Rebirth Starts From 2006
Chapter 771 Making a phone call
The script is not good?
Huang Shan and Zou Rong looked at each other and said in unison,
"You can tell fortunes?!"
Huang Shan just said that before a movie is released, no one can be sure whether it will be a hit or a hit. Why can you tell it not by just hearing the name and a simple plot summary?
It would be possible for an experienced film and television person to make a judgment, but how could Boss Chen, a layman, understand this?
In front of his own people, Chen Yang didn't hide it at all. He leaned back on the chair, shrugged and said,
"What about fortune telling? I don't understand filming, but in my opinion, this film and television drama is just like business, there are routines to follow.
What do you watch in a play? It’s nothing more than two things, plot and characters, and plot also includes two parts: theme and story.
If the subject matter is novel, the story is well designed, the characters have their own characteristics, whether they are lovable or hateful, and a group of actors with acting skills can interpret the characters well, there will be no limit to how bad the drama can be.
The rest is just a matter of market acceptance;
But when Lao Liu talked about the dozen or so dramas just now, you also heard them. First of all, the names are clichéd, and the plots are even more clichéd.
Whether it's an urban modern drama or a costumed martial arts drama, it's either love and love, or love and love, a love triangle within a love triangle, as if you can't film a movie without talking about love.
Do you think this kind of drama is okay? "
Hearing Chen Yang's words, Huang Shan raised her eyebrows thoughtfully.
Zou Rongze rolled her eyes slightly and asked with a hint of confusion, "But Mr. Liu also said just now that these scripts were finalized after several rounds of screening, and many of them were projects recommended by peer companies. He also thought it was okay.
Don't they understand this? "
One is a pure layman, and the other is an old man who has been working in the film and television industry for many years. Could it be that you, a layman, know better than those experienced old men?
Or are those peer companies digging holes for Damai Culture?
Reaching out and touching Zou Rong's little head, Chen Yang chuckled and was about to speak.
At this time, Huang Shan suddenly said, "What the boss said does make sense. However, Lao Liu's choice and his colleagues' suggestions are not wrong. It can only be said that they have different perspectives."
Chen Yang turned to look at her, extended a thumb, and said with a smile, "Mr. Shan is Mr. Shan, she hits the nail on the head."
"snort,"
Huang Shan rolled her eyes at him and said disapprovingly, "What does this mean? You have already made it so clear. If I can't tell it anymore, am I fooling around in vain?!"
Zou Rong blinked her eyes in confusion, rolled her eyes twice, and suddenly thought of Chen Yang's words just now, and suddenly realized,
"Ah, I understand."
Chen Yang and Huang Shan both looked at her,
Zou Rong raised a finger and said seriously, "Boss Chen's perspective is based on the film and television drama itself, which requires novel themes, well-designed plots, and distinctive characters. The purpose is to produce a A good show,
However, Mr. Liu and other film and television companies have a different perspective. What they want is clichéd plots and popular characters, because these routines have been tested by the market.
The resulting work may not be a big hit, but it won’t be too bad either, which means it can guarantee profit with the lowest risk.”
He pointed at Chen Yang and said with a smile, "So, you just said that a good new movie has its limits no matter how poorly it is shot. The rest is just a matter of market acceptance.
And this market acceptance is an important factor that film and television companies have to consider! "
After she finished speaking, Chen Yang gave her a thumbs up with satisfaction and said with a smile,
"To be more precise, it is the primary factor that all film and television companies need to consider!"
The purpose of starting a company is to make money, and a film and television company is also a company. Producing a film and television series is of course also to make money.
On the one hand, there are traditional methods that have been tested by the market for a long time, which can guarantee making money, but there are just more or less problems.
On the other side, there is a completely new theme. It may cause a fire, or it may rush to grandma’s house.
How should the company choose?
Apart from those with deep pockets who are not afraid of losses, perhaps only film and television companies that have been forced into desperation dare to make a desperate move and invest in new types of works.
Therefore, Lao Liu's choice really cannot be wrong.
"Phew, that makes sense,"
Huang Shan tied her hair into a knot with her hands, rested her arms on the car window, shook her head and said, "Although we delegated the management rights to Lao Liu, Lao Liu is not the boss after all. He makes the decision to invest in film and television dramas, so he has to Considering the issue of return on investment,
The more novel the subject matter, the higher the market risk. Even with Damai's resources, there is a possibility that it will be in hand, or at least the price will be reduced. This will affect his performance.
After weighing the left and right, investing in those old-fashioned film and television dramas is indeed a safer choice. "
Chen Yang nodded slowly, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he said seriously,
"So, Lao Liu's choice can't be wrong. He can at least guarantee that the company will not lose money. Whether it is the few movies independently produced by Damai or the dozen movies in cooperation with other companies, they have all become popular in the past few years. Subject matter, profit is not a problem, he is also considering the interests of the company,
However, as a new company, Damai Culture has signed a group of new people. If we cannot produce a few hit movies and introduce a few first-line actors, even if we secure our position as the chief executive of a major entertainment platform in the future, we will not be able to do so. It’s inevitable that you won’t be ridiculed by your peers! "
Although, just like Hollywood follows the pace of Wall Street, both the entertainment industry and the literary and art circles hope to climb to the top of the capital world and make money, but since entering this industry, you have to come up with a few flagship products.
Otherwise, others will just think that you know nothing about your profession. As time goes by, there is no guarantee that they will not have other ideas.
At the very least, it is inevitable that people will be fooled up and down, and Boss Chen will also get the reputation of being taken advantage of.
This is not a good fruit!
Huang Shan naturally understood these logics. She pondered for two seconds and then asked,
"Now what?
The shooting plan for next year has been decided. There is no special reason, and it is difficult to reject Lao Liu's plan.
Moreover, according to their plan, the company will not lose money and may even make a profit.
The question now is, where do you want a good script from? "
After a pause, she curled her lips and shrugged, "We can't really wait for Lao Liu to do that variety show with good Chinese scripts to get results, right?!"
To be honest, regarding the two ideas proposed by Boss Chen, she still has some ideas about good Chinese actors.
It is nothing more than choosing a plot, letting the actors perform it, and then the judges will score and evaluate it. In this way, the fittest will survive, and the overall winner will be determined in the end.
But how to create a good Chinese script?
Just like the shooting plan set by Liu Hongbo, in the eyes of Boss Chen, it is a piece of shit, but in the eyes of major film and television companies, it is a guarantee of box office and ratings!
The angles are different, how do you evaluate it? !
It can't be the same as film awards, where one side makes a commercial movie and scores it from a market perspective, and the other side makes a literary movie and asks professionals to comment on it, right?
Even if Caihong Group is rich and doesn't care about tens of millions more investments, who can guarantee that the selected script will be a good film? !
When Huang Shan finished speaking, Chen Yang did not speak immediately.
He leaned back in his chair, squinting his eyes and thinking,
What popular movies and TV series are coming in the future?
Wolf Warrior 2?
Wu Jing's studio is affiliated with Damai Culture, and she is already half a Damai person. Sooner or later, she will be able to tinker with this drama.
However, the reason why this drama is so popular is still related to the market environment. It will definitely not work if it is too early. If the atmosphere is not set up properly, it will only blind the drama.
Only when the emotions of the famous people have accumulated to a certain level, then this drama will have a special effect.
Similar to Wolf Warrior, there are also operations such as Operation Red Sea,
besides,
Li Huanying?
Inappropriate, inappropriate!
Leaving aside the fact that such films have a large role in luck or have a profound impact on the social environment, there are really not many options to choose from.
The Monster Hunting Chronicles is just one, and there is also the appearance of Nezha, the devil boy.
However, the soul characters of these two films have not yet completed their creation, and they can only wait until they are looking for funds to join the game.
Wandering Earth is okay. Just two months ago, Changjiang Publishing House published this science fiction masterpiece.
But with today's special effects technology, if you want to achieve effective results, you have to spend huge sums of money.
And even if you do it regardless of the cost, the length of time to do it later is one thing, and whether the market environment can tolerate this drama is another thing.
Well,
We can only get the copyright first, and wait until the time is right before starting.
Besides these, what else is there?
Chen Yang leaned his head on the headrest, closed his eyes and thought hard.
After much deliberation, in addition to Lin Hao, who has been recruited by China Film Group, and Xing Ye, who produces a movie every few years, I find that I only remember a few movies of Happy Twist.
Damn it, I don’t have enough memory!
Huang Shan waited for a long time and saw that Boss Chen remained silent, so she knew that he was thinking of a solution.
After pondering for a few seconds, she suddenly raised her head and said,
"When you were setting up a large entertainment platform, you mentioned content creation. I asked the investment department to find some companies in this field and invested in several online literature creation websites.
Including Under the Banyan Tree established in 1997, Hongxiu Tianxiang established in 1999, Xiaoxiang Academy established in 2001, and the Starting Point established in 2002.
Listen to the leading website in online literature.
If you are looking for novel stories, you may be able to discover them from the top works of these websites. "
Hearing this, Chen Yang suddenly turned his face and looked at him,
Huang Shan saw his look and blinked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"Well,"
Chen Yang rolled his eyes slightly and asked softly, "The investment you are talking about, is it a shareholding or a wholly-owned acquisition?"
Huang Shan raised her eyebrows lightly and said matter-of-factly, "Of course it's an acquisition, and it's not much money. The total is less than one billion,"
After a pause, he added, "But it's not fully owned. According to the rules, we still left options for the founding team. In total, it should be a controlling capital injection."
Chen Yang smacked his lips, feeling that his lips were a little dry.
So, from now on, online literature will be my world? !
correct,
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that in the future, online articles going overseas will play a very important role in cultural promotion. Huang Shan's move will play a very important role in major entertainment platforms!
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yang nodded solemnly, "Okay,"
Just as he turned his head, he suddenly turned back and said to Huang Shan, who was about to speak, "I will ask someone to come up with a plan to integrate these websites and establish an online writing group company."
Hearing this, Huang Shan couldn't help but smile and said,
"I was just about to tell you, get up?"
Chen Yang squinted his eyes and said nonchalantly, "Okay, let's call it Yuewen."
"Reading literature? Reading literature?"
Huang Shan nodded slowly and said with a smile, "Originally, I was thinking, you must not give me a messy name, otherwise I would have to find Xiaoyu to rename myself. Now this one sounds pretty good.
Okay, let’s call it Yuewen. "
As a good best friend, Huang Shan of course knew that Qin Yu also liked reading novels. If Boss Chen chose a bad name, of course she would have to let Qin Yu correct it.
Anyway, at this time, Boss Chen didn’t dare to have any objections. It was better than giving a literary company a name that had no connotation at all!
Regarding Huang Shan's daily taunts, Boss Chen has been able to do it in his face.
He immediately waved his hand and said, "Now that we have Yuewen, you can ask someone to pick out a few leading works, and I will see if there are any that are suitable for adaptation. If it works, I will add a few more dramas to the filming plan next year."
Huang Shan was confident, nodded and said,
"Okay, I'll have someone take care of this later. I should be able to give you the information today."
Rainbow Group’s style of doing things is to do things quickly.
Each major website has its own database. Which works are popular and which ones have novel ideas are piled on the desks of editors.
If necessary, the documents can be sent over immediately. Just summarize them and give Boss Chen a choice.
In a few words, the group returned from Damai Culture to the Chen family courtyard where they usually live.
Entering the courtyard, Chen Yang stretched out and smiled at Huang Shan, "You just came out of seclusion and have been busy with me for a long time. It's better to take a shower early and have a good sleep. We'll talk about anything tomorrow."
Huang Shan looked at the sky and saw that night had slowly fallen. She raised her wrist to look at the time, then raised her head and smiled at Chen Yang,
"It's past five o'clock and almost six o'clock. According to my understanding of Xiao Yu, she has just gotten up at this time. Don't wait for tomorrow. You can call her now."
"What call?"
Chen Yang's eyes widened and he said angrily, "I have nothing to do to find her. Why should I call you? If you need something, you can call her."
"This is what you said,"
Huang Shan took a deep look at him. Under the smiling gaze of Zou Rong, she slowly took out her mobile phone, opened it and said,
"Okay, I'll tell Xiao Yu that Boss Chen has given her a task and arranged a program for her. If there is any dissatisfaction,..."
Before he finished speaking, the phone was snatched away by Boss Chen.
Chen Yang took it in front of him and took a look. Tsk, it's not unlocked yet.
He immediately threw it to Huang Shan.
Then he turned around and walked to the study room, raising his right hand and saying loudly, "Just call me. Why don't you just make a phone call? Just wait and see how I get Mr. Yu to come back and dance the sword!"
Huang Shan chuckled, looked at each other with Zou Rong, and walked hand in hand to the study.
