Chapter 269: Cinema City falls apart, only 7 out of 4 monsters left!
"Of course you can't do it alone."
"Of course, you two shouldn't feel too burdened. It's not that I don't trust you, but I don't want to put too much pressure on you."
Chen Wen spoke directly to Zhou Runfa and Wu Baige in front of him with a smile on his face.
At this point, Chen Wen looked at Jimmy standing beside him and continued to instruct: "Notify the remaining directors of Xinyicheng to come to the meeting."
Upon hearing this, Jimmy agreed readily.
Although at that time Zhou Runfa and Wu Baige did not know what Chen Wen would do next.
But seeing Chen Wen's relaxed look, the two of them instantly understood that Chen Wen had already anticipated that Jiahe would do this.
That was why, when faced with the resignation requests of Wong Pak Ming and the other two, he accepted without hesitation.
Half an hour later.
All the contracted directors of Cinema City and New Hongxing Films gathered in a conference room, but Chen Wen was not present.
"There are only 7 people left from the 4 members of 'Best Partner'. I think we are going to disband too."
The person who was speaking was Shi Nansheng, a female director from Cinema City.
She also has another identity, which is the wife of another director Xu Yicheng, Xu Laoguai.
That’s right! They both worked at Cinema City at that time.
Now, the three creators of Great Wall Cinema, the predecessor of Cinema City, have left, and the remaining ones are a few directors who are still full of energy and have not yet started.
These people instinctively believed that Cinema City would not last much longer.
That is why he is making such sarcastic remarks here.
"What are you talking about? Even if someone quits, Cinema City is still Cinema City after all."
"We are engaged in creation, not commercial warfare. We just need to produce good content."
"As long as Mr. Chen does not interfere with content creation, I have no problem with whatever decision he makes."
After hearing what Shi Nansheng said, Old Monster Xu instinctively retorted.
The personality of Old Monster Xu is very consistent with what he said.
That’s right! What we are always looking for is content.
Whether it is Golden Harvest or Shaw Brothers, both sides attach too much importance to the final box office.
It is for this reason that Xu did not choose the other two companies.
In other words, the reason why Xu chose to stay in Cinema City is that Cinema City can give him great creative freedom.
If not for this, Tsui Hark would not have filmed comedies with these people at Cinema City.
You know, he himself doesn't think he's good at comedy.
“But what if it interferes with our creative content?”
"Isn't the movie 'A Better Tomorrow' just a gangster whitewashing movie? Isn't it just to whitewash it by making such a big deal? I'm afraid that all future movies will be of the same kind, and we won't even have the final say on the content."
"If it really comes to this, I don't think Cinema City's situation will be comparable to other film production companies."
Zeng Zhiwei was making sarcastic remarks on the side.
That’s right! These people are the backbone of Cinema City.
Except for the three who have already switched jobs, these people are also members of the Cinema City creative team.
Different from several other film companies, Cinema City adopts a collective creation system.
In other words, the movie "Best Partner" was produced by Cinema City, but it was the "Cinema City Seven Monsters" who contributed ideas to this movie.
The so-called New City Seven Monsters is a powerful team composed of seven well-known screenwriters, directors and producers.
They include Wong Pak-ming, Mak Ka-wai, Shek Tim, Shi Nansheng, Tsui Hark, Eric Tsang and Wu Pak-ge.
The first three are creators of the predecessor of Cinema City Film Company.
In other words, their position is slightly higher than the remaining few.
Therefore, Golden Harvest chose to recruit Wong Pak-ming and others to film "Best Partner 2" at the first opportunity.
"Stop talking about this nonsense for now."
"It's already this late. There's no point in talking about this anymore. It's better to listen to Mr. Chen's arrangements."
I saw several other people talking about it.
Wu Baige was the first to stand up and speak for Chen Wen.
That’s right! Wu Baige was recently filming the movie “A Better Tomorrow” at New Hongxing Films.
Although he is still a member of Xinyicheng, he already has a seat in Xinhongxing Film Production Company, which is better than the others.
The most important thing is that the movie "A Better Tomorrow" is very popular and its box office is unprecedentedly strong.
It can be said that as long as he himself does not want to quit, no one will make things difficult for him at this time.
"White Dove! What on earth does Mr. Chen mean?"
"You called all of us here, aren't you going to ask us to film these gangster whitewashing films?"
"Now that the three of Huang Baiming have left, do we have to merge our Xinyicheng into the New Hongxing Film Production Company?"
Zeng Zhiwei chatted with Wu Baige next to him with a gossipy look in his eyes.
There is no doubt that in their eyes, Wu Baige at that time was like their connection to the New Hung Hing Film Production Company.
You know, the work "A Better Tomorrow" has already reached an epic level.
In this case, Wu Baige must be a talented director that all filmmakers are vying for.
"A gangster whitewashing film?"
"It seems that everyone is not very interested in this movie theme?"
"Are you not interested in the subject matter, or are you not interested in my New Hung Hing Film Production Company? I, Chen Wen, am here today, and we are open to chatting."
Before Wu Baige could answer, Chen Wen had already appeared in everyone's sight.
He immediately took over Zeng Zhiwei's conversation.
That’s right! If you are just not interested in the subject matter of the movie, then there are other things to discuss later.
But if you are not interested in the film production company, it is tantamount to taking the opportunity to change jobs like Huang Baiming and others.
"I just want to know Mr. Chen's future plans."
Sitting in Chen Wen's office, even Zeng Zhiwei, who was always smiling, became serious.
The other people around also kept their heads down and kept silent.
"Asking about my plans means that your current choice is not clear enough, right?"
"I can continue to invest in Cinema City and make movies according to the contract between Cinema City and Golden Princess Cinemas, and then release them in theaters."
Chen Wen spoke directly to the people in front of him in a leisurely manner.
That’s right! As soon as these words came out, the filmmakers present instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Chen, what about our creative content?"
Shi Nansheng subconsciously continued to ask: "Is it the same as before, we can shoot whatever we want? Or did Mr. Chen specifically ask us to shoot those gangster whitewashing films?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Old Monster Xu, Shi Nansheng's husband, immediately let out a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Chen, please don't be offended. I just said it harshly, but I don't think so in my heart."
Old Monster Xu hurriedly helped Shi Nansheng to mend the wound.
Seeing this situation, Chen Wen just smiled slightly.
"A gangster whitewash? That's a very accurate description. No wonder he's a film producer."
"However, I am here to make it clear to you that if you continue to create as before, I will not interfere with your creative content."
Chen Wen smiled slightly and answered calmly.
But when he saw that the expressions on the faces of several people had just eased a little, Chen Wen immediately changed his tone.
