Chapter 332: Cultivating New People
Now among the film directors under Aurora Culture, there is no director who specializes in idol films, and idol dramas are a subdivision that Liu Ruoyi pays great attention to, and has always asked the company to find such a director.
Some time ago, I took the opportunity of the big movie "Meteor Garden" to conduct a period of screening and selected mainland director Li Shaohong as a candidate.
It's just a coincidence that Director Li also happens to be the head director of Rongxin Film and Television.
After Le Xiaowan rejected Aurora Culture's acquisition proposal, the matter was put on hold.
"Annie, you said Li Shaohong, I haven't talked about this matter to her personally, she and Le Xiaowan are inseparable from Meng Meng's inseparable relationship, if Le Xiaowan is unwilling to be acquired, the probability of signing a solo contract to Aurora Culture is relatively low. ”
called Senior Sister Liu to ask, and sure enough, there was still some trouble in this matter.
"Can you talk to Li Shaohong alone?" Liu Ruoyi frowned, "If it really doesn't work, let's change to someone else." There are so many directors in the mainland, there will always be a suitable one. ”
"Okay, I'll get in touch with her right away. The crew of "Meteor Garden" is a joint venture between the two places. We also need to set up the team as soon as possible to catch up. ”
Senior Sister Liu put this matter at the top of her schedule.
After this matter is settled, it seems that there is nothing else important.
This is the end of Aurora Culture's annual work conference.
Back at home in Xiangjiang, Liu Ruoyi didn't have anything important at hand, so she began to put up her new album.
But she didn't wait for her to choose the right songs for her album. A sudden news sent her to the capital.
"Cathy, this Crazy Stone movie script is very interesting. The director and screenwriter of this film, we have to pay special attention to it. This time in the capital, we must take this movie down. ”
After boarding the plane heading north, Liu Ruoyi instructed Cathy. "From this absurd movie script. I can see a talented director. ”
After the cutting-edge director support foundation was handed over to Professor Liu of the Beijing Film Academy, Professor Liu, who was in a hurry, moved very quickly. Just turned the new year, and the scripts of ten movies were delivered.
Other film works are just that. But when Liu Ruoyi saw "Crazy Stone", she almost laughed out loud.
It's not a question of how much money the movie "Crazy Stone" can make.
It's that Liu Ruoyi finally found the director with comedic talent, and the group of actors who shined in "Crazy Stone".
It is true that the movie "Crazy Stone" operated well and made much more money than later generations should have. Starting from the maximization of interests, Liu Ruoyi should pull this movie under the banner of Aurora Culture.
However, considering the initial establishment of the new director support fund. It is also urgently necessary to have a well-played movie to support the scene and balance the foundation's funds.
Liu Ruoyi decisively gave up the original tempting idea. decided to incubate this movie in the new director support fund, and Aurora Culture does not lack the money that this movie makes.
If nothing else, with the addition of the film "Crazy Stone", the support fund for new directors will be guaranteed, at least in the coming year.
Borrowing the omni-channel promotion and distribution capabilities of Aurora Culture, the box office revenue of the movie "Crazy Stone" is not too difficult to double that of Liu Ruoyi in his previous life.
"'Crazy Stone,' the script of this movie does look a little hilarious. It's just Sister Annie, I think the plot of this movie is still too absurd, is such a movie really worth our attention?" asked Vivian next to her, puzzled.
As the first choice of Liu Ruoyi's follow-up personal assistant, now Liu Ruoyi goes out to run errands, and also takes Vivian with Cathy to start the handover of Liu Ruoyi's personal affairs.
Judging from what Liu Ruoyi is involved in now, this process cannot be completed in a day or two.
It's more that Vivian needs to have a learning process in order to keep up with Liu Ruoyi's train of thought.
"Of course it's worth it. You see, people are getting faster and faster. The pressure left to everyone's work is very high in all aspects. So in the future film market, comedy movies will definitely be a very mainstream sector. ”
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Ruoyi began to instill some of her own forward-thinking views into the two assistants.
Cathy has decided to release the development of the main control artist. Of course, Liu Ruoyi doesn't want her to take a detour, so she must be clear about the direction of future film development.
"You see, most of Xingzai's movies are very absurd. But moviegoers just sell it. This is a very clear trend. ”
Liu Ruoyi said for example.
"In fact, Xingzai's success, in my opinion, is based on absurd comedy. And mainland film and television dramas are still a relatively blank place in this area. It's hard to come up with such a movie. Of course, it's worth our attention. ”
Liu Ruoyi continued.
"Of course. This time our focus. It's not just on the movie "Crazy Stone", but on the talent behind the movie. ”
Seeing that the eyes of the two assistants were a little confused, Liu Ruoyi then explained.
"Look. Although it is the future prospect of a director, it cannot be seen from a movie. But we can find some directors to pay attention to through a good film to approach. ”
Liu Ruoyi turned her head to Cathy and taught seriously.
"So that we don't get blind when we're looking for talent. Cathy, using a person's past works is the best way to truly judge a person's talent. ”
"So for the two of you. If you want to go further in the future, you must improve your appreciation and judgment of the development of future entertainment trends. in order to truly have their own independent judgment in this regard. ”
"Otherwise, you'll have to be a little assistant by my side, especially Vivian, you're just starting out at this point, you have to study hard, and watch more successful movies.
Look for their internal logical narrative structure and thematic style. Then compare what are the big differences between successful films from different periods.
In this way, you will slowly find some of your own feelings. ”
"Your usual job. In addition to taking care of my own business, you also have to work hard in private and study some things within the entertainment industry. ”
"Don't just look at being my assistant. In the future, the entertainment industry will be a very large and fast-growing industry.
In the process of the development of Aurora culture, we also need a large number of talents. Take advantage of this opportunity. ”
Speaking of which, Liu Ruoyi told the two of them about their positioning and future development space without hesitation.
Being a successful leader isn't just about getting your own thing right. It is also necessary to be able to bring out a large number of talents to assist in their work.
