Chapter 464 Dinner(1/3)
"The news spreads so fast, so that's nonsense." He Gui understood when he saw the big-nosed dragon waving his hand, asked, and then pushed the card.
"Hey, I haven't seen you boss for a long time." The big-nosed dragon said with a smile.
Then he continued to play mahjong, and He Gui asked: "How are you doing lately?"
"It's not bad. Thank you to the elders of the company for taking care of me." Big-nosed Dragon moved a stool and sat behind He Gui and said.
Lin Xiaoming said while counting the cards: "Aaron, you're welcome, this is all your own ability."
"Brother Long is very prosperous at Hollywood. When are you going to bring us supporting characters to Hollywood?" Uncle Da also said.
Brother Long chuckled: "Uncle Da, you're welcome. You are a gold medal supporting actor in comedy. I would like to find you, but I'm afraid Xingzi won't be happy."
He Gui now implements the big artist studio model, which has created many studios and later established companies. However, Victoria is now about content and channels, especially channels.
If these big artists want to get good channel resources, they can only cooperate with Victoria. They can do it alone, but they will definitely not have as many channels as big companies.
When an artist sets up his own studio, or a company cooperates with Victoria, although the artist himself makes more money and Victoria makes less, Victoria's risks are also reduced, while the artist's risks are increased.
They are complementary to each other. Many movies are released every year, but less than one tenth of them can be remembered. This is why Victoria took the initiative to sign a studio partner agreement when her artist reached a certain level.
According to the 2001 annual report, less than 30% of the independent artist companies made money, and the rest were basically losing money. The company boss himself made movies, TV series, and variety shows, so that he would not lose money.
But these artists are still happy to make their own movies, because once a movie becomes popular, it will turn around.
But being an artist and being a boss, being an actor and being a director are completely different things...
Just like many actors who become directors, they have been in this industry for more than ten years before they have this ability, and not everyone is qualified to be a director.
Many artists have no problem acting on their own, but once they make a movie, it's like shit...
"Boss, I heard that we are planning to prepare a live-action animated film. I wonder if I have a chance?" the big-nosed dragon asked while laughing.
After He Gui bought Marvel, he planned to turn it into a live-action movie. He originally planned to build the base at the Dabjiangkou Reservoir, but there is no water storage and power generation there, so he is not planning to go there.
To make a live-action movie from an animated movie, all you need are special effects. Of course, why bother setting up a real shooting base and a real city?
"We are selecting a location this year, but the location has not been chosen yet. We are planning to build a large-scale film and television base. Although the special effects are good, real scenes and special effects are the best." He Gui said while playing cards.
"But Marvel is an American comic after all, so Marvel's animated live-action movies have a higher proportion of Western actors. Of course, there are also some animations from our mainland that use more mainland faces. As for the casting, I personally don't participate. It all depends on the director.
"Yes." He Gui said.
When the big-nosed dragon heard this, he flattered him and said, "Boss, you are a great director. How about you direct one yourself and get a good start?"
"It's not impossible. We'll look at it later. Live-action movies use a lot of special effects, so they require huge electricity bills. In addition, they need an area with a relatively mild climate. Let's wait until the location is selected and the construction is completed." He Gui said.
The big-nosed dragon nodded and understood what He Gui meant. He Gui couldn't decide on you, the big-nosed dragon, just by saying it openly. But He Gui said that Marvel's animations are mainly Hollywood. That's not what he said.
Who?
"What a fool, boss, I'm sorry." Lin Xiaoming looked at He Gui with a smile after touching the cards.
"Not bad, not bad." He Gui nodded.
Goo Jai said, "Brother Long, come and help me, I'm going to the bathroom."
"Okay." The big-nosed dragon got on his seat.
He Gui knew what was going on. This guy probably made the big-nosed dragon on purpose...
He Gui doesn't care so much, just play cards...
Sure enough, Gu Zai came back a few minutes later and sat behind He Gui, acting as a dog-headed strategist for He Gui.
"Good morning, boss." Not long after, Andy also came.
"Boss." Jiang Jiahua's husband Jiahui also came.
"Go and get a table by yourselves. We must agree first and don't delay work." Although the floor above this executive is high, these big shots must have called the executive directly, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get up.
He Gui didn't say anything about the big-nosed dragon coming up just now. The other two executives knew that He Gui didn't mind. If He Gui had said something about the big-nosed dragon coming just now, then no one would come.
"Good morning, boss." Zhou Xingxing also came.
"Find your own place." He Gui said casually. If he didn't say anything, he would stand behind him. Even Gu Zai was sent away by He Gui. After playing a few games of mahjong, you will know what is going on?
The assistant and Jia Jingwen were chatting on the other side about what girls talk about, about clothes, bags, and perfume.
"There seem to be a lot of people?" the assistant heard something like a voice.
"I think I heard it too?" Jia Jingwen also nodded.
The assistant and Jia Jingwen opened the door to the room and heard the sound of mahjong. They were surprised to meet the cleaning staff on this floor.
"Auntie, what's going on?" the assistant asked suspiciously.
"The big boss is playing mahjong with others, and now there are several tables of people? No more, I'm going to get busy." The cleaning lady replied.
The assistant and Jia Jingwen came here, looked over, and were stunned. This is how to deal with things. Then look at the mahjong player, good guy.
"Aling, there is a shortage of people here." The assistant looked over, and Zheng Yijian happened to see him, and he said.
He Gui looked back and saw the two of them, still talking: "Find your own place. If you lose, you won't be reimbursed."
"Yeah." The assistant quickly pulled Jia Jingwen and walked to the corner.
Cheng E-kin and Hong Kong director Lao Du happened to be short of people, and several tables around them were full.
"Play Wanwan mahjong?" Zheng Yijian saw that the two of them were playing Wanwan, so he asked.
"It's better to listen to Director Du," the assistant said.
"Fight as you like. Fight as you like." Except for those filming outside, the crew here on Hong Kong Island are all off today. The leading actors and directors are missing. Even some second-rate and third-rate artists have disappeared secretly. Only one person is left.
There are so many extras, even the lights and cameras are gone.
Most of the lighting and camera work are made by Victoria's employees. You must know that good lighting and photography can save a lot of costs for the entire film.
When encountering a 250-meter light, the director will be furious; when encountering a 250-meter camera, the director and producer will vomit blood.
Some people say that the director doesn’t know how to take pictures? It’s possible that he does, but every time the director has to say it and start over again, it will be very expensive, with so many extras and so on.
He Gui suddenly smelled a scent, which was the Lily series of perfume produced by Zhao Niang's company. He looked back and saw Zhu Yin sitting behind him.
"Boss." Zhu Yin saw He Gui turning his head and greeted him with a sweet smile.
"Hmm, why didn't you find a place to play cards?" He Gui asked while playing.
"I don't like playing cards very much, and there's no seat left. Boss, you don't mind if I sit here, right?" Zhu Yin asked after hearing this.
Zhu Yin's voice is a bit special. This refers to his own voice, not a dubbing one.
When He Gui heard this, he shook his head and said, "How is it possible? Such a beautiful woman is sitting in the back."
"But I heard that some people are very taboo about others sitting behind them when playing cards..." Zhu Yin heard this and said.
He Gui played a card and said: "We are just playing, those taboos are gamblers, and the three of them can't beat me much."
"Boss, I'm not polite if you say that...eat." Uncle Da said in a funny way.
He Gui then looked up and saw, "Hey guys, this casual mahjong room is actually full. There are probably six or seven tables. People like to play mahjong here in Hong Kong Island. There are many people."
"Old Wu, I see you don't know how to play mahjong. No wonder you lost money in gambling before." He Gui said half-jokingly.
Uncle Da chuckled: "How is that possible? Eighty thousand."
"Hu cards." Lin Xiaoming smiled and said.
"How dare you hit me with 80,000 yuan? I didn't even hit you." The big-nosed dragon said from the side.
Zhu Yin gave He Gui quite good senses, unlike that Li Xinxin. However, Zhu Yin and Zhou Xingxing had been working together for the rest of their lives, and they had no other interactions, so they would not delay her.
There was not much time in the morning, only more than two hours, and the time passed by playing mahjong very quickly. Seeing that the time was almost up, with half an hour left, He Gui said: "After this game, we will eat.
"
"good."
The reason why He Gui had to reserve half an hour was because he thought that many people would come to the restaurant below to have a meal. Of course, it was just to have a meal. Others came back from Xintian and it was not worth it just for a meal.
As for He Gui in the restaurant, of course he can rest assured. Hong Kong Island has no shortage of chefs and good ingredients.
After the game was over, He Gui looked at the money in his hand and said, "I was lucky today and I won some money. Are you all done?"
"Boss, let's go. I haven't eaten breakfast yet. I'm just waiting for lunch." Director Du stood up after saying this.
"Then let's go. It's time to use the restroom. The elevator can't be used all at once." He Gui said.
When the assistant saw He Gui stand up and leave, he pulled Jia Jingwen and quickly chased after him.
"Boss." Jia Jingwen saw He Gui up close for the first time and quickly nodded in greeting.
"Not bad, your acting is good, do a good job." He Gui nodded. He seemed to have watched a movie. It seemed that he was driving with Fazi while watching a movie starring Fazi. The supporting role was played by Jia Jingwen, and the second female lead played by Fazi.
.
"Thank you for the compliment, boss." Jia Jingwen's heart skipped a beat. Being called the big boss, her resources will be much better in the future.
After Lin Xiaoming broke up, He Gui, Lao Du, Big Nose Dragon, Liu Tianwang, Zheng Yijian, Zhu Yin and the assistant took the first elevator down.
Arriving at the restaurant floor, as soon as He Gui came out, someone came up to say hello: "Boss..."
"Yeah." He Gui stretched out his hand to shake hands with the man. The man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember.
To be continued...
