Chapter 147: Night-Club
Talking about the vulgarity in artistic creation, the car soon arrived at Huayi Brothers Media Group, and I didn't see President Wang Zhongjun, because I went to other places to run the distribution of "Assembly". The person who received Bai Yuhan was Wang Zhonglei, Wang Zhongjun's younger brother and the deputy general manager of Huayi Brothers.
In many people's impressions, Huayi Brothers is Wang Zhongjun, who is good at dancing with long sleeves and has stayed abroad, and is obviously a predator in the entertainment industry. In fact, from the very beginning, Huayi Brothers was the entrepreneurship of two brothers, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei. When Wang Zhongjun was in the United States, he knew about a major Hollywood film studio, Warner Bros.
So after returning to China, he started a business with Wang Zhonglei, and it happened that they were also brothers, so they were called Huayi Brothers.
After the hard work of the two brothers, Huayi Brothers not only survived the earthquake in 05 when Wang Jinghua took the artist to leave, but also actively introduced peripheral capital, Ma Yun, Li Zekai and others have become shareholders of Huayi Brothers. Huayi Brothers has vaguely become the leader of domestic private entertainment companies.
When I met Wang Zhonglei, Wang Zhonglei was talking to Zhao Dafei about cooperation with Wanhe Tianyi.
One of the businesses of Wanhe Tianyi is to produce promotional videos, and the producer of the film will send some of the filmed tidbits, and then the screenwriting team of Wanhe Tianyi will make funny, fun and good-looking promotional videos according to these tidbits and put them on the Internet.
In short, as long as there is demand in the market, Wanhe Tianyi can try its best to develop new entertainment methods for new entertainment & 1& book & read & novel {.{ yb}{du}.} to inject more ways to make money.
"Bai Dao, look up for a long time." Wang Zhonglei is not tall, but he is very enthusiastic. Long sleeves are good at dancing.
"Mr. Wang is too polite, just call me a swordsman."
"That's good, Director Feng, Swordsman, Da Fei. Let's go to the office and continue the conversation. ”
In fact, there is nothing to talk about, that is, to roughly reach an agreement on cooperation first, and then hand it over to a specialized person to study the details. The most important thing for film and television companies is to invest in films, and they must hold meetings to study and consider the framework. Therefore, these few of them are just setting the framework. Then they ate and drank.
In the evening, after having dinner with Feng Xiaogang and Wang Zhonglei, Feng Xiaogang left early. He has a lot to do. With a little alcohol, Bai Yuhan was ready to call the company's secretary and ask the secretary to take a taxi to help him drive. I just finished the call. I saw a man outside. went straight to Wang Zhonglei.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang, do you remember me, I'm Yang Qing."
Wang Zhonglei was about to talk to Bai Yuhan, and he was not very happy about this young man who came over recklessly: "Who are you?" ”
"I'm Yang Qing, Mr. Wang, we talked on the phone. I wrote a notebook before. It's called "Night. shop", sent to Huayi Brothers. The screenwriting department refused. I went back and revised it again, but the screenwriting department didn't accept it anymore, so I had to go to the door to sell it and disturb Mr. Wang. Yang Qing put his posture very low, and he still held a script tightly in his hand.
Bai Yuhan listened to it on the side, and his heart moved.
Night. Shop", he has seen this movie, it is not bad, and it has investment prospects.
However, the other party came to vote for Huayi Brothers, so Bai Yuhan didn't say anything.
Wang Zhonglei was a little impatient: "You mean, you voted once before?" ”
"Yes."
"In principle, the scripts we sent back were all scripts that the company was not optimistic about." Wang Zhonglei coped with it without being salty.
Domestic film and television companies have an extreme view of scripts, either they are screenwriters who have proven themselves by a few, such as a big writer like Wang Shuo, everyone comes to the door to beg to write a script, or they don't need any formal scripts at all, and they don't look down on the screenwriters of Yeluzi. If Bai Yuhan hadn't accumulated fame for more than a year, it is estimated that no one would be able to look at it.
"Mr. Wang, I revised the script, and I revised it in detail, I think it's much better than the last time, I'm busy you can take a look at it again."
Wang Zhonglei pointed at Bai Yuhan: "I still have something to do here, or you will go to Huayi Brothers tomorrow, and I will take a look at it then." ”
The light at the door of the hotel was a little dim, Yang Qing didn't recognize Bai Yuhan, just nodded to Wang Zhonglei in a curt, turned around and left, without too much entanglement.
Wang Zhonglei smiled apologetically at Bai Yuhan and Zhao Dafei: "Many people in the company come to vote for scripts, but now domestic screenwriters can't do it, and they can't make up good scripts. But no, I think it's ugly when I look at the things I make up, and if I have your screenwriting ability, I'll wake up laughing when I sleep. ”
Bai Yuhan smiled and said: "We are a small company, so we rely on a little brain power to eat, and fortunately, Mr. Wang, you don't have a good screenwriter, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to eat this bowl of rice." ”
"Haha, swordsman, you are too exaggerated, your new entertainment rooted in micro concepts, I think it is very good, and the market prospects are still very broad. If it weren't for the fact that our Huayi Brothers are too big to be distracted now, I would also want to insert a hand in it, it's all money. ”
"If Mr. Wang really has intentions, we will definitely welcome it." Zhao Dafei said with a smell of wine, "The market is still a place. Women's land urgently needs more capital to enter the market and develop it, and only when it is ripe can it bear more fruit. ”
"Interlacing is like a mountain, we don't understand new entertainment, so it's better to be cautious. Wanhe Tianyi can be developed first, and when you have developed it, we will pick the fruit again, is it also a good choice? Wang Zhonglei made a joke and took the topic over, but they were still not optimistic about the prospects of this piece, "I'll drive you back?" ”
"No need, Da Fei and I both drove here, and we have already informed the secretary...... You see, Cao Cao Cao is here, Mr. Wang, you are busy, you go back first, and we will leave on our hind feet. Bai Yuhan saw it at a glance and saw that in a taxi opposite, two secretaries of the company's administration department walked down, both of whom could drive.
"Okay, I'll go back first, and we'll have dinner together another day."
“ok。 Walking. ”
Wang Zhonglei took the car and walked away, and the secretary also came over, complaining as soon as he came: "Editor-in-chief, Mr. Zhao, how to calculate overtime pay at night?" ”
Zhao Dafei smiled: "At this moment of behaving in front of the boss, do you still think about overtime pay?" ”
"I can't think about it. Your two bosses don't care about personnel, and you can't speak in front of Mr. Wang, so it's useless to pat yourself. "A secretary with glasses. Hum. I was very unhappy that I was called out at night and drove for him. The company's incentive system is coordinated by Wang Ziwen and Wang Yingying, and personnel appointments and dismissals are basically Bai Yuhan and Zhao Dafei, and they really can't interject.
I'm too embarrassed to interject. After all, everyone has a business in charge, and it is not good to cross the line.
Bai Yuhan's face darkened: "Damn, big fly." We're despised. ”
Zhao Dafei reprimanded: "You two guys, no wonder you have been in the company for so long, it's still 1-2, and you don't have any eyes at all." Destined not to be promoted! Although I am not in charge of personnel with the swordsman. But blowing the wind is such a piece of cake, and it doesn't come with your mouth open. Besides, if you perform well, the year-end bonus and I will definitely give you more! ”
"Cut, that's because we know the two of you too well, both are bosses with amnesia, and they can't be trusted!" A secretary with glasses, a sharp counterattack.
This is the style of Wanhetianyi, privately. There are no taboos, and bosses and employees can despise each other. New hires may still be unable to let go. The old employees who are familiar with each other are used to it.
Whether it was contempt or jokes, Bai Yuhan and Zhao Dafei got into the car separately.
On the way back, Bai Yuhan unexpectedly found that Yang Qing had not gone far yet, and was slowing down on the side of the road.
"Get out of the way, follow the guy."
Mercedes-Benz S350 pulled aside, Bai Yuhan lowered the glass, and shouted at the side of the road: "Is it Yang Qing?" ”
"It's me, you're it?"
"Get in the car and talk."
Yang Qingyue touched the car that could afford to drive a Mercedes-Benz, and it was estimated that he would not make money and kill him, so he opened the car door and sat in.
"I'm Bai Yuhan, I saw you when you talked to Wang Zhonglei just now."
"Bai Yuhan? Bai Yuhan in "Never Expected"? Yang Qing was surprised, Bai Yuhan's recent name, obviously he had heard of it.
"You've heard of me." Bai Yuhan smiled and said, "I am the editor-in-chief of Wanhe Tianyi, and we also do film and television investment, I see that Wang Zhonglei is not very keen on your script, I think, you might as well give it to me, I also want to invest in movies recently, try the water." ”
Unexpectedly, Yang Qing certainly wouldn't let go of this opportunity, so he handed over the script to Bai Yuhan immediately, and then explained his script and ideas endlessly.
This script is indeed the movie "Night. The original script of "Shop", except that there are some places, which are slightly different from the movie version.
didn't say anything, Bai Yuhan was already in his heart, he had calculated it, and he wanted to test the water. The investment in this movie will not exceed 2 million, to be honest, it is still very easy for Bai Yuhan, who has been a little wealthy recently.
However, Bai Yuhan did not immediately agree to Yang Qing, but only told him that he liked this script very much, but he had to go back to a meeting with other people in the company to study it, so that Yang Qing should not worry. Yang Qing has been writing this book for a few months, and he has been looking for investors, so he doesn't care about waiting a few more days.
……
The next day, Bai Yuhan put "Night. The script was submitted to the company's meeting.
"I'll say a few points, this "Night. The shop has a bit of the feeling of "Crazy Stone", the Chinese film market, after the stone, has picked up, this kind of small-budget comedy, it is difficult to say how much money you make, but it is also difficult to lose money. In principle, I want us to invest in this film, and I talked a lot with Yang Qing, who has also directed TV series and some experimental short films, and has good directing skills. ”
After a pause, Bai Yuhan continued: "There is no problem in terms of revenue, but now the question is, do we have the ability to release a one-step movie." Can you contact the publisher and the theater chain to put "Night. Shop" to give it this chance of success. Mr. Wang, tell me about it. ”
Wang Ziwen nodded and said, "It's a bit hasty to suddenly invest in movies, but you can give it a try." Recently, the company has expanded rapidly, because the brand has been made, and the network has expanded rapidly. A low-budget comedy, it is not difficult to operate, and it can be launched. ”
Wang Ziwen replied very simply, since she took over Wanhe Tianyi, with a strong hand, she quickly pushed Wanhe Tianyi to the peak of development. But at the same time, Wang Ziwen also had a blind trust in Bai Yuhan, because although Bai Yuhan is unreliable, he will always have advanced vision and a full of scripture talent.
In particular, the works created by Bai Yuhan, although they are not mainstream film and television dramas, still pry the corners of the entertainment industry, which can be called genius.
makes Wang Ziwen, as long as it is a work supported by Bai Yuhan, she supports it.
Bai Yuhan is now optimistic about "Night. Although the company has never made film investment, she believes that this is a business that only makes money and does not lose money.
In this way, Night. The investment in the store is a certainty.
Wanhe Tianyi has already stretched one leg into the mainstream film and television circle. (To be continued......)
