Chapter 1088 1188. Don’t treat bean buns as dry food
Zhou Duoduo's sudden words startled everyone. Soon everyone followed Zhou Duoduo's fingers and were surprised to find that Zhou Duoduo was pointing to the 'rookie' Wang Zimu.
"Ah, I'm sorry." Zhou Duoduo retracted her finger and said apologetically. After all, it was not polite to point at a stranger, but she suddenly remembered and subconsciously wanted to use this action to confirm.
However, when she apologized like this, others thought Zhou Duoduo had admitted the wrong person, especially Liu Minghao, who felt relieved.
He was scared to death just now, thinking that Wang Zimu, a 'rookie', had some background, but he actually knew Nie Wei's sister Zhou Duoduo. Now that he saw Zhou Duoduo's reaction, he felt that this was natural.
But he was completely wrong, and Zhou Duoduo did recognize Wang Zimu.
"I met you at the party yesterday, and my brother specially invited you to work at Huayi. I didn't expect you to actually come? I remember your name is Wang Zimu, right?" Zhou Duoduo looked over with a smile. Looking at Wang Zimu, he felt happy that he accidentally thought of the other person, just like he had picked up fifty cents on the roadside when he was a child.
Wang Zimu nodded quickly. Then he remembered that the other party was Nie Wei's sister. It was not surprising that she could attend the dinner. As a sister, it was normal for her to be with Nie Wei, so it was natural for her to notice him.
But what he didn't expect was that the other party would still remember his name, which actually made Wang Zimu feel honored.
"Wait, what are you talking about? Isn't his name Niu Weifeng? Why is it Wang Zimu?" Liu Minghao was dumbfounded again, listening blankly to the conversation between Zhou Duoduo and Wang Zimu, his mind was very confused.
Brother Fei frowned and realized that the matter was not simple. He and Xiao Liu seemed to have recognized the wrong person.
The next second, Wang Zimu gave an explanation with a wry smile: "My name is Wang Zimu, and I am here to join the job today. Because the main building did not open the door in the morning, I wandered to the auxiliary building. Unexpectedly..."
Wang Zimu didn't say the rest, but Liu Minghao and Brother Fei knew it completely.
"Aw... no, Mr. Wang Zimu, please wait a moment, I'll make a call." Liu Minghao looked a little embarrassed and a little uneasy.
Zhou Duoduo said it herself, Wang Zimu was a talent recruited by Nie Wei personally, and if he was able to attend last night's dinner, he must be someone qualified to participate in the "Star Ceremony". The combination of these points can only prove that , he is a person who is not easy to mess with, at least for Liu Minghao.
On the one hand, he went out to confirm whether the man named Niu was dead, and on the other hand, he also wanted to find out about Wang Zimu.
After going out, Liu Minghao immediately took out his mobile phone, and the first thing he searched for was the shortlist for the "Star Festival".
If it were a winner, his name would not be so unfamiliar to him, and it would certainly not be for awards such as Best Director or Best Actor. Wang Zimu is so young, and if he had been shortlisted for Best Director, he would have been hyped up by the media. And for actors, Even more impossible, Wang Zimu has nothing to do with the actor in terms of appearance or temperament.
You must know that people who are engaged in the profession of actors, regardless of whether they are beautiful or ugly, old or young, at least have one thing that is the key to their success, and that is attracting attention. And how can a person like Wang Zimu, who is not found in the pile of embarrassment, be an actor? Yes, it will be a huge failure, and it is impossible to be recruited by Nie Wei.
Soon, Liu Minghao found Wang Zimu's name on the shortlist for the best documentary.
"I see, that's it." The truth turned out to be that the other party was a documentary director. I heard that during the review, Nie Wei made the decision and gave the documentary five shortlisted places. This matter is not considered in Huayi Company. What a secret.
Obviously, Wang Zimu should be the one chosen by Nie Wei.
"Lucky guy." Liu Minghao muttered slightly jealously, then found Niu Weifeng's phone number and pressed the dial button.
It rang for more than twenty seconds before the call was connected.
"Niu Weifeng, right?"
"you are?"
"My name is Liu Minghao, and I am one of the PDs for Huayi's new girl group documentary. I want to know right now. It's been almost half an hour since the agreed time. Where are you?"
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I ate hotpot mutton last night to celebrate my joining Huayi. As a result, I got acute enteritis and had diarrhea all night. I'm currently getting an intravenous drip at the doctor. PD Liu, I'm really sorry. I may have to take half a day. Fake."
"That's it. I understand. It's important to take care of your health. However, due to your own personal reasons and the lack of prior notice, the program team was unable to respond to emergencies, resulting in filming delays. I will also report this to the company truthfully. "
"No..." Before Niu Weifeng's plea came out, Liu Minghao hung up the phone and directly added Niu Weifeng's phone number to the listening list.
"Don't use bean bags as solid food. You want to get away with it easily after saying a few words and getting sold out? Don't be ridiculous." Putting away the phone, Liu Minghao curled his lips in disdain.
When Niu Weifeng answered the phone, he was obviously dazed. It was obvious that he had just been woken up. In addition, the surroundings around him were very quiet. It didn't look like he was in an emergency room.
And his reasons are not tenable. Even if he is sick, he must ask for leave in advance to give the crew time to deal with it. But for someone like him who just doesn't show up quietly, Liu Minghao will not take responsibility for his sins. Taking the blame.
A report on Niu Weifeng's error must be submitted. Although Liu Minghao is just a small PD, as he said, don't take bean buns as dry food. As a PD, he also has some small rights. For example, the work feedback of new photographers like Niu Weifeng is reported by Liu Minghao. To a large extent, Liu Minghao's report will affect the judgment of newcomers like Niu Weifeng.
Of course, the company will definitely send people to verify the situation, but Liu Minghao only needs to not conceal it, which is enough for Niu Weifeng to drink a pot, and he may even lose his job.
You should know that working in Huayi is the easiest, but also the most strict.
Many departments of Huayi adopt a flexible work policy. You can leave work after completing your own work, and you don't have to wait until the end of the get off work time to leave. Even if you need to work overtime in the face of a large amount of work, you will also receive the industry's top overtime subsidies.
But similarly, if you fail to complete the task within the specified time, or if you do not complete the task seriously, causing the task to be delayed or even causing losses to the company, it will also be included in the bad performance in the work record, and the rating will be affected at that time. In serious cases, you may even be dismissed by the company.
Liu Minghao hung up the phone, thinking that even if Niu Weifeng was not dismissed, he would be given a serious demerit, and he felt much better.
Back in the practice room, Liu Minghao took the initiative to apologize to Wang Zimu with an apologetic smile on his face: "Director Wang, I'm sorry, I really don't know your identity. I thought you were our intern photographer. After all, you are too young."
"It's all my fault for judging people by their appearance. I apologize to you for what happened just now and for the verbal offense."
"Ah, it's okay. In fact, I am very grateful to you. At least I have a job opportunity as soon as I come." Wang Zimu was a little flustered by Liu Minghao's apology. After listening to it, he realized that everything was a misunderstanding, but he was even more panicked now, because he was afraid that the job he just got would be lost because of this incident.
"PD Liu, is your photographer not here yet?" Wang Zimu asked tentatively.
Hearing this, Liu Minghao smiled bitterly, explained the news of Niu Weifeng's 'acute enteritis', and then said: "Brother Fei, today's daytime shooting may be postponed. I will write the report when the time comes. As for the photographer, Niu Weifeng must not be used."
"This is also unavoidable. Alas, I will go and apologize to those children and teachers." Brother Fei sighed and prepared to apologize over there. After all, the agreed shooting could not be carried out. The key problem still lies with the program team.
"Wait." Wang Zimu felt brightened when he heard the news, and immediately stopped Brother Fei and Liu Minghao who were about to apologize.
"Brother Fei, PD Liu, why don't you let me be the photographer, and I just listened to PD Liu's instructions, and I also understand what to shoot, and I guarantee to complete the task." Wang Zimu recommended himself.
Liu Minghao and Brother Fei looked at each other and thought this was a good idea.
But when he thought of Wang Zimu's identity, Liu Minghao was a little embarrassed.
"Director Wang, this is not appropriate, after all, you..."
"It's quite appropriate, PD Liu, just trust me. I can't do other things, but I still have some experience in how to shoot documentaries." Wang Zimu patted his chest to assure, and then whispered: "You are worried that I haven't officially started yet. I don't think this should have much impact, and I will keep the content of the shooting confidential."
"Ah, it's okay, it's great that you can help." After confirming that Wang Zimu really wanted to shoot, Liu Minghao happily thanked Wang Zimu, and Brother Fei on the side was also very happy. At least with Wang Zimu's help, they can shoot normally, and he won't get up early in vain. More importantly, with Wang Zimu's help, the program will proceed normally, which is not a major shooting accident.
This alone makes Brother Fei and Liu Minghao full of gratitude to Wang Zimu.
Although the photographer is the least important position in this program group, and he is usually ordered around, this emergency moment has become the key. Wang Zimu's help is like sending charcoal in the snow, making them feel what warmth is.
Liu Minghao also made up his mind that when he wrote the report, he must write about Wang Zimu's "timely rain" style, praise him, and make a strong contrast with the irresponsible Niu Weifeng.
Because of Wang Zimu's joining, the interview can continue.
Although it was just a job as a documentary photographer for the Children's Group, Wang Zimu took it very seriously. After two years, he picked up the camera again. Not only did he not feel unfamiliar, but he also felt a blood connection. The moment he carried the camera, he felt that he was complete.
Time unknowingly reached half past eight. Although Wang Zimu proposed more than once that he could continue to work, Liu Minghao still found a new photographer.
"Director Wang, you still have to report on time, but I remember today's friendship. I will treat you to a drink after get off work." Liu Minghao reminded.
Wang Zimu then remembered that he was not a member of Huayi yet, and he still needed to go through the procedure of joining the company.
He had to reluctantly hand over the camera to the newly recruited photographer, and then left the annex building with his eyes looking back every three steps.
Arriving at the main building, Wang Zimu went to the front desk and gave his name. Soon a front desk receptionist led Wang Zimu to the door of an office.
After entering the room, Wang Zimu realized that this was not Nie Wei's office, and the person who met him was not Nie Wei, but a supervisor named Gao.
When Supervisor Gao saw Wang Zimu, he smiled and asked him to sit down, and then took out a contract and handed it to Wang Zimu.
"This is the basic salary and bonus treatment offered by Huayi. Take a closer look and ask any questions you have."
Wang Zimu looked through the contract. He couldn't understand many of the terms. Fortunately, Supervisor Gao explained them to him patiently. He mainly looked at the salary and years of service.
The contract salary offered by Huayi was 12,000 yuan, which was about the salary of some directors who had been working in the company for about two years, and the bonus was about the same.
Wang Zimu was very satisfied with this salary. If he had the opportunity to direct a movie independently during the contract period, he would have additional director's remuneration. Even if the film received a good response, had a high box office or won some awards, he would have a share of the bonus.
As for the contract period, it was six years.
These were clearly written in the contract. Wang Zimu felt that the conditions were very good, so he didn't hesitate and wrote his name and pressed his fingerprint.
Supervisor Gao put away the contract and shook hands with Wang Zimu.
"Congratulations, Director Wang, from today you are a member of the Huayi family. Let me tell you about your work arrangements after coming to Huayi."
Wang Zimu pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"Because you have already had the experience of successfully directing a documentary, I want to ask you, do you want to continue to develop in documentaries, or do you want to switch to movies or TV series, of course, it may also be variety shows?"
"I want to make a movie!" Wang Zimu answered without hesitation. As a director, basically the biggest dream is to make a movie and then move his movie to the big screen. Of course, there are some who are out of touch, but Wang Zimu is obviously a normal director.
"Very good, our company has a new movie to shoot, and we will arrange for you to be the assistant director of the crew to learn. I hope you will work hard to show yourself. The director and producer will write a report to the company to feedback your situation in the crew. We will also judge your performance based on the report and arrange the next work for you. What do you think?"
"I will obey the arrangement." Wang Zimu knew that he was a rookie and there was no chance for him to practice, so he agreed directly. Sure enough, Director Gao showed a satisfied smile. Compared with the thorny personality, Wang Zimu, who was sensible, was undoubtedly more pleasing to him.
"Wait for me to make a call." Director Gao picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.
"Mr. Nie..." The call was connected, and the address from Director Gao immediately made Wang Zimu prick up his ears. He knew that Director Gao should report his own affairs to Nie Wei.
What Wang Zimu didn't expect was that Director Gao hung up the phone after agreeing a few words, and then looked at Wang Zimu and looked at him with an inexplicable look.
"Boss Nie asked you to report. You should follow the staff to Boss Nie's office first."
"Ah?" Wang Zimu was a little surprised, but he still followed a staff member called by a senior manager to Nie Wei's office.
The senior manager's office is on the third floor of the building, but Nie Wei's office is on the top floor. Fortunately, there is an elevator. If he climbs the stairs, Wang Zimu feels that he will be exhausted.
Thinking of this, Wang Zimu shook his head and felt that his thinking was too divergent. What are you thinking about?
Soon, Wang Zimu followed the staff to the top floor and soon came to the door of Nie Wei's office. However, what surprised Wang Zimu was that there were two people at the door of Nie Wei's office, and he was very familiar with one of them.
