Less than an hour and a half after hanging up the phone, Wang Jiawei walked in breathlessly, "Mr. Chen, you're looking for me?"

"It's not me who's looking for you, it's him." Chen Xing pointed at Huang Ze.

"Long time no see, great singer, great director." Wang Jiawei, without sunglasses, said nice things while extending his hand to Huang Ze. "I watched the movie you directed at Shuangnan Cinema, Good Will Hunting, it's a very good movie."

“No wonder the shots you designed when shooting the music video were so good.”

"Are you still going to shoot a music video with me this time? Do you have any ideas for the shots? I'll listen to you."

"No, I want to make a movie and want you to be my assistant director. How about that? Are you interested? If you feel that this is not stable enough, you can come and work in my new company. The salary of an average white-collar worker is 4,000 to 5,000 yuan. I will give you 7,000 yuan, and you will get bonuses for making the movie."

Huang Ze couldn't open his mouth even though the salary was too low, considering that he had exploited the other party so hard.

After all, that was the work that King of Sunglasses praised the most, so spending an extra two thousand yuan a month's salary would be considered psychological comfort.

It’s not about comforting the King of Sunglasses, he doesn’t need it, it’s about comforting myself.

Anyway, you won’t lose in the end.

However, Wang Jiawei had no reaction to the salary, his mind was full of six words.

"Movie shooting, assistant director."

At this moment, he felt a fire suddenly burst out in his heart.

After all, he is a serious college student, but he can only write scripts and be a screenwriter in the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

Even so, he has not yet made a name for himself in the screenwriting industry.

Who in the film industry doesn’t want to be a director?

The key to making the most money is to shoot however you want and for as long as you want.

Well, although the position Huang Ze is currently offering is an assistant director.

But the only difference between an assistant director and a director is the word "deputy", so it's closer than a screenwriter, right?
Fellow countrymen are still the best!

“I’d like to join the company!”

Wang Jiawei knew that Huang Ze in front of him had considerable financial strength. As a director, coming to Hong Kong Island to set up a company, it seemed that he was not playing around. He became more and more excited and immediately nodded in agreement.

Then I couldn't help but fantasize, "Boss, will I have a chance to be a director and make a movie in the future?"

"As long as you write the script first and I review it, it's not impossible for me to be the director after you finish filming this movie. It's impossible for me to be the only one making a movie in my film company." He agreed first. As long as the project and cost were blocked, King of Sunglasses would not necessarily lose money.

Avoid the two big pitfalls of "Days of Being Wild" and "Ashes of Time", and everything will be fine.

"Okay, I will definitely work hard."

Wang Jiawei smiled, and after laughing, he thought of his unfortunate buddy.

"By the way, boss, you said that your company is newly opened, so do you need any staff? I have a friend whose company just closed down this year, and he is very talented."

"What position did he hold in his previous company?" Huang Ze asked.

"General Manager." Wang Jiawei felt that the smile on his face was a little bitter. "But the biggest factor in the company's collapse was not him. He is really talented, not inferior to me."

"Okay, for your sake, what's his name?" Huang Ze asked.

"Liu Zhenwei."

"Oh……"

Huang Ze immediately recognized the name: a man with a round face and a big forehead.

It seems that in my previous life, I had been a martial artist in his "The Unparalleled".

He has written and directed "God of Gamblers", "Black Rose vs. Black Rose 1992", and the two parts of "A Chinese Odyssey".

What people talked about most was naturally the big guy Wang Jiawei who took a group of big stars into the desert, but the progress was surprisingly slow. Seeing that the schedule was about to arrive, there was no choice but for his friend Liu Zhenwei to visit the set, and took that group of people to shoot "A Chinese Odyssey" in less than a month, which earned 2200 million at the box office.

It's a talent.

I didn't expect there would be a buy one get one free sale today.

"Okay, ask him to come over so we can meet." "Okay, then I'll ask him to come here at 2:30 pm?"

"Okay!" Huang Ze nodded and let him go.

As soon as it was time to get off work, Huang Ze took Chen Xing and several people who had worked with him when recording songs in Hong Kong Island to a restaurant.

“Thank you all for your help last year.”

"Today everyone ate and drank to their heart's content."

"I'll pay for all the expenses."

Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow are the two most popular actors in Hong Kong. They have completely different approaches to the people around them. Comparatively speaking, Huang Ze prefers Jackie Chan's approach a little more.

Being happy is the most important thing.

Anyway, I'm not short of money, so how much can I spend on food and drink?

The reputation gained is worth the money.

There's no need to spend all the money you earn and in the end no one says a good word about it.

After feeding each of these people until their stomachs were full, Huang Ze paid the bill and returned to Chen Xing's office.

Wang Jiawei and Liu Zhenwei were already waiting.

"Hello there!"

"Hello, Director Huang, you are so famous!" Liu Zhenwei stretched out his hands, bowed slightly, and shook hands with Huang Ze. "I like your movies very much. The Good Will Hunting is really good. I think if it was shot in Hong Kong Island, the box office would not be low."

"Haha, thank you for the compliment." Huang Ze smiled.

"Jia Wei said you are very talented. I trust people I employ, and I don't employ people I doubt. Since I have employed Jia Wei, I believe what he says."

"You don't need to know more. The position of vice president of the company is now handed over to you."

"I'm the general manager, but I spend most of my time making movies. I'm only in charge of the general direction. You'll be in charge of the basic work. Your salary will be based on your previous company's price. I won't investigate. Just give me a number."

"Ah!" Liu Zhenwei was surprised by Huang Ze's frankness and generosity, and was embarrassed to ask for more. "You give Jiawei 7,000, and I'll give 7,000 as well. We can adjust it later if he does well."

"This……"

"That's it, Mr. Huang." Liu Zhenwei said, "Seven thousand is enough, and I believe our company will get better and better."

"By the way, Mr. Huang, what is the name of our company and where is our office located?"

"Oh, we haven't completed the process yet." Huang Ze said without any embarrassment, "We are going to call it Xinghai Films. The office address is on Nathan Road. I will take you to have a look first. Once the company license comes, you will be the HR person first. Set up the HR department and build the framework of an ordinary film and television company. Buy whatever you need."

"I have to go back to the mainland in a few days, which will take about ten days. It would be best if I could get it done during this time."

"When I come to Hong Kong Island again, our company's opening film will be ready to start."

"Let's go and take a look at the venue first." Huang Ze greeted Chen Xing, put on sunglasses in front of Wang Jiawei, and led the two of them to the parking lot. There were two Mercedes-Benz cars, which were more than enough to accommodate the two of them even with four bodyguards.

This also made the two more confident in Huang Ze's economic strength.

There are many wealthy people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but not everyone of them goes out with four 1.8-meter-tall bodyguards.

Just looking at it makes people feel at ease.

……

I came to the parking lot in the building where the company's office was located and took the elevator to the first floor. The elevator opened and a young girl who looked less than 20 years old walked in, holding a resume.

He has been staring at Huang Ze since he came in.

Huang Ze caught a glimpse of someone looking at him, and turned his head to glance at the other person.

He has thick bangs, his eyebrows are invisible, his face is full of baby fat, and he wears black-framed glasses. Judging from the thickness of the glasses, they must have a prescription of nearly a thousand degrees.

When Huang Ze turned his head, the other party was startled. His glasses were bulging, which did not look very good. However, his voice was quite sweet. "Jerry Huang? No, Huang Ze, right? I like your songs so much."
