Big names rise

"Night Shop" will hit theaters across the country on January 1, which is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. The competition in the previous schedule is too fierce. It is difficult for a small film to rush in and get the support of the theaters. There is no good film schedule Movies are also useless. After all, audiences nowadays are more used to what theaters show and what to watch. They believe that movies with more movies in theaters must be good movies. Let alone domestic ones, even in North America, there are big productions from big companies and movies released by small companies. No matter how good the reputation is, it is impossible to have a good film arrangement all at once, unless it arouses greater social repercussions and topical effects.

Therefore, the most sensible way for "Night Shop" is to squeeze in after the Chinese New Year, and take advantage of the two small time slots of Lantern Festival and Valentine's Day to make money. During this period, the momentum of "Red Cliff: Next" will definitely slow down, and "Crazy Racing" will also enter After the second or third week, no matter how crazy it is, it is impossible to be too threatening in the morning.

There are many small films in this schedule, and the only one that has a blockbuster appearance is "You Long Xi Feng" produced by Huayi Brothers and Media Asia Pictures, directed by Liu Weiqiang, starring Andy Lau, Shu Qi, Zhang Hanyu, etc. This film is very popular. It was released on the first day of the new year, and it was only five days away from "Night Shop". He Mu dare not say that he is more appealing than Liu Tianwang, but romance and comedy films have their own audiences. He Mu believes that "Night Shop" will When facing "You Long Xi Feng", he still has the strength to fight, at least there will be no sense of powerlessness when facing "Red Cliff".

And after this village, there will be no such shop. For a happy small finished comedy, if you miss the end of the Lunar New Year file, March, April, and May will not be a good time, and I don’t know if there will be a summer file What a blockbuster.Although a slightly worse schedule can also create a miracle at the box office, it will not be good for "Night Shop" if it is delayed for too long. Now "Night Shop" is doing a good job in publicity.Both He Mu fans and comedy lovers are full of curiosity about this mysterious movie, but how long this curiosity can last is very questionable. After all, this is not a Feng comedy, nor is it Ning Hao's work, nor is it Zhou Xingchi's. A masterpiece of comedy, before the director has formed his own brand and the actors have not yet had great appeal.The audience's interest in it will not last long, so it is necessary to strike while the iron is hot and launch it to the market when the movie is the hottest.

It is less than a month before the release of "Nightclub".The internal division of Tiger Wolf Company has also been basically completed.

Tiger Wolf's film department was established not long ago, and the members of the department are basically new recruits from various companies outside the company. They don't have a high degree of integration with the company's old employees, and they seem to stand on their own.Especially after the overall failure of the movie version of "Stewardess".The film department couldn't hold its head high in the entire Tiger Wolf Company, and the directors of the film department headed by Chen Li even felt abandoned.

They gave up the bright future and stable jobs of the original company and came to Tiger Wolf, a film and television upstart. Although high salaries and generous benefits are very important factors, what is more important is that they are optimistic about the prospects of Tiger Wolf and hope to create from their own hands. It is what any ambitious film practitioners yearn for, but the failure of "Stewardess" shattered their pride and arrogance, and even caused self-doubt.Could it be that they are really a group of stragglers who can't make a difference.

fine.At this time, He Mu supported them and invited them to complete a new work together.In fact, some employees, including Chen Li and Xue Xiangchen, knew that Xiao Fang intended to abolish the film department, and it was He Mu's efforts that allowed this department to survive, so they cherished the opportunity of "Night.club" even more. "Shop" took far more energy than "Stewardess". In their view, "Night Shop" was their chance to walk in Tiger Wolf, and it was probably the only chance.

At this time, Xiao Fang told them that Hulang decided to divide the film department and set up a brand new company, Shuimu Forest, and this new company completely belonged to He Mu and had no affiliation with Hulang. They were all handed over to Shuimu Forest. If there are people who don't want to work here, they can submit their resignation to He Mu.

To be honest, when I first heard the news, many people were indeed shaken. Didn’t they jump to Hulangtu because Hulang is developing rapidly? Mr. Hulang Xiao’s background is very deep, but what happened to this Shuimu Forest, which is independent of Hulang? The thing is, it's just a small film company. It needs strength but no strength, and no connections if it needs it. This makes them feel that their future is worrying.

At this time, Chen Li and Xue Xiangchen stood up to support He Mu and expressed their willingness to follow Mr. He. Although the official contact with He Mu only started from "Night Shop", Chen Li was optimistic about He Mu's courage and ability. Moreover, he could see that although He Mu and Xiao Fang parted ways, they were inseparable from each other. Maybe he still had Xiao Fang's shares in the new company, so Chen Li was willing to take a gamble, even if He Mu lost in the end. It is not difficult to find a good company with several years of experience in the industry, but what if he succeeds?As the saying goes, icing on the cake is easy, but giving charcoal in the snow is difficult!

Chen Li is still very prestigious among this group of people. His decision has affected a large number of people, but it still can't stop some people who want to find another job. But for the new Shuimu Forest, the original personnel I am very nervous, and now every missing one person is a huge test for the release of "Night Club", so He Mu very solemnly and sincerely asked them to stay when facing the panic-stricken twenty-odd employees.

"I know that this change in the company has caused great trouble to everyone. I also know that there is nothing in the current Shuimu Forest. There is no advantage to attract talents to stay. It is human nature for people to go to high places. I don't want to make a fortune, but I want to say that the new company has just been established, and there is still some money. Even if it loses, it will take a while. At least during this time, everyone doesn't need to worry about losing their jobs or wages. Distributed on time. I don’t ask for anything else, I just want to work in Shuimu Forest for another month because of He Mu’s good looks. There are still two weeks before the release of "Night Shop". Everyone has worked hard for this project It took a month, why not wait for the result to come out before deciding whether to stay or not.”

He Mu's words have shaken many people, yes, isn't it just a month, why not wait any longer, He Mu said again, "I hereby promise, no matter whether you leave or stay after one month, no one will leave." They will all get double monthly salary, those who choose to leave will be regarded as break-up expenses, those who choose to stay will be regarded as everyone's bonus, I just hope that everyone will not lose the chain in the next month, I don't want " The release of "Night Club" has been affected."

"Is there anyone still eager to leave here right now?" He Mu confirmed for the last time, "No, okay, let's start working on ourselves, and Director Chen will stay here for a while."

Although Shuimu Forest is now an independent company in a legal sense, the office is still in Hulang. Hulang has rented the entire 11th floor of the office building. The office space is very spacious. One-tenth of the place, before the Shuimu forest has grown, this place is enough, and most importantly, it is very cheap.

"Mr. He, what are your orders?" Chen Li sat opposite He Mu.

"Director Chen, first of all, thank you for standing by my side at this time."

"Mr. He is serious. This is just a decision made according to my heart. Maybe Shuimu Forest is a brand new company for others, full of risks, but for me it is the place where I have been working for more than half a year. However It’s just a change of name. I’ve been playing an important role here before. I’m very familiar with it, and I’m confident that this team can achieve the achievements of those big companies. After all, Mr. Xiao spent a lot of energy in poaching us. Yes, to be honest, Mr. He, you have picked up a ready-made bargain."

He Mu laughed and said, "Of course I know, but Brother Fang doesn't care about the film industry, so I have no choice but to take on this important task. What else do I worry about with talents like you? How about it? Do you have the confidence to manage these unruly talents well?"

Chen Li's joy was not obvious, but he nodded firmly, "Thank you Mr. He for your trust, I will definitely live up to expectations."

In this way, He Mu served as the president of Shuimu Forest, and Chen Li served as the general manager. He Mu had never really been in charge of a company, and Chen Li had no experience in several aspects. He just had rich experience in film promotion and distribution. In the process of learning, it is also in the process of getting to know each other.

He Mu and Chen Li talked about his positioning of Shuimu Forest, that he only makes movies, not actors, because he feels that once a film and television production company also operates a brokerage company, they will be easily restricted when choosing actors, and generally they will Prioritize the artists of our company, rather than suitability as the first consideration, just like Huayi Brothers today, because there are so many artists under their banner, they prefer to use their own people, and thus miss out on many better choices.

"Not being an agent business means that we can expand the selection of actors to all domestic artists, so that we can find the most suitable one." He Mu said to Chen Li.

"Even if Huayi's artist is suitable, would you still use it?" Chen Li asked. He vaguely knew that a big reason why He Mu missed Jackie Chan's new film was that he had a disagreement with Huayi's Wang Zhonglei.

"Of course, I think Baoqiang is an indispensable candidate in many types of films. If necessary, I will definitely choose him, but it's hard to say whether Huayi will let him go." He Mu admits that he is open-minded. He still has them, just because Wang Zhonglei is narrow-minded.

"Fourth, it's almost ready, what else do you want?" Wang Zhongjun said to Wang Zhonglei at the Huayi headquarters.

"Second brother, what do I think? I don't want him to have a hard time. Isn't his "Night.Club" on the sixth day of junior high? I also moved "You Long Xi Feng" to the sixth junior high. Isn't he stubborn? How tough!" Wang Zhonglei said viciously, and he always kept that incident in his heart.
