Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2729 Reform of rest time

As soon as the elevator door opened, Lin Daoqiu saw Maekawa Kiyonori, Nomura Takeshi, and Yakushi Maru Hiroko standing outside waiting for him. He was already numb to such things, so he didn't bother to say anything.

"Mr. Lin, why are you here?"

Qian Chuanqing bowed and asked with a smile on his face.

""Onmyoji" is about to be released in a week. I just happened to pass by and came up to take a look. I didn't expect you two to be there."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he also noticed a faint tiredness on the faces of Nomura Takeshi and Yakushi Maruhiroko. You must know that it is only morning. It stands to reason that they would not be tired so early. They didn't have a good rest, or they didn't have a good rest all the time.

"With Mr. Lin's attention, I believe that "Onmyoji" will definitely come out with a red plate."

Qian Chuanqing is already in a good mood. You must know that no matter how harsh the industry insiders in Neon China is, the box office forecast for "Onmyoji" is always at 100 billion. This is still the most stringent standard. From Qian Chuanqing's point of view If the final box office is only 100 billion, it can only be called a failure, and it is a failure among failures.

Although Kiyoshi Maekawa knows that it is impossible for "Onmyoji" to break the records set by "1992" and "Godzilla", but at least it will not be too far behind.

"The two of them have to rest well before the movie is released on the red plate. I haven't seen anyone so tired. I'm afraid that they will go to the hospital to recuperate before the movie is released. Since you are all here Today's trips are all cancelled, and it is said that I am sick and need to recuperate."

With a big wave of his hand, Lin Daoqiu directly gave Takeshi Nomura and Hiroko Yakushi Maru a day's rest. This was the most beautiful thing they had heard during this time.

But even so, the two of them didn't dare to take it seriously, but turned their heads to Maekawa Kiyonori next to him.

"Mr. Lin, they have several announcements today, and the media reporters are full of interviews. If you release pigeons at this time, you will be in big trouble."

It's not that Maekawa Kiyoshi doesn't want to follow Lin Daoqiu's intentions, but the problem is that the itinerary of Takeshi Nomura and Yakushi Maru Hiroko was not scheduled yesterday, but has been scheduled long before. If you release all their pigeons today, then In the future, when you ask for help from others, they will definitely give you a face and even deal with business affairs, which will be troublesome.

Don't look at them who make movies like they are awesome, but if they don't give you publicity, no matter how good your filming is, few people will know. This kind of cooperation model didn't happen overnight, but accumulated over the years.

"Mr. Lin, we can still hold on, don't worry."

Takeshi Nomura didn't know much about the entertainment industry, but Yakushi Maru Hiroko stood up and explained to Kiyoshi Maekawa. After all, she has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and she must know more about the ecology of the entertainment industry than others. Knowing that this is not a question of Qian Chuanqing whether to let go, but that he can't let go.

"Then let them get off work earlier, it can always be done, right?"

Lin Daoqiu also knew that this was a bit embarrassing for Kiyoshi Maekawa. After all, he just wanted to do things well, but he obviously didn't treat the artists as human beings when making the arrangements. Maekawa Kiyoshi has always had the concept.

"No problem, I will find a way to adjust it so that they can go back to rest at eight o'clock tonight, and make sure they can get enough sleep."

Lin Daoqiu has already given in. It is impossible for Qian Chuanqing to push back here. After all, he is also the president of Shochiku. If he does not have this ability, Lin Daoqiu may really doubt whether Qian Chuanqing is a person who can cooperate for a long time. partner.

Because of the publicity, Takeji Nomura and Hiroko Yakushimaru didn't stay long, and were taken directly to accept the first interview today.

After they left, Lin Daoqiu thought about it, and decided to talk to Qian Chuanqing about the use of artists.

"I know that once the neon artists become popular, the biggest problem every day is not enough sleep time, especially during the promotion period, it is even more troublesome. Although the promotion is their job, they are also human beings. If they continue to do this for a long time, they will be tired sooner or later. Sick."

"Mr. Lin is right, but the industry has always maintained this model and everyone is used to it. After all, there are only a few people who can become popular, and most people rarely enjoy this kind of treatment all the time."

Qian Chuanqing knew that Lin Daoqiu wanted to make changes or reforms in this regard, which surprised him.

You must know that although Qian Chuanqing now almost depends on Lin Daoqiu to enjoy the food, but the neon showbiz has rules in the showbiz. If he is treated as an outlier, it will be difficult for him to survive in the industry.

"I don't care about people from other places, but can Shochiku and Toei make changes first, among other things, give artists at least seven hours of sleep a day, isn't that too much?"

"Mr. Lin, you don't know that some of these artists will not take a rest immediately after returning from work. They are willing to drink some wine and relieve the pressure before going home. We are willing to give them seven hours of sleep, but really I’m afraid they’ll set aside part of it to eat, drink and have fun after giving it to them.”

Qian Chuanqing felt that Lin Daoqiu's thinking was too simple. Artists are human beings, not animals, and they also have their own ideas. If they don't keep the time tighter, once they have a few extra hours of free time, these people will never take it. Instead of resting, he would go drinking and having fun.

In this case, it's better to tighten the time, at least not to give them time to waste.

"Since this is the case, shouldn't we give them more time to rest? I believe that as long as you are willing to arrange it, it can be done. It depends on whether you are willing or not."

Lin Daoqiu is not a fool, he knows very well that Qian Chuanqing can squeeze out seven hours for artists to rest as long as he relaxes his schedule for a while, it just depends on whether they are willing to do it or not.

Scratching his head, Maekawa Kiyoshi had a troubled expression on his face. He didn't dare to disobey Lin Daoqiu's intentions, but doing so was a bit unconventional in the neon show business circle. If Toei was really willing to make such a reform together with him However, Qian Chuanqing is willing to try under pressure.

"If you can convince President Okada, I am willing to give it a try."

Maekawa Kiyoshi didn't say anything to death, but the premise was that Lin Daoqiu had to convince Shigeru Okada, otherwise he wouldn't take the initiative to do it.
