Chapter 803 803. Allocating resources (Part 2) (Happy New Year's Eve to all book friends!)
The scene where the two were fighting had no impact other than some chuckles in the conference room. After all, this kind of competition was too common.
After these two reached their respective camps, they were immediately asked by their colleagues.
"Lao Yuan, what kind of conflict did you have with Lin Xiang on the other side? Did you win or not?"
"Needless to say, how can that kid be my opponent? Let him be proud for a while. I am well prepared today and will definitely win Mr. Nie to our side." Yuan Shuai straightened his tie and replied. As my colleague said, he did not forget to stare fiercely at Lin Xiang across the conference table.
Lin Xiang, not to be outdone, stared at Yuan Shuai.
"Just watch, when Mr. Nie arrives, the guys in the TV drama production department opposite will be completely dumbfounded." Lin Xiang said through gritted teeth.
Lin Xiang has been ridiculed so harshly by the TV drama production department recently. He has been holding in his boss's anger. Now the chance to turn over has finally come. Of course, this anger cannot be easily released as a P. Even if it is released as a P, Also put it in the other person's face.
Just when the two of them were quarreling with their eyes, almost making people around them think that they were about to have unusual feelings, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open. Looking at the few people who walked in, Lin Xiang and Yuan Shuai didn't react at all. When he came over, he immediately withdrew his gaze and sat upright. He looked like a good student or a red-flowered boy.
In fact, the executives present were all similar to them. No one dared to show a disrespectful attitude in front of these bosses, even the most casual people would not do so on such occasions.
Wang Zhonglei sat on the main seat, looking at the energy displayed by these company backbones at this time, and smiled with satisfaction.
Nie Wei sat in the first position to the left of Wang Zhonglei. Normally this position belonged to Zhao Lei, but when Nie Wei came, Zhao Lei would sit on the right.
It’s not because of any importance on status, but mainly because Wang Zhonglei is left-handed, so he is used to talking to the left. When Nie Wei is present at a meeting, Wang Zhonglei’s first choice is usually to discuss things with Nie Wei.
Then several vice presidents of the company sat down, and one woman stood out in particular. She was Luo Yuan, who had been Nie Wei's assistant.
For this woman who rose from assistant to vice president of the company in just a few years, she is simply the idol of all female employees in the company and the goddess of male employees.
At first, some people speculated whether Luo Yuan got a pass to climb up from Nie Wei through some improper means, but the transcripts she has handed over over the years have made these claims untenable. Luo Yuan It is true that Nie Weiwei pushed her to the top position, but her efforts cannot be ignored.
"The theme of today's meeting is still the three books mentioned last time. First of all, we will announce the first news. Starting from tomorrow, the company will officially launch the filming plan of the first "Ghost Blowing Lamp" in the ancient city, with an estimated investment of 100 million taels. Ten million.”
The first thing I heard Wang Zhonglei announce was the approval of the movie "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: The Ancient City". Everyone in the film production department looked very motivated, especially when they heard that the investment was expected to be 100 million taels. At this time, Hu Sheng, as the head of this department, blushed with excitement.
"Mr. Wang, leave this project to me and I will ensure that it is completed beautifully. Mr. Nie, you can rest assured that I will use the best team to create your work and ensure that the film produced will restore the world you wrote to the greatest extent." ”
Hu Sheng patted his chest and assured that he could tell that the company really had great expectations for this movie. Such an investment would be considered a big production in China.
And this is only the estimated investment, which has already reached 120 million. Under normal circumstances, a certain amount of additional funds will be added later, and the shooting cost of this movie may even reach 150 million or even 200 million.
The key point is that this is only the first part of this series. If it is successful, movies in this series will continue to be filmed. As the current director of the film production department, as long as this series of movies continues to be successful, then his contribution will also be endless. Continuously, it can be said to be of great help to him to take a step forward in the future.
"I want you to formally complete the preparatory work for this film before March." Wang Zhonglei quickly gave further instructions to the film production department.
Upon hearing this time, the directors of the film production department looked a little stressed. You must know that it is almost February, and Wang Zhonglei asked them to complete the preliminary preparations in March, leaving them only one month to prepare. That’s all.
Preparing the crew and filming were all easy, but there was one problem that made them very difficult, and that was the problem of adapting the script.
"Mr. Wang, I can guarantee anything else, but as for the script, it depends on the progress of the screenwriter." Hu Sheng looked a little embarrassed. It is really difficult to guarantee time for script creation, even if it is adapted from a story. , but obviously it is not something that can be accomplished easily.
Sometimes the screenwriter's ideas get stuck, and it's not impossible that he can't write a word for ten and a half days.
"I have already written the script, you just need to find the right director and actors." At this moment, Nie Wei, who had been sitting silently, suddenly said: "After a while, the meeting will be dismissed, Luo Kai will give the script here you are."
"Yes, I promise to complete the task." Hu Sheng's expression was full of surprise. Not only was the problem that embarrassed him solved, but the key was that this was a movie script written by Nie Wei. It was so worth looking forward to.
His colleagues had similar expressions to his at this time. Within Huayi Company, Nie Wei's script was the best guarantee of quality. Even before they saw it, they had already concluded that it would be another top-notch script.
"The film production department has been undertaking such an important task recently. It must be done well. Remember, focus on every link and don't be sloppy on the details. Our company is going to make a series of this work, and the first part must be given to the audience. A sense of quality.”
"Understood, I will personally supervise every aspect of the film preparation." Hu Sheng replied seriously.
"Yes." Wang Zhonglei nodded and looked at Hu Sheng with admiration. He still trusted this veteran who joined the company early.
After talking about the movie, Wang Zhonglei began to focus on the people in the TV series production department and the online drama production department, especially Lin Xiang and Yuan Shuai as the leaders of both parties.
When Wang Zhonglei's gaze swept over them, everyone's backs straightened unconsciously.
"Next, Nie Wei will announce who owns the rights to adapt the series." When Wang Zhonglei spoke, Nie Wei was already adjusting the microphone in front of him.
"First of all, regarding the adaptation of "Zhu Xian", after careful consideration, I decided to hand it over to the TV drama production department. The entire work is expected to be shot for 60 episodes. I have already created the outline of the script, but the specific details of the plot need to be worked out by the company's screenwriters. After each episode is completed, it will be reviewed by me personally. If the TV series has more than ten episodes, it will be officially approved."
Hearing Nie Wei's announcement that "Zhu Xian" would be produced by his department, Yuan Shuai was overjoyed. Of course, he also secretly glanced at Lin Xiang, who was facing a pale face.
Lin Xiang understood the meaning in that proud look immediately. Yuan Shuai must be thinking in his heart: Old rival, I am one step ahead in this competition.
"As for "Nirvana in Fire", it will also be completed by the TV series production department. This TV series is expected to produce fifty-five episodes..."
Lin Xiang paled when he heard that the second work was also handed over to the TV drama production department. With two works, he originally thought that the online drama production department would get at least one, but he did not expect that all of them would be picked up by the TV drama production department. The whole thing was taken away, and now all that's left is "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
However, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has already been confirmed as a film project. Will the company choose not to adapt this work into a TV series for the time being, fearing that the TV series will take away the popularity of the movie? If that were the case, wouldn't it mean that he was trying to get nothing out of a bamboo basket? Yesterday was really just a dream.
Just when Lin Xiang felt that his heart was so nervous that it would stop beating, Nie Wei finally spoke again.
"The first part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", "The Ancient City", has been handed over to the online drama production department for production. Twenty-five episodes are expected to be shot..." Nie Wei glanced at Lin Xiang and announced.
Hearing Nie Wei's words, Lin Xiang's pale face suddenly regained its color. Fortunately, they did not all fail. At least there is still one "Ghost Blowing Lamp" to shoot. Although it is only a twenty-five-episode production, it is better than anything else. It's not strong, not to mention this is "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".
Of course, compared with the TV drama production department that has received two major productions and the number of episodes shot is more than fifty, the resources of the web drama seem a bit pitiful.
"That guy Yuan Shuai is really a villain. Look at how proud he was when the meeting was dissolved just now. What an air."
"Don't be sour. Who told the TV drama production department to get the production rights for two works?"
"Hey, when will our online drama be successful?"
"Stop sighing, didn't we get the project?" Lin Xiang, who had been sitting silently, saw the atmosphere in the office and finally stood up. He was afraid that if he didn't speak again, these guys would directly attack him. Yuan Shuai's group surrendered and admitted defeat.
""Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is the most outstanding project our web drama department has received since its establishment. Don't be dissatisfied and take it step by step. I believe Mr. Nie means the same thing. Twenty-five episodes is indeed not long, but we It can be produced more exquisitely, and who said that only good TV series can be produced by the director? We will use twenty-five episodes of the TV series to prove ourselves that we will not be worse than the people in the TV series production department. Do you have confidence in this! ?”
"Yes." The employees of the online drama production department present loudly replied, but some of them were not neat enough.
"Say it again, do you have confidence!?"
"Yes!!!" As Lin Xiang asked loudly again, this time the employees answered more neatly and louder.
Obviously, no one wants to admit that they are inferior to others, not to mention that those who can enter Huayi are all top talents. Most of them are influential figures in the school, and they are basically the masters who are unwilling to be inferior to others.
So Lin Xiang's words completely hit their hearts and aroused all their energy, and they were bound to compete with the people in the TV series production department.
"Lin Xiang, what you said is very good." Suddenly a voice sounded at the door. With everyone's stunned expressions, Nie Wei led Luo Kai into the office of the online drama production department.
"Mr. Nie, why are you here? No, look at what I said. It's our honor for you to inspect our department." Lin Xiang was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses and trotted over. Next to Nie Wei, Nie Wei was greeted with a smile.
"I want to have a chat with you. Everyone, sit down." Nie Wei said. When he entered the door just now, everyone in the office subconsciously stood up to greet Nie Wei.
After everyone sat down, Nie Wei signaled Luo Kai to close the office door, and then smiled and said to everyone: "You must have some complaints in your heart. You feel that the company has given more resources to the TV drama production department, which is a bit unfair to you, right?"
"Uh, no, no, Mr. Nie, you misunderstood. How could our staff have emotions about the company's decision?" Lin Xiang's face turned pale when he heard this, and he quickly stood up to smooth things over, fearing that Nie Wei had heard what he had just said and thought that the employees had emotions about the company, which was not good.
Although he knew that everyone, including himself, did have emotions, this could only be a private matter, and of course he couldn't bring it to the boss.
"Lin Xiang, don't be nervous. It's right to have emotions. Not having emotions means that you are willing to muddle through. I think it's better to disband such a department directly." Nie Wei's words made everyone at the scene stunned, and they were obviously confused by the meaning of Nie Wei's words.
"Lin Xiang, I told you before in the car that your web drama production department is special, right?" Nie Wei turned to ask Lin Xiang. After the latter came back to his senses from the shock, he nodded quickly, and at the same time he felt a little bitter in his heart. It was this sentence that made him have the illusion that Nie Wei would vigorously support the web drama production department.
As a result, today, they were slapped in the face. The TV drama production department received two big productions, while their web drama production department only received a small production of 25 episodes. The number of episodes alone is more than four times that of theirs. This gap is really too big.
"Twenty-five episodes are indeed a bit small for domestic TV dramas other than idol dramas nowadays, but have you ever thought that you are only shooting the first part of "Ghost Blowing Light". Since the movie has to be made into a series, have you ever thought that the TV series of "Ghost Blowing Light" should also be made into a series?" Nie Wei asked all the employees of the web drama production department with a smile.
Following his words, the staff present, including Lin Xiang, had eyes that were like burning firewood, which became brighter and brighter, and finally their eyes were full of fire.
