The next day, in the company conference room of Bright Water Bay of Binbin Pictures, Huo Dongjun attended the first company meeting after the acquisition with Yokosuka Marumi, Tamayama Riko, Li Meier and Li En.

When Huo Dongjun arrived, there were already more than a dozen people sitting in the conference room, some men and women, chatting nonsense, and when they saw Huo Dongjun and his party appear, they all subconsciously closed their mouths, and looked at the new boss who was sitting in the chief position of the conference room.

Yuan Bingtai said to everyone at the long table next to him: "This is Mr. Huo Dongjun of Dongyi Media, the new boss of Binbin Pictures. ”

Seeing that everyone at the conference table was full of excitement, Huo Dongjun casually raised his hand and pointed to the four people behind him: "These two are the company's artists, Miss Yokosuka Masami and Miss Riko Yuyama from Japan, next to Lawyer Li Meier, Dongyi's legal representative, Mr. Li En, my assistant during this time, as for me, Director Yuan has already introduced, I am Huo Dongjun, the salty and wet king from "Men's Weekly". ”

Originally, Huo Dongjun just glanced at everyone casually, but soon, his eyes were fixed on the face of the person in the fourth position on the left side of the long table, Huo Dongjun was very sure that he had seen many movies made by the other party, and even remembered the name of this guy, the villain in various movies, He Weiju.

This fierce-looking face must not be wrong, but I ordered Yuan Bingtai yesterday that the participants in the meeting today do not include artists, but the same company and the basic contract production team, how did this villain get in, and he also had a shining expression.

Yuan Bingtai sat next to Huo Dongjun, saw Huo Dongjun staring at He Weiju, and introduced beside him: "Jun Shao knows screenwriter He? He has been in the United States before, and he just returned to Hong Kong a few days ago. ”

"Screenwriter He?" Huo Dongjun didn't expect He Weiju to have the identity of a screenwriter, but it was rude to only focus on one person in this kind of meeting, Huo Dongjun nodded slightly along with Yuan Bingtai's words: "I don't know, but I've heard of it." ”

After speaking, Huo Dongjun said to more than a dozen basic contract employees of Binbin Pictures on the table: "Director Yuan should have said when he informed you that Dongyi is going to make a charity movie, and I believe that the investment amount is also clear to you, I could have directly found outsiders to do this kind of thing, but after all, you have signed a basic contract with Binbin, and you have been inseparable from Binbin all these years, so I am more willing to let you participate in this drama together, I have already talked about the problem of this play, to shoot according to the deeds of Mr. You Jintang, I don't know what you think?" Zhong Yes, you can introduce yourself by the way when you speak, and it is also convenient for me to get to know you. ”

As soon as Huo Dongjun finished speaking, a man wearing glasses on the left had already spoken: "Jun Shao, I am photographer Yu Jin, I have been working in Binbin for five years, and I have been the photographer of Binbin's three dramas, I would like to ask, if this drama starts filming, can I buy new equipment, since the large-scale zuò, Binbin's photography equipment is already a little outdated, and the shooting effect will be much worse, can it be replaced this time?"

"Did you solve the previous photography equipment when you were shooting?" Huo Dongjun asked rhetorically towards the photographer.

"We rented cameras from Yindu, and each camera cost 800 yuan a day. Yu Jin said.

"Then continue to rent, a video camera is more than 200,000, and the company will not consider updating the existing equipment before the release of this movie. Huo Dongjun ignored the photographer's lost eyes, and made it clear that he was a big water hose and wanted to come up and use Huo Dongjun's money to satisfy his own wishes.

After Yu Jin's question was rejected by Huo Dongjun cleanly, everyone else was a little silent, their thoughts were actually the same as Yu Jin, this salty and wet king invested three or five million to make the first movie, these people all wanted to take this opportunity to add the equipment they needed, but Yu Jin's rejection made them see that this salty and wet king was not a boy who scattered wealth.

"Screenwriter He, right?" The others were silent, Huo Dongjun looked at He Weiju: "You are a screenwriter, you want to make a script this time, do you have any ideas?"

Although He Weiju looked miserable, he spoke very gently, and said carefully: "Since the script is written based on real events, and the firefighter hero is highlighted, it is like a proposition essay, and it is written quickly, but if it is simply arranged to shoot like the fire in Hing Wang Building in Yuen Long, it may not be liked by the audience, it is better to add some adaptations, if it is just a single fire, it is difficult for the director to shoot." ”

Yuan Bingtai next to him lowered his voice and said to Huo Dongjun: "Screenwriter He is the only screenwriter who still has a basic contract in Binbin, and he participated in the creation of the original scripts of "Jumping Ash", "Flying Bat" and "Inside and Outside the Wall", and when the scene "Flying Bat" was filmed, Screenwriter He was still the producer of that play. ”

Huo Dongjun looked at He Yuanju's face, it was really hard to imagine that this guy could write a script with sharp screen switching like "Flying Fox", but since Yuan Bingtai's tone was affirmative, then this He Yuanju should indeed have enough ability.

"How long does it take to create the first version of the script?"

"Two days. He Weiju looked at Huo Dongjun and said: "It's just a simple plot for people's reference, to determine whether the direction chosen is correct, if it is really determined, it will take about a week to fill in the content." ”

"Then work hard for the screenwriter, hurry up with the script, create according to your personal ideas for the time being, and wait for you to come up with the first draft, and then we will discuss and revise. Huo Dongjun smiled at He Weiju and said, "If the script is eligible, we can discuss the issue of remuneration." ”

He Weiju nodded, he has been a little down-and-out recently, relying on being the agent of some small stars, taking stars to the United States to do some commercial performances with his American identity, barely making some money to maintain his current life, but in fact, he prefers to write scripts, he used to open a newspaper before, and he served as the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, which has a very literary foundation, and he filmed "Flying Fox" in Binbin The script is the main creative force, adding a lot of Hollywood style, but it is not clear that in the end, the box office will be bleak, this time Yuan Bingtai contacted him, saying that the salty and wet king acquired Binbin, and was ready to invest millions in the movie, he thought twice, or decided to come over to meet the salty and wet king, but after seeing it, he was a little disappointed, the proposition script is difficult to play, and many things are fixed and cannot be changed, which gives the screenwriter a great restriction on creation, if it were not for the exaggerated number of millions, he would not have agreed to write the script.

In the whole meeting, except for one He Weiju, one Yu Jin can be regarded as having real blockbuster movie experience, and everyone else is the kind of odd worker, who has no ideas, no technology, and can't say anything valuable while sitting in the conference room, Huo Dongjun looked at Yuan Bingtai with some boredom: "These are the basic contract makers, how many artists are there?"

Yuan Bingtai took out a piece of information from the Wen Jiàn folder in front of him and handed it to Huo Dongjun: "I sorted it out yesterday after you left, not counting those artists who can only play tricks, there are only six people who have filmed movies as the leading actors, and three of them have signed TV contracts with ATV in addition to our basic contract." ”

Huo Dongjun took the information, and the first one at the top made him a little uncertain, because this one also appeared in many Hong Kong movies he had watched, and he became an actor after decades of ups and downs.

Ren Huihua.

This information shows that Ren Yihua starred in two movies after signing with Binbin Pictures in 79, one is "Burning the Piano" shot by Liu Chenghan of Hongwei Pictures, which has gone bankrupt, and the other is a movie "The Informant" shot by Binbin Pictures itself, but these two movies did not do well at the box office, and Ren Yuhua has no films to shoot after that, and now he is doing odd jobs on the set.

Huo Dongjun looked at the photo of Ren Dahua on the information and smiled, he can be regarded as a strongman in the film and television industry, right? After all, Ren Yuhua is also an actor-level actor, but at this time, he has been reduced to no film to shoot, and can only play some small roles and receive some advertisements to maintain.

The second information is a famous actress, Liu Hongying, Huo Dongjun has no impression of this person, but looking at the information, this woman is a film and television singer, filming ATV TV series, singing, making movies, signed a basic contract with Binbin in 81, and has filmed two starring movies.

The third part, big eyes and fine eyes, Huo Dongjun almost laughed when he saw the photo of this person, sure enough, he had a pair of big and small eyes, his real name is Song Jinlai, he played tricks in Shaw Brothers in the 70s, and signed a basic contract with Binbin Pictures in 81.

......

Except for the first Ren Yihua who is familiar with Huo Dongjun, the other five artists who have starred in Colorful Pictures Huo Dongjun are completely impressed, no wonder Ye Zhiming is willing to give this company to himself for free, it is a complete mess, except for Ren Huihua, who will have to stay up for more than 20 years in the future to get the actor, and the fierce-looking screenwriter He Weiju, the whole company can basically be said to be all waste wood at this time, of course, the definition of this waste wood refers to Huo Dongjun who had never heard their names in his previous life.

"What about the director?" Huo Dongjun closed the information and asked Yuan Bingtai, "Have you ever been in contact with the director?"

"I contacted director Fang Yuping yesterday and told him about the scale of our investment and the idea of the film, and he was very interested. Yuan Bingtai seemed to have been waiting for Huo Dongjun to ask this question, and sat up straight excitedly when he said Fang Yuping's name.

"Who is Fang Yuping?" This is the question in Huo Dongjun's heart, but of course he can't ask it so directly: "I don't know this director Fang Yuping, so I'll be more detailed." ”

Yuan Bingtai seemed to be drenched in cold water, only then did he realize that the new boss was not an insider, just saying the three words Fang Yuping didn't seem to make him feel his hard work, and cleared his throat, Yuan Bingtai said: "Director Fang Yuping is the winner of the Best Film and Best Director at the Academy Awards twice, and the style of the two films "Father and Son Love" and "Half the Man" that we shot before seems to have something in common with the theme we chose this time, which is the most suitable director for this film. ”
