Chapter 232 Annual Meeting, Director Jiang is so angry!

January 20, afternoon.

Jin Yong's martial arts drama "The Journey", produced by Century Films and starring Wu Jian and Zuo Xiaoqing, was filmed in Lanzhou and other places for more than five months and finally wrapped up successfully in Wusu Film City.

Compared with the excitement during the filming of CCTV's version of "The Swordsman", Century Film and Television's "The Heroes" was very low-key.

Although the later stage of the drama "The Heroes" has not yet been completed, because it is a remake of Jin Yong's novel and a TV series produced by Century Pictures, the broadcast rights have already been sold for 15.5 million yuan.

Because the actor Wu Jian and the heroine Zuo Xiaoqing had previously played the second male lead and the second female lead, the two of them teamed up for this drama, which was not well received by everyone.

Moreover, the original novel of "Xia Ke Xing" only has a total of 400,000 words, and Wang Xinmin filmed the TV series into 40 episodes. This can easily make people suspect that the TV series is filled with water.

However, excluding the production cost of more than 10 million yuan, the movie "Xia Ke Xing" did not lose money and earned nearly 5 million yuan for Century Pictures.

Wang Xinmin, the director of the play, also revealed to reporters who came to visit the team: "The filming work has been successfully completed. It will be transferred to Yanjing for post-production this week. It will be broadcast simultaneously on TV stations in various provinces and cities across the country in May next year."

Two days later, in the evening.

Wang Xinmin returned to Yanjing with Wu Jian and other main creative staff of the "Xia Ke Xing" crew.

In order to express support and encouragement, Jiang Xiaofeng, the producer, specially booked a hotel and held a grand closing banquet to reward all the creative staff of "Xia Ke Xing".

Jiang Xiaofeng is an actor himself and has also filmed movies such as "The Swordsman". He knows that it is not easy for the actors and the staff in front and behind the scenes. The filming has been very hard in the past few months.

Therefore, Jiang Xiaofeng took out 300,000 yuan of the 5 million yuan in income from the drama "The Heroes" as rewards, and awarded them to more than 100 creative staff at the finals banquet.

Although when more than 100 people were divided, the most each person received was 3,000 yuan, and the least was only 1,000 yuan, but it was also an unexpected income for everyone.

"Director Jiang is really speechless!"

"I'm just saying, follow Director Jiang and you will have meat to eat!"

"It doesn't matter if the singing is nice, the key person is still very generous!"

"..."

And Jiang Xiaofeng's generous move also made everyone's favor towards him soar.

As a leader and boss, Jiang Xiaofeng is quite down-to-earth. As the Chinese New Year is coming soon, he doesn't talk to everyone so much and just rewards everyone with real money.

Who doesn’t like a boss like this?

Because Jiang Xiaofeng is not only the boss, but also a famous singer in the music industry, and he is very approachable in private. Therefore, at the closing banquet, many staff took the opportunity to take photos with him.

Originally this behavior was not allowed, but Jiang Xiaofeng was in a good mood and didn't say anything. He generously agreed to everyone's request, fulfilling almost every staff member's wish.

Deng Jiajia, the actress who played the swordsman in the drama "Xia Ke Xing", was also the aunt in "Love Apartment". Although she is only 17 years old, she likes Jiang Xiaofeng very much and has listened to him since elementary school.

Song, and mustered up the courage to take a photo with Jiang Xiaofeng.

Jiang Xiaofeng saw that Deng Jiajia was pretty, especially her figure. She didn't look like a 17-year-old girl at all, so she smiled and asked, "My little sister is good at acting. Have you ever thought about becoming an actress when you grow up?"

Suddenly being asked by Jiang Xiaofeng's name, Deng Jiajia looked flattered, and then nodded shyly and happily: "Yes, I have thought about it."

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and replied: "If you don't have any filming in the future, you can come to me."

Hearing Jiang Xiaofeng's words, Deng Jiajia couldn't believe her ears and said gratefully: "Okay, Director Jiang, thank you, Director Jiang,"

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled and replied: "I think you are very compatible. From now on, don't call me Director Jiang. Just call me Brother Xiaofeng."

Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng who doted on him so much, Deng Jiajia felt like he was in a dream. He glanced at Jiang Xiaofeng in disbelief, and then shyly called "Brother Xiaofeng."

By the way, the relationship between director Wang Xinmin and the bearded Zhang Jizhong was quite tense because of the movie "The Swordsman".

Because at the beginning, when Yangma was preparing to invest in "The Swordsman", she was very cautious about the director she chose, and one of them was Wang Xinmin.

In 1999, Wang Xinmin directed "Swallow Li San", which was a great success and was bought by Yangma for the rights to broadcast. When "The Swordsman" was about to start filming, Wang Xinmin was the director's first choice.

Unfortunately, various changes occurred later, and the director of "The Swordsman" was finally decided to be Huang Jianzhong, and the bearded Zhang Jizhong was the producer of the show.

In this way, Wang Xinmin left the "Swordsman" crew with his team.

However, Wang Xinmin's ambition to compete in the world has not disappeared. Due to financial problems, he can only turn his attention to the relatively cold "Xia Ke Xing" in Jin Yong's novel.

Prior to this, there were only Mok Shaocong's TV series shot in Taiwan in 1985, and Tony Leung Chiu-wai's TV series in Hong Kong in 1989.

In addition, almost no directors are willing to touch this unpopular novel.

Wang Xinmin asked around, but no one was willing to invest. Originally, he was unwilling to approach Jiang Xiaofeng because Jiang Xiaofeng was going to collaborate with Zhang Jizhong on "Swordsman". However, after a friend's recommendation, he approached Jiang Xiaofeng for investment.

When he learned that Wang Xinmin was going to remake "Knight's Journey", Jiang Xiaofeng was very happy. Not only did he spend 800,000 yuan to buy the film and television adaptation rights of "Knight's Journey", but he also invested 10 million in filming the drama "Knight's Journey."

However, compared with "The Swordsman" in which CCTV invested more than 40 million, the investment of 10 million in "Xia Ke Xing" is still slightly less.

In fact, Jiang Xiaofeng was also afraid of losing money, because the drama "Xia Ke Xing" was indeed relatively unpopular and it was difficult to sell it at a high price, so he only invested 10 million and did not dare to invest more.

But even so, Wang Xinmin still overcame various difficulties and led the team to complete the filming of "Xia Ke Xing" all the way.

Moreover, Wang Xinmin is full of confidence in this drama and feels that his film "Xia Ke Xing" will not lose to Huang Jianzhong's "The Swordsman".

Of course, if it weren't for Jiang Xiaofeng starring in the CCTV version of "Swordsman", Wang Xinmin would have wanted to start complaining directly.

But no matter what happened, Jiang Xiaofeng was his financial backer after all. He treated himself well and paid great attention and care to the entire "Xia Ke Xing" team. Wang Xinmin had to swallow the curse words back in his mouth.

Because Century Film and Television Company was in the process of recruiting people, Jiang Xiaofeng also told Wang Xinmin that the movie "Xia Ke Xing" was selling very well, at least he did not lose money. He also hoped that Wang Xinmin could join Century Film and Television Company and become a member of the Century Group.

Wang Xinmin did not make a decision immediately, but said to Jiang Xiaofeng: "Director Jiang, please let me go back and think about it carefully. After all, this is not my business alone. I have a large group of brothers and sisters in my team."

Jiang Xiaofeng replied: "Well, okay, I know you have your difficulties, and I understand them, but we in Century can't accept everyone. I hope you can bring the key members of your team to join us.

company,"

Wang Xinmin did not hesitate and replied directly: "Director Jiang, I know you are a straightforward person, and I will not beat around the bush with you. You and I will take some time to think about it, and I will try to tell you my answer before the Lantern Festival."

Jiang Xiaofeng nodded: "Okay, that's settled,"

Because the Chinese New Year was coming soon, Jiang Xiaofeng held an annual meeting at Century Film and Television Company and Century Record Company respectively in the next two days.

The annual meeting held by Jiang Xiaofeng mainly commends employees for their work achievements in the past year. The other is also at the annual meeting to deploy major projects and plans for the coming year.

In order to cheer up everyone, Jiang Xiaofeng spent 200,000 in cash and raffled off gifts to employees at two annual meetings, which made everyone call him "tacky".

In addition, Jiang Xiaofeng also spent 2 million yuan to give bonuses to the major team members of Century Film and Television Company and Century Records Company, based on the level of income.

For example, for the sale of the movie "Oolong", Jiang Xiaofeng spent 500,000 yuan, and the director's bonus was distributed in ascending order to the lowest.

As for the main creative members of the drama "Hero", they also received a year-end bonus of 300,000 yuan.

…

As the saying goes, wealth gathers and people disperse, and people disperse and wealth gathers. Jiang Xiaofeng is still willing to give money to everyone. Of course, the premise is that your results must be popular. If the movie you film does not make money, you can only give some money at most.

Consolation prize, don’t think about anything else.

As the team continues to grow, things become more and more complicated. Jiang Xiaofeng also plans to recruit more management talents to solve his own problems.
