It’s been a while since I’ve been to the company headquarters. The place has been renovated again, and it seems to be even more brand-new and dazzling. Even the crowds coming and going seem to have fewer familiar faces.

Wang Baoqiang stood beside the glass wall,

I couldn't help but take a second look.

He still remembered that when he first joined the company, there were not so many people, things were not so busy, and there was not even Changlin Pictures. Just a few years later, the place has changed from the second floor to the fourth floor, and he just heard that

It is said that there will soon be a fifth floor for the newly opened TV drama department.

The first floor is used for the TV drama department...it feels like the company has a big goal.

"Click!"

Someone opened the door and came in. It was his assistant, and he whispered: "Brother, the boss has gone out to eat. I guess he won't arrive at the company for a while."

"fine."

Wang Baoqiang passed by like that, still looking naive, but still much more mature in his heart, and said: "I'll wait here, you go have dinner quickly, and then come up to me after eating, you've been hungry all day."

"

"No, I'll stay with you here, brother."

The assistant is also really hungry, but no one here today is in the mood to eat.

I came to the company today not as an ordinary person, but to discuss contract matters:

If you want to leave the company and work on your own, that's also true. But he and Huang Bo both received a lot of domestic resources from Lin Hao, and they relied on this to slowly get to the top, and they are not very high at the moment.

The 12-year contract expired, and the company gradually stopped considering him for future resources.

This feeling is very disturbing.

But if you want to renew the contract, it will take several years.

Thinking about it today, he is not 100% sure - although the company treats him very well, Huayi gives too much!

...

At 8:35, the elevator arrived at the destination floor.

Lin Hao walked slowly to the door and saw Wang Baoqiang leaning against the window and looking down. He unconsciously felt a little familiar.

Just like when he was filming "A World Without Thieves", he ate mutton in the town and then returned to the hotel and lay like this. However, it is definitely different.

Now Baoqiang is no longer the fledgling guy before, but Xu Sanduo, Shunliu, a guy who is well-known and has representative works. As the contract ends, many people in the industry spend a lot of money:

Huayi, which has just gone public, is one of them. If it has a lot of money, it will pay a big price to support it.

It is said that there are several movies, TV series and so on a year.

Indeed, compared to the free-range routine here, it seems to be brighter.

"Brother, you are here!"

Hearing the sound, Wang Baoqiang also turned around. His trademark silly smile appeared on his face: "I heard they said that you and others went to dinner. Who is there?"

"Brother Wu, there are some new people signed by the company, and they are the people from the "Big Buddha Plus" crew."

Lin Hao also laughed: "The Hangzhou food I ate was a bit sweet, so I ate it slowly."

Both parties tacitly ignored that "Big Buddha" did not arrange anything for Wang Baoqiang. Wang Baoqiang was no longer what he used to be, so he nodded and said: "It's sweet. The Longjing shrimp I ate last time had a layer of paste on it.

It’s also a bit unfamiliar to eat.”

"Did you thicken the gravy? Maybe it's just a bit colder, so it's not as delicious as it was at the beginning."

"I'm not used to eating it, even the West Lake vinegar fish last time."

Although due to the contract and follow-up matters, he was not involved in the company's projects to promote newcomers, which was a bit embarrassing. But the matter itself was normal, and the two of them did not talk about these things. They chatted about eating, and they were harmonious for a while.

...

At nine o'clock in the evening, most people in the company have already gotten off work.

Only the animation department is still busy overnight. The "Ghost Blowing the Lamp Season 1" animation has been doing very well since its launch. They are preparing to launch the second season in August, as well as subsequent peripheral operations, IP development and other things in cooperation with the film and TV series departments.

, are all on the way.

It is very important to have a good foundation in animation, so working overtime is inevitable.

"Just give me money, just give me money." Wang Baoqiang muttered a few words: "I heard that you are paid quite a lot for overtime work, so what, you will soon catch up with many veteran employees of other companies."

"Hey, the animation department has always been a direction for our development."

Lin Hao is still interested in this department: "We have hired many people, as well as foreign and various technical equipment. Of course, the script must also keep up. Don't let the animation be exquisite and the plot be the same as a shi."

To be honest, many of the well-known animated films in China have terrible plots.

Whether it's the box office hit "Nezha", or the secretive "Jiang Ziya", or "Big Fish and Begonia"... none of them can reach the level of a good screenwriter - let's just talk about "Jiang Ziya"

, when he talked about "Zhan Shan", he felt energetic at first, but it turned out to be a bunch of false and empty things.

"That's pretty good, and I see there's also a newly renovated area over there..."

Lin Hao glanced at it again and said: "Oh, what are you talking about? Trainees, you know where they are in South Korea? The company also plans to train some of its own..."

"Trainer...very good."

Wang Baoqiang paused and realized that when he was hesitant, the company had quickly added a large number of talent resources. Although they were all newcomers, he also knew that Changlin Pictures had a way of bringing in newcomers, so it took him a few seconds to reply.

God came and said: "Brother, um, I came here tonight because I want to talk to you about He Yue."

...

Finally came to the topic.

The assistant's stomach was growling with hunger, and his eyes lit up when he saw this.

"Okay, you can tell Baoqiang whatever you want."

Wang Baoqiang paused again and then continued: "Brother, I met you when I was filming "A World Without Thieves". You were very kind to me at that time. You even picked me up at the hotel door and took me to buy clothes.

When I was eating, no one thought highly of me at that time. You were the only one who was nice to me..."

"And you have always supported me over the years..."

After chattering for a long time, Lin Hao just listened quietly, and then Wang Baoqiang said: "...So I am very grateful to you, brother. But I have also had some other thoughts over the years, which are given to me by the studio.

I think there will be less arrangements..."

"Understood." Lin Hao nodded.

The company is indeed low-yield, and Lin Hao did not specifically say that he must open more shows, make more money, and focus on high-quality products. But in this case, the internal resources that the actors are generally allocated are only a few protagonists, and then a bunch of supporting roles.

And so on, it will make people feel that the rise is limited.

If they all take on external roles, then the company's significance may not be that great.

He confessed again, saying that he was dissatisfied with many things about the company: low output, few types, and less money.

Having said this, the assistants stood up silently, ready to leave at any time.

"The advertisement you made last time was for a three-no product. The company will definitely not be able to accept the artist under it." Lin Hao nodded: "But I can understand you. You have fewer commercial performances, so the money will be much less."

"yes."

Wang Baoqiang stood up, and this time everyone also stood up.

It sounds like this is nothing more than: the company treats me very well, but I have also contributed to the company and have my own dissatisfaction, so no one owes me anything.

As for the future...

Everyone looked at Wang Baoqiang, and the atmosphere was a little tense. But at this moment, Wang Baoqiang suddenly smiled inappropriately.

"..." Everyone was a little confused.
Chapter completed!
