Chapter 224: The Mummy Series
Westwind Studios
Wen Zhong had just arrived at the studio, and before he even met with the rest of the group, he had already been notified by Johansen that he was going to attend the meeting.
Pushing open the door of the conference room, Wen Zhong couldn't help but be stunned. There were only four people in the room, and it was clear that not everyone needed to attend this meeting. In addition to Doug, the leader of Group A, Flink, the leader of Group B, and Zheng Yue, the leader of Group C, who Wen Zhong is familiar with. Zheng Yue is an unlucky child, although he has the title of leader of Group C, but in fact, he can't enjoy the No. 1 access device like the leader of the other two groups, because the user is Wen Zhong, who is more qualified.
Returning to the text, in addition to the three familiar team leaders, there was another person familiar to Wen Zhong sitting in the conference room. A man who has always existed in the lines and has been complained about by Miss Wang Yun and Ani - Li Zhuxing. Li Suxing is a middle-aged man, different from Wen Zhong's impression of the uncle who has been wearing an off-white old suit and black suit pants. After the current Li Zhu Xing has been gilded with the layer of Aries main star, he is wearing a black suit that he knows will cost a lot at a glance. With a red shirt and flower tie with a bag inside, he looks like a successful person.
However, it can also be seen that this uncle's pretentiousness is extraordinary, at least he and the other three team leaders are sitting quite far away. Wen Zhong was curious, as if things had changed a lot recently. A group leader-level meeting that can explain what blackface Johansen is going to illustrate is not as simple as ordinary commissioned work.
Wen Zhong smiled and nodded at the four people in the conference room, but it seemed that some people didn't look so appreciative. Li Zhuxing sneered: "Are you still playing tricks? This thing didn't know that when he said a word, it immediately attracted the hostility of the other three team leaders, you must know that by a certain definition, the people here are a group of "dead runners".
But Li Zhuxing didn't seem to be aware, and still said to himself: "If you had followed me to the Aries main star earlier, you wouldn't have to receive that meager salary here." ”
His words seemed to be like pity for Wen Zhong, but Wen Zhong smiled slightly, "Yes, maybe I can come back here with you, be a team leader, and receive a little more than a meager salary, right?" ”
Li Zhuxing suddenly choked, snorted coldly and stopped talking. However, the three team leaders couldn't hold back and let out a laugh, which washed away the small smell of gunpowder in the conference room. Wen Zhong casually sat next to Zheng Yue, the leader of the group, and asked in a low voice, "What did Johansen ask us to do?" ”
Doug from Group A leaned over and said, "I have some news about this, it seems to be a big plot, more than a dozen studios in our neighborhood are said to have been commissioned, and now that I think about it, it should be like that." ”
"What's the plot?" Flink, from Group B, asked.
Seeing Doug shake his head, everyone couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, what kind of plot requires a huge number of plots, which will unite as many as nearly a hundred studios in the vicinity.
However, it didn't make everyone wait long, and soon the door of the conference room was pushed open. It wasn't just blackface Johansen who walked in, in addition to Johansen, there was also the director Charles and Phil, the owner of Studio Zephyr. The appearance of these two people also made the five people present correct their sitting posture, and even the boss was dispatched, which naturally let these guys know that things are not simple.
It was still Johansen who presided over the meeting, but at the beginning of the meeting, there was a little hiccup. It's nothing more than Li Zhuxing, a disgusting uncle, who suddenly jumped out, pointed at Wen Zhong and said that this is a management-level meeting, why should a New Year's end be attended? Even if this trick is a veteran employee of the studio.
Of course, such an episode ending is nothing more than being ignored by the three boss-level people. As the three people who control the information of the studio, they all understand that the studio can have today, and Wen Zhong, a modest and diligent, hard-working and hard-working guy who has no name, has indelible contributions, which is far from being comparable to a clown like Li Zhuxing. But if it weren't for Phil's ambitions, perhaps they would have chosen to be sarcastic.
After the interlude, Johansen continued to put the materials he had prepared on the big screen in the conference room, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was shocked: "The studio wants to get out of this ranks and become a film and television company!" And our first actor to praise is Li Suxing from our own studio! As he said this, Johansen's eyes were on Wen Zhong. But Li Zhuxing in his mouth didn't notice this, but looked at the four people next to him proudly, looking down on them.
Belch... I hate such brainless people.
This is probably what the director Charles and the boss Phil thought in their hearts, if it weren't for Wen Zhong's consistent attitude of refusing to be famous, coupled with Phil's ambitions, they would not have chosen to praise Li Zhuxing, a subconscious actor who is only a little better than others.
"So this is what this meeting is all about?" It seemed that the atmosphere in the conference room was a little silent and strange, and Wen Zhong decided to break the strange atmosphere.
Johansen came to his senses, took a deep breath, and continued to press the button, and the screen on the wall showed a new movie cover. The background of the cover of the stills is a long stretch of yellow sand. In the rolling yellow sand, the top of a pyramid looms.
Hanging above the pyramid is a withered and rotten palm, as if it owns the pyramid, and below the pyramid is a group of people trying to survive. Although most of the actors in it have their names written on them, except for the obscene middle-aged uncle Li Zhuxing in the corner, Wen Zhong can pat his chest, and he doesn't know 100% of them!
Behind this group of people, there are some kobold armies, these monsters with spears and sickles in their hands, as if they are chasing the humans in front. On the contrary, it is these monsters, Wen Zhong knows very well, Anubis's army of death!
He asked, somewhat surprised, "Anubis?" Could it be the Mummy series? ”
John was a little stunned, but quickly nodded and said: "This movie script series, since it encountered Waterloo thirty years ago, has been hidden by its copyright owner, the Dawn Foundation. It wasn't until the recent dissolution of the Dawn Consortium that many of the scripts they owned were re-introduced.
Including the vigorous "Alien" series of scripts during this time, these old themes have attracted the attention of many big film and television companies. The rights to the Mummy series were acquired by a syndicated company called Union Films. The consortium has a total of seventy-five small film companies.
After acquiring the rights, they decided to remake the original version of Earth Age, the Mummy 1 and 2 series, a hybrid version of "Tomb Robbery" and "The Scorpion King". The specific plot is still unclear, but if you use it as a gimmick, I believe it will be able to attract a lot of audiences. This time, the cast was still from these 75 film companies, but the scale of the war was relatively large, so there was a demand for a studio in the vicinity.
The good news is that Phil fought for a role with lines in this film, the fictional character Rumple, played by Li Zhuxing. If the effect is good this time, as long as Li Shuxing can get 7% of the attention of the whole drama, then Alliance Films promises to make us the seventy-sixth member!
So this time, the goal of the entire studio is simple, to help Li Shuxing reach this achievement! ”
Listening to Johansen's loud explanation, Wen Zhong suddenly had a feeling of wanting to run away.
