Although Lu Chen's Xiangjiang Film and Television Studio had only been established for a short time, everything here seemed to be orderly and regular. None of the recruited employees was idle. They were all busy preparing for the first movie that the studio was going to shoot.
Although it was small, it was complete. The most important thing was that the atmosphere in the studio was very good, giving people a sense of vitality, which made Lu Chen very satisfied.
Wan Xiaoquan was not greedy for credit. He gave the credit to Chen Wenqiang, the director of the studio.
Lu Chen's Xiangjiang Studio still had very few employees. Of course, Lu Chen himself was the big boss, and Wan Xiaoquan served as the artistic director. When it came to specific work affairs, it all depended on this thin middle-aged man.
Chen Wenqiang was not good-looking. He had high cheekbones, a tight and narrow chin, and a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks. His skin was dark and thin, and he was no more than 1.6 meters tall. He looked a little funny in a wrinkled suit.
However, his eyes were full of spirit. His eyes were bright, and he gave people a feeling that he was tough and difficult to deal with.
On the way to the studio, Wan Xiaoquan deliberately told Lu Chen about the new director.
Chen Wenqiang was a descendant of the first generation of immigrants in Xiangjiang. He grew up in a small fishing village in the New Territories. After graduating from high school, he came out to join the society. He washed dishes and swept the streets. Later, he accidentally entered the film and television circle.
He started as a handyman, ran errands for others, was an assistant, an agent, and even worked as a director of a TV station. His work experience could be said to be very rich. He was a role similar to that of a jack of all trades, but he had never really stood out.
His career was bumpy, and his life was not smooth. Chen Wenqiang's wife died very early, leaving him and his only daughter to rely on each other and work hard to make a living.
Wan Xiaoquan poached Chen Wenqiang through the introduction of a friend. For an outsider like Lu Chen Studio, which had no connections and foundation in Xiangjiang, it would undoubtedly avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles and take fewer detours, and it would be easier for them to integrate into the local circle.
Of course, the price of poaching people was not low. In addition to the necessary high salary, Wan Xiaoquan also promised to give Chen Wenqiang's daughter a role in the first movie produced by the studio.
Chen Wenqiang's daughter, Chen Siyi, was currently studying in an acting training class and wanted to enter the entertainment circle.
This daughter was Chen Wenqiang's lifeblood.
"Uncle Qiang, thank you for your hard work."
After Wan Xiaoquan's introduction, Lu Chen took the initiative to extend his hand to Chen Wenqiang. "I'm new here, so I'm not familiar with everything here. Please give me some pointers!"
Lu Chen would never care about his boss's face and style to pretend to know something he didn't know.
His frank and enthusiastic attitude clearly surprised Chen Wenqiang. He quickly bowed and shook Lu Chen's hand, saying, "Boss, you're too kind. It's my honor to serve you."
Compared to Li Zhen, Chen Wenqiang's standard of Mandarin was really far behind. Not only was it stiff, but it also had a strong Cantonese accent. If one did not listen carefully, one would not be able to understand it.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Uncle Qiang is too polite. I wish us a happy cooperation."
These two sentences were said in Cantonese, and it was very standard Cantonese.
Chen Wenqiang was suddenly stunned. Even Wan Xiaoquan and Li Zhen, who were next to him, were very surprised.
Wan Xiaoquan had known Lu Chen for a period of time. Chen Wenqiang and Li Zhen had seen his relevant information and knew that he was from Zhejiang Province. He had just graduated from university last year and majored in computer science.
After graduation, Lu Chen had been developing in the capital and had never been to Xiangjiang. Today was the first time.
Then why was he so fluent in Cantonese?
Of course, Lu Chen knew what everyone was thinking, but he couldn't say that his ability to speak Cantonese came from Xu Wenbo's memory, could he? He explained, "I learned Cantonese from a classmate from Chaoshan. It's not bad, right?"
Chen Wenqiang gave a thumbs up and sincerely praised, "Boss, this is your Cantonese. There's nothing to say!"
He didn't care how Lu Chen learned Cantonese. What was important was that there would be no obstacles in communicating with Lu Chen in the future. He was worried about this problem at first, fearing that it would affect the communication between the two parties.
Chen Wenqiang knew much more about Lu Chen than Li Zhen. Through the information obtained from various aspects, Lu Chen had already made a big name for himself in the domestic entertainment circle. His future was limitless. What he currently lacked was qualifications.
Lu Chen chose to come to Xiangjiang to establish his new career. Chen Wenqiang felt that this was an opportunity for him. As long as he grasped this relationship, even if the film here failed in the future, it would be easy to bring his daughter to develop in China.
Compared to the entertainment circle in Xiangjiang, the domestic world was really vast.
Therefore, when Chen Wenqiang jumped to LuChen studio, he sincerely wanted to make some achievements.
"I've seen many celebrities from the mainland. Your Cantonese is the best. It's not a problem for you to be a real Xiangjiang person!"
Lu Chen smiled faintly.
Chen Wenqiang's attitude towards him was certainly sincere and respectful, but his words inadvertently revealed the superiority of the Xiangjiang people over the mainlanders.
Chen Wenqiang was like this. What about the big stars and high-level figures in Xiangjiang's entertainment circle?
Although it was a good opportunity, it wasn't easy for him to expand his business here.
Lu Chen had already been mentally prepared for this. He couldn't have all the good things in the world. If Xiangjiang was a new battlefield, he would not be afraid of any challenges.
A life full of challenges was an interesting and meaningful life!
Wan Xiaoquan timely said, "Let's go to the small conference room to talk about the new film."
The most anxious person about the film was not Lu Chen. It was the director who had not sat in the director's chair for several years. He had gotten Lu Chen's script when he was in the capital and had basically studied it thoroughly.
"From the perspective of filming, it's not difficult …"
In the small conference room of the studio, Wan Xiaoquan spoke confidently in front of the projection screen.
What was shown on the screen was the draft of the new film that he had drawn himself. Every stroke was undoubtedly permeated with the director's painstaking efforts and efforts.
"All the scenes can be shot in the Lion Rock Film and Television City. In addition, as for the special effects, several local special effects companies in Xiangjiang are fully capable of producing them, including the soundtrack, dubbing, and so on. There is no need to go back to the mainland to find people.
"The main problem is still the crew, or partners!"
