Hualiu Director

Chapter 72

On June 2016, 6, the fourth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, a letter was written in the almanac: auspicious day for the zodiac, everything is going well!

In Qikeshu Creative Park in Beijing, a trendy building with red steel structure and glass as the main exterior wall ushered in its most important day today.

Many media outlets across the country wandered around this building with long guns and short guns, and when they saw celebrities coming in and out, they were crazy about shooting. If the management of the Creative Park hadn't stopped them, they would have rushed in to get more first-hand information .

"It's Wang Pangzhi, the beautiful bear next to him seems to be the heroine of a new play!"

"Qin Hao is here. I didn't expect him to look handsome in casual clothes."

"President Feng is here, isn't Renyi going to rehearse a new play these days!"

&nb-35's building, this building is not too big, the total indoor area of ​​the third floor is only about 500 square meters, but the interior decoration is very distinctive, focusing on the sense of technology and film culture.

Lin Hong's film and television company was about to open, and most of the big shots he had met in the past few months came with congratulatory gifts. Even Chen Ge, who was busy with work and couldn't be there, asked his son Chen Yu to come to congratulate him.

Although it's just a small film and television company that opened, it seems that this lineup is nothing more than a normal B-grade film festival walking the red carpet.

Although the media is not allowed to take close-up shots, Lin Hong still asked people to send milk tea and some snacks to the media, and said that after the opening ceremony is over, he will send the edited video to friends from the media.

This is actually a common practice in the industry. Because they are afraid of the media’s random shooting and writing, the event organizers will take pictures by themselves, and then cut out the indecent or inappropriate scenes of the guests and the event, so as to show the good side as much as possible.At the same time, they used some small gifts and small red envelopes to gamble on the reporter's mouth. After all, even if they want to write scribbles, they know how to measure.

As soon as the reporter heard that the task could be easily completed, he waited obediently outside, and then patted the stars who came into the small building in an endless stream.

The first floor of the small building is a place for employees to relax and meet guests. Huang Li and a group of talented actors accompanied Cheng Xi, Wang Pangzhi and He Lei to drink tea.

"Kong Xiao, bring two more packs of tea." Huang Li shouted with confidence, because Kong Xiao was his apprentice and he gave Lin Hong the tea.

"You are right about Lin Hong. He said before that he would cooperate with me in making a movie. I thought he would let me be the producer. It turned out that he wanted to use me to teach his brother Kong Xiao, so that he can produce in his own company. .Ha ha ha ha."

In fact, Lin Hong had expressed his intentions a long time ago. Since he wants to set up a film and television company, he can't always give the production rights to others, even if the other party is Huang Li who is benevolent to them.

However, in the short term, Kong Xiao won’t be able to win a major production, and has to rely on big producers like Huang Li, Cheng Xi, and Chen Hong. Lin Hong’s company only participates in capital investment, and Kong Xiao is the co-producer.Or a low-budget movie for Kong Xiao to practice.

But once Kong Xiao is out of the teacher, then Lin Hong's own project will definitely be the first choice for Kong Xiao to produce.

However, before Kong Xiao became a teacher, he still promised to let Huang Li be the main producer, and in the future, the company will grow and grow to independently produce blockbuster films, and the cooperation with Chunlei will not be interrupted, and Lin Hong will not refuse Chunlei's suitable guidance invitation. He will also provide Chunlei with good scripts from time to time.

So Huang Li said this not because he was dissatisfied, but because he wanted to show off his apprentice, Kong Xiao, and tell others about his relationship with Lin Hong's company.

On the other side, Ning Zi, Zhang Shan, and Yang Zi are experiencing the super-large-screen game console in the employee leisure area.

"Xing Wei, if you set up a game console, you won't be afraid that the employees will come to play a few rounds if they have something to do?"

In fact, Xing Wei also asked the question about Zhang Shan, but Lin Hong said that their company did not even open an artist agency department. This is to devote more time and energy to film and television production. The work can be overwhelming, so there has to be a place for them to let off steam.The game area and snack area in the lounge must be rich, and equipment such as large-screen game consoles and free coffee and hot dog machines must be equipped.

Wang Bo and Huang Xiaoming came together today. Huang Xiaoming's congratulatory gift was a set of mahogany office chairs that had been delivered to Lin Hong's office in advance.And Wang Bo's congratulatory gift was also not simple. The big tea table where Huang Li and the others drank tea at the same time was given by him. The authentic Brazilian huanghuali was absolutely valuable.

"Lin Hong, what are you planning to do?"

Accompanied by Lin Hong, Huang Xiaoming and Wang Bo went upstairs to visit, but before going up the stairs, they found a vacancy in the shape of a five-pointed star at the leftmost position of each step, so they were very curious about the meaning of the vacancy of the five-pointed star.

"Brother Xiaoming like this, our company is a film and television company. Although it is in its infancy, we believe that many, many excellent film and television works will be produced in the future. Therefore, when I was decorating, I proposed to leave a place on the stairs. If there is a vacancy, every time our company releases a work, we will order a plaque engraved with the information and honor of the work.

Our goal is to have these stars go straight to the trophy room on the third floor within ten years. "

Huang Xiaoming walked in and took a look, and sure enough, he saw a golden five-pointed star on the far left of the first step, engraved on it: "Three Monks" Best Short Film at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival

Moreover, there are still many vacancies in the five-pointed star. I think "Three Monks" can have other honors that can be engraved on it.

There are a total of 42 steps from the first floor to the third floor, which means that Lin Hongping will release at least four film and television works every year in the next ten years, which is very difficult for a newly established film and television company.

But for Wang Bo and Huang Xiaoming, it's good for Lin Hong to have such ambitions. Young people have goals to be motivated, so they have more opportunities to cooperate as actors.

He led them to the second floor, which is the staff office area. There are more than 170 staff desks in a space of more than 20 square meters. There are computers and other office supplies on it. But at this stage, only seven or eight workers with workers are seen. Sign employees at work.

"This is the staff office area. We are a small company, and we don't do artist brokerage business. Even my own brokerage business is handed over to Sister Jinghua. We will put all our energy on film and television production, so the staff is relatively streamlined. .

At present, we have basically recruited talents in legal affairs, finance and film and television production, and other talents are also entrusted to search companies. "

During the conversation, the three of them came to the third floor.

"The third floor is the management office, conference room and showroom."

There are a total of 8 shareholders in this company, except for the 409 people in dormitory 6, and Liao Xingmin and Li Zimin, two of Lin Hong's children.Among them, Lin Hong invested the most and is the absolute core. After everyone's discussion, he holds 51% of the shares, and the remaining 7 people each hold 7% of the shares.

"We have 8 shareholders. I am the chairman of the company, Kong Xiao is in charge of the production department, Zhang Wentong is the art director, Li Zimin is in charge of clothing, props and make-up departments, Liao Xingmin is the deputy general manager of the company, and everyone else has their own offices. But don’t care about the specific affairs. In addition, our current general manager is still vacant, and the deputy general manager Liao Xingmin will temporarily take the concurrent position.”

This is also where Lin Hong and the others are troubled. Liao Xingmin has the ability to manage personnel, but is seriously lacking in the relevant industry knowledge required for film and television production, so it is still possible to be a deputy general manager, but it is difficult to be a general manager. A Hong Kong person who had worked in an American film and television company agreed to come, but when he learned that the boss of the company was a group of young people who had just graduated from college, he refused.

"Hey, you're almost naked now, but it's okay, our industry has undergone great changes, and many technical talents have transferred to the management industry. If you keep in touch with your peers, you may meet the right one that day."

Wang Bo comforted Lin Hong, but what he said was very instructive.

"Yes, we will also help you inquire about industry-related talent information, and recommend it to you if there is a suitable one!"

Huang Xiaoming also offered words of comfort.

Lin Hong quickly thanked the two big brothers for their help, and then led them around the third floor before going downstairs.

"Lin Hong, invite all distinguished guests to come out, the auspicious time is coming, it's time to unveil the plaque and cut the ribbon!"

Lin Hong and the others are really inexperienced in things like the opening ceremony. In the end, the manager Wang Jinghua took over the tedious work, and Dong Jian was caught by her to be the master of ceremonies. Not to mention that he looks like a kid in a small suit. That's what happened.

Lin Hong invited all the guests to go out. A red carpet had already been laid at the door. A long brass plaque was hung on the left side of the door, covered by a large piece of red silk.

"Dear friends and distinguished friends, first of all, thank you for coming. Today is a great day for our good friend Lin Hong and others to open the company. Now we are going to the first session, and the eight founders of the company will be invited to unveil the plaque!"

Eight people smiled and walked up to the two sides of the plaque, one of them was holding a ribbon hanging from the red silk, and they looked at the family and friends who were applauding with smiles on their faces.

The five people in dormitory 409 are not from the capital, but their family members are all present today. After all, they still have to come for such a big event as starting a company.

Lin Hong also looked at the gratified smiles of Lao Lin and Sister Hu, and Lin Qinglan who had just finished the college entrance examination was also full of excitement.

As Dong Jian counted down to three two one, eight people pulled the ribbons in their hands at the same time, and the red silk covering the plaque slowly fell down.

Ten vigorous and powerful characters of "Hua Liu Film and Television Entertainment Co., Ltd." came into view.

"Good name!"

The name Hua Liu was of course proposed by Lin Hong, but it was inspired by the words of Jay Chou, the king of heaven in his previous life, when he was interviewed by the media, "Hua Liu is the best".Others also felt that the name Hualiu was imposing, so they agreed unanimously.

After the unveiling ceremony was the speech session. As the only speaker, Lin Hong didn’t have any speech scripts. Here are all his relatives and friends. There is no need for those fake speeches. He only needs to speak out the true words in his heart. up.

"Thank you, thank you, it was such a joy today, thank you all for being here.

When I just unveiled the plaque, I saw Brother Liao, Zimin, and the brothers in dormitory 409. Compared with their initial appearance in memory, I suddenly found that we have all grown a lot.

The foundation of Hualiu can be established is love and trust. We, a group of young people, came together because we love movies, and we chose to establish Hualiu because we trust each other.

You may not know that before the establishment of the company, each of us thought of a name or two, and Hualiu was elected unanimously in the final vote.Hualiu Hualiu, we just want to lead the trend of China Entertainment, and this trend not only flows in the Chinese cultural circle, but also flows in Asia, Europe, America, and the whole world. "

Everyone applauded Lin Hong's words. Regardless of whether their goals were ambitious or ambitious, at least at this moment they saw a group of young people with dreams running hard.No one has the right to laugh at someone who is running hard.

"We all know that it is very difficult to achieve the dream of Hualiu, but are there any great dreams in the world that can be easily achieved?

We always believe that only muddy roads can leave our own footprints!

Thank you again for being here today. Please monitor us together. If you find that our dream path has deviated, please remind us in time, thank you! "

Lin Hong's speech was really short, but very firm and powerful. He let everyone know that the establishment of Hualiu was not based on impulse, but out of love and dreams.

The applause was like thunder, and everyone was touched by Lin Hong's sentence "Only muddy roads can leave one's own footprints".

"Thank you Chairman Lin for your speech, we also believe that Hualiu will be able to spread our excellent Chinese culture better under your leadership.

Next, all shareholders and guest representatives of Hualiu are invited to cut the ribbon. "

Eight shareholders were naturally indispensable for the ribbon-cutting candidates, and Lin Hong also invited the four producers of "Ask the Director for Advice".In addition, Lin Hong also invited two big stars, Wang Bo and Huang Xiaoming. You must know that their prices for cutting the ribbon for companies usually start at seven figures. It is an extra surprise to be able to cut the ribbon for Hualiu today.

The 14 ribbon-cutters were indeed a bit too many, but Lin Hong was not a stickler at all, and everyone thought it was good to be lively and festive, so when the 14 colored balls were cut, there was a lot of congratulations at the scene.

The camera recorded all the festivities, and Lao Lin and Sister Hu hurriedly invited everyone to go in and rest. Later, the grand hotel outside had arranged a banquet for the opening.

Lin Hong didn't go into the company right away. He came to the countless flower baskets on both sides of the door. He saw the names of many people.

Wang Wen's name also appeared on one of the pair of flower baskets. It's her birthday tomorrow, so she seems to be able to go.

Who is Qi Mei?I don't have any impression, maybe they are friends of the seven of them!Lin Hong thought so.

After searching around, Lin Hong still didn't see the name. He shrugged and took out his mobile phone. There was also no congratulatory message from him, nothing.

Forget it, let it be!

Lin Hong laughed at himself, and the last flame in his heart was extinguished.
