Far Media provides a platform and opportunity to become famous, and how to choose is already obvious.
And if they are not willing to sign the contract, after Sun Jing told them the content of the contract before, they should take the initiative to leave, instead of continuing to stay here.
Now that everyone is sitting here, it means that they don't have much of a problem with the signing itself...... Or, they are willing to sign up if they have an opinion, and it is more important than anything else to be famous first.
After reading the script and everyone thought it was okay, Zhou Fangyuan got up and left. The work signed later, as well as the formation of the crew, Sun Jing will always follow up. Since Yuanfang Media announced its investment in Hollywood productions, there have been many people who have taken the initiative to find jobs, and in terms of actors, Yuanfang Media has not taken any action, but they are behind-the-scenes workers, and Yuanfang Media has signed a lot. Sun Jing also relied on her knowledge of this circle to poach people in other companies. These behind-the-scenes talents are the most important, and these behind-the-scenes heroes are obviously more important than celebrities.
After all, there are stars every year, and there are not a few who have good acting skills, and there are even more who rely on their faces to eat. And many excellent movies don't even have a decent star, just like "Stone", which of these people at this time is a real big star? No, even Xu Zheng is just a little famous. And celebrities are glamorous after all, many young people dream of becoming stars, but they scoff at those behind-the-scenes work.
The director is the most famous of the behind-the-scenes personnel, such as scene notes, props, tea, costumes, makeup, lighting, and art...... Somebody has to do it.
These people are indispensable to a movie, and a good behind-the-scenes worker can provide too much convenience for a movie. Therefore, Zhou Fangyuan has always asked Sun Jing to collect more talents in this area, but those actors who stand on the bright side can be temporarily placed in second place, after all, Zhou Fangyuan has the ability to be a prophet, with this ability, do you have to worry about not having a star?
But then again, even if you are working behind the scenes, you are not in a hurry.
Because Zhou Fangyuan knows very well that there may not be many outstanding behind-the-scenes personnel in China now, but with the passage of time, this situation will soon change.
The reason is very simple, that is, the rapid development of the Great Chinese Empire, the rapid increase in comprehensive national strength, and the rapid development of the world's second largest economy in the future, as well as the world's fastest developing country, the Western world's talents will gradually begin to flow to the flower planters.
Once upon a time, domestic stars dreamed of crossing the ocean to Hollywood, but in the future, the growing box office of this "Celestial Empire" means that local producers have the capital to attract top overseas film talent.
Throughout the history of film, it is not difficult to find that most foreign filmmakers have gone to Hollywood after achieving major successes. However, in the future, a few years before Zhou Fangyuan's rebirth, the wind direction of the world film industry has changed. As in many other areas of international trade, China's growing market dynamics, especially its rising box office results, have directly driven this change.
From the past to the present, the big names in the Chinese film industry, from Bruce Lee to Jackie Chan, and then from John Woo to Ang Lee. They would move to the West in order to advance their careers, moving from their relatively backward hometown to much larger Southern California. But in the future, it will be more common for Hollywood talent to move eastward to the capital in search of opportunities in the city's growing film industry.
The most eye-catching is Christian Bale's role in Lao Mouzi's action period drama "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", and Matt Damon's legendary film "The Great Wall".
In addition to the growth of national strength and the increase in the box office, another reason for this trend is the rapid growth of production funds in Huaxia.
The first "Detective Chinatown" in 15 years cost only $100,000, but three years later, Wanda invested more than $60 million in the second part. In the future, with Willis and Brody starring in "The Big Bombing", the estimated cost will reach $600,000.
The increasing production budget also reflects the growth of the Huaxia box office, which is said to be expected to surpass the North American market around 2020.
A large number of film talents began to flow from the West to the East, however, the real flow of talent was behind the scenes. Almost every future Chinese film will have some behind-the-scenes professionals from Hollywood, such as producers, cinematographers, composers, visual effects directors or action directors. For example, Zhou Fangyuan once read a post before his rebirth, which said that when Wu Jing was filming "Wolf Warrior 2", which he co-wrote and directed and acted in, someone introduced him to Marvel's pillars Joe Russell and Anthony Russell, and before that, the two had signed a cooperation agreement with Wu Jing's Beijing Culture Company. The Russo brothers introduced Wu Jing to some of the professionals they often work with, and Wu Jing, a Chinese filmmaker, accepted their introduction, hiring Sam Hargrave, the stunt director of "Avengers 3", and American composer Joseph Trepanis, who scored "The King of the Circus" and "Compton", also joined Wu Jing's project to score it.
It is believed that the introduction of experienced Hollywood talent has largely contributed to the formation of a golden formula for the film, and the patriotic Chinese action movie coupled with the world-class technical team has fascinated Chinese audiences.
Of course, this statement is not comprehensive, it can only be said that the Hollywood team is indeed more experienced, after all, when it comes to the film industry system, Hollywood is indeed the strongest in the world, but this situation will change in the future, and as more and more film talents go east, there will be more crooked nuts in this industry. Therefore, Zhou Fangyuan is not in a hurry to recruit more talents now, if someone recommends himself and confirms that the level is not bad, he can accept it. The previous poaching was only to fill the company's shortcomings, but now, in terms of behind-the-scenes talents, in addition to the director, Yuanfang Media has accumulated a lot of other talents.
So in terms of talent pool, they have also begun to slow down. Start putting more effort into new projects.
The gossip is far away......
In short, the problem of talent has improved to a certain extent, and the rest will be left to Sun Jing.
Zhou Fangyuan will check the quality of the movie, although he has not studied movies, but he has seen movies, whether the movies are good or not, he can still understand them.
After leaving Yuanfang Media, Zhou Fangyuan drove to the suburbs of the capital, where Andy's studio was located.
Originally, it was just a small courtyard, but now the scale has become larger and larger, and a piece of farmhouse around it has been bought by Yuanfang Technology, and the headquarters of Yuanfang Technology will most likely be located in this place in the future. Just like Blizzard, it is a large company in the world, but it is headquartered in a small city. Big cities have the advantages of big cities, and small places also have the advantages of small places, at least there are few people here, quiet, and there will be no distractions of all kinds.
Zhou Fangyuan finally appeared, making the third brother show a relaxed expression.
The first second Andy saw Zhou Fangyuan, he began to pester him and asked him to introduce the production line quickly.
The mobile phone production line is not a problem, the main thing is to talk about money, Zhou Fangyuan is now, money is not very handy.
But he couldn't say that to Andy, he patted Andy on the shoulder, "Don't worry, money is not a problem, what equipment do you need, pull out a list, I will let someone handle it." But Andy, you also know that because of ideological problems, now Huaxia is still in a situation of being blocked by obscurity, although everyone doesn't say so on the surface, but the Western world led by Mi is still restricting Huaxia from all aspects. ”
"Yes, I know, but without a production line, our phones will ......"
"I understand, I understand, I just want to tell you that you need to give me time. I'll go and contact you right now, but it can take a long time from the beginning of the contact to the time it is shipped and installed, and I don't have a good way to do that. ”
"Yes, I understand......"
Andy nodded helplessly.
He regretted it a little, and regretted that he followed Zhou Fangyuan to Huaxia as soon as his brain was hot.
Although Zhou Fangyuan is indeed very supportive of him, because of the reasons Zhou Fangyuan said, his career will be subject to various restrictions here, and it is far less convenient than developing in the United States.
Zhou Fangyuan seemed to see Andy's thoughts, and he smiled and patted Andy's back.
"But don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you, and don't forget, this company is mine, and I also want to make money. Actually, I'm more anxious than you, but what can I do? This kind of thing can be done in a hurry without being in a hurry. In addition, if Andy has a channel in your hand, you can also take it out to help, and if you can speed up the implementation of the production line, I will give you a certain bonus. ”
Although he has no money in his hands, Zhou Fangyuan's words are still very bold, he can't show his cowardice first. And if Andy can really introduce him to some channels in this regard, he is also very happy, after all, with such a channel, if it is well maintained, it may be able to play a greater role in the future.
It's a pity that Andy doesn't have such a channel, he shook his head bluntly after hearing Zhou Fangyuan's words.
Zhou Fangyuan was not disappointed, because he didn't have much hope at the beginning.
"Okay, Andy, you can put the production line thing on hold for a while. I'm here today, there are two more things to tell you, first of all, the first thing is about the development of the smartphone system, I think you can already start to work on research and development, rest assured, money is not a problem, what equipment you need, I can find a way to get it for you, as long as it is not a whole production line, there is no problem in theory. ”
"Yes," Andy nodded, "We've gained some experience through the development of the Sidekick, and we're ready to start developing smartphones, which is no problem, and we don't need to add additional equipment." ”
"Very well, then that's the second thing, Andy, I want you to help me develop a little system. ”
Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.
"Is it a small system?"
"It's not a mobile phone system, what I want you to develop for me is a shared bicycle system. ”
Zhou Fangyuan finally said his purpose.
Yes, public bicycles, for future generations, this thing is not rare at all. But few people know that this thing is actually the ancestor of shared bicycles.
Public bicycle is the abbreviation of "public bicycle travel system". The system is usually deployed and constructed in cities, and is composed of data centers, parking stations, parking electronic anti-theft locks, bicycles (including vehicle locks, vehicle electronic tags) and corresponding communication and monitoring equipment. A single data center can manage hundreds to thousands of sites, each equipped with 20 to 80 electronic parking locks. The station is mainly located near the entrance and exit of the residents' living and working agglomeration area and the bus station, focusing on solving the problem of "the last 1 kilometer of public transportation", which is an important part of urban public transportation in the future.
The concept of public bicycles first originated in Europe, and in 1965, the earliest public bicycles appeared in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, which was originally put in public areas by an anarchist organization that painted white and were not locked, hoping to be used for free for people for a long time, called the "White Bicycle Project". Unfortunately, contrary to the original intention of the proponents, within a few days, all the bikes were lost or destroyed, and the plan completely failed. However, this attempt is widely regarded as the origin of the earliest public bicycle system in history.
Thirty years later, the second generation of the bike sharing system appeared in Copenhagen, Denmark. The new system features a specific access location, coins are used as vouchers when picking up the bike, coins are returned when the bike is returned, the user is anonymous, and despite the special design, the bike is still often lost, and this type of system still exists until Zhou Fangyuan is reborn.
Until the end of the 90s of the 20th century, using modern advanced electronics, information integration, wireless communication and Internet technology, new types of public bicycle systems have appeared in some European countries. The biggest feature of this type of system is the ability to know who is using the bicycle, which makes a fundamental change in the way the system is managed. And by 07 years, public bicycles began to appear in China, first in Beijing, then in several large cities in China, and finally throughout the country. Further, it is the shared bicycle of the future, but the sharing of bicycle requires a more advanced way, which is not yet available. In other words, the cost is too high to be operable.
But there are fixed parking points and card pick-up of public bicycles, but can already start operating in the country, this is an important means to change the way of national travel, once launched, it will inevitably be popular in a short period of time, Zhou Fangyuan wants to make money, the movie is only a part, public bicycles are another way for him to make money, and this way itself is not bad.
It can not only make money, but also make it convenient for the people, so why not do it?
What's more, the mobile phone production line does not have to be built overnight, not to say that more than a dozen factories will be opened as soon as it comes up, he can take his time, first purchase one production line by one, and then blow out the rapid expansion of the scale after the continuous development and growth of distant technology, which is completely feasible.
