Movie tycoon

Chapter 390 Performing Arts Not Selling Your Body (Part [-])

Baoyazai seems to be very confident in his ability to persuade people. He feels that he is very wise at the moment. If he has another goose feather fan, he will become Zhuge Liang.

"How about it? Have you thought about it? Don't say I didn't remind you, here is warm in winter and cool in summer, the air is fresh, and most importantly - through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, you can enjoy the unexpected beauty of spring at night ..." There was something in the words.

As soon as he heard "Spring ~ Light", the fat man who was very sensitive to it interjected, "How do you say that?"

"Haha, follow me!" Baoyazai pointed to the building in front of him, and said, "Can you see the windows in front?"

"I see!"

"It's a club contracted by rich people. Whenever the night falls on the weekend, there will be singing and dancing, drinking pools and meat forests, drunken and dreamy, desolate ~ obscene ~ shameless..."

The fat man's saliva flowed down, and he didn't need to talk about it, he already understood what it means to be "spring~light", "voyeurism without guilt", "don't look for nothing, don't look for nothing, look for nothing"...
He swallowed hard.The fat man turned around, and said righteously to Chen Xiaotang: "Ah Tang, I have decided to rent this place. We must hold high the great banner of morality and ethics, and vigorously criticize this decadent life of capitalism—persuade them to rent this place sooner." Correct the evil, return to the good, abandon the evil, promote the good, and rescue all sentient beings who have gone astray...the courage to rescue the young girl who has lost her footsteps...alas, the responsibility is heavy!"

Chen Xiaotang fainted, and looked down on the fat man——
Looking back at the proud buck-tooth boy, "You explained very well, haven't you asked your name yet?"

Gu Yazi punched: "It's easy to say, my surname is Li, Li Lichi!"

Ding dong!It really is this birdman!

Chen Xiaotang was overjoyed.

Speaking of Li Lichi, he can be regarded as a "geek". He looks like a father who doesn't love his mother or loves him, but his stomach is full, but it is a very good comedy scene. It refers to the comedy film "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" co-produced by him and Zhou Xingchi , "The King of Comedy", "Shaolin Soccer", "God of Cookery", etc., almost all of them hit the box office.

In addition, HK movies have always had the habit of directors interspersing. As the best director of Xingye's movies, it is nothing new for Li Lichi to play tricks in his own and Xingye's movies.

Li not only has a lot of achievements in directing comedies, but also has a good way of acting in comedies. Look at this gentleman with separate heads and glasses, a deer-headed mouse-eyed, and a traitor.The roles played are varied.

What Chen Xiaotang remembers most is that this gentleman played the role of "iron legs floating on the water" in "Domestic Zero Paint"-the one who was about to be shot.

"Thirty years of practice have finally come in handy. How can it be so simple to kill my iron legs floating on the water?" With a snort, he flew up, striding in the air, and it was amazing.Then a rocket launcher went down, and the death was vigorous!
Withdrawing his mind, Chen Xiaotang had already made up his mind.He smiled and said to Li Lichi: "I am going to rent this office building..."

Li Lichi was overjoyed, picked, and got the commission!

"It's still this gentleman who is insightful and of a good standard, and knows that such a treasured place of geomantic omen is rare but hard to come by..."

"On rent, though—"

"The rent is already very solid, 200 million a year, it can't be less..." Li Lichi said hastily.

Chen Xiaotang smiled: "I mean, I paid 230 million——"

"What? 230 million?!!" Li Lichi was dumbfounded, "The extra 30..."

"The extra 30 is for you..." Chen Xiaotang said with a smile.

"No way, is there such a good thing?" Li Lichi was shocked.

"Of course it's true, don't you want to?" Chen Xiaotang looked at him ambiguously.The eyes are lewd and slutty, very scary——
He rented the building and gave me money?Could it be that...he is a glass and wants to keep me? !
Li Lichi felt cold all over.Pick, it's really heavy taste, even I like it!No wonder rich people are weird!I lost your mother!I sell the house but not the body! ! ! !

So Li Lichi sneered: "I'm sorry, sir, when you look at me, you will understand that I am the type of loyal minister, good general, chaste and strong woman-although I am greedy for money, it is not that I am hungry and have no morals, and I will do anything for money. Willing to do it... So, feed your mother three grams of medicine, thank you for your kindness!"

Chen Xiaotang: "No, you have misunderstood me. The reason why I am willing to buy you with 30 yuan is because you are worth the price?"

This time, before Li Lichi could speak, the fat man next to him couldn't help it: "No, Ah Tang, I don't think this guy is worth the price anyway? Even if it is converted into pork, it will cost more than 1000 yuan at most. Give it to him." 30, that won't kill him!"

"Hey, fat man, I respect that you are also a scholar and a well-known director in HK. Don't insult me. After all, we are also like-minded..."

"Who is with you? Which onion are you?"

"Don't tell me you don't know, I just applied to ATV to be an assistant choreographer, maybe we will meet again in the future..."

"Are you a choreographer? Did you make a mistake?!—Hey, aren't you a real estate agent?"

"Intermediary is my profession, and directing is my hobby! Why not?"

……

Seeing that the two were still bickering, Chen Xiaotang hastily interrupted them and said, "That's the reason——Li Lichi, I'm very optimistic about your ability as a screenwriter. It just so happens that our entertainment company is about to open, so we want to offer you 30 yuan to hire you. How do you feel?"

Li Lichi: "..."

"No, although I'm conceited that I'm talented and have great plots, but I haven't shown my screenwriting ability yet, how do you know I'm OK?"

Chen Xiaotang scratched his eyebrows with his fingertips, "You're right, you can't assume that you must be a great talent just because you have a strange face, a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a thunderous appearance! Then the annual salary of 30 yuan will be reduced by half, how about 15 yuan?" ?”

I pick!Li Lichi almost fainted.

Why would the 30 be cut in half when I talk too much! ! !
This guy, isn't it serious?
At this moment, Li Lichi realized that Chen Xiaotang didn't seem to be joking. He really planned to hire him, grandma's~Xiong. This was much better than going to ATV as the main screenwriter.

After figuring out the situation, Li Lichi coughed hastily: "Being a man must be trustworthy! You can't be capricious and confused. Whatever you say is what you say, this is what a man does! 30, it's a deal!!!"

"Hey, didn't you just say that you haven't shown your talent yet, so it's not worth the price?"

"I didn't say anything, it's your wild guess——Actually, I'm definitely worth the price! When I was in college, I worked as a screenwriter, acted in a play, and won awards, and was praised by the ghost principal! Don't talk about you I don’t know, I’m definitely a good young man with a shabby appearance and a golden jade. In addition, Mr. Chen also said just now that I have a strange appearance. This is capital. Who doesn’t know that Mao Sui himself is extremely ugly, Who doesn't know that the old naughty boy Zhou Botong is not a handsome guy, there is also the pockmarked Cao Cao, the short Napoleon... anyone who looks reserved, basically has great talent!"

After hearing Li Lichi's bragging, the fat man couldn't help shouting that there have been people in the bragging circle since then.

Chen Xiaotang had no choice but to admire this guy's thick-skinned skills, and really complied with that sentence --- there is no thickest, only thicker!

"Okay, I understand what you said so much--30 is 30, the annual salary is the same, but from now on you must write at least ten scripts for me within a year..."

"No problem, boss, don't talk about ten scripts, I can get thirty scripts!"

"Well, that's good, then thirty!"

"...??!!"

Li Lichi really wanted to give himself two bad mouths, why so many mouths!

Seeing Li Lichi's embarrassment, Chen Xiaotang really felt it was funny, "Since everything has been finalized, Fatty, wait until you make a contract, sign a formal contract with this talented Mr. Li Lichi, and hire him as our The company's first official screenwriter! From now on, you will be responsible for his affairs!"

The fat man looked at Li Lichi, ready to fight.

Skinny monkey, since it fell into my hands, you will suffer from it in the future!
Li Lichi looked at the grinning fat man in front of him, and suddenly felt that building a good interpersonal relationship is the most important thing right now——
30 yuan to hire Li Lichi for one year. In the eyes of many people, this price is too high.After all, Li Lichi is not well-known at all, and he doesn't have any mature works as a screenwriter.

But in Chen Xiaotang's view, it's not a loss at all for him to pay 30. In the future, this guy will bring him 300 million, 3000 million, or even [-] million...

Talent is the best investment!

Because you never know when this treasure will dry up and when it will erupt.Even when it erupts, all that is ejected is gold! ! !
.....................

After solving the problem of company location, the most critical thing is how to name the company.Originally, Chen Xiaotang wanted to choose a casual name and it was OK.Fatty and the newly joined Li Lichi firmly disagreed.
After all, they are the first out-and-out Hong Kong people, and they believe that the name of a company determines the future fortune of the company.If you don't have a good name, then the company's wealth will be lacking. For this reason, Fatty and Li Lichi racked their brains to choose a good name for this company that will show great promise in the future.

First, the fat man said, "How about calling it Genesis Entertainment? It's cool enough, isn't it?"

Li Lichi shook his head: "Which Genesis is not Genesis? If you know, we are running an entertainment company. If you don't know, you think we are running a church and promoting the Bible!"

"Choose, what's your name?" the fat man refused.

Li Lichi pretended to be smart and stroked his pointed chin: "Why don't we call it Platinum Dragon Entertainment Company?"

"Platinum Dragon? Wahaha, it's so sloppy! It might as well be called a dinosaur!"

"Fatty, don't make trouble for no reason, I mean something - needless to say, platinum is more valuable than gold, and it's extremely rare; we are the descendants of the dragon, the word "dragon" is powerful enough, and the combination of 'platinum dragon' is of a high standard." !"

"That's it, what's the standard? I really doubt that it's a big loss to hire you as a screenwriter for 30 yuan!"

.........

Just when the two were biting the dog, they found that Chen Xiaotang was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back, looking down.

This gesture is deep enough, worthy of being a boss!Li Lizhi praised it.

Pick, what kind of plane!This Tang Zai is acting again!The fat man let out a sneer.

Look at the rootless floating clouds above the high-rise buildings, and then look at the busy people coming and going under the buildings.

Chen Xiaotang suddenly had a feeling of watching the situation with a smile.

The world of mortals is rolling;
All living beings, one after another!
Who can dominate everything?
God, Buddha, demon? ! !
Who can build their own entertainment empire? !

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaotang said, "How about calling it Moying Entertainment?"

"Magic Shadow Entertainment?"

"Well, in all kinds of changes, only the devil is supreme; in the phantom world, I am the only one. We want to create a film company with magic power, so we named it——Moying!" Chen Xiaotang said sonorously and forcefully.

After listening to Chen Xiaotang's explanation, the fat man Wang Jing felt that the name seemed "too evil", and the skinny monkey Li Lichi thought it was "too domineering".But they have to admit - Moying Entertainment sounds really cool and cool.

At that moment, no one knew that in the future, this evil name would resound throughout the world.

Shadow the world, dance around the world!
Now that we have a company and a name, all that remains is to recruit people and flex our muscles.

Both Chen Xiaotang and Fatty Wang Jing are busy people, not to mention that they are the top leadership of this company in name, a chairman, a general manager—although they are both polished commanders—no, to be precise, there is a soldier , is the buck-toothed boy Li Lichi in front of him.

No matter what, the identity is here, and such trivial matters must of course be handed over to his subordinates.

Chen Xiaotang said to Li Lichi: "Now it depends on your ability. Whether everyone can eat delicious food and spicy food together, drink a big bowl of wine and eat meat in a big bowl, it depends on what you do in the next round..."

Li Lichi: "...??!!" Why does it sound like bandits are negotiating a deal? !

"In short, no matter what method you use, recruit all possible talents. For example, screenwriters, photographers, directors, and even editing, scene notes, etc. Our slogan is, do what you do and love what you do. Let’s be strong together! Those who can be settled with money, we should spend money on it; those who can be influenced by sincerity, we should show our sincerity;

"Boss, ahem..." Li Lichi suddenly said shyly, "I'm a showman, not a person!"

Fatty Chen Xiaotang looked at each other.

"Choose, if you want to sell it, someone has to take it!"

"In short, for the company, you have to dedicate everything! You are a brick of the company, and you can move wherever it is needed! In the future, when Fatty and I retire, you will be the boss here. Think about it, thousands of employees will listen How arrogant you are to command alone!"

Li Lichi's eyes lit up.

But immediately he realized that these two guys might not retire until the Year of the Monkey——
But it's great to have a goal! ! !
