Six of the seven major shareholders of the young film and television company are star actors. On the last day of the year, the six of them went to two different local satellite TV to attend the New Year's Eve party, and the premiere of Zhao Rui's movie was scheduled for the official release, that is, three days before New Year's Day, December 28. The New Year's Eve party has to be rehearsed, and the premiere also has to make some corresponding preparations. In order not to affect the two tasks of these six star bosses, the first annual meeting of the young film and television company was arranged in the week before the Gregorian New Year.

Xiao Yao and the other seven are all major shareholders of the company, but none of them hold specific administrative positions in the company. In terms of company administration, experienced professionals in the industry are hired. Several of the top executives, in addition to their salaries, also received a small amount of company shares as incentives.

There is no annual meeting for young people, only a year-end summary meeting. This summary meeting is not an all-hands meeting, but a meeting of the company's shareholders and executives. Although Xiao Yao and other seven major shareholders all attended, it was not a few of them who spoke in the early stage. The summary of the company's work is reported by the heads of various departments.

This film and television company was established in May this year, and so far it has invested in the production of a total of three film and television works. Seven months to invest in the production of three film and television works is not a small amount for a film and television company, and certainly not too much. But considering that this is a new company that has only been established for less than a year, it seems even more rare, especially since all three projects are invested independently by this company.

In terms of finance, only one of the three projects invested by the company this year has been broadcast on TV stations and the Internet, and the other two film projects have not yet been released. This also means that after investing in three projects and now only one project is earning, then the company must be in a state of loss in this financial year.

At the end of the year, the company as a whole did not make money, and naturally there was no shareholder dividend at the end of the year. Of course, Xiao Yao and his major shareholders don't have any ideas about this, and those executives with equity dividends don't care much about it.

Although the company as a whole did not make money this year, on the individual projects completed, the company did not lose money, but made a profit. Considering that this year is the first year of the company's establishment, and more importantly, there are still two movies that have not been released, even if there are no dividends, the company's employees are not optimistic about the company's prospects.

After the work has been summarized, the next step is to plan the company's work in the new year. From this place on, Xiao Yao took over the entire meeting.

"Thank you very much for your contribution to the company in the past year!" Xiao Yao first thanked the company executives present, and then directly mentioned the money, "Although there is no dividend this year, the company's finances are okay, and the year-end bonus is all issued according to the standard of two to three months." A minimum of two months and a maximum of three months, the exact amount is decided by the heads of the respective departments. For those of you who receive an annual salary, you will be counted according to the standard of dividing your annual salary by twelve months. All the distributions will be completed before the Lunar New Year!"

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao!" the company executives all laughed and applauded.

"Okay," Xiao Yao waved his hand, and waited for everyone to be quiet before continuing, "After talking about benefits, let's talk about next year's work plan." ”

"First of all, I would like to mention a few projects that are confirmed to be carried out next year. Xiao Yao said, "First, our company will invest in a TV drama project, the producers are Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting from Huaxia Drama Academy, they are responsible for the script, and most of the staff in front of and behind the scenes will be graduates of Huaju." In addition to paying for our company, we are also responsible for some administrative matters. ”

"Mr. Xiao, it's not enough for you to compete with newcomers in Guangyandian and Shenju, but you also want to pull in newcomers from Huaju and make up the works of graduates of the three major film and television schools in Huaxia?" someone asked with a smile.

"Yes, you Yandian and Shenju fight in the ring," someone continued, "Three of our seven major shareholders graduated from Shenju, two Yandian graduated, and one is the daughter of Yandian's teacher, but there are no Huaju people!"

"No way, this is what a few of us promised Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting. Xiao Yao shrugged, "I didn't look for them when I established the company, and this kind of thing is not good not to take them." ”

"However," Xiao Yao continued, "we are not in conflict with the interests of the company in doing this project. This project of Huaju is jointly invested by our company and the two of them, we are the producer, the two of them are jointly produced, and the copyright of the film and television works belongs to our company. Isn't this TV series of our Shenju graduates making money, and finding graduates of Huaju to film will not necessarily lose money. The Chinese opera project is expected to start in May and June, we have already carried out similar projects, and we have experience working with newcomers, and I hope that this Chinese opera project can do better than the one we applied for. ”

"Two individual producers can't make much money, right? This is almost our separate investment!" someone asked, "Mr. Xiao, the projects that our company currently invests in are all wholly-owned, which is actually not in line with the conventional operation in the industry, is it too risky?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "So I don't plan to invest in all projects independently in the future." ”

"The first two projects that our company invested in were all projects with new people. Xiao Yao continued, "On the one hand, the newcomers are not famous, and the value is low, and we can afford it alone, on the other hand, the newcomers are not famous and have no appeal, and this kind of project is not very favored by others, only we are willing to pay for them." Of course, with the example of our Shenxi, there may be companies willing to cooperate with us, but in order to maintain the consistency of these three projects, we still invest separately!"

"Looking for graduates to be the main creative team to film, we were the first to do this, no one dared to cooperate with us before, so we don't want to share this honor or gimmick with others. Zhao Rui continued.

After the first two project plans of the young company were announced, it was not only Xiao Yao who received calls from Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting, but Zhao Rui was also complained by the two of them. The project had been discussed with them at the time.

"But independent investment is not our company's tradition, and not all other projects operate like this," Xiao Yao picked up the folder in front of him and raised it, "Like this!" Xiao Yao said, and motioned for an administrative assistant in charge of meeting minutes to distribute the next bunch of folders to others.

"This is a TV series project plan, and it will be our company's first project next year. Xiao Yao continued, "The document in front of you is the outline of the script I wrote. For this project, I am going to cooperate with Yin Xi's studio. I originally wanted to discuss with you at the meeting whether to invest in this project, but because Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan had already agreed to the project, I omitted the review step and notified everyone. However, if you feel that there is a problem, you can also raise it. ”

"The outline of the script has been written?" Zhao Rui and the others all knew Xiao Yao's plan to cooperate with Yin Xi, and after getting the folder, they immediately opened it and looked at it.

"The beautiful sister who often invites you to dinner?" Lin Qisan couldn't help but complain when he read the title, "What is your name? It's too straightforward, isn't it? Why does it feel like the name of a Japanese and Korean drama?"

This script outline was indeed written by Xiao Yao according to a Korean drama in his previous life, and he didn't even change his name. However, Xiao Yao has only written a script outline now, applying the general character relationship and plot direction, and does not plan to copy it completely according to the Korean drama in his previous life, and will definitely make some localized modifications when writing a detailed script to improve the details.

"This is an outline, and I'm going to find someone to help me improve the script later. If there is a better name, it is not impossible to change it. Xiao Yao said to Lin Qisan, "Either you can help me come up with a name, and I'll change it if it's good!"

"I haven't even finished reading this outline, and I haven't read the general content of the story yet!" Lin Qisan said.

"Then you can take a look!" Xiao Yao said.

"Yin Xi's studio, isn't that still the company in which Mr. Xiao has a stake?"

"Well," Xiao Yao nodded, "In addition to being my own person, and because this is an urban fashion drama, I can make full use of the fashion resources of Yin Xi's studio." ”

"For urban fashion dramas, cooperating with Yin Xi's studio is indeed a good choice. Several executives nodded.

"The outline of the script looks pretty good, urban romance dramas are a very common theme, and sister and brother love has always been a topic, and there are always many interested audiences in this kind of drama. After everyone read the outline of the script, someone among the executives asked Xiao Yaodao, "Mr. Xiao, in terms of the performers, will Miss Yin Xi also act?"

Although the largest shareholders of this company are Xiao Yao and the other seven, and they all agreed to the project, it is unlikely to be cut, but it does not mean that the other executives of the company cannot express their opinions. If there are some things that they think are inappropriate, they can still try to make partial adjustments. When Xiao Yao and the others wanted to do the project of those two graduates, the company's executives also expressed their opinions.

"Yes. Xiao Yao said, "I play the male lead, and Yin Xi plays the heroine." All other characters are TBD!"

"Is it a bit risky for Miss Yin Xi to play the heroine?" an executive asked, "Although Miss Yin Xi has been an actress for a few years and has performed some works, she has never played the female lead role, is it better to play the sister of the male lead?"

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head, "Yin Xi plays the female number one, this will not change." Although she has not played the female lead before, it does not mean that she cannot play the female lead role. In terms of acting, I think she is good enough to be the heroine. When writing the script, I will also design and improve this role according to Yin Xi's own situation. ”

"The first two projects of our company are to find graduates of Shenju and Yandian, that is, your five classmates to play the leading role, the third project is Miss Sun to play the female number one, and the fourth project is Miss Yin Xi to play the female number one. One executive shook his head and laughed.

"As long as the selected actors have the strength and acting skills, and the quality of the works produced by our company is excellent, even if they are called related households, it will only become a kind of beautiful talk. Xiao Yao smiled.

"Speaking of which, I would like to announce a few rules by the way!" Xiao Yao continued.

"Rules?" everyone else looked at Xiao Yao.

"It's not the administrative aspect, these are left to you, we don't care much, the regulations I said are for the work of our company's film and television projects. Xiao Yao said, "In the future, our company will not only invest in film and television projects alone, but will also cooperate with other companies." If it is a co-producer, we don't have much say in it, and we don't ask for this, but as long as it's a project led by our company, then we must do the following. ”

"First," Xiao Yao stretched out a finger and said, "Actors are not allowed to play during the filming, and they must ensure that they only shoot our scenes during the filming, which is written in the contract, and those who do not agree would rather change actors." Of course, this is only for the main actors such as the protagonist and the big supporting role, and the small supporting roles, dragon sets, cameos, and group performances are not counted. ”

"Second," Xiao Yao stretched out another finger and said, "Whether it is a film project or a TV project, it is mainly for TV projects, the actors use the original sound, and they basically do not find another voice actor in post-production." During filming, the simultaneous sound recording is used, and if the on-site recording effect is not good, it must be supplemented by the actor himself in the later stage. This also means, don't talk about those Mr. Numbers Misses, even actors who are willing to say their lines, but don't have good line skills. Again, only for the main actors, small roles are not in this range. ”

"Third," Xiao Yao stretched out his third finger, "No matter how big an actor is, unless it is a dangerous action scene involving the actor's own safety or some professional actions, a stand-in is not used in normal literary dramas; ”

"So strict?" the others looked at Xiao Yao in surprise.

"It's not over yet," Xiao Yao continued, "but the latter ones are not for actors, but for behind the scenes." The third is about the filming of TV drama projects, and the cameraman and shooting equipment are all in accordance with the standards for filmmaking. The fourth is about props and sets, whether it's a movie or a TV project, every scene must be believable. Article 5 is about the later period. When it comes to subtitles, there must be no typos. ”

"The last rule, which includes photography, props, costumes, and post-production, is that no goofs are allowed. Xiao Yao finally said, "There are many people on the Internet who like to find goofs in film and television dramas, and sometimes it is quite joyful to watch them, but I don't want this happiness of netizens to come from our negligence." If any of the works produced by our company appear in these goofs posts or video collections, the person in charge of the project will be punished himself! ”

"Huh?" After listening to Xiao Yao's regulations, everyone present showed incredible expressions.

"Mr. Xiao, although these are all as they should be, but it is too difficult to really do them all, isn't it a little too strict?" Someone said to Xiao Yao, "Don't talk about us, I'm afraid no film and television company can do it, right?"

"It's a bit strict, but just because others can't do it doesn't mean we can't do it. Xiao Yao said, "The first two, one is the attitude of the actor, and the other is the business level of the actor, and the casting process can be guaranteed well, but the big deal is to spend more time casting." The third and fourth are the requirements of the filming period, which is nothing more than a matter of spending more money and using more snacks. The last two, although people can't guarantee 100% error, I don't ask for 100% good, but if you make a mistake, you will be punished, and after the punishment, the chance of making a mistake will naturally become smaller. ”

"In this way, we will have a lot less choice of actors. The cost of a project of the same level of production will be much higher. Zhu Zitong frowned.

"The range of actors to choose from will be small, but it's all 2022 soon, professional, non-professional, and now there are many actors who want to be stars, and there are many really good actors, so you can always choose the right actor. Xiao Yao said, "If the production cost increases, no matter how much it increases, I'm afraid it is not as high as the salary of one or two star actors, right?"

"If we can really keep it," Zhao Rui said with a smile, "our company, which specializes in finding related customers as the protagonists, may become a clear stream in the film and television industry." ”

"There are six actors in the seven of us, five of us are from professional classes, and five of the elders in the family are seniors in the circle," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Our company doesn't raise its standards, and it doesn't do better than other companies, how can it be worthy of the origin and identity of our people?"
