Chapter 417 (Updating for the Helmsman's "Reader's 1533296848328111")
On February 15, 2005, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, today is the day when Haotian Holdings resumed work!
Early in the morning, the multi-functional hall of Haotian Holdings was crowded with media reporters, because today, like last year, Haotian Holdings will hold a New Year's conference to announce this year's work plan!
When Chen Hao and the company's senior executives appeared, the hall was full of flashing lights, and until Chen Hao and the others sat down, they still flashed.
"Thank you for being able to visit Haotian Holdings today, there are four main things to inform you today, I hope you will wait for us to finish asking questions, thank you for your cooperation!" Xing Aina said.
"First of all, Haotian Film and Television's TV series plan for this year, in addition to the already launched "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", we also have a completed "Bright Sword" that will land on CCAV1 in September.
At the same time, Haotian Film and Television will also plan to invest in the production of three TV series "Palace Scheming", "Soldier Assault" and "Wulin Gaiden" this year, involving palace fighting, military and sitcom themes, with a total of 113 episodes!" Zhuang Liqi said.
"Haotian Film and Television's film plan, in addition to "Green Meadow" released today, will also participate in the investment and production of three films, namely Mr. Chen's new film, as well as "Curse" and "Dragon Tiger Gate" in cooperation with Paulie Berner and Magic Shadow!" Ning Hao said.
"Haotian Productions will continue to cooperate with Shonan Satellite TV to launch the 2005 "Happy Girl" this year!" Long Danny said.
"Haotian Music will produce two albums this year, one is Zhang Hanyun's debut album "Sweet and Sour is Me", and the other will be the 2005 Happy Girl Vocal Collection!" Huo Shaowen said.
"The second thing is that we are fortunate to invite director Lin Shufen to join Haotian Film and Television, and we will cooperate more closely in the future. Xing Aina said.
Everyone is not surprised that Lin Shufen joined Haotian, because Lin Shufen has cooperated with Haotian Film and Television in 3 TV series.
Now Haotian Film and Television is one of the private entertainment giants in the mainland, and it is naturally not surprising that Lin Shufen joined!
Lin Shufen joined Haotian Film and Television in the form of a studio, and the company paid 5 million yuan, accounting for 80% of the studio's equity, of which 3 million was directly given to Lin Shufen in the form of a signing fee.
"The third thing is that Haotian Film and Television will launch the 'Haotian New Director Program', which consists of two parts.
It is divided into the 'Star of Hope Program', which aims to improve the practical ability of college students, and the 'Spark Project', which aims to support new directors in the industry.
Among them, the 'Star of Hope Program' Haotian Film and Television will join hands with Emperor Film, and the first phase will provide 5 million yuan for the plan within three years.
In the first phase of the 'Spark Plan', 5 directors will be selected for investment support, and there is no upper limit on the specific amount!" Chen Hao said.
As soon as Chen Hao's words fell, the reporters at the scene were in a commotion, obviously this plan far exceeded everyone's expectations.
I thought it was just the 2005 work plan of Haotian Holdings, but I didn't expect a "Haotian New Director Plan" to pop up, which is big news!
With Haotian's investment, there will naturally be Haotian to help with the distribution, which can be described as a one-stop service, which is simply the best shortcut for a new director to become famous!
After the implementation of this plan, I am afraid that the students of Diying and countless new directors in the circle will be ecstatic, and the favorability of Haotian Holdings will definitely blow up!
"Please be calm, I'll leave time for you to ask questions. Chen Hao said.
When the reporters heard this, they could only suppress the restlessness in their hearts, and anxiously waited for Chen Hao to finish speaking.
"The fourth thing is that as mentioned earlier, my new film will officially start tomorrow!" Chen Hao said? Okay, you can ask questions, but please come one by one? After all, I only have one mouth. ”
"Mr. Chen, will the 'Haotian New Director Plan' be implemented this year?
"That's two questions. That's right, the plan will officially start today, and as for the target director, there is no yet.
I'm also here to send out an invitation to all the new directors in the circle who want to pick up the tube, and if you think you can do it, then you are welcome to join this program, and maybe you will be 1 in 5 people. Chen Hao said.
"Mr. Chen, do you have any requirements and restrictions for this rookie director, and how can you participate in the plan?"
"The tentative restriction is that as long as no movie has been released on 300 screens, it can be regarded as a new director!
The previous "Thursday and Wednesday" was a student movie, and "Incense" was considered a debut film?
But "Green Meadow", which was just released today, has a scale of more than 300 screens, so Ning Hao lost his qualifications. Chen Hao said.
In fact, this is somewhat deliberate, this plan must exclude Ning Hao, lest he be smeared, and good things turn into bad things.
Theoretically, like many sixth-generation directors, their films have not been released in the mainland, let alone more than 300 screens, so they are also compliant.
But there are only 5 places, and in the end, Haotian Film and Television is in control of itself.
"As for participating in the plan, interested newcomer directors can send scripts to Haotian Film and Television, and we will screen them, and if we think the script is suitable, then we will interview you directly and then determine whether to be included in the 5-person plan.
If it is finalized, then no matter how much money it is, we Haotian Film and Television will invest. Chen Hao said.
"Do you mean that it is up to you Haotian Film and Television to decide the final list of 5 people?"
Chen Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course, the plan was issued by us, and the final result will naturally be decided by us." ”
"Director Chen, can you tell us about your new film?"
Chen Hao smiled when he heard this, "It's still a science fiction film, but this time the scene will be transferred to Mars." ”
"Director Chen seems to be very partial to science fiction films? This is already your fourth science fiction film, right?"
"That's right. This is because I like science fiction movies very much, and I can do whatever I want in them to create a future that belongs to my own mind!" Chen Hao said with a smile.
In fact, there is another important reason why science fiction films can pass the world!
At the beginning of the century, the West was very interested in Chinese kung fu and martial arts films, which caused the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero" to be popular, but then they also declined, and there were cultural barriers in other genres.
Even horror films have a certain cultural core, so on the whole, only science fiction films can be universally accepted globally and do not affect everyone's understanding.
Now that the box office ceiling in the mainland is so low, and the box office account is far less than that of Western countries, there is no supplement from overseas markets, so it is a problem to return to the cost, which is why Chen Hao loves to make science fiction films.
