I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

"Mr. Ren, I'm sorry, I chatted with Director Han for a while and kept you waiting."

In a hotel box, as soon as Wan Qingshan came in, he said apologetically to Ren Zhonglun, who had already ordered food and was waiting for him.

"Director Wan, look at what you said, it's only been a few minutes and these dishes have just been served.

Director Wan, sit down, sit down, let’s talk while we eat. "

Wan Qingshan smiled, sat down, and started chatting with Ren Zhonglun while eating.

After talking about it, Ren Zhonglun talked about Wang Zhongjun.

"When it comes to Huayi's Wang Zhongjun, I admire him for two things. One is that he does things very quickly in order to make money.

Another point is that he is willing to lose face.

When "Heroes" was a hit and other companies were still hesitant, he looked for investors and people to make "Heroes of Heaven and Earth".

A few months after "Hero" was released, "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" was released. Almost while "Hero" was still in theaters, filming of "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" had already started.

And the name of this movie, haha, "Hero", "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", how many people were deceived by this movie title back then, thinking that "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" is related to "Heroes". "

Ren Zhonglun put down his chopsticks, took a sip of tea and continued, saying,
"After all these years, Wang Zhongjun's style of doing things has not changed. Two days after "Operation Sword" was released, he had people prepare for a military film.

I heard that the script has been written and sent for review. It is called "Operation Spring Thunder".

Haha, "Operation Sword", "Operation Spring Thunder", these movie titles, Wang Zhongjun still did what he did back then.

But this time the director is different. Back then, Zhang Yi was the same as Wang Zhongjun. This time, in order to make people think that "Operation Spring Thunder" is the sequel of "Operation Sword", Wang Zhongjun made a director during the road show of "Operation Sword". I called Lin Chaoxian and asked him to be the director of "Operation Spring Thunder".

Haha, if I hadn't stopped him, Wang Zhongjun would have done it. "

Ren Zhonglun's current demeanor, coupled with the tone of his words, is completely sarcastic that Wang Zhongjun only follows behind to eat hot dogs, and is not moral at all.

"Mr. Ren, you are making money. This kind of thing is normal. There is no need to be angry."

Wan Qingshan didn't care. Wang Zhongjun's operation in "Heroes" and "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" was pretty good, at least it wasn't blatant plagiarism.

If in "Operation Spring Thunder", Wang Zhongjun imitated Huang Baiming's "The True Meaning of Love" and plagiarized "Operation Sword", he could be ridiculed in front of Wang Zhongjun.

However, there is really no way to say that following the trend and using movie titles to mislead the audience is a common practice in the industry. Wang Zhongjun just did it faster.

Wan Qingshan criticized Wang Zhongjun without answering, which made Ren Zhonglun feel uninterested, so he got down to business.

"Director Wan, let's talk about the new movie.

For new movies, we may need to trouble with the script. Now Wang Zhongjun and others are already preparing a military film. We can't delay it for too long, so we can only trouble you to write the script. "

"Script, Mr. Ren, I'm sorry, I don't have time to write the script next time.

Otherwise, I will ask the screenwriters of my company to write the script. When the time comes, Mr. Ren, you can use it if you think it is suitable. "

Seeing that Ren Zhonglun looked a little embarrassed and couldn't say what he wanted to say, Wan Qingshan didn't even think about it, and continued to talk with a relaxed expression,
"Mr. Ren, in fact, military movie scripts can be used with plots from movies of the same type, with slight modifications.

Take "Operation Sword" as an example, replacing chemists with ordinary people.

The reason for being kidnapped can be written that the leader of the terrorists was captured by the local government, so they planned to kidnap the people as hostages and force them to be released.

Unfortunately, among the hostages, there were several civilians traveling abroad.

If you want to follow up, you can write that the local government is very hesitant and has not made a decision for a while, but the terrorists are shooting one hostage every day.

Because there are Chinese people here, our country secretly sends a special team to sneak into the past to rescue people.

Once you have the antecedents, it will become even simpler later on. You can make up some stories. The local government has accomplices of the terrorists, or the terrorists hijacked the people in order to delay the government. In short, before the local government has made a decision, the terrorists will take them. The leader was rescued.

Later, when the terrorists were evacuating, they were preparing to shoot the hostages. The special team arrived and rescued the hostages.

Then when escorting the hostages to the embassy, ​​they happened to bump into a group of people who rescued the terrorist leader there, and a fierce battle began.

Or you can write that everyone was killed when they arrived a step too late. The special team was so angry that they chased the terrorists and finally killed them all. "

Ren Zhonglun was a little stunned when Wan Qingshan was halfway through the story. Although he knew that Wan Qingshan was a very capable screenwriter, this,,, casual summary of the script was a bit scary.

After a moment of surprise, Ren Zhonglun suddenly frowned.

"Director Wan, many aspects of this are unrealistic. One thing is that it is impossible for someone in a foreign country to pursue the situation after all the hostages have been killed."

"Haha, Mr. Ren, if movies have to be realistic, then are there any commercial movies?"

Wan Qingshan took a sip of tea and continued, "Mr. Ren, if you are worried about the negative impact of not meeting the actual situation, then you can follow another situation I mentioned. On the way to the embassy, ​​I encountered another group of robbers.

Even if Mr. Ren thinks this is too much of a coincidence, it wouldn't be a good idea.

Then I'll ask my company's screenwriter to come up with another plot, or, Mr. Ren, you can also find a screenwriter to write it.

The script requirements for military films are very low, and the plot is simple and clear. There is only one main line and no branch lines.

As long as we pay attention, Chinese people can only play positive roles. "

Ren Zhonglun said quickly, "Director Wan, it's better not to let other screenwriters think about the plot.

In this way, Director Wan, since you don't have time, then I will find a screenwriter and write it according to the plot of going to the embassy and encountering another group of robbers as you just said, Director Wan. "

Although this is a bit too coincidental, Ren Zhonglun is still more willing to trust Wan Qingshan than looking for other screenwriters to come up with other ideas, so he would rather use this too coincidental plot.

Wan Qingshan could see through Ren Zhonglun's thoughts at a glance. He smiled and said,

"Mr. Ren, you really don't have to worry too much about the script of the military film.

I have discussed with you before that commercial military films really don’t need much plot. An overly complicated plot will be a drag on military films.

The selling point of commercial military films is war. If the war scenes are shot well and the main plot is clear, the box office will not be bad.

Mr. Ren, look at "Operation Sword". The plot is very simple, but have the audience ever criticized the plot as being too simple?

Not at all, because the audience never talked about the plot at all. Their talking points were all about the war scenes. "

Wan Qingshan's words made Ren Zhonglun think about it for a while, and then he was completely relieved.

"Operation Sword" was a hit, and most netizens rated it very well. Douban has a high score of 7.8, but there are still some criticisms.

However, neither the positive nor negative reviews mentioned the plot of the movie.

Of the positive reviews, half of them are "pink youth" mindless support, and the other half are praising the wonderful war scenes.

Apart from these two points, there is nothing else, not even praise for the actors or the director.

The negative reviews almost all said it was too bloody, with broken arms and legs included, making people want to vomit.

"Sorry, sorry, Director Wan, I was too nervous and forgot about your views on military movies."

Ren Zhonglun's apology was not a lie, he really forgot.

The results of "Operation Sword" exceeded his expectations.

So he was thinking about the next military movie, which should have a box office of over [-] billion.

If a movie with a box office of over [-] billion is produced, it will have a great change on Shanghai Film's reputation and morale. As a result, he felt very excited and nervous, and for a moment he forgot Wan Qingshan's previous views on military films. .

"I understand, Mr. Ren. You first find a screenwriter to write a script based on the plot I mentioned. After the script is released, we will discuss it together."

As soon as Wan Qingshan finished speaking, Ren Zhonglun said anxiously,

"Director Wan, I will definitely start looking for a screenwriter to write the script immediately, but the movie cannot wait for the script to come out before discussing it.

Now Wang Zhongjun, Yu Dong and others are preparing military films. If we don't hurry up, it will be difficult to grab the box office. "

Wan Qingshan was slightly startled and said, "Mr. Ren, you mean to start the preparatory work now, and shoot as soon as the script comes out."

"Yes, I have already contacted the art center. We will first determine the actors and director, and then arrange for the actors to join the army for training, and the director will follow along to prepare for the preliminary stage."

"Mr. Ren, you have already planned this. I don't have any problems. It's you who decides on the actors and directors."

Ren Zhonglun looked stunned for a moment and whispered, "Mr. Wan, a few days ago, Miss Fan recommended to me young actors from her company, saying that next time I make a military film, I can look for artists from the company. They are not afraid of hardship. This is not you. the meaning of?"

Wan Qingshan was stunned for a moment and shook his head quickly, "Mr. Ren, although this Fanfan company is under my company, I also have shares.

But I don’t care about the company. It’s really not my intention to recommend actors.

Of course, if they are suitable, then I also hope that Mr. Ren will consider them. "

Wan Qingshan is still willing to do the simple thing. After all, Fanfan Company makes money, and he also shares in it.

Ren Zhonglun regretted it now. Why did he ask? He shouldn't have asked. If he had known it wasn't Wan Qingshan's intention, he would have treated it like he didn't know and used the character in exchange for resources.

When filming "Operation Sword", most of the actors were unwilling to take the role. It was too hard.

But things are different now. "Operation Sword" was a hit, making actors like Zhang Yi instantly popular.

If you can become popular with a high probability, then you have to endure some hardships, which all actors can accept.

Now if Ren Zhonglun wants to make a military movie, the role will be the meat and potatoes, that is, the resources.

Although Shanghai Film has the same attributes as China Film, Shanghai Film does not have the right to import films, and the projects produced by Shanghai Film in recent years are all average, so Shanghai Film is really short of money now.

With the character resources, we can exchange good film and television resources with other companies, and we can also make some money for Shanghai Film.

Now that Wan Qingshan has taken the initiative to speak, the role must be given, and it cannot be given to just one. Wan Qingshan has already spoken. If he is given only one, wouldn't it be a slap in the face?

This is equivalent to Wan Qingshan taking away several Shanghai Film Investment Projects with just one sentence.

"Absolutely. Don't worry, Director Wan. You have already recommended them. If they are suitable, I will definitely use them." Ren Zhonglun, who was reluctant to give up, said generously.Later, after Wan Qingshan and Ren Zhonglun confirmed that Lin Chaoxian would be the director, there was nothing to talk about the new movie.

Once the script comes out, just invest money and start filming.

After leaving the hotel, Wan Qingshan asked Duan Tong to take him home. A few days later, Ren Zhonglun passed the script over. After Wan Qingshan read it and had no objection, he asked Li Weizong to go to Shanghai to sign a contract with Ren Zhonglun and invest money!

Then, a few days later, he and Chen Yumo went out, and Maimai Company's App was finally about to be launched.

In fact, the app has been ready for a long time. The company has been established for almost half a year. If the app is not ready yet, it can only be said that Chen Lei's technology is not good and Zeng Maojun's management is poor.

The reason why the App has been delayed until now is because the supply of goods, goods points, branch personnel, and people who live interactively introduce the product have been working on it for a long time.

And being able to launch the MaiMai App by the end of the year is what Wanqingshan strongly requires.

Up to now, Maimai Company has only established branches in first- and second-tier cities, with only a dozen branches in total.

According to Zeng Maojun’s idea, the App will be launched only after covering all first- and second-tier cities.

After Wan Qingshan learned about it later, he strongly blocked Zeng Maojun's idea and asked Zeng Maojun to launch the App before the end of the year.

Covering all first- and second-tier cities, the 15 billion will definitely not be enough.

Wan Qingshan doesn't want to invest any more money. He would rather start it in a few big cities first, and then quickly expand while stabilizing the original market. When he runs out of money later, he will raise funds.

In this way, if there is a stable market in the front, the valuation given by venture capital will be high, instead of having no market effect and just raising funds, how much can be raised.

The headquarters of Maimai Company is in Beijing. Well, coincidentally, it is opposite the headquarters of JD.com. Of course, the size of JD.com headquarters is completely incomparable with that of Maimai Company. It is like a giant and a baby.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Wan Qingshan and Chen Yumo came to Maimai Company.

"Mr. Wan, Mr. Chen, Mr. Wang and Mr. Zeng are all in the office." The receptionist immediately stepped forward and said.

"Please take us there."

When Wan Qingshan and Chen Yumo entered the company's office area, all the employees were staring at the computers and did not have the intention to get up and address Wan Qingshan and Chen Yumo.

The App will be launched soon. This launch is equivalent to a war. On the eve of a war, there is so much to control.

Wang Changtian came early. He was in Zeng Maojun's office, drinking tea, but his eyes were always looking at his watch.

The ceiling of Enlight Media is just like that, but the ceiling of Maimai Company is different. If it starts, Wang Changtian will also be a top rich man, so he is very nervous.

After Wan Qingshan and Chen Yumo came in, Wang Changtian breathed a sigh of relief and felt less nervous.

Although Zeng Maojun is in charge of the company, in Wang Changtian's case, the backbone of Maimai Company is Wanqingshan.

"Mr. Wan, Mr. Chen." Chen Lei stood up and called.

"Mr. Chen."

Wan Qingshan responded, and Chen Yumo smiled at Chen Lei as a response.

After Wan Qingshan finished, he looked around and joked, "Mr. Zeng, you are a little too nervous in this state."

If there are points for being nervous, then Wang Changtian is 50 points nervous, and then Zeng Maojun is 80 points. His palms were clenched all the time, and he buttoned all the wrong buttons on his suit without paying attention.

"Fortunately, I'm a little nervous."

Zeng Maojun's nervous words were all reversed. Wan Qingshan frowned when he saw this.

Zeng Maojun was too nervous, and Wang Changtian and Chen Lei were also a little nervous, which made Wan Qingshan lose interest in chatting.

After taking a sip of tea, he stood up and said, "You three, how about we go outside.

When I first came in, everyone in the company was preparing for war.

They are all ready. We can't sit here and wait. We should go outside. If there is any emergency after going online, we can handle it faster. "

"Yes, Director Wan is right, go outside." Wang Changtian immediately answered.

Everyone walked out of the office, then Wan Qingshan glanced around the office area and whispered to Chen Yumo, "Go to the front desk, give her some money, and ask her to order food for people in the company. The app has just been launched, and it will be noon by then." I must be too busy to have time to eat.”

Chen Yumo nodded slightly and walked outside.

Then, Wan Qingshan shouted, "Everyone, everyone, don't be nervous. It's just an App. I think I must have planned it before. Now that it's all planned, what's the point of being nervous? Everyone, relax and don't be too nervous." It’s tight.”

After Wan Qingshan took a quick look around, he found that everyone was too nervous, which was not a good thing.

After everyone and the people around them looked at each other, their straight waists relaxed a little.

They were all part-time workers, so there was no need to be too nervous. But there was no way, Zeng Maojun and Chen Lei were too nervous, and then this nervousness was transmitted to them through various demands.

This made everyone in the company nervous. Now that Wan Qingshan stepped in, he loosened the tight thread a little.

"You are right this time. We are not engaged in military management. Everyone comes to work firstly to make money and secondly for future development prospects. If this company is not good, then find another one. There is no need to make yourself so tired."

Wan Qingshan's words made many people laugh sheepishly, because they really thought so, and if it didn't work, they would just find another company.

"That handsome guy with glasses and a sweater underneath his suit. I see you smile the most. Why, I spoke to your heart."

The man in the middle of the office area was stunned for a moment, then stood up with a blush.

"You don't have to stand up. We're not in class here. We're just chatting. You can sit down and talk, but you have to be louder. There are no microphones here."

After the man sat down, he mustered up the courage to reply loudly, "Mr. Wan, you have spoken to my heart."

"It comes to my heart. That's normal. Although I have never worked for anyone, I am not very old. I am only a few years older than most of the people here, so I understand you.

Work is just for making money and a future. If you have no other ideas, don’t follow the same old tricks as before and talk about how much you have to dedicate.

You have to contribute. Why don’t you see your boss giving more? Your boss is so rich, but instead of donating, he wants us to contribute from our part-time jobs, right? "

Smiles suddenly appeared on most people's faces, and some even laughed a little.

“Don’t laugh yet, it’s normal to want to make more money.

But I also hope that you can understand that money is linked to people's abilities. The salary you receive now can basically reflect your abilities.

Don't say anything, your salary does not reflect your ability. If you have the same technical level abroad, you will get a higher salary. It is the boss who squeezes your wages.

In this case, unless you have the conditions to earn wages abroad, there is nothing you can do.

There are many people in our country. If you don’t work, a lot of people with the same skills will accept such wages. If you are the boss, you will know how to choose, right? "

"Yes!" the man in the sweater shouted back.

Wan Qingshan smiled and said, "If you answer so readily, I won't give you a salary increase."

"Ha ha!"

,,,

Many people laughed immediately. After the laughter stopped, Wan Qingshan continued,

“If you can’t change the general environment, you can only change yourself.

If you want to get a high salary and have the confidence to ask your boss for a raise, if you don't give me a raise, I will change jobs. If I can immediately find the confidence to find a job with a higher salary than here, then I have to use my abilities. Lift up.

Your abilities are yours and no one can take them away. You can use them no matter where you go.

Where does ability come from, in school, at work, in getting along with others, etc. Ability has many aspects, so you can learn different abilities from various aspects. "

After finishing speaking, Wan Qingshan glanced around and saw that most of them were thinking, while a few older people didn't care at all.

After Wan Qingshan's thoughts whirled for a second, he smiled and said, "I also hope that everyone can improve their abilities.

In this way, as long as Maimai Company does not go bankrupt, the company will be responsible for half of the tuition for everyone here as long as they enroll in any school for further study. "

"Huh, Mr. Wan, thank you!"

"Mr. Wan, you are not a capitalist!"

,,,,
Random cheers rang out. After waiting for a few seconds, seeing that the random sounds were still there, Wan Qingshan reached out and pressed down, signaling everyone to stop talking.

After the cheers stopped, Wan Qingshan smiled and said, "I just heard someone say that I am not a capitalist, so let me tell you, you are wrong.

I pay half of your tuition in the hope that you can create higher value for the company.

So of course there are conditions for paying half of the tuition. If you apply for this tuition, you have to sign a contract with the company and work in the company for at least three years.

Of course, if the company suddenly goes bankrupt, the contract will definitely be invalid.

You cannot resign within three years, but there will definitely be room for advancement. Maimai Company has just been established and will expand in the future, so there will definitely be a shortage of management personnel.

I hope that when the time comes, it will be you who will take up these management positions, because you have accompanied Maimai Company from scratch, and you are qualified to share the company's achievements. "

After saying that, with everyone watching with excitement, Wan Qingshan turned to Zeng Maojun and said,
"Mr. Zeng, is there no problem with my proposal?"

Zeng Maojun, who was a little distracted, immediately came back to his senses and said, "Of course there is no problem, this is a good thing for the company."

"Okay, Mr. Zeng, I suggest that this half-tuition payment plan should not only include people at the headquarters, branches, or even front-line employees.

They are all people who have grown up with Maimai Company and are qualified to share the company's achievements. Therefore, regardless of their education level or job type, as long as they are willing to learn and have the ability, we will give them room for advancement. "

"Of course, Mr. Wan, your opinion is very good. In two days, I will do what you say."

Everyone immediately cheered and jumped again, and they were full of energy.

Then, after chatting with people from the company for a while in Wanqing Mountain, at ten o'clock, the MaiMai App was officially launched. (End of chapter)
