My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 928 Who said blocking is worse than guiding? The flood is almost here!
In fact, the benefits should be distributed among the key creative personnel of the film company.

What Wei Dong values ​​more are the experts in directing, screenwriting, cinematography, and even costume, props, voice acting, and music.

He's already made several movies, so he's considered to have entered the industry.

It was mostly Brother Fa and Wang Xin who organized the gatherings and gathered people together.

In Hong Kong, it's very convenient to find any kind of manpower.

Just like the mainland manufacturing industry that was later promoted in short videos, you can find suppliers immediately for whatever you want to do, with low prices, high quality, and complete supporting facilities.

For example, if Wei Dong were asked to hum the tune that played when the God of Gamblers appeared, someone on Wang Xin's side could immediately create the entire tune, and it was almost exactly the same.

Considering the decline of Hong Kong films over the following decades, Wei Dong felt that everything had come together in the right time, place, and people to get to this point.

It was the large number of literary and artistic elites who migrated from the mainland, especially Shanghai and eastern Guangdong, to Hong Kong that nurtured the flourishing of diverse talents here over the past two or three decades.

Local children, including Chow Yun-fat, Stephen Chow, and Leung Chun-wai, also grew up in the cinematic atmosphere of the 1960s and 70s.

The addition of a large number of fresh talents from the mainland, such as Ah Ling, Zhang Min, and Lina, along with the influence of the cultural atmosphere on the right bank, further contributed to this.

The last open economy was able to send a large number of talented people to study in Europe and America.

That's what led to the golden age of Hong Kong films in the years that followed.

That was the only group like that; there will never be another like it.

It cannot be copied again.

Therefore, following Wei Dong's line of thinking, the natural thing is how to make it useful to the mainland.

But how do I use the beauty right in front of me?

Zhang Min, speaking with a Shanghai accent, said: "I never said I wanted to act with Stephen Chow, I've never even met him, and I couldn't understand that movie 'Descendants of the Dragon'. Eighth Master said he wanted to promote me, but I don't know what happened behind the scenes. But now that something's happened, they're blaming everything on me?"

She gently raised her chin, her cool and stubborn demeanor tinged with a pitiful vulnerability.

Her features aren't actually that perfect; her face shape is even a bit square.

But compared to the cookie-cutter faces of later internet celebrities, the female Hong Kong stars of this era were beautiful in their own unique ways, truly breathtaking.

Another man might actually like this kind of beauty too.

Perhaps if Wei Dong had seen such a stunning beauty a few years ago, he would still remember her fondly.

I feel nothing at all now.

They especially keep their distance from the stubbornness of young women in their early twenties.

Looking into the distance, even Qin Yuye seemed to have "unintentionally" walked past the office area and was gazing at the conference room.

Choosing to cut to the chase: "You have the ability and ambition, and you're willing to leave. You're also willing to act. They do have good judgment. You should be able to produce good results acting with Stephen Chow. But Stephen Chow's last two films have already been cast and it's impossible to replace him. Let's put them on the back of the schedule. During this period, you can learn from them and see if they can arrange other films. Ultimately, it depends on the script."

As she spoke, she pointed to the scene outside where a group of directors and screenwriters were gathered together, working enthusiastically: "Being beautiful and having good acting skills is a gift from God. I only respect talented and capable people here. The matter of Xin'an trying to shoot me will not end so easily. Those who want my head, none of them will escape!"

The intention was just to scare the kids; don't think that just because you've followed a gang leader, you can use your looks to climb the ranks.

After saying that, he got up, opened the door, and went out.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Min behind him said, "I still haven't submitted to Eighth Master. The script the company gave me is designed to force me to submit by filming a bed scene. You can ask the people outside!"

This was unexpected for Wei Dong.

However, he didn't stop looking back: "Keeping oneself clean is almost a joke in the entertainment industry, but I hope it can become a virtue in my territory."

They really flocked to the ranks of directors and screenwriters after they came out.

But I'm definitely not here to ask about sex scenes; listening to the script's structure is the real purpose.

In reality, this left Wei Dong completely unaware of the true trends in Hong Kong films.

He couldn't say he was particularly passionate about movies in his past life, but his experience in the 80s and 90s, when Hong Kong films were all the rage, left him with a deep impression of the most famous action and comedy films.

He knows almost nothing about other dramas or art films, and he knows even less about horror films, which he doesn't like.

However, the boss's advantage is that he has money.

It has a high margin of error and a safety net.

Wang Xin mainly directs comedies, but some people have taken on action films, and others have suggested making art films.

He nodded in agreement: "As long as the budget is not exceeded, this type of urban film can be made to see the market. I would like to suggest that it should not be borderline or offensive. Considering that mainland audiences can also watch it, the market is so large that it can have an impact on hundreds of millions of viewers. Wouldn't that make the film more meaningful?"

Wang Xin just chuckled when he heard this. He was all about commercialization and always wanted to make money. He would stop at nothing to do that.

Most of the others, still harboring dreams of filmmaking, cheered with considerable surprise.

I'd be happy to make a movie for hundreds of millions of people, even if it doesn't make me any money!

In the midst of conversation, they settled on two films with a budget of five to six million Hong Kong dollars.

The boss then walked away with his arm around Wang Xin's shoulder.

The director also knew to show his loyalty: "Everyone knows about Wing On's background. They asked me to invite Stephen Chow to join them, but I told them that I'm just a director and these kinds of film contracts have nothing to do with me."

In fact, before he was invited by Chow Yung to film "God of Gamblers", he was a director at Wing On.

Originally, I was just temporarily coming to organize the event, as everyone else was still working on their projects. But then Stephen Chow's movies came one after another, and I never stopped working on them.

In a sense, Xin'an may have felt that since they had poached their director, they were now brazenly trying to steal the lead actor.

Unexpectedly, they hit a brick wall. Wei Dong was told to mainly hand over the behind-the-scenes work to him: "Although Hong Kong filmmakers are loosely organized, I still hope to bring everyone together through share dividends, to make both blockbuster action and comedy films, as well as some good films with depth and meaning. You take charge of the overall situation, and I will be responsible for competing for the mainland market."

This is the status of the creative director of the entire film company.

Young directors in their thirties definitely still want to make a name for themselves.

Especially with such a beautiful woman before him, Wei Dong felt that Wang Xin was puffing out his chest and sucking in his stomach, and when he looked up, he saw his wife standing in front of him with Yao Shuzhen.

Almost laughed out loud.

Qin Yuye wore a sparkly white dress with a wide neckline, which accentuated her boss-lady aura.

He crossed his arms and asked sarcastically, "How did the talks go?"

It certainly wasn't a question between men, so he suppressed a laugh and let Wei Dong let go of his wife's hand to pinch her cheek.

"That's good. She said the company arranged some very explicit sex scenes for her, and she doesn't want to film them. As the boss's wife, why don't you go and win her over?"

Qin Yuye, who had grown up with his older brother who owned a film company, indeed revealed a mocking smile.

Yao Shuzhen almost did, then subconsciously squeezed behind the proprietress: "Do we really have to take this kind of picture?"

Wang Xin quickly waved his hand and explained, "Aside from those who are willing to dedicate themselves to art in order to become famous, some disobedient female artists are forced by their companies to film explicit sex scenes to squeeze them out. Sarah is probably just being stubborn. Our company would never do that!"

This made Wei Dong burst into laughter immediately.

It wasn't that Fatty Wang was flattering the company for being so innocent, but rather that the two people standing here both became famous because of Category III films.

Unexpectedly, Yao Shuzhen snorted twice and continued to peek out from behind the proprietress with disdain: "If it weren't for Barbara backing you up, you would also think this is the best way, right?!"

Wei Dong watched as Wang Xin became so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his chubby hands, perfectly illustrating the strategic situation of who was the sycophant and who had no status.

He quickly reached out and pulled his wife away.

Qin Yuye wanted to see more gossip, but Yao Shuzhen followed him over.

Wei Dong had no choice but to use his boss-like authority: "Shouldn't you be communicating properly with the director about filming?"

Then, with an arrogant air, he went to the director.

Qin Yuye glanced at him, sighed, and shook his head: "What director is more attractive than a boss? I don't care about you, lest you think I'm being unreasonable."

Wei Dong was puzzled: "You used to swear to me that you hated this kind of situation, but now you've become too ruthless, haven't you?"

Qin Yuye felt really unsure: "Because I also rose to power by virtue of my beauty and stole my second sister's happiness."

Wei Dong finally understood the complex scheming between the man and woman: "Oh, so you're warning me not to make mistakes because of beauty again? You've really gone to great lengths to cover this up. The fault still lies with me, right?"

The proprietress quickly hugged the boss's waist tighter: "I...I...it's my fault. I seduced you because if I didn't make a move, there would really be no chance in this lifetime. Now look..."

Seriously, no wonder the super-rich and gangsters love to set up film companies and acquire TV stations here; there are beautiful women everywhere.

Now, the boss and his wife openly hug and cuddle as they walk through the office, and the employees crane their necks to watch with delight.

A happy family is essential for a company's long-term success.

But the beauties quickly stood aside with forced smiles, ready to be inspected.

Whether it's winning the boss's favor or winning the boss's wife's heart.

Anyway.

It's absolutely breathtaking.

Moreover, this is a collection of exceptional beauties selected from countless beauty pageants and acting training programs.

Even someone like Zhang Min didn't have a chance to make a name for himself at ATV a couple of years ago!
Those beauties in nightclubs and workplaces can't even begin to grasp this level.

Wei Dong quickly realized this.

Qin Yuye originally planned for the couple to have a romantic Western meal.

As a result, the administrative director came running to report: "Miss Shen called to say that there is a problem over there. She encountered resistance and sabotage at the nightclub and billiard hall, and asked what Mr. Shen can do."

This made Wei Dong laugh.

Shen Cuiyue was already quite disappointed with the martial arts world and was preparing to let Wei Dong return to the mainland this time, perhaps even settling down in Jiangzhou.

As a result, after acquiring Xin'an's Jianghu (江湖, a term referring to the world of martial arts and outlaws) businesses, he immediately became eager to take over.

Let Wei Dong also have the mentality of spoiling his child. Fine, fine, if you're so good, then you do it.

Of course, many people are just waiting to see the joke.

So when the meeting was held here to discuss the merger of film companies, Jianghu Girl led a group of people to clean up the mess.

Now you know how treacherous society can be.

They were all teasing as they prepared to go see Shen Laosan.

But then I caught a glimpse of Zou Huimin holding a folder, her eyes full of anticipation, and she was even standing on tiptoe.

He really spoke without thinking: "Oh, you like playing pool, right? Why don't you show off your skills..."

The executive director's beautiful eyes lit up with surprise.

His wife's hands were so uncontrollable that she started pulling on his ears!
You still say you weren't interested!
She herself didn't know whether to hold on or let go.
