Chapter 649 Eastern Creative Team
In the midsummer of July, Hong Kong is horribly hot.
22-year-old Wei Jiahui jumped off the minibus and looked at the studio gate in front of him with a slight hesitation. However, he looked at the minibus that had gone away, gritted his teeth and moved forward.
"Hello, what do you want?"
"I made an appointment with Miss Gu Weili!"
After the briefing, he entered this legendary leftist studio for the first time, looked at the main building, and suddenly felt a sense of yearning.
Like many people, Wei Jiahui came from a poor family and worked in a parking lot after graduating from middle school. Hearing that TVB paid well, he took the training course. Naturally, with his appearance, he was not in an acting class, but in a screenwriting class.
I joined TVB in 1981. Whether the treatment was good or not is another matter, but I have already invested in this career. He is talented in writing stories and is highly regarded. Don't look at it. He has already written a script for "The Prodigal Son" starring Huang Rihua and Liang Chaowei.
Gu Weili was ordered to form a creative team, and the first thing she focused on was TVB, the talent base!
The conditions were nothing surprising, such as high salary, opportunity for promotion, and being able to stand alone, but what really tempted Wei Jiahui was Chen Qi himself. Hong Kong film and television does not pay much attention to scripts, but for practitioners who are interested in this, Chen Qi is already a banner.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Ah Hui!"
When Gu Weili saw him arriving, she warmly received him and said with a smile: "There are still a few people who haven't arrived yet. You sit down first and we'll meet them later.
"Where is Mr. Chen?"
"It's next door!"
"next door?!"
Wei Jiahui was still a little nervous, but Gu Weili said: "Mr. Chen is very approachable and speaks nicely. You will know it when you meet him——"
Didi didi!
Didi didi!
As she was talking, a small red lamp on her desk suddenly flashed and made a slight chirp. Gu Weili's face darkened and she walked to a refrigerator. Only then did Wei Jiahui realize that there was a refrigerator in the office?
I saw her taking out a bottle of Coke, the kind with a straw, and went out with high heels, then came back again without changing her expression.
Wei Jiahui didn't dare to speak or ask. Nothing had happened.
After a few minutes, Renren came again.
Wei Jiahui was a little embarrassed because one of them was his colleague named Chen Wenqiang. Chen Wenqiang was a few years older than him and was equally embarrassed.
Pretending not to recognize him.
The other two people, a man and a woman, were unknown.
"OK! Everyone is here, I will take you there!"
Gu Weili led the four of them, walked a few steps to the next door, knocked on the door, and came in. There was a person sitting inside. Wei Jiahui looked at his idol,
He is as young as the rumors say, with good skin and a pretty face, and very lively eyebrows.
There is a weird red button on the table.
"Wei Jiahui, Chen Wenqiang, and TVB screenwriters are all outstanding young people!"
"Ms. Onishi has a job, and writing scripts is a part-time job. Mr. Du Guowei teaches at the University of Hong Kong, and writing scripts is also a hobby.
They liked our movie very much and wanted to participate in it. "
Gu Weili said it very clearly.
The first two can switch jobs and work full-time.
The latter two can take orders.
And Chen Qi raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, Gu Weili can do it, a blind cat has a chance of killing a mouse, all are talents.
Du Guowei, the representative works of "Daoma Dan", "I Have a Date with Spring" and "Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea"!
Anxi, the representative works "Sweet Honey" and "Man Forty"!
Chen Wenqiang, the representative works of "Temple Street Queen", "Women at Forty" and "Kung Fu"!
Needless to say, Wai Ka-fai can even be called the most creatively talented guy in Hong Kong. Later, he formed Galaxy Image with Johnnie To and has countless classics. "Rogue Tycoon", "Big Time", "Two Only Live", "The Birth of a Prefix", "Dark Flower", "Goodbye Alang"
etc.
Chen Qi first chatted with the two part-time workers and sent them off politely.
Then he faced two job hoppers.
"Why do you want to come here?"
Chen Wenqiang glanced at Wei Jiahui and said first: "It's very simple. Which script writer in Hong Kong doesn't admire Mr. Chen? I want to follow you."
Wei Jiahui didn't say anything. He paused and said, "I'm promised a good salary, generous bonuses, and a house. It's much better than working at TVB."
"ha!"
Chen Qi laughed and asked, "Do you usually read novels or watch movies?"
"Look!"
"What's the frequency? How many movies can I watch in a month?"
"This is unstable and difficult to talk about."
"Watch more. Don't be afraid to borrow inspiration from others when creating. As the number of film viewings increases, the story structure of all movies will be imprinted in your mind. You can use it in the future. Then it will be your own thing.
I started this screenwriting group because I was busy with work and had a lot of inspiration and no time to write. I will give you an outline, you will fill in the content, submit it to me for review, and if it passes, your name will be signed.
In addition, you can also create your own creations, and if you pass, I will submit them for shooting. It doesn’t matter if you accept external work. I am very free here, but you must first complete the tasks assigned by me.
If you can accept it, then sign the contract. "
...
Wei Jiahui seemed to pause for two seconds and asked: "Mr. Chen, can I ask you something?"
"sure!"
"Do you think Hong Kong's habit of not focusing on scripts will change?"
"Ha! I offered 150,000 Hong Kong dollars, but no one was willing to give it up. Do you know how much Hollywood gave me? 200,000 US dollars! More than 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars, which is enough to make a movie. This is determined by the market."
"Then the story of Hong Kong will always be bad?" Wei Jiahui asked.
Yo! Still an ambitious young man.
Chen Qi smiled and said: "Hong Kong films have their own things that they are good at, such as gangsters, cops and robbers, wetness, ghosts, ordinary people, etc. They are familiar with it and have an audience. But you let them play with multi-linear narratives and historical narratives Or science fiction, that is difficult to do.
Therefore, paying attention to the script is something that individuals can do, but not as a whole. Of course, if I unified Hong Kong films, only my family would have the final say.
It’s not impossible. "
!
Wei Jiahui trembled, this was not something he dared to think about, but he did not hesitate now and said: "Mr. Chen, I am willing to join!"
"I am willing too!" Chen Wenqiang has been waiting for a long time.
"Okay! There are only the two of you in the team at the moment, and we will recruit people one after another in the future. You can be regarded as the master and the apprentice. We will start work after completing the formalities. There will be a job for you!"
After a few people left, Chen Qi continued his own business.
I wrote and revised it on the paper, and hummed: "Beyond the dream, let's fly together, you and I need to face it sincerely, let life, let life - what is it?"
He didn't remember many of the words accurately, so he had to make up for it himself. That's the meaning anyway. After humming it several times, I felt that it was a complete Olympic inspirational song. I nodded with satisfaction and clicked the red button.
"Da da da!"
High heels burst in, and a bottle of Coke slammed on the table.
"Please! You want to drink Coke and put it in your own refrigerator, but you want to put it in my place and make a broken button. Isn't it great for you?" Gu Weili became familiar with him and dared to talk.
"Yeah, it's really cool."
"Hmph! When Jiang Zhiqiang comes back from Japan, I will let him deliver it!"
Gu Weili turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped again with the same nonsense sentence that she didn't understand: "Please remember, I will make the following arrangements!"
Sometimes she really felt that Mr. Chen was crazy, but she had to do it, so she took a pen and paper and waited.
"On July 28, the Los Angeles Olympic Games opened. Think back to 52 years ago, when old China participated in the Olympic Games for the first time in Los Angeles. Liu Changchun attended the meeting alone, thousands of miles away, and he was booed!
Today, 225 of our athletes will go out to compete, and they will surely win the gold medal and win China's first Olympic gold medal. The result of the previous invitation was not very satisfactory, so I invite you again————.”
A series of names came out of his mouth. Gu Weili became more and more shocked as he wrote, and finally couldn't help but look up at him.
The boss didn’t take it seriously: “Make the cards beautiful, give each person one copy, and send them out!”
