Chapter 256: It Started That Summer

Zhang Yu looked at the group of young faces in front of him, this is the main actor of "That Summer", which can be described as handsome men and beautiful women.

Cao Lan stood beside Zhang Yu and looked at the group of men and women who were slowly getting acquainted with each other, "You, you are an outlier, you dare to let a group of newcomers who have just come out of campus and have little acting experience to shoot "That Summer", should I say that you are bold, or are you overconfident!"

Zhang Yu turned his head and smiled at Cao Lan, "Sister Lan, our movie is an idol drama, of course we have to find a young, handsome and beautiful one." Touching the stubble on his chin, Zhang Yu looked at the actors who looked a little familiar, "What I gave them was just a chance, and what they got in the end may be a big gain." ”

Most of these people are students who graduated from film school, and the rest are also found by xx who went to Hengdan, Zhang Yu gave them a chance to get ahead, but whether they can seize it depends on their own efforts.

"Sister Lan, after the filming of "That Summer", you can follow up at any time, and the better ones with better acting talent can be signed at any time, and the ones who work hard will also be signed. ”

Cao Lan stared at Zhang Yu, of course she understood Zhang Yu's thoughts, working hard does not mean that the performance is good, and those who have acting talent sign it, nothing "I understand your thoughts, but no matter how hard you work, you can't enter the door of acting, you also have to sign it?"

Diligence can make up for clumsiness, this is a truth that everyone knows, but in the entertainment industry, it is more about whether this person has comprehension, but Zhang Yu knows that there are so many people who have worked in the entertainment industry for many years and come up with hard work, "We are not bad for money, what if we cultivate an Oscar winner!"

Cao Lan blew sarcastically, "Oscar-winning actor, you really dare to think about it, Zhang Dashao, your cowhide is too big." ”

The Oscars are indeed a scar in the Chinese film industry, there are very few films that can be shortlisted, and even fewer can win awards, the reasons for this are very complex, cultural differences are the most fundamental reason, thousands of years of history, the East and the West have formed completely different cultural differences, the Oscars have always been held in Hollywood, which is the main battlefield for Americans.

According to the words of some Chinese filmmakers, the Oscars are a competition in which Americans set their own rules, and they belong to the Americans.

Counting Chinese films, only one "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that won the best foreign language film can really enter the Oscar rules, but the response in China has been mediocre.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't dare to boast of the Oscars, but Zhang Yu would, because of his identity, Inception, Hugo's secret, although Zhang Yu doesn't pay attention to the Oscars, but the movies that have won the Oscars can still remember a few "bragging, that's not necessarily, the Oscars are not opened by Lao Mei, I smashed a movie with a box office of two or three billion, and he dared not give it to me." ”

Cao Lan looked at Zhang Yu's short hair, and smiled slightly, "Twenty or three billion, according to your profligate method, you can only earn it in the Year of the Monkey." ”

According to the scale of the current film market, if you want to make two or three billion yuan, you need at least 20 movies, and according to one a year, it will take more than 20 years, but who would have thought that China's film box office will develop at an incredible speed from this year" Sister Lan, it is unscientific to calculate the current movie box office, last year's total box office was 300,000, this year's box office will definitely exceed 4 billion, last year's growth rate was 20 percent, but this year it will increase to 30 percent, almost every day there will be a new screen born, according to this rate, within two years, China's total box office will exceed 10 billion. ”

Cao Lan didn't answer Zhang Yu's words, but clapped her hands and attracted everyone's attention, "Okay, everyone, you're almost familiar with it, let me introduce it to you, this is Zhang Yu, our boss, a famous investor, a film and television producer, and the official screenwriter of the movie "That Summer". ”

Cao Lan pulled Zhang Yu in front of everyone, "Say a few words, Zhang Dacai." ”

Zhang Yu looked at a few people in front of him, "First of all, welcome everyone to participate in the filming of "That Summer", I hope we can cooperate happily in the next period, the positioning of the movie "That Summer" is an idol youth drama, I, the screenwriter, belong to the halfway monk, Lin Jun, the director, is also a half-ass, everyone is also a newcomer, but I believe that everyone has a dream of becoming a big star, I hope everyone can seize this opportunity." ”

The filming location chosen for "That Summer" was the No. 19 Middle School in Huanghai City, and a few days later, the group of people would fly to the Yellow Sea to shoot their high school days.

No. 19 Middle School, which is only a few streets away from Huanghai University of Technology, a middle school with a very high admission rate" Finally, congratulations to everyone for their victory, after this movie, you can gain something. ”

……

The development of Weibo is beyond Zhang Yu's imagination, and it has been proved that celebrity marketing is still an invincible weapon, especially when Weibo became the only official communication platform for "Run, Brother", Chen Yingwu, Deng Jiao and others opened Weibo, and the number of registered users of Weibo soon exceeded 500,000.

Walking around the campus every day, what I hear the most and see the most is that the students of NTU take selfies with their mobile phones and then upload them to Weibo.

In this case, recruitment began to be put on the agenda, and NTU became their first choice, and Zhang Yu's salary of seven or eight thousand and the reward of options also became the reason for NTU graduates to rush to it.

So there was a long queue in the hall of the Meilun Building, although the salary was good, but after the first phase of the thirty positions, for the Nanjing University, which is famous for science and engineering, it was impossible to meet the demand, dozens or even hundreds of people competing for a position.

Hao Ren looked at the long line of graduating men and women in suits in front of him, and the corners of his mouth cracked, "It seems that our company is very popular!"

"How can it not be popular, our Weibo has been ranked first on the Baidu hot search list, and has become a topic for fashionable men and women to show off. ”

Some people see the prospect of Weibo, some people because of the humanized decoration style, game room, bar, modern facilities in the office building, some people are for equity, and some people are for the impulse to start a business.

As a computer expert, Hao Ren is of course the main interviewer on the technical side, and Zhang Yu and Zhao Shuang are of course responsible for the marketing interview.
