Chapter 1188: Change
Just when Yang Ming learned the news that the Zhao family might not be good from Minister Guo, he said goodbye to Minister Guo with vigilance.
Victory Pictures.
Zhao Jianfeng sat in a spacious office, he did not directly occupy He Xinghan's original office, after all, the He family still has a little stake in Victory Pictures in his hands, he has just had a friendly cooperation with the other party, and he can't just stop recognizing people as soon as his ass drops, this is not his style of doing things.
So, he asked people to find a relatively large room as an office, and after some simple decoration, he moved in.
At this time, he was looking at the documents in his hand, which were all kinds of data that the people below had counted after finding out about Victory Pictures in the past few days.
In the process of watching, Zhao Jianfeng's brows furrowed from time to time, which showed that he was not satisfied with the current situation of Victory Pictures.
As one of the giants in the film industry, last year's annual profit was thrown off by a rising film company, and he couldn't even see his figure.
Zhao Jianfeng is very dissatisfied with this, his character is either not to do it, or to do it is the best.
Oriental DreamWorks!
He whispered the name in his mouth.
Last year, Oriental DreamWorks topped the list in the film market, both in terms of profit and the cumulative total box office of several times the movie.
Pressing several giants under him, thinking of this, Zhao Jianfeng gently put down the Chinese piece of his hand, his face became solemn, and his fingers tapped the table at will, it seems that this Yang Ming is really worthy of his name.
The performance of Oriental DreamWorks that shocked everyone in the film industry can be said to be all tied to Yang Ming, a young man.
Without Yang Ming, Oriental DreamWorks would be no different from other third-tier film companies.
Maybe it's not as good as a third-tier film company!
But Yang Ming's creative talent in movies is too demonic.
Not only did the two films he shot crush all the commercial blockbusters in the world without suspense, not to mention the blockbusters made by several domestic giants, but more importantly, Zhao Jianfeng cared about Yang Ming's creative ability in films.
This guy can not only make his own movies, but also write his own movie scripts, and each script is a big hit.
How could this not make Zhao Jianfeng feel important!
He didn't enter the film industry to be a stepping stone.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jianfeng's mind quickly thought about various coping plans.
After a while, he made an inside call to ask the secretary to come in, and arranged: "Half an hour later, all the senior executives of the company will have a meeting in the conference room!"
Time passed quickly, and half an hour later, the largest conference room of Victory Pictures.
"I read the company's performance report last year, are you satisfied?" Zhao Jianfeng sat in the main seat and patted the stack of thick documents in front of him and said lightly, he didn't get angry, and he didn't speak loudly, but the more plain he was, the more frightened the others in the conference room became.
The company has just changed blood, and the high-level personnel have changed greatly, even He Xinghan, a son of a famous family in Beijing, after Zhao Jianfeng came, without saying a word, immediately handed over the rights in his hands, and now he only hangs a title in name only.
Everyone is also in contact with Zhao Jianfeng for the first time, and they don't want to leave a bad impression on the new boss at the first meeting.
Zhao Jianfeng's eyes swept around, saw the reactions on everyone's faces, knocked lightly on the table, attracted everyone's attention, and then continued: "I tell you my inner thoughts, I am not satisfied, to be honest, when I got these performance reports, I doubted that the staff would have taken them wrongly, is this the performance report of the Huaxia film and television industry, which is known as a century-old enterprise Victory Pictures?
Hearing his words, except for a limited number of people in the conference room, everyone else lowered their heads in shame.
Everyone is an insider, and naturally they will not forget last year's report.
Zhao Jianfeng didn't want to give people a cruel impression, he was not satisfied with a knife in the heart of others, and he had to open the wound and sprinkle salt, but when he saw this performance report, coupled with the comparison of this report with other film companies by the people below, he was really unbearable.
This is not the three fires of the new official, but Victory Pictures has reached the point where it must take heavy medicine, otherwise the giant will not improve a little.
"27 billion, 16 billion!"
Suddenly, Zhao Jianfeng snorted coldly, and slowly said a set of numbers in a sarcastic tone.
When everyone here heard this set of numbers, they immediately thought of something, and the look of shame on their faces became even more obvious, and their heads hung even lower.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the conference room was becoming more and more depressed, Zhao Jianfeng felt that the heat was almost the same, his tone eased slightly, and said: "Oriental DreamWorks is just a film company that has only been established for five years, and now it can achieve such results in the film market, no matter what their profit was last year, the box office data of this year alone is almost twice that of Victory Pictures, I can't bear it, the company must make changes!"
In recent years, the Chinese film market has become more and more inflated, and the total box office data has skyrocketed at an exaggerated rate every year.
Everyone knows that the film and television market in China is about to usher in the most glorious moment.
The total box office data of every film company is rising, and Victory Pictures is no exception, five years ago, Victory Pictures may still be cheering for the annual total box office to exceed 10 billion, but now Yang Ming can do it with a single film.
Last year, Yang Ming's two movies "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" and "The Love of People and Ghosts" almost got a total box office data of 20 billion, plus the scripts written by Yang Ming for other people in the company, and some newcomers tried to make films, both losses and gains, adding up cumulatively, Oriental DreamWorks last year alone had a total box office data of 27 billion yuan.
In this circle, as soon as the news came out, it was simply sensational.
And Victory Pictures, as one of the giants, was almost thrown off by Oriental DreamWorks by twice the gap, which can no longer be regarded as a shame, but a shame.
If this continues, what face does Victory Pictures still have to claim to be the giant of the Chinese film industry?
After saying this, Zhao Jianfeng's tightly locked brows loosened slightly, then picked up a piece of paper in front of him, and after looking at it, his tone became serious, and he continued: "Next, the company will make relevant adjustments, and please cooperate." ”
Subsequently, he made several changes at the top of the company.
None of the top executives of Victory Pictures in the conference room had any objections.
"What are the films currently being filmed by the company that can be used to impact the awards?" After making some personnel changes, Zhao Jianfeng threw out another question.
After all, he has just taken over Victory Pictures, and although the production plans of all the company's films are listed one by one, he is not familiar with the film and television industry, and the team he brought over is not available to take over the company's affairs for a while, so he doesn't know what kind of expectations he should have for each film that is being filmed now.
At this time, a senior executive of the company replied: "Director Haitian is filming "Crazy Speed", which costs nearly 500 million Chinese yuan, and is the company's current top drama. ”
"Crazy Speed"?
Zhao Jianfeng is not unfamiliar with this name, and he has met this Haitian several times.
He Xinghan also told him everything about this racing film.
This film is aimed at that Yang Ming, and in addition, Xiao Bufan's guy in this film also smashed 300 million yuan into it, which can be regarded as a joint production between the two parties.
For this, Zhao Jianfeng doesn't mind, there are too many cases of joint capital holding and shared profit sharing in the business world.
It's just that one "Crazy Speed" he thinks is not enough.
"Are there any other films?" he continued.
In addition to Haitian's "Crazy Speed", there is also Li Xiaoqiang's costume kung fu film "Eighteen Heroes", which is also highly anticipated by the outside world. ”
Wang Kuanda's "SWAT Team" is also the company's key shooting plan. ”
Several high-level officials slowly said the names of several films, Zhao Jianfeng quickly took out the materials counted by the people below, and quickly scanned them, and soon after, a person sitting not far from him, after listening to the reports of several high-level officials, checked the information, and introduced it to Zhao Jianfeng in a low voice.
When Zhao Jianfeng heard these introductions, his brows furrowed even more.
Follow suit!
And it's still the style of Oriental DreamWorks.
Watching other people's costume kung fu movies also follow the shooting of kung fu movies, and watching other people's shootout movies become popular, they also follow the shooting of gunfight movies.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jianfeng couldn't help but pat his head, if he blindly followed the trend, after a long time, Shengli Pictures, a film company known as a giant, would always be at the end, reduced to an existence that eats ashes, don't want to surpass the other party.
But he also knows that following the trend is inevitable no matter what industry you are in.
Zhao Jianfeng pondered for a while, and quickly made a decision, saying: "You discuss it, recommend three films to come up, and the company will arrange for these three films to impact various film awards, and the list will be handed over to me later." ”
He sighed secretly in his heart, he is at the helm of this giant in the film and television industry, and his reform still has a long way to go!
But no matter what, since he has stepped into the film and television industry, he will make his voice heard, although he doesn't know if the next three films recommended will be sure of winning awards, but as long as the operation is successful, it can make a name.
As long as he reaches this point, he has achieved his goal.
Whether in China or abroad, there are not too many film festivals.
Maybe the three major film festivals of the Golden Dragon Award, the Cannes Award, and the Oscars have no hope, but other film festivals have room to operate, and when the time comes, through media publicity, it is enough to create momentum.
If you can't win the Golden Dragon Award, you can go to the Magic Capital International Film Festival, and even the Tokyo Film Festival in Japan can go.
The difficulty of the Cannes Awards is too high, but Venice can also consider that the Zhao family has many business partners around the world, and when the time comes, it is not a big deal to be a little accommodating and win a few film awards that are not high-level.
Zhao Jianfeng's eyes were filled with deep thought, and then he arranged a shooting plan.
He wants to make a large-scale costume historical film and television drama!
"There are many dynasties in Chinese history, I don't care about the subject matter, you arrange the director, and the shooting fund is 200 million yuan for the time being, if it is not enough, report it to me then!"
200 million Chinese dollars to make a TV series?
And it's also based on the theme of historical dynasties?
Everyone in the conference room was taken aback when they heard this plan, and a senior executive blurted out: "Our Victory Pictures currently has no business in TV dramas, and there is no cooperation channel with the TV station." ”
"If you don't have business, just find someone outside to shoot, don't worry about the TV station, I'll arrange it." Zhao Jianfeng didn't allow anyone to refute and said categorically.
Seeing Zhao Jianfeng's determined expression, everyone couldn't help but shrink their heads, and no one raised any objections.
Those who make movies look down on those who make TV series, and those who engage in literature look down on those who mix in the entertainment industry, such a phenomenon is well known in the entertainment industry.
As a film giant, Victory Pictures naturally did not take the TV business seriously.
If you want to shoot really, it's not impossible to shoot, as long as you have a suitable script, you can shoot it, as for the director, Victory Pictures grabbed a lot of it.
Zhao Jianfeng saw the serious looks on everyone's faces, and nodded with satisfaction in his heart.
He didn't come to the film industry simply to make money, but also with other purposes.
Now the high-level officials attach great importance to the output of Chinese culture, and the entertainment, film and television culture industry is the top priority, Zhao Jianfeng naturally will not ignore this, so if you want to slowly achieve his goal, you must first shoot film and television works that meet the taste of the government.
The reason why Yang Ming is so valued by the high-level of the government is not because the other party has made a few film works, which has caused a research boom in Chinese culture in the world, and the high-level officials naturally attach importance to Yang Ming's role.
Especially in the past two days, the tour of the Chinese martial arts group, which has been very sensational in the United States, Zhao Jianfeng learned from other channels that it was completely planned by Yang Ming.
He felt that if he didn't speed up his pace to catch up, Yang Ming's status in the eyes of the high-level officials would get higher and higher, which was not what the Zhao family wanted to see, nor was it what he wanted to see.
Because, he is also a young man.
Known as the most successful young man in the business world.
Since this honor no longer belongs to him, no matter how calm he is on the surface, he can't hide the gloomy depression in his heart.
After the meeting, Zhao Jianfeng had just returned to his office when he received a call from Xiao Bufan.
Timely Movie!
The Xiao family agreed to cooperate with the Zhao family to jointly take charge of the timely film.
But when he hung up the phone, he fell into deep thought.
If he was given a choice, he would never choose a timely movie, it would definitely be Maoyan Movie, an emerging network company that has occupied 70% of the market share of movie ticket network terminals.
In the Internet world, it is very difficult for an Internet company to catch up if it has established its hegemony.
The Zhao family has a lot of investment in the Internet, and he is no stranger to it.
It's just that the family has contacted that Yang Ming several times and tried a few times, but the other party has no intention of transferring the shares of Maoyan Film at all.
In this situation, he only has one option left for timely movies!
It's just that Zhao Jianfeng is too unwilling in his heart.
Since there is a shortcut to take, he naturally will not give up so easily.
In addition, the cinema line and Phoenix TV in Yang Ming's hands are also very important to the family.
The Zhao family is rich and powerful, and they simply control a TV station, but the movie theater line has nothing to do with it, but if you really want to buy it, you can also buy it!
However, the Donghai Cinema Line, which was acquired by Yang Ming, has been constantly renovating and updating its equipment in the past two years, and may not be the largest cinema chain in China in terms of the number of theaters, but the hardware facilities of the theater are definitely ranked first in China, and no theater dares to compare with it.
Yang Ming's money in this regard is too ruthless.
This is where Zhao Jianfeng is excited, as long as he can buy Maoyan Films and Donghai Cinemas from Yang Ming, he can not only complete the family's layout in the entertainment and cultural industry, but also crack down on competitors.
Because he vaguely saw an unusually bright future from Yang Ming.
There was a trace of jealousy and unwillingness hidden in Zhao Jianfeng's heart, which made him unwilling to see this situation appear.
He's going to try one last time.
Friend?
Enemy?
