Chapter 132 Give a chance

After taking a shower while humming a song, Qi Wei came out of the bathroom in a happy and happy mood.

When the man in a white bathrobe wiped his wet hair with a dry towel, he saw Cai Yinong sitting on the bedside, holding a woman's cigarette and puffing away.

The pajamas he was wearing were as open as a coat. They were already vaguely visible, but now they were almost uncovered and could be seen at a glance.

It adds a sense of temptation and freedom.

"Would you like one?"

Holding a cigarette between her fingers, she picked up the cigarette case from the bedside and pointed at Qi Wei and asked.

"No need." Qi Wei shook his head and refused.

Since you are still a singer, you should take good care of your voice and avoid bad habits like smoking and drinking as much as possible.

This is responsible for the fans and also for ourselves.

Therefore, except for special circumstances such as filming in the future, Qi Wei will not smoke.

And now Qi Wei is urging Mr. Zhou to quit smoking. He must set an example for her, so he must not smoke anymore.

"Then do you mind if I smoke?" Cai Yinong asked again with a smile.

"I don't mind." Qi Wei shook his head, but couldn't help but rub his fingers under his nose.

Seeing Qi Wei's conflicted look, and realizing that he was a singer, Cai Yinong wisely extinguished the cigarette in her hand in the ashtray, dispersing the smoke surrounding her.

After the smoke dissipated, Qi Wei, who had dried his hair, sat on the edge of the bed.

When Qi Wei was sitting by the bed, she hugged Qi Wei's waist from behind.

He closed his eyes and seemed to be reminiscing.

This is another woman conquered by Qi Wei's "power".

"When you were with me just now, were you thinking about that girl named Lin Xilei?"

She stood up and sat next to Qi Wei, looked into Qi Wei's eyes and said, "Your eyes can't deceive me. When you look at her, your eyes are full of desire."

"You have a very keen eye."

"That's not the case."

Qi Wei smiled and said: "Who is a beautiful and sexy woman without desire? You have just realized that I am a very normal man. Only men with no ability will bury this desire in their hearts. If you can have the opportunity like me

, they will also release their inner desires.”

"You are not normal. You are much more powerful than before. I can't bear it anymore..."

She said as she lightly traced Qi Wei's chest with her fingers.

"Thank you for the compliment. This is probably better than just getting married. You are more energetic than before."

Qi Wei pinched her chin and looked her over, then smiled and said: "You don't have to belittle yourself. I respect you very much. When I am with you, I will only think about you. To be honest, conquering you is more important than conquering her."

Sense of accomplishment…”

"oh?"

These words surprised Cai Yinong.

She is self-aware of her own beauty, and she is considered fresh and pleasant among ordinary people, but there is no comparison with celebrities and that girl named Lin Xilei.

Qi Wei explained: "Because you are a capable woman and you will also be a successful strong woman in the future."

"Becoming a strong woman requires the support of noble people."

"Didn't I support you just now?"

Qi Wei asked with a smile: "You came to Beijing this time not just to reminisce with me, right?"

"Why not? I am also a normal woman and I also have needs."

"Then what do you think of me, the kind of service person who solves your needs?"

Qi Wei's words somewhat clarify the relationship between the two of them.

Cai Yinong is a very smart and rational woman. For her, her career is more important than her relationship, and she doesn't expect too much.

To maintain this relationship with Qi Wei, we hope to become a link for mutual friendly cooperation.

So far, both parties have a tacit understanding.

Of course, if there is an opportunity to go further, she is willing to seize it.

After all, in her opinion, Qi Wei is simply a perfect man, apart from being a bit of a playboy.

And being flirtatious is not a problem at all for her.

In particular, Qi Wei's "ability" satisfied her so much that every time she felt like "I want to become an immortal", she couldn't stop.

Hearing Qi Wei's words, she smiled even more happily and said: "Of course, haha..."

"In this case," Qi Wei reached out to Cai Yinong seriously, "What about my reward?"

"Here you go."

Cai Yinong found her wallet and took out a hundred-yuan bill, then gave it to Qi Wei's hand with a "pop" sound, "Is one bill enough?"

"Thanks."

This is a kind of fun, and the show should be carried out to the end. Qi Wei directly put the banknotes away, and then knocked her down.

"This fee can be paid again."

"Enough, enough! I can't be tormented by you anymore! If you toss me any more, it won't be enjoyable! Then it's just torture!" She quickly stopped and shouted.

Qi Wei looked at her face, and the smile on his face became even stronger, "Okay, I'll treat it as your prepayment next time."

"Okay." She kissed Qi Wei's cheek.

Qi Wei then said: "Let's talk about business. How are you arranging things in Hong Kong City?"

When it came to business, Cai Yinong became serious and replied seriously: "I am recruiting the behind-the-scenes team according to your request, and it is going quite smoothly so far."

"Don't report good news or bad news. If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me and I will find a way to help you solve it."

"After all, I have been working in Hong Kong for so long, and I have a certain network of contacts. It is really smooth. Don't worry, I will definitely trouble you if I should."

Qi Wei kissed her cheek encouragingly and said, "It's good. It seems that I found the right person."

Through the relationship with Han Sanping, Qi Wei did recruit enough behind-the-scenes film and television talents from Beijing Film Studio, and the film and television company began to take shape.

But the problem is that these behind-the-scenes talents are all making movies, and Qi Wei's film and television company is preparing to focus on TV series in the past few years.

Just make one or two movies a year with a small budget and complete the task.

The key projects produced by Qiwei Film and Television Company next year will all be TV series.

Not to mention those who came from Beijing Film Studio, they look down on them from the bottom of their hearts and are not willing to make TV series. Even if they are willing, it will take a while to adapt to the rhythm of making TV series.

Those who can make good movies may not necessarily be able to make good TV series.

At the beginning of the millennium, when the mainland film market was at its lowest point, the "famous" Director Chen went down to Earth to film a TV series called "Lu Bu and Diao Chan."

What was the result?

I didn’t let myself go too far, I blindly adapted it blindly, the filming was too shocking, and it was removed from the shelves by 404 as soon as it was aired.

As a last resort, the film's title was changed to "Butterfly Dances in the End of the World", and the dubbing had to be re-dubbed and more than 800 changes were made.

After three rounds of review, plus a lot of post-production dubbing and deletions, it finally turned from a historical drama into an imaginary fantasy drama.

Therefore, this drama caused investors to lose a lot of money and also left a shadow on Director Chen. From then on, he never touched TV dramas again.

After that, making movies became magical.

Next year in 1999, Qi Wei Film and Television Company's most important project "Meteor Garden" will be directed by Qi Wei's MV director Wu Ershan.

Although his dream is to make movies, from making music videos to making TV series, this is a big step, and he will definitely be willing to do so.

He is quite capable, although his ability to shoot pictures is better than telling stories, but in the past two years, he has shot a lot of Qi Wei's MVs. Many of Qi Wei's MVs have the nature of idol dramas, which invisibly gave him

Accumulated a lot of experience.

Especially this time, "Courage" from Qi Wei's new junior high school. Under Qi Wei's instruction, he actually shot a lot of content when filming the MV for this song.

The nearly seven-minute story cannot be contained in the MV.

Then Qi Wei asked him to re-edit a short film of more than 20 minutes, which was eventually broadcast on the TV station.

The effect after the broadcast was particularly good and very welcome.

This also fed back to the song "Courage", making this song firmly occupy the top of the important mainland charts until now.

The short film of the song "Courage" proved to Qi Wei his strength, so Qi Wei decided to let him direct "Meteor Garden".

However, if a big ship wants to set sail, in addition to an excellent helmsman, it also needs other excellent crew members.

Wu Ershan's previous MV shooting team actually only had a small number of people. They could barely cope with the MV shooting, but they were obviously unable to do the TV series.

Not experienced enough and not professional enough.

Qi Wei is willing to give them the opportunity to grow, but does not want them to mess up "Meteor Garden", his most important project.

The Hong Kong film and television industry already had a relatively complete system at this time. Both in front of and behind the scenes, it was more mature and professional than in the mainland.

It's also more efficient.

Although Qi Wei doesn't have much favorable impressions of Hong Kong's film and television industry, Qi Wei doesn't act on his own initiative and will definitely use it to grow.

He would definitely be willing to recruit outstanding talents behind the scenes in film and television.

They may even actively recruit.

Especially since Qi Wei is planning to show off his talents next year and even get involved in filming martial arts dramas, and is in urgent need of excellent behind-the-scenes personnel.

In fact, it is also easy to recruit excellent behind-the-scenes talents from Hong Kong at this time.

In the past few years, Hong Kong movies were most prosperous. The tiny Hong Kong city could shoot more than 300 movies every year.

Oriental Hollywood is well-deserved.

When almost everyone in Hong Kong is making a lot of money, a large number of outstanding behind-the-scenes personnel have also been trained.

But now, the market for Hong Kong films is gradually being eaten away by Hollywood films. Although this is their own fault, no matter what, the decline of Hong Kong films is irreversible.

The output of Hong Kong films has plummeted every year, which has also caused a large number of people behind the scenes to lose their jobs.

It's not a joke that Wang Jing makes bad movies so that everyone can eat.

At this time, some people left Hollywood, some went north to develop their careers, and more were forced to change careers.

Anyway, everyone is looking for a way to survive.

In this case, if someone is willing to offer them an olive branch, someone will naturally take the bait.

Of course, excellent behind-the-scenes personnel may need to spend some effort, but when it comes to adding money, few people can resist the temptation.

Qi Wei also conducted investigations before when he was in Hong Kong, and the situation was roughly the same.

Cai Yinong added: "I have also been in contact with some artists in Hong Kong. Isn't your "Meteor Garden" planned to be a co-production? The starring actors should also be Hong Kong artists, who happen to have market appeal.

."

Later, when her film and television company was founded, a large number of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists starred in its several dramas.

Regarding her suggestion, Qi Wei smiled and shook his head and rejected it directly: "This is not necessary."

Then he began to explain: "You have to understand that the restrictions on co-productions are to protect our existence, and they are aimed at them, not us.

The market appeal is for movies, because it costs money to go to the cinema to watch movies, and the audience has more choice and initiative. However, TV dramas are different. TV dramas do not need to spend money, and the audience is more likely to passively accept it.

Well, even if we find a few new actors to act in it, there will always be people to watch it, and "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" proves this point."

Cai Yinong was thinking about Qi Wei's words and asked doubtfully: "Are you planning on starring all mainland artists in "Meteor Garden"?"

"I do have this idea and am ready to do it. If nothing else, there are many actors who graduate from the three major universities alone every year. They can't get into movies. It's not because they are not good enough or not good enough, but because they are not good enough.

There is no chance of fair competition.

And since I am one of them, I naturally have to do my part to find ways to change this status quo and give them this opportunity."

"But will this be too risky? Will it affect the ratings of the show in the future?"

"Risk? The ratings won't be low as long as I'm here!"

Qi Wei looked confident and continued: "You should have noticed that I starred in the drama "Love to the End", which has very good ratings..."

Cai Yinong nodded. Now that the premiere of "Love to the End" has ended, the average ratings nationwide are 25%, and the highest even exceeded 30%.

"Carry Love to the End" is the drama with the highest ratings on Beijing TV in the past two years, but it made Beijing TV feel proud and proud.

This also made the subsequent rounds of rebroadcast rights for "Love to the End" sold very smoothly.

The popularity of "Love to the End" was actually beyond Cai Yinong's expectation. She never expected that idol dramas would have such a market in the mainland.

She is full of expectations for "Meteor Garden" and is now more interested in it.

This is one of the reasons why she rushed to the mainland.

"Okay, you are the boss and you have the final say. I will follow your arrangements and do whatever you tell me."

Cai Yinong asked again: "That Lin Xilei, how do you plan to arrange it?"

"If she wants to stay with you, then she will stay with you. If she wants to stay with me, then she will stay with me. I respect her decision." Qi Wei said lightly.

Nowadays, the mainland is developing rapidly, but it is still an economically backward place compared to Hong Kong and Taiwan. Not everyone wants to develop in the mainland. In fact, Lin Xilei prefers to develop in Hong Kong.

"But she should follow you. After all, you value her more, and..."

"What, you already plan to focus your career on the mainland?" Qi Wei asked, knowing her inner thoughts very well.

"I can't hide anything from you." Cai Yinong smiled and nodded.

In today's environment of declining steel production, the film and television company established by Qi Wei in Hong Kong will definitely not engage in movies.

The channels for TV dramas have been completely controlled by several TV stations such as TVB. These TV stations have their own production departments. They are now producing and selling themselves and will not spend time and money to buy TV dramas.

There is no soil for filming TV series.

Therefore, even if Cai Yinong is hired to manage the affairs of Hong Kong City Film and Television Company, no matter how capable she is, she will not be able to do so, and it will be difficult for the company to develop.

It can only be used as a cover-up company to facilitate the censorship of co-produced films.

Qi Wei actually doesn't particularly care whether the film and television company in Hong Kong City can develop, but Cai Yinong is different. She is a very ambitious woman.

Naturally, I am unwilling to do so.

She replied: "I still have some connections in Shanghai and have reached some agreements. I am planning to set up my own film and television company in Shanghai."

She stood up and looked at Qi Wei and said: "I will definitely complete what you ask me to do beautifully."

Qi Wei held her up and let her sit on top of him. While stroking her, he said, "You still need to worry about the things in Hong Kong City. I have no objection to you setting up your own film and television company, but I have to invest in it."

Invest in shares?

Feeling Qi Wei's movements, she instantly understood the meaning of Qi Wei's pun, a blush gradually rose on her face, and she smiled:

"Of course, I don't have much money. I'm here to come to you. I welcome you to invest. It's best to increase your efforts and invest more funds."

"That's what you said."

So Qi Wei smiled and put her in the right position.

"Don't...I didn't mean that..."

"It's okay, I won't torment you this time, I will be very gentle."

Not long after, she was lying in Qi Wei's arms, dripping with sweat.

Qi Wei continued the previous topic and said: "Intensifying efforts means that I will buy more shares."

"Nothing...it doesn't matter...anyway...I...I'm not ready...to start my own business...you take advantage of me...or...I take advantage of you...I can do it."

"Hey, what you said, it seems that I have to increase my efforts and inject more funds into you."
