After waiting for a long time and still not receiving a reply, Liu Shuangxi asked angrily: "Director Wu has been working in the film and television industry for 12 years, especially in the directing industry. Hasn't there been any unspoken rules for any actress?"
Zeng Xiaoxian said: "This Mr. Wu has been in the film and television industry since 1971 and has worked as a director, screenwriter, actor, and producer. I have never been in contact with him before and I really don't know what his hobbies are. As for negative comments, there are definitely no negative comments. What do you mean by the unspoken rules of double jubilee?
"Nani? As the boss of a film company, you don't even know the unspoken rules." Liu Shuangxi felt like he was talking to a duck, but he immediately discovered the problem and said, "Forget it, forget it. Uncle Zeng was born in the new society and grew up under the red flag, so forget it if you don¡¯t know about these dark side things. You¡¯d better call Brother Long here, I think it¡¯s better to understand these situations through him.¡±
In fact, during this period, Zeng Xiaoxian also spent a lot of thought on Director Wu, but he has only been in Xiangjiang for a few years and does not spend much time in the company. He can only be regarded as half of the film and television industry and does not understand these inside stories. The news is not unusual. According to Liu Shuangxi's request, Brother Long quickly came to the conference room.
"Aaron, this is Mr. Liu Shuangxi from the board of directors. He has some information that you need to know. You have to tell him as much as you know. This is related to the company's support for you in the future."
Although Zeng Xiaoxian was laughing and joking just now when there were no outsiders, when he faced the employees, he acted like a boss. At least in terms of tone, Brother Long, who was nearly forty years old, felt very oppressive.
Seeing that Brother Long was a little nervous, Liu Shuangxi said: "Mr. Tan, let's just talk about some family matters. It's not as serious as Uncle Zeng said. If I remember correctly, you were born in 1946."
What Zeng Xiaoxian said just now really made Brother Long feel a little uneasy. He knew that his acting career began to enter a low period after 1979. Even the birth of his son in 1980 did not bring much good luck. Recently, even the Shaw Brothers who have served for many years have , there were rumors that he was going to be fired.
"Mr. Liu, you are right. I was born in August 1946. I was admitted to the Southern Actor Training Class of Shaw Brothers Company in 1968. I started my acting career in 1969. I won the Outstanding Acting Special Award at the 11th Golden Horse Award in 1973. Award, the Outstanding Acting Award at the 19th Asia Pacific Film Festival in the same year, and the Leading Actor at the 25th Asia Pacific Film Festival in 1979"
"Mr. Tan, please relax a little. As we said, we're just talking about everyday things. I just want to get to know Director Wu through you. Whether it's good or bad about him, please tell me everything you know."
Liu Shuangxi interrupted Brother Long in time, because he knew Brother Long's resume, and then said that it was not nutritious, and that it was none of his business. Brother Long's less than standard Mandarin was also smoother.
"Mr. Liu, you really asked the right person. Director Wu is one month younger than me. He officially entered the film and television industry. He started filming at Shaw Brothers in 1971 with the famous action film director Zhang. Two years later, he started his first film "Passengers" ", then joined Golden Harvest as a director, and made many comedies in the next ten years. However, the situation has not been very good in the past few years. When we were drinking tea together a few days ago, we said that the upper management of New Art City planned to let him go Go to Treasure Island.¡±
Feeling that there was some friendship between the two, Liu Shuangxi suddenly changed his mind and planned to ask this old friend to come forward and invite Director Wu to come over. As for digging into other people's privacy, he should not do such shady things for the time being.
"If I understand correctly, Mr. Tan, you should have a good relationship with Director Wu. Then please go and persuade him to come to our company to develop together. Uncle Zeng will discuss salary details with you later. of."
But these words did not resonate with Brother Long. In his opinion, Zeng Xiaoxian's company, although it has the Zeng Group as its background, is still a small company that is not up to par in the Hong Kong film and television industry. Brother Long looked hesitant, something Zeng Xiaoxian had encountered a lot recently. When he hired people according to Liu Shuangxi's plan in the past few months, everyone was skeptical of him. No one believed in their company, which relied on renting out equipment. Is it possible to make a blockbuster movie?
"Aaron, we have everything ready now. The only thing we need is Director Wu. After he officially joins, I can make you return to the ranks of first-line movie stars with this film. And I want to tell you, we The company¡¯s ambition is not just in a small market like Hong Kong, Director Liu plans to officially enter Hollywood next year.¡±
Zeng Xiaoxian really deceived Brother Long. Once the most beautiful boy in Xiangjiang, he has been reduced to the status of being on the bench today. No one can no longer miss the past time more than him. Anyway, he had been a third-tier actor in Shaw Brothers for a long time, and even when he was about to be fired, Brother Long gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try.
"Boss Zeng, Director Liu, thank you for your trust in me. I will definitely work hard for the company in the future. As for Director Wu, I will try my best to fight for it. If it doesn't work, I willSending his son away made his whole family restless"
When Brother Long mentioned his son, everyone in the conference room laughed except for Liu Shuangxi. After he asked Ding Wan, he found out that Mrs. Tan brought the three-year-old Young Master Tan to visit the class a few days ago, and it had only been a morning. The company was in a state of chaos all of a sudden. Zeng Xiaoxian even gave Brother Long strict orders, telling him to keep an eye on his son and not to come closer than 20 meters to him.
Based on the hard work of the eldest son of the Tan family, Brother Long should be inseparable from "persuading" Director Wu. After finalizing the matter, Liu Shuangxi had an understanding of the overall preparations for the film. Zeng Xiaoxian explained to him that Ding Wan has handled the script impeccably, the actors are basically in place, and there are no problems with other logistical work. It can be said that the film can be officially started after Director Wu comes.
Seeing that the company's internal arrangements were in place, Liu Shuangxi asked about the publicity situation again. Zeng Xiaoxian patted his chest and pushed him and said, "Don't worry about this. Several entertainment weeklies and newspapers have already promised me that as long as our film starts shooting, it will be done." Reporters will come to visit the team to ensure that the news they send out is positive."
Liu Shuangxi shook his head and said: "If there are only a few newspapers, it will definitely not be enough. Our film must also be widely reported on TV and broadcast channels. In short, before it is released, the hot spots in Hong Kong must be broadcast it's here."
Zeng Xiaoxian said in frustration: "I thought my ideas were avant-garde enough, but I didn't expect you to think further than me. You know, in the past, movie promotion was nothing more than putting up a few posters, but if we do what you say, then we will cost It¡¯s going to increase a lot.¡±
Liu Changtian interjected at this time: "When it comes to publicity, Lao Zeng, you have to learn from my apprentice. His method of promoting Liu Laoji to the Spring Festival Gala this year is even copied by Coca-Cola America."
Liu Shuangxi said with a smile: "Don't be afraid to spend more money. The main thing is to produce results. There is also publicity in the entertainment industry. In addition to positive news, we also need to come up with some lace to attract the audience's attention. Uncle Zeng, you want If you have time, you can have a verbal spat with reporters or something"
Who would have thought that his seemingly random idea could actually solve Zeng Xiaoxian's life-long event. ¡
