Chen Shi asked again: "Then how about the pay for these actors?"
"The third-tier celebrities never owe their wages to us. They get bonuses every three and five, and they organize trips... Although the company is not well-known, it is a bit good, but it is not bad!"
Chen Shi was a little envious when he heard it, and he continued to ask, "Who is Mr. Lu's current girlfriend?"
"Single!"
"How long have you been alone?"
The human resources supervisor recalled: "It seems that I just broke off with his last girlfriend in November. It's been almost three months."
"thank you."
Chen Shi called to plan again. He was familiar with the actors, and everyone was able to name them. Chen Shi asked straightforwardly, "Who is Mr. Lu's current girlfriend, or who is the person he is pursuing?"
"Cheng Yan."
"Is she also a heroine?"
"Uh, the film she participated in is still being edited. I feel that Mr. Lu is taking this film very seriously. It is a major production... Compared to before."
"Any picture of her?"
Planning to find one from the computer, Xu Xiaodong said: "I feel that Mr. Lu has the same aesthetics, but this girl is obviously better-looking and younger."
The planner said: "In order to chase her, Mr. Lu spent a lot of money, and once bought 9,999 roses on the set."
Chen Shi asked, "Why didn't this girl agree?"
"Uh, according to rumors, she doesn't like men, maybe she just refuses Mr. Lu's rhetoric."
"By the way, what is the name of this new film?"
""Supreme Invincible Dongpo Meat"."
"What are you talking about?"
"I didn't read the script very much, you can ask the screenwriter."
Chen Shi called the lead writer over again and asked him: "Are you a screenwriter? You wrote this script?"
The screenwriter said: "No, no, in fact, every film is written, directed and acted by Mr. Lu. He is the lead writer. We just help polish it. I know it’s not good to say bad things about dead people. The hole is big, but there is no ink in my belly. I often come up with an idea by tapping my forehead and have a creative meeting or write it by myself. The first draft is just like a dog shit. We try to smooth it out and make it look better. "
"What's this film about?"
"It's about the story of Chinese delicacy becoming human and then teaming up to defeat foreign fast food. The protagonist is Dongpo Meat, the heroine is Yangchun noodles, and the villain is a hamburger."
"Interesting, show me a script."
"However, this copyright is still..."
"Don't worry, we are just to solve the case and we will destroy it after watching it. By the way, we will also give us a copy of the unedited film."
The screenwriter went to print a script and copied a copy of the film from the editor. Chen Shi flipped through the list of creators on the title page of the script, and recorded the contact information of everyone from the screenwriter.
Feeling that there is nothing to ask, Chen Shi intends to say goodbye. The person in charge asked: "Comrade police, can you communicate with Mr. Lu's father to let this company continue to operate?"
"Yes, yeah, you have a lot of face, just say it!" Everyone looked at Chen Shi with expectant eyes.
Chen Shi knew the truth was cruel, but he still had to tell them. He said, "You also know that this company exists to make fun of Mr. Lu. It can't make money at all. Lu Qixing is a businessman. He won't let this company If the company continues to exist, it is a serious matter to find another way out sooner."
"But we are a team, have experience in film and television production, and have accumulated a lot of contacts and resources, so we just gave up?" The person in charge is still not reconciled.
"With all due respect, the movie is something that everyone can shoot these days, but it is also a commodity and has to be sold."
It was originally pouring cold water, but I did not expect it to inspire some people. The plan said: "As long as we sell these films, the company will have hope."
The screenwriter said: "Yes, we can write more themes that cater to the masses, be more funny and sensational, and shoot some more relaxed and beautiful things."
"Just don't take the severance money, and keep it as the start-up funds for the next movie."
"What are you taking?"
"I think today's matter can be adapted, and it's called "The Boss Is Lost"."
"Haha, interesting, you can try it!"
Everyone, you have found the spark of hope again, intending to save the sunken ship without the captain, Chen Shi just shook his head and smiled bitterly at the blind optimism of everyone, but this is their business, and he is inconvenient to put his beak.
When the atmosphere in the office was buoyant, a long-haired male editor stood up from the workstation, threw the canvas bag on his back, and said coldly: "Recognize the reality early. This company is just a giant. You have stayed here for a few years, but you haven’t learned any experience. It’s still a waste to go outside. I won’t play with you, I want my severance money!"
Someone said: "Zhuoxuan, how do you talk, usually Lu always treats you not badly!"
The editor replied coldly: "He is dead, and there is no point in escaping from reality, you guys can do it yourself!"
Chen Shi said goodbye, and Xu Xiaodong went outside to find a movie cafe, and said, "Let’s appreciate Mr. Lu’s posthumous work!"
Xu Xiaodong smiled awkwardly, "Okay, look forward to it."
No special effects, no dubbing, just a rough cut of the film, it looks particularly uncomfortable, I can't bear it when I see one third of Chen Shi, I press pause, rubbing my temples and saying, "No, my brain hurts. You. Did you find anything?"
"The same soul acting skills, but it can be seen that the male lead is interesting to the female lead, and several emotional scenes are very engaged."
"The girl is a bit stiff, as if she is reluctant to cooperate."
"Yes!"
"I'll go out and breathe."
"Brother Chen, bring me a Coke."
Chen Shi came outside and heard someone arguing. One of the two parties was an editor who had just met in the company, and the other was the boss of a movie cafe. The boss said, "Handsome, these films you want to watch are too unpopular. Where is the city? There are no other movie cafes either. You can pick a few new ones to watch!"
"You return the money to me!"
"There are no refunds in this store. Would you like to see Huang Bo's new film?"
"I don't watch that kind of stuff. When I came in, I said there were all kinds of movies. Isn't this a scam? Give me the money back!"
"No, those movies you want to watch, go to the street to find out, what Mario Danba, who has heard of it?"
"It's Mario Bava!" The editor corrected angrily, "Return the money to me."
The two parties were in a dispute, and Chen Shi walked over and said to the owner of the movie cafe: "There is no movie that the customer wants to watch. If the money is refunded, the business is not righteous."
The boss pointed to the wall, "It is clearly written here, no credits, no refunds!"
"According to you, what is written on the wall? You have no legal effect, you still have to refund the money when the Public Security Bureau comes."
"Call the Public Security Bureau for fifty yuan? I take it!" The boss took out the money and refunded it to the young man.
Chen Shi patted the editor on the shoulder and said, "How come here to relax?"
"I am depressed. The SBs in the company are still discussing what film they want to shoot, and they are not willing to face the reality."
"It is good for young people to have dreams, even if their dreams will be shattered."
The editor sneered, "Dream is a luxury, they don't understand this reason, President Lu can afford it, they can't afford it!"
The editor looked less than 30 years old, but he was very sophisticated in speaking. Chen Shi became interested in him and said, "Brother, would you like a drink?"
