Ning Hao is not tall, one meter seven. His appearance has not changed from the 41-year-old in later generations, but he is a little younger, and his face does not have so many wrinkles.

He was arranged in a four-star hotel in Cloud City, and the standard treatment was not bad.

I met Lin Ming in Peng Chen's office, Ning Hao is only 25 years old this year, young and young. When someone is 25 years old, they either go to work or have nothing to do at home. And Ning Hao not only graduated from the Art Department of Beijing Normal University, but also was admitted to the Capital Film Academy, and made several award-winning short films, which is very talented.

When he first came in, he was still a little nervous, after all, the investment of 3.6 million yuan is decent in the scale of investment in domestic films, not very high. But for a student like him, it is undoubtedly a huge amount of money, and it is uneasy to carry it in his hands.

In fact, when he was still in Jincheng, Ning Hao had thought about whether this company would be a scam company. I am not famous, and I don't have a good work. Why did others suddenly come to the door and say that they wanted to invest in making movies for themselves? But think about it carefully, what is there to be deceived about, first, you don't have to pay money, and second, you are not a big beauty. has no long things, even if he is fooled, there is nothing to be deceived on his body. Thinking of this, Ning Hao came over with the mentality of giving it a try. But what he didn't expect was that this company did look very powerful, not only luxuriously decorated, but also covered three floors in one go, which was very inhumane.

The most important thing is that he also heard that Zhang Ziqi, the popular Asian queen who is now in the limelight, is an artist under this company, which made Ning Hao even more reassured.

Now Zhang Ziqi is very famous, as soon as "The First Dream" came out, everyone knew about it, and her fame also pointed to Sister Fei, who had come back in the past two years, and had the momentum to win the queen. This kind of big-name artist's signing company is naturally not a liar and a small company, so after Ning Hao arrived here, he was still a lot more relieved.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that when he heard that the young man in front of him was actually the chairman of this company. Even if Ning Hao had some knowledge, the fact that the smiling teenager in front of him was the boss was still beyond his expectations.

"Don't be so nervous." Lin Ming smiled and leaned back in the boss's chair and said, "I have seen your director's work at the Ginza Film Festival, and I can be proud that our country has a thoughtful director like you." So I decided to hand over the first film of our company's investment in the film and television department to you to shoot. ”

Ning Hao said with a smile: "Mr. Lin thinks too highly of me, I am still a student, such a big responsibility is entrusted to me, I can't say if I can grasp the rhythm, aren't you afraid of investment failure?" ”

Although Ning Hao is still a young man, he is also a good person, he is afraid that the boss will trouble him if the movie is not filmed well, so he simply uses his identity as a student as an excuse first. When the time comes, it will not be filmed well, and the movie will fail at the box office, which is understandable, and it is estimated that Lin Ming will be embarrassed to come to him again to talk about it.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ming didn't play Tai Chi with him, but waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, you just shoot yours." You don't need to take care of everything else, even if the box office fails and the investment fails, it is our company's business, but I want you to sign with our company and be our company's first film director, what do you think? ”

Ning Hao didn't expect Lin Ming to be so generous, not only would he not trouble him if the movie failed, but he also had to sign a contract with himself. But signing a contract is also a big deal, and if the contract is a deed of sale, he will definitely not agree to it. After hesitating for a while, he said, "It's not impossible to sign a contract, but I want to see the content of the contract." ”

"This one is natural." Lin Ming said with a smile: "Our company's conditions for signing artists are very lenient, except for a longer period of time, the benefits are very high. Miss Zhang Ziqi and the New Era Band, nearly half of the money they earn will be shared in their own hands, and the company's commission is actually very low in the industry. If you've seen some entertainment companies in the capital, you'll know very well how lenient our conditions are. Like some lower-level artists, not only do they work tirelessly all year round, but most of the money they earn is taken away by the agency. Earn 10,000, the company gets 8,000, and there are very few companies with treatment and benefits like ours in the industry. ”

In the early years, artists belonged to the company's money-making tools, not only were they poorly treated, but they were also given very low shares. When Bingbing was playing Gege, he took the bus every day, lived in a cheap shared house, earned a thousand yuan, and the agent he introduced had to draw at least six or seven hundred, which was quite miserable.

Ning Hao was a little surprised, he did this business by himself, and he naturally understood the market, but he didn't expect Taomu to be treated so well in the industry, which really made people feel good. However, there was no basis for his words, Ning Hao still had to see the contract with his own eyes to determine the truth of Lin Ming's words, so he shook his head and said, "Let's take a look at the contract." ”

"Okay." Lin Ming nodded, and said to Peng Chen on the side: "Mr. Peng, please go to Director Jiang of the agent team and ask the company to draft a contract for Ning Hao's director, and if it is standard, it will be treated as the company's second-tier artist." ”

Peng Chen said, "Okay, I'll go over now." ”

Waiting for him to leave, Lin Ming turned his head and smiled at Ning Hao: "You still have to follow the rules and regulations, it's impossible for you to mention the standard treatment to the sky as soon as you come over." But don't worry, the benefits of our company's second-tier artists are basically similar to those of first-tier artists in other companies, and you will know this if you have confirmed the contract. ”

Ning Hao smiled embarrassedly: "Actually, after winning the award at the Ginza Film Festival, many film companies wanted to sign a contract with me, and I think those contracts are like signing a slave contract, so I am more sensitive to these, just don't take it to heart." Can I read the script? ”

"Of course."

Lin Ming asked the staff to bring the script of "Crazy Stone" to Ning Hao.

The script format is very formal, and it is completely written according to the storyboard script. A little bit of a student from the directing department of a film school can directly shoot a movie according to this specification, because in the storyboard script, even the details of the characters and the music are all covered in it. There's no need to go through too much of a fuss.

After reading the first page, Ning Hao praised: "This movie script is completely written by a director, and anyone can shoot it." Mr. Lin, if I can, can I meet the editor of the script? If I take over the shooting, I'd like to talk to him about the plot. ”

"Huh." Lin Ming said with a smile: "The person you are looking for is far away in the sky and close in front of you." I wrote the script, and I wrote the storyboard. Strictly speaking, what I wrote at the beginning was that I made this script according to the storyboard specifications I looked up on the Internet. ”

Ning Hao gave a thumbs up and said, "A person who is worthy of being the boss of a big company at such a young age, cow, really good." If it were me, I would definitely not be able to start such a big company and write such a wonderful script at the same time. ”

Lin Ming laughed and said: "Don't be a sycophant, take a good look at the script, and talk about your thoughts on this script in combination with your major." When filming starts, the company's resources are at your disposal. ”

"Thank you Mr. Lin for your trust in me, if I decide to take the film, I will definitely be stupid." Ning Hao continued to look with a grin.

Soon, the plot of "Crazy Stone" attracted him. The structure of the multi-line narrative is what Ning Hao is good at, as a staunch embrace of Quentin and Guy Ritchie. Ning Hao has a strong ability to distinguish between multi-line narrative structures, and soon realized that this was a wonderful script, and after spending nearly an hour reading it, he felt a little unfinished.

In fact, an excellent director, just by looking at the storyboard script, has already conceived the entire movie story in his mind. You don't need to shoot on location at all to see the live effect. Because they have already restored everything to reality in their minds, as if they were making a three-dimensional model.

Ning Hao put down the script, looked up and suddenly saw that everyone was looking at him. Director Jiang, Peng Chen, and Lin Ming of the agent team were all in the room, and no one made a sound, let alone disturbed his thoughts, just waiting for him to finish reading it.

Ning Hao was a little moved, this is a company that respects people, at least their behavior has made Ning Hao feel very good. However, he was still embarrassed to say, "I'm sorry, I'm too fascinated by it." ”

Lin Ming waved his hand and said, "It's okay, how do you feel?" You can say whatever you think, and add your own understanding, what do you think? ”

Ning Hao said unsatisfactorily: "This script is very much in line with my taste, I think it's great, and I don't need to revise it." ”

Of course, no modification is required.

This script is almost the original work of Ning Hao in the previous life that Lin Ming directly obtained, and when he was studying at the film school, the teacher would often show you some excellent scripts. In addition, I watched "Crazy Stone" several times in my last life, and the combination of the two can make the original work.

"Okay, look at the contract." Lin Ming said: "If there is no problem, sign it directly." We started the official auction this month, and the money is now in the finance room, how much budget is needed, just sign the slip and ask the finance office to get it. ”

Mingran Technology has now officially entered the formal, after Peng Chen's preparation these days, it has long been not as two or three kittens as it was at the beginning, the staff and departments are tending to be perfect, and the financial office is also available.

Now doing finance is Peng Chen's sister who studied accounting, and generally this kind of important work is done by the cronies of major shareholders, but Lin Ming has no available talents in this area, and the second is that he still trusts Peng Chen and will not do things that harm others. Therefore, acquiescing to his behavior can be regarded as a kind of trust in him.

Ning Hao finished reading the contract, and after winning the award at the Ginza Film Festival, many film companies came to the door to sign him, so he also has some research on the contract now. After carefully confirming it and feeling that there were no pitfalls, he still said: "I'll take the contract back first, take a closer look, and give you an answer tomorrow." ”

This can be regarded as a kind of caution on his part, there are too many cases of contract traps in the past two years. Some companies often engage in some ambiguous clauses, and if you don't pay attention to it when signing a contract, you may fall into a trap. Therefore, Ning Hao still has to confirm it carefully before he can officially sign the contract.

Lin Ming nodded and said, "Then let's do this today, Mr. Peng, you let He Yuan take Ning Hao back to the hotel first." The script is also taken together, the contract and the script Ning Hao, you will study and study it first, and after confirming that there is no problem, you can directly find Mr. Peng. ”

"Okay."

Ning Hao nodded and left. After seeing him leave, Lin Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and lay on the boss's chair with his eyes closed and recuperated.

With Ning Hao, Xu Zheng and Huang Bo, it is estimated that it will not be far away. Now Huang Bo is okay to say, in 2002, he was still playing tricks in various crews, being a young actor, and did not sign a contract. But Xu Zheng became popular because of "Spring Splendid Pig Bajie" and "Li Wei as an Official" in 2000 and 2001, and now he has signed a contract with a film and television company, and it is still very difficult to dig it up. And his value and status are not low now, with the popularity of the two TV series, his status in the entertainment industry has skyrocketed, and now he belongs to the popular quasi-first-line position. Inviting him to come over to make a scene and make a cameo role also costs a lot of money. Although he was a stone with zero remuneration at the beginning, Lin Ming's ambition is more than that.

He wanted to sign Xu Zheng, because as we all know, this bigwig created a brilliant achievement belonging to the Chinese people in the later "Thai Embarrassment". If this big deal was not in his own hands, Lin Ming would feel as if the money had jumped out of his arms when he slept. So he had to find a way to sign all these two bigwigs.
