Chapter 100: Preparing for the filming of a TV series
[Party A and Party B] about Luo Tian's role is actually over soon, Luo Tian's focus is on his own company, although it is a leather bag company, but how is it also a company, isn't it?
As for the people who said the company, there are only two staff members left, one is Yue Hong, a veteran agent named by Wang Jianshe and said that his ability is very good, and the remaining one is a secretary, who is responsible for answering the phone or something, and is also a niece of Yue Hong, it is estimated that if it is not for this relationship, then this secretary will not be able to stay.
This is the first time Luo Tian has come to his own company, Yue Hong, in fact, when he signed the contract, Luo Tian has met once, and he gives people the impression that he is very capable, and at first glance, Yue Hong's attitude towards doing things is that kind of style of doing things very neatly.
When Yue Hong saw Luo Tian arrive at the company, she immediately came over to report her work and said: "Boss, our company, now there are only me and Qingqing left, and the remaining actors have let their mothers disperse, and now it won't work out like this, I think it's better to recruit a few people, such as makeup assistants or something, and when you join the crew in the future, you must also have an assistant to follow you." ”
Luo Tian is not a big name, but he is rich and the boss, so Yue Hong thinks that it is normal to find an assistant or something.
Luo Tian smiled, waved his hand and said, "No, it's not the time yet, wait until the release of Huanzhu Gege, and then find an assistant, it may be more interesting to say something." As for now, we don't have that need. With Sister Hong as my agent, I am very relieved. By the way, what's the company doing lately? ”
Yue Hong immediately said: "In cooperation with Qiong Yao, we signed the contract, sent the funds over, and basically waited for the release, if we can make money, we can say anything else, but if we say that we lose money, then we don't need to do anything about this matter at all." ”
Luo Tian was very sure, and said in a tone that could not be put on hold: "Don't worry about this matter, everything we can do has been done, and the rest is to wait and see the result." As for our company, Sister Hong, you should be familiar with your peers, what kind of makeup, photography, art and the like, find a few majors, I only need technology, because our company will make its own movies sooner or later, and it's good to find a few people like this.
By the way, what's going on with the film studio? ”
At present, Huaxia does not allow private filming, so if you want to shoot a movie, you can only be attached to the name of a state-owned film factory, that is, selling the factory logo, which is almost the same as OEM.
Don't underestimate this OEM, with this card you are regular, that is, recognized, otherwise it is an underground movie.
And affiliated to the film factory, it is even more direct, with a certain annual management fee, and what to shoot is filed first, and you will be responsible for your own profits and losses. It's the prototype of a modern studio.
But even if this is the case, if you want to be attached to the film studio, you don't want to have no acquaintances. This is why Wang Jianshe established his own company and did not attach it to the name of the film studio. In the past, Donghai Film and Television actually took on a few scenes for its own actors, and organized commercial performances or something.
Anyway, it is like walking a tightrope, this is also a state of survival for most film and television companies now, only when the state allows individuals to invest in films, then a hundred flowers will bloom, and a large number of traps will enter the market, and at that time the film market can be called a capital market.
Yue Hong nodded and said: "With the face of Director Han, it is really easy to do things, this matter is actually done quickly, no matter what you say, we are now a regular company, not a leather bag company."
Boss, you said these staff, I am afraid that the young ones are not easy to find, and I know a few, most of them are older, old and young, even if they work, it is impossible to go to work in the field for a long time. These are people that other companies don't want to want, but I guarantee that they definitely don't have the technology, and they are all experts in this field. ”
As a person in the entertainment industry, making movies and TV or something, going south and north, this is a very normal thing, if it is said that in such a situation, you can't follow the crew around at all, then in such a thing, even if your skills are good, it is useless.
What the company needs is actually people who can work with the crew, and if they can't do this, it will naturally be difficult to find a job.
Luo Tian glanced at Yue Hong, Yue Hong seemed to know something, and hurriedly explained: "In fact, most of them are laid-off workers after the restructuring of state-owned enterprises, so there is no technology, but if the requirements are high, they can't leave the capital, and many companies won't sign them." ”
The laid-off workers of the state-owned enterprise film factory, this is also the first batch of free people in the Chinese entertainment industry, and the skills of these people can be trusted.
Luo Tian hesitated for a moment and said: "Okay, find a few people like this, and sign a contract with them to make it clear, they can't shirk the company's affairs in the capital, and they can't look for them when they leave the capital, but they are responsible for bringing us apprentices, training new people, and being prepared."
If we can agree to bring apprentices, we will recruit them, otherwise we will stop cooking. ”
Hearing Luo Tian's condition, Yue Hong finally breathed a long sigh of relief, nodded and said: "If that's the case, then there is no problem, these friends of mine also have a few apprentices of their own, these apprentices have no experience, and the crew dares to use them at all, so they can only play tricks, if they can be recruited together, then I think there is no problem when this happens." ”
Luo Tian didn't care if this apprentice didn't come, nodded and said: "Cheng, you look at it yourself, the key is loyalty, the conditions for breach of contract are written higher, I don't want the people trained by our company to change jobs easily." The company walked according to the rules of the industry. ”
At this time, Luo Tian actually didn't want to do anything special, how much money was given in the industry, Luo Tian also gave how much money, so as not to be told by his peers to break the rules. Solving this matter, Yue Hong then said: "The company has no source of income now, so it is easy to recruit these people, but if it is about how to make the company operate, this needs to have a job, boss, you see, what kind of work is better for us, if it is said that we don't take jobs, it is obviously unrealistic to feed these people." ”
For a company to operate, first of all, its own business must keep up, and it is not a film and television company, nor is it a charity, so it must have its own source of income.
Either you are filming by yourself, Donghai Film and Television is qualified, but the funds for filming are not small, so if you want to film by yourself, you are short of money.
There is also a scene that takes over other crews, and this is to see the boss's connections.
These are the sources of income, and they are the big heads, so this matter needs to be decided by Luo Tian.
Luo Tian nodded and said: "Don't worry about this, you go and recruit a few people first, our company will have a big move soon, I plan to shoot a TV series." ”
Hearing that the company finally has a goal, this makes Yue Hong very happy, if it is said that he sits in the company all day and drinks tea, then it is obvious that the future of the company at this time can be imagined, and it will definitely be the result of closing the door sooner or later.
But once you have a job, it will be solved.
As an agent, Yue Hong hesitated for a moment and said: "It takes a lot of money to shoot a TV series, our company now has 50,000 yuan left on the books, there is no money at all, filming an episode of a TV series is almost the same, if you shoot a TV series, I think it is dangerous." ”
A TV series with a total cost may not necessarily be as much as 50,000, but no matter how you say it, setting up a crew, shooting a TV series or something, these all require a lot of money, and obviously not 50,000 can be solved, such as leasing machines, films, etc., these are all money-burning.
And the recruited staff are also paid, these are all Yue Hong's busy alone, there is no problem to be busy, but there is no money, these are all problems.
Luo Tian didn't know that in such a situation, the establishment of the crew would require a large amount of money, so he immediately explained: "We are going to shoot a sitcom, which is similar to the form of a drama, such a TV series, with small investment and quick results, is the most suitable thing for our company to break through the situation.
50,000 is enough for our upfront expenses. ”
It's not about filming a TV series, it's about shooting a sitcom, this is really relatively simple, not that it's as troublesome as a TV series. Hearing this, Yue Hong finally breathed a long sigh of relief, sitcoms are indeed more economical.
But after writing down the matter, Yue Hong said worriedly: "There are few domestic sitcoms, and there is basically no money, if our company wants to shoot sitcoms, then at such a time, whether it can make money is still unknown." ”
In fact, what Yue Hong is worried about is losing money, no matter what it is, such a thing as losing money is something that Donghai Film and Television can't afford, because Donghai Film and Television has no money, why did they disband those actors, in fact, because the company has no money, and people are not willing to hang themselves on this tree.
A film and television company has 50,000 cash left, which is indeed a very dangerous signal.
Luo Tian nodded, pondered for a while and said: "You can rest assured about this, there will be bread, there will be milk, we have the goal of cooperation, Beijing TV, is a good choice." ”
Yue Hong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Beijing TV, boss, your old employer, you are over there, but you have offended a lot of people, I heard that many people over there have opinions on you, especially Director Shen, it is estimated that it is more difficult to cooperate in this matter." ”
It's not just more difficult, it's almost impossible, Director Shen's opinions on Luo Tian are not ordinary, so if you want to cooperate with Beijing TV, in Yue Hong's opinion, don't think about it.
Luo Tian's things, Yue Hong has long known that in fact, Luo Tian is also a well-known song in the entertainment industry, [Pin Sanguo] has conquered some people, and the songs he sings are also quite representative.
Therefore, Han Shanping is willing to promote him, and Feng Xiaogang is willing to pull him into the circle, mainly because he has proved his worth to the people in the circle. In other words, he is qualified to mix in this circle, although he is a newcomer, but at this time, the newcomer also has a soaring attitude.
Luo Tian said with some embarrassment: "I didn't expect this kind of thing, Sister Hong, you also know." ”
Yue Hong shook his head and said, "Boss, these things about you, maybe the people outside the circle don't know much, but no matter what you say, the people in the circle are not a few." Therefore, Beijing TV, this is somewhat unlikely. ”
Luo Tian shook his head with a smile and said: "Well, there is some truth in what you said, but you forgot one thing, Director Shen has retired, and the leaders of state-owned enterprises have retired, Director Shen has retired and left, and Lao Bai, who has a bad relationship with me, has also been transferred to logistics, once a son of heaven and a courtier, and now the top is Teacher Qin Lihua, she is the deputy director in charge, and there is not much contradiction between me and Director Yang Guang, if it is to cooperate, it is not impossible to find Teacher Qin." ”
Retirement is an issue that cannot be ignored by any employee of a state-owned enterprise.
Therefore, in such a situation, no matter what it is, the grievances between Luo Tian and Beijing TV have slowly faded with the retirement of Director Shen and others, and the resignation of resignation.
Yue Hong hesitated for a moment and said, "Can this thing really be done?" ”
In any case, there are still some grievances between Luo Tian and Beijing TV, in Yue Hong's opinion, even if those people are gone, but it is not easy to say cooperation. State-owned enterprises have always been tall and high-minded.
Luo Tian nodded very affirmatively and said: "Beijing TV also launched some programs such as [Pin Water Margin] some time ago, but the ratings of the show are not very good, so Mr. Qin called me some time ago and expressed the possibility of letting me go back to cooperate, that is to say, continue to [Pin Three Kingdoms]." If there is a good start for this swallow, then I think that next, the cooperation between our company and Beijing TV will become a logical thing. ”
After [Pin Sanguo] was directly deleted by Luo Tian, Beijing TV, especially Director Shen, meant, leaving Luo Butcher, will we still eat hairy pigs?
Find someone directly, just play again, but as a result, programs such as "Pin Water Margin" launched by Beijing TV are not very satisfying, and the ratings are called miserable, which is simply miserable.
