can also mix in a high position if he goes to a foreign language TV station.
In Wang Xuecheng's plan, going north is a road, but instead of working in a TV station, he goes to a media company to find opportunities, or pulls a group of people to work alone. Wang Xuecheng leaned towards the latter.
Working for others, where is it easy to have your own decisions.
However, Wang Xuecheng also knows that it is not so easy to do it alone, especially when he is not familiar with the mainland market, so based on practical considerations, Wang Xuecheng chose to work for others, and he is also positioned as a "manager".
Seeing Stephen Zhao, Wang Xuecheng immediately knew that this was a good opportunity for him!
People in the mixed Chinese entertainment industry know Stephen Zhao. Although many people don't think that Stephen Zhao has much influence in the circle, they can't deny Stephen Zhao's huge potential. When most people make a conclusion about Stephen Zhao, they think that if there is no accident, within ten years, Stephen Zhao will grow into a giant in the circle.
What's more, Stephen Zhao's core identity is a writer!
Joining forces with Stephen Zhao, Wang Xuecheng believes it will be a wonderful thing.
Looking at the Red Star Media founded by Stephen Zhao, the structure is huge, but there is a serious lack of talents, not only the lack of actors, singers, and directors. There is also a shortage of professional management talents, such as TV drama producers and film producers.
Wang Xuecheng believes that it is inevitable that he will be reused when he enters Red Star Media with his ability.
Although it may be a bit low to join Red Star Media with his current status, the icing on the cake is never as good as charcoal in the snow, and Wang Xuecheng has not been too proud.
To his disappointment. On the plane, Stephen Zhao just chatted with him briefly for a while, not only did he not reveal the intention of soliciting him, but also did not talk about things in the circle.
Wang Xuecheng thought at first that Zhao Xingchi wanted to capture the old people, but on the second and third days, Zhao Xingchi never looked for him, and he immediately figured it out. Stephen Zhao really didn't mean to recruit him!
"Is Stephen Zhao's vision so high?" Wang Xuecheng thought half unwillingly and half mockingly.
"Darling, I see you've been frowning all the time, do you have something on your mind? Why don't you go out for a trip next time and take care of things first? His wife, Lu Jieying, asked him worriedly.
Wang Xuecheng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, I've figured it out, let's continue to travel!" ”
Lu Jieying didn't know what he had figured out, she had always only asked her husband about work. So I put this matter behind me and turned to babbling about where I was going to play next.
……
In Europe. Zhao Xingchi and Qian Minli stayed for six days, first in Gaul, then in Yiduli, and finally in Hans. After the end, the two went to the evil American imperialism and spent two days in American imperialism Hollywood.
Things to do in Europe. The main thing is to experience the customs of Europe and their so-called history.
In addition to experiencing the customs and customs of the United States, the main thing is to observe Hollywood up close, see the film industry of the United States, and meet the stars of the United States by the way.
Duration. There is no bloody conflict and face slapping drama.
The locals are not enthusiastic, but they are not cold either, but after money opens the way, everyone becomes enthusiastic, and they almost treat the two as if they were their own father and mother. This is common to the world, and anyone can get along with anything, but no one can get along with money.
Exotic, at first glance it is still very amazing and tasteful, but after watching it for a long time, it's just like that.
Stephen Zhao's deepest experience is still the Hollywood film industry, although two days is only enough for him to see the flowers, but through the daily life of Hollywood, the information that can be accessed is enough for him to see the strong power hidden behind.
The star was not seen, and Stephen Zhao did not show his identity to contact any film company.
After ten days of traveling around the world, the two finally returned to China.
As soon as he got off the plane in the magic capital, Zhao Xingchi breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, and felt a lot more at ease, as if the country was exceptionally safe. He knew that it was just his delusion.
Someone from the company came to pick up the airport, it was his assistant Miss Lin Meijia.
"Welcome back!" When picking up the airport, Lin Meijia very formally loosened a bouquet of flowers for the two, which made Zhao Xingchi speechless, but this feeling was very good, and he felt a little joy in his heart.
The next day, Stephen Zhao and Qian Minli walked into the company together and began to enter the working state.
The company's affairs, with Han Minzhong in charge, everything was in order, and after reading the report, Stephen Zhao put it aside and began to prepare for the filming of the two-part film series of "Smiling Proud Jianghu".
The filming team had already completed it before, and they only waited for him to give an order to go to Hengdian, so what was missing now was just a start-up ceremony.
"When will it turn on?" Qian Minli asked.
"It's set on the 1st of next month, and strive to be able to go to next year's New Year." Stephen Zhao said.
"Okay, I'll let you know." Qian Minli nodded.
The reason why it is said to be next year's Chinese New Year is that the shooting of 3D movies is very time-consuming, and it can't be shot at all in a year or two. "Painted Skin" started filming in April, but now in October, it has only been filmed for a third of the entire six months, which shows the long filming time.
Movies are indeed very profitable, but they are also risky, and the risk lies in this.
With a filming time of up to one or two years, with such a large investment, it is still unknown whether it will be a blockbuster after the finale, can the risk not be great? If you make a good job, everyone is happy; If you lose, it's miserable, everyone has to be unlucky, not only the crew is unlucky, the director is unlucky, the actors are unlucky, the investment company is even more unlucky, and even the film company that goes bankrupt because of a movie loss.
In Beijing, after receiving the start-up news from Red Star Media Company, Zhou Bing's resentment for several months finally dissipated, and his hanging heart also fell, and he pursed his lips and smiled: "It's finally turned on, it's not easy!" ”
Hengdian, Luo Ye, who is still daring to shoot the TV series "Smiling Proud Jianghu", also breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "It seems that I have passed the test, and it is not in vain for me to act in a TV series!" "You must know that Luo Ye has only acted in movies since his debut, and has never acted in a TV series, and the TV series "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is the first one he has acted.
Zhao Xingchi, who is in the company, of course, doesn't know the thoughts of the two protagonists, after Qian Minli left, he turned on the computer and logged in to his scarf and blog.
After going to Gaul, he never used the Internet again, and he never even turned on the computer.
Stephen Zhao landed on his scarf first, and the entire page was filled with "Where is the star master?" In this sentence, the team is very neat, and no one is in line. Looking at the time again, looking through the messages in the past, these guys actually queued for five days in a row! There is also the real content of the comments of the previous four days.
"Where did Xing Ye go? It can't be missing! ”
"Master Xing, where is your festival? Why did "The True Story of Ah Q" only come to a prologue and then be interrupted? ”
"Call the police, Xing Ye is estimated to have been kidnapped, but foreign countries are living in dire straits, and you can get a large ransom for kidnapping Xing Ye."
"Hey, it's been four days, and there is no news from Xingye, this day is too boring, and the days without Xingye are really not days!"
……
Looking at these messages, Zhao Xingchi couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly sent a scarf out: "I have returned safely, don't read it!" In addition, "The True Story of Ah Q" resumes updating today! ”
The scarf went out for a few seconds, and Stephen Zhao refreshed the page, and a netizen named "I am Mrs. Zhao" snatched the sofa away: "Rub, the star master himself appeared?" No matter, grab the sofa first. ”
Half an hour later, the news of "Stephen Zhao's return" spread all over the Internet, and netizens came to watch him strongly, and his scarf was constantly forwarded, more than 100,000 times!
Stephen Zhao smiled and turned to open the blog page, where the preface of the first chapter of "The True Story of Ah Q" was lying quietly, and below it were countless comments.
Stephen Zhao looked through it, and many comments did not surprise him.
For example, when he guessed that he deliberately wrote "The True Story of Ah Q" because of the "Inland Locust Incident", analyzed what "The True Story of Ah Q" was talking about, and tasted the prototype ...... of characters such as "Mrs. Zhao" and "Ah Q" in real life, etc., he had long known that the Tao would be turned out by the vast number of netizens.
The only thing that caught his eye was the comment of a netizen with the screen name "Daqiao Bugong", in which he boldly guessed: "Ah Q should be more than as simple as shown in this prologue, there should be a deeper meaning, I think Stephen Zhao should want to harshly criticize the weakness of human nature through Ah Q." Let's start with the style of the prologue......"
"Daqiao does not work" explains why he guesses so much from various angles, although in Zhao Xingchi's view, the reason is far-fetched, but I have to admit that the insight of this "Daqiao does not work" is really powerful.
Lu Xun was the main general of the New Culture Movement, and at that time it set off a stormy attack on the decadent feudal system, "The True Story of Ah Q" is the sharpest short story, it is like a sharp knife, deeply penetrated into the semi-feudal and semi-colonial society at that time, revealing the blood behind it.
Even in the new century, "The True Story of Ah Q" is still a mirror reflecting the national spirit.
Half an hour later, the second chapter of "The True Story of Ah Q" "Winning Notes" was uploaded to the blog, and at the end of the story, Stephen Zhao added his own sentence: "To a certain extent, I am also Ah Q, you are also Ah Q, he is also Ah Q, everyone can be Ah Q, it is a mirror that allows us to see our souls clearly!"
