"bye!"

"bye..."

"Bye~"

"see you..."

"Hey--"

"See you later..."

Hongtu Road, Good Friends Film Company, many young people put down their company badges, carried cartons of sundries, walked out of the company building listlessly, looked back at their company's LOGO name on the sign indicating the floor in the lobby, and smiled bitterly.

Down the street!
The direct reason for the hit the market is nothing more than mediocre performance of the films released, the cost is hard to cover, and it cannot be maintained, so the staff have to be laid off!In fact, the main reason is the downfall of the behind-the-scenes financial backers without financial support.

Good Friends Films was originally a 10-film development project, which was even bigger than [-] Locomotive.Relying on the face of Zeng Zhiwei, Teddy Robin, and Tan Yonglin, they signed the drama contracts of Cheng Long, Zhou Runfa, and Liang Chaowei in a high-profile manner...

Wu Xiaozu was filming one film and watching another at the beginning. He had no plan at all. It was only late last year that he had a year-round filming plan.

It's a pity... Huang Yulang, the overlord of gold, is entangled in lawsuits, which leads to a broken chain of funds, difficult steps, and ill-fated fate!

Therefore, it is also difficult for a new film company, even if it is run by a veteran like Zeng Zhiwei!It can be seen how difficult it is for the [-] locomotive!
It doesn't matter if you die after getting addicted, it is difficult to manage well!

Originally, Good Friend Film Company was struggling, but it could still rely on selling funds to maintain itself. Unfortunately... Zeng Zhiwei used these funds to invest in Yulang International~ just in time for Yulang International’s stock market to suffer a disastrous defeat. Yu Cheng joined hands with many funds and stock traders to sell short It is preparing for the acquisition.

All of a sudden, retail investors like Zeng Zhiwei were miserable!

In this case, stop the loss as soon as possible, but it is a pity that there is no one in ten... The company has no chance of surviving!

cool~
In the empty office area, Zeng Zhiwei sat on the back of the chair with a smile on his face, swinging his legs——

"boss?"

"Uh?"

"I want this chair."

"Oh oh oh~ Here you are—"

Zeng Zhiwei jumped down, stretched out his arms to signal the other party to move, with a smile on his face, "Sorry!"

The employee turned his head and looked at him deeply.

What should I say?

Sighing, he turned and left.

Zeng Zhiwei gently bites the flesh in his cheek with his teeth, his tongue is rolled up from time to time against the gap between his teeth, his eyes are wandering, his hands are behind his back, he is patrolling the "good friend" film company, his mouth is flat——

The three shorties with the most fame, status and qualifications in the Hong Kong Island film industry, apart from the future chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards, Wen Jun, the most famous he and Teddy Robin got together because of their friendship and formed a company.

In the end, it was also bad on loyalty.

People are so paradoxical, they always make jokes with us that we can't afford, and then make us a complete joke for others to make fun of after dinner.

dong dong.

The glass door knocked.

"Zeng sir—"

Zeng Zhiwei, who had a flat mouth and drooping eyelids, turned his head and saw Chen Kexin, who was half-length in the middle, thin, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, wearing a plaid shirt, and the gentle Chen Kexin, who walked into the room.

"How dare you... Oh, I forgot, the property is owed, and the access control has been stopped." Zeng Zhiwei shrugged and smiled, "Congratulations, you have become famous! The limelight has overshadowed the previous Wang Jiawei! It is also the first movie. The play is like a phoenix dancing for nine days~"

"Drink water?" Chen Kexin unscrewed the mineral water and handed it to him, his eyes were calm.

"Isn't it - just use white water to perfuse me? No shark fin and abalone~ There must be a glass of beer, right? I am like this, how suitable for drinking beer... Really, I get drunk when I drink it!"

Zeng Zhiwei smiled exaggeratedly, but still took the water from the other party, and poured it with his head up, probably because he drank too quickly, coughing out the water all over, but he still squeezed the bottle and poured it out of shape.

"Cough cough cough...the water is very good, but the alcohol content is too low~ You can't really refuse to buy me a bottle of wine, right? That's right..."The Devil Wears Prada" was not well done by Wu Xiaozu on the bright side Money box office, it’s normal not to send red envelopes to you... Ha—”

"Good friend film company invited Dongying actress to cooperate with President Tan for the first work. Sir, you were named as the director, but to be on the safe side, Wang Jing and Tan Jiaming were invited to work together. Wang and Tan collaborated to film the whole film. 70% of this drama, this drama is "Catch a Iraqi with Love", the box office is good!

Then, "A Chinese Ghost Story" became a big hit, and with the financial support of Wanwan, "Snow Girl" (Golden Swallow) was filmed, with Huang Yaoming playing the scholar and Hong Gu playing the apprentice of the old demon of Montenegro.You and Wu Yaohan play the twin Taoist priests together...

And then—"Pointing the Thief", "Call Girl 1988", "Orange Is the New Black" and my favorite "I Love Astronauts", which reflects immigrants.

Good Friends Film Company has a wide range of themes~ that's why I'm here to do things. "

Chen Kexin took the deformed plastic water bottle pinched by the other party, "I am also very sorry that the company has come to this point, I thought I would brew a fragrance here..."

"Isn't One Zero Two Four fragrant?"

"good smell!"

"Its fragrance is like fine wine, which makes people aftertaste! Compared with it, Good Friends Film Company is like a glass of boiled water!"

Chen Kexin answered honestly, and under the puzzled eyes of the other party, he continued: "Although it does not have the mellow aroma of wine, it has ten thousand possibilities. The most important thing - its taste is up to us to decide.

The [-] locomotive is very good, but it has Wu Xiaozu's imprint on its bones.No matter who it is, it is difficult to break.Even if some people make different achievements, some people will say... You are only able to kill the eye-catching bug because you drank the wine from Jingyanggang!
No one will understand, because it is Wu Song, so it is possible.Because everyone has already decided in their hearts that it is all due to the wine!The results are all due to the wine... Even if you really have credit, it is based on the good wine..."

Zeng Zhiwei fell into deep thought.

"What do you want?"

The gentle Chen Kexin smiled like a programmer.

"I'm only 27 years old this year. When I was 18, I went from Bangkok to Los Angeles to study hotel management. In the second year, I secretly changed my major and studied film. When I was 21, I passed 15 minutes at night. After careful consideration, I chose to return to work after graduating from university, and began to prepare for my future film career!
Relying on his previous experience as a summer job at Golden Harvest and his knowledge of Thai, in 1983, he happened to help with the Thai translation of "Heroes Without Tears" directed by Wu Yusen.Director Wu and I hit it off right away, and the harmonious relationship promoted my cooperation. With the convenience, I was able to participate in screenwriting and coordinating.

It was the best foundation for me to enter the film industry!

Then ~ Dalu Film Company was filming, and I was recommended to Cai Lan Cai Sir to help out as an assistant director and assistant producer... and then a good friend came to be the manager.I was recommended by Sir Zeng, appreciated by Sir Wu, and directed my debut film. "

Chen Kexin is as slow as his character, telling Zeng Zhiwei everything that happened in the past 6 years since he entered the industry.After listening carefully, you will find that he is an absolute genius!

The experience is more exciting than many novels, and it can be called a legend. At the age of 27, he acted as a director and shot such wonderful movies as "The Devil Wears Prada".

Although this movie is just like a "proposition composition", different people can write different wonderful things.Just as someone writes "peeping a man in a cup", someone can only write "my district chief father" (ω)...

Chen Kexin~ Well done!
The delicateness of the film makes people forget the blunt commercials, and feel the emotions of the actresses in it.

On this point, he handled it much better than the original work in his previous life!
At least the intern played by Wang Zuzhen is not so "bitch". He didn't wake up after countless spare tires... he became a real "girl's fairy tale".

This kind of fairy tale can only appear in movies, but it hits the heartstrings of many people.

Such a rich society and such a dream are even more rare!So it can be welcomed.

Free stuff doesn’t necessarily lead to movie-watching frenzy, after all, if a pile of shit is put there, everyone won’t rush to eat it... just because "The Devil Wears Prada" is a rare "chick movie" , so this effect can be achieved.

Good movie for free ~ that's the essence.

Chen Kexin soared into the sky when she was just a fledgling, very much like Wang Jiawei back then, or... Wu Xiaozu?

Even better than Wu Xiaozu.

The latter's debut work "The Butcher on a Rainy Night" now seems to be unavoidably crude and embarrassing.

In contrast, Chen Kexin has a style that is rare in the Hong Kong film market with both humanistic delicacy and commercial market.

This is commendable!
"It's hard to imagine that you are only 27 years old this year! Just like it's hard to imagine that Sir Wu is the same age as you." Zeng Zhiwei sighed.

"Post-60s, there are always some weird ideas." Chen Kexin made a joke like a programmer.

"Again--"

Zeng Zhiwei looked around, but found no chair, so he had to stand on tiptoe and hold on to the window sill with both hands. With some effort, he swung up and sat down on the window sill.

Looking down at Chen Kexin in front of him, Mo Xiao asked, "Do you want something?"

The other party unhurriedly reached out and took out a note folded in half from the inner lining.

Slowly fold it open, then unfold it—a check.

"This is 30 Hong Kong dollars. I filmed "The Devil Wears Prada" red envelope."

Chen Kexin said softly: "Sir Wu is very generous, more generous than many bosses I have met. This show has made money, but how much... I am afraid not many people know. But I know... 30 Hong Kong dollars is for me That's a lot to say!"

Zeng Zhiwei swayed his calf, jokingly said: "People buy horse bones with thousands of dollars."

"Yes."

Chen Kexin nodded and admitted, and put the check on the window sill, "But I also have the right to choose my own path."

"You don't want to leave the broad road...you choose to take the rugged path~" Zeng Zhiwei sneered, with a mocking expression on his face.

"In 1986, facing New Art City, the 1024 locomotive was also a rugged trail. Right, sir Zeng?" Chen Kexin asked.

Zeng Zhiwei looked down at the check, stretched out his hand and scratched his face, and asked without answering, "Director Chen, would you like to order?"

"Insist on the style, don't follow the trend, find new themes to create and shoot. Of course, it must be popular, because only by selling can you survive."

"The second 30? Director Chen, your [-] Hong Kong dollars is hard for yourself and me, right?"

"It's not 30, it's 35." Chen Kexin's dark eyes were very serious, "My own private money is also here."

He took out a roll of banknotes tied with gold bulls, put them on top of the check, paused, and said, "I only have so much."

"Brother, I just hit the street, so you trust me?" Zeng Zhiwei raised his eyebrows.

"Many people regard 'Zeng Zhiwei' as a clown who can only be funny and a loser who messed up the company. But I know that you are one of the few filmmakers in the Hong Kong Island film circle who have ideas and persistence. (Do not discuss Others, when it comes to movies alone, he can be regarded as a person with his own ideas.)
During the period of working together in the company, I can feel that our understanding of movies has many similarities, and we are like-minded people!

Therefore, I will firmly pull you together.Adhere to the style, innovate and not follow the trend, I think this may be a difficult road, but it must be an interesting road!
In view of this, I hope Sir Zeng, you and I can unite a group of like-minded filmmakers and newcomers, take a route similar to Western films at a low cost, and open up the current film situation! "

"I'm not as good as you said!" Zeng Zhiwei smiled, swept away the anger on his body just now, picked up the check and rolls, and couldn't help laughing and cursing, "35... lost! How can you take your own blood and sweat like this?" People who come to find companies and play games with money!"

Chen Kexin shrugged and spread her hands.

"Having said so much, is there anyone you can get along with?" Zeng Zhiwei asked.

"I know an artist named Li Zhiyi, who has filmed "Angel in Blood" before." Chen Kexin replied.

"It has really become the second [-]~" Zeng Zhiwei was helpless, and everyone in the circle joked that [-] was originally a film company formed by Wu Xiaozu, a melon boy who led a group of melon eggs.It's more like that now.

"I don't have to worry about attracting investment, it's better than Wu Xiaozu." Chen Kexin laughed.

I am better than Wu Xiaozu~
Zeng Zhiwei didn't know how to answer these six words, and he was silent for a while before laughing out loud.

Jump off the ledge.

"Go, go and study-"

Zeng Zhiwei didn't know whether it was because of the other party's encouragement, or because of the grievance in his heart, in short, he also thought about it at this moment.

The failure of the good friend film company did make him reflect on himself.

It is understandable to follow the trend for a while, but if you just want to circle around and leave, the end result may be the same as many independent production companies, encountering liquidation!

Before that, it wasn't that he didn't think about making the movies he wanted to make.

But you need to know!
There are very few directors who can shoot this kind of film, Zeng Zhiwei thinks he can't do it!

He is good at Duqiao, and he can act as a director or an actor.But he is not a good creator!
Not to mention innovation!
I dare not even think about such a thing!
But Chen Kexin is different, if there is something to do, Chen Kexin might not be able to become a hero!

Such a character is indispensable for a film company that is committed to having its own thoughts in the film industry!

Just as Wang Jiawei broke away from [-] locomotive, such a director with his own style and ideas often has his own thoughts!
Who said he couldn't be the second Jiang Zhiqiang? ?
ah-

At this time, Jiang Zhiqiang, who was watching "Three Funerals and a Wedding" in the editing room, couldn't help but sneezed.
