Chapter 202: Big Move

After the awards, everyone congratulated Lu Ming on his victory at the Film Awards, another interview with reporters, and another celebration party. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info At the celebration party, Lu Ming said a word to Satomi, who was depressed in his heart: "Don't worry too much about not winning the award this time, one day in the near future, I will let you win the award softly." ”

Of course, Lu Ming also knows that if he wants to achieve something, tapping talents has become a necessary choice. If you just want to be a good actor, of course, you don't need to work so hard, but if you want to run a company well, you can't do without talents in all aspects. To his relief, Takeshi Kitano finally agreed to sign a contract with Warner, and with this gold medal director, Warner's strength has not only improved by one level. More importantly, through the performance of the scenery of the film awards. Now Warner's artists are slowly starting to gain confidence in their company and are not clamoring to leave.

In addition, Lu Ming also discussed with the president of Warner a plan to recruit talents, taking advantage of the current recession of Japanese films, to search for talents as much as possible, so that he can show his strength in the future. In the following period, advertisements for Warners continued to appear in Japanese newspapers and magazines, not only for actors, but also for directors, screenwriters, photographers, and makeup. Immediately, Warner's headquarters became a big talent market, and people came and went every day. For this reason, the president of Warner was still very puzzled, and asked Lu Ming for a long time before he figured out that Lu Ming planned to show his strength next year, and there were as many as 6 movies planned to be filmed, which made the president gasp. You must know that Japanese movies are no longer what they were 10 years ago, and now there are only more than 100 movies released every year, of course, Japanese AV is not like this, compared to Japanese movies, Japanese AV films occupy 60% of the global AV market, and the movies that Lu Ming plans to shoot are basically big productions, that is, Japanese film companies have always been small production inertia, and they will not be so big at all. However, since Lu Ming repeatedly said that money was not a problem, he was embarrassed to argue, and according to the plan, he recruited talents with great fanfare.

One night a few days later, Lu Ming booked a banquet hall at the Tokyo Hotel, and he was going to entertain all the employees of the company. In a rather spacious hall, Lu Ming raised a cup full of beer and stood up, and said to the employees who gathered around several tables with the spirit of dantian: "Today we can work in the same company, it is our fate, I have no other requirements." I only hope that everyone's abilities can be maximized in Warner, in Warner, you not only have a good salary, but also enough space to show yourself. My request is to hope that everyone can do their best, and at the same time, I will give the best to everyone!"

The opening line clearly won everyone's attention, and for talented filmmakers, money is important, but being able to play is the most important thing. No one wants their talent to be wiped out, just as no one wants to be taken for a fool!

There was a sudden burst of applause in the hall, and Takeshi Kitano, who was relatively old and well-known among the company employees seated, stood up and shouted with a heroic spirit that Lu Ming had never seen: "Boss, just by your words, we are already eager to start work as soon as possible!"

Lu Ming smiled slightly, he didn't expect Takeshi Kitano to give face like this, yes, if the most influential people in a company obey the management, it will naturally be a good guide for the employees below. Rubbing his nose slightly, Lu Ming laughed and said, "The work has to be opened, but before that, I want to say a few more words!"

"We're all making films, it's our profession. Therefore, we must have the most basic work ethics and make every movie well. Lu Ming said and gently tapped his fingers on the table to strengthen his tone: "In the face of the national market with narrow and sluggish exports, as well as the strong offensive of the film industry such as Hollywood and Southeast Asia in China Film and Television, if Japanese films still stick to the narrow domestic market, they will definitely be eliminated, so integrate all resources and revitalize Warner Films, so we Warner not only want to make movies, but also make movies that are popular and blockbusters, so that Warner Films can regain its former glory." ”

For the movies to be made this year, Lu Ming has already made a plan in his heart, and Kitano Takeshi will continue to guide the next Warner's flagship movie "Red Cliff", as well as Stephen Chow's movie "Shaolin Football", and a Hollywood movie "Sky Prison", each of these three movies can be called a blockbuster. These are all given to Lu Ming by the evil monster, not only the movie script video, but also the comments on Baidu Encyclopedia, all these materials were given to Lu Ming, which was a gesture for the evil monster, and the evil monster gradually understood that as long as Lu Ming promised his own things, there was a chance that something similar to a contract would appear in the WeChat message, and the other one After a long period of contact with the evil monster, he gradually found out that this Chen San was the previous Lu Ming, but he just had amnesia, so the evil monster supported Lu Ming to become famous, and when he had enough qualifications, he would coax Lu Ming to run for the prime minister of Japan, and once Lu Ming remembered it haha........................ It's a big game.

"Shaolin Football" has created more than 60 million box office results in Hong Kong in the history of China, although the world is different, Lu Ming believes that as long as the film is dispatched, the box office can be worried from time to time. Redcliff: Parti (2008) Mainland box office: $314 million (No. 1 in film history, No. 2 in film history, US$46,698,967) Hong Kong box office: HK$24,262,237 (No. 2 in the top 10 grossing Chinese-language films of the year, US$3,107,595) Global box office: US$126,517,708. As for "Air Prison", Lu Ming believes that the fierce fights, coupled with the portrayal of the characters' hearts, this movie can definitely become the best blockbuster in the world in recent years, you must know that when it was released in the United States, it was one of the big-grossing films that year, with a global box office of $224 million.

In addition, Lu Ming also based on the film operation model of the evil theory, as ordinary people know, in the past, the film company first recruited and signed directors, and then the company and the director found the script or shooting theme, and then the company allocated funds or found investors, and sent a producer to supervise the shooting of the entire film; and finally the producer and director formed a recruitment cast and crew to form a crew for shooting.

Other words. In the traditional film operation, only the producer and distribution production staff are the company's regular employees, and the director is the person contracted and hired by the company; except for these two aspects, all the actors and other crew members are all hired temporarily, and basically all the actors have an agent company.

How many years. Most of the movies and TV series that people see are filmed in this way. The majority of workers in the film and television industry are actually a group of freelancers. The crew members originally had nothing to do with each other, they gathered together for a work, and went their separate ways after filming.

Between the crew members and between departments, there are many strangers who have never met, they are not familiar with each other when they work together, there is no tacit understanding at all, and a lot of time is wasted; Everyone had to disband, wait for the next play, and repeat the run-in period and tacit cultivation period of wasting resources with another group of people.

This backward grass platform team temporarily pulls the model. In fact, it has led to the superposition and repeated waste of a large number of resources, and it has also made film and television practitioners completely insecure, unable to stably devote their thoughts and energy to creation.

However, the important drawbacks don't stop there.

This kind of system is the so-called three years of not working, starting work for three years, if you want to have a job, you must find a way yourself.

And this way is in the entertainment industry. It is necessary to rely on those inextricable interpersonal relationships and nepotism -- more than eighty percent of the shady scenes in the film and television industry, and more than ninety percent of the scandals, are caused by this mechanism.

……

After Lu Ming really mastered Warner, the first thing he had to do was to reform this backward operating model within the company.

His approach is to set up an art creation department within the company, and then divide the art creation department into seven groups according to the seven creations of modern film writing, directing, acting, shooting, recording, beauty, and production.

And then. With the group as a unit, it collects and recruits professional and outstanding film and television practitioners for the whole society and the whole industry, and uses the form of recruitment. Hire these people as the company's attendants.

In other words, it is to use the company's capital to raise all the talents in key departments that the entire crew needs. When there is filming, everyone starts work, and when there is no filming, they return to the company's office building, everyone chats and surfs the Internet together, and they still have money, waiting for the company's next drama together.

In this way, a group of freelancers who were originally all over the world stumbling around like flies looking for a way have become urban professional white-collar workers who clock in and out of office buildings every day. These film and television practitioners can spend the time they used to spend all over the world begging for people to find a way to find a crew, and free up to concentrate on the matter of artistic creation itself.

What's more, when working and filming, these people's partners all meet every day, and their colleagues in the company who have long been familiar with each other know each other's working habits and abilities very well, and they are very handy in doing things, and they cooperate tacitly, which greatly improves the quality of filming and the progress of work.
