Chapter 122. "Assembly Number"(1/2)

 Beijing, Huayi Film and Television Investment Company.

The top elevator opened with a "ding" moment. A young man walked out of the elevator in a suit and ties, came to the secretary's workbench, and raised the file bag in his hand toward the young female secretary with a beautiful face, and said frivolously:

"Lili has become beautiful again today. Is Xiao Wang always there?"

The female secretary smiled charmingly and replied: "Director Ma is joking again. Mr. Wang is here, so I'm waiting for you."

"Haha, okay, I'll go find Mr. Wang first, come back later, Brother Ma will chat with you."

The man laughed, turned around and entered the corridor, and came to the penultimate office with the "General Manager" sign hanging. He stood firm, restrained his emotions, and his expression became humble, and he gently knocked on the door.

"In"

A thick voice came, and the young man pushed open the door and walked in.

This is the headquarters of Beijing Huayi Film and Television Investment Company. The young man is Ma Tao, deputy director of the production department of Huayi Company. Today I am here to report to General Manager Wang Zhonglei.

....

The office is large, with nearly a hundred square meters, and the decoration is extremely luxurious. As soon as you enter the door, you will see a large floor-to-ceiling window. Through it, you can see the scenery of half of the city, giving people a feeling of being high and powerful.

From the floor to the ceiling, all the materials are imported, the sofas are made of high-quality leather, exquisite antique vases on the marble floor, and various precious works of art and collections are decorated on the walls.

On the north side is a huge mahogany desk, behind which is sitting a middle-aged man who is not angry and arrogant, and is cutting a cigar intently at this moment.

This person is Wang Zhonglei, general manager of Huayi Company.

Ma Tao walked a few steps quickly, walked to the desk, bent down deeply, handed the documents with both hands, and said:

"Mr. Wang, Director Feng's final project plan has come out, please check it out."

Wang Zhonglei didn't even raise his head, but was still concentrating on cutting his cigar and replied casually.

"Let's go there, I'll see it when I have time, and you can tell me a brief story."

"Okay, Mr. Wang. The entire film of "Assembly" is planned to invest 40 million, and the total investment cost of external publicity is 80 million. The preparations for the entire crew have been completed. The shooting location is Kuandian in Northeast China. Director Feng just led the team yesterday. "

"I heard that something happened to the crew a while ago, the warehouse caught fire, and a batch of produced props were burned?"

Wang Zhonglei still didn't look up, his voice was not loud, and his tone did not change, but this calm and normal words still made Ma Tao sweat and quickly replied:

"Well, yes, Mr. Wang, it was caused by poor management of the prop warehouse. The fire lost a batch of made props, and the value was estimated to reach several million."

"How did your production department handle it?"

"Mr. Wang, all the responsible persons of all relevant props were fired and the industry was banned. They will definitely not be seen in the circle in the future."

"Well, the company cannot suffer losses for nothing, we must kill one to warn a hundred."

After saying this, Wang Zhonglei picked up the cut cigar and put it in his mouth. Ma Tao took out the lighter quickly and started to fire with a "snap".

"Hmm...huh...Is the budget enough?"

"It is likely to exceed the standard. Our production department has urgently applied for an additional budget of 10 million yuan, and you need to sign it by Mr. Wang."

Wang Zhonglei sat up, opened the files on the table, and browsed them simply.

While watching, he asked casually:

"Have all the main actors been ordered?"

"Yes, Mr. Wang, because of the budget, the male lead Director Feng agreed to use Zhang Hanyu. He can play the role with zero pay, and the second male lead is Deng Chao."

"Well, is Xiao Ming still unwilling to act?"

"Uh, yes, Mr. Wang, Brother Xiao Ming has another appointment."

"Okay."

Seeing that Wang Zhonglei turned to the last page, Ma Tao immediately handed over the signing pen. Wang Zhonglei took it naturally and signed his name with Long Feifeng.

After finishing, he leaned back and said, "Is there anything else?"

"By the way, Mr. Wang, our partner has some ideas about the heroine of this drama and wants to change it to theirs."

Wang Zhonglei picked up the cigar and took another sip.

"Who is the heroine?"

"It's called Chen Shu, Feng Daoding."

"Well, you can talk about it. Everything has its corresponding price. If you do it in the production department, do you have any questions about other actors?"

"There's nothing else, oh, the last actor is Sun Yi, Director Feng just decided two days ago."

"Sun Yi? Who? Does it sound familiar?"

"Mr. Wang, the person who bought our investment share in "Soldier Assault" a while ago, is the new actor. He is the tightest and more popular. He just won the Best Newbie Award. It is said that he has a bit of a relationship with Zhang Guoli."

When Wang Zhonglei heard of "Soldier Assault", he immediately remembered that this incident caused them to lose a lot of money. Although they did not lose money and made a lot of profits, they did not make a big profit, which made people very unhappy.

Wang Zhonglei narrowed his eyes and exhaled a smoke ring.

He was also thinking in his mind at this moment.

When the investment share was transferred, it was indeed Huayi's place to lay off the independent TV drama department, and it urgently needed to recover funds to prepare for the movie "Assembly". In addition, Wang Shuo and Yu Feihong in the Beijing Circle agreed to this matter, but now it seems that losing nearly tens of millions of benefits is indeed uncomfortable.

Wang Zhonglei was angry with this Sun Yi. He was not a person who was not tolerant, but the obvious benefits of tens of millions made people jealous.

However, on the other hand, the energy of Wang Shuo, Yu Feihong and Zhang Guoli in the circle should not be underestimated. They agreed to it in the first place, and signed the contract in black and white. Now they regret it, and the impact is really bad.

Ma Tao looked at Wang Zhonglei's brows and was eager to relieve his boss's worries, and said viciously:

"Mr. Wang, why don't you change it for him and then notify several major companies to jointly ban him?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Fuck, I don't want to worry about face anymore? Those people are not easy to mess with. Have you joined hands with other companies to make them laugh at us Huayi?"

"Yes, yes, I'm too superficial and unthinkable."

Ma Tao quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake, and the sweat beads on his forehead were clearly visible.

Wang Zhonglei has repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, but he still felt that it was a bit inappropriate. He was named Wuming. People in the circle would say that Huayi bullies the small for the big and does not value credibility. The key is that the three of them are not easy to meet. If Huayi regrets it, it is equivalent to slapping the three of them in the face.

But I just suffered this secret loss and didn't do anything, and I felt a little angry.

"In this way, you are also one of the producers. Go and sign Sun Yi in. From now on, you can be your own family, and it's easy to say anything."

"I understand, Mr. Wang, uh, what if this kid is ungrateful and refuses to sign?"

Wang Zhonglei chuckled.

"Hmph, it's easy to sign. If he had changed to him, he would not have to think about any projects in our Huayi in the future. Moreover, he would not have to toast or eat them, and he would have to say anything wherever he went."

After hearing this, Ma Tao immediately gave him a flattery.

"Mr. Wang, Gao Ming."

....

Northeast, Kuandian.

At 3:30 in the morning, Sun Yi was sleeping soundly and felt like he was being stabbed.

"Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, stop sleeping, get up quickly, it's time to go."

"Uh~ Brother Bao, please let me sleep for a while, I'm too sleepy."

"No, the director said that he will be on the set at 4 o'clock. Hurry up, it will be too late."

Sun Yi opened his eyes in a daze, and the first thing he saw was Wang Baoqiang's row of iconic big white teeth.

After a fierce fight in my heart, I barely crawled out of the warm bed.

As soon as I got off the ground, I immediately shivered in the cold.

The weather in Northeast China in November is close to zero, and the shooting scene is still in the wilderness. The crew can only arrange accommodation in the nearest town. The heating is almost gone, and it relies on human flesh to keep warm. Sun Yi, who was a Northeastern person in his previous life, could not withstand it.

He returned to Beijing from Hangzhou at the end of October. He only stayed for two days. In the past two days, he was not idle. He determined the publicity plan for "Those Years" with Qing Film Studio. After negotiations, he took out another 500,000 yuan as publicity funds for online publicity, and his investment ratio also increased from the original 40% to 50%.

I also discussed with Taihe Mai Tian about the release of his second album.

His album has been recorded. He took the time to take advantage of his rest time in October, and he averaged one song a day. Sometimes when he was in good condition, he could record two songs a day.

Just take advantage of the opportunity of album release and plan to be released in late November with the promotion of "Those Years".

....

Back to the crew.

Sun Yi put on a sweater and pants, and complained while washing.

"Damn, this is not a life for people."

The actors of the entire crew of "Assembly" get up at 4 a.m. to gather and start making makeup, start shooting at 7 a.m., and continue to shoot until 4 p.m., for a full 12 hours. This is because it is dark early in the shop, otherwise it will take longer.

He has been here for several days. After that, he immediately asked director Feng Xiaogang to ask for the script. As expected, he was arranged as a small supporting role, instructor Wang Jincun.

Not to mention, the character is quite consistent with him.

Wang Jincun is an ordinary national normal school student. He is young and a weak scholar. If there was no war, he should have sat in a quiet classroom and read and written. After graduation, he became an excellent teacher. However, in that era, war was inevitable. As the instructor of the Ninth Company, he was timid and cowardly. He followed the Ninth Company to participate in the blocking operation to cover the large army. He received encouragement on the battlefield, fought bravely, and eventually died heroically.

This role, acting is not too difficult for him. He is also very physically compatible and he can handle the war scenes. It is because he has to get up at around 3 o'clock every day, which makes him feel really uncomfortable.
