It was the first time for the CCTV film crew to shoot the high-level work meeting of a large enterprise, and everyone, including Bai Yansong, was sitting upright, not daring to make a sound, afraid of the atmosphere of the meeting. Only the videographer is free to move around and shoot footage.

Lin Cheng also knew that this was a good opportunity to show his image as a domineering president, so he was very handsome today, and a handsome face could be described as 360 degrees without dead ends.

Facing the CCTV camera, even though all the executives of Feilong Media are elites from the circle with high salaries, everyone is well-informed, but they are still a little nervous, and the quiet pin drop in the conference room can be heard.

"Ahem......"

As the boss of Feilong Media, Lin Cheng naturally took the lead, spoke first, he coughed, focused everyone's attention on himself, and said: "Last week, I sent the company four movies and the scripts of four TV series, everyone should have read it, tell me your opinion." ”

Recently, Lin Cheng has made some classic movies and TV series in later generations.

Of course, with Lin Cheng's current status, he naturally does not need to write the screenplay by hand, but sends the story outline and character design of the film and television drama to the company's screenwriting department, and the company's screenwriter will improve the script.

In terms of movies, there are few good Chinese films in later generations, and Lin Cheng didn't want the latecomers to have no films to make, so he stretched out his poisonous hand to South Korea, which is a strip of water with my country, and copied South Korea's "Veteran", "Sunshine Sisters", "I Love You", and "If Love Has Providence" Four high-scoring Douban films were copied.

The movie "Veteran", an action blockbuster in South Korea's box office, has a population of tens of millions, but 13.4 million moviegoers, and the box office has reached 100 billion won, which is converted into nearly 600 million yuan.

If you put it in the era of box office explosion in later generations, it should be easy for the box office to break one billion, and there is hope for 1.5 billion, or even 2 billion, after all, bad movies like "Monster Hunt 2" have a box office of more than 2 billion.

However, the market always needs someone to open up, although a blockbuster like "Veteran" may have a box office of tens of millions at most in this era, but Feilong Media has only been established for less than two years, and such a good film is very much needed to consolidate its position.

Of course, with the urine of the State Administration of Optoelectronics, the background of this film will definitely not pass the trial in the mainland, so imitating the story of "Detective Chinatown", this film will arrange the background in Chinatown in Thailand, and the title will be changed to "Chinatown Veteran".

As for the other three films, they are all tearjerkers focusing on emotion, and Lin Cheng made these films out, not to impact the box office, but like "Veteran", they are all used to fill the film library of Feilong Media and consolidate the status of Feilong Media in the industry.

The only movies used by Feilong Media to rush the box office are "Hero" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", these two are all money-burning blockbusters, just have one a year, in order to maximize profits, of course, they can't be released in the same year.

In terms of TV series, Lin Cheng plagiarized "Da Changjin", "You from the Stars", "The Temptation to Go Home" and "Don't Talk to Strangers", as for the scripts he had already written, "Zhen Biography" and "Step by Step", Lin Cheng did not take it out in one go, after all, court dramas are big productions, and like movies, one a year is enough.

Ye Ning thought for a while and said: "Lin Dong, these movies and TV scripts are undoubtedly very good scripts, but so many film and television dramas can be filmed in a year, although our company has sufficient funds, but there is a big gap in talents!"

A senior executive also said: "Yes, Lin Dong, although we have signed many well-known actors with Feilong Media in recent years, there is a big gap in the behind-the-scenes staff such as directors, field affairs, set designers, lighting engineers, stylists, makeup artists, martial arts instructors, and editors, and it is very difficult to start filming so many film and television dramas in a year." ”

After listening to the opinions of the two, Lin Cheng asked, "How is the recruitment going?"

In the past year, the reason why Feilong Media has developed so fast is that digging the corners of the film studio is its forte.

Ye Ning, executive vice president, has always been in charge of this work, Ye Ning replied: "It is getting more and more difficult to poach people, we have poached too many people from the film studio in the past year, and now the film studio has strictly guarded us and extended the contract with the employees."

Compared with the film studio, although our Feilong Media has a lot of money and the salary is several times that of the film factory, most of the film factory employees still choose to eat public meals. ”

Lin Cheng was amused when he heard it, "You don't know how to make money if you have money, you must know that there are not too many people who have been laid off from eating public meals in the past few years!"

Ye Ning said: "Film studios are different from state-owned factories, state-owned factories can only go bankrupt if they are not well managed, but film factories have the support of the state and will never close down." ”

Lin Cheng thought about it carefully, it was really like this, before 2000, China's entire film box office market was less than one billion, and the environment was extremely harsh.

But Lin Cheng has only heard of movie theaters closing down, but as for film studios across the country, he has never heard of them going bankrupt, at most there are no films to shoot.

Ye Ning then suggested: "Lin Dong, in fact, the current environment of the Chinese film market is not good, we really don't need to shoot so many movies, it is better to concentrate on TV series, after all, in the field of TV dramas, we Feilong Media are the hegemon."

Lin Dong, I have read all the TV scripts you sent, each one is very exciting, as long as we shoot these four TV series, this year's TV drama market is still ours!"

"Yes, yes, these days, those who make movies lose money, but those who make TV series make a lot of money, we should have a choice!"

"That's right, the TV series is filmed quickly, the broadcast is fast, and the money is returned quickly, plus there are so many stars on the stage in China, it is the time when the TV series break out, and we, Feilong Media, as the leader, should consolidate this advantage. ”

……

Lin Cheng did not stop everyone's objections, but nodded in agreement, but when everyone finished expressing their opinions, he said: "At this stage, our Chinese people are still poor and backward, and they will naturally choose to watch TV at home instead of paying money to go to the cinema, so it is doomed that making movies can only be to lose money and make money."

With the deepening of reform and opening up, when the people's purses are bulging, there will definitely be a greater demand for film art that can enrich the spiritual civilization of the people.

Moreover, if even we Chinese filmmakers choose to give up the domestic market, then after Hollywood movies occupy our market, will we Chinese people only be able to watch foreign movies in the future? This is irresponsible to our national culture and absolutely unacceptable!"

The CCTV film crew was next to him, and of course Lin Cheng didn't mind shouting a few slogans that would not be beneficial.
