"Hu Ge is actually quite anxious." After drinking a lot of water in the conference room, Liu Minghua stopped making tea and sat down facing Qin Xiaobao: "After I learned that the script was prepared, I immediately sent it to him.
It took three days for me to get a reply. The work was very good, but I was under a lot of pressure.”
"Is it because it's just one character?" Qin Xiaobao can guess.
"Yes, according to his original intention, Director Qin still exceeded my expectations. I believed he could write a script with me as the main character, but I didn't expect it to be so pure. He directly made a one-man movie. I like it very much and it's very interesting.
challenge."
"You still know the goods, so what?"
"So it was originally arranged that we would have a chat when you come back from Berlin. The main reason is that I don't know much about the script, and many of the questions he asked were very technical and I couldn't answer them."
"No," Qin Xiaobao was surprised: "You didn't say anything about signing the contract?"
"Don't be anxious. If you are willing to come and talk, it means you have expressed your intention."
"How sure are you?"
"Eighty percent!"
"Other companies haven't given up, right?" Qin Xiaobao still trusts Liu Minghua. He said that it is 80%, and it will only be more or less: "If you don't sign on this day, something may happen."
"Of course I know, but his contract only ends in March, and the original company is also working hard to fight for it. Leaving is inevitable. If it hadn't been so long, how could there be any news if he could be persuaded.
I originally expected you to come back on the 13th, so you could have time to chat before the end of the year, but now that this has happened, I just want to ask if I should postpone it."
"What does Hu Ge mean?"
"He respects our opinions and understands that the company must have a lot of things to do now. He expressed his understanding and can cooperate. I have an idea. If this movie is to be made, we can give a higher salary. After all, the money of other actors has been saved.
Well, it can be regarded as supporting him and showing our sincerity."
"This is no problem, but the specifics need to be discussed?" Qin Xiaobao knew that some money can be saved and some money must be spent: "Exclusive investment has advantages and disadvantages. The last movie was a coincidence. Now as long as the news is released, I guess
There must be a lot of people investing? Forget it? Let’s not talk about this now, it’s a bit early.”
He thought about it for a moment: "He is from the Magic City, right? Has he been here recently?"
"Always here? Is it the Chinese New Year soon? I haven't gone out yet."
"Why don't you take a look in the next two days and make an appointment for me to meet him? Let's talk."
"Okay? I'll make arrangements later."
"Is there anything else?"
"Everything else is okay? It's the end of the year and there's nothing to do."
Mainly because Qin Xiaobao's movie happened to be released in January. As early as November, Hunan, Guangdong, Zhejiang and other satellite TV stations sent invitations to him to participate in the TV station's Spring Festival Gala, but they were all rejected.
Participating in the Spring Festival Gala is not that simple. It may just be a song, but it takes time to rehearse and go to the TV station more than a dozen times. Don’t be too normal. It will be broadcast live!
He didn't have any free time at all, and he was extremely busy just doing publicity.
Also rejected were commercial performances.
Nowadays, Qin Xiaobao is no longer just a singer, but also a director. Too many commercial performances are not a good thing. To put it simply, even if he can make money, he will not let him make it.
You have to put on a show and improve your performance.
So up to now, the busiest artists in the company are only the two Phoenix Legends.
Qin Xiaobao provided two more songs, and now there are five songs in total. The style of music is naturally consistent and very popular. If we want to judge the singers who have performed the most in China, they will definitely occupy the top three.
Wang Bingbing is still not well-known. She and the company are not in a hurry. She has only joined for a few months and has a long way to go. It is a pity that she missed the opportunity to walk on the red carpet. Otherwise, it would not be a problem to accumulate a wave of fans.
It can be said that if it were not for the Berlin Film Festival Organizing Committee, even if Qin Xiaobao did not win an award this time, he would have had an easy year this year.
This time last year, he was worrying about three meals a day and not knowing what the future would bring.
In just one year, I moved from a single room to an elevator room, went from owing money to having an eight-digit savings, owning my own company, releasing an album by Zhang Zhenger, making a movie, and most importantly, I got to know a lot of people.
My friends, it can be said that I have gained a lot.
However, some setbacks will not make Qin Xiaobao fly up to the sky. He is already luckier than most people. It is actually beneficial to hit a wall appropriately.
"How are you preparing for the annual meeting?"
"Actually, there is nothing to prepare. The materials and other things have been prepared in advance. All we need is the program. It won't hurt if we delay it for a few days."
"That's right. Where are the tickets? Have they bought all the tickets to go home?"
"Don't worry, everything is fine. Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your concern."
"Well, the finance department has compiled the year-end bonus data. Let's show it to Mr. Xiang. In the first year of this year, everything is difficult at the beginning. Everyone has worked very hard. Let's see if we can give out more. Don't be stingy about lottery draws or anything like that.
Get something practical, a Huawei P40, or a laptop or something."
Qin Xiaobao has never been a boss, but he worked as a white-collar worker for several years in his previous life (without driving). A small favor during the company's Chinese New Year can really make employees more loyal, except of course if it goes too far.
If you want long-term development, you definitely can't rely on him alone.
There is a saying that goes well, only if employees work hard can the boss keep buying luxury cars.
"Okay, I'll thank you on behalf of everyone, but it's been really hard these past few months. There's a new album and a movie, and I often have to work overtime at night. I just hope that this matter will end soon and be safe."
Have a peaceful New Year!" Liu Minghua said with a happy face.
“No employee is so tired that he wants to resign, right?”
"No, I received a lot of emails today to apply for jobs. It's the end of the year."
"It's probably caused by the news," Qin Xiaobao quickly thought: "There are so many awesome media helping to report, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are helping to support the situation. Although it is not the original intention, some people may have misunderstood and thought it was
I leaned against a big tree and wanted to enjoy the shade.
Hey, don’t waste this opportunity. If you find someone suitable, you can save a lot of money and kill two birds with one stone."
"You are right," Liu Minghua, who has been in China, has a deep understanding of this: "We did show our face this time, and the official media supported us, and we gave us too much face.
In the past, if they posted news about the entertainment industry, nine out of ten of them would be critical, and the rest would just be complimentary.
Open and honest support is still rare."
"Well, you still have to pay attention to CCTV to see if there is any guidance or advice, and communicate it in a timely manner to avoid misunderstandings. If they are dissatisfied, it will be very difficult for us in the future."
"I will definitely pay attention to this. Reporter Ji and I have been communicating."
"Well, I don't have to worry about you doing the work. It's just a long word."
Tuk-tuk-tuk, there was a knock on the door.
"Mr. Qin!"
"Come in!"
"Something interesting happened. Come and take a look."
