Cheng Taixi returned to her suite in the villa after dinner. She didn't want to pay attention to what Chen Qing was doing. The mansion is big enough for everyone to have their own space.
At around eight o'clock, while I was reading a book about film production in the study room outside my bedroom, the phone rang.
Picked up, from my father who has returned to Busan.
Some time ago, the second brother and sister-in-law found jobs again, and the old couple returned to Busan after confirming that their second son would not miss him.
After hesitating for a while, he finally asked, asking if the man behind her scenes was the legendary Simon Westeros
Cheng Taixi wanted to deny it, but since his father had already called, denying it would be useless.
Just acquiesce.
Immediately, the mother's voice of emotion and exclamation came from over there, leaving Cheng Taixi speechless. Is there any need to make such a fuss
However, Cheng Taixi unknowingly relaxed a little because his parents only expressed emotion and admiration instead of complaining or condemning. This at least shows that the parents are not disgusted with the man of their own, or they obviously have some weird pride. Even if their daughter finds a man like Simon Westeros... it is indeed worthy of mentioning.
Cheng Taixi made a few words, but his father would spill the beans.
As expected, it was the second sister-in-law who revealed the past and then instigated her parents to call.
Cheng Taixi was just a little helpless about this.
After all, she is her brother and sister-in-law, otherwise, what else could she do
Finally, he said that he would go back to his hometown to visit his parents when he finished this period of work, and his father hung up the phone with satisfaction. It can be guessed that the old couple probably want to see the man, but how is this possible? There is no chance to see him, so they can only pretend to be confused.
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Taixi just turned a page in the book in front of him when the phone rang again. This time it was his second brother Cheng Yuzhong.
Cheng Taixi was finally a little unhappy.
Mainly because that woman always teases her own relatives. What's going on
Still, she could only deal with it patiently, but after another hesitant interrogation, Cheng Taixi could only acquiesce again when she asked questions knowingly. The second brother finally invited her to have lunch at their house tomorrow noon. Cheng Taixi had already moved to work at the Showbox headquarters in Jiangnan District, which was not far from his brother's home.
However, because he was dissatisfied with a certain woman, Cheng Taixi said that tomorrow was Monday and he was very busy, so he refused the matter. The second brother over there did not bother with it and looked cautious. This made Cheng Taixi feel a little weird, as if she found out that her man was Simon Westeros, and she felt inexplicably better among her relatives.
After receiving two phone calls in a row, Cheng Taixi couldn't help but think of a certain man, and wanted to force himself to read a book seriously, but in the end his mind was confused.
Just go to bed early.
However, when I turned off the lights and huddled under the quilt, my mind became more and more confused. I thought of that night with the man, the only night, and then there were scenes like being forced by Chen Qing to take a bath and sleep together. Maybe that Miss Chen It’s also because I’m too lonely on weekdays.
In the end, I couldn't fall asleep. At around 11 o'clock, I got up and took a hot bath.
I inevitably got up a little late the next day.
On the way downstairs to the restaurant, I passed by the door of a study room and took a look inside the open door. I saw Chen Qing sitting behind the desk, chatting about something in front of the computer screen. Opposite the desk, a beautiful The little girl was dancing gracefully, in a ballet style, but her movements seemed a bit mechanical, like a little doll in a music box.
After subconsciously stopping for a moment, Cheng Taixi discovered that there was another woman in the study, standing humbly on one side by the door.
I remember last night I heard that Chen Qing had brought back two women. It seemed like these were the two. Cheng Taixi didn't dare to go into details. When Chen Qing noticed him, he quickly said hello, said good morning and left in a hurry.
Chen Qing has already had breakfast and is on a video call with Guan Yinan, the president of Jinshu Brokerage Company.
Regarding Simon’s last announcement about the establishment of Jinshu New Media Operations Department.
Because it was a task assigned by Simon, and it also involved certain other things, Jinshu paid great attention to it, and after some deliberation, it was Guan Yinan, the president of Jinshu Agency, who took the initiative to ask for the job, which was considered as having two jobs.
New media operation is a very new thing. Everyone doesn’t understand it and can only explore it.
Guan Yinan, who had already proven his ability as an artist manager, took over, and everyone felt relieved. After all, according to the concept expounded by the big boss, plus the industry information collected from the United States, this is actually a job of selecting and managing people. Just like Elite, a model agency, treats new media operations as a sub-department.
Although Jinshu's new media operations department has specially registered Jinshu New Media Culture Communication Company, Guan Yinan is temporarily in charge, which is in line with the operating philosophy passed down there.
During this time, Guan Yinan spent a lot of his energy on selecting candidates.
When the two had a video call, Guan Yinan was not in Beijing, but in Yangshuo County under the jurisdiction of Guilin.
Among the plans provided by my boss, there is a self-media suggestion to create a utopian rural pastoral, picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, bala bala.
Chen Qing, of course, resolutely implemented it.
The fat water does not flow to outsiders' fields.
The first thing Chen Qing thought of was her hometown. There is paradise above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. She definitely wanted to try the various Jiangnan towns between Suzhou and Hangzhou, so she identified several locations and teams.
Beyond Jiangnan is Yangshuo, where my boss owns a mountaintop courtyard.
Guilin's landscape is unparalleled in the world, and it has long been able to attract a large number of foreigners to come and live there. Since it is targeting foreign platforms like YouTube, it must not be let go.
The core frameworks of related programs are basically the same.
Choose a suitable shooting location, then choose a girl as the core, and shoot the food, clothing, housing and transportation, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, firewood, rice, oil and salt, etc. related to Chinese culture.
However, the main framework is similar, but in order to avoid homogeneity, except for Guan Yinan, the co-ordinator, the other teams each choose their own without any communication. They each shoot relevant themes according to the customs of each place, and then Jinshu Xin The media will review, evaluate and upload, including subsequent marketing operations.
At this time, Guan Yinan was introducing a small farm located at the foot of a mountain in the east of the small town of Yangshuo. There is also a tributary of the Li River next to it. It can be said that it is surrounded by mountains and rivers.
When selecting a location, the first thing to do is to install the network. China is now vigorously promoting related infrastructure construction. Therefore, apart from the high cost of running a long line, there are no other problems with the farm over there.
Guan Yinan was introduced to Chen Qing by an assistant holding a laptop and camera and dragging a long network cable. The picture was obviously blurry, so there was nothing that could be done about it.
It is rare to have such video communication at this stage.
However, even though the picture quality was not good, Chen Qing still enjoyed the most beautiful original Guilin landscape in the newly lit winter morning light over there. Even though it is winter, it is still as beautiful as a painting, with no signs of decline in the north.
The farm is about 10 acres. The core courtyard is a small brick house with Guangxi-style cornices. It has green bricks and blue tiles. It is simple and reveals a bit of vicissitudes of time, as if it has been there for many years.
However, Xiaozhai actually sprung up out of thin air in the past month.
The team specially collected old materials from nearby villages, various bricks, tiles, pillars and stones soaked in time, and also invited an expert from Guilin City who has extensive research on local architecture to help with the design. As for the construction process, for China, It is not a problem to build a thirty-story building in one month, let alone such a small courtyard.
And it didn't cost much.
The 10-acre small farm is a very remote plot of land in the countryside and cannot even grow food. In addition, after some communication with the Yangshuo County Government, which we have had some experience with, a document for a cultural exchange pilot project was specially issued for three years. The rental fee is only a symbolic 1,000 yuan.
The construction of the courtyard was a bit expensive. Due to the rush of work and the various interior decorations, it cost more than 30,000 yuan.
1997 was still the era when households with ten thousand yuan were talked about. In rural areas, a two-story building could be built for a few thousand yuan, and thirty thousand yuan was still very valuable.
Although her boss reminded her to operate at a low cost, Chen Qing still approved a budget of RMB 50,000 for each of the five teams out of instinctive confidence in the plan.
For the pilot project in Yangshuo, the construction of the shooting location is the most expensive. For comparison, there is another one in a small place called Wuzhen in northern Zhejiang near Jiangsu. The team there directly rented an old house in the town. , including decoration and so on, it only cost less than three thousand yuan.
No matter what, it's only 50,000 yuan.
This is also how Jinshu delegates power to each small team. You can do whatever you want, and produce works within the budget. Then, after the money was spent and there was no effect, the small team was disbanded.
Guan Yinan took Chen Qing around and introduced the six-person team here.
The core is a carefully selected local girl named Jing Xiaosui, 17 years old, about 1.65 meters tall, with an oval face, bright eyes and white teeth, and a slender figure that is somewhat graceful and feminine, because the girl is from Guilin Born in a dance school.
The girls in other places are similar.
After all, it’s impossible to really choose a farm girl.
Just like in Wuzhen, Zhejiang, the girl in charge of the scene is named Xie Qingmai. She is a top student at Beijing Film Academy and Jiang Anqi's classmate.
It happened that she and Guan Yinan met by chance because of Jiang Anqi's relationship. Xie Qingmai signed a contract with Jinshu Agency in the second half of the year. He originally wanted to develop into an actor, but accidentally noticed this opportunity, so he recommended himself and wanted to give it a try. We have several students from Beijing Film Academy majoring in directing, photography, etc., which can be said to be the strongest among the five small teams.
But there is still only a budget of 50,000.
College students in this era are still very valuable. After all, they are special. Jinshu still provides some extra guarantees. As long as the small team completes its project seriously, even if it fails, it can still work in Jinshu in the future, which is considered a fallback path.
Over there in Yangshuo.
In addition to Jing Xiaosui, the other five are also young people in related majors who have just stepped out of college this year. Although they are not as good as Beijing Film Academy, they are just college students majoring in film and television arts from some ordinary universities in various provinces, but they have also passed the interview here. , very outstanding.
Six young men and women gathered around a long log table in the side room that serves as a studio on one side of the house. Guan Yinan made an introduction on the opposite side. The six young men spent a few more minutes explaining to Chen Qing several shooting plans being planned there. Finally, Guan Yinan took over the conversation and said to Chen Qing: "Mr. Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Qing nodded with satisfaction. At least from what she had just seen and heard, she had nothing to be dissatisfied about. The next step would be to see the results.
This is the last team to take shape. It is expected that Chen Qing will be able to see the samples when she returns to China this weekend.
Although his boss said that self-media can be uploaded at any time, but since it is a project and he has not seen outstanding works, Chen Qing will not really upload them casually.
The beginning is important.
After thinking about it for a while, of course she still had her opinion. Chen Qing said to the other side: "Did I see the telephone pole in the shot just now?"
The other person didn't react for a moment.
Chen Qing explained: "I told you in advance that I need an absolutely original ecology. That telephone pole, how should I put it, is like a car suddenly appearing in a costume drama, you won't think Is it against the law?"
When Chen Qing said this, everyone on the other side understood.
Jing Xiaosui, who not only has a good appearance but also has a soft voice, spoke first, imitating Guan Yinan's name: "Mr. Chen, I understand what you mean, but we can pull all the wires and network cables over in this area. It’s not easy, we can only ensure that when shooting, we try our best not to allow illegal elements such as telephone poles to appear in the shot.”
Understanding that what the other party said was the truth, Chen Qing did not force it, and continued: "There is no way to hide the telephone poles outdoors, but inside the courtyard, I found that the wires can still be seen from the wall. It shouldn't be difficult to change this. Yes, your room..."
Chen Qing looked at the computer used for surfing the Internet and the various shooting equipment on the other side of the camera, and said: "It is best not to appear in the camera. There are also various shooting props, involving food, pots and pans Basins, don’t have any standard mass-produced kitchen utensils. Replace all the ones I just saw and look for traditional handmade ones. If you can’t find them, better yet, make them yourself. You can also film a show by the way. …”
Chen Qing said that these are very useful things, and the young people across from him listened carefully.
After Chen Qing finished speaking, Jing Xiaosui, who unknowingly took the initiative in the team even though he was only 17 years old, asked again: "Mr. Chen, one more thing, we don't do English subtitles, just original Chinese. What do you think?" Sample?"
Chen Qing heard this and smiled: "If you think it's good, then make your own decision. Of course, you will be responsible for the consequences."
Jing Xiaosui explained: "Mr. Chen, we have recently filmed some material. I feel that many things do not require English annotations for foreigners to understand them. Adding English annotations would be cumbersome."
"I just said, you decide for yourself. I have given you all the suggestions I can give. You also know that Jinshu has planned several teams. I don't want to see you homogeneous, so I won't give too many suggestions. , you’d better come up with your own ideas.”
Jing Xiaosui said: "In this case, we have decided."
After chatting some more details, Chen Qing said to Jing Xiaosui and others: "You guys go out first, I will have a few words with Sister Guan."
After a few young people left, Guan Yinan smiled and said: "They are all quite outstanding, aren't they?"
"Yes, as the boss said, the most indispensable thing in China is people. With more people, there will be more talents. What is lacking is just Bole who can tap talents. In this regard, Sister Guan, you have done a very good job."
Guan Yinan didn't expect Chen Qing to praise him, so he smiled sheepishly, and then said: "Mr. Chen, when can you come back from South Korea?"
"On the weekend, soon," Chen Qing replied, and then asked: "Tell me about the progress of several other projects. Hey, how is the filming of Qinqi, calligraphy and painting in their hometown?"
Qin Qi, Shu Hua, are sisters Liu Qin Qi and Liu Shu Hua who are outstanding among the female guards team in China.
The two sisters were born in a small village at the foot of the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi Province. People in the whole village have been studying martial arts for generations, which has also created the sisters' skills at the level of special forces in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Among the first batch of finalized plans, in addition to rural pastoral, there are also more formal documentary-style "A Bite of China" named by the owner himself, self-media style Chinese home cooking, tea making, porcelain firing and other traditional Chinese crafts. And finally, foreigners will definitely be very interested in visiting Chinese Kung Fu.
This time it is not an official Chinese kung fu team display, but a search for Chinese folk kung fu legends.
In China in the 1990s, traditional martial arts had not yet declined. A large number of older generations of martial arts descendants who had experienced two world wars or even earlier were still alive. It can be said that no matter where you are in the country, if you ask around, the locals will be able to point out some experts who know how to play traditional tricks.
The real Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Jinshu's plan to visit Chinese Kung Fu is to find these people scattered among the people.
The first material came from the Liu sisters who were beside Chen Qing.
In the village where Qinqi, calligraphy and painting was born and raised, the inheritance of martial arts can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty, and even produced high-quality generals. It can be said that it has a long history. In modern times, the Anti-Japanese War, the Resistance to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and even the Resistance to US Aggression and Aid Vietnam... Well, these do not seem to be suitable for YouTube. However, the kung fu must be all real, and it is so close to the water, so it would be a pity not to take pictures and record it.
Seeing Chen Qing's interested expression, Guan Yinan smiled and said, "The filming has been completed. It's a full 18 hours of material, and I feel like it's too much to cut. Mr. Chen, please come back as soon as possible, so I can give you some advice."
"Eighteen hours is too long," Chen Qing couldn't help but shake her head: "It depends on the situation, or we can open a special column for them on YouTube. Anyway, YouTube is not as limited in schedule as TV stations."
"I think so."
Guan Yinan matched the sentence again and turned to talk about other projects.
Chen Qing did not chat with Guan Yinan for too long, and continued for half an hour. After eight o'clock, the conversation ended.
Only then did I realize that there was a music box doll dancing opposite the desk.
Chen Qing called Lily Favell and pointed at the mother and daughter who had been trained to be submissive overnight: "Arrange an apartment for them in Jiangnan District, and then send them to Han Yunxiu to sign a contract for the younger one. The older one will also take a temporary job at JY and get a salary."
Lily nodded in agreement and asked, "Mr. Chen, do you want a maid?"
To exchange good books, follow the vx official account. [Book Friends Base Camp]. Follow now and receive cash red envelopes!
Chen Qing shook her head: "Ask JY to provide them with two assistants."
The main reason is that the team of waitresses in South Korea has not yet begun to select and train. As for the domestic or American side, Chen Qing also has the right to make arrangements, but the language barrier makes it troublesome. Therefore, we can only have two life assistants for the time being.
After all, I have recently expressed my opinion that as long as the people below are not stupid, they all know what to do.
After giving instructions, the whole family was taken away by Lily, and Chen Qing also started to prepare for today's work.
Today is December 1st, Monday.
A new month is also the beginning of a new week. Today Chen Qing will show up to the negotiation teams of the three companies to follow up on the progress of the negotiations. Hit the three companies at the same time and ask them to start implementing layoff plans as soon as possible to avoid the Westeros system taking the blame in the future.
In addition, yesterday I was reminded by JY Entertainment President Shin Jae-lun about cable TV.
This is a temporary schedule.
The main thing is to select the person in charge and communicate with the North American side. The communication will be arranged in the evening. Of course, it is not to contact the boss directly, but to Daenerys TV in New York.
Coupled with various other matters, the week has just begun and work has already been scheduled to the weekend. If you can't finish it, you may even have to stay a few more days before returning to your country.
It is better to return to China as soon as possible, because there is also a lot of work accumulated there.
Chen Qing looked at the work schedule compiled by the assistant team and began to envy Lin Su. That woman has been working as a confinement worker in Hangzhou for a year. I don’t know how lazy she is. Of course, just thinking about it casually, deep down, Chen Qing is very happy that Lin Su is completely lazy and useless, so that she can be the only one in China and even Asia, hum.
