I haven't been a boss for many years

Chapter 161 Meeting
early February.

DreamWorks, conference room.

Li Dawei, Wang Jing, Liu Weiqiang, Wu Yusen, and Zhang Guobin sat in the office for the first strategic meeting of the new year.

Zhang Guobin, in a suit and leather shoes, sat at the main seat with a cup of coffee in hand, Wu Yusen sat on the right, Li Dawei sat on the left, Wang Jing and Liu Weiqiang sat next to Li Dawei and Wu Yusen respectively.

"We have a small meeting today about the first season, DreamWorks' shooting plan." Zhang Guobin took a sip of coffee, put a few scripts by his hand, and said.

Li Dawei, Wang Jing and others all had serious expressions.

Different from the annual plan of most companies at this stage, Boss Zhang brought the management experience of later generations to the 80s, and split the one-year work plan into four plans, one quarter and one quarter for arrangement.

Wu Yusen leaned lightly on the sofa, with a more relaxed expression. Unlike Li Dawei and Wang Jing, he and DreamWorks were just a cooperative relationship, and did not involve superior and subordinate management. If Zhang Guobin hadn't said that he would invite him to arrange a film in the new year, he wouldn't even need to attend DreamWorks. Factory meeting.

Of course, director Wu Da respects Zhang Sheng very much, and Zhang Sheng is always on call.

Fatty Wang picked up the water glass, took a sip of tea, and looked at Zhang Sheng's expression. Zhang Guobin threw the two scripts to Li Dawei, and said in a straightforward tone: "Ah Wei, yours."

"Okay, Zhang Sheng." Li Dawei, wearing a white shirt and trimming his hair, took the script and took it away to look at the title, and said with a wry smile, "It's "Happy Ghost" again, "The Banner of the Province and Hong Kong", eh..." Five Billion Inspector Lei Luo Biography"?"

"Zhang Sheng, there is a new movie!" Li Dawei's eyes showed surprise.

Zhang Guobin tapped on the table and said earnestly: "Why don't you make money if you have money?"

"As long as "Happy Ghost" and "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" are not outdated, they can still sell well. DreamWorks shoots them every year until they are old."

Wu Yusen sat beside him with a wry smile.

Fortunately, I didn't bring "The True Colors of a Hero",
Zhang Sheng still has a conscience.

However, he recalled that when "Film Biweekly" commented on "Project A", he mentioned that Zhang Sheng only made high-quality goods and did not make money-making movies. I don't understand!

"The Legend of [-] Million Inspector Lei Luo" is a well-known corruption-themed work in Xiangjiang. The prototype of the film's story is Lu Le, the first Chinese chief inspector who fled ten years ago.

In this era, filming this script is very courageous!
If you were an ordinary film director, you wouldn't even dare to write it, let alone shoot it.

But Zhang Guobin's background is strong enough, so he shoots as soon as he shoots, and we'll talk after making money!

Just out of politeness, before starting filming, I should fly to Taiwan Island to visit the former Chief Inspector Hua.

Coincidentally, Zhang Guobin decided to go to Taiwan Island at the end of the month, and made a special trip to thank Mr. Chen. If Mr. Chen hadn't opened up the release channel on Taiwan Island, "Project A" would not be able to make a lot of money on Taiwan Island.

"These two copies are yours." Zhang Guobin took out two more scripts, threw them in front of Wang Jing, and said aloud, "Fat boy, watch them carefully!"

"I know it, Zhang Sheng." Wang Jing had a smirk on his lips, and took the script cheaply. Last year, the box office of "Thousands of Thousands Fighting Thousands" he shot at DreamWorks was good, and he rushed to produce a movie. "The King of Thieves" once again earned [-] million box office. In terms of his shooting cost and time alone, the box office revenue ratio is extremely impressive.

Of course, in front of Li Dawei, the mainstay of DreamWorks, his rank is still much lower.

After all, Li Dawei has two gold-making series in his hands, with a cumulative box office of over [-] million. He is already a well-known director in Hong Kong, while Wang Zai has just come out of the world and is younger.

After he got two movie scripts, he opened them and said with a smile, "I knew it! It's another gambling movie!"

"Boss Zhang and I are really heroes and see the same thing. I also want to make gambling movies, hehehe."

Fat Boy Wang has no objection to making gambling films continuously, and is happy to see their success. One of the two scripts is "God of Gamblers" and the other is "Supreme".

The titles are all powerful and domineering.

However, Fat Boy Wang was sipping his tea, mung bean eyes wandering around, but he just didn't read the script.

Gambling...

This old line,
Get it in your hands!

Fat Boy Wang even felt that Zhang Sheng didn't need to write the script, given him one night, he could make three more gambling films!
"Ah Qiang, your copy is yours." Zhang Guobin threw out another script, and Liu Weiqiang, who was sitting under Wu Yusen, changed his expression, stood up excitedly, and asked aloud: "Zhang Sheng, what are you doing?" Can you also film?"

Although, before he received the notice and entered the meeting room for the script meeting, he had some speculations in his heart, and Zhang Guobin told Wu Yusen in advance that he might train Liu Weiqiang to film, but in the face of the sudden opportunity, Liu Weiqiang still felt a little helpless. Believe it, ask aloud.

Zhang Guobin smiled and shook his hands kindly: "Don't get excited, sit down and chat."

Liu Weiqiang took the script and sat down. The script was called "Carmen in Mong Kok".

Holding the coffee cup in both hands, Zhang Guobin said kindly, "Ah Qiang, you have also worked in DreamWorks for more than a year, and you have made several films, and you have grown rapidly."

"Although you are not a professional film director, how can a director be a professional? This industry only depends on talent, regardless of background, as long as you can make good movies, the audience will recognize you as a great director."

This sentence encouraged Liu Weiqiang, a middle school dropout, to twitch his buttocks on the chair.

"The difficulty of shooting this script is not high, but it is very difficult to shoot it well. I have assigned you an assistant director. You will go outside to find him later."

"The two of you work together to make a good movie."

What Zhang Guobin handed out was not just scripts, but opportunities to become famous one after another. For most directors, the most rare thing is not scripts, but money.

The script that Zhang Guobin left behind represents Hong Kong Paper, Hong Kong Paper, or Hong Kong Paper.

This is the most rare value.

Holding the script in both hands, Liu Weiqiang stood up again, bowed and thanked: "Thank you Zhang Sheng, I will definitely work hard to make the movie well and live up to your expectations."

Wu Yusen smiled and nodded inwardly.

Liu Weiqiang can barely be regarded as his half-apprentice, and he recommended him to enter DreamWorks as a newcomer. Seeing that Liu Weiqiang had the opportunity to direct the tube, he couldn't help being happy for Liu Weiqiang.

Zhang Guobin turned his chair and handed the last script to Wu Yusen: "Director Wu, take a look?"

""Blood Heroes"?" Seeing the name of the script, Wu Yusen felt a little itchy in his heart. He immediately opened the script and said aloud, "Let me read it first."

"Okay." Zhang Guobin gave Wu Yusen full respect, and the script he gave Wu Yusen was also one of his masterpieces. It was tailor-made for the current Wu Yusen.

"Zhang Sheng!" At this time Li Dawei shouted from the side: "This play is a classic, it involves real people, will something happen?"

After experiencing the baptism of "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" and "Pretty Girls", he is already sure to make "[-] Million Detectives". Zhang Guobin smiled: "I will take care of what happens."

"With Zhang Sheng's words, I feel relieved." Li Dawei heaved a sigh of relief.

"In addition, the goal of the first quarter is not to finish shooting all the scripts in hand. The style of DreamWorks has always been to pay equal attention to quantity and quality. Under the condition of ensuring quality, the number of films that can be filmed is counted as a few." Zhang Guobin looked at Sweeping around the conference table, he was not worried about Fatty Wang's shooting speed, but he was afraid that Li Dawei would catch up with the schedule and shoot three movies in three months. This sentence was tantamount to speaking to Li Dawei. In addition, Wu Yusen and Liu Weiqiang only had one movie. There is no need to worry about not being able to make a movie.

"About casting, the company's list is attached to the back of the script. The characters marked with an asterisk must be used. Others can be reported for replacement. You decide the missing characters."

"If there are people who cannot be invited, come and tell me, and I will send someone to invite them."

"Don't worry, Zhang Sheng."

"Understood, boss."

Li Dawei, Wang Jing, and Liu Weiqiang nodded in agreement.

Zhang Guobin turned his head to look at Wu Yusen, Wu Yusen closed the script with a snap, raised his head and said, "Zhang Sheng, I will accept this play."

"I have to go back and read the script again. I think the play is well written."

"OK, the meeting is adjourned." Zhang Guobin put down his legs, stood up with a water glass in his hand, and walked out of the meeting room with a group of people after speaking aloud.

He left the meeting room and went straight back to the office. As soon as Li Dawei and Wang Jing entered the office area, they were surrounded by artists who had been guarding the door early, asking about the role arrangement.

In the food chain of the film industry, the capital stands at the top, followed by directors, executives, and stars, entertainers...

Artists are not even eligible to participate in DreamWorks' strategic meetings, but the boss will always consider artists.

"Brother Qiang, I'm Ah Wei. I used to be a freelance writer. I wrote scripts and submitted them to film companies." Wang Jiawei, wearing toad sunglasses, stood in the office area, his movements somewhat restrained. Self introduction.

Liu Weiqiang immediately realized his identity and reached out to shake hands: "Just call me Aqiang."

He looked at Wang Jiawei, and always felt that the other party was older than him, and Wang Jiawei was discovered by DreamWorks when he was submitting an article, and reported to the boss's office. director.Historically, the classic "Carmen in Mong Kok" was also a joint work between Liu Weiqiang and Wang Jiawei. Liu Weiqiang was in charge of the screen shots, and Wang Jiawei was in charge of the script and director.

Both of them are famous directors of Xiangjiang Future, and they are very talented as directors. However, now that Liu Weiqiang has long been experienced and is appreciated by the boss, the two of them have lost each other.

Interesting thing, Wang Jiawei's first film directed by him is also Andy Lau's first film. This time Mong Kok Carmen will ask Andy Lau to contribute a wave of youthful acting skills.

"Are you interested in having lunch together?" Liu Weiqiang chatted with Wang Jiawei, gestured, and looked towards the door. Wang Jiawei readily agreed, "Okay."

"By the way, why do you have to wear sunglasses in spring?" Ah Qiang and Ah Wei took two steps, suddenly turned to look at Ah Wei and asked, Ah Wei pushed the glasses frame without changing his expression, and said calmly: "Because Very cool!"

……

"Wow!"

"It's also a gambling movie, but Zhang Sheng wrote it so wonderfully?"

night.

Fat Boy was at home, wearing slippers, mouth full of foam, script in one hand, toothbrush in the other, exclaimed.
