Chapter 37: The Studio (part 3 of 8)
Broken rules?
What rules?
Of course, it's a game to fool the layman!
The crew, from top to bottom, is greedy for oil and water.
Producer, director, assistant director, costumes, props, scenery...
Of course, Chen Kexin has something to say: the salary he gives is low, and if he is not corrupt, everyone will not be able to make money!
After Director Chen went north, he worked hard to shoot "If Love", "Casting Names", including "October Siege", how much money did he make?
I really didn't make much money, and the director fee was also posted upside down to "Vote for Fame"!
For the hair?
Because these dramas are participated in by Hong Kong production companies, they know how to do it!
When it comes to "Martial Arts"...
The box office lost money, but Director Chen achieved financial freedom and bought a villa in Beijing...
By the way, not every department is greedy, except for photography and lighting, photography is technical work, lighting is hard work, high requirements, more wages, less access to money and accounts...
How to do it...
For example: when the crew shoots exterior scenes, they need to borrow a farmer's house for a day, and the farmer's uncle offers 400 yuan, but it is impossible to invoice you!
That's it!
400 yuan for 20,000 yuan, then the producer takes 8,000, the director takes 6,000, the accountant takes 3,000, the producer of the scenery takes 2,060, and finally 400 yuan for the farmer's uncle...
Of course, it is unlikely to be an integer, so the bill reported to the investor shows that it is 2049.51 yuan for location shooting.
The used props, costumes, etc., can be reported for damage, scrapped and lost, and then taken by the producer to sell them secretly to make a profit, some crews, buy some LV, prada as props, after filming, the producer directly sent the junior, junior...
In fact, the crew, and even the entire industry, will help fool the coal boss!
This is the same as all the businesses in the tourist attractions unite to pit tourists...
Shen Mengxi is engaged in this investment transparency - all bills are published on the Internet, and anyone who cares will know what the problem is when they check it!
This is the choice after learning about the Korean film industry, production costs and box office are all open and transparent...
Zhao Jinsong explained: "We do this, but we also don't want to ruin the reputation of the circle, now, many people say that the entertainment industry, the film and television industry hide dirt, the production is transparent, and accept the supervision of public opinion, this is the way to sustainable development, if everyone hacks the money of investors, it is the entire industry that is unlucky in the end!"
“... Wouldn't it offend anyone?"
"We just do it ourselves, and we don't ask the whole industry to learn, when will we offend people by abiding by the rules and being strict with ourselves?"
Shen Mengxi has the confidence to do so.
What is the layout of the whole industry chain, to put it bluntly, as long as there is an audience, they can completely throw off everyone and play alone.
In the next few days, Zhao Jinsong went to negotiate with Wanda...
Shen Mengxi still has a good impression of Wanda's blessing, on the one hand, Wanda has a cinema chain, and they join in, which can ensure the film schedule, on the other hand, those who are engaged in real estate will not dare to create the crew, but they like to check the accounts...
It's really like what a screenwriter said, the worst thing is that after Internet companies enter the market, there are a bunch of nouns, what big data, all kinds of traffic...
They know a fart!
The movie version of "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", find out...
......
Hengdian, Hu Ge specially invited by Yang Xiaomi.
Don't get me wrong, there are Liu Shishi and Tang Yan as accompaniment, and Lao Hu also brought Guo Jingfei, Chen Xiao, Qiao Shan...
She wanted to ask Hugo about the studio.
Hu Ge taught according to his own experience: "Will your future work focus on movies or TV series? If it's a movie, I suggest you attach the studio to Mengxi, and if it's a TV series, then it will be under the Tang Dynasty..."
"Why?"
"Because our company is a group, Mengxi's focus is on movies, and Tang Ren is a TV series..."
"And what about Mingxi?"
"Mingxi is a maverick and specializes in low-cost works... The shirt should understand!"
Qiao Shan nodded: "I'm filming that "Sling Man" now, which is to write a comedy sketch collection, and then broadcast it on Youku and iQiyi, an episode seems to be 80,000 yuan, and by the way, you can receive advertising shares!"
Liu Shishi was originally eating spicy duck neck, but when he heard Qiao Shan's words, he couldn't help but be surprised: """Sling Man" was filmed by our company?"
“... After all, don't spray!"
Yang Xiaomi is a little disgusted...
"yes, the agent said this is the way to make a name..."
Liu Shishi: "That's fun!"
"Thank you, Sister Shi!"
"You'll talk about it later... Lao Hu, what if I want to develop?"
Hu Ge: "Then hang it under Mengxi, anyway, you have a good relationship with Tang Ren and several producers, if you have any suitable resources, find them, and they will not refuse." ”
Chen Xiao interjected: "Lao Hu, is the studio really free?"
"It's really free, I can get in touch with a lot of outside dramas, but it's also a lot of pressure, after all, the whole team wants you to raise..."Speaking of this, Hu Ge hesitated for a moment, but continued: "And the outside drama is really not as good as our company's project!"
Yang Xiaomi nodded: "That's our company's project, people outside are rushing to get on it! Shi Shi should be clear!"
"That's right, I and Chen Xiao and Ma Tianyu's "Strange Man Yizhimei" is a unit drama, five units in one season, I heard that the actors in Hong Kong and Taiwan want to join to play a supporting role!"
Chen Xiao frowned, not believing in evil: "It's not good at all?"
"Of course there are benefits, there is a studio, you are also a partner of the company, the company's projects, you can participate in the production, the projects you fancie, the company will also consider, and then invest in the production together, I recently watched a "Doctor's Benevolence"... It was Mr. Xie Junhao who received the script invitation, he thought I was very suitable for this drama, I watched it, I also liked it, and then I suggested to the company, Sister Cai directly contacted the investor, and the three of us invested together..."
"Three?"
"And my studio!"
In fact, there is another reason, the only role suitable for Hu Ge in "The Doctor's Benevolence" is the male number four, and the crew asked him to serve as the male number four?
What crew is so extravagant, do you think "The Climber"?
So what to do?
Hu Ge served as a producer, producer...
"Okay, I see..."
Hugo looked at her suspiciously, "You really know?"
Yang Xiaomi looked serious: "Of course!"
"Then tell me, what do you need to set up a studio?"
"Agent, assistant, makeup artist..."
"That's all?" Hu Ge sighed, "and marketing, publicity, business, public relations..."
Yang Xiaomi smiled: "I have discussed this with Shi Shi and Tangtang, and the three of us have set up a marketing, publicity, business, and public relations company that specializes in serving us!"
"Together?"
"Can't you?"
Hu Ge was stunned for a moment, can it still be like this?
Liu Shishi added: "We are also going to sign a few people, strive to train them into superstars, and then go public to make money!"
“... You're amazing. ”
