Chapter 0297 Let's Make a Movie

After the Ding brothers went out, Meng Xinghui called the director team of the film and television production department and asked all the directors to have a meeting in the small conference room (Chapter 0297 of the indulgence of entertainment masters).

When he arrived at the small conference room, all the five directors of Star Entertainment were already in place, Yin Houde, Zhu Heping, Fang Xiao, Yang Nan and the little junior sister Pan Yunjia, when they saw Meng Xinghui coming in, they all looked happy, Yin Houde asked with a smile: "Mr. Meng, gather a few of our brothers and sisters today, what important things do you want to order?" Could it be that you want to fund us to play? “

Although Yin Houde and Meng Xinghui have a close relationship, on formal occasions, they still have to call him Mr. Meng.

"Sit down, everybody, we'll talk about it later." Seeing that several people all stood up from their chairs, a little nervous and full of excitement, Meng Xinghui suppressed his gesture and motioned for everyone to sit down.

"Although the Chinese New Year is coming soon, our work can't be lost, an entertainment company, the work is its lifeline, is the soul, and the work of our film and television production department depends on everyone here, Director Yin is right, I think after this period of training, each of you has the ability to independently direct a play, so I hope each of you can come up with a specific plan before the year," Meng Xinghui smiled: "Our Star Entertainment's investment method is like this, we don't have seniority, There are no rules and regulations, as long as the plan you come up with can be passed at the meeting of our film and television production department, I will invest in filming your film, ask for money for money, ask people for people, you just ask me to invite Tony Leung to you as the leading actor, I will try my best to satisfy you, provided that your script is good enough to attract him to join your crew. “

Meng Xinghui said this, the five people present almost exploded, they have been floating in the society for so many years, just looking forward to one day being able to complete their dream of directing independently, you must know that their fellow brothers have already stepped into the society, and there are also assistants to big directors in Hollywood, and there are also directors in the most powerful advertising companies in Asia, and they have been deigning to do high-level miscellaneous work on the set, in order to one day stand out and shoot their own works, they are talented and enthusiastic, There is a dream, but what is lacking is an opportunity, and now, this opportunity has finally smashed in front of them gorgeously, how can they hold it?

"Really? Mr. Meng? Are you ready to invest in letting us film? A flush appeared on the face of the little junior sister Pan Yunjiaqiao, and she was so excited that she didn't know what to say.

"Of course it's true, do you think I'm joking?" Meng Xinghui said with a smile: "If you have a good script and a good idea, I can start your filming plan immediately." “

"Over the years, I have buried myself in writing a lot of scripts," Zhu Heping said: "But if I take it out at once now, I don't know which one to come up with, the palms and backs of my hands are full of meat, so, Mr. Meng, can you give me a little time to sort it out?" I'm sure I'm sure I'll impress my colleagues in the film and television production department. “

"Yes, yes, Mr. Meng, I also have a lot of good goods on hand, this time I will definitely take out the treasure at the bottom of the box, and strive to pass the review at one time, and I will be able to play in the spring next year." Yang Nan said with a smile: "Mr. Meng, let me say something, you really give me a second life." ”

Fang Xiao said with a smile: "I said Yang Nan, you have been running in the crew for so long, you are good at this sycophant, why don't you say that Meng is always your parent." ”

Yang Nan pursed his lips and said, "I'm not a sycophant, Fang Xiao you kid touched his conscience and said, if Mr. Meng didn't give us such a good opportunity, how many more years would we have to be in the crew before we can get ahead?" There are so many directors who graduate from film school every year, how many can finally have the opportunity to film? Not to mention fame. So we have to know gratitude. ”

Fang Xiao clasped his hands into fists and said: "Uncle Yang, I'll just say that, don't give me a big hat, who said I don't know how to be grateful, I don't know how grateful I am to Mr. Meng, without his support, my brother is not sure which crew will be sending a boxed lunch to people now, how can it be like now, as long as there is a good script and a good plan, how much money is needed, what actors do you want, and there is such a strong backing as Star Entertainment, just under this condition, if I can't make a good show, Then I'll buy a piece of tofu and kill it myself (Entertainment Master's Indulgence Flower Bush Chapter 0297). ”

Pan Yunjia saw the two brothers bickering, covered their mouths and laughed, frankly speaking, being able to come to Star Entertainment was the most correct and greatest decision for them in their lives, and when their works swept the awards at major film festivals in the future, they all sighed how lucky they were to join Star Entertainment.

Meng Xinghui waved his hand and smiled: "Yes, don't wear a high hat for me, Star Entertainment needs your talent more, if you are really grateful to me, then do your best to make the best work, then it will be regarded as repaying me." ”

Yin Houde said: "There is no problem with the work, we are waiting for this day, but I have a question." ”

Meng Xinghui said: "What's the problem? ”

Yin Houde said: "I want to ask if the work you are talking about is a TV series work or a movie work?" Is there a limit to the quantity? Is there a limit to the subject matter? Is there a limit to the amount of investment?'

As soon as Yin Houde asked this, several other people immediately looked at Meng Xinghui with blank eyes, because these questions were also the ones they were most concerned about.

Meng Xinghui smiled and said: "After the Chinese New Year, I am going to make a TV series and a movie by myself, which is also my plan after the New Year, so the task of several of you is a movie, of course, if you have a good TV series plan, I will not object." The subject matter is not limited, of course, you also have to weigh the vision of the officials of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, if you make a gangster movie or a three-pole film, then don't think about it being released in the mainland, so the subject matter is not limited is also relative, I believe you understand what I mean. There is no upper limit to the amount of investment, if you can make a movie like "Jurassic Park", "Star Wars" and "Avatar", I will give you a billion dollars if you want, and there is no upper limit to the number, we Star Entertainment are not afraid that you have many works, but we are afraid that you have no works, of course, the premise is that this work must be a high-quality product, and we will never make bad movies. Finally, I would like to advise you that when conceiving a work, you can't be too utilitarian, you can't only stare at the box office, and the director who only has the box office in your eyes may often have no box office, you just need to follow your own principles of artistic creation and make the best work plan. We don't want to follow the trend, although following the trend is a common phenomenon in the film and television industry, but we Star Entertainment don't do this kind of thing, what we want to do is to lead the market trend and guide the audience's aesthetic trend, instead of picking up garbage behind other people's butts. I'm all right, right? ”

"No problem, no problem," Yin Houde shouted: "Don't worry, as long as you don't tie our hands and feet, I promise to satisfy you." ”

Meng Xinghui said with a smile: "If artistic creation cannot guarantee freedom, then it will never produce great works, in our Star Entertainment, there is no politics, no harmony, only art, if you can really shoot good works, even if it cannot be released in our Huaxia country, I will find a way to make you famous overseas, so please rest assured of this." ”

"Long live Mr. Yemeng" Several people suddenly danced, for an artist who yearns for the freedom of the soul, what is more comforting than meeting a boss like Meng Xinghui?

Seeing the fanatical creative enthusiasm on the faces of several young directors, Meng Xinghui also has a different kind of satisfaction in his heart, and it is not a very pleasant thing to be able to help others realize their dreams? After the New Year, Star Entertainment entered a critical second year, although it is said that in the first year they created a market myth, but if there is no continuous endurance, then it may become a flash in the pan in the highly competitive entertainment industry, while this craze has not dissipated, Star Entertainment must strike while the iron is hot, continue to launch a series of good works, let doubters close their mouths.

And after the New Year, Meng Xinghui is ready to focus on film and television works, although Star Entertainment does not have the so-called big-name directors in charge, but Meng Xinghui is not worried at all, frankly speaking, among the domestic directors who can really control the scene, there are just a few people, Lao Mouzi counts one, Feng Xiaogang counts one, Jiang Wen counts one, Chen Kaige, it is also counted as one, in addition to these few people, can you still count it? The so-called big-name directors are all accumulated with a good work, although Star Entertainment currently does not have a very famous director, but they can train their own directors, first-class scripts, first-class actors, first-class post-production, first-class marketing, a lot of investment, if these can not produce excellent works, then Star Entertainment really has no need to exist.

Meng Xinghui feels that Star Entertainment must cultivate its own gold medal directors, such as Zhu Heping, Fang Xiao, Yang Nan, Pan Yunjia, and Yin Houde, all have such potential, and of course, he is a potential director who receives future education.

He not only wants to be the king of the film industry, but also leads his colleagues to stand on top of the world with himself. So now he has to make a lot of effort to train these people, give them a chance, let them direct independently, it doesn't matter if they fail, Star Entertainment has endured several failures, and the most important thing is to give them the opportunity to exercise, just as a good sniper is fed with bullets, a good director is also fed with film, if they are not given a chance, they are not allowed to make mistakes, then they will never be able to spread their wings and fly high.

Three days later, Yin Houde and other five people took their own scripts and asked Meng Xinghui to hold a review meeting of the film and television production department to review whether their works could be passed.

Of course, Meng Xinghui agreed to their request, not only summoned the executives of various departments of the company to the conference room, but even the company's contracted actors, after all, no matter how good the work is, it still has to be performed by the actors, and sometimes the advice they give is the most feasible.

Because of the large number of participants, the Review Conference was held in the Large Conference Room.

Huang Yiyun, director of the record division of the music production department, Zhao Wenhao, director of the network branch of the music production department, Li Jie, director of the marketing department, Mei Ruohua, director of the artist management department, Zhuang Jin, director of the legal affairs department, Li Jing, director of the personnel file department, Zhang Mingqi, director of the film and television production department, and Zhang Jinsong, special assistant of the film and television production department, all attended the meeting, and more important actors such as Jin Yufei, Jin Ge, Lu Yaqing, Yang Xintong, Zhang Jiaming and other important actors of the company also attended.

Zhang Wei is responsible for putting each director's plan and script in front of everyone, and then returns to the position next to Meng Xinghui to sit down, so far she is still Meng Xinghui's secretary on the appropriate occasion, and she is very competent for this role, coupled with the work at hand, it does seem to be relatively busy, but as the so-called capable person works hard, Mr. Meng let her hold such an important position, isn't it because he trusts her? You must know that being able to be the most trusted person around the Son of Heaven is a position that everyone yearns for, although the official position is not high, but it is a real confidant, so Zhang Wei's status in Star Entertainment is no worse than those department directors, and sometimes it is even greater in terms of deterrence, after all, you can make arrows with chicken feathers.

Fortunately, now that the company is on track, there are relatively few affairs that need Meng Xinghui to intervene personally, so Zhang Wei does not have to serve Meng Xinghui all the time, otherwise she really can't take care of both.

After all the preparations were made, Meng Xinghui said: "Colleagues, although it will soon be our traditional Chinese Spring Festival holiday, everyone is a little absent-minded, but we can't leave behind the work that should be done, the focus of Star Entertainment's work next year will be transferred to film and television, we plan to shoot at least five TV series and five movies next year, I hope these plans can be set down before the year, and then after the annual leave, you can start working when you come back, we Star Entertainment is a company that focuses on cultivating talent reserves, As long as it is a talented person, we will give him the opportunity to perform, whether he is famous or not, whether he is very young, our film and television drama, I hope that the director trained by our company itself will shoot, this time we called everyone to a meeting, the purpose is to review the plans and scripts of several directors, we can comprehensively analyze from the aspects of artistry, commercial value, and future expectations of the market, and each person attending the meeting has one vote, regardless of the position, and finally vote on these plans and scripts, As long as more than half of the votes agree to pass, the director's work can be declared approved. “

The plans and scripts of several directors have been given to everyone attending the meeting in advance, and today they came to the scene, only need to express their opinions and vote, Zhang Wei wrote down the names of several directors on the white handwriting board, so as to count the votes.

The first thing to vote on is Yin Houde's work plan, he is going to shoot a historical drama, the background is the Three Kingdoms period, mainly about Lu Bu and Diao Chan, he tells the story of Lu Bu and Diao Chan from a new perspective, the main line is the love entanglement between two people rather than the conspiracy between men, it is a poignant love story placed in the background, the name is tentative

"Tears of a Thousand Years", the reason why it is named this is because the tears of the millennium appear as an important clue in the whole play, telling the story of the ancient ornament "Tears of a Thousand Years" appeared at the auction, but no one knew its true value, and then a professor who touched the appearance happened to know this ornament, so he told everyone a story that happened a thousand years ago, the story of the heart, the protagonist of the story, is Lu Bu and Diao Chan, and the ornament of the Tears of the Millennium is a token of love given by Lu Bu to Diao Chan.

As the saying goes, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is divided into three parts of reality and seven points of fiction, this story is naturally based on the fact of artistic recreation, the direction of the basic events is not bad with history, but the details of Lu Bu and Diao Chan's acquaintance and love have been artistically recreated, for this story, Meng Xinghui is quite satisfied, not only does not lose the weight of history, but also can make modern people look boring, and remove the background of the Three Kingdoms and Lu Bu Diao Chan's identity, the bitter love between them is enough to move anyone.

Yin Houde's plan is clearly written, in the actor positioning column, Jin Yufei is expected to play the role of Diao Chan, and Lu Bu's role is expected to be played by Meng Xinghui, and in the column of investment amount, Yin Houde fills in 80 million RMB.

The theme of the Three Kingdoms has always had a certain market, and the story of Lu Bu and Diao Chan also has a strong mass base, but such works are difficult to shoot, and the audience of historical themes has always been picky, if you fully respect historical facts, sometimes it will make people feel boring, if there are too many innovative parts, then some people will jump out and accuse you of distorting historical facts and misleading the audience, so directors who do not have a certain background really dare not touch historical themes, but Meng Xinghui read Yin Houde's script and found that Adege really didn't cover it, His historical foundation is extremely profound, and his ability to tell love stories in the context is very good, there is no trace of knife work and axe chisel after reading the whole story, what you can feel after reading it is the exciting and majestic love.

If he has time, he really wants to play this famous brave man Lu Bu, and together with Diao Chan played by Jin Yufei, he will interpret this heart-wrenching thousand-year-old love to the audience.

"How about it, everyone must have seen Director Yin's works before, if you have any opinions, you can speak freely, don't have any scruples." Meng Xinghui said with a smile: "The works handed in by each director are their painstaking works, so we must be cautious, not only for the sake of the overall benefit of the company, but also for the sake of the directors' efforts." ”

Zhang Mingqi immediately said: "Frankly speaking, Director Yin's story can move me quite a lot, and I have seen a lot of eye-catching things in it, although the identity is Lu Bu and Diao Chan, two well-known ancients, but it makes people feel refreshing, from the story itself, I have no opinion, but what I want to say is, is the budget of 80 million a bit much?" The investment of 80 million means that the box office must be at least over 100 million yuan before we can protect our capital, and at least 200 million yuan before we can make money. Although it is not news that the film market in Huaxia has a box office of more than 100 million, I really dare not say whether this drama will be able to achieve such results after it is filmed, after all, movies with historical themes are indeed relatively niche. I mean, can you lower the budget a little bit more. ”。.。
