Chapter 104 Yida Group
Lu Yuesheng has this question, Xiao Ran is not surprised, after all, his creative speed is indeed as fast as a rocket, and all his creations are basically successful, such a miracle even Lu Yuesheng must take a look at.
However, Xiao Ran didn't explain too much in this regard, because he understood that at Lu Yuesheng's level, if he had any doubts, as long as he opened his mouth, the people below would naturally hand in the answer.
And the fact is just like Xiao Ran's conjecture, since Lu Yuesheng found out that there was an eighteen-year-old musical genius on the Tianlai network, he had already noticed the name Xiao Ran.
Later, "Kung Fu STYLE", a seemingly ordinary promotional MV, not only received hundreds of millions of hits around the world, but also set off a wave of learning Chinese kung fu, which is why "Tai Chi" and "Undefeated in the East" were able to achieve good box office records in non-Chinese-speaking countries.
At that time, Lu Yuesheng really began to pay attention to Xiao Ran, and when he saw the script written by Xiao Ran from Xu Guangwen, he began to feel that this young man might set off a storm in the film industry in the future.
Sure enough, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" created by Xiao Ran has exceeded 35 million at the box office just after its premiere, which has already broken the past record of the entire Chinese film industry, which made Lu Yuesheng immediately make an appointment with him.
Because before this, Lu Yuesheng had already arranged for someone to investigate Xiao Ran, and confirmed that all his creations were made by himself, and there were no other gunmen and plagiarism, which is why Lu Yuesheng valued him.
If Xiao Ran can maintain such a strong creative power, as well as maintain the current level and quality of creation, then in the future, he will become a very terrifying gold-absorbing machine in the film industry, and to build his own entertainment empire, Lu Yuesheng lacks people like Xiao Ran!
Seeing that Xiao Ran didn't answer his question directly, Lu Yuesheng continued to ask: "Do you have any ideas for the next movie?" ”
When dating Xiao Ran, Lu Yuesheng had already heard reports from his subordinates about any information about Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran's father and seven senior brothers were all in the film industry, and he helped Xu Guangwen write a very good martial arts script, according to reason, he should have the intention of developing in the film industry.
Therefore, Lu Yuesheng did not directly solicit it, but asked Xiao Ran's thoughts.
Xiao Ran does have an idea, and if he wants to enter the film industry at this time, he must pass the level of Guò Lu Yuesheng.
Because in this world, Yida Group has more than 200 mega cinemas, and it can be said that its cinemas have accounted for at least nearly half of the country's box office, so if you want to make movies, you can't avoid the cinema chain!
Now Yida's route is to do theaters and distribution together, and investing in Struggle Film Company is also to ensure that it can get a good source of films, but Struggle Film Company only has two directors who can handle it at the moment.
One is Xu Guangwen, a big director who specializes in shooting martial arts and kung fu movies, and the other is Chen Guoxin, whose shooting techniques are more inclined to literary films, although the subject matter is changeable, but basically more delicate techniques.
But in addition to these two, there are too few other directors or screenwriters who can do it, and even the position of film producer is held by the two of them at the same time.
Therefore, Xiao Ran's bargaining chip for Yida Group lies in whether he can come up with film resources that impress Lu Yuesheng, for example, the most direct point is whether he can write a script like "Smiling Proud Jianghu" again?
Knowing that it can't be bypassed, it is impossible to hide it, so Xiao Ran simply said directly: "Mr. Lu, your Yida Group is the largest cinema company in the country, but there is only one struggle film company under it, and it can be said that the grasp of the source of the film is far from enough, so if Mr. Lu can support me to open a new company, I promise to provide at least five movies for Yida every year!" ”
Five movies is actually not a small number, like Chen Guoxin, a subsidiary of Struggle Film Company, can only make one or two movies a year.
Of course, if it weren't for the low production, with Chen Guoxin's talent and status, he could have proposed to form his own company, and there was no need to use the signboard of the struggle film company.
Lu Yuesheng thought for a moment, and felt that Xiao Ran's request was not excessive, and the same was true of the conditions that Xu Guangwen had negotiated with him at the beginning.
So Lu Yuesheng said: "How do you plan for me to support you?" If the conditions can be negotiated, I don't think it's a big problem. ”
After all, Lu Yuesheng has been in the entertainment industry since he started to establish Tian Lai Network, so he is different from the bosses who generally enter the film industry with foreign funds to be so foolish, for the issue of supporting Xiao Ran to open a company, what he needs to know is whether Yida Group can fully control this new company.
This point, Xiao Ran is also well thought out, because making movies itself is a very troublesome thing.
There are many problems to face in making a movie, how to recruit talents from all walks of life, how to get enough investment, how to coordinate the relationship with the theater side, how to deal with the government and the Radio, Film and Television Bureau, and how to deal with the characters who come to the company after making money......
Only by solving these problems can a film company operate normally and orderly, and there are not many characters who can completely help Xiao Ran solve these problems, even if Lu Yuesheng is one in front of him, so he can cooperate with him, Xiao Ran is willing to choose to back down.
"It doesn't cost much to start a film company, which I can afford by myself, but this company must be under the name of Yida Group, so as to ensure the normal and orderly operation of the company, and I am mainly responsible for the production and screenwriter of the film, and other personnel can be recruited externally, of course, the two directors of the struggle film company must also be in the ranks of the new company!"
Xiao Ran's approach is actually a film company that he personally has a very affectionate complex in his previous life, Xinyicheng Pictures!
The establishment of this company is a partnership of the three giants, the seven monsters sing on stage, and the company's funds mainly come from the golden princess, but it is completely self-managed.
And the filmed films are generally in charge in turn, and then the script goes first, under the premise of ensuring that the script is excellent, others will become tools to serve the whole play, and even the director must strictly follow the script to execute.
In fact, there are pros and cons to this approach, the advantage is that it can be controlled well, as long as the script is really perfect, the effect will be very good, but the disadvantage is that if the script is not good, it will be a mess of garbage!
But this question has no impact on Xiao Ran at all, because all kinds of classic scripts have already been firmly remembered in his mind!
