Chapter 69: Invitation (Ask for Collection Recommendation)
Lin Yuquan said and handed the script in his hand to everyone, since he decided to invest twenty or thirty million yuan in each TV series, and these TV series are also related to the cultivation of newcomers such as Wang Luodan and Jiang Yan, naturally they can't be sloppy and just hand it over to a director to direct.
These three directors are the result of his careful consideration, each of them has rich directing experience, and has brilliant achievements in the field of TV dramas, and is also very good at directing TV dramas in the genre of military war.
Gao Xixi's "The Sky of History" won the award in 02 and won the soft hand, Kang Honglei's "The Years of Burning Passion" became famous in one fell swoop, which can be called a classic, Zheng Xiaolong's "The Story of the Editorial Department" left a deep impression on him, it is a happy memory for many people, and although director Zheng Xiaolong has no relevant military works, he used to be from the army, I believe that "Happiness Like Flowers" will definitely be filmed wonderfully in his hands.
But Lin Yuquan didn't make up his mind about which one to choose.
Lin Yuquan has no idea, and the same goes for others, even Ning Hao didn't give a suggestion, after all, these three people are very good, and I believe that anyone can shoot this TV series well.
"Boss, I don't know anything else, but as an agent, I think only the director is our own people, the economic benefit is the greatest, after all, according to your idea, boss, we will invest in filming a few TV series every year in the future, rather than cheap outsiders, it is better to cheap our own people, so I mention yƬ, the three directors who are willing to sign a contract with us and become the contracted director of Dawn, the TV series will be filmed." Chang Jihong said meaningfully.
Everyone's expressions were shocked, and even Lin Yuquan showed an expression of interest.
"But everyone else is a well-known director, and they don't have to worry about not having a TV series to shoot, are they willing to accept such conditions?" Xiao Yang asked worriedly.
Ning Hao glanced at him: "Do you think it's so easy for every director to pull investment?" It is very difficult for even well-known directors to make movies and TV series exactly according to their own wishes, and our TV series investment is so large that it should be very attractive for any TV drama director. ā
If it weren't for the fact that he studied film directing and was determined to develop in the direction of film director, even he felt that the TV series invested by the company was good, not to mention that the script of "Happiness Like Flowers" was of high quality.
"Did the sea leap do that?" Lin Yuquan asked noncommittally.
Chang Jihong shook his head and said: "Not before, mainly because it is riskier to do so, after all, the director and the actor are different, and no one dares to guarantee the quality of the director's work, once a drama is smashed, it will be easy for people to lose confidence in him, unlike actors, a drama is popular, and it can be eaten for several years, so Hai Yan has not made up his mind, but I think a large film and television company definitely needs to have its own director." ā
Indeed, if there is its own director, it will be very convenient, and it can also better help the company train the actors of its own brokerage company, as for whether there is a risk, Lin Yuquan doesn't care, if the director can't shoot the work well in the case of such a large investment, it can only mean that the director's ability is problematic, but neither Kang Honglei nor Gao Xixi are mediocre people, I believe they won't smash it no matter how they toss.
After thinking about it, he made a decision and said, "Then help me find the contact information of Director Gao Xixi and Director Kang Honglei later, and I'll call them to see which of the two of them is willing to sign Shuguang?" ā
"What about Director Zheng Xiaolong?"
"Director Zheng Xiaolong, Director Gao Xixi, Director Kang Honglei is completely different, he is a long-famous senior in the TV drama industry, with countless connections, others don't have to worry about having no drama to film, how can they agree to sign a contract in such a way?" Of course, Lin Yuquan also hopes to have a director like Zheng Xiaolong join the company, but Zheng Xiaolong is the first batch of pioneers in the TV drama industry, and has created one brilliant first after another, and Feng Xiaogang, Ge You, Zhao Baogang, Wang Shuo, Jiang Wen and others can have today's achievements are also closely related to him, how can such a meritorious person be moved by a company like Shuguang that has not been established for a long time, and is tied to a few TV series.
"Indeed, if Director Zheng Xiaolong was willing to sign a contract with a film and television company, Huayi Brothers and Haiyu Film and Television would have wooed him at any cost, and it would not be our turn to do such a thing now." Ding Wei nodded.
Lin Yuquan clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention: "Okay, next, Sister Chang is responsible for the opening of Shuguang Brokerage Company, and Manager Ding, you are responsible for the preparation of the two films." Director Fang, you urge the progress of the Haoting Decoration Company that decorates the office for us, Brother Hao, your movie casting must also be done as much as possible, so be it! ā
After the meeting, the entire Shuguang company immediately started running at full capacity.
"Boss, this is the contact information of Director Kang Honglei and Director Gao Xixi." Coming from Hairun with Chang Jihong, Tang Qian, who had previously served as Tai Na's agent assistant, said softly, and then handed the note in his hand to Lin Yuquan.
Because Lin Yuquan did not have an agent team before, she was sent by Chang Jihong to serve as Lin Yuquan's secretary and assistant agent, and Tang Jihong personally served as the agent.
"Okay, you go out to work first!" Lin Yuquan took the note and said.
Waiting for Tang Qian to close the office door, Lin Yuquan took the note and looked at it, and after thinking about it again, he dialed Kang Honglei's phone first.
"Hello, Director Kang, I'm Lin Yuquan."
The person opposite seemed to be stunned, and then said uncertainly: "You are Lin Yuquan of "Huo Yuanjia". ā
"That's right, I'm that Lin Yuquan." Lin Yuquan touched his nose, his time to become famous was too short, and he only had one work, so now "Huo Yuanjia" has become synonymous with him.
Kang Honglei was surprised, he has been filming TV series since he was transferred to Inner Mongolia TV, and he has nothing to do with Lin Yuquan, a new generation of film directors who are currently in full swing, and it is impossible for the other party to find him to make movies! So he asked suspiciously: "Hello, Director Lin, I've been hearing your name recently, what are you looking for me?" ā
"Director Kang, that's the case, we are now preparing to produce a TV series, which is a military theme, Director Kang has directed "The Years of Burning Passion" before, and he is very good at this kind of theme, so I want to ask Director Kang to serve as the director of this TV series, I don't know if you have time recently?"
Filming a TV series, Kang Honglei was stunned, and then said regretfully: "I'm sorry, I have already received a contract for the next TV series this year, and I don't plan to shoot anything else for the time being." ā
"When is Director Kang's TV series going to start?" Lin Yuquan didn't give up immediately, according to the filming cycle of TV dramas, if you prepare properly, it is normal to have two or three TV series a year.
"It's still in full swing of preparations, probably in July, and filming will start in August at the latest." Kang Honglei didn't hide anything, and said without thinking.
In July and August, Lin Yuquan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Director Kang, our TV series is going to start filming in March and April, in terms of time, Director Kang can finish filming our TV series and then shoot another TV series, I think it will not have any impact on your work plan." ā
"I'm sorry, I still can't agree to your kindness, although there is no conflict in time, but I don't like shoddy production, I will do my best to shoot every work, so I need enough time to prepare and conceive, one TV series a year is already my limit, if I shoot two or three a year, it will inevitably affect the quality of film and television dramas." Kang Honglei didn't even ask about the plot, investment, and salary of the TV series, so he refused bluntly, although he also longed for money, but as a director, he has the responsibility to bring good works to the audience.
Lin Yuquan appreciated Kang Honglei's insistence on the principle of high-quality products, so he continued to fight: "Director Kang, our Shuguang investment in filming TV dramas also hopes to create high-quality dramas, so the investment is definitely the greatest support, please rest assured, and the TV series we are going to shoot is a very wonderful military TV series, I can fax you the script later." ā
But Kang Honglei still refused again without hesitation: "Director Lin, I believe in the quality of your selection of scripts, for directors, it is indeed very exciting to see a good script, but I don't want to be distracted before I finish the TV series in hand." ā
Putting down the phone, Lin Yuquan smiled bitterly, maybe Kang Honglei's success lies in his persistence, but this persistence has disappointed his hopes.
However, Lin Yuquan didn't have time to sigh too much, he had too many things to do during this time, and the director of "Happiness Like Flowers" definitely needed to settle down as soon as possible, so he immediately dialed Gao Xixi's phone.
"Hello, Gao Dao, I'm Lin Yuquan."
"Lin Yuquan, you are Lin Yuquan who filmed "Huo Yuanjia"." Gao Xixi asked in surprise.
"Yes, it's me, I didn't disturb your work!" Lin Yuquan replied with a smile.
"No, I'm resting at home right now, are you looking for me?" Gao Xixi said heartily.
"As far as we are going to invest in the filming of a military-themed TV series, I have watched Director Gao's previous "The Sky of History", and I think your style is very suitable for this TV series, I want to ask you if you have time to direct it recently?" Lin Yuquan said.
"Time is no problem, let's meet and talk!" Gao Xixi agreed very happily, it's not that he doesn't have a TV series to film, in fact, he just finished filming "The Wrong Car", and he was going to take a break for a while, but who invited Lin Yuquan personally?
With the popularity of "Huo Yuanjia", Lin Yuquan has become the hottest topic in the circle of directors of their Kyoto Film Academy, and unlike other directors, he went to the cinema to watch "Huo Yuanjia", and the shock from the bottom of his heart has not been diluted until now, and he admires Lin Yuquan's action guidance ability from the bottom of his heart.
And Lin Yuquan's next investment of 200 million yuan in the big production is even more of a big deal that makes him feel the dawn, and now that Lin Yuquan personally invited him to shoot a TV series, he must attach great importance to the upcoming TV series, although rest is important, but who makes him a person who can't be idle, if there is a good TV series shooting, less rest is nothing.
"Yes, when is Gao Dao free?" Lin Yuquan himself didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
"Tomorrow morning at 10 a.m., the venue is at the new Thai restaurant on Fangcao Road." Gao Xixi said with a deep groan.
"OK, I'll see you then." Lin Yuquan said with a smile.
"See you then."
