Rebirth of Hong Kong: The Rise of the Republic

Chapter 167 Film source
"Sorry for the long wait." Wang Yaodong said with a smile after entering.

After all, he asked people to come over, but everyone arrived and he was the last one.

In fact, several people stood up when Wang Yaodong didn't speak.

Because we were not familiar with each other, we just chatted for a few words and focused most of our energy on the door.

When Wang Yaodong said this, no one answered, they just gave a fake smile.

When Wang Yaodong saw this, he waved his hands to them and said, "We are all our own people. There is no need to stand up. Just sit down and talk!"

After saying that, he did not go directly to the sofa, but went to the desk and took out the printed script first.

Then he walked to the sofa, motioned to those who were still standing to sit down again, and handed them the script in his hand.

"The reason I called you here this time is because of this movie, the director Zhenwei, starring Zhou Xingxing, Xiao Min and Ada.

As for Xiao Ru, you may only have a small supporting role.

This movie is the movie I promised to prove myself to Zhou Xingxing and Ada.

In a few months, I'll give you another chance to prove yourself. "

Wang Yaodong finished talking about calling several people over in one breath.

When Liu Zhenwei saw him finish speaking, he was the first to speak: "Sheng Wang, I just finished filming my last movie for two days, and I'm still in post-production. I don't have time to prepare!"

"It's okay. Let's finish the post-production of the previous one first. Just set up the crew and other things for this one. After finishing that, we can start shooting here." Wang Yaodong said with a slight smile.

When Liu Zhenwei heard this, he almost swallowed a mouthful of old blood. This was not even enough time to rest.

The donkeys in the production team don’t dare to build it like this!
Seeing that he didn't speak anymore, Wang Yaodong said to the other people: "Do you have any questions?"

"We have no problem with Wang Sheng." Wu Mengda replied.

Wang Yaodong nodded and looked at Zhang Min and Wu Junru.

Both of them shook their heads when they saw his eyes.

I have only been here a few days, and even if I have any objections to the things arranged by my boss, I have no objections.

Wang Yaodong saw no problem and continued: "That's it, go ahead and do whatever you want to do, and finish your coffee before leaving."

After several people heard the words, the three men greeted each other and left after finishing their drinks.

Liu Zhenwei still has things to do, and Zhou Xingxing and the others are still on the set.

After the three people left, Wang Yaodong originally thought that the remaining two people had nothing to do, but he didn't expect that Wu Junru also finished her coffee, said hello and was about to leave.

"Xiaoru, haven't you just signed in a few days ago, why are you having trouble?" Wang Yaodong stopped her and asked.

When Wu Junru heard him asking her this question, she had to smile awkwardly and said: "I am playing a small role at TVB, and it will take a few days."

Wang Yaodong understood, nodded and let her go.

Now there were only two people left in the office, and Zhang Min became a little nervous when he saw this.

"Am I some kind of scourge?" Wang Yaodong looked at her nervously and asked.

"No, no, no!"

Zhang Min was so nervous that he stuttered when he heard his words.

When Wang Yaodong saw her like this, he immediately wanted to play with her.

"Isn't it? Then why are you so nervous? Come over here and get closer." Wang Yaodong patted the sofa next to him and said.

Zhang Min suddenly looked horrified when he heard him, and was very frightened in his heart: Is he going to do something to him, or why did he ask him to sit so close?
Now there are only two of them in the office, a man and a woman. If he uses force, what will he do?
Give him two slaps?

But I just signed the contract yesterday, and now I'm beating the boss, and my future is dark.

The more I thought about it, the more scared I became!
After some inner struggle, she finally walked slowly to sit next to him.

In the end, I compromised for the sake of my future!
Now it was Wang Yaodong's turn to be a little surprised. He originally thought that Zhang Min would not sit over, but he did not expect that the result would be like this.

He also wanted to tease her, but in this situation he could only make mistakes.

Wang Yaodong put his hand from her back to her shoulder. Feeling Zhang Min's slightly trembling body, he put his head close to her ear and said, "Do you feel your heartbeat is so fast now?"

The hot breath of talking blew onto her ears, and her ears suddenly started to turn red.

Seeing that her trembling became more obvious, Wang Yaodong let go of his hand and stopped teasing her.

"Okay, since you have never acted before, I just let you get used to it in advance."

Wang Yaodong found an excuse for his behavior just now.

Otherwise, it might be too big of a joke to make such an action.

Zhang Min finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his tone didn't sound like he was telling lies.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I will definitely work hard to play this role well." Zhang Min replied.

Wang Yaodong nodded and said: "This movie still has some hugs and more intimate actions like holding hands, so you still need to get used to some things."

Zhang Min felt as if he understood something when he heard this, and murmured in his heart: It turns out that he was trying to help himself get used to the possible mistakes in acting, and he misunderstood him.

"Is there anything else you need to test me with?"

Zhang Min knew that he was paying it back for himself, so he proposed some other experiments.

Wang Yaodong was a little dazed by what she said.

Are young people really that easy to deceive?

Now that this was the case, Wang Yaodong said seriously: "There are often some kissing scenes when making movies. Such scenes are very testing for young people. Have you ever had a boyfriend?"

When Zhang Min heard this, he thought it made sense. He had never kissed before, so he really had no experience.

However, Wang Yaodong asked her if she had a boyfriend, and he immediately replied: "No, I haven't had one since I was a child."

"Well, let's do it now and let you experience it." Wang Yaodong said gradually.

"Ah!" Zhang Min didn't expect it to be so sudden, but when he thought of this kind of thing, he suddenly became suspicious. Was he trying to take advantage?

Seeing her like this, Wang Yaodong seemed to think that he wanted to take advantage.

But he didn't say anything, and said calmly: "Then let's start, I'm here."

After Wang Yaodong finished speaking, without waiting for her to respond, he kissed her on the lips.

Zhang Min was stunned for a moment and looked at the man kissing her with wide eyes. Her first kiss was gone!

Wang Yaodong didn't think too much. He was a little reluctant to kiss his lips. He also wanted to attack inside, but was blocked by his teeth.

Zhang Min quickly pushed him away, his eyes flashing and said: "I can't breathe."

"Ahem." Wang Yaodong coughed twice after hearing her words, and said with a gentle smile: "It's okay, I just let you get used to it in advance, but you are still not proficient enough. If you need it, you can come to me and practice again."

Zhang Min blushed when he heard his words, nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "Well, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

After speaking, he took the script and left Wang Yaodong's office in two steps.

Wang Yaodong watched her leave with a satisfied smile on his face, picked up the coffee and took a sip.

……

Wang Yaodong hadn't been relaxed for long when there was another knock on the door.

After shouting at the door, a person opened the door and walked in.

He was still a little surprised when he saw the visitor. It seemed that the two of them had not seen each other for a long time.

"A'le, come and sit quickly." Wang Yaodong greeted with a smile.

After saying that, he got up and went to the room to get a new cup for him and pour him a cup of coffee.

"Thank you!" Chen Baixiang thanked him as he took the coffee.Wang Yaodong sat down and asked: "How is it doing in theaters? It's okay!"

Chen Baixiang nodded and said, "It's done pretty well, but the speed at which we make the film still can't keep up with the speed at which it can be released."

"Are there still no independent filmmakers showing their films to us?" Wang Yaodong asked doubtfully.

Logically speaking, such a situation should not happen now. Although Jiahe and Princess Jin still want to block their own theaters.

But their theater chain was supported by high-quality films from Yaodong Pictures, so they had nothing to do.

As for those companies that just follow the trend and just want to make a little money.

These people should come to their side to strive for greater interests.

"A lot of them have come, but most of them are crudely made movies that can't make money at all, and may even lose money. They can be finished in a few days." Chen Baixiang said helplessly.

The videos these people show are really not flattering!

Wang Yaodong heard what he said and thought about it. Most independent filmmakers don't have much money at all, which means their upper limit is not too high.

"Has anyone come here with a script to ask for investment?" Wang Yaodong thought for a while and asked.

The issue of film sources must be solved by theater chains, otherwise they will not be able to survive.

"There are quite a few scripts that have been asked for investment, but the writing is so bad. Unless there is something wrong with their brains, no one will invest." Chen Baixiang replied.

Wang Yaodong was helpless now. It was not possible to go back and forth, and he had no good solution.

"The only thing we can do is to take it slowly. It may be more practical to sign a few more directors and make a few more films."

Chen Baixiang nodded and agreed with his point of view.

He came here this time mainly to talk about this matter, so that Wang Yaodong has a good idea.

Otherwise, when the end of the year comes, it will be your own problem to go to the theater chain to make a loss.

"Are you busy in theaters recently?" Wang Yaodong asked.

Chen Baixiang shook his head and said: "It's not very busy. I should say it's quite leisurely."

Wang Yaodong smiled slightly when he heard this and said: "That's just right. There are not enough actors recently. You can help out in a few movies."

Chen Baixiang knew that he was careless when he saw the smile on his face when he heard that he was quite free.

Sure enough, I just wanted to find something to do for myself. I nodded helplessly and agreed.

The two chatted for a while before Chen Baixiang spoke.

……

As he walked by, Wang Yaodong looked at the time.

It was only four o'clock in the afternoon, and it seemed a bit early to go home.

So I picked up the phone and called Li Fuhai.

"Uncle Hai, please call and help me bring Liu Zhenwei and Wang Jiawei, who brought him in, to come to my office."

"Okay, I know."

Wang Yaodong put down the phone when he heard what he said.

While waiting for the two of them, Wang Yaodong put away the coffee that the other people had just drank.

I took two new cups and put them on the table.

In this way, when they come, I can pour them some coffee without having to go get it again.

After cleaning up, I sat there for another ten minutes before hearing a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

Wang Yaodong took a look and saw that it was indeed Chen Zhenwei and his two men.

"Come and sit!"

The two of them walked to the sofa and sat down.

"Sheng Wang, why did you come to see me again?" Liu Zhenwei asked as soon as he sat down.

When Wang Yaodong saw that he was so anxious, he did not go around in circles and replied directly: "Actually, the main reason I asked you to come here this time was to look for Jiawei. It's just that you brought him in, so I asked you to come with me."

Wang Jiawei was a little shocked when he heard that it was mainly him who was looking for him, but he calmed down and thought in his heart: He should be fired!
He had been abandoned before, he was used to it.

"Wang Sheng, if you have anything to say, just tell me." Wang Jiawei said calmly.

"Then I'll be honest, you've been in the company for a while, and you're of no use at all, so..."

Before Wang Yaodong could finish his words, he was interrupted by Wang Jiawei: "Wang Sheng, I already know what you mean. I will resign at the end of today."

"Can I finish my sentence?" Wang Yaodong said a little speechlessly.

"You say, you say." Liu Zhenwei said from the side.

"So, I hope you can make a movie for me within three months."

Wang Yaodong finished what he had not finished just now.

The two of them were stunned when they heard what he said. They did not expect to ask Wang Jiawei to make a movie.

"Why?" Wang Jiawei asked very puzzled.

Wang Yaodong smiled and said: "You can't write a script, right? Then just shoot it!"

Neither of them heard his logic, but when they thought about it, it was somewhat feasible.

Shit, there is no script, how to shoot.

It is estimated that one day will pass, and I don’t know what I want to shoot.

"Are you kidding?" Liu Zhenwei asked.

Wang Yaodong looked at the two of them and said, "Do you think I'm joking?"

After a pause, he continued: "500 million. Actors: Zhang Xueyou, Liu Hua, Zhong Chuhong. Who else do you want? You can find them at the company. I want to see the film completed in three months."

Although he didn't know what to shoot, Liu Zhenwei felt that three months should be enough, so he didn't say anything.

Wang Jiawei didn't think much and nodded to accept the matter.

After all, there is no reason for people to support him, they have to create some value.

After Wang Yaodong saw that there was no problem, he spoke again: "Then go to Mr. Li to apply for a fund, and then prepare to build a crew. If there are not enough people, hire them from outside."

Wang Yaodong himself also knows that the company currently does not have so many teams for everyone to shoot, and still has to hire a lot of people outside.

When the two heard what Wang Yaodong said, they got up and left.

Wang Yaodong didn't stay with them to chat. After they left, he got up, picked up his briefcase and left.

When I came downstairs, I drove my car to Guan Jiahui.

I haven't been here for many days recently.

Unfortunately, she was not at home when Wang Yaodong arrived, and she didn't know where she went.

Wang Yaodong didn't think much about it. There was nowhere to go anyway.

Go to the bedroom upstairs, take your pajamas, and go into the bathroom to wash yourself.

After coming out, I dried my hair and lay directly on the bed.

I don't want to rush to eat dinner now. I plan to eat it later if she comes back.

I just didn't wait long and fell asleep on the bed!
