World-class directors in the entertainment industry
Chapter 483 California Highway Killer
The spring night is short and the sun rises high. From now on, the king will not go to court early.
Facing a woman whom he liked and was obsessed with, it was difficult for Qin Dong to control himself.
Time and time again, I fall into the gentle nest created by Taylor...
"Qin, you haven't shown up for a week. You're not working on the post-production of the movie? Are you not asking about your company's new movie? I have a check waiting to be given to you..."
A week later, when Qin Dong continued to chat with Taylor.
CAA president Martin Bob called.
After the phone was connected, Martin spoke suddenly without waiting for Qin Dong to say anything.
"Okay, Martin, I understand, that's it, see you at the company later."
Qin Dong understood instantly and counted immediately without talking nonsense.
You can't stay in Gentle Village for too long, it's easy for people to get lost.
How many men can keep a woman who is in line with their own tastes and whom men like very much, seeing the love in her eyes every day, and the indescribable things.
Otherwise, there would be no heroes who love beauties since ancient times, and the beacon fire plays on the princes.
This time it had been almost ten days, and Qin Dong knew that it was time for him to make some moves and get down to business.
"Honey, are you busy with work? Can I go with you?"
Although Taylor didn't hear the voice on the man's cell phone clearly, he understood what Qin Dong said, who was close at hand.
A smart woman doesn't stop a man, it's a business matter. Although she longs to stay at home with a man every day, she knows how to do it.
"Hmm...you want to go? Let's go together then. I asked you to do the soundtrack work for my new movie before, so you can get familiar with it. You are still a novice in this area..."
Qin Dong nodded, thought about it and agreed.
"Thank you, Honey, oh...wait for me, I'll go change clothes."
Taylor was overjoyed when he heard this, kissed Qin Dong fiercely, jumped up and went upstairs to change clothes.
...
Death Star Building.
CAA headquarters, Heishui Longqi Company, a building shared by the two companies.
"BOSS... At present, the crew of [Super Face Hacker] has been formed and all the preliminary work is ready. Today is the day when the actors are finalized. Take a look at the list. If there are no problems, the crew can set off this afternoon.
The shooting location will officially start shooting tomorrow.”
"These are crews formed by the company. They are all small-budget films under one million dollars. BOSS, let's take a look. What are the shortcomings of these films?"
Facing Qin Dong who suddenly came to the company, Caesar, as the current general manager of the company, was not surprised at all.
Instead, he was very sensible and reported it immediately.
"Have someone call Martin. Are all of these lists artists from CAA?"
After Qin Dong took the list, he casually gave instructions and did not take a serious look at the people on the list.
To be honest, he didn't know many of them, nor had he auditioned, so he had no idea how good these people's acting skills were.
"Yes, BOSS, most of the actors here are from CAA."
After Caesar answered, he got up and went out to tell the people below to call someone next door.
"[Forest Cabin], [Dark Shadow beside the Bed in the Middle of the Night], [California Highway Killer], they are all weird names."
Qin Dong did not look at the cast list of [Super Face Hacker]. Instead, he paid attention to the crew prepared by his company Heishui Longqi. But the names of these crews made Qin Dong speechless at a glance. These names were too low-grade.
It gives people a shoddy feeling, and you can tell what level of film it is without even watching it.
"Wow, these names, Honey, I guess this is a movie that was released on offline discs and was not intended to be released at all. I heard that there are hundreds of such movies every year..."
At this time, Taylor Swift, who had followed Qin Dong and had been an invisible person, saw that there was no one else in the room, and moved closer to her man to watch.
I heard a man complaining about the name of a movie, so I thought about it and explained what happened.
Although she is not from the film industry, she is a local and knows much more about offline discs than outsiders.
"The cost is less than one million, this is shoddy work..."
Qin Dong made a casual remark.
In fact, there was no need for Taylor to explain. Qin Dong also knew that these movies would only be available on offline discs, but the names of the movies were too dull.
"Looking at the name, I guess it's a horror movie or a killer movie."
Taylor actually knew little about the film industry, so he was talking casually based on the name of the movie.
She has no interest in these low-grade movies at all.
"Qin, you are finally willing to leave..."
At this time, the door was opened, and before anyone arrived, Martin's voice arrived first.
I was only halfway speaking, but when I saw Taylor, I automatically stopped.
"Good morning, Miss Swift."
"Good morning, Mr. Bob."
Qin Dong smiled as he watched Martin greet Taylor.
Qin Dong also guessed what the other party hadn't finished saying just now. It was definitely a joke about him staring at women these days, but Martin didn't expect Qin Dong to bring Taylor with him.
"Everyone, please take a seat. I've seen the cast list of [Super Face Hacker]. Since it's a CAA artist, let's do that."
Qin Dong stretched out his hand to invite Martin and Caesar who came in behind him to sit down.
First, he threw one of the lists on the table and made a final decision.
"Wow, that's great news. Thank you, Qin. It's an honor for CAA to work with you."
Martin said it politely and sensibly.
In fact, after working together for several years, Martin had already figured out Qin Dong's temper.
This is a very good partner who has a fierce temper, a very strong personality, and has his own ideas for doing things, but he also knows how to win over others and does not want to be alone.
In recent years, CAA has basically been involved in the selection of actors in Qin Dong's movies, not to mention the scripts packaged to CAA, which has given CAA huge benefits.
"Caesar, this document of yours, these [California Highway Killer], [Dark Shadows on the Bedside at Midnight], these are just shoddy films just by the name. Although the cost is very low, can the offline discs pay for themselves? Can they make money?
Even if you make money, you probably won’t make much money. Is it worth the effort to shoot it?”
Qin Dong threw another document to Caesar, the general manager of his company in North America, and asked him politely.
Qin Dong doesn't care if it's several million or tens of millions, let alone less than one million. He just wants to know if the company has a future by investing in such a bad movie.
"BOSS, the company has studied that as long as the cost of each of these movies is controlled to hundreds of thousands, the probability of making a return is very high, but it will take a while. Our internal discussion in the company has unanimously concluded that it is necessary to shoot these movies for offline discs.
Not only to make money, although it is incomparable to BOSS movies, but every Hollywood film and television company has requirements from above and must shoot a certain number of films every year, whether it is to make money for the company or to increase the work of the company's employees.
Passion, or to complete the task, these are what you need to do, BOSS."
When Caesar heard this, he immediately explained that this was the reason why he gave Qin the documents.
There are some things that this BOSS doesn't understand at all, and he has already prepared an explanation.
"Is there still such a requirement? Does it mean that film and television companies, big or small, have to shoot a certain number of movies?"
Qin Dong frowned slightly. This was the first time he heard about it, so he asked more questions.
"NO, not all, but most of the companies. BOSS, the film and television company must have a certain size. Film and television companies of different sizes have different requirements. For example, the six major Hollywood companies have too many movies every year.
The next level is independent film companies such as Legend and Weinstein Company, which must produce at least a dozen films every year, and the next level is our Blackwater Dragon Flag Company, which has a minimum of five films every year, which is lower than this
If the quantity is high, people from the Film and Television Industry Association will come to your door."
Caesar 1510 explains in detail the rules and laws of the film and television industry in Hollywood and North America.
"Shet..."
Qin Dong complained casually, then leaned back on the sofa and squinted his eyes to think.
With Caesar's explanation, Qin Dong understood that this was a compulsory approach by the United States.
These practices can ensure that the staff of the entire Hollywood or the entire North American film and television industry are busy every year, making the film and television industry stronger and stronger, while also providing a large number of jobs, and of course contributing generous tax revenue, which is also a line of promotion.
The development of the disc industry has really achieved many things with one stone.
No wonder Hollywood has dominated the world in just a few decades.
Back then, Hong Kong Island’s film and television industry was known as the “Hollywood of the East”, but even if Hollywood did not compete with Hong Kong Island’s film and television industry, the final result of Hong Kong Island’s film and television industry would not change. This was a matter of size.
If Hong Kong Island's film and television industry was at its peak back then, and China's economy is prosperous now, the two together would surely be able to resist Hollywood in North America.
It's a pity that there is no if.
