In the following days, Zhang Qiurui focused on editing "A Better Tomorrow" while overseeing the production of the animation "Spirited Away".
The production of "Spirited Away" had the base map and script provided by Zhang Qiurui. Li Shuai and his team only had to present the images they wanted, so the production progress was very smooth. Now the completion progress is almost one-half, and if it goes well, it will be completed by the end of November.
This day.
"Hello! Mr. Zou, is there something you want to talk to me about?" That day, Zhang Qiurui received a call from Zou Wenhuai.
"Director Zhang, we would like to tentatively schedule the first Academy Awards for February 13th? I wonder if it is convenient for you to attend during this period?" Zou Wenhuai asked on the other end of the phone.
Zhang Qiurui has been confirmed to serve as the chairman of the jury for the first Academy Awards. The time of the Academy Awards ceremony was naturally determined after consultation with Zhang Qiurui.
The Hong Kong Film Awards is comparable to the three major international film festivals. Zhang Qiurui has two films that have won major awards at the three major film festivals. If she can personally participate in and host this event, it will undoubtedly add great weight and attention to the Hong Kong Film Awards.
If she hadn't come, the award ceremony would have been much less exciting.
"I probably won't be free during this period." Zhang Qiurui refused without thinking.
"Spirited Away" will be completed by the end of the year and will then be entered into the Berlin Film Festival.
In later lives, this film won the Golden Bear Award for Best Film at the Berlin Film Festival. Although this life happened so many years earlier, she couldn't guarantee that she would win the award. But as long as the quality of "Spirited Away" could be maintained, coupled with her own international reputation, the hope of winning the award was still very great.
Moreover, participating in the Berlin Film Festival will not only enhance the international popularity of "Spirited Away", but also win more respect and recognition for herself and Chinese-language films.
In previous years, the Berlin Film Festival was held around this time, which conflicted with the Academy Awards, so naturally I was not available.
"Director Zhang wants to stay longer when he returns this year?
"Then we'll schedule it for whatever time Director Zhang is free," Zou Wenhuai said, accommodating Zhang Qiurui.
"It will be held at the end of January or the end of the year. Otherwise, it will be held at the end of February." Zhang Qiurui looked through the calendar and selected several possible time periods.
"Okay, Director Zhang, I'll discuss it first and then give you a reply." Zou Wenhuai agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Qiurui continued to devote himself to his busy work.
........
"Boss, I have something to tell you." That day, after Chen Jiaying and Zhang Qiurui finished their work reports, she hesitated to speak, and then made up her mind to speak to Zhang Qiurui.
"What big thing have you done that makes you look like you are ready to die?" Zhang Qiurui asked with a smile when she saw Chen Jiaying's expression.
Chen Jiaying has been her assistant for more than a year. She is meticulous and thoughtful in her work, and has arranged Zhang Qiurui's affairs in an orderly manner. As she comes into contact with more and more senior executives and handles more and more things, she gradually develops the temperament of a decisive and strong woman.
Seeing her hesitant now, Zhang Qiurui became curious about what Chen Jiaying would say next.
"A few days ago, I saw two promising young people outside. After getting to know them, I felt that they were both very good. I want to sign these two promising young people to work for our company." Chen Jiaying said with anticipation in his eyes.
"Just this? Are you still hesitant?
Yingzi, I told you before that you can look for artists to sign. After the company develops, I also promised to give you the position of artist director.
Are they those two people? Do you have their information? " Zhang Qiurui heard this and walked out from behind the desk, walked to Chen Jiaying, patted her shoulder and encouraged her.
In Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s, ordinary people picked up randomly on the street might become big stars in later generations. Many Hong Kong stars in later generations were spotted by scouts on the street, and then discovered and signed to make their debut.
Zhang Qiurui also knew this, so instead of opposing Chen Jiaying's idea of signing new people, she was very supportive.
Seeing Zhang Qiurui's attitude, Chen Jiaying was delighted and said, "Boss, I have already asked them to come to the company.
You can see him anytime.
The two of them seemed to like our company very much. When they heard that it was Haikuotiankong Films, they expressed their intention to sign a contract with us just after chatting with them.
Now we just need to discuss the details of the contract and we can sign it."
"Are you in the conference room? Let's go and take a look." Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiurui immediately stood up straight, with a hint of interest in his eyes.
Chen Jiaying followed closely behind, and went to the meeting room with Qiu Rui.
The two of them quickly walked to the door of the conference room and gently pushed it open.
Inside, two young girls were sitting upright with nervous and expectant expressions on their faces.
Both of them have long hair, and one of them is thin and gentle.
The other one is petite with an oval face, and her eyes reveal a stubbornness and spirit.
Seeing Zhang Qiurui and Chen Jiaying come in, the two of them stood up quickly.
"Director Zhang, Assistant Chen."
"Director Zhang, Assistant Chen."
"Sit down, don't be nervous." Seeing that the two girls in front of her were a little nervous, Zhang Qiurui smiled and sat down at the main seat at the conference table, motioning them to sit down as well.
Her eyes moved between the two of them, with a bit of scrutiny and appreciation.
Zhang Qiurui didn't expect that Chen Jiaying had a good vision and the two people he found were actually them.
Just thinking about the future, both of them had bad situations. Either they died young, or they lived a miserable life in their later years and died of old age.
