Film and television companies are generally divided into three types, the first is a production film and television company that finds financing, creates scripts, and then sets up directors and actors to shoot and distribute films, the second is a film and television post-production company that does post-editing, special effects, and dubbing production, and the third is a film and television agency that does actor brokerage, outreach crews and other businesses.

Xingyu Film and Television is a comprehensive film and television company. Its main positioning is more inclined to the first type of film and television production company, because after all, there are several copyrights in hand. But at the same time, it also has a post-production team, which usually receives some advertising, short videos, and promotional films, which is the main source of income for Xingyu Film and Television when it has no film projects. In addition, Xingyu Film and Television also signed an actor to do artist brokerage business.

Xingyu Film and Television General Manager's Office.

Jiang Chao patiently listened to the deputy general manager in front of him report the basic situation of Xingyu Film and Television, and then fell into deep thought.

Jiang Chao also came to Xingyu Film and Television for the first time, not because he didn't care about Xingyu Film and Television, but because although Xingyu Film and Television was acquired by Xingchao Investment some time ago, the relevant procedures and handovers were only completed in the past two days.

As Xiang Yuliang said to him before, Xingyu Film and Television is going to die or live, and it can barely break even.

Film and television companies either rely on distribution, directors, business, or resources...... But after thinking about it, Xingyu Film and Television originally did not account for these aspects, and it used to be backed by Donglong and still have a channel advantage, but after becoming its own company, it can be regarded as not even having a channel advantage...... So how do you run Xingyu Film and Television next?

Jiang Chao thought of Zhan Zeming's views on the development of film and television companies: If there are no special scarce resources, we must rely on content development capabilities! And in the long run, we can live longer by relying on content development.

Jiang Chao smiled slightly, at present, Xingyu Film and Television has the copyrights of several science fiction films, which are content pools! Although those science fiction films are not famous outside the circle, Jiang Chao thinks that the stories of those films are very exciting, as long as the movies can make one-tenth of the effect, they are all good blockbuster movies! Therefore, Jiang Chao plans to invest in the production of Zhan Zeming's movies to accumulate some experience.

In fact, Xingyu Film and Television did not try to find well-known domestic screenwriters and directors in the past. But science fiction movies are too difficult to shoot, and the current big production of science fiction movies in China is a blank, and no director and investor are willing to be the first to eat crabs. Therefore, Jiang Chao can only pin his hopes on the new director.

After thinking about the next plan, Jiang Chao was ready to do a big job. After learning more about the situation of Xingyu Film and Television, he was a little dissatisfied, because he found that this film company was really a toy made by the young master of Donglong Group for his girlfriend, and the whole company was almost serving his girlfriend alone.

These news were told to him by the deputy general manager in front of him. Jiang Chao thought for a while and asked a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, what's your name?"

The deputy general manager is a man in his forties, not tall, looks quite stocky, and looks festive, like Maitreya Buddha, which makes people feel good. When he heard Jiang Chao's words, he was stunned, and then showed a harmless smile: "My name is Zhou Mi, you can call me Laoqi!"

Jiang Chao couldn't help but smile: "Your name...... It's not because he's the youngest in the family, right?"

The old man's accent has a slight Kyoto flavor: "You're right, I'm the oldest at home." ”

Jiang Chao didn't know why, but when he saw this old man, he faintly felt that he was very reliable, maybe it was the boy's sixth sense. Jiang Chao is a person who believes in intuition, and when he thought that Xingyu Film and Television was currently vacant with a general manager, he instantly had an idea and asked: "Boss, I think you know this company best, how long have you been in the position of deputy general manager?"

The old man said embarrassedly: "It won't be long, about a year." It has been four years since Xingyu Film and Television was established, and I have been there since the establishment of Xingyu Film and Television. I don't have a high level of education, I did everything at the beginning, first I worked with the crew, did life production, and then mixed up step by step...... To be honest, don't mind, this company has no future, those who have ideas are gone, the seat is vacant, and the previous owner saw that I was the oldest, so they arranged me in this position. ”

The old man said sincerely, but Jiang Chao keenly extracted a lot of useful information from it, he thought about it and asked, "Have you ever been the chief producer?"

The old man smiled: "I have a good family of people! I have worked as a life producer, production director and chief producer! Because the movies I made before were all small productions, and I also worked part-time as a coordinator and on-site producer when I was short of manpower." ”

Jiang Chao's eyes lit up, and it was really similar to what he thought. The producer is equivalent to the CEO in the crew, who is responsible for finding money, scripts, and actors to build the filming team, and after filming, he has to find someone to buy the film...... It's really not something that ordinary people can do. The top must straighten out the leadership, the bottom must be able to control the villain, and the EQ and IQ must be high. Although the old man said that his own culture is not high, what he can do, many highly educated people may not be able to do!

Jiang Chao smiled slightly: "Brother Zhou......"

The old man hurriedly said, "Don't mind! You still call me the old man!"

Jiang Chao smiled dumbly before he said, "Okay...... Boss, since I bought Xingyu Film and Television, I have to do it well. A good company can't do without a general manager. I'm going to make you the general manager, okay?"

The old man has been mixed up for so many years, and he sees that he has no future to climb up, and he can't afford to change jobs, so he just wants Xingyu Film and Television to be safe and stable, and can give him a bite to eat, so before Jiang Chao came here, he was very worried in his heart, afraid that the person who came would be a master who was not good to serve, or he would be directly chased if he was not pleasing to the eye, but he would have a mid-life crisis. Unexpectedly, a pie fell from the sky, and when he heard Jiang Chao's words, he instantly became excited, and hurriedly said: "Cheng! Jiang ...... Jiang Dong! I ...... I'm sure I won't let you down!"

Jiang Chao smiled slightly: "In a few days, a director friend of mine will come over with a script, and when the time comes, you will check it, mainly calculate the budget, and if you can, you will be ready to set up a project to build the crew, and you will be the chief producer when the time comes." Don't worry about investing in it, my star super investment is responsible. ”

When the old man heard this, he was immediately excited. To tell the truth, because of Xingyu Film and Television, he hasn't filmed a movie for more than a year, he has been mixed in Hengdian for many years, and mixing the crew is his old business, and at this time he can finally return to his old business, naturally he is overjoyed, and patted Jiang Chao's chest: "No problem!"

Jiang Chao smiled slightly, now Zhan Zeming's movie can be regarded as a successful first step.

At this moment, the old man's phone rang, he glanced at the number, and then asked Jiang Chao with his eyes. Jiang Chao said: "It's okay, take it." ”

Only then did the old man pick up the phone. He listened to a few words on the other end of the phone, and his brows suddenly furrowed, "Okay...... Okay, I see, uh...... We now have a new boss, I'll report back to him. ”

Jiang Chao looked puzzled: "What's wrong?"

The old man smiled bitterly: "Our company is still a brokerage company, and there is an actress under it, she is the girlfriend of the son of the former boss of Donglong." ”

Jiang Chao nodded: "I know this." ”

The old man sighed: "Alas...... Where is she an actress, she is simply an ancestor!"

Jiang Chao frowned: "What is the situation?"

Then, the old man began to talk one by one.
