"Happy New Year, Mr. Li!"

"Hey, Happy New Year! Happy New Year everyone! ”

The next morning, Li Tang came to the company.

In the new year, everyone's mental state is good, except for a few people who are a little embarrassed, such as the company's publicity department. Because of the boss's scandal, the propaganda department was slow to respond to the news, and the general manager Zeng Jia was severely criticized when he went to work after the year, and Xiao He, who was originally responsible for monitoring the dynamics of online news, was also dismissed.

In fact, in addition to strict work requirements, the usual management of Shengtang Film and Television is still relatively humane. For example, most of the company's employees graduated from college and stayed in Beipiao, Beijing, and basically went to work after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

As long as you pass the probation period and become a regular employee of the company, you will be given a part of the transportation and rental subsidies every month.

This part of the money is not much, a few hundred yuan per person per month, a few thousand yuan a year, and the company has a total of less than 30 or 40 people, and all of them are more than 200,000 or 300,000 at most. Li Tang runs two more commercial performances every year, and all the money will come back, so why not.

But don't underestimate the subsidy of a few hundred yuan per month, but in this year, it greatly reflects the company's human touch, making everyone have a greater sense of belonging.

"Brother, everything is fine at home, right?"

Li Tang walked up to the second floor and ran into Zeng Jia, who was already waiting there.

"Well, that's good. Jiajia, I worked hard for you last time. ”

Li Tang was inevitably a little embarrassed, after all, it was he who caused the trouble, and in the end, Zeng Jia had to help wipe his buttocks.

"I'm just playing some support. If it weren't for a stroke of genius from your side, things might not have been going anywhere. Zeng Jia said with a smile.

At the beginning, Li Tang hugged Yuan Lei to block the mouths of those reporters, but Yuan Lei complained to her on the phone, threatening to ask Li Tang to use a scoop to repay the favor in the future.

Zeng Jia held a handful of documents in his hand, and the two walked up to the third floor side by side. Coincidentally, Li Tang is wearing a pair of black corduroy slacks and a black leather jacket today, while Zeng Jia is also wearing a black professional suit.

Looking at the backs of the two, a new person who had just stepped into the workplace pushed his colleague sitting next door, looked up the stairs, and said in a low voice: "How do I think our Zeng Boss and Teacher Li are so right?" ”

The colleague next door was still an old bird in the company's studio period, glared at Meng Xin, and whispered a warning: "Don't talk nonsense, dare to talk about leadership?" If it reaches the ears of Boss Zeng, there will be no good fruit to eat! ”

Meng Xin hurriedly stuck out his tongue, looked at the stairs where his back had just disappeared, and explained: "I just felt it." ”

"See more and talk less, that's the basics."

The old bird taught Meng Xin, and deliberately looked left and right as he spoke, and said to Meng Xin: "You just tell me, if you change someone, you will try?" ”

"Uh-huh."

Meng Xin nodded again and again, and at the same time did not forget to flatter: "Sister, I feel very close to you." ”

"Alright, let's get to work."

The old bird turned around and turned his back to Meng Xin, then pursed his lips disdainfully, and said secretly in his heart: Cut, what a fuss, when no one can see it!

The heating in the office was turned on very much, Li Tang took off the leather jacket on his body, and Zeng Jia, who had just put the documents on the desk, naturally took the clothes and helped hang them on the hanger. Then the boss brought over a double-layer glass thermos cup soaked in American ginseng.

In winter, the capital is very dry, especially when the heating is turned on in the house. Every time he stayed in the south for a long time, Li Tang was always a little uncomfortable in the first few days after returning to the capital, and even had nosebleeds. American ginseng nourishes qi and nourishes yin, clears away heat and generates energy, and has the effects of maintenance and resistance to dryness.

Li Tang took a sip and returned to sweetness with a slight bitterness. Yesterday, I played four friendly matches with Xiaopang in the first and second halves, and I felt a little backache when I got up in the morning to exercise, and it looked like I still needed more maintenance, and even if I was a newlywed in the future, I had to be restrained.

As he gets older, Chubby's desire to compete and his ability to read games become more and more close to his ex-girlfriend style. In retrospect, it is still Mr. Jiang's restraint, she completely enjoys the game, pays attention to coming and going, and is equal, not like her ex-girlfriend and Xiaopang, as soon as she comes up, she has to press in a high position, and then the offensive and defensive rhythm is very fast, and she has always wanted to try to squeeze the opponent.

Then he picked up the signature pen on the table, glanced at the handful of documents that Zeng Jia brought, and then signed his name underneath.

Every time I go out for a long time and return to the company, this set of processes is already extremely proficient, signing is only a necessary process to perform management, as long as it is a major event of the company, Zeng Jia has already communicated with him on the phone.

I remember once Zeng Jia joked: "Brother, you don't look carefully, what if I sell you?" ”

At that time, Li Tang just glanced up at her and wrote lightly: "Jiajia, if you want to betray me, then I must deserve it!" ”

People still need a certain amount of trust to interact with others, and he believes that Zeng Jia is not only trustworthy, but also a smart person, after all, the soul of the company is always himself.

It took less than ten minutes before and after more than a dozen documents, and they were sorted out and handed to Zeng Jiadao: "Is there anything else?" ”

"Director Diao's "Uniform" has been almost done in the later stage, and there is only the soundtrack part left, so I thought about whether to contact Juliet to see if there is a chance to go to Cannes this time?"

"Yo, he's pretty fast!" Li Tang was a little surprised, "Of course it's best to be able to go to Cannes, you can also say hello to him, anyway, there is still time now, let him be as perfect as possible." ”

Cannes is a French film festival in the end, and MK2, as the largest literary theater chain in France, has a natural advantage in this regard.

"Got it."

Zeng Jia nodded, and said: "And Ning Hao, his graduation work has also been filmed." ”

"So fast?"

Speaking of Ning Hao, after filming "Uniform" as an assistant director, this guy shyly handed over a script called "Incense", saying that it was his graduation work and wanted to seek support from the company. The requirements are not high, it will cost 200,000, and he plans to shoot it with DV.

Li Tang felt good after reading the book, which tells the story of a monk who turned his fate into a Buddha statue. On the surface, it seems that he and his Shanxi fellow villager Jia Kechang have taken the same path, and they are all the faces of marginalized people.

But his scripts are full of dark humor. For example, the monk temple can also be shared; For example, the monk went door-to-door to make a relationship, but the police station confiscated the illegal income on the grounds of illegalization, but the runaway woman who knew at the police station proposed to do good deeds to help the monk raise funds through charity sales.

And when the monk finally repaired the Buddha statue after a lot of hardships and was about to hold a grand consecration ceremony, the small temple that did not want him was included in the demolition scope of the county to build a rich road.

Zeng Jia said with a smile: "And the rough cut version has also come out, he came to the company the day before yesterday, and everyone watched his rough cut version together, and they all thought it was very good." ”

"That's ......"

Li Tang was also quite looking forward to hearing this, and said in a deep voice: "Then you ask him to bring it over to me tomorrow, and if possible, just send it over together to try your luck." ”

His idea is very simple, if there are dates or not, let's talk about three rods.

"Well, I see, so let him come over tomorrow afternoon?"

"No problem."

As for Xu Guangtou starring and producing, the "Surprising Win" directed by Wu Bin has also been completed a few years ago and is currently in the process of post-production.

Li Tang positioned this film as a low-budget comedy, belonging to the category of commercial films, and it should be no problem to pass the review, just wait for the post-production to be completed and find a suitable schedule to be released.

To be honest, Li Tang doesn't have much hope for this film. Since the explosion of Feng's Chinese New Year comedy, there have been many comedy movies on the market, but it turns out that there is only one Feng Xiaogang, and others can't learn it if they want to.

After chatting about the projects that the company is currently promoting, Zeng Jia hesitated a little and said, "Brother, I have an idea I want to discuss with you." ”

"Let's talk about it!"

Although it was very comfortable to sit in the boss's chair, Li Tang still felt uncomfortable with the two of them separated by a huge desk. Picked up the thermos cup soaked in American ginseng and stood up, pointed to the sofa area and said, "Let's sit over there and talk." ”

Sitting on the soft sofa and facing Li Tang with a coffee table, Zeng Jia felt much more relaxed. No matter how close the relationship between the two is, across the desk, it is always like reporting work, but everyone sitting around the sofa is like chatting between friends, which are two completely different psychological implications.

Zeng Jia picked up the cup and took a sip of water, organized the language and said, "Brother, I want to do a stage play......"

"A stage play?"

Li Tang was stunned, for him who had been on Broadway for more than ten years in his previous life, he was too familiar with this industry, but unfortunately there is no such soil in China for the time being, except for Beijing Renyi and Shanghai Drama Center, repertory troupes around the country have closed down, otherwise there are so many North Drift actors in Beijing!

"It's not a traditional stage play, I want to do comedy, the kind of small theater model. During the period before the Chinese New Year, I walked around the small theaters in Beijing, and the stage plays in the small theaters were very popular, especially comedies. And now those time-honored teahouses still have cross talk performances, and a few of them are very lively, and they are not talking about the kind of cross talk on TV, they are all very funny old jokes. I found that it's not that the audience likes to watch cross talk, but in fact, it's just for fun. So I thought that doing a comedy-type stage play might be a good way. ”

Zeng Jia said a lot, and Li Tang fell into deep thought after listening to it.

He admits that Zeng Jia's words are reasonable, and now with the improvement of living standards, material life is satisfied, and spiritual needs are equally important.

Comedy is just to make people happy. To be happy is to pursue the highest state of spiritual satisfaction.

"Then have you thought about where you came from without a script?" Li Tang asked with a deep groan.

It is said that the script is the foundation of a play, and the play here refers to the stage play. Whether a stage play will be popular or not depends largely on the quality of the script.

Shakespeare is great because he wrote countless classic plays.

"I've thought about it, now there are many literary creation groups in China Opera and Nortel, and in addition to avant-garde dramas, many people are now willing to write comedies. For example, although the "Cuihua, Sauerkraut" performed at the Chinese Opera Small Theater the year before last was adapted from an online work, it was particularly popular. ”

Speaking, Zeng Jia said: "I think so, the script can be cooperated with these literary creation groups, as far as I know, they now have a lot of ready-made comedy scripts, but they don't have the opportunity to put them on the stage, at most they find a few students from the acting department to rehearse and play by themselves." In addition, in terms of actors, I also want to use those newcomers who have just graduated or are still in school, after all, the competition is so fierce now, not everyone who learns acting has filming, there are a lot of people to choose from, survival of the fittest! ”

"At the same time, I think this is also a kind of talent reserve, first stage plays, and then you can slowly develop into film and television dramas. Now that the factory building behind the company is always empty and wasteful, I plan to set aside a piece of it for a rehearsal hall first. Of course, the most important thing is that the initial investment in stage plays is not large, and even if it loses, it will not have much impact. But if you can pick a few good seedlings through this form, I think it's still cost-effective. ”

After listening to Zeng Jia's whole train of thought, Li Tang breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she had really thought it through, so she smiled and said, "You have considered everything, then do it according to your ideas." But I suggest that you also be mentally prepared, everything is difficult at the beginning, it depends on whether you can fire this shot? ”

Zeng Jia saw that his boss still supported him as always, and he also showed a relieved smile, and said: "I'm not worried about this at all, I say that the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys." Brother, as long as you are willing to help stand on the platform, I think the first shot will definitely be able to fire! ”

In fact, when it comes to stage plays, Li Tang is more or less a little nervous in his heart, after all, this is his profession in his previous life. I didn't have a chance in the drama center before, and I threw myself into the tide of film and television without paying attention, but now it can be regarded as a small achievement, and it is not bad to return to my original intention once in a while.

"In addition, brother, what I want to discuss with you is that if we start this small theater, I want to set up an independent legal person to operate. In this way, even if we fail in the future, it will not affect our main business. There is also the brokerage business of the company, and I would like to set up an independent department. ”

"Okay, you can do all of this." Li Tang readily agreed.

It should be said that Zeng Jia was very thoughtful.

However, he asked casually: "If a brokerage department is established, should I change brokers again?" ”

"I want my assistant Xiaohua to take charge of the new brokerage department first, as for you, don't worry, your agent will definitely not change, as long as you don't fire me, I will be tied to you for the rest of my life."

As soon as he said this, Zeng Jia felt that he seemed to have a speech problem, and he couldn't help but feel that his ears were faintly hot.

Maybe Li Tang didn't pay attention, or deliberately pretended to be confused, but he smiled and said: "Okay, as the company's contracted actor, I will listen to the company's arrangements anyway." ”

As he spoke, he raised his wrist to look at the time, then stood up and said, "It's okay, I'll go back first, and I have to see the director in the afternoon!" ”
