"This is the script, you guys take a look at ...... first"

After meeting each other, Zhou Fangyuan sent the script to all the main creators present.

When everyone started to read the script, Zhou Fangyuan looked at the group of people in front of him with their heads down and serious expressions, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

When did you become a big man!

Yes, compared to those real big shots, he is still too much behind, but in the eyes of these people in front of him, he is now a big man.

Because he is rich, he is the chairman of Yuanfang Group, so he Zhou Fangyuan is a big man.

In the original time and space, "Stone" was born in 2006 and shocked everyone!

No one expected such a small-budget movie, the actress didn't even show her breasts, and relied on a few actors with almost zero appearance to finally win the box office of 23 million yuan, you must know that the investment in this drama is only 3 million yuan, and it is also invested by Liu Tianwang, as the director, Ning Hao, before that, he couldn't even find an investor.

However, after that, Ning Hao suddenly became a hot new director, and "Stone" also became the biggest dark horse in the domestic film industry in 2006, winning many awards at the Beijing University Student Film Festival, Golden Horse, Huabiao, etc.

On a certain petal, this drama has a rating of 8.3, surpassing 91% of comedy films, and crushing 90% of crime films.

Let's look at the blockbuster era before "Stone". A certain petal score: "Hero" 7.1 points, "Ambush on All Sides" 5.8 points, "The City Full of Golden Armor" 5.3 points, "Wuji" 5.1 points.

A blockbuster like "The City Full of Golden Armor" also needs to show its chest, in contrast, it can be seen that the domestic audience at that time wanted a good feature film that could be understood.

In 02, "Hero" broke the long-dormant domestic film box office with an astonishing box office performance of 240 million US dollars, and Chinese films entered the 1.0 era.

"Hero" is indeed a good shot, which needs to be admitted. After all, the mainland box office of the film is as high as 250 million yuan, and it is the box office champion of Chinese films in 2002. At the same time, it was also named the first of the world's top ten films in 2004 by Time Magazine, nominated for the Academy Award and the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and won many domestic and foreign film awards.

And when filming "Hero" at that time, the creative team really worked hard.

For example, during filming, Lao Mouzi can be said to be the most energetic and hard-working person in the whole crew, only shooting a few shots every day, sometimes dozens of times for a shot, sometimes even trekking through mountains and rivers for a shot, and sometimes after filming, he has to reshoot when he encounters new ideas or better natural shooting conditions. For example, because the terrain of Dunhuang, the filming location, is mountainous, with an altitude ranging from more than 800 meters to more than 3,000 meters, the temperature difference is very large. With such a toss, many people have suffered from severe colds. In the face of such harsh weather and rugged roads, the people who created the "heroes" silently gritted their teeth and endured.

After all the hard work and gains, the success of "Hero" is not unexpected.

However, since then, Chinese films have entered a short-lived blockbuster era, Chen Kaizi's "Wuji", Feng Dacang's "Night Banquet", and Lao Mouzi's later "Ambush on All Sides" and "The City is Full of Golden Armor" have all followed suit, each of which is a blockbuster of 100 million yuan. But it looks like it's either "Hamlet" or "Thunderstorm", or it's a combination of "Hamlet" and "Thunderstorm".

The conflict of the capitalists in "Thunderstorm" is put in the emperor's house, is it still a conflict?

You know, that was the era when a few people supported the entire domestic cinema line, and it was originally difficult for discourse movies to survive in that era, but as a result, these blockbusters only knew how to pile up money and gorgeous pictures, the story was big and empty, and the content was extremely scarce. For this reason, Chen Kaizi also got the reputation of a "prophet" and "prophetic emperor".

Burning money is like burning paper.

Of course, there are also a number of small-budget films with unique styles, such as Jia Kechang.

Since "Little Mountain Comes Home", he has won consecutive awards, including the Berlin International Film Festival Award, the Busan International Film Festival Best Film Heart Trend Award, the Venice Film Festival Best Asian Film, the Venice International Film Festival Golden Lion Award, and the Cannes International Film Festival's main competition unit - the Palme d'Or.

But the question is, does Section Chief Jia pay attention to the movies at the bottom, and the audience at the bottom buys them? What's the use of applauding or not? How did the movies die? Isn't this a lesson from history?

In the original time and space, although the sixth generation of directors have been looking for a way out in film festivals, at the same time, in order to cater to the tastes of these film festivals, ordinary audiences cannot take care of it. Therefore, the biggest drawback of these participating films at that time was that there was no market, and the cumulative box office of "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" was only 13,000, which could almost be attributed to zero.

Ning Hao is also a professional film practitioner who graduated from the Art Department of Beijing Normal University and the Photography Department of Beijing Film Academy, and is also a sixth-generation director. Section Chief Jia and Lu Chuan can actually be regarded as Ning Hao's learning examples, looking at Ning Hao's early works, "Incense" and "Green Meadow" are also niche literary films, taking the route of film festivals.

But suddenly one day, Ning Hao came to his senses.

Why do you have to make these "zero box office" movies?

Is a movie still called a movie without an audience?

Ning Hao doesn't want to play deep, he wants to make an "interesting" movie!

Thus, "Stone" was born.

saved the Chinese movies at that time, slapped countless people in the face, and shocked the eyes of I don't know how many people.

And this drama is also very popular with a group of people, and the main creative team, almost all of them have embarked on the fast track of development because of this movie.

Ning Hao himself won't say it, Huang Bo, a newcomer in the entertainment industry who was completely unfamous, won the Forbes Most Potential Celebrity Award for this movie, and won the Best Actor Award at the 46th Golden Horse Awards, and has become the person in charge of the Chinese film box office in the future.

Xu Zheng became popular earlier with the TV series "Spring Splendid Pig Bajie", but starting from "Stone", Xu Zheng began to break away from the small screen and stepped onto the big screen, and became a "box office elixir", and in 2012, he picked up the guide board in the movie "Thai Embarrassment" and ushered in the peak of his career.

Although Guo Tao had previously had the movie works "Never Lose My Love" and "Rhino in Love", Guo Tao at that time could only be regarded as a potential actor recognized by the industry.

Even Chen Zhenghua, the "director" in the film, has quadrupled his worth because of the movie "Stone". In the future, he will continue to shoot more than a dozen movies and dozens of TV series, you know, he is still just a dragon actor worth less than 300 yuan a day.

There is also Wang Xun, the future "Tooth King" and "Squirrel Xun", Brother BMW in "Stone", in the original time and space, will later sign a contract with Huang Bo's company, Huang Bo is also very righteous to his brothers, in "Chicken Strips", on the condition of bringing Wang Xun, he strongly praised Wang Xun, and in the future, Jiang Wangxun has become a well-known actor with a salary of 8 million. Although Yuan Yuan can't be regarded as a first-line actor, he is still very successful in general.

It can be said that this "Stone" is a star-making machine, and those who can sit on it are extremely lucky people. And Zhou Fangyuan, who created all this with his own hands, became their "big man", which is a matter of course.

And Zhou Fangyuan's more ruthless point is that his movie is not something that can be starred in casually. Although these people were all named by him, there were a few people in them, and Zhou Fangyuan's request for them must be signed. For example, Ning Hao, for example, Huang Bo, for example, Xu Zheng, for example, Wang Xun, these people have great potential in the future, if he lets him go, then he will be a fool. As for those who have signed contracts with other companies, then dig them up, and it is nothing more than paying some liquidated damages. Most of these people have not signed a contract with a brokerage company at present, after all, they are not famous, and even if the brokerage company signs a star, it is at least a little famous, like a dragon actor...... Which brokerage company will sign the trick?

Maybe Xu Zheng is more troublesome, he is now an actor who talks to Shanghua, and Shanghua has also begun to pay a little attention to Xu Zheng, after all, he is already famous now, and it is slightly troublesome to want to poach people. As for the others, it's not much of a problem.

But at the same time as digging people, the contract provided by Zhou Fangyuan's Yuanfang Media is eight years long, and it is a full contract, which means that the artist, whether it is a film contract or a song contract, is under the umbrella of Yuanfang Media. It's not that he is black-hearted, but that these actors are honestly of great value in the future, and they are not famous now, Zhou Fangyuan is far from taking the opportunity to take advantage of it, which is really a little unreasonable. Otherwise, once the artist becomes popular, the artist turns his head and runs away, who will he find to cry? At present, the artists signed by the company include Sun Honglei, Xu Ruxuan, Xingru and Tong Ya, as well as the main creative team of "Cooking Soldiers", these people and Zhou Fangyuan signed contracts are all long-term contracts, in this, Xu Ruxuan is a famous actor, but her situation is more special. It's not good to mix in Fusang, but on Hong Kong Island, there is Xiao Li to help you, Wanwan is honest, the market is too small, and Wanwan's entertainment industry is really not good to tell the truth, famous actors over there are now running out, and even the entertainment industry on Hong Kong Island is currently going downhill, does Xu Ruxuan still have a choice in this case?

What's more, it's not that Zhou Fangyuan is too cold, but he also has to guard against it, so he has a small floppy disk in his hand.

That is, the so-called disk commonly used by everyone in this era, what is contained in it, I won't talk about it here, but with this thing, Xu Ruxuan didn't dare to betray Zhou Fangyuan. Unless she really doesn't want to mix up in this showbiz.

But the question is, how can a star who has already become famous be willing to live such a glamorous life?

Xu Ruxuan is not the daughter of a rich family, she also wants to live, and not to mention betrayal, Zhou Fangyuan's request to her is very simple, that is, to be obedient forever.

With only one, she can't make any superfluous movements, not to mention anything else, even if she just wants to get away from Zhou Fangyuan, Zhou Fangyuan can scatter the things in the floppy disk at any time. What is the result of this, it is really difficult to say, Zhou Fangyuan didn't want to do this, Xu Ruxuan also didn't dare to see this scene, so the two sides had a basic tacit understanding.

Well, that's a long way off.

At present, there are more than a dozen artists signed under the name of Far Media in the name of Yuanfang Media, and all of them have signed long-term contracts.

Except for Xu Ruxuan and Xingru, everyone else had no opinions.

Not to mention Hong Lei, he was also a completely unknown newcomer before, and now that a company is willing to support him, it is too late for him to be happy.

Tong Ya's words are still too young, although her parents are slightly dissatisfied with the length of the contract, but considering that Tong Ya is only in her twenties after eight years, it is the most golden period, so they don't care too much.

As for the art troupe, because of their special status, the length of the contract is not important, because except for cooperating with distant media, as far as the current situation is concerned, they basically will not come out to take over the show...... Well, at present, in their own opinion, in fact, the restrictions on artists in the army's art troupe are becoming less and less, and there is no problem with going out to film, the biggest requirement may be that the scenes must be positive scenes, and those messy scenes can't be taken casually, but Zhou Fangyuan was not ready to let them take on messy scenes, so there is no problem with signing this contract.

As for Xu Ruxuan and Xingru, the situation is relatively complicated, but it is also simple.

One of them wants to break into the huge market of the mainland, and the other wants to participate in Hollywood productions, which can be regarded as having their own needs. As for Zhou Fangyuan, he belongs to a person with a strong desire to control, and he will never spit out the meat that has been eaten, which can be seen from the extent to which he controls the company, he is not even willing to accept investment, and even more unacceptable Xu Ruxuan and Xingru's "defection", so at present, Zhou Fangyuan has a total of two floppy disks in his hands.

As for whether there will be more in the future? But then again, there is actually no need for him to do this, as long as his distant media develops fast enough, these two people will not be able to escape.

Pull back the camera and look at the conference room again.

A few of the people present have actually been prompted by Sun Jing that the request of the distant media is a long-term contract of at least eight years, and it is a full contract, which is not negotiable.

As for the issue of film distribution, this is not a big deal, Zhou Fangyuan does not have his own cinema at present, but not everyone has a cinema chain, there are so many film companies and so many films in later generations, and how many have cinemas? Isn't it difficult to follow the path of various provincial film distribution agencies? This is not difficult, Professor Arida endorsed in the back, these things have actually been solved, as long as the film is filmed, and it is okay overall, distribution is not a problem at all. It's not a hard thing to worry about in general.

Therefore, Zhou Fangyuan can be said to have done all the foreshadowing, and there is only one choice question left in front of these people: join Yuanfang Media and sign an eight-year contract, but you can get the resources of Yuanfang Media and the resources of Yuanfang Group, or, put down the script and turn away, it's as simple as that.
