CHAPTER XXIII
"I can't help with that." Wang Luodan's temperament is like this, he answered very simply, and then looked sideways at Jiang Yan and said: "Yanzi, let's talk about it, a group of us usually have the most effective ideas for you, unlike someone who is full of dirty ideas." ”
"Please, classmate Dandan, where did I recruit you to provoke you, you said yours, don't bury me!" Xiao Yang immediately shouted aggrievedly.
"Hehe, it's you!" Zhu Yawen smiled triumphantly.
Jiang Yan and Luo Jin suddenly snickered beside them.
"Don't be funny, let's get down to business!" Lin Yuquan was also happy, but he couldn't help but remind.
"I can't help with that." Luo Jin suddenly restrained his laughter and said helplessly.
"Don't look at me, I won't either, besides, how can our acting department know about this kind of thing, it must be your director department who is good at it, Xiao Yang, do you say this is the truth." Jiang Yan, who had always had a lot of ideas, shook her head helplessly, and then looked at Xiao Yang with a smile.
"It's as if I know, I'm just a student majoring in film and television advertising, it's okay to make a small commercial and a short film, but forget about the movie, if you want me to say, only Brother Hao knows this among all of us, he is the only one who has really made a movie and won an award." Xiao Yang looked at everyone dissatisfied, and glared at Jiang Yan fiercely.
"Wow, yes, why did you forget Senior Ning Hao, he must know." Zhu Yawen patted his forehead and said with a sudden realization.
The rest of the people also reacted, and hurriedly turned their heads to look at Ning Hao.
It is also because a few people are not familiar with Ning Hao, so they didn't expect Ning Hao for a while.
When everyone saw Ning Hao, they were stunned, only to see him holding his forehead with his hand, and there were words in his mouth as if no one was reading them, and they could vaguely hear words such as "jade", "international thief", "security chief", "thief" and so on.
"Brother Hao, Brother Hao." Xiao Yang shouted, and shook his right hand in front of Ning Hao's eyes, and when he saw that he didn't react, he shook his arm again.
"What's the matter?" Ning Hao came back to his senses with a blank expression.
"Of course it's a serious matter! Didn't you hear what we said just now? Really, that's the case, Yuquan is going to make a movie, but he doesn't know much about the formation of the crew, and he wants you to help come up with ideas. Xiao Yang said angrily.
"Yes! Brother Hao, you are the most experienced in this area, what do you think I should do now to form the crew relatively quickly?" Lin Yuquan followed.
"Oh, I'm sorry, when I heard you talk about gambling stones just now, I suddenly had an inspiration in my head, so I was busy thinking about the story, so I didn't hear you speak." Ning Hao said apologetically to Lin Yuquan.
"It's okay, but Brother Hao, you're too powerful, I just said it casually, you actually had the inspiration for the script." Lin Yuquan gave a thumbs up in admiration.
The rest of the crowd nodded their heads.
Ning Hao grinned embarrassedly, then thought about it before saying: "Forming a crew is a crucial link, if it is a general small-budget movie, we can set it up with the help of the younger students of the Kyoto Film Academy, and we will get strong support from the academy, but your movie is a large-scale production with an investment of tens of millions, and the scenes in the movie are very large, there are at least hundreds of actors and group actors participating in the performance, and it is not a life movie with a realistic theme, but a kung fu film in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The shooting equipment, costumes, props, venues, and sets involved in it all require careful preparation, and the work task is quite arduous. In addition, your movie is a commercial production, and the goal must be the screen screening of cinemas across the country, so it is difficult to get the recognition of the theater chain for a small fight, in this case, the actors, lighting engineers, photographers, set designers, makeup artists, costume designers, martial arts instructors and others must definitely be professional, and these are things that we can't do by ourselves, even if we can find professional crews, it is bound to take a long time, so if you want to form a good crew as soon as possible, It is necessary to need the assistance of a professional film company. ”
Lin Yuquan was thoughtful, he was ready to set up his own crew like Ning Hao at the beginning, but after Ning Hao said it, he realized how wrong he was, after all, he and Ning Hao's movies are different, such a huge crew, if there is no film company, how can he do it, and what he can't afford the most now is time, only relying on himself and others, I don't know how to officially start the movie in the Year of the Monkey.
But really looking for film companies to cooperate, and they have full authority to operate, Lin Yuquan is very unwilling, he is not out of money to invest in movies, why bother asking for trouble, and then he will be restrained by those damn film companies, and his film is destined to make money, why let others take a piece of the pie for nothing.
Instead of this, it is better to set up a film company by yourself, find a professional manager to be responsible for the management of the company, and be your own director, and make whatever you want.
The more Lin Yuquan thought about it, the more he felt good, so he asked: "I don't want to be restricted by film companies, should I register and set up my own film company?" ”
"Set up a company?" Ning Hao frowned, didn't answer directly, but asked in a deep voice, "How many funds do you have now?" And what is the budget for making a movie? ”
"More than 58 million, I plan to use 400000 of them to shoot "Huo Yuanjia", as for the remaining 18 million, I think it should be more than enough to open a film company." Because of the limited funds, this is already a distribution method that Lin Yuquan thinks is more appropriate.
Although I had heard Lin Yuquan talk about the experience of gambling on stones and getting rich before, Ning Hao couldn't help but be shocked when he suddenly heard this number, but how old was he in the end, so he still calmed down: "Of course, it's no problem to open a film company for 18 million, but have you ever thought that after you set up a film company, can you start preparing for movies immediately?" The answer is definitely no, because you need to buy and lease relevant shooting equipment and office space, you need to recruit management personnel and staff, you also need to apply for film and television shooting permits and go through relevant procedures, and when these are on the right track, it will take at least half a year. In addition, your personnel also need to go through the run-in and accumulate experience, if you start with such a big system, it is inevitable that there will be a difference. In your current situation, you can directly buy a ready-made film company, after all, most domestic films are loss-making and not profitable, and the most important thing in Kyoto at the moment is some film companies that have experience in making zuò, but are on the verge of bankruptcy due to improper investment. You only need to buy a company that has the rights to produce and distribute film and television, and is operating normally for the time being, and it doesn't cost much, it is estimated that you can get it for a few million. ”
Lin Yuquan nodded, this is indeed a good idea, which is not only in line with his mind of not being controlled by others, but also can work quickly, and will not affect the filming time of "Huo Yuanjia".
"So what do I do next?"
"It's very simple, you directly find an intermediary agency that provides the business of the acquisition company, tell them your acquisition requirements, and they will naturally operate it for you." Ning Hao laughed.
"It's as simple as that?" Xiao Yang next to him asked uncertainly.
"Of course it's as simple as that." Ning Hao sipped coffee comfortably.
"Wow! It looks like we're going to have a studio owner to be friends with soon. Xiao Yang immediately danced beside him.
"If you want me to say, how can a film company boss be enough, at least he has to set up another artist agency and sign all of us big guys when the time comes." Jiang Yan blinked and chuckled.
"You have a lot of ghost ideas, but when I needed your ideas just now, why didn't you want to push them directly to others?" Lin Yuquan laughed out loud.
"I really didn't know just now, and besides, didn't I give you a good Jianyi now?" Jiang Yanjiao said with a smile.
"Yes, Yuquan, set up a brokerage company, after the brokerage company is established, I won't charge you the signing fee, you can just give me a male protagonist." Zhu Yawen said with a grin.
"I'm not greedy, I'm satisfied with the second male." Luo Jin echoed.
"Why are you coaxing with the swallows, and you still have the male number one and the male number two, do you think the male protagonist is a radish and cabbage on the rotten street, do you want to pick up as much as you want? Let's sharpen your acting skills first, don't be too anxious. Lin Yuquan smiled, it is indeed a good idea to set up a brokerage company, but now he has no time, and he has no influence for the time being, and he has no way to develop the brokerage company and give his friends the help they need.
"I know, I know, my acting skills are not qualified for the actor, don't worry, I will continue to hone my acting skills, and then wait for your agency to be established and give me the actor a chance." Zhu Yawen said with a smile.
Lin Yuquan didn't say anything, just a smile on his face, what he admired most about Jiang Yan and Zhu Yawen was that they could hold back their restlessness, and their own personalities also belonged to people who studied acting skills wholeheartedly, not so much flamboyant and drilling, although a few people seem to be unknown at the moment, and Liu Yifei is far away, but he thinks that the follow-up development potential of several people even exceeds Liu Yifei, Liu Yifei currently relies more on his own fresh and elegant temperament, but this temperament is in his teens and twenties. will help her soar in her acting career and win the popularity of countless people, but when she reaches the age of twenty or thirty, it will remain the same, people will begin to be critical of her, and she will inevitably go downhill without the support of her acting skills.
"Actually, I also have good news to tell you, I auditioned for the role of the TV series "Butterfly Feifei" last week, and yesterday the staff called to inform me that I was selected by the director." Wang Luodan's face couldn't hide her excitement, seeing that her classmates were starring in film and television dramas one after another, especially her good friend was selected by Zhou Xingchi as the heroine of "Kung Fu", she has been secretly very anxious, and now her own opportunity has finally come.
"Yoxi, what's the role?" Zhu Yawen asked in surprise.
"Hehe, the female No. 2 Mai Lele, the male and the female are Tong Dawei and Yang Yan, according to the staff, this TV series will start filming next month, let me leave a good schedule in advance, and in addition, I will make a cameo appearance in "Ke Ke Xili" directed by Lu Chuan in a few days." Wang Luodan said briskly.
"Good things come in pairs, congratulations, Dandan." Jiang Yan said with a smile.
"Yes, I hope you will use this opportunity to become popular and famous in one fell swoop." Xiao Yang said happily.
"Where is it so easy, I just hope that everyone will recognize my watch, and the rest doesn't matter." Wang Luodan took this very lightly.
Lin Yuquan praised that an actor can only be truly successful if he can endure his temperament, and becoming popular overnight is often a quick hit and a faster fall.
"Jin Shao, only the two of us haven't been the protagonists yet, it seems that we have to work harder." Zhu Yawen said to Luo Jin beside him.
Luo Jin smiled bitterly, he is worse than Zhu Yawen, not only the protagonist, he has not received a play in the past two years.
"Today is really a special festive day, I am about to shoot the first film of my directorial career, and Dandan, you are also going to shoot the first TV series and the first movie of your acting career, it is really too commemorative, let's celebrate, the most important thing is that I am very lucky to make a windfall, if you don't invite everyone to eat a big meal, how can you say it, what do you want to eat?" Lin Yuquan said with a smile.
"Of course it's okay to celebrate, but since it's a celebration for the two of us, how can you let you break the bank alone, wait for us to have a treat together, don't say it, it's so decided, I want to eat big-mouthed overlord ribs, what about you?" Wang Luodan said happily.
