    When Luo Weiming walked into the office, he saw Zhang Aijia standing next to Shen Chong, leaning over to talk to him. The two were chatting and laughing, and seemed to be in a good mood, and he couldn't help but relax.  "Chief Editor Luo, hello." Luo Weiming nodded in response with a smile, and then said enthusiastically: "IvIa, it's better to meet by chance. Last time you came here, you were busy doing body painting for our boss, so I don't want to disturb you.  "You should be free today, right? Will you give us a chance to be interviewed by the magazine later?" "Chief Editor Luo, look at what you said, who wouldn't be proud to be interviewed by "Movie Times"?" Zhang Aijia looked at it.  Shen Chong said: "It's just that like you now, I am also a small employee under Boss Shen. I can't help but make the decision on my words and deeds." Luo Weiming reacted quickly and asked immediately: "So, IvIa also wants to be here.  Are you at work?" "She doesn't work here." Shen Chong said, "IvIa is planning to open a film studio similar to that of Director Hu Jinquan. Lao Luo, you are very talented, come and help me think of a name." Luo Weiming was surprised when he heard this.  Feeling again.  Oriental Charm's film production department is divided into five levels. Newcomers who have just entered the industry can only work as "production assistants" and handle various errands. After the assistants get through, they become "junior producers" and assist the director in overall planning.  Handle various affairs during the filming process, then "producer", handle all film affairs from the beginning of the script to the end of filming. At this level, you can already be on an equal footing with the director, and then "senior producer"  , handles all matters from the beginning of the script to the end of the release. This level is above the director, and has the power to choose the director, actors, and final editing of the film. The last is the "gold medal producer". At this level, it can no longer be regarded as  Oriental Charm is an employee, more like a partner. You can go out and open a studio or satellite company by yourself, rely on Oriental Charm's resources and funds to make movies, and split the box office and Oriental Charm accounts.  The gold medal producer system is similar to Jiahe's satellite company system, except that Oriental Charm has more favorable conditions and more available resources. Of course, the requirements for becoming a gold medal producer are also very strict. This system has been implemented since last year.  Only Hu Jinquan has his own film studio.  Hu Jinquan is one of the four famous directors in Hong Kong. He has been famous for more than ten years and has continued to produce masterpieces and is famous internationally. He is a gold medal producer and no one is dissatisfied. Zhang Aijia is only 25 or 25 years old. He has not even released a movie yet, and he can start working independently.  Luo Weiming couldn't help but sigh.  Sure enough, doing well is not as good as marrying well "Boss, are you setting a trap for me?" Luo Weiming sighed and said with a smile: "With you, the most talented person in Hong Kong, how can it be my turn to choose a name?  "I have never had the talent for naming." Shen Chong had no choice but to joke with him and said, "Lao Luo, don't be humble. Come up with one for me. Even if you don't think well, it's still a good idea. Maybe it can inspire me.  Inspiration: ¡°Boss, please spare me, this is your housework, how can I throw bricks around.  Luo Weiming was determined not to come forward and said, "Why do you want to see me?"  " "Well, let's get down to business first.  "Shen Chong turned his office chair, took out a folder from the cabinet at the back, handed it to him, and said: "This is the revised draft of next year's Academy Awards review system. Take it back and see what needs to be improved and improved.  Yes, after Chen Baisheng returns from the mainland, you will form a preparatory committee.  " " Are you starting to prepare for the Academy Awards now?  Luo Weiming was a little surprised. He took the folder and said, "It's only June now."  " "I plan to hold the Academy Awards in February each year in the future. April is too late. Movies are popular culture. If they are delayed for too long, they will not be fresh.  Shen Chong explained: "And generally, February coincides with the Lunar New Year. The festive days are more conducive to the publicity and ratings of the awards ceremony."  " "What about the Hong Kong International Film Festival in April?  Doesn¡¯t it mean that the two should cooperate with each other?  " "I tried it once this year, and Chen Baisheng found that the effect was not very good, because the previous international film festivals were very shabby. They were famous but not famous, and they were not large-scale. Putting them together with the Academy Awards, it was like a toad and a white film festival.  The swans stand together, and the audience's attention is completely attracted by the Academy Awards. The international film festival attracts very little attention from the audience and the media, so it is better to organize it separately, each doing its own thing, and the Academy Awards focus on Chinese.  Film, an international film festival focusing on independent films from Asia.  "    "fair enough.  Luo Weiming held the folder in his hand and said, "Then I'll go down first."  " "Why are you in such a hurry?  Shen Chong glanced at him, took out an ashtray from the drawer, and said, "Are you addicted to smoking?"  I can allow you to smoke a cigarette.  " "It's not that I want to smoke.  Luo Weiming did not take out his cigarette case, but said: "There is still something to do in the editorial department."  " "This week's "Movie Times" was released yesterday. Today is your most leisurely time, what can you do?  "Shen Chong pulled out another newspaper, pointed to the article on it, and asked:??: "Have you read this film review? Do you recognize Luo Yinquan?" Luo Weiming just stared at the newspaper and did not answer.  "Back then, Wu Zetian read King Luo Bin's memorandum and said that the prime minister was at fault and lost talents. Lao Luo, the person who wrote this film review is also a talent." Shen Chong knocked on the newspaper and said: ""Movie Times" has been in the works for so long  , How could such an excellent film critic go to Ming Pao to submit an article? " "I knew I couldn't escape your eyes, boss." Luo Weiming let out a long and troubled sigh, and then said with a broken expression:  "Boss Shen, thank you for your compliment. To tell you the truth, this article was actually written by me." Shen Chong was surprised and looked up at him. After talking about business just now, Zhang Aijia, who had been sitting quietly on the sofa invisibly, was also very surprised.  Surprised, he asked with a smile: "Editor-in-chief Luo, you, the dignified editor-in-chief of "Movie Times", actually went to "Ming Pao" to publish a film review?" Luo Weiming touched his hair awkwardly and laughed.  "Lao Luo, do you want to change jobs?" "Absolutely not." Luo Weiming quickly expressed his position and said: "Boss Shen, I am loyal to you and I can show it every day. I have absolutely no intention of changing jobs." Shen Chong saw his exaggerated expression.  , felt relieved, and said with a pretentious sneer: "Then you are just eating the inside out?" "Don't make it so serious." Luo Weiming begged for mercy and said: "Boss, I did this because I had a hidden reason." "How to say it?  ? " " On the day "Die Hard" premiered, a few friends and I went to see it. After watching it, when we went out for supper, they criticized your screenwriting skills, boss, saying it was too vulgar.  , nothing new, just relying on money and scenes. I have never liked movies that are too weird, so I refuted them at that time. After many arguments, no one was convinced, and we finally broke up." Luo Weiming took out the cigarette box again and said,  He dug out his hand and said: "After I got home, I followed the idea and wrote this article. "Film Times" is a publication owned by your boss, and I am the editor-in-chief. If I publish this article in my own magazine, there will be no flatterers.  Suspected that it would affect the image of the magazine, so Yu Jian went to Ming Pao. "That's it," Shen Chong thought thoughtfully. Last year, he was obsessed with hanging around in the film industry and was very concerned about the disturbances in the Hong Kong film industry.  Understand, but in the past six months, he has spent too much energy and time on industrial layout, coupled with the growth of wealth and status, he has become a little out of touch.  "Lao Luo." Shen Chong thought for a long time before saying: "It has been almost a year and a half since I mentioned the new wave of Hong Kong films last year. During this time, many innovative film works have appeared in Hong Kong.  , but there are a lot of messy things. Do you think there should be a new wave seminar where everyone can communicate with each other, summarize experiences, keep the good ones, and get rid of the bad ones? If we can summarize some systematic theories,  "It's better." "It's okay." Luo Weiming lit up his cigarette and said, "It's just that Hong Kong filmmakers are practical and don't like to study theory. It's okay to summarize some operational experience, but it's very difficult to summarize creative experience.  Moreover, there is no trade union in Hong Kong movies, and the entire industry is in disarray. Even if some good things are summarized, they may not be able to be promoted. " Shen Chong was noncommittal about the trade union. He pointed to the article in the newspaper and said, "I read your article.  "It's well written. It's about being consistent and winning by being strange. Movies should conform to the mainstream values ??of society, etc. It's very insightful. You can make a summary report at the seminar." "These are just specious and empty words."  It's just a talk, it has no practical significance." Luo Weiming took a puff of cigarette and said: "I am a film critic who has become a monk. I can comment on one or two movies alone, but I can't do a systematic summary.  The foundation is too weak and the vision is too low to write anything meaningful. It will only make people laugh. " "Then who do you think can write it?" Shen Chong asked: "How about Shi Qi?  I'm surprised to see him. He's half-toned just like me, and Shu Qi is the same." Luo Weiming rejected the three most famous film critics in Hong Kong, and then said: "Boss, if you ask me to tell you, if you really want to make a summary report, it's you.  No one else." "Me?" Shen Chong pointed at himself and said, "I haven't even written a movie review." "Boss, your humble expression is too fake." Luo Weiming immediately regained his composure.  He smiled and said: "Before you were developed last year, the article you published in Film Fortnight was recognized as a guiding article for the new wave of Hong Kong films. Now you are the big boss of Hong Kong films.  As a leader in the circle, you have the status and charisma. It would be best for you to write this summary report. " "I'll think about it again. " Shen Chong actually wants to write this summary report, but he's not sure if he has the time.  Before Luo Weiming left, he asked again: "Lao Luo, what does your pen name mean?" "Some people said that I am Boss Shen, your eagle dog, so I used a homophone." Shen Chong laughed.  .
