Chapter 272 Do you want to launch a big production?
Duan Xiaochen scooped up the nectar from Yang Zhi with a happy face, and sent it into her sexy red lips, savoring it carefully.
But after only taking a few bites, she used great restraint to push the bowl of Yangzhi nectar to Du Caige, expressing her determination not to eat it.
Du Caige didn't persuade her either, and scooped and ate silently.
The management staff were a little surprised and thoughtful looking at this scene.
It seems that the rumors are not groundless.
If it wasn't for the closeness of the relationship to a certain extent, how could Duan Tianhou give Du Dong what he leftover to eat!
Those who will do this are not relatives, but boyfriends and girlfriends.
It is impossible for ordinary friends to do this.
But they didn't say anything.
Although the company is a start-up, the division between superiors and subordinates is not so clear. And Duan Xiaochen and Du Caige are not the kind of people with big airs.
But they are all seasoned professionals who know exactly what to pose when.
After seeing a clue, they didn't turn their eyes away at this time, and concentrated on eliminating the dessert in front of them.
"Brother, is the new distribution system really that important?"
"Yes, it is very important."
"You can communicate with me first," Duan Xiaochen said angrily. "People first objected and supported, and their attitude turned three hundred and sixty degrees. What a shame."
"I didn't know this would be discussed at the meeting."
"It's all Chu Jixiang's fault for making a surprise attack." Duan Xiaochen said angrily.
"Well, it's all his fault." Du Caige agreed. A dead Taoist friend does not die a poor Taoist.
After chatting for a while, Duan Xiaochen talked about official business.
"We want to sign a few potential new directors and train them to become direct descendants. Brother, haven't you been paying attention to things in this circle? Can you recommend a few?"
The director of the production department and the deputy director in charge of film and television immediately bowed their heads and slandered.
It's too much for you to ask Du Dong about such a professional thing!
Du Dong is very powerful, but he is in the music circle.
You asked him about the film industry, isn't that asking about Yu Bing?
Unreliable, unreliable!
Du Caige thought about it and gave several names, all of which were interesting new directors he found while scanning the film.
Including Yu Shan who won the same prize with him in that competition.
Hearing these names, the Deputy Director of Film and Television was surprised.
Because of these people, he has also heard of them, and they are indeed highly rated newcomers in the circle.
"Dong Du is very discerning, and we are also paying attention to these directors. However, they have been watched by several big companies for a long time, and we have no advantage in competition," interjected Xu Liang, deputy director of film and television, "and most directors I also don’t want to sign a brokerage contract to tie myself up.”
Du Caige said in a flat tone: "Try it, try it. For some rookie directors, the most important thing is the opportunity to direct independently, and it's okay to give up some freedom for this."
Xu Liang was taken aback and hesitated: "Director Du, are you going to promise them to direct a few films independently as a condition of signing the contract? This can indeed improve the possibility of signing a contract,
But...isn't it too risky? "
Duan Xiaochen looked at Du Caige with a smile, as if confident, but at the same time he didn't seem to care at all.
As long as Du Caige said what to do, even if it was a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, she would dare to go for it.
Du Caige considered for a moment, then nodded and said, "The director wants to make movies. You can agree to invest in them to make a few movies, such as 5 movies in 5 years, with an investment of not less than 5 million each, and use such conditions to attract them to join."
"First, the investment amount will not be too large, and we will attract others to invest together to diversify the risk. We can independently invest in a movie with an investment of less than 5 million. For a movie with an investment of 10 million, we will invest 3-5 million by ourselves."
"Secondly, they are all competent, and I believe they can make good commercial films."
"Third, the final cut right is not given to them, we will check it ourselves. So looking at it this way, the risk is actually within the controllable range."
Xu Liang listened, let's not say that he was convinced, at least on the surface, he couldn't pick out any faults, and nodded and stopped talking.
Ouyang Lihai, director of the creative and production department, took over the conversation: "Well, let's follow up and try to sign two or three to cultivate the company's direct line."
Du Caige tapped the table unconsciously with his fingers: "You are expensive, not much. Among these directors, they focus on Guan Shan, and they must take him down. For the rest, try to strive for it. If it is not possible, there is no need to force it."
Ouyang Lihai was stunned, but he didn't expect Du Caige to value this Yu Shan so much.
Duan Xiaochen also has some taste: "Is Yu Shan a female director? How old is it? Is she beautiful?"
Du Caige touched his eyebrows helplessly.
Ouyang Lihai coughed and explained, "Director Yu Shan is a male, 29 years old, with a master's degree in the Beijing Film Directing Department. He has a rough appearance and likes big bowls of wine and meat."
Duan Xiaochen was relieved.
She added: "Actually, I have contacted several directors through personal relationships, and some of them do not reject joining us. Meng Zhaolong, do you know me, brother?"
Du Caige nodded: "I have seen his movies, and he is a good director. I remember he is only in his 30s. Although he is not the most famous batch in the new generation, his basic skills are very solid."
He remembered that Meng Zhaolong was good at capturing the emotions of characters, and he was good at using color to contrast. He had the feeling of Laomouzi when he was young, but it seemed to be more commercial than Laomouzi's films.
It's just that Meng Zhaolong has never made a big investment, and he has always been playing small things. I don't know if he can handle a big production.
Not sure if this person can make a good commercial masterpiece with big investment.
"He's just not very lucky, he can't always get good scripts, and he can't get big investment. He has been making some tepid low-budget movies and TV series. If he's lucky enough to come across a few good scripts and get investment, It may not be impossible to catch fire. Is he willing to join?"
Duan Xiaochen smiled brightly: "It depends on you."
"Look at me?"
Duan Xiaochen nodded: "He is your fan."
"?" Du Caige raised his eyebrows, a little surprised, and seemed a little dumbfounded.
"He's your book fan," Duan Xiaochen explained. "When I talked to him on the phone, he said that he ordered all your books and bought all the physical books."
"That's right."
"He is willing to join us, and in principle, he is willing to sign a four-year and four-movie brokerage contract, but he requires that one of them be the big movie "Zhu Xian", and he also wants to make a "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", so he can choose only one of them. Take a roll."
Her beautiful eyes stared at Du Caige.
She knew that Du Caige actually wanted to direct "Zhu Xian" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
Du Caige weighed it, nodded and said, "I'm fine here."
Du Caige really wants to direct "Zhu Xian" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
But there are so many movies he wants to direct.
He also wants to direct "The Legend of Sword and Fairy." I also want to direct "Romance of the Dragon and Snake", and shoot the Chinese movie universe and the Honghuangliu movie universe.
I also want to remake "The Matrix", "Inception", "Broken Ball" and "Three-Body Problem" to reinterpret such classic sci-fi movies from his perspective.
Isn't there a saying called "no science fiction, no director"?
How can you have the energy to shoot every one?
So definitely let some out.
If this Meng Zhaolong is willing to sign a brokerage contract with the company, it would be good to hand over "Zhu Xian" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to him.
"But the ugly words are in the front. First of all, he has to make two commercial films to prove himself. I don't ask for a high return on investment. If he can make a small profit, he will be qualified. IPs like "Zhu Xian" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" are created. It’s not easy, and you can’t trust anyone else.”
"We will negotiate with him and write this into the contract." Ouyang Lihai said in a businesslike manner.
"In addition, we still have to find a way to attract one or two big directors, and then pull in a few big companies to make large-scale movies. This is the fastest way to build the company's reputation." Xu Liang suggested.
Signing up new directors and producing a large number of low-cost movies for these new directors to practice is more for future considerations, but also to build and train their own distribution system.
And big production is really the only way to establish a company's status.
There is nothing wrong with Xu Liang's statement.
The young man in his thirties looked at the two executive directors expectantly.
As a content production-based entertainment company.
Once production starts, their creative and production department is definitely the most powerful department.
Especially if you start filming, a big production with an investment of 3 to 500 million yuan.
At that time, a lot of funds will flow from their hands, and all kinds of beauties and small students will come to them to worship the pier.
Although they don't directly control the crew, if Dream Dream Entertainment casts a big production, it's no problem for the director of the production department and the deputy director of film and television to name a producer, assistant producer, etc.
If they meet a director with a softer personality, they can even justifiably intervene in all aspects of casting, budget, prop buying, hotel accommodation and so on.
Even if they have clean hands and feet and don't make money from it, they can easily get their qualifications, get familiar with big stars and big directors, and have a few small supporting roles by the way.
Therefore, the production department is actually very hopeful that the company can start a big production immediately.
Du Caige pondered for a moment and said, "You can get in touch, but that's the same thing, don't force it. Big production is actually a commercial operation. In this regard, we can only be cautious and cross the river by feeling the stones."
"My personal opinion is to wait for Rouzhi Investment to take the lead, join with Jiutian Media, Donglai Entertainment, etc. to invest together, hire a big director, and make a big production."
"Of course, if there is a suitable opportunity, we can also take the lead in this matter."
Duan Xiaochen pouted, a sly smile flashed in his eyes, "There is a suitable opportunity in front of you."
"what chance?"
"Shu Yihuan."
"He?" Du Caige was a little surprised.
There are many great directors who are branded.
But there are also some big directors who seem to be very independent since their debut. You can make a film for this, and you can make a film for that.
Because they have enough strength and confidence, they can live well without being attached to any big company.
Shu Yihuan is like this.
He has his own studio, and since his debut, he has never signed a brokerage contract with any big company.
The big director is good at action films and martial arts films. Du Caige and Liu Zifei went to the cinema to watch his films.
