Chapter 171: Simple Planning
The Sanlitun bar recording studio has been very lively in the second half of the year, especially the fire of "The Legend of the New White Lady", which has become even more lively after Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland have shown a trend of dominating the screen.
The security guards of Blade Security are starting to come into play, not to mention the gatekeepers. Every time Sister Yazhi and Wu Qi returned to Yanjing from other places to talk about business, they couldn't come without dozens of security guards opening the way.
Although there have been no crazy fans or even brain-dead fans in recent years, Chinese people are born with a heart that loves to watch lively. Seeing how many people were shouting here, a large group of people gathered around them, and if there was no security guard, they couldn't get through.
"When will the decoration be completed over there, the place here is too small, and there is no underground garage, which is too troublesome. Not wanting to be exposed, Yang Dongxu, who came in through the back door with a mask, glanced at the bustling door outside and shook his head.
"I asked the renovation company to expedite the renovation of the 28th floor, and the other two floors were put in first, and I could move there in mid-December. Fude said with a smile.
Yang Dongxu greeted a few familiar people as he walked, and went to his office with Fu Decai.
Now there are many artists under Haina Records, especially after the fire of "The Legend of the New White Lady", the film and television department has been expanded, and the company has changed its name to Haina instead of Haina Records.
After the expansion, the staff will not talk about it, and the number of artists alone is approaching the 30 mark. Less than 30 artists doesn't seem like much, but if these less than 30 artists are all well-known, and there are four or five big names among them, this lineup is a bit scary.
Naturally, these artists will not all stay here, especially the film and television department, which is basically filming outside. But even so, it was extremely crowded, especially when there were several singers who were in a hurry to record an album together.
"Are we taking advantage of the popularity of this drama to make a few more films, didn't you also take out a few movie scripts last time, why don't you shoot them together?"
"The filming is not in a hurry, how about the screenwriter and director poaching people?" Yang Dongxu asked.
After Haina Records became popular, Fude successively recruited several creators and two producers, so when recording songs or something, Yang Dongxu was basically liberated in addition to occasionally providing a few songs or helping to screen new songs together.
But on the side of the film and television department, although the actors' shelves have been set up, there is a shortage of people in various positions, especially the director and screenwriter, none of whom can handle it.
"The director is a bit eyebrow-raising, and the screenwriter is a bit hard to find. In fact, Fude didn't understand that Yang Dongxu was obviously the best producer and creator, and in his opinion, there was not even one, why didn't he do it himself, but spent a lot of money to poach people everywhere.
Now the film and television department is like this, obviously he has several good scripts in his hand, but he doesn't have time to be a director to film, he understands when he digs the director, but he can't understand it if he has to dig the screenwriter.
"Don't always stare at the big directors and screenwriters, how can the cash cow in the hands of others be given to you. It's the same as when we made records before, or if the script is good, let's be investors. Yang Dongxu rubbed his chin and said.
He knew Fu Decai's doubts, but this matter was not easy to explain. He can't tell Fu Decai that he has a lot of scripts and songs, but not all of them are complete.
It's okay to say that the movie script and TV series are going to kill him. He does have a lot of movies and TV series in his head, but to turn them into scripts is to fuck up.
He is a human brain, not a computer, and it is not Baidu, what forgot Baidu to review it and write it again. Except for some impressive movies and TV series that were brainwashed during the summer vacation, he only remembered some plots that moved him, and the others have long been forgotten.
Now you ask him to write the story line, the detailed plot, and even the plot dialogue clearly, little by little, how is it possible? For example, a TV series with dozens of episodes at every turn becomes a script boss, or even several bosses, is it okay? This is not a song, as long as it follows the tune and occasionally hums, it will come out.
So Yang Dongxu's current approach is to use some of the scripts he memorizes to make a name for himself, and then cast a net to solicit scripts for blockbusters to shoot by himself, or be an investor.
It's impossible to write all the good movies and TV series in your mind, but look at the name of the script, or look at the content of the script, and then check whether there is an impression of this movie or TV series in your mind.
As for the good script, because I haven't read it, I don't have the impression that I will miss it. But his past few years of learning without sleeping and eating have not learned from dogs, and he can still judge it with a professional eye.
With such double insurance, although it is not as good as writing scripts and eating alone, it is more profitable. But if you make a film, the fire part is also a lot of money, okay?
"It's not a big problem to be an investor, whether it's Hong Kong, Taiwan or the mainland, there are a lot of people who want to make movies and TV series, but they don't have money, and they are looking for investors everywhere. There are even some directors and screenwriters who don't need to be paid themselves. However, the selection of scripts, as well as the ability of those directors and screenwriters, cannot be guaranteed. ”
The current entertainment industry and the entertainment industry of later generations have a common feature, that is, as long as you are willing to take money to make movies, there will always be a large group of unknown or well-known directors and screenwriters who recommend themselves and want to use your money to see if they can help them become popular.
But money is easy to invest, but what kind of thing it is, it's hard to say. Some even ran out of money and filmed, but they didn't even have a chance to be released.
"First put the director, or screenwriter who wants to film, and has his own script, put them together, let them bring the script to Yanjing, I will personally screen it, and then we will invest money to shoot for them. Or it is okay to levy the script at a high price, and when we encounter a good one, we will buy it and shoot it ourselves. Yang Dongxu thought about it and said his own way.
"That's a lot of work. Fu Decai said.
This is a lot of work, but it's not just talking. After Haina Records became famous, not to mention the active solicitation, just the singers who felt good and sent samples of songs, or lyricists, not a hundred or eighty a day, and even hundreds of copies in a few days at most
"I know this, but there's no better way now, isn't it?" Yang Dongxu sighed.
He also wants to be lazy, and he also wants to sleep until he wakes up naturally, but if he wants to do things, how can he not be tired and work hard? Even if the pie falls from the sky next to you, you don't even bother to reach out and take it, how can you eat it in your mouth?
"Okay, I'll arrange to get the news out. Since Yang Dongxu is not afraid of being tired and wants to check it himself, although Fude Cai is worried that his workload is too large, he is still quite happy to worry, in the past few years, the Haina scene has only soared into the sky, Yang Dongxu's accurate vision can be described as hard work, so he personally checked Fude is one hundred and twenty hearts.
"By the way, the director and screenwriter have a script to find an investor, if the person is not in Yanjing, let them send the script over first, let's take a look at it first. Someone else hasn't come to the book, and we have to reimburse their travel expenses, so it's not interesting. When the script is sent, let's classify it first, list a table of contents, and don't mess around and send it to my home. ”
"Understood, you still don't worry about my errands, is there anything else?" Fude nodded to indicate that he remembered.
"No, do you have something?"
"There are really many well-known film and television stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and they want our company to sign a contract to expand their own singer path amphibious development. However, most of their requests are easy to negotiate, but you need to do the song yourself. ”
Famous film and television stars want to be singers, and popular singers go to act, this is the norm in the entertainment industry in this era, and it will even continue for many years in the future, and when Yang Dongxu is reborn, there are also some artists who do this, but they are not as popular as in the 80s and 90s.
Think about the Four Heavenly Kings, Eason Chan, Faye Wong...... Wait, wait, even Jackie Chan released albums in the 90s, so isn't the current artist acting and singing at the same time? Back then, Feishi was able to dominate the Asian market because they had too many big-name film and television stars than other record companies.
"Those people have compiled a list for me, I'll take a look. Yang Dongxu thought about it and didn't give a clear answer.
He wants to see who there are first, and then see if he has any famous songs, don't sign the song when the song is not popular, and smash the golden signboard that he has finally set up.
"I've already prepared it for you, you have to hurry, I heard that Feishi and Warner are robbing people, and Feiyang's side is not peaceful. Fude handed him a folder directly.
When I opened it, there were really a lot of people, but there was not only one name, but a detailed information with photos, such as how old they were, what movies they had acted in, how much they were paid now, etc., and even some recorded song samples, I wanted Yang Dongxu to understand the characteristics of their voices.
"I'll give you the answer tomorrow. After looking at the approximate thickness of the information in the folder, Yang Dongxu nodded to indicate that he understood.
"Then I'll wait for your good news. ”
"Hmm. Yang Dongxu got up and stretched.
"Leaving now?"
"What else?" Yang Dongxu asked as he looked at Fu De.
"You've had to take a look at the studio below, but a few people heard that you were here and came to the company, and if you left like that, they would be very disappointed. ”
"Go and condole, talk about it, and it's better to leave a few songs, that would be more perfect, right?" Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
Fu Decai didn't speak, and handed Yang Dongxu a look that won my heart.
