Chapter 175 Scene 175 Director of Small Production
Li Xiaole agreed, of course he wouldn't be naΓ―ve to think that he could shoot "Let the Bullets Fly" now, he was still afraid of scaring Han Sanpin, and didn't tell him that this movie would cost 1.5 billion investment, Ge You, Zou Yunfa, Jiang Wen The three top Chinese actors co-starred, I'm afraid that if he really says it, Han Sanpin will definitely suspect that he is mentally abnormal, after all, the movie that is now the box office champion of domestic films can't pass 50 million yuan a year......
Being able to join a production team with Jiang Wen first is a very good first step, everything will come slowly, and he will gradually prove his ability.
After Li Xiaole agreed, in order to show his appreciation, Han Sanpin personally took him to the office building of the second studio of Beijing Film Studio, and Wang Baoqiang followed him in a daze all the way.
As he spoke, he had already gone down the stairs, and the No. 2 office building of Beiying next door was already close at hand. Looking at the gate of the office building of the Beijing Film Studio, which was so lively, I saw the great director Huang Jianxing passing by to greet Han Sanpin, and there was a row of directors' photos hanging on the honor wall by the corridor, Chen Kaige, Zhang Yuan, Jiang Wen, Huang Jianxing, which made Li Xiaole feel a little excited.
As one of the core companies of China Film, Beijing Film Studio has produced countless classic Chinese films, and Beijing Film Studio is a holy place for Chinese filmmakers, and he has admired it for a long time. The office space of the second studio is also in the Beiying Building, and such an office environment is tantamount to heaven for him.
But just as he followed Han Sanpin to the second floor with great enthusiasm, he saw a door sign that said 'Second Production' hanging in front of a small office, and while talking, Han Sanpin pushed open the door and led them in
"It's Beiying No. 2 Studio, why is it so small~" Wang Baoqiang said with a Hebei accent as soon as he entered the door, without the slightest backlash, his current voice is definitely very high, very sharp, and very unpleasant.
And Li Xiaole also frowned, although he also thought that the scale of this second production company may not be large, but when he really arrived at the place, when he saw the second production office, Li Xiaole directly twitched his eyelids, rubbed his head and took a long breath, which calmed his mood.
The office of the second studio is only the size of two connected rooms, and I am afraid that it is not even a hundred square meters. What makes his face even more uncomfortable is that in the office of the 'Second Studio' of less than 100 square meters, the two corners are separated by frosted glass not to mention, the middle piece is clearly set aside for the employees to use as an office The space still seems a little empty, there is no dense desk space separated by plastic boards or wooden boards, only five tables are placed here, and there are several staff sitting in front of the desks.
"Mr. Han is good~"
"Mr. Han, why are you here~"
"Well, you're early, too!" Han Sanpin smiled and nodded with them, then turned around to look at Li Xiaole, whose face was not good, and his smile was also a little embarrassed: "The 'second production' has only been established at the beginning, and the conditions are a little simple. β
Li Xiaole quickly accepted the facts, nodded, followed behind Han Sanpin without saying a word, and walked into the office that was not large separated by frosted glass.
"Are you disappointed?" Han Sanpin looked at him and asked with a smile, Beiying's various shili are intricate, and even this office was made by him racking his brains.
"The mountains are not high, there are fairies and spirits, and it is very good here." Li Xiaole thinks it's nothing, the office is a place to discuss problems, not a studio, what is really strong in Beiying is his logistics resources and film and television base.
What's more, in this small office, Feng Xiaogang has stayed, Wang Xiaoshuai has stayed, and Lu Chuan has also stayed, and Han Sanpin can arrange himself here to prove his status in his mind.
"Mr. Han, I want to know, what position I hold here." As soon as Li Xiaole sat down with Han Sanpin, he asked the question he was most concerned about.
"I think so, you can temporarily serve as the production director, you can have the right to prepare your own projects and apply for investment in the factory, you can command the people here as you like, and the salary will be 1200 per month according to the minimum wage of the group." Han Sanpin meaningfully accentuated the sentence "Command with you", and Li Xiaole immediately understood his intentions.
Although this Mr. Han seems to be a very lenient person, he does have his own set of methods, don't look at the fact that now he has expressed enough appreciation for himself and let himself join China Film, but he has to assess his ability first, if his success in South Korea is just accidental, he will give up himself mercilessly.
"Mr. Han, how many people are there in your second producer? Why can't I see people, there are hundreds of people in the big crew. Wang Baoqiang couldn't help but interject next to him.
"There are more than 20 people together, and they've been busy outside with the pre-movie work these days." Han Sanpin looked at the copper wall clock on the wall: "Jiang Wen is estimated to be back soon, he is already starting to build a group, and he is recruiting screenwriters." β
Looking at Han Sanpin's eyes looking at the frosted glass side of the other office, there is no need to ask, the only two offices of the "Second Production", one of which belongs to Jiang Wen, Li Xiaole also saw the desk with a spoon and teacup, the name brand of Taimiao Film and Television Studio, this Jiang Wen's own studio.
But he didn't care about this, he was curious about what movie Jiang Wen was planning to make now? "Looking for a Gun" has just been released, according to the day, he should have finished filming "Green Tea" and "Heroes of Heaven and Earth", what movie is he planning to make?
"What kind of movie is the company going to make?" Li Xiaole asked.
"Actually, I don't know...... Jiang Wen has not yet decided on the type of script he plays. Han Sanpin showed an unnatural expression for the first time, as if he was smiling bitterly.
"Does Mr. Jiang want to be a director himself? How much to invest? Li Xiaole felt a little strange, could it be the stream-of-consciousness classic "The Sun Also Rises"?
This film is said to have invested 60 million yuan and claimed 80 million yuan, is it possible for the current China Film to come up with this money?
Jiang Wen's most successful film is currently directed in the 95 years of "Sunny Days", with an investment of 8 million yuan and a box office of 50 million, and then the later "The Devil is Coming" invested 20 million, but it was not allowed to be released at all.
"It's not decided yet, Director Jiang hasn't talked to me yet......" Han Sanpin covered the pain in his eyes, and replied with a smile, and there was a staff member next to him who didn't know much about human feelings and said loudly but stupidly:
"Mr. Han, you don't know yet, Mr. Jiang said that this time the investment is 40 million, and the factory will pay at least 20 million."
Li Xiaole almost jumped up on the spot when he heard this...... Now the annual production budget of China Film Group is only 100 million at most at this time, and it is now the end of the year, Jiang Wen will leave one-fifth at the beginning, and he still has a fart shooting fund!?
But after thinking about it, it's strange that Jiang Wen can apply for this money, in terms of his style of overspending every time, a smart person like Han Sanping wouldn't do such a stupid thing, in fact, Jiang Wen should have been invested in making a movie a year later, and it shouldn't have been the investment he got in China Film, but thinking so, Li Xiaole could only pray desperately in his heart: "Don't change history!" "Don't change history!"
"Xiao Wang, come over here." Han Sanpin smiled and beckoned to the employee who interjected: "You now take Team Leader Li to the studio below to take a few registration photos, and then make a pass." β
"Haode Mr. Han."
"Wait." Li Xiaole suddenly realized that he had forgotten something, looked back at Wang Baoqiang, who looked pitiful and didn't dare to speak, and asked Han Sanpin: "Mr. Han, can I hire an assistant and also get a pass for my assistant." β
"Yes, the personal assistant is managed by yourself." Han Sanpin frowned slightly, glanced at Wang Baoqiang, who was dark next to him, and thought, how about asking an assistant not to invite someone who looks at the light, this kid looks too dull.
"Let's go Baoqiang, let's take pictures~" Li Xiaole smiled and hugged Wang Baoqiang's shoulders.
"Big brother, am I going to take pictures too? I have photos~" Wang Baoqiang didn't understand what Li Xiaole meant, and thought that he was taking a few more photos for himself, so he took out the remaining art photos from his pocket.
"Big brother, please be my assistant." Looking at Wang Baoqiang's honest smiling face, Li Xiaole was in a very good mood and said with a smile.
"Assistant? That's not good~ I came to Beijing to film~ I still want to be Li Lianjie" Wang Baoqiang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and immediately stopped thinking about it, he didn't come to Beijing for money.
"Don't worry about being an assistant for two hundred a day, and you can also be a temporary actor in my play, an extra hundred a day, will you come?"
"It's really fake~~!" Wang Baoqiang opened his mouth wide and finished speaking, looked at Xiao Wang next to him looking at himself with a smile, and said unhappily: "What are you laughing at~ Be serious, Director Li is going to take pictures, hurry up...... Hurry up and lead the way~" A pair of personal bodyguards have come out.
That honest and upright appearance made everyone laugh.
**
Within a few days, Li Xiaole was already familiar with his situation in China Film, first of all, he figured out what the specific responsibilities of his "production director" were, to put it bluntly, he is actually the producer of China Film, responsible for opening projects and commissions.
There are generally three channels for China Film to open projects, the first is the full investment of China Film, this investment method is directly funded by China Film Group, and full production and distribution of independent production, this method is very simple, use the script and the actor combination to set a plan, impress the China Film Production Committee, including Han Sanpin, you can get funding.
Although the producer only gets 8% of the box office, China Film Group's profit is not only the box office, but also includes the group's cinemas and other ancillary revenues, and its main profit is more than three times greater than the box office, so as long as a film can maintain a box office breakeven, then the committee will increase support.
