I haven't seen Huo Jianqi for a long time, and Chen Li'an feels that he misses this old friend a lot.

The most important thing is that Huo Jianqi brought Chen Li'an's actor trophy, after the end of the Golden Rooster Awards, Gong Li wanted to mention Chen Li'an to take it, but Huo Jianqi was unwilling to live or die, so he had to hand it over to Chen Li'an in person.

Chen Li'an looked at this trophy and couldn't help but sigh and said, "It's pretty good-looking, by the way, what about the bonus?" ”

Huo Jianqi: "Is it appropriate for our brothers to say that money is appropriate when we meet?" ”

"That's right, there's also a movie share, you hurry up and come back." Chen Li'an said mercilessly, and put the trophy aside after playing for a while.

Golden Rooster, this name is festive, I like it!

Huo Jianqi sat opposite Chen Li'an and said speechlessly: "I know, I will let my wife send it to you when I go back." ”

Chen Li'an pouted, his wife is long and his wife is short all day long, and it is amazing to have a wife.

After the two chatted for a while, Jia Zhangke came, pushed open the office door, and said embarrassedly: "It's late, I'm sorry." ”

Chen Li'an shook his head with a smile and said, "It's okay, it's just the right time, let's talk about the film festival together." ”

After Jia Zhangke sat down, he looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "The film festival starts in February, will you go with you then?" ”

Chen Li'an shook his head and said: "I don't have time to pass, you can go with Lao Huo, the film festival is actually quite simple, and the process is very transparent, but there is one thing you have to pay attention to, when a film company looks for you, you must not be in a hurry to sell." ”

Jia Zhangke nodded, looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "I didn't participate in the main competition unit, the film is not easy to sell, right?" ”

"The Berlinale is a big market for films, so you don't have to worry about that." Chen Li'an turned his head and glanced at Huo Jianqi and said: "Old Huo, you don't have to worry, although the singer does not meet the entry criteria of the Berlin Film Festival, there is no problem with the screening, as long as there is an opportunity to screen, the film will not be sold." ”

Huo Jianqi said with a smile: "I'm not worried, now that you are so famous, there must be people who are willing to buy it." ”

Chen Li'an thought about it, it's true, the movie itself is good, plus the elements starring Chen Li'an, no one really worries about no one buying it in Europe.

Jia Zhangke also asked curiously: "Senior brother, what was your situation in London before?" ”

"It's nothing, didn't the newspapers say it, it's the same as the newspapers." Chen Li'an smiled and didn't explain so much.

Jia Zhangke didn't want to ask any more, and chatted with Chen Li'an for a while about participating in the Berlin Film Festival, and then set a few film festivals to participate in.

After all, the probability of winning a prize in Berlin is too small, and the more you participate in a few film festivals, the more chances you have to win an award, not to mention the prize money.

Huo Jianqi is in the same situation, although he can't participate in the three major European festivals, he can still participate in other film festivals.

The singer has only won one award so far, and it is still Chen Li'an's Best Actor Award, and the movie itself has not won any awards.

Huo Jianqi was also anxious, such a good film, he couldn't have mixed it with nothing.

After more than half an hour, Chen Li'an and Huo Jianqi finished chatting, glanced at the time and said to them: "You sit and talk for a while, I still want to meet Director Feng Xiaogang, don't leave at night, have a meal together." ”

Huo Jianqi and Jia Zhangke glanced at each other and nodded at the same time: "Okay, then you go and get busy." ”

After Chen Li'an went out, Huo Jianqi couldn't help but say: "Li'an's standards for investing in film and television dramas are really incomprehensible, commercial investment, independent films, and even poor Yao dramas." ”

Jia Zhangke smiled and said: "I can see that investing in literary films and independent films is because I like it, and investing in commercial films and poor Yao dramas is to make money." ”

"It's really a two-handed grasp." Huo Jianqi laughed for a moment, and then remembered that neither his movies nor Jia Zhangke's movies had the ability to make money, and he suddenly understood Chen Li'an.

If you don't make money from other places, how can you subsidize these investments.

Huo Jianqi and Jia Zhangke also want to make money in their hearts, they have both experienced the hard days of having no money, making a movie and begging grandpa to sue grandma for investment, that kind of life is too difficult.

If it weren't for Chen Li'an to help them, they don't know how much effort it would take, and now they have one thought, the movie must be sold at a good price!

In another office, Feng Xiaogang sat on the sofa chatting with Chen Meiren, and Xu Wan was sitting next to him.

Chen Li'an pushed the door in, Feng Xiaogang stood up and said politely, "Teacher Chen, long time no see." ”

"Director Feng is polite, please take a seat." Chen Li'an looked at Feng Xiaogang's spring breeze, and estimated that he should be quite happy in the past few days.

The box office exceeded 10 million in a short period of time, which can be regarded as making him raise his eyebrows.

Chen Li'an looked at Feng Xiaogang and said with a smile: "Director Feng, Party A and Party B are very successful, your understanding of comedy movies is really good." ”

Feng Xiaogang smiled and couldn't help patting his legs, he had listened to a lot of compliments in the past few days, but today was the happiest.

After all, the people who praise him are different, ordinary people praise him, and he will be happy for a while, not to mention that many people have scolded him for not making movies but sketches at all.

Feng Xiaogang was happy and held his breath, what's wrong with commercial movies, why do you say that I make sketches, and what can make money is a good movie.

Chen Li'an and Feng Xiaogang said a few more polite words before they got down to business, and today they came over to Feng Xiaogang to dig up the corner.

The company now does not have a director who can do it, and it is in urgent need of a director to start the business of film production.

"Director Feng, I don't know if you are interested in joining our company." Chen Li'an smiled and handed over a cigar and said.

Feng Xiaogang took it with both hands, hesitated for a moment and said, "It's my honor that Mr. Chen can invite me, but now I can't help the cultivation in the factory." ”

Chen Meiren couldn't help but say on the side: "Director Feng, the current situation in the factory is not good, it is inevitable to be constrained in doing things, if you come to our company, we will give you the greatest autonomy." ”

Feng Xiaogang is actually very excited in his heart, there are benefits in the factory, but Chen Meiren is right, it is inevitable that the system will be constrained, not to mention anything else, even film investment is difficult.

Don't look at this movie to make money, the next movie still can't afford to invest so much money in the factory, who made so many directors in the factory ask for money.

Chen Li'an saw that Feng Xiaogang was a little hesitant and said: "Director Feng think about it, don't worry about it at this time, multiple friends have multiple paths, even if you don't come to our company in the future, you can still continue to cooperate." ”

Hearing Chen Li'an's words, Chen Meiren glanced at him, and felt that he should be persuaded again today, maybe he could take it.

Chen Li'an noticed Chen Meiren's eyes, and secretly pressed her hand, Feng Xiaogang at this time was proud, how could he change jobs casually.

And he can get a share of the box office this time, maybe he has other plans in his heart, and he won't change jobs for a while.

Chen Li'an is now talking to Feng Xiaogang about job hopping, just to seize an opportunity, and also to make him more proud, and when his mentality is inflated, he will be planted with a heel.

When he hit a wall in the factory and it was difficult to distribute the box office share, he naturally knew the benefits of jumping out of the system.

After Chen Li'an and Feng Xiaogang chatted for a while, they sent him away, Chen Meimei and Xu Wan chatted very happily, and made an appointment to go to beauty together next time.

After they left, Chen Li'an remembered that Feng Xiaogang didn't seem to be divorced, and he and Xu Wan were now in an unclear stage?

But there's nothing to say about this, this kind of thing is too normal in the circle, isn't Chen Li'an himself a standard scumbag.

The eldest doesn't talk about the second, Chen Li'an is still very self-aware.

In the evening, Chen Scumbag, Huo Jianqi and Jia Zhangke had dinner together, drank some wine, and went home.

I didn't go anywhere tonight, I didn't make an appointment with anyone, and I went home and slept well.

Early the next morning, Chen Li'an flew straight to Yangcheng, and the MP3 thing had to be implemented as soon as possible.

Chen Li'an is quite concerned about this matter, this may be the easiest electronic product to get his hands on in the nineties except for VCD.

The barriers to doing other electronic products are too high, and unless they are assembled like VCDs, they have no future.

After Chen Li'an landed in Yangcheng, he went directly to the factory, and now the scale of the factory is much larger than last year, and the local support is great, and the treatment of large taxpayers is different.

Chen Li'an came to the conference room to meet with the R&D team, and listened to them say a bunch of professional terms, and the head was big to hear.

However, Chen Li'an respected them very much, and waited for them to speak for half an hour before he spoke: "That's very good, but I actually didn't understand what you said." ”

As soon as Chen Li'an's words came out, the conference room suddenly burst into laughter, and a young technician joked: "Mr. Chen, we can't understand your artwork." ”

"Haha, after all, interlacing is like separating mountains." After Chen Li'an made a joke, he said: "But I have a few requirements, the first is to be small in size, the second is to be large, and the third is to be able to download songs directly from the computer." ”

Several technicians frowned at the same time, the third requirement is easy to say, but the first two requirements are too difficult, not only small memory but also large.

One technician asked, "Shouldn't we be looking for sound quality?" And the smaller the size, the memory will also be affected. ”

Chen Li'an looked at him and said: "I'm not a technician, these problems are not what I should consider, but you should consider, but you can rest assured, I have enough R&D funds, and after successful R&D, the bonus is also enough." ”

Hearing Chen Li'an say this, their frowning brows relaxed slightly, but they still said to Chen Li'an: "If this is the case, we will have to spend a lot of time on storage research, and our current technical reserves do not support it." ”

"Then expand the team and continue to recruit people, it is not difficult to make a music player, but if you want to make an epoch-making product, you must spend time and effort." Chen Li'an said as he took out a design draft and said: "This is the shape of the product I designed, and you design it according to this standard." ”

Several technicians took a look at the design, and their eyes lit up slightly, but they couldn't help but feel that the task was arduous when they saw the display screen and round buttons on it.

Chen Li'an ignored them, and directly took the design draft and told them about his detailed design and requirements, from the key design to the shell of what material and what color was used.

After Chen Li'an finished speaking, those technicians competed with Chen Li'an again, pointing to the design drawings and began to fight with Chen Li'an, the volume was too small, the keys were unreasonable, and a bunch of nouns and data were said one by one, and Chen Li'an almost understood it after listening to it for a long time.

Sitting there, uh-huh, ah-hmm, nodding, and waiting for them to finish speaking, he knocked on the table and said, "I said, these problems are yours, not mine, find a way to overcome them, and if you can't do it with sufficient R&D funds, that's your problem." ”

"There are only a few components in an MP3, and this difficulty can't be overcome?"

After Chen Li'an finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Qiao Linmu, who had been smiling and not speaking, and said: "Second uncle, the research and development of new products, the logistics support is done well, and if there are technical problems, then ask someone who has the ability, I don't believe that a small MP3 can't be made." ”

After speaking, Chen Li'an stood up and looked at them and said: "We can't make a computer, we can't make a chip, can't we make a small MP3?" Will it only be assembled as a processing plant? ”

"If you just design a product casually, how can you compete with foreign manufacturers in the future?" Chen Li'an couldn't help but pat the table and said: "What I want is the first product to make them amazing, and what I want is that the product can form an advantage in the global market!" ”

"If there are difficulties in R&D, then overcome the difficulties, and complain to me here to let me change the design! So what else do I want you to do! ”

Chen Li'an said that he was a little angry in his heart, but he still suppressed his temperament and said: "Samsung is also preparing to do this project now, if we can't guarantee that the first product is ahead of them, what will we do to compete with them!" Do you want to be a foundry for others for the rest of your life?! ”

The last sentence Chen Li'an said when he looked at Qiao Linmu, Qiao Linmu coughed embarrassedly, feeling that his eldest nephew had become more angry after going abroad.

Whether it is the project leader in the conference room, the technician or the researcher, they all looked at Chen Li'an and kept silent, Chen Li'an was right, they don't want to just be a processing and assembly plant, especially those who are engaged in technology, who doesn't have a dream of a strong country.

Although MP3 can't be strong in the country, it can't be compared to others.

"Teacher Chen! You're right! There are difficulties to overcome difficulties. The technician who was joking with Chen Li'an at the beginning said excitedly.

At this time, everyone else in the office also said that they guaranteed to complete the task, and the morale was not bad, but it was not enough.

Chen Li'an looked at them, opened his bag, and poured a pile of banknotes onto the table.

The money is not much, only 200,000, but it is still impossible to take your eyes off it.

Chen Li'an pushed the pile of money to the middle of the table, looked at them and said, "This money is your bonus, this is only half of it, and when you finish it, there will be more bonuses!" Whoever contributes the most, I personally reward a car! ”

As soon as Chen Li'an finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room exploded, and everyone shouted, why did these people enter a private company, it is true that they have dreams and pursuits, but they are more for money!

Looking at the researchers who were beaten like chicken blood, Chen Li'an felt that his morale was available, and he didn't get the motivation to stimulate it.

At night, Chen Li'an and Qiao Linmu walked in the factory, the warm yellow light shone down, and the figures of an old man and a young man looked very harmonious under the street lamp.

It's just that when you get closer, you can hear Qiao Linmu cursing there.

"Did you kid deliberately scold me when you had a meeting in the afternoon? Don't be afraid, go back at night and see that I don't break your leg. ”
