Chapter 283 [Shangying Company]

The next day, Chen Tianlang started to get busy early in the morning.

First made a personnel transfer, those whose morale was low and felt that the company was not optimistic, Chen Tianlang didn't bother to keep them, and directly gave them money to leave.

In this way, there were originally 28 people in the company, but more than half of them left at once, and only about a dozen people remained.

There were too few people, so Chen Tianlang asked Han Hongyun to be responsible for advertising and recruitment, mainly recruiting "screenwriters", "editors", "agents", "costume artists", "makeup artists", and "media operation managers" and so on.

Many of these fancy positions were imported by Chen Tianlang from his previous life, and there was no such thing in this era, and even if there were, it was a proper noun from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, so even the newspaper editors who advertised were surprised.

Not to mention that Han Hongyun has worked hard to do large-scale personnel recruitment, and said that Chen Tianlang came to Shanghai as the producer on this day according to the business card issued by Cheng Jin.

As a state-owned film studio, this film company is also well-known in Greater China.

Shanghai Film Studio, as an old Chinese film enterprise, is one of the three major film bases in China. Founded on November 16, 1949. In 1950~1952, eight private film enterprises, including Shanghai Changjiang Film Studio, Kunlun Film Company, Wenhua Film Company, and Cathay Pacific Film Company, were jointly established as the state-owned Shanghai United Film Studio. In February 1953, Shanghai Film Studio merged with Shanghai United Film Studio, and the name of Shanghai Film Studio was still used.

Chen Tianlang's familiarity with this film studio comes purely from the cartoons "Hulu Baby" and "Sheriff Black Cat". These two classic cartoons were produced by this film studio. Of course, there are also "The Fisherman" and "Tales from the Sky".

After coming to the door of the film studio, Chen Tianlang took out his Nokia mobile phone, took out the business card from his wallet, and called it according to the phone number on it.

"Hey, hello, is it Mr. Wu?"

"I am, who are you?"

"My name is Chen Tianlang, and I was introduced to you by Cheng Jinfa. ”

"Ah...... It's Mr. Chen, Jiuyang, Jiuyang, Jiuyang, where are you now?"

"I'm right downstairs from your studio. ”

"Okay, then you come up quickly, the second, third and fourth floors are all our company, and I am on the fourth floor. ”

"Uh, I have your business card with some of your office addresses on it. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you. ”

After going up according to the address on the business card, Chen Tianlang came to Wu Chenggong's office.

The office is not big, but it is very red, and there are big slogans such as "serving the people" and "grasping reform and opening up".

Seeing him coming, the secretary hurriedly bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wu is still talking to others, Mr. Chen, can you wait a little?"

Chen Tianlang smiled, "Of course you can." ”

So he found a place to sit down and flipped through the magazines. After about four or five minutes, Wu Chenggong sent one person out. Chen Tianlang heard that this person spoke a non-standard Mandarin, so he raised his head and glanced at it inadvertently, and found that this person was not the Hong Kong star Liu Qingyun?

After sending Liu Qingyun away, Wu Chenggong turned around, stretched out his hands, and held Chen Tianlang's hand, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Chen, I actually asked you to wait here." ”

Wu Chenggong's enthusiasm made Chen Tianlang feel a little sudden, so he smiled a little reservedly, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

"Come, come, come, let's talk in the office. Wu Chenggong stretched out his hand to invite Chen Tianlang into the office, and said to the secretary, "Take out my top hair tip." ”

After sitting down in the office, Chen Tianlang said, "This time I came to ask Teacher Wu for advice. ”

"I can't talk about it, I can't talk about it. Wu Chenggong shook his hand vigorously and said, "Your journey has already told me, as long as you are interested in this business, just ask me, I know everything, and I will say everything." ”

"That's really grateful. Chen Tianlang nodded and said.

"Mr. Chen, don't say this again, it won't be interesting to say it again. I heard that you helped Mr. Cheng, and he was kind to me, when there was a lack of funds for filming, Mr. Cheng sponsored 30,000 yuan. A friend's friend is my friend, so don't say any more kind words, I'll be angry. ”

Chen Tianlang nodded with a smile, pondered for a while, and asked, "Then I want to ask Mr. Wu, at present, where can Shangying rank among the film companies in China?"

Wu Chenggong smiled, "It's okay, it's not modest to say, the top three in the country, our company can barely occupy a position." ”

"Then I want to ask, how much is the annual profit of Shangying Company?"

"Hehe, that's a bit acute. Wu Chenggong laughed.

Chen Tianlang hurriedly shook his hand, "I'm sorry, I was abrupt." ”

"But it's nothing, you were introduced by Mr. Cheng, and I myself admire you very much, so I'm not an outsider. I might as well be honest with you, because in recent years, there have been some changes in national policy, and a series of new policies for film have been introduced, requiring adaptation to reform and opening up and promoting the film industry. We have summed it up, that is, as long as there are three no's, no reactionary, no kitsch, and no low-grade fun, then anything can be done and everything can be broadcast. Therefore, in the past two years, China's film industry has developed very rapidly, especially the development of private films. According to our own internal accounting, our annual profit in 1993 was about 30 million, and our goal this year was 50 million--- at least no more losses than before. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Chenggong smiled again, and pretended to be mysterious: "But let's just say this here, don't go out and say it, otherwise those employees of the enterprise will shout for bonuses again, haha." ”

Chen Tianlang smiled together, "It seems that Shangying Company is operating very vigorously." ”

Wu Chenggong nodded a little proudly, "Many people say that things on our mainland are not as good as those in Hong Kong and Taiwan, because there are no talents in Hong Kong and Taiwan in our mainland. In fact, it's all, only a layman would say this kind of thing, if you really go to CCTV to take a look, it's all a master. The reason why we can't make fun things is because we are not doing entertainment at all, but making a model show. Do you know the difference between a movie and a model play? A movie is to entertain, make people laugh, make people happy, and it's over when you're done watching it, but what about a model play, you have to look depressed, and after being depressed, you have to go back and reflect on why people live so depressed. ”

When Chen Tianlang heard this, he couldn't help but laugh with Wu Chenggong. I remembered that when I used to go to school, I couldn't pay for the five-cent purse market at every turn, and it turned out that all the money was used to support the employees of the movie theater. Also, make so many didactic films for ghosts!
