“Ding ding!”

Early that morning, a minibus stopped near the Qingshui Bay Studios, and two poor guys, Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei, jumped off. They entered the main building a little nervously, found the large conference room, and came to hold a meeting for the first time.

People came in one after another, and the star-studded ceremony was no less dazzling than that of the Academy Awards.

With the sound of "beep beep", Wang Jing's QQ also came online, looking around, arrogant, second only to the first person and above everyone else. Many people rolled their eyes, expressing their contempt.

Because Wang Jing has not yet fully proved his ability like he did in the 1990s, in everyone's eyes he is just a tool for the boss.

Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei hid in a corner, unwilling to make a sound. But a guy next door came over and started a conversation: "Hello, my name is Zhang Jianya, from Shanghai Film Studio. What's your name?"

"Hello, hello!"

Liu Zhenwei clasped his fists, but Wang Jiawei was very curious and asked, "Are you from Shanghai?"

"I'm from Fujian, studying in Beijing, and was assigned to the Shanghai Film Studio. Your Mandarin is pretty good. Where is your hometown?"

“I’m from Shanghai.”

"Oh, nice to meet you!"

Zhang Jianya became more and more enthusiastic and self-confident. Two years ago, people from Shanghai Film Studio came to Hong Kong to do OEM work, but there were disciplinary problems. Chen Qi ignored them for a year and did not cooperate with them until this year, so Zhang Jianya came again.

He asked, "How long have you been in the company? Did you apply for the job on your own?"

"Woolen cloth.."

The two were embarrassed. They couldn't say that they had to join in because they saw the two breasts, right?

Fortunately, Chen Qi came in at this time and freed the two of them, and the conference room instantly became quiet. Chen Qi sat in the front, glanced around, and without any nonsense, directly deployed this year's work arrangements.

Let’s talk about Hong Kong first. It is already very mature and can be completely let go.

After that, he asked the relevant personnel to leave first, and then said: "Next, let's talk about the overseas production plan. This year we have a heavy task. We have to make three movies, "In New York", "Mean Girls" and "Rain Man".

"I have my own plans for 'In the City'. 'Rain Man' was produced in collaboration with Columbia. 'Mean Girls' is an independent production. Wong Jing is the director, and Yau Shu-chun and Moon Lee will still make cameo appearances."

"Mean Girls" is this year's foreign exchange-earning film.

It is also a youth comedy. The original version was released in 2004 and took in 120 million at the box office. Starring Lindsay Lohan,

Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried, etc.

It is about a simple and innocent girl who transferred to a new school and was ostracized and ridiculed. There is a sister group in the school, led by a villain school beauty, who knew that the heroine liked the hero, but snatched him away in front of her.

In order to get revenge, the heroine pretended to be the school beauty's follower, integrated into the sister group, secretly instigated discord, but unknowingly lost herself and became more and more like the school beauty. In the end, the heroine woke up and found her original intention——"

"Mean Girls" is very famous, and it is filled with a lot of scenes of girls fighting openly and secretly, the kind where four people in a dormitory set up six groups.

Chen Qi still modified the details according to the characteristics of the times, which is actually a continuation of the youth storm of "Happy Death Day". With the experience of the previous work, Wang Jing naturally handed it over to him to direct. If he makes a few more films, he will accidentally become the godfather of American youth films.

Wang Jing is incredibly strong now.

"Okay! The people involved in these three films can leave now!"

After Chen Qi finished his deployment, another group of people left and continued, "The remaining dozens of people are all from the B-level film task force. I will produce 15 films this year. Currently, 5 are relatively complete and can be filmed soon. 6 are in the process of writing scripts, and 4 are vacant.

I won't hide it anymore. Everyone knows that we are here to earn foreign exchange and expand the video tape industry. As long as there are practical benefits, it doesn't matter if we shoot some pornographic and violent things! Of course, we should keep a low profile and not talk nonsense.

So as not to be sunk into the pond.

This year I will open up franchising, and the number of stores may have a leap, so the film supply must keep up. "

"There are local employees and mainland employees here. I hope you...

Chen Qi paused and amended his words: "You must work together in unity, with efficiency and quality as the top priority. Anyone who delays progress will suffer the consequences! We are all elites in the film industry, and there are a few scripts that really caught my eye after reading them.

For example, for the story written by Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei, I gave them a budget of $300,000.

P

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started looking for them. They didn't recognize the two men, but they knew whoever had an unnatural expression was the one.

Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei didn't expect to be called out. They shrank their necks and showed awkward but friendly smiles, like two stupid groundhogs.

"For the next 11 films, please introduce the title and plot of each one so that we can get to know each other better. Mou Dundi, you go first!"

“Doomsday Cult! After World War III, the world has entered a wasteland era. A man uses religion to brainwash people and rules over them in a bunker.”

Mou Dundi was brief and to the point.

It sounds grandiose, with world wars and global wastelands, all of which are fancy backgrounds. Why is the bunker space set up? It is for studio shooting to reduce the number of exterior scenes.

Yu Rentai followed and said, "'American Taoist Priest vs. Japanese Zombies'! An American is obsessed with Hong Kong zombie movies and travels a long way to find Uncle Nine to learn from him. Lam Ching-ying will make a cameo appearance, but of course he doesn't know how to catch ghosts, so he just taught him a few tricks.

This American was very pious. He usually dressed like a Taoist priest and practiced his skills diligently. As a result, he really encountered zombies, which were transformed from defeated Japanese soldiers! "

Soon it was Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei's turn.

They were so ashamed that they had to say it, and they stood up hesitantly: "Our work is called "Battle for Jie Bao", which pays tribute to "Happy Death Day" and tells the story of a man who protects Jie Bao in a time loop..."

"Hahaha!"

The whole audience burst into laughter and instantly accepted the two newcomers. Then came the incomprehensible words, such as "shrinking the penis into the abdomen", "thousand-pound weight", "regeneration after surgery", "eunuchs and palace maids eating together", etc. The venue was filled with a happy atmosphere.

The two of them covered their faces, feeling that their dark history had been posted all over the Internet, in high definition.

But at the same time there is a strange sense of identity.

Because listening to the speeches later, everyone's film titles were very difficult to hold together, the contents were very outrageous, and the imaginations were very wild. It was like a group of mentally ill people sitting together to study how to be pornographic, violent and horrific. It was unique in Hong Kong.

When the introduction was finished, Chen Qi couldn't help laughing and knocked on the table: "When a B-level movie is made, it can not only be released on videotapes, but also win awards and be shown in theaters, just like "Sweetheart".

Our basic budget is $150,000 to $200,000, but if you think your story is good, feel free to apply to Zhuang Cheng.

Or contact me directly and we will increase your budget!

You are all members of the same task force. You should help each other and communicate more. Only when your ideas collide can you generate more inspiration.”

"Okay, meeting adjourned!"

The conference room quickly emptied.

Chen Qi gently rubbed his temples. He felt tired from doing such intense work year after year. But he couldn't rest. He immediately called Gu Weili and told her, "I want to set up a publishing company to publish publications. Go and get the formalities done."

"Publishing company?"

Gu Weili was stunned and asked, "Boss, what kind of publication do you want to publish?"
