The rise of Korean entertainment.

Chapter 1937 Invitation

Seeing that this group of people retreated after being scolded by him, it is reasonable to say that they should be in a happy mood, but Li Menglong is not happy at all, it is really that the mood of this group of people is too weird.

Being scolded by the leader in public in an ordinary company, this employee will definitely be under a lot of psychological pressure. Maybe it is possible to hand over the resignation letter directly after an hour, but is sw an ordinary company?Is Li Menglong an ordinary leader?
So Li Menglong didn't dare to think too highly of his own influence. Of course, the group of people on the opposite side would give him some respect, but at most they didn't come to bother him. How could he be happy after being scolded? Not a bunch of fools!
There is 100% a problem here, but Li Menglong doesn't know where the problem is, so he can only sit here depressed and think secretly, and at the same time, everyone who escaped the catastrophe is also carrying on his back. Li Menglong celebrated in a low voice. Of course, he was also secretly grateful. It is a blessing to work in this kind of company. Do ordinary companies dare to smile like this with their leaders?
Whether it is to keep the job or to give back to the company, in short, everyone saw that Li Menglong was out of trouble, and quickly entered the working state. As for whether Li Menglong is working or not, it does not matter. After accumulating the past, he will naturally keep up with the rhythm.

It is said that some time ago when Xu Xian was here, everyone was doing preliminary preparations and final inspections and supplements based on Xu Xian's project. Although there were not many things in the last few days, they were not at ease until the last moment Yes, after all, she really regards Xu Xian as her own sister, so she must try her best to be as perfect as possible, right?

However, as Xu Xian was about to start work, the company was idle. After all, there are very few people in this group who need to go to the scene to help. It doesn't mean that they don't have that ability. After all, their team is considered a small one in the industry. famous.

They have been cooperating since the first two days and one night variety show, and gradually expanded their business after following Director Luo to SW, dabbling in everything from TV dramas to movies.

Naturally, the credits of Director Luo and Li Menglong are indispensable, but Li Enxi's vision also played a vital role. Talents are crucial no matter what industry they are in. Except for director talents like Li Menglong, other behind-the-scenes jobs You can't fall behind, so there is this group of people who are constantly learning and participating!
Of course, at the beginning they were also the kind of thugs. Li Menglong and Luo Dao also found many great masters in the industry to take care of them, but in the end they were still easy to use. After honing a few works, these people gradually It's starting to take the lead.

They started the two recent TV series. They have not tried independent films yet, but they are very confident in themselves. As for the opportunity, the film of Li Menglong is their first independent step. step!
So seriously, these people are the behind-the-scenes creative team of Li Menglong's film. They cover almost all the work from photography, editing, soundtrack to scene, actor deployment, etc. Basically, pulling these people out is a crew.

A few days ago, helping Xu Xian was really due to this group of people. They work overtime when they have nothing to do. It’s not that Li Menglong deliberately tormented these people. By the way, he is also working overtime, okay? He doesn’t have any tendency to masochistic. There is work to be done.

During that period of time, it was equivalent to the whole film team putting down their work during the day and doing their best to help Xu Xian straighten out the TV series. Otherwise, how could Xu Xian, a rookie, prepare so well in the early stage? This is because there is an entire film team behind to help check for gaps and fill in the gaps. .

One of the results of this is that Li Menglong is somewhat looking forward to the specific presentation of Xu Xian's three-episode TV series. Let alone what will be filmed in the end, the level of detail behind the preparations is really no less than that of a movie. It is said to be three movies. It's not impossible.

And the consequence of this will naturally be that the workload during the day will explode. If it’s just like this, it’s fine. Everyone has the right to help Xu Xian, but you must know that Li Menglong’s movie has also been approved, not the kind of internal discussion. , but the entire company is completely settled.

This kind of plan does not mean that the time limit of each step is particularly tight, but the room for each other is not particularly large. Otherwise, the shooting process will be delayed for half a month, and the editing process will be delayed for another month. Delay for a year?So how does the publicity team plan to release it?
That is to say, the preparatory work for the film in their hands could not be stopped, so they had to work overtime from time to time every day. During that time, their bodies were exhausted on the one hand, and the other was mainly on their brains. This day had to be changed. Many times, it's a headache!
Fortunately, it was the end of all hardships. Although Xu Xian's departure would make the office lack a beautiful scenery, but at the same time it would greatly reduce their workload. At least they could concentrate on one thing.

As a result, a lot of preparatory work began to be brought together to Li Menglong, which was quite messy, from the selection of cameras and rental fees to the size and level of passer-by actors, in short, basically all the big and small things were sent.

Of course, everyone didn’t come here to cause trouble for Li Menglong. All the questions were sent with relevant suggestions. If Li Menglong had no doubts, he would pass it directly, otherwise he would call back. At this time, the other party would come to communicate with Li Menglong.

Xu Xian has always been envious of this kind of state of taking care of everything, but just like many idols who have just debuted envy their Girls' Generation, there are many things that are really not enviable, not just hard work, And talent, timing, and more.

Li Menglong has really done all the handymen that can be done on the set. I dare not say that he is proficient in every job, but at least it is not a problem to say one or two. Coupled with the tacit cooperation of the whole team, Li Menglong Current state.

It’s hard to say whether this is a good habit, but directors don’t have any standards for things like this. Anyway, it’s enough to make a good-looking movie. This is Xu Xian’s excuse to comfort herself. Many times, she can’t judge the people below. He's not fooling her. Fortunately, these people have been specially entrusted by Li Menglong, and they seem to be fine.

Li Menglong's work has obviously started to speed up. With him as the center, almost no one in the office is idle. When they came to discuss with him, they would trot all the way with the wind, just like a precision machine. , although it was accompanied by some rusty sounds, it was running smoothly.

The proprietress came up to take a look at sometime, but she didn't come to bother Li Menglong at all. The joke was just a joke. Instead, after going down, someone brought a lot of coffee. As for lunch, it was arranged in advance, so there was no need for the upstairs What Li Menglong said, after all, looking at the meaning, if no one reminds them, these people might not remember to eat lunch.

Li Menglong himself is not sure how many decisions he has made this day. It seems that one moment he was guarding against the proprietress, and the next moment everyone is eating the fried chicken brought by the proprietress. It seems that this is not the first meal to eat this ah.

Looking at the time, it turned out that it was already dinner, so it goes without saying that most of the lunch is this thing. Fortunately, the boss's wife directly negotiated with Li Enxi for the meal expenses of the entire department, so Li Menglong didn't have to worry about paying.

Recalling today's work efficiency a little bit, Li Menglong is still very satisfied. Looking at the people around him, they seem to be very sluggish. At this moment, Li Menglong remembered that these people should still be in a hangover state yesterday, no wonder they are so physically strong Difference.

"I've worked hard today, go back and rest early, don't always say that I exploit you!" Li Menglong said that he thought he was quite kind, but it seemed that everyone didn't appreciate it very much.

"Please boss, it's past seven o'clock now, you don't think our company's normal time is seven o'clock, do you? We need to thank you for that?"

"Didn't you get overtime pay for overtime work? You also earned a free dinner. Where can you find such a good thing? Go be content!" Li Menglong was chatting with everyone here, after all, he decided to relax after get off work. , everyone can basically leave after eating fried chicken.

But before that, someone reminded Li Menglong of the to-do list. Li Menglong opened the latest email with a chicken leg in his mouth. It turned out that it was about movie actors. Although it was confirmed that girls are the main actors, it is impossible to make a movie Not just the seven of them.

Let’s not talk about some fringe actors, those kind of actors are basically easy to find directly, if you need older actors with acting skills, you can directly look for old actors. Although it is a bit expensive, the acting skills and professional ethics are good Very secure.

And some simple but showy roles are directly contacted by newcomers from major companies. Not to mention personal feelings, those actors are quite motivated, and they have a lot of time to arrange casually for the crew. The key is that the salary is not high. , cost-effective and high.

But in addition to these, some big supporting roles are needed. This kind of role needs to consider the suitability of the actors, and even some factors outside the film, such as popularity, box office appeal, etc. In short, a movie The casting of the cast is not as simple as it seems.

As for the so-called public casting, Li Menglong can only say that it is a gimmick, and there are almost no such so-called "fair" competition opportunities. Well-known directors are generally willing to use acquaintances, especially actors they are famous for. It is regular cooperation; although new directors do not know many actors, they are often controlled by the capital behind them, and there is not much choice in actors.

Naturally, Li Menglong will not be unconventional, so why would you want to get to know unfamiliar actors?It would be quite troublesome to adjust, so after recalling the role of the character for a while, he dialed the phone directly: "Hello, Nuna?"

"Don't be so nasty when you can call my wife? You can call her sister-in-law, can you?" A thin voice came from the other end of the phone, and a woman's voice could be heard faintly, as if asking about the phone. Who is the side.

Li Menglong is naturally familiar with this person, and he is not polite: "Is this your call? You answer other people's calls as soon as you say? Do you have any basic respect? Be careful, I will find a feminist organization to complain about you!"

"My own wife's phone number!" Kim Jong Kook's mouth was so stubborn, that is, he saw that the caller was Li Menglong, and Kim Jong Kook didn't bother to answer it with someone else: "She's in the bathroom, what's the matter with you? Needless to say, if it is a private matter, please practice her manager directly if it is a business matter!"

Li Menglong's throat was almost blocked by the chicken. Why is this person so underwhelmed when we haven't seen each other for a while?I don't know if his muscles have relaxed, but considering Kim Jong Kook's perverted self-discipline, Li Menglong decided to hold back his breath.

Originally I wanted to ask first on the phone, but Kim Jong Kook insisted that he was not sincere, and in the end he ordered a meal for Li Menglong abruptly. After looking at the time, he was about to leave now. Li Menglong felt that he had to think about the meal in advance. It's about money, after all, Kim Jong Kook is also known as a big eater.

Just as soon as he put down his phone, he noticed that the eyes of everyone around were flickering, and there was a strange atmosphere in the whole office. However, Li Menglong was not too vigilant. After working for a whole day, his brain couldn't react: "Here For Yin Enhui's phone call, ask your family first, and have a meal with the couple later, we should be able to talk about it, right?"

Li Menglong is explaining here and acting himself, saying that he is already considering the rejection of the other party, let’s not talk about other things, the meal must be paid for by Kim Jong-kook, who made him the big brother, not in Li Menglong In the case of the director, the other party should pay.

It's just that Li Menglong thought that after explaining it, he found that it had no effect on the surroundings. As long as you are not blind, you can see it.

The corners of Li Menglong's mouth twitched uncontrollably a few times. The phone was in his pocket all day. Even though his thighs felt a little uncomfortable, Li Menglong still endured it. Come out, it is the most dangerous time to relax.

It's useless to complain about yourself, after all, you can't pretend that it didn't happen, so now you need an excuse. Fortunately, Li Menglong has thought of more than one in the morning, and it's not troublesome to throw it out now: "Ahem, those gangs The girl insisted on changing mobile phones with me early in the morning, talking about what is a trend, it is very annoying!"

Li Menglong has said so, everyone will naturally believe it, at least in terms of actions, as for the expression, it is really uncontrollable, not everyone has such good acting skills as girls, so they can only bear it. He sent Li Menglong off to get off work respectfully with a smile, and before he reached the first floor, the entire second floor exploded. The laughter sounded harsh to Li Menglong, but there was nothing he could do...
