Chapter Eighty-Nine: Preparation for a New Movie [Asking for Recommendation]
That night, Li Yue entrusted Ouyang Shi to represent him and invite everyone in the company to have a big meal. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info And Li Yue is ready to deal with tomorrow's board of directors.
Although Li Yue himself has now completed his acquisition target, there are new problems, Li Yue has no time to work here for a long time, and Phoenix Satellite TV is also a company in the growth stage, and it is impossible to let it go. However, Li Yue has no professionals in related industries around him.
The next day, when Li Yue came to the headquarters of Phoenix Satellite TV, he was greeted by Liu Changle, who had a calm face at the door.
"I can't imagine that such a young man is so generous. Liu Changle stretched out his heavy hand and held Li Yue's outstretched hand.
"I didn't expect Mr. Liu to come to the door to greet him in person, it's really deserved!" Li Yue said a little embarrassed, after all, he had just robbed someone else's company yesterday.
Since Li Yue now holds 51% of the shares, all matters can be appointed directly, and there is no need for election at all. So when Li Yue stepped into this four-story building, he automatically replaced Liu Changle as the chairman of the board of directors of Phoenix Satellite TV.
Sitting in the conference room on the top floor, Li Yue looked at these unfamiliar faces.
"Welcome Mr. Li to become the chairman of the board of directors of the company. Liu Changle expressed their welcome on behalf of these colleagues. It is not so much that they are welcome, but in fact, it is better to say that Liu Changle wants to alleviate the embarrassment. Li Yue's strong entry into the master, I can't tell if it will bring a big purge, and everyone looks at Li Yue with unkind faces.
"To make a long story short, the company has appointed Mr. Liu Changle to continue as the company's chief executive officer! Phoenix Satellite TV Information Channel, striving to start broadcasting on January 1, 2001. Since Li Yue has no suitable candidate now, he has to stabilize the company's current situation first.
Li Yue is not worried that Liu Changle will mess around now, he brought Phoenix Satellite TV very well in his last life. Especially in the field of journalism, in terms of journalism, in the entire Chinese market, except for CCTV, they are them.
Li Yue now holds 51% of the shares, not only does he feel that his rights and interests have been infringed, as long as Li Yue proposes financing, he can completely dilute Liu Changle's shares.
After simply calming people's hearts, Li Yue asked everyone else to go out. left Liu Changle behind, and wanted to talk to him about his future plans.
"I know Mr. Liu, a professional who came from a professional news organization. I will not hinder you from building Phoenix TV into a first-class news media in the Chinese circle, but these are limited to the information station, and in the future, I will build Phoenix TV into a world entertainment media. In terms of variety shows, TV series, and movies, I will cut into it comprehensively. YOU CAN DOUBT ME, BUT DON'T DOUBT THE STRENGTH AND INFLUENCE OF YOUTUBE. I HOPE THAT PHOENIX TV AND YOUTUBE ARE A STRONG ALLIANCE OF 1+1 GREATER THAN 2. Li Yue looked at him and said seriously.
Liu Changle obviously doesn't believe Li Yue, professional journalism and the entertainment industry are too far apart, and they can be said to be completely different professional fields. But now that he is in control of the company, what can he do? Either resign or stay to defend his dream of building a first-class news outlet.
"Do you know Hollywood?" Li Yue knew he had to find a way to impress him. He has a very good background in the mainland, and Li Yue needs him to arrange and coordinate the full landing of Phoenix Satellite TV.
"When the world thinks of American culture, it mentions rock 'n' roll, Hollywood. In addition to invading the world with weapons, culture is their greatest weapon. They make the world yearn for the American dream, for the freedom of American democracy. In the future, I want to integrate the entertainment industry in the global Chinese circle and monopolize variety TV shows throughout Asia. Launched the No. 1 TV series in Asia. Create a group of artists who represent Chinese culture. In the future, we will make them a part of Chinese culture and export them to all over the world, so that people all over the world can always understand Chinese culture while chasing stars. Culture, economy, military, this is the three trump cards of a country. I just hope to use my own way to introduce China to the world!" Li Yue carefully instilled in him his plans for the future.
In later generations, when cultural products were promoted to the world, the intensity was not very strong. Its main official action is the Confucius Institute. And South Korea is doing quite well in this regard, people always mention Hallyu, and they do have a big fan base all over the world. Their government has a strong support for the export of their own cultural products. Just like RB, they support animation as a very powerful industry, but there are no corresponding supporting policies in China.
Li Yue didn't want to let the air flow of Ha Han and Ha Ri blow in the country anymore. What he wants to do is to blow the Chinese wind to the world.
Liu Changle didn't expect the young man in front of him to be so ambitious. Not to mention anything else, his cultural ambition is really worthy of admiration.
After thinking for a while, Liu Changle decided to stay officially.
Companies that have just been acquired are most afraid of unstable transitions. Now that Liu Changle is willing to continue to lead the company, Li Yue is still very happy.
For more than ten days, Li Yue was familiar with the work process of the TV station in the company, and met with colleagues from various departments of the company.
In the past ten days, Li Yue has not been idle. Now there is a TV station, and now it is necessary to reserve talents. Whether it is TV, movies, variety shows, or music, we must start to reserve talents.
Li Yue is not a star artist this time, but a technical talent. A company expects celebrities to become big and successful, and it can obviously only be the money of investors. is like a certain Bingbing's own shell company of 5 million, which was sold to a film and television production company, and it cost 200 million. And how did these 200 million come about? It was obtained by the film and television production company through stock financing in the secondary market, which is tantamount to passing on the risk to the shareholders who bought the stocks.
Li Yue is not so shameless, in a mature market, it is impossible for the value of stars to be so inflated. For a play with an investment of 120 million, the star took 80 million, the director, screenwriter, other actors, post-production, venue equipment, distribution, etc., they only got 40 million, how can this money make a good drama.
If Ming Liang takes the sky-high price to film seriously, it will be enough, 80% of the scenes in a drama are using stand-ins, text substitutes, martial arts substitutes, sideways substitutes, back substitutes, kiss substitutes, distant substitutes, and the most unacceptable thing is the inverted model substitution, which gives the substitute the face model of the starring actor. And a large amount of traffic Xiaoxian Meat does not memorize lines at all, does not experience the life of the character, and does not learn the skills that the character should have.
Such a star Li Yue will not cooperate with them in the future. In order to restrain these unscrupulous stars. Li Yue must now master the production, distribution, and broadcasting platform.
Think about Feng Xiaogang's quest for wealth on Weibo, and the second generation of films. This is that people have mastered the broadcast platform, no matter how good your star is, Lao Tzu will not give you a film, and you can only obediently put it up.
Hong Kong also had the reputation of Oriental Hollywood, although the quality of movies has become worse and worse in recent years, but the talent pool is still sufficient. Li Yue hopes to build the company's production team through one or two movies.
"Hello Director Liu?" Li Yue met Liu Weiqiang, the director of the 2002 hit movie "Infernal Affairs", through the introduction of Phoenix Satellite TV's insiders.
After the script of "Infernal Affairs" was completed, no investors were found. At the most critical moment, Media Asia Film Distribution Company found a producer who felt good after reading the script of "Infernal Affairs", so Media Asia Film Distribution Company agreed to cooperate with Liu Weiqiang. After Liu Weiqiang negotiated the price with the investor, as soon as he saw that the money invested in the film exceeded expectations, the investor began to hesitate, but the person in charge of the company believed that although investing in this film had to take a certain risk, it was necessary to save the sluggish Hong Kong film market, so Media Asia Film Distribution Company still decided to invest in this film, and the investment cost of the film exceeded 20 million.
This time, Li Yue came directly to the door and asked Director Liu if he had a new script.
"No!" Liu Weiqiang replied as he looked at the investors introduced by his friend.
Listening to his words, Li Yue was also depressed, is it so difficult that such a good script of "Infernal Affairs" can be spelled out in a short period of time? But thinking back to Liu Weiqiang's work arrangement in the past two years, Li Yue also understands.
In 2000, Lau Weiqiang had two films that entered the top 10 of the Hong Kong box office that year, one was "The Battle of the Forbidden Peak" starring Andy Lau, Ekin Cheng and Zhao Wei, and the other was "Love at First Sight" starring Li Ming and Maggie Cheung.
In 2001, Liu Weiqiang cooperated with Andy Lau, Anita Mui, Wu Junru and others in the love movie "Love Jun Like a Dream" with the theme of national standard dance, and the box office rushed into the top 10 list of the Hong Kong film box office that year.
With three movies in two years, he had time to carefully prepare the script, and it seems that "Infernal Affairs", which started filming in 2002, really started to prepare around the end of 2001.
"Our company intends to invest in a new script, and plans to invite Director Liu to shoot this movie!" Since the other party has not yet created "Infernal Affairs", Li Yue unceremoniously plagiarized.
"I still have two work schedules in hand, I don't know when your company's schedule will be?" Liu Weiqiang does not rule out making multiple movies a year, as long as the schedule can be staggered.
"It depends on the star's schedule, because it is the company's first film, and the company wants to shoot better. Don't be rough and rotten in order to catch up with the schedule! We also came to visit because of Director Liu's fame. Li Yue said politely.
"I don't know who you're going to hire to star in this movie. Lau Wai-keung can also understand that some new film companies always want to be a blockbuster.
"Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Huang Qiusheng, Zeng Zhiwei!" Li Yue said after recalling the lineup of "Infernal Affairs 1".
Liu Weiqiang smiled helplessly in his heart, every year in the mainland, many film companies in the mainland name and ask the Four Heavenly Kings to appear in movies, but I haven't heard of a few in the end.
Originally, Li Yue's politeness and politeness gave Liu Weiqiang a good impression, but it is a new company, and it doesn't want to take one step at a time, but it doesn't want to be a blockbuster! Do you really understand movies?
