On April 1st, Tengxun Pictures, Alibaba Pictures, Baidu, iQiyi Pictures, Lay's Pictures, and Shengda Pictures held an opening press conference on the same day.

The entire Chinese entertainment industry is paying attention to this event, if it weren't for the live press conference on the computer screen, others would think it was an April Fool's joke!

In Beijing, on the 19th floor of Building 2 of Runshi Center, No. 16 Tianze Road, the headquarters of the newly established Alibaba Pictures is located here.

At today's press conference, Ma Yun, chairman of Ali Group, was also present in person.

"Culture is the most important part of every country, and film and television dramas are an important part of culture, after the establishment of Alibaba Pictures, it will be determined to carry forward the excellent culture of the Chinese nation, so that our country's culture can go out of China, face the world, and let people all over the world see the brilliance of our Chinese civilization!"

At the Beijing headquarters of Tencent Pictures, Ma Huateng said to reporters, "This year is a year of rapid development of the domestic film industry, and many excellent works have emerged.

The chairman of Baidui Group also attended the opening conference of Baidu, "Xu Zheng and directors Li Mu let me see the future of Chinese films, an incomparably bright future, even super giants like "Avatar" are returning in our country, and our Baidui Pictures will also contribute to the domestic film industry!"

......

In the large conference room of Tianmu Company, the company's senior executives are paying attention to the opening conference of these newly established film and television companies.

Zhao Dong, vice president of the marketing department, Li Hang, vice president of the production department, Zhou Biyu, director of human resources, Gao Ruyi, director of the finance department, and Chu Fei, general manager of the temporary artist management department.

This person constitutes the current top management of the company.

Zhao Dong has fully proven his ability after the previous battle.

In fact, he played the role of a big housekeeper in the company before, and every crew had his participation, and all things were arranged in an orderly manner.

As for Zhou Biyu and Gao Ruyi, they were dug through headhunting companies, and they both had experience as executives in the world's top 500 companies before, and they have not had any bad deeds in the industry for more than ten years.

Further down are Xu Zheng, Lin Feng, and Qin Pengfei, the three directors, Li Mu has no plans to find a few more directors, it is enough to have these three people, one person has two films a year, plus Li Mu himself also makes seven or eight TV series and movies a year.

And the actors are still those people, five men and four women.

"Okay, while the attention of outsiders is on this now, let's get down to business first, the audition for "Zhao Zilong" is going to start preparations, and this film will use a lot of group performances, because this is a historical war drama, I plan to recruit veterans across the country, what do you think?" Li Mu said as he looked around.

"Mr. Li is right, the most difficult thing in filming war scenes is the cooperation of group performances, so it is necessary to recruit some well-trained soldiers!" Zhao Dong nodded in agreement.

"I also agree, after all, ordinary group performers don't want to be disciplined like soldiers, and it will be better to manage when there are more people!"

"I agree!"

"I also agree with Mr. Li's plan!"

And the newcomers Gao Ruyi and Zhou Biyu certainly can't veto the boss's proposal!

And Lin Feng also expressed his opinion, "What Mr. Li said makes sense, I have also filmed war scenes before, formation is a key issue, sometimes because of a group performance mistake, a shot has to be shot several times, if all veterans are used, not only can the shooting go more smoothly, but also the preparation time in the early stage is greatly saved!"

"Since everyone agrees, how many people should be hired, and how much is the right salary for each person?" Chu Fei said.

Lin Feng suggested, "Now the capital is similar to Hengdian, and the actors and groups without lines will not exceed two thousand yuan a month, most of them are around one thousand and five, since we want to recruit veterans, we should be paid a higher salary, after all, there are more than this number of security guards in the capital now, I suggest two thousand five a month!"

Li Mu shook his head, "Two thousand five words are too low, and we will only shoot the war scene for two months, it is estimated that there will not be too many people in such a short time, so let's calculate it according to the average monthly salary in the capital last year, four thousand yuan a month, and recruit 10,000 people!"

What the?

Hearing Li Mu's words, everyone was taken aback, whether it was 4,000 yuan a month to recruit a group performance or 10,000 people, it was beyond their expectations!

You must know that most of the fresh graduates can't earn this figure now, just like the newly recruited employees after the expansion of their company, except for the professionals of the crew, the others are generally two or three thousand a month.

As for 10,000 people, it's even more nonsense, what kind of filming is this, it was enough to fight a big war in ancient times, according to the record of the Battle of Guandu in the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", "When the public soldiers were less than 10,000, the wounded were two or three", which means that Cao Cao's soldiers were less than 10,000 at that time, and the injured accounted for two or three percent.

In a decisive battle in history, one of the parties only invested tens of thousands of people, so you can imagine how shocked they were by Li Mu's proposal to recruit 10,000 people.

And Li Mu looked at everyone's frightened eyes and explained, "This 10,000 people is actually not much, there are 6,000 people in the Baima Yicong and Xiandeng camps alone, plus other troops, 10,000 people are just enough!"

But everyone still couldn't understand, Lu Yi persuaded, "When I was filming "New Three Kingdoms" before, I was assisted by troops, but at that time, only one regiment of troops was dispatched, and these 10,000 people are too many!"

Deng Chao also said, "Although I have never filmed a war scene, it should be more difficult to shoot with 10,000 people, and the gains will outweigh the losses at that time!"

And others also spoke up to persuade Li Mu.

In the end, after intense discussion, the number of people was set at 5,000, which is Li Mu's bottom line, if it is lower than this number, I am afraid that some shots will be synthesized in post.

"Then it's decided, recruit 5,000 veterans with a monthly salary of 4,000!"

"Then the second thing, in addition to "Zhao Zilong", there is also a movie "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" that will be handed over to Director Lin!" Li Mu said, took out a script and handed it over.

For this movie, except for Deng Chao and Chen Qiaoen, everyone else was at a loss, and they didn't know that Li Mu had prepared a movie.

Ignoring everyone's surprised gazes, Li Mu continued, "This movie will be starring Brother Chao and Qiaoen, and the other specific actors will be selected by Director Lin himself, I won't interfere in this regard, just give me a list in the end!"
