Chapter 014 Creativity
On October 28, Gu Weiqi summoned Huang Xizhao, Xiao Sheng, Zhou Liang Shuyi, Xu Xiaoming and others to a huge conference room. In addition to the four of them, there are also Zhong Jinghui of Lishi, Hua Dan Yu Pu'an, Rong Huiwen, and Wei Haohua; In terms of Xiaosheng, there are Liang Xiaolong, Wan Ziliang, and Zhang Guorong; The old drama bones Cao Dahua, Dong Dart, and Zengjiang all followed.
Even producers Liang Tian, Lai Shuiqing, and Mei Xiaoqing came over. In addition, Zhou Liang Shuyi also poached last year's Hong Kong sister Zheng Wenya, wireless Huadan Shirley and Yang Yanpan. In addition, there are some photographers, screenwriters, makeup artists and other behind-the-scenes members, more than 70 people.
Gu Weiqi looked around at everyone, these are all talents, whether Phoenix Company can really take off in the future, in addition to his boss needs to grasp the overall situation of development, it depends on the performance of these people, so he attaches great importance to the first plenary meeting of the company.
"Brothers and sisters, there is a possibility that you don't know me, let me introduce myself, my surname is Gu, my name is Gu Weiqi. First of all, I would like to welcome you to join Phoenix TV. Some time ago, I told Mr. Huang that investing in TV was definitely not a decision I made on a whim and on impulse, but intended to engage in this business as a long-term investment. ”
Gu Weiqi said slowly: "As far as I know, the basic salary of both wireless and Lishi is thirty yuan a day, and I will give you 60 here." And in the future, whether it is a TV series produced or other programs, as long as you can reach a certain number of rating points, you will get a generous bonus. In other words, your actual income is directly related to your performance......"
roughly told everyone about the company's future development policy, and finally Gu Weiqi said that the meeting was dismissed. However, Cao Dahua, Zhong Jinghui, Huang Xizhao, Xiao Sheng, Zhou Liang Shuyi and Xu Xiaoming were left.
Cao Dahua asked curiously, "Mr. Gu, I don't know what you want me to tell you to stay?" ”
As far as Gu Weiqi knows, this Cao Dahua is a legendary film figure, born in 1915, and began to get into movies at the age of 15 when he was silent film. In the 80s, his acting career has reached nearly half a century. However, Cao Dahua still has not retired, and even in the 21st century, he is nearly 90 years old and starred in "Responsive".
And the most incredible thing is that the other party has participated in nearly 800 film and television dramas in his life. Even in the New Century, he won the Golden Bauhinia Lifetime Achievement Award and the Professionalism Award from the Heung Kong Film Awards. These two awards also bear witness to his life's brilliant acting career.
"Uncle Hua, just call me Archie. I left you mainly to ask you to be the teaching director of the 'Phoenix Artist Training Course', and to be in charge of the artist training business in the future. If you have an annual salary, I will give you 500,000 Hong Kong dollars temporarily, I don't know what you think? ”
"Okay, since you value Uncle Hua so much, Uncle Hua, even if I fight this old bone, I will do a good job in this training class."
"Then there is Uncle Hua." Gu Weiqi turned his head to look at Fang Lingwei and said, "Sister Weiwei, I bother you to take Uncle Hua to the Finance Department to buy tables, chairs and teaching equipment with 5 million yuan first." ”
"Okay, Uncle Hua come with me." Fang Lingwei led Cao Dahua out.
"Uncle Zhong, I have asked people to register a 'Legend of Heaven International Music Company', and the investment amount of this company is 50 million Hong Kong dollars. I plan to ask you to be the CEO, and the salary will also give you an annual salary of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars temporarily, I don't know if you are interested? ”
"The investment amount is 50 million Hong Kong dollars?"
Zhong Jinghui was taken aback, mainly because the annual salary of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars made him very excited, and no matter how he said that he was also the number one in the music company, he had much more power than in the TV station, so he immediately nodded and said: "Yes, I am very interested." ”
"The same 'Tian Lai Legend International Music Company' will also form a strategic alliance with Phoenix TV in the future to share resources."
Gu Weiqi casually took out the HSBC cash cheque book from his pocket, swiped and signed 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and sent it to Zhong Jinghui and said: "This money is your initial start-up capital, you go to buy equipment first, recruit manpower, and the office space will go to the 15th floor of the 'Liyuan Building', and build the company team as soon as possible." ”
"Okay." Zhong Jinghui didn't expect Gu Weiqi to be so straightforward, but he was also a resolute character, and after taking the check, he left in a hurry.
Afterwards, Gu Weiqi handed a few documents to Huang Xizhao and the others, and said, "Everyone, this is the program planning book I wrote during this time, how about you take a look?" ”
"Oh, the program planner?" After Huang Xizhao took it, he read it carefully, and couldn't help but be surprised, it was really this program planning book written by Gu Weiqi that was too good.
After Xiao Sheng and Zhou Liang Shuyi watched it, they were impressed by Gu Weiqi again. I can't help but sigh secretly, although this boss is not very old, but this program planning book is very well written. With these program plans, it can be said that everyone has more confidence to run a good TV station.
This program plan is like this, "Pearl Channel" focuses on well-made high-quality TV dramas, plus "News Investigation", "Celebrity Interview", "News Express", "Hot Face to Face", "Millionaire", "Everyone-Sports", "Entertainment Focus", "Children's Talent Contest", Singing Contest and so on.
The "International Channel" focuses on cartoons, beauty contests, as well as "Morning News", "TV Shopping", "International Express", "University Open Class", "Mythbuster", "Truth Investigation", "Animal World" and so on.
Among them, "Millionaire" and "All-People-Sports" are the trump card programs in variety shows. Especially the "millionaire", that is definitely the lure of Chi Guoguo's money. Although everyone knows that it is not easy to win millions of Hong Kong dollars, when it was broadcast in the previous life, there were still countless people who held the dream of getting rich overnight, and wanted to participate in this show one after another!
"How's it going?" Gu Weiqi asked with a smile: "Is it feasible to plan these programs I wrote?" ”
"Didn't say that." Huang Xizhao exclaimed: "The creativity of these programs is very good. But isn't this 'millionaire' prize too much? ”
"It doesn't matter, it's easier to attract the audience's attention with more bonuses. Besides, it's not so easy to really get 1 million. You just have to make this show, it doesn't matter if someone is so lucky that they get 1 million. ”
Gu Weiqi waved his hand and chuckled: "As long as the ratings increase and the advertising fee goes up, this little money is nothing at all." However, in order to prevent our own people from cheating. All employees of the company and their families are not allowed to participate, you must restrain this, and don't make any trouble. ”
"We can save it." Huang Xizhao nodded heavily, and said with a wry smile: "These programs are very creative, so I don't know if I should do that first?" ”
"Then I'll tell you about it. After the official operation of the company, the first thing to do is to put out the advertisements for the singing contest and the children's talent contest, and the details should be published in the 'China Entertainment Times', so as to increase the sales of the newspaper. You can negotiate with Xue Rong on this detail, and then attract the audience's interest first. ”
Gu Weiqi said slowly: "As for the specifics, you can accept the registration first, and when the quota is almost up, this event will be held." In addition, sort out the company's personnel and promote talented ones to serve as the backbone of various departments of the company. Now the company also has your shares, and I want you all to have a snack. ”
Huang Xizhao nodded, and Gu Weiqi continued: "Of course, if the company is not manpowered, you can recruit with a high salary." Didn't I have the money transferred to the company's account? There are also programs such as "Millionaire" and "TV Shopping", which must not leak the slightest rumor before they are broadcast, and remember to apply for international patents, so as not to plagiarize our ideas from wireless stations and foreign TV stations. This can earn a large amount of creative copyright fees in the future. ”
"Don't worry, boss, I'll save it." Huang Xizhao said solemnly.
"That's good."
Gu Weiqi turned his head to look at Xiao Sheng and said: "Elder Xiao, according to my plan, the five major dramas we are going to shoot are 'Huo Yuanjia', 'Cold Moon Lone Star Sword', 'Drunken Boxing King Wuji', 'Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains Always Love' and 'Rogue Tycoon'. What do you think? ”
Xiao Sheng agreed: "I have read the novel versions of these five plays in the newspaper, and I feel very good. ”
"Then I'll leave the production of these five plays to you."
"Don't worry, boss, I will definitely do my best!"
"I believe you Xiao Lao, when you go back, you will go to Xue Rong to negotiate with her about the adaptation of the script."
"Okay."
"And after 'Huo Yuanjia' is made, you can take the opportunity to launch 'Chen Zhen' and 'Huo Dongge', and I will give you the specific story outline when the time comes. The heroine of this play ......"
The original version was played by Zhao Qiannan played by Yu Xue, but now the other party is still in Lishi, and he did not jump ship with him, he can only choose among the existing actresses in the company, Gu Weiqi thought about it, and said: "Let Yang Qianpan star." ”
Speaking of Yang Xuanpan, she is also a famous actress in the Xiangjiang film and television industry. The most obvious feature of her image is that she is honest and bright. When he was 9 years old, he made a cameo appearance in the film "Fast Sword". Later, in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Mu Nianci, who had a bumpy fate, was infatuated with Yang Kang, had many contradictions in his heart, and died depressed, was touching. Many viewers regard her as the embodiment of Mu Nianci. She starred in a large number of TV series, which are very popular with the audience, and even left a good reputation overseas.
Xiao Sheng nodded and said, "It's okay, her acting skills are good, and there is no big problem in playing this role." ”
"I recommend Huang Yuansheng for the actor. By the way, where is Huang Yuansheng now? ”
Huang Xizhao and Xiao Sheng glanced at each other and replied, "He's on the wireless side." ”
"Oh, you guys first get in touch with him, probe his tone, and see if he is willing to star in this play? As for the male number two, use Liang Xiaolong. I'll write you a list of the other characters when they come back. ”
