Chapter 41: DreamWorks

Creating a film and television company is easy to say, but difficult to say, it is nothing more than size.

Funding sources, creative teams, promotional resources, and post-distribution, coupled with an efficient management team, are the main fundamentals of a film and television company.

In terms of funds, Wang Meng doesn't have to worry, the box office share in the mainland is more than 8.5 million, after deducting the cost and the red envelope benefits of the main creators, there are still more than 7 million, plus more than 3.6 million from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The rest of the surrounding area is also nearly 1.1 million per month, and there will be 6 million and nearly 7 million in the following six months.

The only thing I don't know now is the box office in Southeast Asia, South Korea, and Japan. But if the estimate is good, how can there be more than 20 million starting capital.

These are enough, not to mention the filming of one TV series, even two TV series are no problem.

In terms of the creative team, there is no rush for the time being, and talents can be slowly gathered.

In the early stage, Wang Meng's works were the mainstay, and Wang Meng's works did not need creative personnel, and the script was done by itself.

Propaganda is a problem, but it's not unsolved.

Let's not talk about Wang Meng's current popularity, and then talk about today's Internet publicity, Wang Meng, who is called the 'God of Water' by the water army, still has a way.

As for the later release, it is not needed for the time being, and the release is a very troublesome thing.

At present, Wang Meng's approach is to cooperate with Yu Donghan Sanye and other bigwigs, even if some benefits will be shared by them, it is irrelevant.

Efficient teams can't be in a hurry, this thing is not something you want to have, you need to practice and accumulate slowly.

In the early stage, you can recruit a few key personnel, and in addition to digging good materials, the most important thing in the later stage is to train yourself.

After thinking about it throughout, Wang Meng didn't go to Ji Fei to discuss special effects in the past few days, but planned it.

However, no matter how a person thinks, he is not as powerful as the teamwork, so this Tianwang Meng found Wang Peng and Zhang Lantian over.

These two people are their own goals, and now they are discussing with Wang Meng in an all-round way, which still has an effect.

After listening to Wang Meng's layout, the two sighed a lot.

I have long known that Wang Meng is not a person who is willing to be ordinary, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

I thought that Wang Meng would start his own business after graduation, but I didn't expect it to start now.

But the two are still very happy, not to mention the loneliness, just to say that they have known Wang Meng for a few months, they still know Wang Meng very well, in addition to genius thinking, in terms of being a person and doing things, they are also very mature.

Therefore, I happily agreed to Wang Meng's invitation.

Wang Peng doesn't have much management ability, but in terms of crew organization, it is very unusual.

Wang Meng can rest assured, hand over the work of the crew to him, and go to do something else by himself.

This is the best candidate for the first assistant director, so that Wang Meng can only do things in terms of filming, and don't have to think about anything else.

Zhang Lantian is a management talent, and he has a wide range of friends, and he has many friends in society, so he can find more personnel for Wang Meng.

Almost the deputy manager of the company was set for Zhang Lantian.

One Zhang Lantian manages the company, and one Wang Peng plays for himself in the crew, so that Wang Meng has more time to do his own things and can better lay out the company's future.

"Director Wang, is the company located in the magic capital?" asked Zhang Lantian.

Wang Meng hasn't thought about it yet, it is said that most of China's famous film and television entertainment companies are in the capital.

Except for a few, such as the Tang people in the magic capital, there are really few famous in the magic capital.

"What do you think of being in the Demon Capital?" asked Wang Meng.

Zhang Lantian and Wang Peng thought for a while.

Zhang Lantian said: "I think so, I don't know if Director Wang found it, Hengdian is getting bigger and bigger, and it almost occupies half of China's film and television shooting." The magic capital is not far from Hengdian, which is still very convenient. ”

Wang Peng also said: "Not to mention the selection of scenes, even in terms of talents, it is easy to find, after all, the magic capital is an international metropolis, you see that many large film and television companies have set up branches in Hengdian, which we don't need." ”

"It's true that Director Wang, Hengdian has gathered, and there are many talents in the crew. And the magic city has gathered management talents, and high-tech talents, plus the magic city government, to support such an entertainment tertiary industry, we choose the magic capital is still feasible. Zhang Lantian gave a summary.

After a comprehensive consideration, the three of them felt that the magic capital was suitable, not only as the center of China's trend, but also as the center of China's economy.

The policies in all aspects are very suitable, and Wang Meng and the other three have a bit to do with the demons, so it was decided.

Zhang Lantian suddenly said: "Director Wang, we just started, we can rely on the opera to develop, there are talents in all aspects of the opera, and we are all from the opera." Not to mention the relationship between you and the old director, just the two of us, I know a lot of colleagues who want to come out and break through, these people still have real talents and learning, nothing more than a lack of an opportunity. ”

Zhang Lantian really didn't disappoint Wang Meng, so to speak, Wang Meng went to his heart.

Wang Meng also thought so, but there is no such system as Zhang Lantian said, Zhang Lantian is indeed a talent in this area.

And Zhang Lantian continued:

"Besides, we can also set up a fixed-point cooperation plan, and we must both tap and win over the talents who are in the play. In this way, not only does the play provide opportunities for students to practice, but it also benefits both of us......"

Zhang Lantian said again: "Finally, we have a relationship with the play, and few of us dare to do something to us." For us who are starting up film and television companies, this is a towering tree!"

Zhang Lantian said that Wang Meng found that it was really possible, relying on the relationship between the drama and the storage of the Hengdian Film and Television Base not far away, it was indeed possible to get the film and television company out in the short term.

Not to mention, the relationship between his parents in Shanghai and the relationship between his relatives and friends, this is undoubtedly lucky......

With these relationships, plus making a few good scripts by yourself and making a name for yourself, if you can't grow up, then you can't talk about it.

And Marvel's head office is also in the magic capital, which is a chess piece that Wang Meng has long laid out.

Now the bear infestation has been successful, but the biggest head, "Transformers", has not yet started its journey.

How good is the future of this "Transformers", Wang Meng is clear, almost an inexhaustible treasure trove, even if the company is in difficulty, as long as a movie can save a company.

This is not bragging, many Hollywood companies in the previous life did this.

Let's just say that Hollywood's 'New Line', 'Peak', 'Lionsgate' and many other film and television companies, a "Twilight", a "Lord of the Rings" and "Chainsaw" have made them.

Seeing that Wang Meng was thinking, the two didn't bother.

Wang Meng pondered for a while and calculated clearly......

"Okay, that's it, our company is located in the magic capital, you can contact some talents, don't worry, don't force it, let's take our time." But lay a solid foundation. Wang Mengdao.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

I am still very happy that Wang Meng listens to his opinions, but I am afraid that Wang Meng will not listen to any opinions and be blindly tall.

As for the end, Wang Meng said that the foundation was solid, and the two laughed, because Wang Meng was not ambitious, such a young partner was still very good, and he was afraid that young people would not listen to persuasion.

"Director Wang rest assured, recently we are secretly looking for some like-minded people, anyway, there is no hurry, we want to see the character and strength. Zhang Lantian said.

Wang Peng also said: "I will also pay attention." ”

However, Wang Meng said to Wang Peng: "Brother Peng, you don't have to worry about the company's manpower, just use more snacks with Brother Zhang, you first prepare the TV series we want to shoot, including camera, lighting engineer, makeup, etc., you have to inquire more about talents in this area." ”

As soon as Wang Peng heard it, he said that it was no problem.

"By the way, Director Wang, have you considered the name of the company?" asked Zhang Lantian.

Wang Meng really thought of this, because of the butterfly effect.

Steve Spielberg, Katsenberg, and Geffen are all there, including "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Shrek".

But the trio didn't form the once-brilliant Dream Factory.

Maybe it's because "Jurassic Park" in 93 is gone, but in short, the people are still those people, and DreamWorks is gone.

Wang Meng already had a dream name, and the dream factory in his previous life gave him a lot of movie memories, so Wang Meng cheekily decided to call his company 'Dream Factory'.

said: "DreamWorks, how's it going?"

Zhang Lantian and Wang Peng were stunned: "......."

"DreamWorks Film & Television Culture Media Co., Ltd. ......"
