Gossip King

"Godmother." Gao Leng stretched out his hand to pull Sister Cai to sit on her own, and looked at Sister Cai: "I know you are doing me well, and I also know the current situation in China is like this."

The current situation in the imperial film and television industry can be summed up in one sentence, which is that bad films are piled up, but it is easy to make money.

The actor pays for the actor's salary and the advertising expenses brought by the fan. The director makes a profit. Does the screenwriter? Can I make a film without a screenwriter? By the way, there is another most profitable one, and that is the wave of people in the contracting scene. In the new version of Dream of the Red Chamber, there is a dreaming scene. In order to express the artistic conception, this scene cost more than five million.

There is no way, there is no money to shoot, this is the consensus of today's film and television circles.

But what is artistic conception?

Is the artistic conception really just the grandest scene, and is it the most popular actor? Obviously not.

The Empire still has good movies in recent years. It can be said that in terms of the number of good movies, it is absolutely repressive to win over Hong Kong and Taiwan. The domestic box office of big screens also dominates the world, but this does not mean that the Empire’s film and television industry dominates the world. Behind a good movie, there may be a hundred bad movies.

There are at most one or two good movies, TV series or movies in a year, and there may be hundreds of bad movies behind it.

The empire has money. In the past few years, the most important thing the empire has in all investment circles is money. Because of such a large influx of people to do film and television, take a look at the surroundings. Singers can be directors, dancers can be directors, and hosts can be directors. In China, you are a famous writer. If you don’t direct a movie, just follow As if not keeping up with the trend.

Guo Jingming and Han Han are both directors, right?

As a director, investing in film and television seems to have become a business with a particularly low threshold. Those films directed by Guo Jingming have a high box office, right? Does it look good? It's not easy to evaluate, I can only say that each has love. Some people who have some talents and film and television resources directly become directors, while others are just like Ouyang. Although they can't invest themselves, then I can invest money and invest in a bunch of films to make money.

Under such an environment, it is very difficult for good films to appear. If it weren’t for the high output of Empire’s film and television, the book would have a large volume. Otherwise, how can it be difficult to watch a few good films every year?

"There are only two domestic film and television companies that produce good films, the largest one," Gao Leng continued.

"Yes, the two are dominant." Sister Cai nodded: "But these two also invest in a lot of bad movies to make money. Everyone is doing business like this now."

"No, I will only make fine products." Gao Leng smiled lightly, confidently.

"How is it possible? There is no film and television company that can say that it only makes high-quality goods." Cai Jie retorted.

"So, this is where you can break through." Gao Leng's eyes were full of fighting spirit and wisdom. He lowered his voice and pointed at the group of people: "When everyone is investing in bad film money everywhere, one thing When I make money, I’m sure I’ve made a good profit, and I followed that, and I just made some small money, right."

Sister Cai nodded when she heard it. That's the reason. The empires like to follow suit when they do things. The hanging pot snack bar opened in the next door is very popular. A bunch of hanging pot snack bars came out immediately. Investing in the film and television industry to make money, immediately a bunch of people squeezed in to grab money.

"But my purpose is not just to make money. My purpose is different from them. I am a businessman, but I am also a cultural person. I have to do something with a lot of background. I am cold, not a second-hand dealer. Leng, Starlight Group only shoots high-quality films." Gao Leng's words certainly can't be shaken by anyone. He smiled and looked at Sister Cai, just looking at her.

Even if the man in front of me is an old man who has been in the film and television industry for decades, even if her eyes can see the fish in this muddy circle, Gao Leng has her own thoughts.

Sister Cai's expression is very subtle, both proud and worried about Gao Leng's lofty ambition.

"Now these days, people who come into the water of the film and television industry are all to make money. There are not many people like you who really only want to shoot fine products." Sister Cai frowned and shook her head: "But You have to know that if you make a boutique, you must cut off the interests of many people. First of all, these big names have entered your crew, and you have to cut off their own screenwriters, right?"

Gao Leng nodded.

"You might have to hire a well-known screenwriter and shoot according to the original work. This will cut off some of the director's ideas, right?" Cai sister asked again.

Gao Leng nodded again.

"If you make a boutique, then it may take half a year for someone else to make a TV series. You have to do at least one or two years for someone else to make a movie for three months. You may have another year or two for a movie, right?"

Gao Leng nodded again.

"When this film is finished, you have to do post-production special effects, dubbing, etc. Then you have to hire the best voice actors? Fine, fine stuff is all for them. The best voice actors in our empire are just four or five. Yeah, this is another lot of money, right?"

Gao Leng didn't speak, and took a sip of wine.

"In other words, you have worked hard and made two or three high-quality movies in a year or two. At least a few hundred million dollars will be spent before you can make a profit. And Ouyang spent two years in the past two years. 100 million, it is very likely to make back one billion." Sister Cai looked at Gao Leng, and this calculation was very clear: "Moreover, you have offended a large group of people, offended actors, offended directors, and wanted to be in this scene. Can you go on playing for someone who makes more money?"

Yes, why no one wants to make a fine film?

First of all, there is likely to be a case of applauding but not appealing. Secondly, junk films are especially easy to invite popular niche players, and the traffic is glamorous. Why? Because of the low requirements of junk movies, actors can change their lines, just like a domestic actress with an English name, the whole movie directly calls her the role of beauty, what acting is not acting, it’s not important, I shot this A beautiful face is the most important thing.

So actors like to play that kind of film, and the audience also watch that kind of film, after all, they have their idols.

What about premium movies? The requirements for actors are high. They are required to stay in the crew all day long. They are also required to not pick up other scenes and memorize lines when filming. How tired is this? If it is a production by a big-name film and television company, then the actors will definitely be rushing in. After all, such a big-name film and television company will definitely make other films, which is not to be offended. And the high-cold Starlight Group is not necessarily the case. For such a small film and television company, it will take a lot of effort to invite these powerful Buddhas.

Okay, I will shoot you. If I don't go out to pick up the show, I will concentrate on shooting your fine film. You can triple the reward for me.

And the other reason is that it is extremely difficult to turn over the capital of high-quality films. For high-quality films, the shooting is slow. If a shot is not good, you have to remake it. What is the most expensive thing? It’s to build the scene, one on the left and one on the right. This is all money.

"What if you make a high-quality film and the funds cannot be turned around? Then you have to cooperate with others, cooperate with others, and others invest money, then you will be required to catch up. Once you catch up, the film will become frizzy. . You don't have this strength now."

Sister Cai reminded.

Films with huge investments are often made by multiple companies working together, and financing is obtained, but those companies will also have requirements. It is still a trivial matter for your mistress to come in and play a guest role. It is bad news for the director to urge you to finish the filming soon. The most taboo of this kind of artistic creation is hurrying.

"Since I want to shoot fine products, I will definitely not cooperate with other companies." Gao Leng replied with certainty.

"It's difficult, kid, it's too difficult!" Cai Jie wanted to persuade again, Gao Liangliang waved her hand.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, just get through it."

"You don't need to be like this, right? If you want to make a high-quality film, you can make a high-quality film, and then shoot ten junk films, so that you have money and capital turnover." Sister Cai sees Gao Leng. , Stomped his feet in a hurry.

"No, what I want is a word of mouth." Gao Leng stood up, took a sip from the glass and looked at the group of people over there drinking.

"What reputation?"

"Xingguang Group must produce high-quality goods, and only high-quality goods." Gao Leng turned to look at Ms. Cai, and smiled confidently at the corners of his mouth: "In the Empire, as long as you mention high-quality films, the first thing that comes to mind is Starlight Group. What I want is this word of mouth."

This reputation has never been seen in the Empire.

There are foreign countries. When we talk about cartoons, we will mention Disney. The cartoons produced by Disney must be fine products, and the one that can compete with Disney is DreamWorks. They can spend several years or even more than ten years on making a film. , Always make every effort to make quality films.

And Empire, there is no such company.

Even the largest film and television company in the empire has produced a lot of bad films. The high-cold ambition is to become the only boutique film and television company in the empire.

"Sister Cai, just like several big domestic actors and actresses now, when people say, Yo, he is acting, it must be a good show. I hope that in the future, my film and television company will only produce movies, whether it is a TV series or a movie. Look, Yo, Starlight Group is out, it must be a good movie. What I want to do is this word of mouth. Not like them." Gao Leng pointed to the direction of those people: "They are to make money, and I, It is to build a media empire. This is the difference."

Sister Cai's hand shook slightly, she seemed to be feeling a little surging, but she still seemed to be worried.

"It's up to you." In the end, she waved her hand and sighed: "Your ambition is much larger than theirs. I don't know if you can achieve it, let's see. Anyway, I can help as much as possible."

"So, you don't need to ask Ou Ge to give me projects anymore. I won't take any of the projects he invested. If there is any good project, would you please give me a private one?" Gao Leng took the Cai sister. Haha said with a smile.

Sister Cai looked at Ou Yang, then at Gao Leng, and smiled faintly: "The young people of this year are very daring to fight. My two sons are both heroes, happy! Okay, I know. , You two are not the same way, I won’t talk about it in the future."

Speaking of this, Sister Cai stopped and looked at Gao Leng: "However, let me remind you that when you are still a newcomer in this business, they are all human beings. You will know when you really dive down to do things with them. The water in the middle is muddy.” She said, she pointed to Uzhi, and the other table in the distance was still the queen. The artists on the left and right were toasting with her: “Is this kid caught by you? Asleep?"

The topic turned a little fast, Gao Leng was stunned for a while.
