The company's connections are indeed not incomparable, although Gold Records is only a record company, although Gold Records has only been established for less than a year, but when Gold Records is fully operational, the script is still like snowflakes into the company.

"The Flying Eagle?" Li Lin was stunned when he saw an unfamiliar name, and then continued to watch, "Director Ma Chucheng, is it expected that Michelle Yeoh and Li Bingbing will be cast in the cast?" ”

"Why haven't I heard of it?"

Li Lin thought about it for a while, he really didn't have the memory of this "Flying Eagle" in his mind, so he simply gave up this movie, although Michelle Yeoh and Li Bingbing's cast is strong, but since there is no trace of this movie in his memory, it proves that the box office of this movie is really not good.

If he really misses this box office dark horse, he has nothing to complain about, now he is a good steel that must be used on the blade, and not a penny can be invested wrongly.

"Baby in Love? Rong Xinda company system zuò? ”

"Isn't that the company that signed up for Zhouxun?"

Li Lin thought about it for a while and gave this movie to PASS, although the movie "Baby in Love" achieved a box office of 28 million and became the tenth place in the annual box office list of Chinese films in 04, but the investment was too large, the director did not control the cost of directing the investment again and again, and finally exceeded 30 million yuan, and the scandal of the investor running away broke out, this kind of movie that will inevitably lose money Li Lin PASS it as soon as possible.

Speaking of which, the investment in a love movie like this can actually exceed 30 million yuan, and the director's control of the cost is too powerful.

"New Police Story? Starring Brother Cheng Long. Emperor Investment? Li Lin thought about it for a while and still passed it, the investment and income were not proportional at all, and it was another loss-making movie.

"Sanda? I haven't heard of it, PASS. "Dancing Pie"? I haven't heard of it, PASS....... ”

Li Lin passed dozens of movies in a row, and in the end, he couldn't help but have a headache, he rubbed his temples, "Why don't you have "No Thieves in the World" and "Kung Fu" to seek investment?" ”

These two movies that invested tens of millions of dollars but broke 100 million yuan are great works of money, but Li Lin also knows that the other party can't come to him for investment.

Feng Xiaogang, the director of "No Thieves in the World", is Huayi's top director, and Huayi is quite unhappy with Li Lin's behavior of not leaving after crossing the border, and it is impossible for them to let themselves invest.

As for Kung Fu. Li Lin shook his head, Zhou Xingchi has always been an arbitrary person, if he invests in "Kung Fu", he will definitely not be able to insert artists to play supporting roles. And Colombia, the investor in Kung Fu, is not short of money, and they will never allow anyone to steal their cake.

"The movie is in troubled waters, and it's really not good."

Li Lin flipped through a few pages and still didn't find the movie in his memory that could make a lot of money, so he simply opened the TV script in an irritable mood.

"Huh." Just opened it and gave Li Lin a surprise. "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty?"

The Legend of the Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty is a TV series adapted from Master Huang Yi's novel The Legend of the Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty. In Li Lin's previous life, the 42 episodes of costume martial arts TV series produced and broadcast by Hong Kong TVB caused a sensation as soon as it was broadcast, although TVB's adaptation of the original book made many martial arts fans criticize, and the special effects also made many martial arts fans feel a little scum, but in that world where Jin Yong's drama is dominant, "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is still like a spring breeze, bringing freshness to martial arts fans.

And Hong Kong in this time and space has returned early, although TVB has zài, it is not as brilliant as in the previous life, under the impact of CCTV and many local stations. TVB, which is only allowed to broadcast in Hong Kong, can only be said to be barely self-protective.

So Cai Jingsheng is pulling investment everywhere.

"Mr. Qi." Li Lin dialed the company's president, Qi Xiangdong, and said, "Come to my office." ”

After Li Lin hung up the phone, he read the script again. Several TV stations have been picked out by him in a row, ""Golden Branch Desire", "Iron Tooth and Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan Part 3", "Yangmen Tiger General". ”

"The movie is not good, but the TV series is full of harvest."

"These three plus "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", the company will definitely have a bumper harvest in TV dramas next year."

Knock knock!

There was a knock on the door, and Li Lin said that he came in and looked at Qi Xiangdong straight to the point, "These four TV series are the company's key investment directions this year." ”

"Among them, you can discuss the TV series "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" with the director and discuss the choice of artists."

Qi Xiangdong looked up at Li Lin, "Want casting rights?" ”

"That's right." Li Lin said, "Although the company has just set foot in the film and television production industry, it must also have lofty goals, only big cats and small cats are not enough, I plan to use this TV series to support the company's newcomers." ”

"Where's the newcomer?" Qi Xiangdong ssymped up, "I don't know what the former president of the company thinks, it's been a year since the company opened, and only four people have signed artists, except for you, I can't see that this company has the demeanor of a medium-sized record company." ”

In addition to the debuting artists, a record company should also have other artists to choose from, so that it can have the ability to resist risks, like the gold medal record company, a record company that relies on Li Lin alone, does not have the slightest ability to resist risks, if Li Lin is poached, it will fall in an instant.

"He didn't have the heart to be in the entertainment industry before." Li Lin smiled bitterly, and then said: "Okay, let's not discuss this now, I have been to South Korea before, and I think the trainee system in South Korea is good." ”

"Tongguò has a large number of trainees, and can continuously launch groups and solo singers, even if an idol group suddenly terminates the contract, Korean record companies can quickly launch new groups to fight the turmoil caused by the departure of popular idol groups."

Why does S.M dare to take advantage of popular idol groups? Why did popular groups such as HOT and Mythic Groups leave one after another, causing turmoil but not defeating S.M? The trainee system is the first to take the lead.

"I plan to introduce a trainee system, not only as a singer trainee, but also as an actor trainee."

"You're crazy." Qi Xiangdong was shocked, "Do you know how much it costs to introduce the trainee system?" Do you know how repulsive the parents of Huaxia are to the trainee system? And do you know that the existence of the trainee system will cause dissatisfaction among the major colleges? ”

"You're going to lead the company to a dead end."

Trainees have to spend money, and it costs money to hire vocal teachers and acting teachers, which is a lot of money, and in South Korea, a country with a mature trainee system, there are many parents who are disgusted with the trainee system and reject their children from being trainees, and the rejection is even greater in China.

The most important thing is the Academy.

In Korea, a teenager who dreams of stardom is a line that he signs a contract with a company as a trainee and makes his debut in the company, but in China, this line has become a line of "a teenager who dreams of stardom - a music (actor) academy - a record (film and television) fancy signing a contract - debut".

Li Lin's introduction of the trainee system has saved the intermediate link, but doing so is tantamount to offending colleges and universities large and small across the country, and if they unite to boycott the company, the company will be miserable.

After all, colleges large and small not only represent the new resources of the entertainment industry, but also represent the connections covering the entire entertainment industry.

"Unless you attach your trainees to an academy and treat them as students, you will only be resisted if you introduce the trainee system."

"And the trainee system doesn't mean it's good."

"Idols are important, but singing skills are equally important, taking South Korean record overlord S.M Company as an example, the idol group he launched is very popular, but what about singing skills? The stars who came down the assembly line were all in the same tune. Qi Xiangdong said in one breath, "Full commercialization is important, but full commercialization will only overwhelm the potential." ”

"Even in the film industry, which is the most commercialized, there are literary and artistic films, and the trainee system will only ban the storage of literature and art."

Li Lin thought for a while and said: "Recruit trainees, send them to the Korean Shinhwa Company for training, and then send them back to China." ”

Mythical company, a company opened by Mythical Combination, Li Lin occupies the vast majority of the shares.

"That's fine." Qi Xiangdong breathed a sigh of relief, "As for the chairman of the board, you said that you are supporting the company's newcomers, I think this idea is very good." ”

"We can cooperate with major colleges to send their students to the crew to play supporting roles, and if we find good seedlings, we will sign them immediately and then praise them."

"In this way, the company has a reserve force, and even if a pillar is poached, it will not be powerless."

Li Lin nodded undeniably, Qi Xiangdong This is the industry's serious words, Li Lin's Huayi in his previous life relied on this hand to resurrect from the poaching of Orange Sky.

In 05, Orange Sky Entertainment was established, Wang Jinghua poached eighty percent of Huayi's artists, and the top artists did not fall behind, hollowing out the entire Huayi, just when all the media looked down on Huayi, Huayi Tong guò praised Huang Xiaoming and Fan Bingbing to prove his star-making ability, which took a breath from the poaching of Orange Sky and gradually recovered his vitality.

"Okay, just do as you say, "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" needs casting rights, as for the other "Golden Branches", "Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan Part III", and "Yangmen Tiger General", we also have to insert actors into it, and it is best to persuade those directors to stagger the schedule."

"By the way, we are a carte bouthold, and we also want the right to issue."

Qi Xiangdong's eyelids jumped when he heard this, "Full investment? ”

"Chairman, don't we look for other people to cooperate?"

"Don't look for it." Li Lin smiled lightly, "Finding someone to cooperate is to share the risk, but I am sure that these TV series will make them profitable, so we don't need to find someone to come over and share our fruits." ”

"In addition, we have no shortage of distribution channels."

TV series are different from movies, how is the box office of a movie, and the strength of the distribution company is very important, but TV series are different, it all depends on the ratings.

TV dramas with high ratings are naturally begged to be bought, and TV dramas with low ratings will not be bought if you work hard to promote TV stations. (To be continued......)
