428. Determine the investment
Seeing Xia Bing suddenly come in with a notebook, Ye Sumang thought something bad had happened?
As a result, when he saw the news on the screen, Ye Sumang couldn't help but be happy.
What is this?
"Mr. Ye, are you laughing angrily, do you want me to go to the Propaganda Department to fight back against them?" Xia Bing blinked and asked.
"Don't be ashamed." Ye Sumang glanced at Xia Bing, obviously this was definitely the little girl who deliberately found out to 'disgust' herself, but this news was really interesting, and Ye Sumang also felt strange after seeing it.
Because this news turned out to be the boss of a brokerage company bombarding his company's movie selection!
"As a filmmaker, I would like to make a solemn protest against a large film company in the circle! In a movie that is about to start filming recently, this company once again left the leading role to its own artists, and their films have always only chosen their own artists as the protagonists, which is simply a big obstacle to the progress of Chinese films! This is the hind leg of all colleagues in the Chinese film circle!
I want to protest, I hope that a certain film company will not go back to the old way of the 80s, but be open-minded, not just nepotism, there are still many excellent actors in the Chinese film and television industry to look forward to, such as ......"
Ye Sumang couldn't stand it happily when he saw it, who do you say these are?
Although this news is not named in the whole article, almost anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is for his new film "Painted Skin".
After all, I am afraid that I am the only one who has recently announced the interview quota, and what is said in this news is indeed myself.
That's right, Ye Sumang also admits that he is nepotistic and likes to use his own artists, but the premise of all this is that his own artists can handle it. can afford to bear the burden of the role, how can their performances be disappointing in every movie?
The owner of this unknown brokerage company is obviously the psychology of 'can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour', Ye Sumang even feels that the other party still has a little concept of 'robber theory', why is he using his own artists to pull the back leg of the development of Chinese films? If you want to say that, the brokerage companies under the film companies across the country can be dissolved.
"In the future, don't bring this kind of brainless thing to show me, and if you do it again next time. I'll definitely send you to the logistics department to look at the warehouse. Ye Sumang clicked directly on the webpage without reading it, and then 'threatened' Xia Bing.
This kind of thing was obviously deliberately taken by Xia Bing, and if it had passed through the Propaganda Department, it would have been directly solved by those staff, and it was impossible for him to know about it.
It's a pity that Ye Sumang's 'intimidation' was done in vain, Xia Bing is not afraid of him at all, how can he not know the temper of his boss after following Ye Sumang for so long, he will tell you like this to prove that there will be no problem. If Ye Sumang doesn't say anything, then he is really angry.
Thinking of this, Xia Bingba pulled his eyelids and made a grimace at Ye Sumang, with a cute face.
It's just that this statement hasn't budded Ye Sumang, but it has fascinated Wang Yuan and Wei Zheng opposite Ye Sumang, and the two post-80s guys are all crimson, peeking at Xia Bing's cute face from time to time.
"Alright, let's go. Don't delay us from talking. Ye Sumang waved Xia Bing away with a smile, and when he left, Xia Bing greeted Wang Yuan and Wei Zheng very dignified and politely.
"Ahem. Where did we just go? Ye Su Mang coughed.
"Ah, Director Ye, what do we think just now?" Wang Yuan replied with a little blush, he also knew that he was a little out of shape, so he hurriedly picked up the teacup in front of him and adjusted it by drinking tea.
"Just say what you have in mind. As long as it makes sense, I'll agree. "Ye Sumang is always very tolerant of what he admires.
With Ye Sumang's words as the foundation, Wang Yuan and Wei Zheng glanced at each other, and they felt a little more confident in their hearts.
"Ye Dao. What we mean is that I want to shoot this TV series ourselves, I am the director, and Wang Yuan is the chief screenwriter and producer..."Wei Zheng replied seriously.
This sentence seemed to have been expected by Ye Sumang for a long time, and after Wei Zheng finished speaking, Ye Sumang did not have any surprise on his face, after all, he was the same at the beginning, and being in charge of the guide tube is undoubtedly full of temptation for a person who aspires to the profession of director.
After thinking about it, Ye Sumang said: "It's not impossible to do this, but after reading your information just now, it's obvious that you don't have much experience as a director, so let's do it, you answer me a few questions, and then I finally decide whether to use you or not." ”
"Of course." Wei Zheng sat precariously, with a nervous and expectant face, as if he was facing his own entrance exam.
Ye Sumang couldn't help but smile and asked him not to be nervous, Wei Zheng breathed a sigh of relief at this time, but his shoulders were still shrugged, obviously indicating the uneasiness in the heart of the owner of this body.
"Let's start with a simple one, since you're going to make this TV series, what do you think about this script?" Ye Sumang asked with a smile, this question is almost equivalent to giving it away for nothing, after all, Wei Zheng is also one of the screenwriters, how could he not understand the script.
The reason why Ye Sumang asked like this was because he wanted Wei Zheng to relax.
Sure enough, hearing Ye Sumang's question, a confident look flashed in Wei Zheng's eyes, and he opened his mouth to answer, unusually smooth, five minutes later, if it wasn't for Ye Sumang waving his hand to stop it, I'm afraid Wei Zheng would be able to continue talking endlessly.
"I do have a lot of opinions about the script, but what about the actors?" Ye Sumang smiled slightly, and then he got into the real problem.
Hearing Ye Sumang's question, this time Wei Zheng did not answer as neatly as he did just now, but thought about it carefully, although he had thought about this matter more than once, but he still couldn't make sure which plan to choose.
There are only two considerations for choosing actors.
One is to choose well-known actors, their high popularity is often synonymous with ratings, but the price is high, and the cost of hiring an actor may even exceed the same acting skills but unknown actors several times or even dozens of times.
And another plan is naturally to choose actors who are not famous but have acting skills.
The advantage of this is that it costs less, after all, it is not famous, and it only needs to be based on the bottom price in the industry, but there are problems, because it is not famous, the attraction is naturally not high, and if the film cannot attract the audience at the beginning, the ratings in the later stage will also become a big hidden danger.
After weighing it repeatedly, Wei Zhengyi gritted his teeth and replied: "I want to use all the newcomers." ”
"Oh? weishenme? Ye Sumang asked curiously: "If it is our World Film and Television Group to shoot, it is absolutely no problem to invite one or two stars in the budget, do you still have to decide to invite all newcomers?" ”
"That's right." Wei Zheng nodded without hesitation this time, completely ignoring Wang Yuan on the side and secretly poking his arm again.
"Let's talk about why." Ye Sumang didn't say anything this time, but asked directly.
Taking a deep breath, Wei Zheng said what he thought.
"Director Ye, it would be hypocritical for me to say anything about saving money, and I also know that you won't send a celebrity that money. Indeed, inviting stars can play a good role in promoting the TV series, but I am first and foremost a rookie director, and this is my first TV series, what I have to ensure is that the crew can be completely carried out under my command, and if I invite a big-name star, it is undoubtedly a time bomb, to be embarrassed, I really don't know if the star makes a fuss, can I hold it down. ”
Listening to Wei Zheng's statement, Ye Sumang nodded in agreement, it seems that this kid is indeed quite smart, sometimes, the unity of the crew is indeed more important than anything else, and even more so for a rookie director, obviously this young man named Wei Zheng has a big heart and doesn't like to be a puppet, so he would even give up the opportunity to appoint a star.
Wei Zheng saw Ye Sumang nodding, and felt that the other party also agreed with his approach, and he was more confident in what he said.
"Director, besides, using all newcomers does not necessarily have a bad effect, we can even use this as a publicity point, and moreover, we can also do some articles in this newcomer, such as inviting a singer who is quite famous in the singing industry to star, so that he is still a newcomer in the entertainment industry, but he has a certain reputation himself......"
The more Wei Zheng spoke, the more excited he became, a new road seemed to be unfolding in front of his eyes, and Ye Sumang, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but smile a little, and added in his heart, this kid is not only very ambitious, but also very smart.
"It's quite haode, I see a lot of aiqing lines in the script, if you want to shoot, will you choose to focus on ......?"
In this way, the two of them asked and answered, and before they knew it, an hour had passed, and the tea had been changed to two pots, until the bell rang at twelve o'clock at noon, Ye Sumang looked at his watch and put down the script in his hand.
"I'm generally satisfied with your answer, so go back and give me a more specific shooting outline, and we'll talk about it in three days." Ye Sumang stood up and said with a smile.
Wei Zheng and Wang Yuan naturally nodded again and again, and there was a suppressed surprise in their eyes.
Because they understand that when Ye Sumang said this, he had undoubtedly decided to invest!
"hahahahahaha!!ha Out of the door of the World Film and Television Group, Wei Zheng and Wang Yuan glanced at each other, and then laughed out loud, they felt very unlucky before, but now they feel very good, and even the air full of car exhaust seems to have become extraordinarily fresh.
The sky was gray, but in the hearts of the two of them at the moment, it was blue, and when they thought of Ye Sumang's promise in three days, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but pout a smile of excitement. (To be continued......)
