The cheers and excitement lasted for about three or four minutes before finally dying down.
Everyone seemed to be a little bit excited, even Qian Zhong clenched his fists, looking like he couldn't wait to start working.
Lu Yuan actually wanted to remind everyone not to forget who they are and not to become arrogant, but he stopped in the end.
He felt that it was not appropriate to say something to spoil the mood.
After announcing the company's general arrangements and some rules and regulations, he handed the rest of the time over to Fatty Wei.
He didn't like this kind of long speeches, let alone any official tone. After all, when he was in school, the long speeches of school leaders really left him speechless.
The person sitting down here is almost asleep, who else would listen?
Fatty Wei stood up, his face greasy as he held the speech he had written.
"In the past year, our 'remote' entertainment has undergone a major transformation, a transformation from nothing to something. I still remember this time last year, I was still wandering around Hengdian, trying to find a similar director job to make a living..."
"To be honest, everyone thinks we are a shell company. Yes! We were a shell company before, but we are not anymore. Everything has a process from nothing to something. We are just in the process of development now..."
"Before, I didn't really believe in miracles. After all, miracles are too ridiculous. But since I met Mr. Lu and A Yuan, I have seen miracles. In fact, it's not just Mr. Lu, but also me, you, you guys..."
“We are all about to create a miracle.”
"At this turbulent time, I feel that we are all making history, China's science fiction films, art films..."
"There are still many good movies waiting for us to discover..."
"Chinese films are now basically dominated by Hollywood. Hollywood is really strong!"
"But our 'remote' opponent is Hollywood. 'Buried' doesn't represent anything, but 'Nomadland' represents our unilateral counterattack!"
"Hit, hit hard, hit Hollywood so hard that it can't breathe. We can even counterattack Hollywood!"
"besides……"
“…”
Fatty Wei's voice was full of ups and downs, and every word he said was sonorous, powerful and inspiring.
Lu Yuan, who was sitting in the main seat, even felt an inexplicable sense of excitement after listening to it.
Of course, this enthusiasm is mixed with a hint of embarrassment.
This Fatty Wei looks more and more like a middle school student, and more and more like a brainwashing captain...
Lu Yuan felt that if his company continued to decline, all the employees might be brainwashed.
As for the others, their faces turned red again and they were gasping for breath!
They felt a sense of fighting spirit, like a pre-war mobilization.
After Fatty Wei finished speaking, he was naturally greeted with applause.
After Fatty Wei sat down, Shen Zhiwei stood up.
Shen Zhiwei was even more excited. While flattering the company, he clenched his fist and swore his ambitions and ideas. He also expressed the passion of his youth, and sounded as inspiring as Fatty Wei.
He wants to grow with the company!
Then came Lu Yihong, Qian Zhong and others...
…
It’s late at night.
Amidst roars and excitement, the second core staff conference of "Remote" company finally came to an end.
Lu Yuan was very tired.
These guys are such a rip off!
The meeting, which could have ended long ago, was delayed for another three or four hours.
Lu Yuan's butt was so stiff from sitting.
First, Fatty Wei started brainwashing, followed by Shen Zhiwei, Lu Yihong...
Then the atmosphere became more and more heated, and what started as one-sided brainwashing turned into mutual brainwashing.
Many times, many emotions are contagious.
In fact, until everyone left, Lu Yuan's mind kept echoing with a mess of excited voices such as "hard work", "turbulent", "first in long-distance", and "creating miracles"...
He picked his ears and even thought for a moment that he had been brainwashed by these guys.
He thought of Sammul Chan’s Weibo again.
At this moment, he suddenly understood deeply.
I'm afraid my company is really a brainwashing MLM company. We all just make movies to earn some money and live a decent life. But what the hell is the meaning of this plan to counterattack Hollywood and America and become a world-class film company?
Even if it expands, it can't expand to this extent, right?
Lu Yuan felt tired instantly.
Not only was he tired, but after looking at the deposit in his bank card that was about to disappear, he suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
This much money will no longer be mine.
They will eventually go away.
"Why……"
A man sat quietly in the office and he sighed deeply.
Just after Lu Yuan sighed, there was a knock on the door, and then Wang Jinxue came in with a cup of tea.
"You don't need to put too much pressure on yourself. In fact, everything is already fine." Putting the tea on Lu Yuan's table, Wang Jinxue hesitated and looked at Lu Yuan.
"I don't have any pressure." Lu Yuan shook his head.
Speaking of pressure, he really doesn't feel any pressure.
only……
He felt sorry for the money because he was about to return to the situation before liberation.
"Rest early and don't think too much."
"Um."
"I will leave the company tomorrow and it will probably be about a month."
"What are you going to do?"
"Take a look at the real estate projects in the science and technology park in Hangzhou and see what support policies they have for us."
"Um, thank you." Lu Yuan nodded silently.
"Lu Yuan..."
"What?"
"Just call me every day and talk about work, recent events, or anything else..." Wang Jinxue hesitated for a moment, then looked at Lu Yuan.
Her expression was indifferent.
But her eyes were like water, rippling all over, and almost at the same time her hand was slightly raised, and then slowly put down.
The night is very quiet.
The moonlight shone on Wang Jinxue's body, making her as otherworldly and beautiful as a fairy in the legend.
"good."
Lu Yuan nodded. He felt that the atmosphere at this moment was quite awkward.
"Well, go to bed early." Wang Jinxue looked at Lu Yuan, left after saying this, and turned away. Although her lips moved slightly, she didn't say anything in the end.
She is not one to be easily timid.
She just felt that now was not the right time...
But, I can't help feeling a little bit of emptiness in my heart, which I can't even describe.
"Okay." Lu Yuan looked at Wang Jinxue's back as she left, then looked at the cup of hot tea. "That... Wang Jinxue"
"What?" Wang Jinxue stopped at the door.
"Maybe I'll go to Hangzhou in April. I haven't really traveled there yet. Well, I don't even know what the West Lake looks like... I haven't taken a boat ride much..."
"Okay, call me in advance when you come so I can plan the travel time and route." Wang Jinxue nodded.
“Ohhhh.”
…
Two days later, the filming of the movie "This Man From Earth" was officially completed.
Li Qi was not interested in celebrating the completion of the film. Instead, he rushed to ask the relevant departments to make rectifications, review, revise, edit and process the film.
All this takes time.
Time is running out.
Li Qi checked the movies that will be released in April.
He found that in April, apart from some comedies and some mainstream art films, there was only one Hollywood movie left, "Your Future Self".
This movie was not made with a high investment in Hollywood, only three million US dollars, and cannot be considered a movie.
Of course, if three million US dollars is converted into RMB, it would be more than 20 million RMB.
With an investment of more than 20 million RMB, this film is definitely a standout among the movies released in April.
After seeing the poster of this movie, Li Qi finally shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
I am definitely no match for him!
Afterwards, Li Qi turned his attention to the movie that had an investment of about 10 million yuan.
The name of this movie is "Stray Pigs".
After seeing the name and introduction of this movie, he felt it was shameless!
This movie is basically based on the general plot of "The Wanderer", but "The Wanderer" is about drug addiction, while this one is about smoking cessation...
But you can't sue him for plagiarism.
After all, although the plots are similar, the characters, direction, and other things are different.
Can you sue him for plagiarism for following the trend?
There is no way to sue at all.
Li Qi couldn't do anything, Qian Zhong couldn't do anything either, but Fatty Wei was quite generous...
It is normal to follow the trend. After all, being able to follow the trend indirectly proves that your movie is awesome, doesn't it?
The cast of "The Stray Pig" is not weak either, with the popular young actor Future joining in the cast, and the new generation actor Xu Fengfan, who won the Best Newcomer Award, leading the cast...
The poster is very impressive and the advertising is also quite good.
This is good.
Li Qi closed his eyes.
Even though this movie followed the trend, it still couldn't do it itself.
After all, the investment and cast are there.
Finally, he shook his head.
He found that his film could only be compared with those low-budget art films and comedies with investments of several million dollars, such as "Lost Paradise of Youth", "Flowers of That Year" and "The Alien".
However, he still had no confidence.
However, when he thought about the fact that the investment in his movie was less than 200,000 yuan, he shook his head.
If a movie can earn a few million at the box office, it will be considered a hit. Why should I have such high demands?
…
March 29th.
The new episode of "Happy Camp" was finally broadcast as scheduled with all the gimmicks and hype from Xiangnan TV.
Shen Zhiwei watched the program of the base camp with great interest.
He really wanted to see how much of a role he had in the base camp.
But when the show officially started, he found that except for a brief moment when he sang a song at the beginning, all other shots of him were gone.
He was just a background the whole time, and it was the kind of background that was just swept away without even a single close-up of him...
And the whole process was filled with Lu Yuan’s various personal shows.
"..." Although he had already thought of this result, he still felt deeply disappointed when the facts were laid before him.
Yes, disappointed!
This trip to the base camp was really a failure, wasn’t it?
But when he thought that other people were treated similarly to him, he suddenly felt happier.
After all, I am not alone.
…
“How are the ratings?”
“It has increased from 12.5 to 13!”
“It seems the show was quite good!”
"Yes!"
"Master, Lu Yuan is out..."
“What are the ratings?”
“15, back to the peak, back to the peak 15!”
"Oh, you're finally back? It seems like it was right to ask Lu Yuan to come over."
"Yes, that's right. Wait, 15.5, 16, 16.5... Director, the ratings have exceeded 17."
“Breaking the historical high?”
"Yes, it broke, but it hasn't stopped yet, it's still rising, 17.5, 18... Wow..."
“Break 18.5?”
"Yes, it broke 18.5. After the show ended, the ratings actually broke 18.5!"
“That’s great!”
"Yes, we can have a celebration party now."
“…”
Xu Peng excitedly took the data report and reported the ratings to Xu Guangrong every few minutes.
The final ratings of "Happy Camp" were fixed at 18.5.
When the ratings exceeded 18.5, Xu Guangrong's calm face turned into a look of surprise.
Although 18.5 cannot be compared with those hit TV series, he is definitely a leader in variety shows and is basically the number one.
It seems that the four hundred thousand is worth it!
However, in the early morning, Xu Peng knocked on Xu Guangrong's door again.
"Director, negative news is coming."
"What negative news?"
"It's negative news about Lu Yuan's cooking. It's been widely circulated online, and many people have already started to criticize him..."
"What?"
