When Chen Qing spoke to Simon, it was already noon on Tuesday, October 28, in China.
I ended the video call with my boss and it was noon.
Chen Qing left the library in Keyuan and returned to the inner house on the west side. Ren Jingxi arrived just in time and was taken to the restaurant by Jiang Shanwu, looking obviously uneasy.
The two sat down together, and Chen Qingcai said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not here, I'm all going to the Chinese Opera class."
Ren Jingxi's expression was obviously relaxed, and he couldn't help but ask: "Wuling... also has to go to class?"
"Yes, she is attending some screenwriting courses," Chen Qing said with a teasing tone, "She plans to be a strong woman like you."
Ren Jingxi was a little embarrassed.
If she had Mo Wuling's family background, how could she want to be a strong woman, stay in the university to teach, continue her hobbies and occasionally write articles, find a good man, get married, have children, and be happy and stable? A future that has been considered for several years.
Now, of course, I don’t have any regrets. It’s just that everyone has some regrets in their hearts for the lost ideal.
Changing the topic slightly, Ren Jingxi added: "Down below, I just came here, it's really big."
Chen Qing smiled and nodded: "Yes."
Ren Jingxi felt that Chen Qing's smile was a bit evil and didn't dare to say more.
Chen Qing took the initiative and asked: "How was your trip to Taiwan a few days ago?"
"It's okay. I took a look at their film and television industry."
"Um?"
"Television is okay, and there are a lot of things we can learn from. In terms of movies, it has been completely taken over by Hollywood. I don't quite understand why Taiwan doesn't impose restrictions on it."
Chen Qing smiled and said: "It's traditional."
"What?"
"The idea came from seeing the New Taiwan Dollar proactively abandoning its defense last week," Chen Qing said: "Once our army withdraws thousands of miles, the enemy will not be able to catch up."
Of course Ren Jingxi knew this joke and started laughing.
During the conversation between Jiang Shanwu and the other two, they talked about lunch. Ren Jingxi asked for the same portion as Chen Qing, then took out a document from the bag he carried and handed it to Chen Qing: "I have read the materials. Well, frankly speaking, it’s a bit messy.”
Chen Qing took the bound A4 paper booklet in front of her and opened it. After flipping through it for a while, she could see the annotations made in red Juanxiu font on it.
This is a budget plan sent to Chen Qing by the "Dragon Movie" team yesterday.
Chen Qing didn't have time to read it. Thinking of a certain female producer who had made people angry during the production of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", she directly sent it to Ren Jingxi and asked her to help review it.
After briefly flipping through it, Chen Qing began to read it carefully from the beginning and asked: "What is the specific problem?"
"It's all a problem. The venue rent, props and actors' remuneration are all very high," Ren Jingxi said. Seeing Chen Qing looking at him slightly strangely, he knew what she was thinking of. He was a little embarrassed, but he still explained. Said: "Even if it is not by my standards, it is obviously too high. In terms of venue rental or props, it may be reasonable. I know this is a special project that Simon has given a large budget to produce, but in terms of actors, especially They are some Hong Kong and Taiwan actors. One of them is a supporting actor. He is filming a TV series in Hong Kong. The maximum price is 2,000 Hong Kong dollars per episode. This time, he directly quoted 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is five times more. There are also people behind the scenes, and the quotation is also outrageous. If it is because of the project The requirements are high, the shooting period is long, and some of the actors here in the mainland are still at the original price. In short, Sister Qing, you make your own decision."
Chen Qing nodded slightly, and the playful expression she had just teased with Ren Jingxi disappeared, and she read page after page seriously.
Ren Jingxi paused for a moment, but couldn't help but said again: "Sister Qing, I know that the mainland always takes extra care of Hong Kong and Taiwan... but now, especially in Hong Kong, the film industry has collapsed and a large number of film and television employees have lost their jobs. , many people are lucky enough to find a job. For us, I think there is no need to give preferential treatment. The Taiwanese actors in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" received the same salary as the leading actors in the Mainland."
Chen Qing nodded slightly again.
Ren Jingxi didn't know what Chen Qing was thinking, so he said no more and silently picked up the cup of tea in front of him and started sipping.
After a while, Chen Qing finished flipping through the materials in her hand, thought about it for a while, and looked at Ren Jingxi: "Jingxi, next, you go to be the producer of "Dragon Movie". I will tell the boss that you are in charge. Budget this."
Ren Jingxi was a little surprised and subconsciously refused: "Sister Qing, I still want to make "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"."
In fact, I don’t want to get involved.
Ren Jingxi is not stupid. For such a cooperation project, maybe she just said the wrong thing.
Chen Qing put down the materials in her hands and said, "That's it. Many producers are juggling a bunch of projects at the same time. What's more, you have established a company, so you can't only do one at a time. Moreover, the boss of this drama He has high expectations, and you don’t want to disappoint him, right?”
Ren Jingxi didn't want to disappoint anyone, but he didn't want to wade into troubled waters either.
Chen Qing quickly noticed her scruples and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will support you, as well as the boss. I know the boss's attitude. Your worries are unnecessary. No one wants to give preferential treatment to anyone. If they feel that If you are more valuable than others, then let them all go away.”
Ren Jingxi grimaced, hesitated a little, and said, "Sister Qing, you still have to think about the impact. Hong Kong has just returned."
The corners of Chen Qing's lips curved in a cold arc: "Then it's even more important to set rules."
Ren Jingxi simply stopped talking.
Now that Chen Qing has made this decision, and if someone agrees with it, then she will become a small producer who supervises finances. No matter what, if the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up.
Neither of the two women were the kind of people who were procrastinating. After making a decision, they started to move forward.
Ren Jingxi talked about one of his thoughts: "I think, Sister Qing, the mainland does not lack talents at all, it just lacks some ideas and concepts. Since... I am wondering if we can recruit some young people in related fields, especially Behind the scenes, and then follow along to learn and form our own team?"
Chen Qing nodded and said: "Since I have given you the power, you can do whatever you think of." However, Chen Qing quickly added with a smile: "Don't abandon public service for personal reasons and put all those people into your own company." go."
Ren Jingxi did have this idea. If Chen Qing didn't say it, she would definitely do her best.
After all, life is not easy for a small family.
Now that Chen Qing has spoken, she can only take a step back and plan to share it with Jinshu Media.
Sister Jiang Shanwu quickly brought out lunch. The main dish was light cold buckwheat noodles, with a plate of boiled chicken, a plate of cold vegetables and a plate of stir-fried mushrooms.
Share meals.
The amounts of everything were very small. Neither of the two women had the stomach capacity of a small bird. After eating them all, they would only be 70% full.
Ren Jingxi was not as refined as Chen Qing. She felt a little underfed, but she didn't dare to comment.
Otherwise, those who did not run away would definitely be scolded.
The two women continued to chat while eating. They probably talked about the same thing before Chen Qingcai mentioned another thing: "Jinshu is building an overseas distribution network. Do you know about this?"
Ren Jingxi nodded.
Chen Qing said: "After what the boss said last time, Jinshu has recently established initial connections with Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places. The first project is "Kangxi Private Interviews in Private". On your side, go to Jinshu in the afternoon and sign a copy. An agency authorization agreement.”
Ren Jingxi was a little reluctant, but he also knew that this was a certain man's arrangement and agreed again.
The two were chatting when Jiang Yuanchi came in and whispered something in Chen Qing's ear.
Chen Qing nodded calmly: "Let her come in."
Ren Jingxi didn't notice anything at first, but she accidentally raised her head and looked at Chen Qing's expression. Although there seemed to be no flaws, she still instinctively felt danger. Unfortunately, before she could say anything or do anything, Mo Wuling had already entered.
Best friends meet again.
Ren Jingxi was stunned. When she came, she didn't dare to walk on the ground to avoid Mo Wuling, and she even laughed at herself for looking like a little mouse.
Moreover, just now, who said that so and so was not here? Can I curse
Mo Wuling was stunned at first, but when he saw Ren Jingxi's slightly open mouth filled with a mouthful of noodles that was about to fall out, and his body was motionless with tears in his eyes, he suddenly found it funny again.
Seeing myself... is it really necessary to feel so guilty
The enemy is weak and we are strong. Seeing Ren Jingxi like this, Mo Wuling somehow felt more confident. He walked in without waiting for Chen Qing, who was still watching the excitement, to say anything. He tried his best to act as if nothing had happened and said, "Jingxi, you are here too." ah."
Only then did Ren Jingxi react. He closed his mouth and tried to swallow the food quickly. However, he choked because he was too hasty and quickly bent to the other side to cover his mouth.
Jiang Shanwu, who had been standing next to him just now, and Jiang Yuanchi, who happened to have not left, came forward together. The one who handed out paper towels and the other who handed over water finally freed Ren Jingxi from the embarrassment. Finally, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue. Jing Xi then looked at Mo Wuling, who was still standing in front of the dining table, sizing him up, and nodded mechanically, with a look that was seeking forgiveness in his eyes.
Mo Wuling was actually extremely embarrassed, and seeing Chen Qing smiling and watching the fun, he knew she did it on purpose. If he knew Ren Jingxi was here, he would definitely not come over. So she quickly got down to business, and subconsciously blamed a certain girl for why there were so many things going on.
"Sister Chen, this is Momo's side. She wants to invite her classmates over for dinner tonight, is that okay?"
Chen Qing was very talkative, nodded in agreement, and gestured to the side: "Sit down, have you eaten? Let's go together?"
Of course, Mo Wuling would not stay any longer to let Chen Qing watch the fun. When Chen Qing agreed, he said goodbye and walked out. However, when he went out and crossed the threshold, he stumbled because he was not paying attention, which still proved that she The heart is far less calm than the surface.
How embarrassing!
After Mo Wuling fled, Chen Qing looked at Ren Jingxi with an innocent face: "I didn't know she was back."
Ren Jingxi looked at Chen Qing speechlessly and said in his heart, I know you are a bad woman, 100%, no need to deny it.
When Chen Qing saw that Ren Jingxi was silent, she became a little more serious and said, "Actually, that's how it is. If we don't meet, the estrangement will only get deeper and deeper. But if we meet, it will feel less serious. You see, just now Wuling even took the initiative to say hello to you."
Ren Jingxi's head was buzzing just now and she couldn't remember what happened. After Chen Qing said this, she came back to her senses. Mo Wuling seemed to have really greeted her just now.
Chen Qing added: "So, I will arrange for you to meet more often in the future, and we will gradually reconcile."
Ren Jingxi shook his head subconsciously.
Even if I want to meet, I can't let you arrange it. I'm not stupid.
After a small interlude, lunch ended quickly.
Chen Qing did not hesitate, and rushed to Jinshu headquarters with Ren Jingxi after dinner.
Entering an office at the Jinshu headquarters, Wu Shanlin, the president of Jinshu Media, who had been notified in advance, Shi Jihe, the president of Jinshu TV Production Company, and Zhang Dahu, the chief producer of "Dragon Movie", and others were already waiting here.
Chen Qing came to the head of the conference table and sat down with a cold face without saying a word. She threw the material in her hand on the conference table. With the sound of paper blowing in the wind, the material came from one end of the five-meter-long conference table. He flew to the other end, his eyes swept over the people who were startled and a little trembling subconsciously, and said: "The boss gave you so much money to do this project so that you can pursue it at a movie-level level. Extreme. If anyone feels that they have too much money and don’t know how to spend it, and will only double and stack various costs, then get out as soon as possible.”
No one dared to speak for a moment.
After a moment of stalemate, Wu Shanlin glanced at Zhang Bearded and motioned to Lao Zhang to come on first.
As soon as Chen Qing said it, Zhang Dabeard actually understood what the problem was. However, although the chief producer was appointed by someone, but look at the various partners of this project, CCTV, Hong Kong Wireless, and Jinshu Media, which one of these three aspects is easy to get along with
Of course he wants to do a good job, but he can't offend a bunch of people just for a project.
Will you still hang out in the future
Like now, look, being pushed out to be used as rafters, right
But it can’t be inappropriate.
Fortunately, Zhang Dabeard, who had been thinking about it for a while, was about to speak in a strong mood. Chen Qing had already interrupted and signaled to Ren Jingxi. When Ren Jingxi, who was also shocked, came forward, Chen Qing said directly: : "The entire project budget has been scrapped and redone. Jing Xi will be responsible for this matter. Do you have any opinions?"
Zhang Beard almost immediately raised his hands and feet in approval.
Everyone in a certain girl's circle knows that during the production of "Huanzhugege" earlier, Zhang Dabeard had received a request from the other party to help contact a filming location in the capital.
I asked about it afterwards, tsk, the background is as big as the sky.
This girl will be in charge of the budget. If anyone is dissatisfied, go to someone else, as long as you dare. He himself just happened to be liberated and just needed to get the project done. After all, Zhang Dabeard really wanted to do a good job in this project, and even if the budget was so large that it was greedy, he had no intention of making money from it. It was only a fool who wasted his future for the sake of small immediate profits.
Seeing everyone nodding together, Chen Qing continued: "Also, we will not give any preferential treatment to some people in front of and behind the scenes in Hong Kong and Taiwan. This is what I said. If someone feels that he is worth more than others, then let him They carry it and go wherever it is rare, and the brocade book will not serve them."
This time, Wu Shanlin and others looked at each other and wanted to say something, but they still didn't say anything.
Chen Qing finished the explanation clearly and concisely, and finally gestured to Ren Jingxi: "You can talk about the rest among yourselves and discuss what to do next. If you mess up, get out."
Ren Jingxi didn't expect that Chen Qing could solve the matter in just a few minutes. She was so fierce that she was a little scared. She shrank her neck when she heard this and nodded quickly.
Chen Qing immediately stopped talking nonsense and walked out.
Everyone stood up again, and even though Chen Qing said there was no need to send her away, she still insisted on sending a certain aunt out of Jinshu headquarters.
