Making a movie doesn't mean that you can make it right away.

First of all, the personnel problem Meng Chao has been preliminarily solved, and the remaining actor problems are not difficult to deal with, the male number one Zhu Xiucai of this "Happy Ghost" is still played by Huang Baiming himself, and Meng Chao is ready to play the male number two flowery man, as for the actresses, they need several young and lovely female characters, one of them wears glasses and looks average-looking female characters can just pick a female dragon in the film and television city.

The other two heroines Meng Chao have already booked Guan Zhilin to play the first heroine Lin Qingqing, as for the second heroine Lin Xiaohua, Meng Chao's idea is still played by the original actor Li Lizhen, fortunately, this beauty has already filmed commercials when she was fourteen years old, and she has a little fame, and it is not difficult to find it, Meng Chao has asked the people of the Film and Television Association to help him find this little girl.

As for other roles, the most important thing in Huaxia Film and Television City is actors.

After solving all the personnel problems, the next thing is to do the planning work, Meng Chao first looked for information from the library of Huaxia Film and Television City, and learned that there are at least 3,000 movie theaters in a total of 660 cities across the country, and the biggest boss is the Huaxia government!

It turned out that because of the recession in the film industry, many privately operated movie theaters have closed down, but as a scientific and technological power, the government naturally can't let the film industry decline like this, so it has acquired many private theaters and set them up as state-owned and spread all over the country, so if you want to do film distribution, you no longer need to look for cinema companies, as long as you get government personnel.

As for the few large-scale private cinema companies in China today, the largest of them is the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line of Mr. Shao Yifu, a film tycoon in Xiangjiang, which has three golden directors, namely Mr. Zhang Ce, who is good at shooting hard-core martial arts films, Mr. Hu Jinquan, who is proficient in Ming history, and Li Hanxiang, who is proficient in Qing history!

The styles of these three people are relatively strict, and the local box office in Xiangjiang has become more and more unsatisfactory, fortunately, many audiences in the mainland are very partial to this kind of Yan sù movies, and the director zhì Shaw Brothers Cinemas is still undamaged, with hundreds of cinemas in China.

As for the second place is also from Xiangjiang Golden Harvest Cinema Line, its boss Mr. Zou Wenhuai was originally a Shaw Brothers employee, after leaving the company, he founded Golden Harvest Films to confront his old club, from Xiangjiang to Yanjing, it is still difficult to give up!

After the death of Mr. Bruce Lee, Golden Harvest Film Company once declined, but fortunately, it finally excavated such as Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao, Xu Guanwen brothers and bald guy Mai Jia, which stabilized the company's position.

As for the remaining state-owned businesses, there are Anle Cinema Line, which mainly screens Western films, as well as the Great Wall Cinema Line, Shuangbei Cinema Line, etc., all of which are operated by the government.

After understanding the distribution problems after filming, Meng Chao ran around Yanjing after the scene of "Whampoa Fengyun" was completed, mainly looking for a suitable film company to acquire!

In the past few years, the film market has not been good, and there are many film companies on the verge of bankruptcy, and the bosses of those film companies are waiting for a stupid hat to buy them every day, and they are ecstatic when Meng Chao comes to the door!

This is also good news for Meng Chao, because the other party is in a hurry to sell, so the purchase price can be completely pushed down, and finally bought a film company at the price of 100,000 people, with only a few unknown signed actors, but there are still a lot of usable shooting equipment, these alone add up to more than 100,000, plus the company's name is very domineering, so Meng Chao decided to buy it on the spot.

The name of this film company is called Genesis Film Company, the name is very domineering, the boss of the film company originally planned to make a magnificent film to create his own film century, but he didn't expect to die before he got out of school, and even the 21st century has not yet survived, and it has fallen in 1985.

After taking down the Genesis Film Company, the Film and Television Association also quickly gave the news that she found Lin Xiaohua's actor Li Lizhen, she has become a big star in the eyes of her friends since she filmed the advertisement, and naturally the whole person has become a lot more vain, but because she is not old enough, there are not many roles suitable for her to play, so she was quickly forgotten by the entertainment industry.

So it's very harmonious to talk about, only 10,000 yuan of salary has signed Li Lizhen's film contract and a five-year brokerage contract, the contract states that after the filming of "Happy Ghost", Li Lizhen became a contracted actor of Genesis Film Company, and the company packaged and promoted her, but within five years, her income accounted for seventy percent of the company!

And must cooperate with any legal work of the company within five years, of course, Meng Chao did not trap her too much, and the contract also stated that after the rise in fame, Genesis Film Company will pay Li Lizhen at the market price, of course, the share of the brokerage contract must be deducted, but the share ratio will be slightly adjusted according to her fame!

Because Meng Chao knew that this was a promising new actor, he had to put Li Lizhen in his hands first!

Of course, for Li Lizhen and her parents, with the current downturn in the Huaxia film market and the fact that her daughter is not famous, a five-year contract is nothing at all!

……

"You bought the film company and transferred the license so quickly?"

is still in the café of the film and television city, and when he met Huang Baiming again, Huang Baiming was very surprised.

He didn't expect Meng Chao's hands and feet to be so fast, and he really planned to do a big job, and he actually bought a fairly complete film company.

After reading the company's license, Meng Chao continued to hand out new things, and Huang Baiming said excitedly after taking it: "This is the cast list and staff list of "Happy Ghost"? Let me be the protagonist of "Happy Ghost"? Guan Jiahui and Li Lizhen are the heroines, both of them are newcomers? ”

Today's Huang Baiming has long had no confidence in his appearance after seeing too many handsome guys and beauties in Huaxia Film and Television City, but he didn't expect Meng Chao to fall in love with him as the leading actor.

And Meng Chao is willing to be the second male lead, playing a flowery man, I have to say that this new boss has a lot of ideas.

"All the personnel are ready, and filming can start in three days, and the venue will be handed over to Brother Bai Ming to discuss."

Huang Baiming knew that Meng Chao was giving him a chance to see his performance, so he naturally wouldn't refuse, which also showed that Meng Chao was ready to let him participate in the company's operation, not just an actor and screenwriter, so Huang Baiming was naturally full of energy when he started doing things.

Three days later, "Happy Ghost" officially started filming and was ready to start filming!
