Episode 230 It's not easy to assemble a screenwriting team
(Up to now, the application for withdrawal from the full attendance plan is still under review, I don't know if it can be passed, if it really can't pass, I hope you understand.)
The second watch, there is another watch in the evening.
Lin Sanshao worships! )
Wang Rong really couldn't understand what Lin Feihong was doing, she didn't believe that Lin Feihong would go crazy because of headaches, even if it was like this, there were always some signs to show up, and it was impossible for a person to go crazy like this without warning.
Calling Leslie Cheung, Andy Lau, Xu Zhen, Wang Baoqiang and other four people, Ding Xu originally wanted to call Ah Long, Ah Xing and Li Lianjie, but they went out to play in the afternoon and were not in the villa, so they only called Leslie Cheung.
Wang Baoqiang has always been the most active one, walking in front of him violently, as if he was on top of the sky when it fell, a look of not being afraid of the sky and the earth made Ding Xu obsessed, walked to the door and probed into the crack of the door, retracted his head and retreated to look at the few people behind him and shook his head and said: "It's not helped, I've seen most crazy people and I haven't seen him like this, neatly dressed, don't talk nonsense, just laugh from time to time, the key is not here, the key is his daze eyes, staring at the front as if he was looking at something, It is said that most of these people are nervously wrong, and there are many folk legends that usually people with nervous problems will talk to the gods for no reason, and people like them can see the gods and ordinary people like us can't see them. ”
"Then what is the way for mortals like us to see the legendary gods?" Xu Zhen is very interested in the gods, although there is this kind of saying among the people, he has not really seen it, the teacher taught him that there is no god and ghost in the world, those legends are only used by some people to confuse everyone, science is the master of this world, everything can be explained by science, what cannot be explained is only that science has not reached that level. Everything has a basis, and its existence has its own reasonableness, just as the so-called existence is reasonable. For something to exist in this world, it must have its cause and effect, and nothing can get rid of cause and effect.
Wang Baoqiang glanced at Xu Zhen and said, "Make yourself crazy." ”
"So how do you make yourself crazy?" Xu Zhen's eyes widened happily. The look of hunger and thirst in his eyes was like the expression of a man who had not touched a woman in a long time when he suddenly saw a woman dressed in dew.
"You'll have to ask Fei Hong about this."
"You're really going." Wang Baoqiang pulled back Xu Zhen, who was about to go to the room to find Lin Feihong, gave him a blank look and said: "Now Feihong's mind is in a state of madness, if we act rashly, it will definitely make him even more crazy, and if we don't do it, we will die." ”
"Human life?" Wang Rong stopped in front of Xu Zhen with an exclamation, blocking the door and preventing anyone from approaching.
There was no way, everyone was talking about specific methods, and the door to the room was opened before they could come up with a good plan. The well-dressed Lin Feihong stood at the door and glanced at everyone with some surprise, he didn't understand why these people were gathered here.
Wang Rong looked back and saw her husband standing at the door, looking at Lin Feihong blankly as if she had met him for the first time.
"What's the matter, what are you discussing so lively?" Lin Feihong smiled and asked Wang Rong.
"Husband. Are you alright? Wang Rong looked Lin Feihong up and down, and found that he was in good spirits and didn't look like a crazy person, and then looked at Wang Baoqiang, always feeling that what he said was not so reliable.
"What can I do, isn't this a good place to stand here?"
Ding Xu stepped forward and took a step. said to Lin Feihong: "Then why were you staring at the air in the room just now, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying?" ”
I finally understood.,It turns out that they're here to discuss it because of this.,I guess they think they're crazy.,I smiled and explained to everyone the reason for what I just did.。
The reasons are not sufficient, but they are reasonable. It's very normal for a director to be imagining a scene, not to mention that they have seen Lin Feihong often staring at Lin Feihong for a long time when creating a new work, this is Lin Feihong's way of thinking, often like this, Lin Feihong's inspiration bursts, so there are so many classic movies.
With this explanation, everyone has a lot less suspicion about Lin Feihong's approach just now, they told Lin Feihong that his approach today is exaggerated, and I hope that Lin Feihong will pay special attention to these in the future, and tell everyone in advance so as not to make everyone worry, and if it is not good, he will be treated as a madman, and the way to treat a madman Lin Feihong has not seen it, but it can always be imagined, and it is definitely not a friendly way
Guo Wenli and Feng Qingyang are busy now, the movie is okay, the most is to count the box office of "Covering the Sky", now "Covering the Sky" has just been released in China, as for the overseas release, there is no hurry, now the overseas market has matured, and the income is also good, like the total overseas box office of "Source Code", which was just released overseas a month ago, is 3.588 billion, of which the North American box office is 1.081 billion, and the box office of the other five developed countries is more than 500 million on average, what does this mean? Overseas markets are maturing, and it's time to start making profits, so there's a lot less to worry about in that regard.
But projects other than Qihong Film and Television Company have made Feng Qingyang and Guo Wenli worry a lot, Lin Feihong has to set up a screenwriting team, what foundation to establish, these main work in the early stage have to be taken care of by them, is it difficult for Lin Feihong to know at the beginning of everything, who knows the pain he experienced when he developed the overseas film market?
The most difficult thing is to form a screenwriter team, although there are many writers on Singularity.com, but there are very few writers who really write scripts, even if there is a high probability that this new strategy script will be made into a movie, but if there is no one who gives the writer a certain remuneration, no one will stick to it, interests are the driving force of everything, and mercenary is always applicable to any group of people, because everything people do is for profit, and no one will do useless work without benefits, even if it is useless work now, it is also for more benefits in the future.
To attract famous screenwriters, you must feed their appetites, it is not easy to feed these famous people in the situation that has just started now, the only way is to burn money, a company to develop new projects better not to burn money, otherwise no matter how big the company can not withstand such a toss, so there is no eighty percent certainty that often a company does not dare to act rashly.
I don't know if Lin Feihong considered this issue when he made this decision, now Singularity.com is considering whether to accept this condition, it is quite easy to form a screenwriter team with the ability of Singularity.com, it is easy to build and it is difficult to keep, if you don't give them a certain commitment and a certain guarantee, it is really not easy to cultivate a group of strong screenwriters, so it is essential to burn money in the early stage.
Poaching famous screenwriters from other large companies, this is a way to avoid or reduce money burning, a famous screenwriter's scripts are often more classic, their fame is not built, if the early stage can be made into a movie through the scripts of these screenwriters to make a profit, then the money can be used to develop the screenwriter team, even if the profit of this money is not high, at least it can reduce the early burning funds, so according to this reasoning, this method is still the only feasible method at present.
"Mr. Feng, just use this method, this can reduce a lot of risks, if you send money to train some new people at the beginning, it will cost a lot, do you think, how many god-level writers have been cultivated by Singularity.com since the establishment of the website? Isn't there very few, the probability is extremely low, so the more conservative method is to ask a few famous screenwriters to stand on their feet first, only when the foundation is stable, there will be more abundant development funds and sufficient resources, so that is the policy of sustainable development. ”
Guo Wenli made a pot of tea and handed it to Feng Qingyang, and then continued: "Singularity.com is thinking about it, saying that it is actually delaying time, in other words, it doesn't agree with our project, after all, it is risky to do so, but if we first invite a few or individual screenwriters to station according to the method just discussed, then Singularity.com will also agree, and let us bear the risk, and it doesn't matter if they don't agree or not, right?" ”
Feng Qingyang shook his head and said: "This screenwriting team is formed by our company, Singularity.com is our superior company, although we are also an independent company, but the voice of Singularity.com is still very important, they are considering a reason for burning money, but the most important reason is how much value this screenwriter team can create, and how much water they can get from it."
As long as it is profitable, no matter how much money is burned in the early stage, how much effort they will do, the key is whether the cost can be recovered. Capitalist society is a mercenary society, and in this society, it is only natural that two partners or companies talk about profits, because society is like this.
Especially for the interests of large companies, it is even more important, if I guess correctly, Singularity.com is now doing a screenwriter team interest analysis, and they are trying to make more of this cake home. ”
Guo Wenli nodded, and after being silent for half a while, she said to Feng Qingyang: "If they divide this cake too much, then we can only create this screenwriting team independently, is it possible that we work hard to make money for them?" Although they are the parent company of our company, our company is completely independent but under the name of Singularity."
Feng Qingyang said with a wry smile: "Although Qihong Film and Television Company is an independently operated company, 49% of the company's shares belong to Singularity.com, and Feihong's shares account for 51%, although we have the right to speak, 49% of the benefits created by the company are still in the pocket of Singularity.com, so we have any projects and they want to share a role, and we must not let them sit back and enjoy their success, we are not so stupid as a stupid thing to make wedding clothes for others, and Singularity.com must make great efforts to form a screenwriting team this time. Because they're experts in this area. ”
