The director is the backbone of a film's creation, that's right, if you put it in Xiangjiang, the director is the soul of a film's creation, Xiangjiang film is absolutely the director's system, it can be said that the quality of a movie has a lot to do with the director.

Because of its special geographical location and great ties with the mainland, Xiangjiang created a golden period for their economy to take off from the 80s to the end of the 90s, and because the economic prosperity brought great prosperity to the film market, coupled with good copyright protection, it can be said that that period was the golden age of Xiangjiang films.

Because of the backwardness of the economy in the mainland, when the box office of tens of millions of dollars and tens of millions of salaries of filmmakers in Xiangjiang emerged, our filmmakers were still struggling to survive, and because the film production and cinema chains were all state-run, the treatment of filmmakers was very low when the economy was not opened, and they often created a very high box office, but the low remuneration was pitiful.

Therefore, some people went to Xiangjiang to mix, and some people cooperated with Xiangjiang, and the huge gap between the two situations made many people choose to vote with their feet, and because of the reasons such as videotapes, pirated discs, and TV stations buying copyrights, Xiangjiang Films left a deep impression in the hearts of the audience with its incomparable entertainment, and they were full of good feelings about Xiangjiang.

After the 97 financial turmoil, the economy of Xiangjiang was hit hard, coupled with the Hollywood movies in the world, Xiangjiang films began to decline, just in time for the return of Xiangjiang, so it opened the communication channel between the mainland and the Xiangjiang film circle, and in a few years, the state will issue a document to encourage them to integrate into the mainland, setting off a boom of Xiangjiang filmmakers going north.

However, at this point in time in 2000, when mainland entertainment was still in a period of wild growth, the first batch of Xiangjiang filmmakers who went north looked down on us, so they called working in the north to make money.

Now our economy is developing well, but the film market is actually shrinking badly, copyright has not been effectively protected, and private enterprises are not allowed to participate in the theater chain, so a large number of filmmakers have gone to make TV series to make money, and making movies is a money-losing job, which is the consensus of insiders.

Of course Zhou Bai knows this situation, as a member of the mainland film industry, how could he not know that movies are actually difficult now, but it is very easy to make money by making TV series, and the production is rough, as long as the story is not bad, and the actors' performances are not too problematic, they can still make money.

But Zhou Bai really loves movies, no matter how difficult it is, he can't help but shoot, to be honest, fifteen million is almost all of his activity funds, these money is earned by investing in the first few movies and signing two endorsements, if there is no return, Zhou Bai will return to the pre-liberation period overnight.

"Now is not a good time to invest a lot of money in making movies, the film market has shrunk so much, half a year has passed, and now no movie has reached 10 million at the box office, the highest is Director Sun's "Beautiful Mother", which is less than eight million, and the others are two or three million, I have no confidence in recovering the cost at all, maybe you will suffer poverty with me then. Holding Yuan Xiang's hand and walking on the side of the road, now it's time to take a walk after dinner, Zhou Bai said to Yuan Xiang.

"It's okay, I'll raise you. Yuan Yang said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, I'll eat your soft rice then, you can't dislike me then. Zhou Bai said with a grin.

"In the future, you will do all the laundry, dishwashing, and cleaning, and I will ask a cleaning aunt to come back, do you want to pay you some more wages?" Yuan Yu glanced at Zhou Bai and said.

"Okay, but I don't think that's what I'm doing as a cleaner. Zhou Bai nodded and said.

"Isn't it these?" asked Yuan Yu strangely.

"Waiting!" Zhou Bai said with a wicked smile.

Soon, Zhou Bai grinned, and as soon as Yuan Yang grabbed the soft meat on his body, he didn't mention the sourness.

"Think about it, you have made enough money in the past few years, and you have earned a net worth of 10 million without a sound, and now we have bought a house, I used to think that buying a house is a particularly distant thing, just thinking about when I can make more money, and there is a place for me to live in the capital. After making trouble for a while, Yuan Yang said with emotion.

"The restaurant brings me more than one million income every year, in addition to the dividends to Lao Jia from the overseas distribution of "Xiao Wu", I also earned more than 3 million, and I earned about 200,000 yuan from filming salaries, and the income of "Suzhou River" also adds up to two or three million, and I asked them to pay the full amount for a year in advance, a total of 3.5 million, plus the dividends brought by my uncle's investment in TV series, that's all. Zhou Bai calculated the account for Yuan Yang, why the Wang brothers envied him, it was because his film made a lot of money in the overseas distribution rights.

Lao Jia bought a house, Lou Ye also bought a house, it can be said that these two movies have made a lot of money, after all, they are sold for US dollars, and the sum of 108,000 US dollars in a country is very considerable, otherwise why do so many people want to win awards overseas, there are great benefits in this.

"It cost a million to invest in "Chinese New Year's Eve Kiss", it didn't cost much to open a studio, mainly salary expenses, Liu Guoyang I gave him the right to dividends, he is not short of money now, if he is not optimistic about us, he will not join, someone asked him to be the general manager for 200,000 a year, he did not go. Zhou Bai talked about all these situations now.

"What are you going to do now, crew, or use the team of "Chinese New Year's Eve Kiss"? You can be the producer, but the production team is not enough, the director team is not enough, and the art, photography, and recording teams are almost in a state of shortage. Yuan Yu said worriedly, she has been in the film and television industry for two years, and she knows that the big crew is very different from the small crew.

There are more than 30 people in the small crew, at least more than 100 people in the large crew, or even more than two or three hundred, according to the investment of "Fifty First Loves", it is normal for the crew to have more than 100 members.

"So I am willing to spend two million to find director Xiangjiang to shoot, he will definitely bring people into the group, when the time comes, I will break up the people he brought, I would rather take a long time, I would rather spend time running-in, can not let them all stay together, I expect that one million is the remuneration of these people, they are more expensive, they should pay tuition, I hope to train the crew members of "Chinese New Year's Eve" into my team, at least part of the team. ”

Zhou Bai laughed, how many people does the crew need to operate, he has a number in his heart, no matter who Ah Guan finds, he will definitely bring people into the group over there, not to mention the problem of communication, at least there must be some people who are used to it around to film.

"You've already made a plan, will you be able to control these people when the time comes?" said Yuan Yu with some worry.

"I also borrowed some people from Director Zhang, I can ensure that the mainland personnel account for the majority, I am not afraid that they will turn the sky upside down, and what kind of situation will be put into it when signing the contract, if they dare to make trouble, just wait to lose money, am I really a vegetarian?" Zhou Bai said mysteriously, Zhang Yimou's team members are not soil buns, and the team from Xiangjiang may not be able to convince them, and the crew will present a competitive atmosphere at that time, which is also a good thing for filming.
