Office on the third floor of Yelin Building

"The owner...... My brother and Ying Tar are waiting in the reception room......"

Liang Huan has a pair of panda eyes, obviously lack of sleep, and as soon as the advertisement for a live-in nanny with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan was published, there were several sacks of snowflakes like letters.

The burden of the preliminary review of the audition, because of confidentiality, fell on the shoulders of the agent Jing Jing and the assistant Liang Huan, who had to deal with things outside......

The burden of the preliminary trial was all on the head of the cute girl of Peking University.

"It's weird, I don't talk to them about the script, let your brother go back first, just leave Ying Tatar, the director and director, how to control the screenwriter is the director's business.

The screenwriter is the soul of the play, but the director is the manager of the whole team, I didn't understand it wrong, right? ”

Jiang Yelin looked at the girl with dark circles under her eyes, and felt a little distressed, these days, it is still better for a cute girl to have a wood to the boss?

"Then you're really wrong! Boss Jiang, don't blame me uninvited, contemptible people should be tartar, Liang Da and Liang Er's buddies, I came here today to discuss with you about sitcom investment! ”

A fat guy with a big face squeezed into the glass door, his head was covered with sweat, and the small eyes behind the lenses blinked with a little joy.

"Liang Huan, do you know that you want boiling water to serve tea to this person? Then let your brother wait in the reception room, snacks, fruits, drinks, tubes, only eat, don't take with you know no! ”

Jiang Yelin waved his hand and asked the fat man to sit down, he knew that Ying Ta himself was also an actor, and he had made a cameo role in "Don't Worry", which was completed not long ago......

In the end, he is a child of Beijing Renyi, and the literary and artistic atmosphere on his body is still quite strong.

"I'm listening, isn't the director the soul manager of a crew?" Jiang Yelin sent Zhongnanhai over, and in front of the son of a former deputy ministerial-level cadre, he couldn't afford to waste Panda brand cigarettes.

To say, Xiao Tang has been busy lately, and he has a lot less opportunities to smoke from home, and the panda card is a bit of a trend of not being connected to the end.

"Boss Jiang, from the perspective of film and television shooting and artistic creation, what you said is not bad, the director and screenwriter are the soul of a play, but from the perspective of film and television drama production......

The producer or the producer in Hong Kong is the manager of the whole play, the director is just a position, and the producer or producer is the key to the success or failure of a play! ”

If Ying Tatar was not highly myopia, he might have taken a different path when he was conscripted into the army in his early years.

"Then should I call you Director Ying, or should I be a producer? Or should it be supervised? ”

Jiang Yelin asked with a smile, the taste of Zhongnanhai is indeed not as good as the panda brand, could it be that his own taste is called Xiao Tang's cigarette to corrode and attract prisoners?

"It depends on how you say it, generally speaking, investors are naturally producers, but some investors are only responsible for investment and not for artistic control and technical coordination......

Then you can entrust a professional to serve as the executive producer, exercise the producer's power on behalf of the investor, and as for the specific management of the crew to complete the shooting, you can also hire the production director to complete it! ”

Ying Tar was a little proud when he answered, it seemed that the young boss opposite was a layman, so things would be much easier.

According to my opinion, there are three types of producers, one is the investor or producer, and the other is the planner and financier of the whole show.

The third is the producer who is professionally and technically responsible for the whole play, these three categories are all producers, since you are looking for investment, do you want to be the second type of producer, or do you want to be the third category? ”

Jiang Yelin made up the knowledge from the agent quietly, and when he said it at this time, he was a bit of an insider, and Ying Tatar had mixed feelings in his heart after hearing this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Mr. Ying, this is your hot tea, be careful to burn it!" Liang Huan brought a plate to serve tea to Ying Ta, for the sake of the two brothers, reminding this product not to burn his mouth.

His own boss seems to have a bit of a bad taste for the visiting male compatriots, that is, to serve hot tea and see if he can burn people's mouths and make them fool people all day long.

"Thank you, thank you!" Ying Tar and Liang Huan are not too familiar, and the appearance of the talented girl in the Literature Department of Peking University is indeed not eye-catching, and there is no comparison with Ying Ta's beautiful wife in the early Chinese Cheng dù.

What's more, the baby at home is only one year old, and he really doesn't have the time to play too fancy outside.

"Mr. Jiang, from my original intention, of course, I hope that I am at least the second type of producer, in fact, some time ago I was also running around desperately looking for investors or sponsorship.

But it's a pity, I'm not interested much, people are really rich, and they also invested in the big drama of the TV drama production zuò center production zuò, after all, we are a grass stage team, right?

To put it mildly, no one dares to guarantee that it will be broadcast if it is filmed, and it will become popular if it is broadcast, right? ”

Ying Tatar is good at observing words and feelings, and knows how to speak to be both honest and sincere.

"Mr. Jiang, I always believe that a producer who does not think about the interests of investors is not a qualified producer.

Those who engage in crooked ways and evil ways and have unscrupulous intentions will not go far in the field of art, let alone in the field of commercial tide economy! What do you say? ”

"Of course, the rhetoric is good, and I love to listen to it, Director Ying, you are a sitcom, you are taking the road of cold humor when you are acupuncture, right? It's similar to satirical cross talk?

You know that in China, the openness of the ideological field is far less than that of the economic field, if it is filmed because of censorship, it cannot be broadcast, is our investment wasted? ”

Jiang Yelin has talked to Liang Zuo, and he roughly knows what kind of sitcom these guys are making, not that it is not bad, but the national conditions and systems of China and the United States are different.

Lao Mei's side is a completely market-oriented operation, no one cares whether you are sarcastic about the White House or the president, our side, our side you are just sarcastic about a section chief, maybe you can wear a small shoe.

"What I don't want to say is that there is a possibility that it will not be broadcast after filming, then there must be one, there are not a few people who have made so many movies in Xinhuaxia that have been banned, let alone a TV series?

Sitcoms are all small unit dramas that make up a series, and if you want to say that you can't step on the minefield, then there is no need for this scene to be filmed......"

Ying Tatar's answer was not hidden, he believed that the other party called him, not to simply tell him a yes or no.

To put it mildly, if you refuse to invest, it is enough to let Liang Huan pass a message to Liang Daliang Er, why invite yourself?

"Director Ying, in fact, I'm not worried about losing money, in Huaxia, this sitcom is a new thing, what I'm worried about is that we have also invested, and you have also fulfilled your wish to create......

At the end of the day, the tiger head and snake tail tree fell apart, you know that I am either not a person, or if I want to do it, I must do the best, you have also heard......

Ye Lin Company invested in Lao Zheng Xiaofeng's TV series, with a budget of 100,000 yuan per episode, you are a sitcom, how many episodes do you plan to film, and what is the budget? ”

Jiang Yelin's style of asking about the investment budget without asking about the harvest made Ying Taan feel a little moved, but as he said, a producer who does not consider the interests of investors is not a qualified producer.

Ying Tartar naturally came prepared, this thing patted his head, and he was colored,

"At present, I have worked with Liang Zuo and them to come up with 60 episodes of scripts, and if I really want to shoot them, I think I have to shoot 100 to 120 episodes.

If it is a hit after the broadcast, it can become an evergreen tree and continue to be filmed! The budget for each episode, if you use it tightly, 20,000 yuan per episode should be enough!

We don't need to invite big names, we can train stars by ourselves! ”

"As far as I know, most of the sitcoms in the United States are filmed and broadcast at the same time, with 13 or 4 episodes in a season, and 24 or 5 episodes in a season.

Why not shoot at a pace like 25 episodes in a single season? Jiang Yelin asked thoughtfully.

"This, Mr. Jiang, the national conditions of China and the United States are different, and people's TV dramas are all produced by private TV stations, and the broadcast time is arranged and guaranteed.

And once the ratings are not good, they will be cut immediately, our Huaxia TV station is state-run, and it is impossible to ask the TV center to make its own sitcom.

So we thought that if we want to make zuò, we have to sell the broadcast rights as a unit, in that case, an episode itself is more than 30 minutes, and 25 episodes really can't tell any story! ”

"You simply said that the number of episodes is too small to make money......"

Jiang Yelin's words made Ying Tar feel like a bosom friend, scratching his half-inch fat head and laughing.

"Director Ying, although I haven't read the specific script, I think the structure of this play seems to be a bit problematic, is this play called "No Love and No Home"?

Since it is a sitcom and a setting based on a family in Beijing, you want to take advantage of the popular American drama "The Troubles of Growing Up", right? ”

"If you don't say that you have an investment vision, there is indeed such a meaning in it, but "The Troubles of Growing Up" is a youth comedy, mainly about the story of the baby and the parents in the family.

Although our "No Love and No Home" is also a family comedy, it focuses more on the story of grandfathers and middle-aged parents, and it can't be regarded as taking the youth route......"

Ying Tar continued to scratch his head, to say that he was strong in talking about scripts with the layman young Kaizi boss, but at this time, he felt a little out of control.

"This story structure is inappropriate, inappropriate, I think it's very inappropriate!"

Jiang Yelin's words were like a scoop of cold water, pouring the sweaty Ying Fat Man into his heart, and Ying Fat said anxiously,

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang, there's nothing wrong, we can't copy "The Troubles of Growing Up", right? What's more, Liang Zuo has run for three of them, so it's really a bit difficult for us to write a youth comedy, isn't it? ”

"Why don't you write about the lives of young people under the tide of reform, since it's not a campus drama, why not make it a workplace office comedy?

You must take the family as the background, don't you feel that everything is perfect but lacks bright spots? It's not bad to be short in the parents, but isn't it a little too decadent?

Taking retired old cadres and satirizing middle-aged cadres can the common people applaud such a play? Will the leaders be satisfied? Jiang Yelin looked a little unrelenting.

"Hey, hey! Mr. Jiang, do you want to completely overthrow the drama "No Love and No Home"? Then why bother, don't you just say that we don't invest! Ying Tar finally couldn't hold his breath and jumped.

"Wrong, I'm planning to invest in sitcoms, but the theme of "No Love and No Home" is better to put it on hold first, and Yelin Film and Television Music Investment Co., Ltd. has a registered capital of 10 million......

Are you interested in the position of director of the TV department? The monthly salary starts from 12,000, and there are dividends at the end of the year! ”

Jiang Yelin offered a bid.
