Chapter Ninety-Four: The Head Is As Big as a Fight

Minghu culture has indeed begun to have problems in the TV series.

was originally limited in manpower, when the entire film and television department was just starting to start, focusing on TV series, there were many directors under it at that time, everyone worked loosely and quickly, and they all made one by one, that feeling, of course, very cool. Later, Li Qian took the lead, and after accumulating a certain amount of shooting and production experience, he began to move on to more complex, more demanding, and more rigorous films, and he succeeded at once. Since then, the entire film and television department of Minghu Culture has begun to quickly turn to film.

Originally, movies have heard of the film industry, but TV series have never heard of the TV drama industry.

TV series are popular, popular, and purely commercial, and its interests are actually not small, but no matter which country or market it is, its positioning has always been lower than that of movies. And in many places, it can be regarded as a derivative market of the film industry, which is attached to the film market.

In China, it is very simple, and one sentence is enough to summarize: movies are more compelling than TV series!

Therefore, Li Qian's main direction of work became movies, and Jin Han was soon reluctant to make any more TV series, and then Zhao He, Feng Bicheng, and now Lu Lingxi is also going to start making movies, even Sun Yuting, although she directed a "Princess Huanzhu Part III", but then she would rather be an assistant director for Li Qian, and she has followed several movies, and is unwilling to direct TV series anymore - then, if there is no accident, the director of the second part of "The Matrix", Li Qian has preliminarily selected her. Even the second part of the future "Avatar" may be her.

So, it's awkward.

With the rapid development of Minghu Culture in the film market, there are fewer and fewer TV drama directors on the side of the film and television department - up to now, there are still two people left who are signed by Minghu Culture itself. One Han Shunzhang, there is no way, Li Qian is in charge of the movie, he, the manager of the film and television department, must be in charge of the TV series, and the other is the assistant director of Jin Han back then, Zhao Ming.

What to do?

Han Shunzhang said: We can't lose the TV series, this part has great interests and high profits, and occupies the position of the number one producer of domestic TV dramas, first, it is convenient for us to push newcomers at any time, and the risk of promoting newcomers in TV dramas is lower than that of movies, for those young actors and actresses, they are not afraid of embarrassment in their acting skills;

So, he suggested, dig people.

The brand of Minghu Culture is hard enough, famous enough and loud enough, and there is no shortage of money, as long as you want to dig it, it can be said that other TV drama production companies in China basically have no power to resist. I don't dare to say all, but as long as he is caught by Minghu culture and is willing to dig it, digging him in half out of ten is not a big problem.

As long as the hoe is swung well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down!

Minghu Culture has people, money, a team, good actors, good scripts, and no shortage of good broadcast channels, just a few reliable and good directors to film with the team.

Even Minghu Culture has fully possessed the foundation of the "producer-centric system" that is currently only prevalent in Hollywood, that is, people like Han Shunzhang, Huang Wenjuan, Qin Nuo, and Du Min who have experience in film and TV series production and production directly provoke a play, from the script to the backstage to the actors, all of them are in charge, and the director is only responsible for filming.

Think about it, how easy it is to dig up a few people!

It not only strengthens itself and weakens others, but also ensures that Minghu Culture does not have to reduce production in the TV drama market, as long as it maintains a general level, it can maintain its hegemony in the TV drama market!

It's just a lot of benefits.

But after thinking about it for a few days, Li Qian brought Han Shunzhang and Jin Han to them, and solemnly told them: This road can't be taken!

We don't poach people.

Of course, this doesn't poach people, it just says, don't poach people who have become famous in other companies, and there is no shortage of filming at present.

Those who take the initiative to come and ask for refuge are not counted.

People take the initiative to come to the door, or have the willingness to cooperate, or simply want to sign in to Minghu Culture, which is of course welcome and must not be turned away.

Those who are not too famous, newcomers, or those who have obvious highlights in their previous works, but are not popular, and have not gained enough fame and follow-up shooting opportunities, can still try to get in touch.

As long as you are willing to abide by the rules of Minghu culture and follow this way, you can talk about cooperation or defection.

To be honest, this decision is not easy to understand.

If you don't take the obvious and safe way, you have to work hard to salvage something else, which must be a bit silly in anyone's eyes.

But Han Shunzhang and Jin Han have known and cooperated with Li Qian for many years, although they also feel that it is a bit silly to do this, but they still understand Li Qian's intentions after all.

It's like Li Qian releasing an album by himself, and asking the big-name singers in the company to release albums, they should try to avoid new singers and new albums when there are more new albums, it's the same.

He is the most bizarre No. 1 person in the domestic entertainment industry.

If it weren't for the fact that he was really bullied and deliberately vindictive, he insisted on not embarrassing anyone, he especially liked that there are constantly newcomers and talented people in this circle, bringing fresh interest and emotion to the world and this time and space.

It's really silly!

In the whole of China, and even in the world, few people can be so stupid!

But on the contrary, after staying by his side for a long time, I don't know whether I got used to it, adapted, or was brainwashed by him, anyway, when I heard such suggestions and requests, Han Shunzhang and Jin Han glanced at each other and sighed in their hearts, but they would not have any objections.

Even like every time in the past, I have an indescribable admiration for him from the bottom of my heart.

So it's brainwashed!

So what to do?

Jin Han, who had not been involved in this kind of thing much, put forward an idea and said: Then why don't we also have an audition? In fact, to put it bluntly, isn't it recruitment? Other jobs can be recruited, and directors can also be recruited! Sign an employment contract and pay five social insurances and one housing fund! A director is also a job!

If you are willing to come, let's talk about it, we have the ability and level of others, and they also like our treatment and future, then sign the contract.

It's a little bit worse to look at each other, so you can neither keep it nor dig hard!

Li Qian felt that this idea was more reliable.

As a result, "A Chinese Ghost Story" has just been confirmed, Zhu Qiang is still running his drama tour in the field, and he doesn't even know that he has been selected as the leading actor of the great director Jin Han's new movie, and the audition news for the role of Nie Xiaoqian has not yet been released, but Minghu Culture has begun to recruit directors first.

Jin Han and Han Shunzhang are in charge of this matter, and they are in charge personally, and Feng Bicheng, who has returned to Shuntianfu after filming "Crazy Stone", was also pulled over to be a judge, because of his relationship with Feng Yumin, he is actually very familiar with the TV series. In addition, Zou Wenhuai also came over to judge from the perspective of the industry's internal evaluation system, and as soon as the four of them sat there, the matter began.

Of course, if the time is right, Li Qian should and he is willing to take charge of this matter himself, but unfortunately, the time cannot be opened.

At the beginning of November, this matter had just started, Lu Lingxi came back from the United States, everyone met, and then Lu Lingxi ordered his own general, and broke the gang of people in the company who currently have no drama from beginning to end, and the whole crew quickly pulled up.

Qin Nuo serves as the executive producer, Li Qian's male lead, and Qin Jingjing's female lead.

A few days later, the charter flight over there was decided, and the entire crew of more than 50 people went straight to the United States.

It's fast enough to dumb all crews in China and even Hollywood.

This is the biggest benefit of collectivization.

…………

Minghu Culture is going to recruit a director.

This news spread like a fly in the domestic film and television circle.

In the past few years, starting from "The Legend of the New White Lady", Minghu Culture has stabilized at four or five films a year from the initial one drama a year, to two dramas a year, until the last two or three years, and each one is taken out, and it is the absolutely invincible king of ratings at that time. Not to mention TV series such as "The Legend of the New White Lady", "Princess Returning the Pearl", and "Carry on Love to the End", which have long been recognized as classics.

In the past few years, there is no doubt that Minghu Culture has become a golden sign in the domestic TV drama production industry - for TV stations, Minghu Culture production, which means that the ratings will explode! For actors, as long as they get the protagonist of Minghu Culture TV series, even if they are not the protagonist, they are an important role, which means that they are about to become popular! For the most difficult directors, a company like Minghu Culture that pushes one hot film, such a company that likes to use newcomer directors and every director is successful, is simply an absolute holy place in my heart!

Jin Han, Han Shunzhang, Zhao He, Lu Lingxi, Sun Yuting, Zhao Ming...... Each of them, before signing in to Minghu Culture and directing Minghu Culture's works, was unknown, and even if they were famous, they were only famous in some small circles within the industry.

There is only one Feng Bicheng, before entering Minghu culture, he already had a famous work, and it is also a famous work of movies, but he hit the street to that extent in his last work, and he is not much better than a newcomer - even, for many companies, they would rather give a talented newcomer a chance than throw the opportunity and money into such a street director who once made investors lose money and wanted to jump off the building.

However, at Minghu Culture, they all succeeded.

Before directing "Meteor Garden", Jin Han's most famous work was probably a series of song MVs he shot for Liao Liao and He Runqing. But "Meteor Garden" plus "Full House of Romance", of course, and the "Dragon Gate Inn" that has just been released, have paved the way for his successful Cotai Avenue one by one.

Others, no different.

The point is that even the eldest Jin Han is actually less than forty years old this year!

Han Shunzhang, Lu Lingxi, Zhao He, and Zhao Ming are all in their early thirties.

Especially Sun Yuting, as a 96-level student of the directing department of Suncheon Film Academy, she was only twenty-four years old when she filmed the third part of "Princess Huanzhu" in one fell swoop!

In the industry, as we all know, except for a very few people who are really talented enough to succeed casually, the vast majority of directors have to toss, learn and hibernate between various crews from the age of 20, and if you are lucky, you will not get your first opportunity to direct independently until you are in your thirties, and if you are a little unlucky, when you get this opportunity to show your ability to a certain extent, you are already in your forties. And those who have accumulated a wealth of experience year after year may not get even one opportunity to direct independently until they finally retire.

Comparison between the two sides, envy or not?

And in China's film and television industry, how many people want to be directors?

Millions upon millions!

Who wouldn't want to come out on top?

But how many people can really get the opportunity?

How many have come out of the way after getting the opportunity?

When the news that Minghu Culture was going to recruit directors and expand its director team came out, the entire film and television industry quickly ushered in a seemingly small but far-reaching shock.

Soon, this recruitment announcement really appeared on the official website of Minghu Culture, as well as on the official account of Minghu Culture on the iFLYTEK blog, and there was also an registration form.

Within three days, the total number of downloads of this registration form was as high as more than 30,000!

And the valid registration form received in the official mailbox of Minghu Culture with complete information is even more than 1,000 copies more than the number of downloads!

Looking at these two figures, Rao is Jin Han, the proposer of the director's audition, couldn't help but be dumbfounded - he knew that there were a lot of people in the circle who were actually missing just an opportunity, but he didn't expect that the number of these people would be so numerous.

He also didn't expect that today's Minghu culture has such a strong appeal in the domestic film and television circle, specifically, in the small circle of film and television directors and aspiring film and television directors!

There are still 12 days left before the half-month registration cycle given at the beginning, and it is conceivable that the number of people will definitely increase. And when on the fourth day, more than 5,000 new downloads of this registration form were added, and more than 2,000 valid registration forms were received in the company's dedicated mailbox, they knew that what they were about to face was probably an unusually heavy workload.

Because there are more than 50,000 applicants!

At this time, according to the established plan in advance, the TV series "The Condor Heroes", directed and produced by Han Shunzhang, has also begun preparations.

In other words, the burden of this director selection will most likely fall on Jin Han!

Director Kim Dae's head is as big as a fight!

But there is no way, the suggestion was put forward by him, and he himself took the initiative to ask to join this selection, and not long ago, he just expressed his attitude to Li Qian, saying that he would seriously perform his duties as the company's film and television director.

So, there was no way, he pulled Zhuang Ding everywhere.

The teachers of the film academy, the big-name actors who have cooperated, and a group of agents who have already had considerable experience on the side of Minghu Culture, of course, as well as the contracted actors of experienced companies such as Bai Yujing , Zhou Zhiyu , etc., were all pulled over by him and began to conduct preliminary screening of the registration form one by one - the base is too large, and only a set of elimination rules can be formulated.

In these registration forms, the origins of those who participate in the registration and want to become the contracted directors of Minghu Culture are simply varied - there are actors, photographers, assistant directors, scene notes, drama affairs, screenwriters, college students, university teachers, and even singers!

Of course, there are also many applicants with particularly high gold content, such as those who have already directed works.

Such a person passed the first level directly at that time.

But when a large group of people were looking at the mail every day and conducting the initial screening at a very fast speed, a lot of mail continued to be sent every day.

Faced with such a task, Jin Han, who has always hated this kind of thing, is almost desperate.

In the end, he had to completely postpone his "A Chinese Ghost Story" project in order to complete the job from the beginning to the end, which can be regarded as an effort to fulfill his responsibilities as the company's film and television director.

At this time, Han Shunzhang's "The Condor Heroes" has begun large-scale preparations.

With the great success of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", no one will question the adaptation potential of Jin Yong's works, especially "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", as the second part of the "Condor Trilogy" under the name of "Jin Yong", not only undertakes the story and basic character design of the first part, but is naturally one of the most anticipated Jin Yong adaptations at present, and even the book itself is also an absolute classic in the minds of countless martial arts fans in China.

Yang Guo, Xiaolongnu, Guo Xiang, Li Mochou......

Many of the characters in the book are classic characters that readers will never forget.

Han Shunzhang is also under a lot of pressure.

Even compared to when he first filmed "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the pressure was even greater when he tried to adapt the Jin Yong drama for the first time - he knew that with the success of the previous drama in the past, the audience's expectations for this "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" must have been raised to a very, very high level.

The successful portrayal of Condor characters such as Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Huang Laoxi, Hong Qigong, Lao Naughty, Yang Kang, Mu Nianci, Ouyang Ke, Mei Chaofeng and other Condor characters in the TV series has also set a benchmark for the shaping of Yang Guo, Xiaolongnu, Li Mochou, Guo Xiang and other equally classic characters in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Especially the choice of the hero and heroine, it is not easy to be precise and eye-catching.

And at this time, he suddenly received a phone call, which made Han Shunzhang's head even bigger - because the person who called was called Fu Hongxue.
