I have to say that Su Chenyu is a good lobbyist, just look at Zhang Yimou, whose face looks like a chameleon on the other side, you can know how powerful it is.

In fact, Su Chenyu is not too sure about persuading Zhang Yimou to join Huayi Sisters Company, after all, the "national teacher" is also a person who has seen the world. However, Su Chenyu still decided to give it a try, who called the master rich - it was willful.

If the box office of "Tales of the Night" released earlier was just an appetizer, then the next thing is the main meal.

"Director Zhang, have you seen this "Legend of the Night", right?" asked Su Chenyu knowingly.

Zhang Yimou nodded, which was a tacit acquiescence. Although "Legend of the Night" was not introduced to the mainland, Zhang Yimou saw it when he was abroad.

I have to say that the "national teacher" was really suppressed at the time, and the cool special effects in the film alone almost blinded him - he didn't even believe that the film was shot by a Hong Kong company, because it was definitely Hollywood's first-class production standard.

"Tales of the Night has grossed over $400 million worldwide, which sounds staggering, but do you know how much he invested?"

Zhang Yimou shook his head, just now he was really frightened by the box office of more than 400 million US dollars in "Legend of the Night".

He didn't expect a Chinese-language film to achieve such a high box office in the world, you must know that even Hollywood's big-scale Zuò movies rarely reach such a high box office.

Su Chenyu said with a smile: "The investment in "Legend of the Night" is as high as 100 million yuan, and this is just the filming cost of the film. ”

If Zhang Yimou was just taken aback by the high box office of "Legend of the Night", then now he is scared by the investment in the film.

"One...... One hundred million...... Meta?"

"Yes, if you count the later publicity costs, this figure will increase significantly. ”

Zhang Yimou really didn't expect that there would be an investment of up to 100 million yuan in Chinese films, that is 100 million, 100 million, not 10 million, not 1 million.

Thinking about the investment in a movie - less than one-tenth of other people's money, you have to go around to invest in this money, and other people's movies have invested hundreds of millions, Zhang Yimou's heart seems to be 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by.

It's like when I'm still struggling to make money in order to buy a second-hand Xiali, and a grandson next to me has easily sat in a Rolls-Royce luxury car - not to mention, it's all tears.

So, in the next hour, Su Chenyu began to frantically tell Zhang Guoshi about the production and distribution process of the modern film industry. From script creation, to project establishment, investment, shooting, and even post-editing, distribution and even film promotion, Su Chenyu shook his head and fooled Zhang Yimou.

In fact, if you look at it from the perspective of future generations of professionals, Su Chenyu's sprinkling of this big article is actually really nothing, and there is not much useful stuff.

But there is no way, the gap between the times cannot be made up by professional knowledge, so these things that Su Chenyu said can be described as rotten streets in later generations, but in the eyes of Zhang Yimou in this era, it is tantamount to a voice from outside the sky.

As a result, the film values of the national teacher completely collapsed, and the most nonsense thing is that he was slowly reshaped by Su Chenyu.

Looking at the national teacher who looked at him with a look of admiration, Su Chenyu picked up the cup - he hid his merits and fame, and his brother was a "pseudo-giant" standing on the shoulders of giants.

These models are the "truths" that Hollywood has summed up with the box office success and street hits of movies again and again.

You don't see that the so-called "Hollywood blockbusters" in later generations are almost all over the world every year, treating all countries as their own "ticket warehouses" to win money, and the most shameless thing is that they also add American universal values to them.

"Mr. Su, will all of what you said come true in the future?" Zhang Yimou said with some uncertainty.

If Su Chenyu said that he was second, then no one dared to say first, so he said seriously: "Time will prove a qiē, and history will let you judge who is wise." ”

Looking at Su Chenyu's glittering force, the little heart of the national teacher instantly stirred, if the national teacher could "bow his head and worship", it seemed that he would be able to express someone's domineering "side" leakage.

"Follow me, and you will become a pioneer of Chinese-language cinema. ”

Su Chenyu pointed at Zhang Yimou and said very strictly, but how obscene he looked at it - he almost released the "hormones" with his eyebrows.

The national teacher didn't know if he was suppressed by Su Chenyu's domineering "side" leakage, or if his brain collapsed at that time, so after thinking about it for a while, he also said very seriously: "In principle, I agree to join your company, but ......"

"If you have any request, you can ask for it. Seeing that the iron teeth and copper teeth finally let go, Su Chenyu hurriedly "mended the knife".

Zhang Yimou thought for a while and said: "We don't know each other well enough at this stage, and this decision is likely to affect my career pursuit in the second half of my life, so I have to be cautious." ”

Su Chenyu could understand Zhang Yimou's concerns very well, so after thinking for a while, he said: "Do you think this is good? Let's cooperate first, so that the two sides can better understand both sides in this cooperation, and you can also let Director Zhang understand the strength of our company." ”

Zhang Yimou had almost no reason to object to this almost generous condition, so he agreed without much thought: "Mr. Su's method is too good, I agree." ”

"I heard insiders say that Director Zhang seems to be filming Mr. Su Tong's "A Group of Wives and Concubines"?"

Zhang Yimou was not surprised by Su Chenyu's words, you must know that this is also one of the main purposes of coming to see Su Chenyu this time - he wants to shoot "A Group of Wives and Concubines".

Su Chenyu looked at Zhang Yimou with an indifferent expression, so he secretly sighed that the national teacher was also a master of pretending to be 13, but he still said: "Now that the copyright of this novel is in my hands, our company intends to take the film to participate in next year's Venice Film Festival, but Director Zhang is not interested in directing this film?"

Looking at Zhang Yimou, who just wanted to speak, Su Chenyu hurriedly held back a sentence: "In terms of investment, you can rest assured, and if necessary, Hong Kong's Su Entertainment can also participate, you can choose your favorite actors and other members of the crew at will." ”

After listening to Su Chenyu's series of generous promises, Zhang Yimou was really moved, and suddenly had an urge to "die for his confidant".

There is no doubt that Su Chenyu is very satisfied with Zhang Yimou's current state - he was completely "fooled", but Su Chenyu felt that if he wanted to tie up the heart of the national teacher, it was not enough now.

So, Su Chenyu added: "Director Zhang, at present, our company has won the TV and movie adaptation rights of many domestic novels, and the following works will also be placed in the company's work pool." ”

"Your work?" Zhang Yimou asked suspiciously.

So, Su Chenyu began to introduce his "demonic road" in the literary world, which can be regarded as a complete KO of the national teacher, and the national teacher is completely convinced.

Looking at Zhang Yimou, who agreed to join Huayi Sisters now, Su Chenyu was simply happy in his heart, and his literary name was really good in the cultural circle.

Soon, Zhang Yimou and Huayi sister companies signed a long-term contract - the national teacher has joined the school, and this contract can definitely be tied to the "national teacher" for a lifetime.

Huayi Sisters Film and Television Company is no longer the three or two kittens it used to be, and it can definitely be regarded as full of talents at present. Since so many people have been brought in, the company obviously can't let them just take money and not do anything. As a result, the company's shooting plan was put on the agenda step by step, and this company's plenary meeting was to discuss this matter.

Although Su Chenyu does not hold any position in Huayi Sisters Film and Television Company, he still sits in the top spot. As the general manager of the company, Xia Xueyan sat on the opposite side of Su Chenyu generously, which was to form a situation of confrontation in the air, one mountain and two tigers - fortunately, one male and one female.

On the right side of Su Chenyu's hand are Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Yingda, Wang Shuo, Feng Xiaoning, Ma Collection, Huang Jianxin and other directors and screenwriters, and on the left are Ge You, Chen Daoming, Jiang Wen, Zhang Kaili, Liu Bei and other actors.

"It's all here, right?" Su Chenyu was quite serious on a serious occasion, so he said in a serious voice: "Then let's have a meeting." ”

Xia Xueyan was dressed in professional clothes and looked very capable and mature, so she took Su Chenyu's words and said: "You all know each other, right? In the words of our President Su, they are all mixed in a circle, and those who look down and don't look up are all old acquaintances." However, although everyone knows each other, I would like to make a few points. ”

"I don't know if you had any conflicts before, but after you come to the company, I want you to let go. Xia Xueyan said sternly: "The company will not treat any employee badly, not to mention that you can be regarded as the father of the company, so you don't need to worry about uneven distribution." Again, as long as you have talent, the company doesn't mind investing in any TV and movie shooting. ”

Although Xia Xueyan's words were a bit serious, the way of adding carrots to the stick was still very effective, and everyone present listened to it.

Su Chenyu saw that the atmosphere was a little solemn, so he said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, this is going to get off the horse?"

After listening to Su Chenyu's words, everyone smiled heartily, and then waited for Su Chenyu's next words: "Actually, the company has no requirements, the only requirement is to shoot film and television works that ordinary people like." ”

"Mr. Su is right, I believe that this is the common goal of all of us here. Zhang Yimou, as the "top card" in this, took the lead in expressing his position. Subsequently, everyone naturally expressed their attitudes, and the atmosphere became lively all of a sudden.

After that, Xia Xueyan began to introduce the company's next work: "Next, the company's first priority is to shoot a movie and a TV series. ”

Everyone looked at Xia Xueyan with concern, knowing that the next thing was about their own vital interests.

"The first thing that was determined is the adaptation and filming of "A Group of Wives and Concubines", directed by Zhang Yimou, and the TV series is "The Story of the Editorial Department", which is written by Feng Xiaogang, Wang Shuo, Ma Collection, and Yingda, and this TV series will cooperate with the TV Drama Art Center at that time. ”

"That's the main job of the company right now, so I like you to get involved. Of course, if anyone has a good script idea, they can come to me at any time, as long as the quality is excellent, the company does not mind opening multiple dramas at the same time, you must know that behind us is Suning Group, which has an incomparably huge amount of funds. Xia Xueyan lit up the company's muscles in a timely manner, and directly pointed out the **oss behind it-Suning Group.

After a discussion, Su Chenyu said: "Our company's brokerage department has also been established now, Miss Chen, Miss Li, as the main leaders of the department, it is time for you to serve the artists signed by the company." ”

"Don't worry, each artist has their own agent, and according to your requirements, the relevant team has been fully configured. Li Yalin reported seriously.

Chen Shiyun also said: "And the brokerage department is now in contact with some well-known artists in the circle, and we will try our best to win their film and television brokerage contracts." ”

Subsequently, all departments reported the current situation of the company, and the company as a whole is running towards the goal of "aircraft carrier in the entertainment industry" in the future. In this regard, as an irresponsible shopkeeper, Su Chenyu is very satisfied.
