"Ask me out for afternoon tea for no reason?" Liu Weiqiang looked at the misty black tea in front of him, then looked at Huo Dongjun opposite, and asked suspiciously: "You usually have something to call on the phone, and you will be so idle today, Zhong You, I haven't seen you start work in the last few sets, so rest?"

"The previous month was indeed a vacation, but now I'm back, so I'm looking for you out for tea. Huo Dongjun said with a smile to Liu Weiqiang.

"Is there a job to open?" Liu Weiqiang pushed the frame of his glasses and smiled at Huo Dongjun.

After "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard", the name Liu Weiqiang finally emerged in the film industry, in addition to asking him to take charge of several scenes, through the relationship between Guò Ao Zhijun, there are also crew members who asked him to be an assistant director, and even the boss of the company joked that when the funds are abundant, consider letting him direct independently.

Although it is a joke, it is completely different from before, when you are a filming assistant, don't say jokes, the bosses of those film companies will not look at themselves out of the corner of their eyes.

"My Dongyi wants to sign you, basically about three years, Dongyi Company will pay you a fixed salary of 5,000 yuan per month, which will not prevent you from working with the crew outside, but if the company needs you to join the group to start a play, your schedule should give priority to Dongyi Company's play. Huo Dongjun took a sip of the teacup, and then said to Liu Weiqiang.

Liu Weiqiang was stunned for a moment, and basically signed a basic contract? Huo Dongjun's Dongyi Company signed a basic contract with one of his own photographers or assistant directors? At present, small and medium-sized companies in the Hong Kong film circle, except for artists and directors, will not sign contracts with any crew, and after signing the contract, the company will pay these people a basic salary, which is completely unnecessary for film companies.

It can be said that in addition to Golden Harvest, Debao, and Xinyicheng have special assistant directors, photographers or co-ordinating and editing crews, other companies sign contracts with actors and directors at most, and the construction of the crew is completely handed over to the director, and the company is only responsible for funding.

"Ah Jun, are you faint? Pretending to be a rich boy? You have a job to make a phone call, I'll come over to help you immediately, don't you have to be so generous, send me money?" Liu Weiqiang said to Huo Dongjun.

Huo Dongjun smiled at Liu Weiqiang and said: "Dongyi has just set up a department of resources, you can listen to this name as a crew, that is, to ensure that Dongyi Company can send people to shoot movies at any time, not only you, I also made an appointment with Ghost Feng to drink at the bar at night, Mai Zishan, Hou Yongcai, Deng Yongxiong, Chen Musheng, Chen Yanhui, I have also made an appointment with them." ”

"You're really crazy. Liu Weiqiang shook his head at Huo Dongjun and said.

Huo Dongjun can't say that if there is a Taiwanese Yankee, he will quickly cross the sea to pretend to be a fortune boy, he just started in advance, first to ensure that his Dongyi can start work at any time, and there is a group of good enough staff to ensure the quality of the movies shot by Dongyi, so he just asked: "Just when I am crazy, I am willing to learn from the Welfare Department to engage in charity, do you sign it."

"Sign, make it clear, it's just a basic contract, you won't take my commission if I start work outside, right?" Liu Weiqiang didn't even have five seconds, so he nodded in agreement, anyway, now verbally agree, if there is a clause in the contract that makes him unhappy, he can completely refuse to sign, if the contract is okay, then Huo Dongjun is really the Film Industry Welfare Department, give himself monthly money, and all he needs to do is to leisurely spare time for the drama opened by Dongyi Company.

Huo Dongjun grabbed the mobile phone on the table and dialed Ji Du's number: "Discipline Master, send the contract in, Brother Qiang agrees to sign it, you talk to him about the terms of the contract, and I will talk about the next one." ”

Hanging up the phone, Huo Dongjun said to Liu Weiqiang: "You'd better drain three months, because I'm going to make water and start a play." ”

"Are you willing to come out to meet people in the lion dance?" Xiang Watson looked at Huo Dongjun in front of him and laughed.

Huo Dongjun sat on the sand opposite Xiang Watson's desk, shook his neck, and said to Xiang Watson:

"Xiang Sheng has told me that the lion dance can't make money, so of course I have to come out after the dance to continue to make a living, and recently Yongsheng doesn't need me to arrange the schedule, if not"

"Wow, it's really resolute, don't you want to say, Yongsheng doesn't arrange, your Dongyi will make a film by yourself?" Xiang Watson leaned back in his chair and said with an exaggerated hand towards Huo Dongjun.

"Can't you be idle, what about talking to Mr. Cai and Mr. Chen?" Huo Dongjun asked in a relaxed tone.

Xiang Watson turned a pen on the table: "Chen Rongmei is ready to talk to the alliance theaters under the Golden Princess Theater, even if you can't talk about everything, you can guarantee that the Princess Theater 7o% Spoon Alliance Theater will break away this time and join the new theater line, if you want to film, you can indeed start work now." ”

"That's why I first asked Yongsheng if he didn't need me to start work during this time, and he didn't need me to open his own company's work. Huo Dongjun said to Watson.

Xiang Huasheng's eyes suddenly froze, and he seemed to think of a question: "You asked the question just now, not to want to open Yongsheng's work, right? ”

Huo Dongjun smiled at Xiang Watson: "I only asked one question and you guessed, Xiang Sheng, are there few people like you who can chat with you?"

Xiang Watson sat up straight curiously and asked Huo Dongjun, "Tell me, are you scared?" An investor came to your Dongyi's door to send you money?"

Huo Dongjun shook his head: "On the contrary, someone from Dongyi Company recently went to Southeast Asia to see this market clearly. ”

After listening to this, Xiang Watson leaned back in his chair and said in a tone of pointing to his juniors: "Ah Jun, you open a company in Dongyi, it's best to start steadily, don't think too far, how the Southeast Asian market is, it won't affect your water, if you make a good movie, even if the end of a Hong Kong movie comes one day, someone will pay you to save the market, if the movie doesn't sell well, even if you are the reincarnation of Jesus, Bogu Tongjin, no one cares, your company, the most valuable thing is yourself, think too much." ”

"It's always good to see the world, and besides, it's not me who goes, but the secretary goes to help with the front station and find out what the scenery of those countries is so that I can have time to go on vacation. Huo Dongjun said with a smile to Watson.

Huo Dongjun told Le Yiling about the Taiwanese Association entering Hong Kong, to Huo Dongjun's surprise, Le Yiling didn't seem to be surprised by this matter, and didn't change his expression after listening to it, but said to Huo Dongjun: "Taiwanese want to invest money in it is not a day or two, since 84 years, Taiwanese have been revolving around the cake of Hong Kong movies, but they can only smell the fragrance and eat the leftover residues of the three major theater chains, and it took more than three years to find a chance to enter the market, it is too late, as long as Hong Kong is a filmmaker from a producer, In fact, those who only know how to make movies would not have thought that the three major companies monopolized the Hong Kong people themselves, whether they were Taiwanese or Japanese, they asked to come to buy Hong Kong people's own films, and if foreign capital entered the market, the copyrights of a series of films filmed would all be in the hands of foreign film companies, and they would sell films to all parts of Asia in the name of Hong Kong films, but those revenues were no longer Hong Kong. Moreover, Taiwanese meddling in Hong Kong films means that in addition to the profits from the release of Taiwanese theaters, they have directly begun to earn profits from the local market in Hong Kong, which may have a stimulating expansion of Hong Kong films in a short period of time, but if the film market fluctuates slightly, foreign capital stops, and the three major companies are also broken by small and medium-sized companies and Taiwanese capital, and they are unable to save the market, then it may take a few years or longer for Hong Kong films to recover. ”

Even if Huo Dongjun didn't care about the Hong Kong film market in his last life, he still knew that the Hong Kong film market would decline rapidly after a golden period, and Hong Kong films would no longer be as brilliant as they were in the past, which seemed to sound a little similar to what Le Yiling said

"If you want Taiwanese to make money in Hong Kong, it's not so comfortable, everyone in the Hong Kong film industry has money to make, and you don't want to be monopolized by the three major theater chains, is there a way?" Huo Dongjun remembered asking himself.

The answer given by Le Yiling is that maybe you can try to reveal the news that this new cinema chain, which is independent of the three major cinema chains, to other film companies in Southeast Asia, so that other film companies can come to Hong Kong to contact the new cinema chain, and Taiwan businessmen can't be dominant, everyone invests in Hong Kong films, and the profits of Taiwanese filmmakers in Hong Kong are naturally diluted rapidly, and the direct entry of film companies from other countries into Hong Kong has also cut off the way for Taiwanese filmmakers to sell films to Southeast Asia, but she is not sure whether this will have any effect.

But Le Yiling is willing to go to Japan and Singapore, Malaysia and even the Philippines to take a tour to learn about the local situation of Hong Kong films, the most important thing is to understand the release of "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard" after it was bought out by local film companies, and at the same time contact the film companies to talk about the possibility of cooperation.

Huo Dongjun asked Watson this question today, just to know what stage Chen Rongmei's preparations for the new cinema line have reached, and if there is still a chance, Huo Dongjun will consider letting his high-paid secretary fly around Southeast Asia.

Huo Dongjun doesn't want to be the savior of Hong Kong films, but listening to Le Yiling's analysis, Taiwanese investment in Hong Kong seems to do more harm than good to Hong Kong films, and since they are all investments, why do we have to let Taiwanese film companies become bigger in Hong Kong, it is better to let all Southeast Asian film companies get involved, and those small companies in Hong Kong have more choices.

"Look at the scenery?" Xiang Watson laughed, "Seriously, you don't really come to talk to me about something that has nothing to do with your small company, do you?"

"Now at the end of April, I want to start a drama and grab the end of the summer vacation, Xiang Sheng is interested in investing in Dongyi, this is finally something related to Dongyi, right?" Huo Dongjun looked at Xiang Huasheng's eyes and said with a smile.
