Millennium director

It has been more than half a year since Guangying Times was upgraded from a leather bag company to a formal company, and employees in various positions of the company have been gradually in place.

Although there were not many people, including the more than 20 crew members who had signed contracts with the company, there were only more than 50 people, but Wu Yuan still rented the two-story office building in one go.

The first floor is mainly used by employees and is divided into cubicles. Each employee has his or her own office area.

On the second floor, there are large office rooms such as conference rooms, reception rooms, lounges, and the general manager's office.

At this time, all the actors who came to audition for "If Love" were waiting in the reception room. Zhang Guorong, along with his assistant director and the producer arranged by the company, went to the conference room to audition.

Originally, Wu Yuan was supposed to be one of the audition officers.

However, instead of interviewing actors with him, he now entertained Cai Yinong from Tangren Film and Television in his office.

I have to say that there are really very few ugly people in the entertainment industry.

Even Cai Yinong, who works as a behind-the-scenes producer, is very beautiful and looks a bit like Liu Shishi.

Wu Yuan actually met Cai Yinong in his dream. At that time, he was just an assistant director, and Cai Yinong had also gained weight, and he was as fat as two people now.

But as she is only in her early thirties and has not gained weight yet, she would definitely be considered a beauty on the street.

"Director Wu, I have long admired your name!"

"You are the leader among our Chinese directors. I have watched every one of your movies and like them very much, especially "Juno"..."

"Thank you so much for inviting us, Sun Li, to star in "The Embalmer"..."

The meeting between the two started with Cai Yinong's flattery. Wingdings: ♦︎♦︎⬧︎♦︎◆︎⌧︎♦︎♦︎□︎❍︎

Cai Yinong originally came from the film industry. In the 1990s, she planned to set up a film company in Hong Kong Island. Although it was not completed in the end, when she returned to the mainland to start Tangren Film and Television, she also wanted to make films from the beginning, and she wanted to break into the film industry. market.

Therefore, he admired Wu Yuan, a successful director, from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time he was very envious of him.

If we can get on the line with this person, then the Tang people won’t be allowed to take off?

Look how chic Huayi is now after catching up with Feng Xiaogang!

When Wu Yuan asked her to talk, Cai Yinong, of course, gave Wu Yuan a high hat first, and the kind words came out of his mouth as if he didn't want money.

Of course, Wu Yuan is not a young brother who is just starting out, and he will be in high spirits after a few compliments from Cai Yinong.

He also greeted with a smile on his face:

"Manager Cai, you Tang people have been very prosperous in the field of TV drama production in recent years!"

"'Two Prides', 'Legend of Heaven and Earth', 'The Female Generals of the Yang Clan', 'Books and Swords' and 'The Unparalleled' are all TV series with very high ratings!"

The TV series cited by Wu Yuan are all excellent TV series created by Tangren in the past five years since its establishment.

This is all due to Cai Yinong’s years of hard work in Hong Kong Island, her accumulation of numerous contacts and resources, and her keen judgment on the market environment.

And her "good wife" director Li Guoli.

Cai Yinong and Li Guoli met in 1993, when she was only 22 years old.

Five years later, in 1998, Cai Yinong and Li Guoli reached a consensus and moved to the mainland to jointly establish the company "Tangren" and served as the general manager. Li Guoli served as the production director, with each holding 50% of the shares.

The division of labor between the two is very clear. Cai Yinong is in charge of planning, management, publicity and casting, while Li Guoli is in charge of film and television production.

In another five years, Tangren has created a number of high-quality TV series with explosive ratings and excellent reputations.

These dramas achieved the worst results and became popular in mainland China. The best ones even became popular in Singapore and Malaysia.

However, the leading actors in these TV series are all Hong Kong and Taiwan stars.

"Detective Kelan" produced by Tang Dynasty used all mainland actors, and the ratings were much lower.

It is also because of this that the people of Tang Dynasty decided that the actors from Hong Kong and Taiwan should be Honghua, and the mainland actors should be cast like Luye.

In the first five years since its establishment, Tangren has been accumulating works and gaining recognition from the audience through this cast configuration, and now it has achieved a certain degree of popularity.

Judging from the current situation, Tangren is definitely a film and television company with high-quality assets, good operations, and a bright future.

In another year or two, the company will reach its true peak.

It was also because of this that Wu Yuan wanted to take action as soon as possible, otherwise it would be difficult to do so!

"However, I remember the full name of your company. It's Tangren Film International Co., Ltd., right?"

Wu Yuan looked at Cai Yinong with a half-smile, and asked with some emotion: "Isn't it difficult to make a movie?"

Yes, don't look at Tang Ren now and in the future, it is famous for producing TV series.

But in fact, when this company was founded, it was focused on making movies.

Li Guoli is a director with a background in filmmaking, and Cai Yinong also started out in the film industry!

In the year when Tangren was founded, the first project it worked on was a movie called "Spring Breeze in Westgate".

This is a co-production film, co-produced by Tang Dynasty and Shanghai Film Studio under the shell of its Hong Kong branch.

Then this movie was a hit, and it took five years for people in the Tang Dynasty to dare not touch the film field again.

Wu Yuan now mentioned Tang Ren's failure in the film field, which made Cai Yinong's expression stiffen for a moment.

However, she adjusted in an instant, "Director Wu, what do you mean by mentioning this?"

Wu Yuan still maintained his faint smile: "I just want to ask, does Tangren still want to continue making movies?"

"Now the mainland's film production market has been liberalized, and film production companies such as Huayi, Bona, Shanhai, and Lingyue have sprung up abroad."

"Don't people in Tang Dynasty have any ideas in this regard?"

I have an idea!

Why don't you have any ideas?

Cai Yinong sighed in his heart, but what could he do if he had an idea.

Now that Tangren has finally gained a foothold in the field of TV dramas, what it needs to do is to expand its market in the field of TV dramas, rather than blindly open up the film industry.

Even though movies and TV series are both film and television, the gap between the two is terrifyingly large.

No matter now or in the future, those who make TV series and those who make movies will never be in the same circle.

So even though he really wanted to make a movie, Cai Yinong's rationality still prevailed.

She considered it and said: "For the time being, Tang Ren will continue to work hard in the field of TV dramas and delve into the TV drama market."

“As far as movies are concerned, I have more than enough ambition but not enough energy.”

"Oh?" Wu Yuan raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

No wonder the Tang people will reach their peak in the next five years. The leader of the Tang people in front of them has very clear ideas and clear decisions!

Wu Yuan was so tempted, and he obviously wanted to bring Tang Ren into the film industry, but there were no conditions. Cai Yinong refused to step into this trap.

It doesn't matter.

The smile on Wu Yuan's face did not change.

He also has plan B!

"That's it." Wu Yuan's tone was still relaxed, and he asked again like a casual chat: "By the way, the two newcomers that Mr. Cai brought today are the newly signed actors from Tang Dynasty, right?"

"Do you, Tangren, plan to expand your operations in the area of ​​artist management?"

Cai Yinong was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Wu Yuan meant by this. After thinking about it, there was nothing he couldn't say, and then he said, "I have a plan in this regard."

now it's right.

Wu Yuan nodded: "But Tangren can't use film resources to cultivate its artists, right?"

"Mr. Cai, we can still cooperate."

Cai Yinong was a little moved, "How to cooperate?"

"My film company will produce at least two movies every year for the next five years, but my company has not signed any actors."

"It's hard to find good actors. Look at Guorong's "If Love" this time. We just had an audition like this."

"It would be much more convenient if there was a professional actor agency that could provide us with excellent actors."

Wu Yuan looked at Cai Yinong with burning eyes: "Perhaps actors under Tang Dynasty can help me share my worries?"

"What are the conditions?" Cai Yinong's expression remained unchanged. All benefits must be exchanged for a price.

Wu Yuan smiled and said crisply: "Mr. Cai, do you want to sell Tang Ren's shares?"
