    Chapter 693 Three Fires

    Lin Xiansong did not introduce Xue Yi and Xue Zhengyi to Xia Tong. Xia Tong still thought that these two people were Lin Xiansong's followers. However, she had heard that Lin Xiansong seemed to have a lot of ostentation and would be accompanied by bodyguards from time to time.

    After walking for about ten minutes, we arrived in front of the third small theater of the Department of Performance.  The Performance Department of Longhua University has a total of four theaters. The largest theater is the First Theater, which can accommodate thousands of audiences and often hosts large-scale performances in Longhua and even Songhai.

    The Second Theater is medium in size and can accommodate about a thousand people. Some important rehearsals and previews of the Performance Department are arranged in the Second Theater.

    Since the third theater is called a small theater, it is because it is indeed too small. Not to mention that the audience seats are only two to three hundred, and even the stage is only about half of the first two theaters.  And it's not only small, it's also very shabby,

    After Lin Xiansong walked into the third small theater, he looked at the environment inside the theater and shook his head secretly in his heart. Although he didn't like to pay attention to ostentation, this theater was really not enough. After all, he also dreamed of film and television.  Shareholders are not.

    When Hu Chenghu saw Lin Xiansong and Xia Tong coming in, he temporarily stopped the reexamination and walked over.

    "Chenghu, I'm not telling you, this interview venue is a bit too simple." Lin Xiansong said to Hu Chenghu: "After all, we are also applying for the male lead in Dream Film's first film."

    Hu Chenghu smiled bitterly and said: "Xiansong, once you know the company's financial situation, you will know that this place is already good. As for this place, when I went to see Qingshang that day, a teacher from the acting department happened to go with me.  When she heard that Qingshang wanted to invest in Dream Film and Television, she agreed to lend the theater to Dream Film and Television for a month."

    "From the look of this theater, I guess no one has used it for a few years." Lin Xiansong said, pointing to a few broken tables and chairs that were loose and loose.

    "As long as it's free." Hu Chenghu said very contentedly: "And this is now the office location of our Dream Film and Television Company. It can be used for interviews and rehearsals, as well as office work. More importantly, it doesn't cost any money.  Money, how can you be content with such a good thing?"

    "What? This is still the company's office?" Lin Xiansong asked in slight surprise, then looked back at Xue Yi and Xue Zhengyi, thinking that I was planning to let you two come to work in the film and television company, and now this is the office environment.  , he felt that he was a little speechless.

    Lin Xiansong turned back to Xia Tong and asked, "Where did you work before Qingshang became a shareholder?"

    "In an office building." Xia Tong replied with some embarrassment: "At the beginning, we had plenty of funds, so we rented an office building near the school. Later, after taking pictures, the funds were not enough. The office building was naturally  There will be no more rent.¡±

    "It's okay to work here all the time." Lin Xiansong frowned slightly. Although he didn't care much about Dream Film and Television Company, in any case, this was the first company he actively participated in, and he also found  The Xue family's uncle and nephew came to help manage it.

    This is the first company to serve snacks, so it can¡¯t be too shabby, so he added: ¡°We still need to find a new office building as the company¡¯s office location.¡±

    "Boss Lin is so right." Zhang Zhichao clapped his hands and walked over and said, "We are very much looking forward to your investment bringing new signs to the company. Since you also feel that it is unreasonable to not have a normal office space, can you please  Please help solve this problem first."

    Seeing Lin Xiansong turn to look at Zhang Zhichao, Xia Tong quickly introduced Lin Xiansong: "This is one of the founding shareholders of our dream company and the director of the first filmthe original director Zhang Zhichao."

    Xia Tong then introduced to Zhang Zhichao: "Zhang Zhichao, this is Lin Xiansong, the new major shareholder of our Dream Film Company."

    Zhang Zhichao pulled out an unpleasant smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "Xia Tong, I know this boss Lin just from looking for him. Isn't your introduction unnecessary?"

    Lin Xiansong glanced at Zhang Zhichao. Of course he could feel it. The assistant director didn't seem to like him very much. I didn't seem to have offended him. Where did his evil attitude toward me come from?

    Of course, Lin Xiansong didn't want to be so inexplicably irritated. Not to mention that he was now the major shareholder of Dream Film and Television. In a certain relationship, he still had the upper hand over Zhang Zhichao. Even if they didn't have this relationship, they wouldn't suffer from this lack of fate.  The principle of unprovoked anger.

    "Originaldirector?" Lin Xiansong stretched out the original character, then sneered and said, "I have seen some of the things shot by the original director, and after watching it, I have one thought.  "

    Speaking of this, Lin Xiansong suddenly paused. Neither Hu Chenghu nor Xia Tong knew what he would say.Everyone showed a hint of curiosity. Although Zhang Zhichao knew from Lin Xiansong's tone that he might not get any good comments from Lin Xiansong's mouth, he still stared at him, waiting for the answer.

    "My feeling is that fortunately this director has become the original director, otherwise my investment would have been in vain." Lin Xiansong said with a thankful look on his face.

    As he spoke, Lin Xiansong raised his head and said to Hu Chenghu: "By the way, Chenghu, I forgot to tell you something. Qingshang called me at noon. During the phone call, we decided to appoint you as the director of this movie.  , as for other assistant directors, screenwriter Fu, etc., it is entirely up to you to decide."

    In fact, Lin Xiansong has never watched the half of Zhang Zhichao's movies. The most he can do is listen to Hu Chenghu's comments about that half of the movies. But since Zhang Zhichao doesn't like him, he won't give Zhang Zhichao any good looks.  .  His two sentences were not only a counterattack against Zhang Zhichao, but at the same time, when he appointed Hu Chenghu as director, he was equivalent to demoting Zhang Zhichao by half a level.

    Previously, the two of them were assistant directors on the crew. Although Yun Qingshang said that Hu Chenghu was the main director, they were still equal in terms of status. Moreover, Zhang Zhichao was a genuine film major after all, and his knowledge of filmmaking expertise was comparable to that of Hu Chenghu.  Much stronger, so in my heart I still disapprove of Hu Chenghu, the person in charge.

    Now that Lin Xiansong has appointed Hu Chenghu as director, the situation is completely different. Hu Chenghu has clearly surpassed Zhang Zhi, and he can also appoint and remove him.

    Lin Xiansong actually didn¡¯t want to show off as the major shareholder, but when he met everyone at Dream Film and Television Company for the first time and was disrespected for no reason, it would be impossible to talk about his prestige in the future.

    Since you don¡¯t respect me as a major shareholder, then naturally I won¡¯t give you any face.

    Yes, you are an ideal young man who is pursuing your dreams. Maybe you still have a little bit of talent, but now you have not even achieved anything, so what qualifications do you have to be crazy and arrogant?

    "You" Zhang Zhichao's expression was quite rich at this time, ranging from shock to anger, but also a little helpless.  He really didn't expect that he would receive such a counterattack when he vented his disdain and dissatisfaction with cold words.

    But he couldn't object to Lin Xiansong's appointment of Hu Chenghu as director. Although he was considered a minority shareholder of Dream Film and Television, he was the major shareholder. According to Xia Tong, Lin Xiansong now held as many shares as Yun Qingshang.  .  Although he was 80% sure that Yun Qingshang had not discussed the appointment of Hu Chenghu as director with Lin Xiansong, could he still call Yun Qingshang to ask?  And even if he really did this, he also knew that Yun Qingshang would most likely agree with Lin Xiansong's words.  After all, they were both major shareholders. Even if they had differences, they would never be revealed to outsiders. Moreover, he had also heard from Xia Tong that Lin Xiansong and Yun Qingshang had a very good relationship.

    "However, Zhang Zhichao is now at a young and arrogant age. He is still in college and has not had the opportunity to fight in society. He really can't hold back the depression and anger in his heart at this time. He can't bear it without retorting.

    Since he has no say or objection in the appointment of a director, he can only refute Lin Xiansong on the quality of making movies.

    "Since Boss Lin said that my film shooting is unsightly, do you have any good opinions or suggestions?" Zhang Zhichao looked at Lin Xiansong with a sneer and thought to himself: You are a history major, but I want to watch it.  See what reliable insights you can come up with.

    Lin Xiansong, on the other hand, didn't accept the call himself. He hadn't watched half of the movies directed by Zhang Zhichao, so he couldn't really make any comments. But just because he couldn't see it, it didn't mean that everyone else couldn't see it either.  , isn¡¯t there Director Hu, whom he just appointed, right next to him.

    Lin Xiansong turned to Hu Chenghu and said, "Chenghu, tell Assistant Director Zhang how many flaws he had in his half of the movie. You are more professional than me in this regard."

    When Hu Chenghu heard what Lin Xiansong said just now, he naturally understood what Lin Xiansong meant. He also knew that Lin Xiansong had meant to support him today. Who would have expected that he would encounter Zhang Zhichao as soon as he entered the door, so Xiansong  This kid followed the pole handed over by Zhang Zhichao, and not only established his own authority, but also straightened himself, the assistant director.

    Lin Xiansong glanced at Lin Xiansong and thought to himself: I don¡¯t know whether this kid¡¯s attack just now was intentional or unintentional, but he unknowingly killed two birds with one stone.

    However, regardless of whether Lin Xiansong intended it or not, Hu Chenghu had to help Lin Xiansong hold up this scene. If he was questioned by Zhang Zhichao like this in person, not only would Lin Xiansong, the major shareholder, lose face, but he, the director, would probably lose face in the future.  Authority within the crew will also be greatly affected.

    Although Hu Chenghu majored in history and had nothing to do with film and television majors, he?I have actually been the assistant director of a Jiangnan Eight Arts stage play. I have benefited a lot from being with a well-known and outstanding director like Li Yanran for such a long time.

    In addition, Hu Chenghu is very eloquent and has a first-class ability to find faults, so when he went on and on about the flaws and shortcomings of the half of the movies made by Zhang Zhichao, Zhang Zhichao actually showed a trace of shame on his face.

    "As soon as Hu Chenghu's mouth stopped, Zhang Zhichao said with a pale face: "I admit that I made some mistakes during the filming of this half of the movie, but this is my first work, in terms of experience"

    "Assistant Director Zhang." Hu Chenghu, who took a sip of water, interrupted Zhang Zhichao's defense and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet. I was thirsty after talking just now, so I took a sip of water. I just said about half of it.  "

    Hearing what Hu Chenghu said, Zhang Zhichao's face turned even paler. It's not bad. You're only telling half of it. My half of the movie is already riddled with holes and worthless. Now let me tell you the other half.  , then I would be so ashamed that I would jump into the river.

    "No, I can't let him continue to say this, otherwise I will never be able to hang out on the crew in the future. But he can't stop Hu Chenghu's remarks without any reason. Wouldn't that make him feel guilty even more?"

    So he had good excuses and reasons. He thought carefully about the loopholes and shortcomings Hu Chenghu just mentioned, and immediately found that most of the scenes involved the male protagonist, and many of them were directly related to the male protagonist's performance level.  relation.

    "Director Hu." Zhang Zhichao's name for Hu Chenghu has also changed, and there is a little respect in his tone. He can't help it, although Hu Chenghu is not only a director now, but also can really find so many flaws in his movies. Although Zhang Zhichao is heartbroken  He is a bit arrogant, but he is not the kind of character who would rather be stubborn than save face. He will still respect those who are capable and powerful.

    "Many of the shortcomings and loopholes you mentioned are due to the lack of strength of the male protagonist." Zhang Zhichao finally found a scapegoat, but speaking of it, this scapegoat was not unjust. His poor performance made the actor who was not very good in the first place  That half of the movie dropped another two notches.

    "If there is a male protagonist with rich experience and excellent acting skills, the situation will be much better." Zhang Zhichao said and looked at those who came to participate in the re-examination and said: "Director Hu, you should have seen this already.  Question, otherwise why would the first thing you do after coming to the crew be to recruit a new male lead?"

    Seeing that Zhang Zhichao had given in, Hu Chenghu didn't intend to take advantage of the victory and pursue it. It was just a little fight of spirits, but if it was too much, it would be unsightly.

    Hu Chenghu nodded and said, "Assistant director Zhang is right. The male protagonist is indeed the biggest failure in that half of the movie."

    ¡°Assistant director Zhang must have been the director and screenwriter at the time.¡± Lin Xiansong said in a nonchalant tone.

    Zhang Zhichao certainly knew the meaning of Lin Xiansong's words, but after Lin Xiansong and Hu Chenghu's repeated beatings, he also knew that now he did not have the qualifications and strength to continue to refute and argue with the other party, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Boss Lin  "

    "Don't call me boss." Lin Xiansong frowned, interrupted Zhang Zhichao, and said, "I don't like this title very much."

    Zhang Zhichao opened his mouth and felt a chill in his heart. He thought to himself: Could it be that Lin Xiansong has made up his mind to kick himself out of the crew or even leave Dream Film and Television Company?

    It¡¯s no wonder that Zhang Zhichao has this idea. Calling him boss can make Lin Xiansong unhappy. In Zhang Zhichao¡¯s view, this is Lin Xiansong¡¯s excuse.  If a major shareholder always dislikes an assistant director, he might find an excuse to get rid of him as an assistant director one day.

    Zhang Zhichao majored in film. His appearance was ordinary, neither handsome nor distinctive, and he had no talent for acting, so he could only pin his film dream on the career of director.  However, he is just an ordinary film student. He does not have a substantial family fortune for him to pursue his dreams, nor does he have rich connections, so for him, dreaming about film and television is the wings of his dreams, and now, he feels that his wings are growing.  Being cut off.

    "You can call him Mr. Lin." Xue Zhengzheng reminded: "Mr. Lin doesn't like people to call him boss or boss."

    Hearing this, Zhang Zhichao cautiously said to Lin Xiansong, "Mr. Lin."

    Seeing that Lin Xiansong did not make trouble this time, he glanced at Xue Zhengyi gratefully, and then continued: "I had no choice but to use this male protagonist at that time. At that time, he was the largest shareholder of Dream Film and Television, and more than half of the company's share capital was  His, he wanted to play the male lead when he bought the shares."

    Seeing Zhang Zhichao¡¯s change from arrogant and arrogant to cautious and cautious now, other members of the crew were secretly surprised. In their opinion, thisIt was Lin Xiansong's three fires when he took office. The first fire was to burn away Zhang Zhichao's arrogance and dissatisfaction. I don't know what the next two fires would be.

    Xia Tong also helped Zhang Zhichao at this time and said: "This is indeed the case. At that time, we felt that since everyone was pursuing the same dream, even if his acting skills were a little worse, he could always improve slowly as long as he worked hard and attentively. Who would have thought  " Saying this, Xia Tong showed a slight wry smile.

    If he hadn¡¯t spent a lot of money, would you have let him play the leading role because you have the same dream as him?  Although Lin Xiansong thought so in his heart, he did not say it out loud. After all, saying these words on this occasion would be too harsh for all the crew members present.

    To realize dreams, you need to make sacrifices, and compromise is also a part of it. It seems that they already understood these principles when they first established Dream Film and Television. However, although they understood it, they were somewhat resistant in their hearts, so they used the phrase "Have a common ideal"  'To comfort and convince yourself.

    "Okay." Lin Xiansong waved his hand and said, "These problems have become a thing of the past. Now you can choose suitable actors to play various roles in the movie."

    As he spoke, Lin Xiansong turned aside and introduced the Xue family's uncle and nephew to the crew, saying: "From now on, Mr. Xue Yi and Mr. Xue Zhengzheng will be responsible for the company's finances and expenses."

    Dream Film and Television's previous accounts were managed by the shareholders themselves, which was not formal at all, so there was a situation where the movie was not even half-shot and the budget was used up. After Yun Qingshang took over, she naturally would not let them manage the finances, so she asked them to  A financial company was established to manage the finances of Dream Film and Television.

    Now Lin Xiansong has invited his uncle and nephew from the Xue family to take charge of the company's finances, which finally makes Dream Film and Television look more formal.

    "Mr. Xue." Lin Xiansong said to Xue Yi: "Find an office building nearby as soon as possible. This is really not a place to work."

    Hearing this, Xue Yi nodded first, and then said: "Mr. Lin, I have a suggestion to tell you."

    "Mr. Xue, why are you so polite? Just tell me what you think." Lin Xiansong said to Xue Yi.

    Xue Yi then said: "Before entering the small theater, I saw an abandoned two-story building behind the small theater. If we can rent it, I think it would be better than renting an office building outside."
