"Do you agree that you have any objections to the company's future works setting these rules?" Xiao Yao asked.

"No!" everyone shook their heads.

The major shareholder here is Xiao Yao's playmate from childhood to adulthood, and the executives were recruited by Xiao Yao's studio, so they are naturally more compatible in terms of ideology.

Although Xiao Yao's regulations are much stricter than most of the film and television production units in the current industry, as a film and television work with quality pursuit, these are actually relatively basic requirements and should be achieved. Although as a film and television company, there is also the pursuit of profit, but making conscientious works and economic benefits are not completely opposite.

"Mr. Xiao, do we need to publish these regulations on the company's official account?" asked the head of the company's publicity department.

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "If you make a statement, it seems too deliberate, like hype." If we talk about the work, we don't use this hype! Moreover, if we make it public in a high-profile manner, we may be stared at with a magnifying glass in the future, and in case we encounter any special circumstances in the future, we may even be used by some people with ulterior motives to bring rhythm. So this is the company's internal regulations, and there is no need to advertise it. As long as we keep doing so, sooner or later these rules will be passed down to the industry and then to the public through the rejected actors and companies, and this way will be better known to everyone. ”

"Got it!" nodded the head of the propaganda department.

"Mr. Xiao, you said that this project is our first project next year, so when is the expected start time? Is it going to start preparations before the Chinese New Year? Do you need to communicate with Miss Yin Xi's studio?" The person in charge of the production department asked, "Also, you and Miss Yin Xi are the male and female protagonists respectively, so are you still the director and producer?"

"Our movie "Donkey Gets Water" has not yet been finalized, and my plan is to arrange it to be released after the Lantern Festival. It will be at least a week after the release of that movie before I can join the group with peace of mind, so the start time of this TV series project will not be until March next year at the earliest, but the preparations will indeed start before the Chinese New Year. Xiao Yao replied, "The preparatory work, of course, must communicate with Yin Xi's studio and cooperate with it." I originally asked Yin Xi to attend our year-end summary meeting, but she said that this was our company's annual meeting and insisted on not coming. After we finished writing the first draft of the script, we contacted them to do the preparatory work together. ”

"As for the director and producer, I won't be in this role. Xiao Yao continued, "For this TV drama project, I only do actors and screenwriters. ”

"Then we still need to find a reliable producer and director?" the head of the production department asked, "Did you pick it yourself or did our department find it?" ”

"You guys go find it," Xiao Yao said, "After I get the first draft of the script, you can find the right producer and director according to the script, and finally let me meet with Yin Xi." ”

"When it comes to producers and directors, it's just that our company doesn't sign artists, shouldn't we sign some exclusive directors and screenwriters?" Lin Qisan said, "Many film and television companies have their own directors and screenwriters. ”

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded and turned to the crowd, "This script, I only completed the outline, the complete script, I want to find other screenwriters to help me complete it." In addition to the two projects just mentioned, we will continue to do the second season of "Shared Youth" next year. In the second season, we tried to use the original cast as much as possible, but Lin Qisan and I will not continue to be producers, and we need to find another producer. I won't have my own project as a director next year, and Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan have no idea of trying to become directors for the time being, so we all need people as producers, directors, and screenwriters. ”

"Our company doesn't sign artists," Xiao Yao continued, "but our company can sign some professional producers, directors, and screenwriters." ”

"Are you classmates from Yandian Shenxi?" someone asked.

"Including, but not limited to, them. Xiao Yao said, "The most important thing is to look at ability, followed by experience, and then style." The directors and screenwriters of our Shenxi TV series, those with the best grades and those who are sure to direct the second season can sign them, and the other few can be observed and observed, and the director and screenwriter of Yandian's movie will be watched after the movie is released. We call young people, and we don't just sign young people, when we meet a good director who is capable and experienced but has no contract on him, we can also try to fight for it, as for screenwriters, I prefer the screenwriter method of division of labor and cooperation, and it doesn't matter if you sign more young people. ”

"Understood!" everyone nodded, apparently agreeing to include this item in the work plan for the new year.

"Finally, there's another thing, which is also related to the project. Xiao Yao said, "Although our company is called Young People Film and Television Company, I don't want to just make movies and TV series, and I want to try documentary projects next year." ”

"Documentary?" the crowd was surprised again.

"Although there are few film and television companies making documentaries, it is not impossible. Zhao Rui took the lead and said, "What subject do you want to shoot?"

"You definitely don't want to make any corporate documentary," Lin Qisan speculated, "Is it about environmental protection? As a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Environment Programme, you really regard environmental protection as your task? Do you want to shoot the smog in Yanjing?"

"This is a good idea!" Xiao Yao touched his chin and said, "But this kind of thing is not easy to shoot under normal circumstances, and if you shoot it, you may be banned, and if you really want to shoot this subject, it makes sense for me, the goodwill ambassador, to personally participate in the shooting." But for next year's documentary project, I just came up with a more interesting idea and wanted to hand it over to someone else to shoot, and I didn't plan to do it myself. After all, I still have a lot of things to do such as filming!"

"What's the more fun idea?" everyone asked with interest.

When it comes to documentaries, everyone's first feeling is that it is related to seriousness, and Xiao Yao said that it is fun, and everyone has to be curious about it.

"Food!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Food documentary?" everyone was a little surprised at first, and then the eyes of several people in the audience lit up.

"To be precise, it should be food and culture!" Xiao Yao said, "I'm just an idea now, so I don't do any copywriting, so let's talk about it." The main content of this documentary is to talk about the food ecology of various parts of China. Through the various aspects of Chinese cuisine, it shows the rituals, ethics and other aspects of culture brought by food to Chinese people's life, sees Chinese characteristic ingredients and a series of elements related to food that constitute the unique temperament of Chinese cuisine, and understands the delicacy and longevity of Chinese food culture. ”

The documentary that Xiao Yao wanted to make was "A Bite of China" in his previous life, so he simply used the introduction of that documentary to introduce it.

"According to my thoughts," Xiao Yao continued, "this documentary is not in the form of a movie, and it will not be released in theaters, but in the form of a TV series, in seasons and episodes. There are so many Chinese delicacies, the material is absolutely enough, if the first season is done well, you can continue to do the second and third seasons. ”

"Do you want to make a series again, one a year?" Lin Qisan said with a smile, "It seems that you are really deeply affected by American dramas!"

Xiao Yao smiled and continued: "But this is not easy to shoot. I think there is a lot of work to be done in the early stage of research alone, and there will definitely be a lot of places to go during the shooting. I estimate that the production cycle of this first season will take about a year to ensure the quality. In a year's time, I may be able to spare it in the future, but I will definitely not be able to do it next year, so I don't plan to do this project myself, but I plan to find seven or eight directors and a dozen photographers to work together to complete the first season of this documentary. ”

"Seven or eight directors and more than a dozen photographers?" Zhao Rui said, "So exciting?"

"But the film and television company opened by a few of our young actors, spending so much energy and cost to make a documentary about food and culture, it sounds absolutely interesting!" Zhu Zitong said, "Even if it doesn't make money in the end, I am very much in favor of it!"

"We're in favor of it too!" said the others.

"Since you directly expressed your approval, then I won't write any copy. Xiao Yao said, "The production department helped me find a few documentary directors and photographers who are good at and experienced in this field, and I will interview them directly after finding them, and it is estimated that there will be three specific executive producers." ”

"Okay!" The person in charge of the production department nodded in agreement and wrote down Xiao Yao's request.

"That's all I have to say. Xiao Yao looked at Zhao Rui and the others, "It's your turn next, do you have anything to say?"

"No!" Zhao Rui shook his head, "What do we have to say?"

"Next year's plan," Xiao Yao said, "I've said so much, don't you have any project proposals to talk about?"

"My plan for next year is to act! If you have a good book, take it, go and act, and wait if you don't have it. Zhao Rui said, "I'm not like you, you can write a script outline in a few days and come up with a documentary idea." I've been busy with movie releases these days, and I haven't come across any scripts or stories that I like, and I don't have the idea of asking the company to start a project. ”

"Me too!" Zhu Zitong also said.

"I saw a good one recently, and I had some ideas for making it into a TV series. Lin Qisan said, "But if I operate alone, I don't have any confidence, and there is no role in the book that I am particularly suitable for me and that I especially want to play, so I am a little hesitant about whether to propose the company to open this project." It's not like you are writing a script for Sister Xi, my will is not very strong. ”

"Let's talk about it. Xiao Yao said, "When the company opens a project, it doesn't have to be one of us to participate, as long as it is worth filming, it can be filmed without our people." Tell me what the name is, what it is about, the popularity of the original work, the fan base or something, and let everyone discuss it. ”

"This is very long, and I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it clearly for a while. This is Tan Meixiang, but there are a lot of book fans, I'm afraid that it will not be adapted well, or it will be banned if it is filmed!" Lin Qisan said.

"Tan Meixiang?" Xiao Yao glanced at Lin Qisan amusedly, then at Nina, and said with a smile, "Will you watch that?"

"Okay, don't talk about this!" Xiao Yao saw that there was a trace of embarrassment on both of their faces, waved his hand and said, "Whether it's good or not is adapted is a screenwriter's business, and if the TV station can't broadcast it, it can cooperate with video websites to make online dramas, and the scale of online dramas should be slightly looser." Of course, the most important thing is quality. Since you can't tell for a while, send us the title of the book, and we'll find a time to read it all, and then find a time to discuss it!"

"Okay!" Lin Qisan nodded hurriedly, "I'll send it to you after the meeting in a while." ”

"What about the others?" Xiao Yao looked at the others.

Zhu Zitong, Sun Tingting and others all shook their heads.

"What about the bosses?" Xiao Yao looked at the company's executives again.

"After our TV series aired, the company received some scripts, and some companies and independent producers expressed interest in working with us. "A tall pipe," we did some preliminary screening. ”

"Those who want to cooperate, those who have a script can consider it, and those who don't have a script can wait until they have a script. Xiao Yao said, "The scripts you screened out, take them out and take a look!"

"Mr. Xiao, of course there is no problem in reading the script," the high pipe, "but there are several copies here, and we may not be able to read them all at night." Also, now you've identified several projects for next year, and none of these projects have yet to be assessed for production costs, and these scripts have also not been evaluated for production costs. Now we have only one project of our three projects that have revenue, and there are two movies that have not been released, I don't know what the specific situation is, we plan too many projects, is it a little too big? Besides, the company does not have the personnel and ability to operate several projects at the same time. ”

"Yes!" Xiao Yao thought about it, nodded, and said in his heart, "It seems that it is indeed a little unrealistic to determine the work plan for the coming year on this day." ”

"Then let's do it, the script will be collected first. Xiao Yao said, "The projects we are discussing today will make a budget assessment of the production cost as soon as possible." These projects must be of relatively high priority, and after the two movies are released at the beginning of the year, the box office results come out, and the income can be calculated, let's consider whether to open other projects according to the specific situation. ”

Seeing Xiao Yao listening to persuasion, several executives present breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, with the company's current financial situation, it is not a problem to open a few more projects, the most important thing is that the first project is profitable, the cost of the latter two projects is not high, and the opportunity to make money is not small. But what the executives are afraid of is that Xiao Yao, a young man who seems to be smooth sailing and has not suffered any setbacks since his debut, is blindly confident and recklessly spreads the stall too big.

Xiao Yao also has shares in other companies, a studio at home, and most of the other young shareholders are also worth a lot of money at home, that is, there are several projects that will lose money next year, and several executives are not worried that the company will go bankrupt next year, but the impact on their psychology and the company's employees will not be small.

"Is there anything else?" Xiao Yao looked at the crowd.

"According to the several project plans that Mr. Xiao has determined," a senior pipeline, "in addition to the company to sign its own producers, directors and screenwriters, other departments may also need to add some more manpower." ”

"No problem, then let's recruit!" Xiao Yao said, "The bosses of your various departments discuss with the personnel department, make their own plans and ideas, and there is no need to discuss them with a few of us." ”

"Okay, Mr. Xiao!" Several executives nodded, "There are no others!"

"Okay, then that's the end of today's meeting! Thank you for your hard work!" Xiao Yao stood up and said.

Xiao Yao announced the adjournment of the meeting. Several executives greeted him, got up and packed up his things and left the conference room.

Lin Qisan didn't leave, grabbed Xiao Yao and asked, "Bayi, I see that the character of Sister Yin Xi in your script outline has a younger brother, who is about the same age as the male protagonist, do you think I am suitable?"

"Do you want to participate in the drama between me and Sister Xi?" Xiao Yao asked with some surprise.

"Hmm!" Lin Qisan nodded.

"I'm also interested, there is a suitable role, and I will also arrange one!" Zhao Rui also smiled and leaned over.

"I said you two," Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "If you want to act, you can't find a notebook?"

"I just want to act with Sister Xi!" Lin Qisan said.

"I'm like you, I haven't acted in an urban idol drama before, I want to try what it's like!" Zhao Rui said.

"What about you?" Xiao Yao looked at the others.

"I don't know how to act, but I don't mind a cameo role if the timing doesn't conflict. Zhou Zhihao took the lead and raised his hand with a smile.

"We also want to play together, regardless of the size of the characters, the number of scenes, you look at the arrangement. Zhu Zitong and Nina both said.

"I'll be exempt!" Sun Tingting shook her head with a smile, "I'm afraid that if I'm present, you and Sister Xi will be embarrassed when filming intimate scenes, so I won't mix it this time!"

"Okay!" Xiao Yao thought for a while, "But except for the role that Haozi requested, the other few of you will wait for the script to be completed, and you will read the script and choose your favorite role to participate in the audition." If you pass the audition, you will go on, and if you don't pass, you will break your thoughts, and I will not open the back door here. ”

"Cut~" Lin Qisan pouted, "With the appearance conditions, acting skills and fame of several of us, the male and female protagonists of idol dramas are more than enough, and they can't pass the audition for a supporting role in an idol drama?"

"This time, you're not a producer, director, and screenwriter, but someone else is a producer and director. Zhao Rui also said, "As long as you don't deliberately get in the way as a producer, I don't worry that we won't be able to pass a few auditions." ”
