"Brother Jie, the movie "Assembly" is ready, I believe it won't be long before filming can officially begin!"

In the building of the headquarters of a celebrity film and television company, which is not very luxurious, or even looks a little old, Wan Tongtong followed behind Menjie and reported softly.

Although Menjie is quite rich at present, and the celebrity film and television company itself already has considerable strength, if it were another company, I am afraid that it would have already chosen to change its headquarters.

However, compared to other companies that plan to 'rent' office buildings, Menjie is currently preparing to buy one directly!

Although he also has several high-end office buildings bought from Jinyang Group, those office buildings are currently being rented, and Menjie plans to move the celebrity film and television company there after a period of time and when he is free.

Of course, before the official move, it is obviously best if you can get some more outstanding results.

"Ready? Unexpectedly, Feng Xiaogang had already prepared for it, just waiting for our investment! ”

After listening to Wan Tongtong's detailed report, Men Jie couldn't help but chuckle, but he wasn't too surprised.

Presumably, Feng Xiaogang had already thought of this problem when he found Menjie.

Although there are a lot of employees in celebrity film and television companies, they are basically the behind-the-scenes staff who shoot TV dramas, although the work teams of TV dramas and movies are not very different, but there are also subtle differences.

For ordinary directors, it can make do, but for Feng Xiaogang, it is obviously impossible to 'make do'.

Naturally, long before contacting Menjie, Feng Xiaogang had already gathered all the teams he originally used to use.

In Feng Xiaogang's mind, even if Menjie rejected him. As long as he has such a team and someone invests, Feng Xiaogang will be able to shoot the movie "Assembly" on his own, which is the confidence of China's top directors!

On the same day, after Menjie and Feng Xiaogang decided that the celebrity film and television company agreed to invest in the movie "Assembly", Feng Xiaogang asked Wan Tongtong out, and the two talked about some details about the movie in detail.

In the end, after some negotiation, the investment paid by Menjie to Feng Xiaogang was also 100 million soft sister coins in historical records. It has been raised to 120 million soft girl coins.

In Menjie's mind, although the original movie "Assembly" was an investment of 100 million soft girl coins, it may not fully bring out the quality of the movie itself, and the ideal number in Feng Xiaogang's heart is actually 120 million soft girl coins.

Maybe......

Give Feng Xiaogang some more money, and in the end, Feng Xiaogang will be able to raise the performance of the movie "Assembly" to a higher level again.

For Menjie anyway. The difference between 100 million and 120 million soft sister coins is not very big, so it should be sold to Feng Xiaogang for a face. Such a refreshing collaboration. Presumably when choosing a partner in the future, he will choose a celebrity film and television company without hesitation again, right?

"Brother Jie, if you really want to say it, the movies "Assembly" and "Casting Names" can all be squeezed into the top three positions in the 2007 Chinese film box office list, which will definitely allow our celebrity film and television companies to directly stand in the Chinese film industry!"

While walking, Wan Tongtong said to Menjie.

"Not to mention being able to catch fire. These two movies, all of which have reached an investment of 120 million soft sister coins, even if they can only recover their costs, are enough for our celebrity film and television companies to gain a foothold in the film industry, and it will definitely not be a problem for future movies to be released easily. There is no need to go through Huaxia Film Group at all! ”

The investment in the movie "Assembly" is indeed 120 million, and the movie "Casting Names" directly saved 80 million because the original starring Li Lianjie was replaced by Menjie, and the investment is also 120 million soft girl coins.

In total, it is a total investment of 240 million soft girl coins, which is quite a huge number for any film company.

If the two films don't get the desired good results, it will definitely be a huge blow to the company itself.

Even in the next three to five years, celebrity film and television companies may not be able to set foot in the film industry again!

It is precisely for this reason that at the very beginning, Wan Tongtong and many senior executives of companies signaled themselves that they hoped to invest in two movies that were not very expensive to test the water!

Even if you invest in two movies that don't cost much, as long as you can reach the level of 'little fame', you can also put the film career of a celebrity film and television company on the right track, and with a little hard work and luck in the future, it will not be a problem to stand firm.

But the greater the risk, the greater the receipt!

Although if it fails, the celebrity film and television company may not be able to set foot in the film industry for a long time, but if it succeeds, or even just recovers the cost, it is enough for the celebrity film and television company to gain a firm foothold!

Even if, as Menjie said, both films can squeeze into the top three positions in the 2007 Chinese film box office list......

Then the celebrity film and television company that has only produced two movies will also become the darling of the Chinese film industry, and has a pivotal position in the film industry, which is no longer as simple as 'standing firm'!

If you work hard in the future, you can become a top company in China!

In the huge Huaxia, I don't know how many small film companies are born and died every year, and countless movies are shot every year, but not all movies can be released smoothly, and more, they are not released at all, and they are placed in a dark corner, and they will never turn over.

Even for some companies with some energy, even if it is released, there are not many theaters that can be released simultaneously, and the time is definitely very remote, and there are not many audiences at all.

If you want to slowly survive from this stage to something like Huaxia Film Group, any movie can be competed for by countless theaters, and even the main movie can be released simultaneously in quite a few theaters, which is definitely a long time.

In order to be able to reach such a level as soon as possible, at least the films after the two films, can obtain such resources without the help of Huaxia Film Group, Menjie has to fight!

Otherwise, if you want to develop the film module of the celebrity film and television company. I don't know when the road will have to wait!

"Don't worry, these two movies will definitely be popular, and we will also establish our own relationship network at that time, and the simultaneous production of movies and TV series will definitely be of great benefit to the development of the company!"

patting Wan Tongtong's shoulder, Menjie said with a chuckle.

"When the time comes, you'll be busy, recruiting talent, and building your own behind-the-scenes team...... All this work has to be entrusted to you, and all I can do is to determine the work and occasionally take charge of the casting! ”

"Recruiting talent is now in charge!"

Glance at the doorman on the side. Wan Tongtong seemed to be saying, 'I haven't seen you do anything', and said with some dissatisfaction, "There are currently three teams for the TV series, and the film team has not been formed, so of course they are actively preparing now." However, there are not many people who come to apply, after all, our celebrity film and television companies do not have any strength in films. Some people have been dug up. is either in the crew of the movie "Casting the Name", or in the crew of the movie "Assembly Number", the number of people is not very large, all of them are added together, and they are barely one-third of the crew, and they want to have the ability to make movies independently. It's going to take a long time! ”

"Of course, if our two movies can become popular, it is estimated that we will be able to pull up a crew soon, just like the 'Korean second group'!"

Shrugged. Wan Tongtong is not very impatient.

After all, everything depends on the grades, just like in Korea!

At the beginning, celebrity film and television companies also did not have a production team for even one TV series.

Even some time ago, by poaching people from Huayi Brothers Entertainment Company, a Chinese group and a Korean group were formed.

Among them, the number of people in the Korean group is about the number of people in a half-crew, but because they don't cooperate very well with each other, so so many people are invested.

The TV series "Nineteen-Year-Old Innocence" officially started filming as early as early December last year, and the cooperation between the 'Korean group' at that time was indeed not very good.

However, with the passage of time, until now, because there are too many episodes, the progress of the TV series has not yet reached halfway, but about five months have passed!

A team basically has one day of intense shooting work every two days, even if it is a stupid person, it has already cultivated a certain tacit understanding, right?

Naturally, there is no need for so many staff!

So just two months ago, Wan Tongtong made a decision directly!

Separate the better and extra half of the staff!

At the same time, in fact, whether in South Korea or China, celebrity film and television companies have been recruiting talents, but because of their lack of fame, there are not many talents recruited.

However, because of the popularity of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden", "The Rumored Seven Princesses" and "Nineteen-year-old Innocence", many people have seen the strength of celebrity film and television companies, and after that, they have also recruited a lot of talents.

got together, but barely reached the number of half of the TV drama crew, and just formed a new team with the separated half of the team.

It was directly named 'Korean Group 2' by Wan Tongtong.

It's not that I don't want to call it 'Huaxia Group II', mainly because in South Korea, Menjie can buy excellent scripts as long as he spends money, but in Huaxia, many excellent scripts have been controlled by major companies, and Menjie has not acquired enough good scripts for a while.

In desperation, I only focused on a few very good Korean scripts in my hand, and formed this Korean second group.

A Korean group is filming the TV series "Nineteen-year-old Innocence", I am afraid that it will take until 2008 to complete the filming work, and there is no need to pay attention to them in a short time, and you can directly carry out other work!

"Recently, in addition to two movies ready to start shooting, the company also has a TV series ready to shoot, and at the same time, there is also a TV series that is preparing to be broadcast!"

Then, Wan Tongtong reported to Menjie in detail about the work of celebrity film and television companies in recent times.

The movie is the movie "Casting the Name" that Men Jie is about to participate in and the movie "Assembly Number" that director Feng Xiaogang is going to direct, so naturally there is no need to say much.

Another TV series that is also preparing to be officially launched is the first task of the 'Korean Second Group' that has been formed.

Preparations have been underway for almost two months. The script Menjie has been obtained a long time ago, and it will officially start filming in South Korea the day after tomorrow.

A TV series called "The Heyday of the Daughter-in-law", with a total of fifty-two episodes, is not difficult to understand from the name, this is a family-themed TV series.

In fact, this TV series Menjie has not watched it in the Tianwang system, after all, for Menjie, although he is very idle every day, he is not idle enough to watch a TV series that has nothing to do with him.

For the TV series produced by the company, as well as the movies that may be produced in the future, Menjie only needs to know what kind of results the work itself can achieve!

The ratings of the TV series "The Heyday of the Daughter-in-law" in South Korea are quite good, but it is very similar to the TV series "Jumong" and "The Rumored Seven Princesses" in that it also spans two years.

2007 vs 2008!

In 2007. Because of the suppression of the TV series "Jumeng" and "Nineteen-year-old Innocence", as well as the suppression of another TV series called "The War of Money", it only won the fourth place in the end.

And in 2008, because there were no previous 'demonic' TV series with extremely terrifying results, the performance of this TV series improved again. Finally, in 2008, he won the second place in the annual ratings list.

Of course. This year, because of Menjie. The TV series "The Rumored Seven Princesses", which was also delayed until this year, may only be able to rank fifth in this TV series called "The Heyday of the Daughter-in-law".

But even the fifth place position is quite an excellent result!

And its impact is even more important than its results!

In the past, the mainstream TV series was still the idol drama of love.

At the same time, according to different countries, different history and culture. There are also a series of TV dramas such as anti-Japanese dramas, costume films, and so on.

However, it is not common in TV series such as family, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and family fighting, and even many people will feel that the male protagonist and heroine are already married, and there is no vigorous love. So what's the point?

Every day I am at home, dealing with some trivial things in life, often because of a little bad things to have conflicts with my parents-in-law, and then crying, making trouble and hanging myself, it's just boring!

Naturally, because of people's concepts, they are not very optimistic about such a type of TV series, and naturally not many people will study it very thoroughly and make such a TV series.

And at this time, a TV series called "The Heyday of the Daughter-in-law" appeared!

The results of this TV series itself can be said to be quite good, although it did not become the 'annual ratings champion', although the actors in the original version of this TV series basically did not become the leaders of the Korean Wave in the future, and they did not become popular, but this is their own topic, and they can't complain about others.

Although there are some regrets, the TV series "The Heyday of Daughter-in-law" directly set off a wave of 'daughter-in-law' craze.

In the future, whether in China or South Korea, this kind of TV series will have a fairly huge market.

Not to mention South Korea, let's talk about China, the well-known TV series such as "The Beautiful Times of the Daughter-in-law" and "Kintaro's Happy Life" have also been affected by this TV series.

It can be seen how great the significance of the TV series "The Heyday of the Daughter-in-law" is!

Even in the future, Menjie plans to let celebrity film and television companies set up a team in China and South Korea to shoot this kind of TV series.

Even actors, Menjie pondered whether he should sign a group of actors who are suitable for this type of role, and strive to create a group of representative figures such as 'national mother-in-law', 'national daughter-in-law', and 'national husband'!

It's like the future Haiqing, isn't she a top Chinese actor with the title of 'national daughter-in-law'?

If you can systematically produce excellent TV series, then celebrity film and television companies are closer to becoming the top existence in Huaxia film and television companies!

Of course, that is something that needs to be considered in the future, for now, it is better for celebrity film and television companies to handle the work in front of them!

"Brother Jie, you said that in this TV series called "The Heyday of the Daughter-in-law", the female number one and female number two are all Chinese actors, and all of them are actresses from our company, isn't it a little bad!"

When it comes to the problem of the TV series "The Heyday of the Daughter-in-law", Wan Tongtong is a little entangled.

"What's wrong with that?"

But Menjie said indifferently, "This is our company's heraldic actors, and they are not very suitable for the male number one and male number two in this TV series, otherwise I plan to arrange the company's actors for even those two roles!" Anyway, whether it is a star in China or South Korea, I will choose the actors of my own company if I can, and I don't need to say anything to others! ”

Shrugging slightly, Menjie whispered unconcernedly.

It turned out that about the female number one and female number two in the TV series "The Heyday of the Daughter-in-law", all the Chinese actors selected by Menjie are Chinese actors, and the most important thing is that all of them are signed actors from celebrity film and television companies-

Li Xiaolu and Wang Luodan! (To be continued......)
