Chapter 434: The Director's Persistence

Is this considered too big a step!" Bai Yi couldn't help but glance at Liao Mingfan. If he knew that this was only the first link in his entire plan, Liao Mingfan didn't know if he would have a convulsion.

Lao Liao thinks this is a problem. ”

It's not just a problem! It's an unclimbable peak. Otherwise, why do you think there are so many movies every year? It was rare to see that Bai Yi also had a headache, Liao Mingfan smiled a little gloatingly. Although the little boss is a little powerful, he is still an ordinary man after all.

"In this way, since there is no ready-made one, then we cultivate it ourselves. Cultivating a group of directors of our own. Liao Mingfan looked at Bai Yi with a sluggish expression. The director is not an extra, and he can be mass-produced. And can this kind of talent be formed through training?

"Boss, I'm afraid this is a little unrealistic. Not to mention how much it takes to cultivate a director who is recognized by the market, we can't afford to spend time alone. No matter how much a movie controls the cost, I'm afraid it will also require millions of investments. And it will take at least a few months. A good director is not something that can be cultivated with a single film. And there is no talent, let alone one, even ten may be difficult to learn. We are not in a situation where we have reached this level of luxury. ”

Liao Mingfan understood what Bai Yi said, but what Liao Mingfan didn't understand was that all he wanted was a tool that could turn these pictures in his mind into reality. This 'tool' can be without talent, but there must be enough experience.

"I decided. Bai Yi suddenly changed his words, and Liao Mingfan was a little curious, curious about what decision he made. But don't be a weird idea.

"You can find me a few experienced directors, and the assistant director will do the same. It doesn't matter if he has any works that he can get his hands on. I only need one condition, and that is that he must have enough experience in shooting. In Liao Mingfan's opinion, this request is not excessive. According to Bai Yi's meaning, it is to find a few people who can make movies. There is a big difference between people who can make movies and people who can make movies. Those who can make movies and those who can make good movies are another watershed.

Although he didn't understand Bai Yi's intentions, this request was not difficult for him. He has been in this business for so many years, and there is a way to find it.

"Yes. When do you want to meet people. ”

"The sooner the better. And if it's suitable, give them a five-year contract. They are paid according to the first-class directors in the market. By the way, it's better to be younger. "I thought that I would make a movie before the end of the year and catch up with the Chinese New Year, and the time was very tight. Young people have good physical strength, and it doesn't matter if they work overtime.

"The remuneration of a first-class director! is still a five-year contract. Liao Mingfan couldn't help but smack his tongue a little. Such a contract is no less than pie in the sky for those young directors. Among the young directors, in addition to those with very high talents, there are a few who can get paid as first-class directors!

"Isn't it too high?"

"You'll understand later. They sign a contract with the company and receive a fixed annual salary with no dividends. "It's worth it without dividends! First-class directors start with seven-figure annual salaries. This is still a sky-high price for young directors who don't have any outstanding works.

After Bai Yi left, Liao Mingfan began to call some old friends, "Lao Gao, I'm Liao Mingfan." How's it going, okay...... That's right, our company wants to recruit a few young directors, you are a professor at the Star Academy, do you have any suitable ones to recommend to me. Yes, it doesn't matter what the work is, the key is to have a lot of experience. Long-term training! But it can't be half-baked. The remuneration is quite generous......"

Gao Yan is a professor in the directing department of Xinghai Art Academy, and he and Liao Mingfan are old friends. After hanging up the phone, Gao Yan pondered for a moment. Liao Mingfan left Time Media, and he knew about it. And he also knows that Liao Mingfan is currently working as the CEO of an entertainment company called Dudu Pictures. Not many people may have heard of Dudu Pictures, but Dudu Video has been quite popular for most of the past six months.

The treatment of a first-class director, this is a lot of remuneration. Liao Mingfanti's requirements are not high, as long as he has rich experience, it doesn't matter if he has works or not. He went through it in his head. There are really a few of these students he brings with him who are more suitable. Now these students in the directing department, before graduating, interned in various entertainment companies, as long as they are willing to work hard, they can learn a skill, the only thing they lack is an opportunity. Although Dudu Pictures is a small company, the treatment given is not low. For these students who have just left school, it is simply a beautiful difference.

However, this opportunity, he does not intend to leave it to the current class he is bringing with him. It's not that there is no suitable candidate, but he thinks of someone. This person is also his student, but he has already graduated. At the beginning, he was very optimistic about this student, smart and studious, but his spirit was also very high, small companies couldn't look down on him, and large companies were too competitive, and they couldn't get in unless they had a relationship.

When he graduated, he knew that the student had not signed a contract with the company, but had gone to make a short film on his own. At first, he could still receive some news, but then there was no movement, and he completely lost news half a year ago. At that time, he guessed that this student's development might not be going well. He was very sorry. But just a month ago a girl found him, this girl was also his student, and she was also the girlfriend of the student he fancied.

When the girl came, she told a lot about the student he was optimistic about. From complacent, to discouraged, to collapsed. Gao Yan was both sorry and angry. Young people, they can't afford even a small setback, and they still have such a long way to go, how can they be up to the task.

When Liao Mingfanyi told him about this today, the first thing that came to his mind was this student. In terms of ability and talent, this student is definitely second to none among so many students he has brought with him. And after a year of social grinding, although he is now at the lowest point in his life, Gao Yan believes that as long as he is given a chance, he will definitely be able to stand up again.

"Lan Yan, I'm Teacher Gao, how is Xiao Zhuo now?Are you still sleeping in your room all day?"

"Teacher Gao, I persuaded him many times, but he didn't listen......"

"Blue Smoke, don't be in a hurry. Take your time, I'm sure Xiao Zhuo will be able to cheer up. I just have a chance right now......"

After hanging up the phone, Lan Yan hurriedly ran to the editor-in-chief's office to ask for leave, and quickly ran towards the rental room. Teacher Gao brought her good news just now, and she is now going home to tell her boyfriend the good news in person. He believes that this time his boyfriend will definitely be able to pick himself up again.

Zhuo Hang is a young director. A year ago, he graduated from the directing department of Xinghai Art Academy, and at that time, he was full of ambition, with the dream of one day going on the international stage and winning the Oscar for Best Director. I hope to win the favor of some big companies through these short films, and at the same time I want to increase some fame.

Over the past year, they have shot a lot of short films, which has been quite economical, but it has also cost a lot of money. Most importantly, the short films they consider to be masterpieces are worthless in the eyes of the big companies. Of the four people at the beginning, he is the only one who is still holding on.

The cruelty of reality made him extremely depressed. When he was still in his junior year, he was recommended by the teachers in the college to some well-known directors as assistants. With those big directors, he learned a lot of things. I thought that by learning these things, I could make a name for myself. I didn't expect the same thing, the treatment that a different person receives, so different.

Zhuo Hang couldn't do anything but look up to the sky and sigh. After the dream of the short film was shattered, he didn't go anywhere for the next few months, just hid in his room and slept. If it weren't for his girlfriend raising him, I'm afraid he would have starved to death in a rental house.
