Chapter 800 and 12 I never expected it
[Anti-theft chapter, update the correct content in ten minutes]
According to the rhythm of the previous life, online video sites only began to develop in 05 years, while online dramas were born after 4 or 5 years.
Wu Tian has advanced this schedule on a large scale, and Rakuten was born ahead of schedule, advancing the battle for supremacy of video websites by several years. Nowadays, in addition to Tianle.com, several video websites have been launched, including the well-known Tudou, PPS, Youku, Fengxing and other companies.
However, compared to Rakuten, which has a complete development plan, those video rookies are nothing more than full of enthusiasm, which is not enough to shake the ability of Rakuten, which is already quite large.
However, there are a lot of these small websites, which will inevitably have an impact on the development of Rakuten - after all, the market gap is relatively high at this stage, and any new company can find some new customers from the market.
Therefore, nipping the opponent in the bud is undoubtedly the best solution. In order to stifle the opponent, on the one hand, it is necessary to increase the speed of customer development of Rakuten.com, and those small websites to compete for new customer resources, on the other hand, to find a way to poach the opponent's existing customers, so that they have a customer flow, it is enough to limit the development of the other party, once they reach the speed of their customer development can not keep up with the speed of the passing customers, the other party has only a dead end......
"Lao Zhang, please come over this time, there are two projects that need your help." Wu Tian said with a smile.
"Huh? Director Wu wrote two scripts at once? Director Zhang said in surprise.
"Hehe, where am I so powerful?" Wu Tian said with a smile, "At present, there is not even one script, it can only be said that it is two ideas, let's discuss it with you first." Well, let's start with a more urgent one. It's just that our website is going to make a web series, which can be regarded as a super short sketch. At present, my shooting direction is about five minutes per episode, and the actors only use three or two, making some funny jokes, especially ridicule about some social phenomena, and the style tends to be nonsensical. Mainly attract young netizens, what do you think? ”
"Just a few minutes of short films?" Director Zhang smiled bitterly, "Tianshao, you shoot this kind of thing, it's really too big and useless......"
This is obvious, Wu Tian can be regarded as an international director, he has made a big production of hundreds of millions of dollars, and now he turns back and shoots a small short film for a few minutes, which can definitely be said to be a bad job!
"Huh. There is no such thing as overkill, as long as the film is filmed and the audience likes it, it is a success. Wu Tian smiled and said, "I will personally do this drama for the time being, but I'm afraid that sometimes when the time is unlucky, you have to help me shoot a few episodes to meet the scene, and I also need friendship support." I don't charge for wages. ”
"No problem, just take care of the lunch box." Director Zhang patted his chest and said.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** *************
Wu Tian boasted about Haikou in the company. The investment in this film will be very low, so Wu Tianke has no money to hire a big director like Director Zhang, so he can only ask him for friendly support.
Of course, Wu Tian would not let Director Zhang support in vain, and he had to help him find it from elsewhere.
"Lao Zhang, about the return of cultural relics. Do you have an understanding? Wu Tian asked.
"Well, I've heard about it." Director Zhang's face was straight, knowing that Wu Tian had started to talk about today's business, and said, "In the past two days, the domestic economy has developed rapidly. There are more wealthy people, many rich people are keen on antiques, and I heard that some people deliberately went to foreign auction houses to buy back some cultural relics that passed out in the early years, which is a very positive thing......
"It's a good thing, though." Wu Tian said, "I'm thinking about using aspects as the content of material selection to make a film about cultural relics." ”
"This topic is a good ......," Zhang Dao said.
"Well, I have a preliminary synopsis of the story, you can ......listen to it first," Wu Tian said, "that is, the protagonist is a cultural relics thief, highly skilled, just like the masters of Hollywood thieves, who can steal treasures from the most heavily secured places." He is hired to find the once-missing Yuanming. Four of the twelve animal heads in the garden. In the process of finding the beast head, he got to know some people related to the protection of cultural relics, including the heroine, they took risks together, and finally found the beast head, but the protagonist, who has always been greedy for money, was influenced by the heroine, gave up money, and returned the cultural relics to the motherland......"
Wu Tian admitted that there is no problem with Brother Long's original script in general, and it can't be said how good it is, at least it is decent, and it can be regarded as an upper-middle level. It's just that in terms of the specific storyline processing, Brother Long's level is a little worse, and there are some suspicions of paying too much attention to the fight scenes, and imitating the visual style of Hollywood movies too much, resulting in a lot of ambiguity and confusion in the rhythm of the story.
Wu Tian told Director Zhang the synopsis of the story, and put forward some suggestions on shooting techniques, especially not to deliberately imitate the Hollywood style in order to package the movie high, deliberately choose the filming location, etc., and not forget the most basic element of the movie, that is, to tell the story satisfactorily, clearly and fluently, more important than any special effects......
"Lao Zhang, you go back and make a good total, and improve the book." Wu Tian said, "It's done, not to mention going to Hollywood, at least there should be hope for a best director at the three major European film festivals......"
"Director Wu still looks at the three major European film festivals?" Director Zhang said with a smile.
"Even if it's an Oscar, I don't care, but it has nothing to do with me, you're a director, don't say you're not interested?" Wu Tian smiled.
Director Zhang was suddenly excited and said, "Director Wu." You don't make this film? How's that going? ”
"What's not to do? I believe in your strength. Wu Tian smiled, "As for the shooting cost, it's good to tentatively set 200 million for now, and then I will add it to you!" ”
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ********************************************************************
Wu Tian remembers that the filming cost of "Zodiac" in the previous life seems to have reached about 300 million, and the final box office should be eight or nine hundred million, which is considered to be profitable anyway.
However, the "Zodiac" of the previous life was a film of one or two years. At that time, prices were much higher than now, and today's 200 million is definitely a huge investment - so far, there are only a handful of films with domestic investment of more than 100 million!
Therefore, Wu Tian's courage is definitely big enough, after all, Director Zhang is not a big-name director like Lao Mouzi, Gangzi, and Kaizi, and hundreds of millions of investments are handed over to Lao Zhang at every turn, which is definitely quite a huge trust.
Director Zhang was overjoyed by this promise, but Wu Tian himself was a little envious, jealous and hateful - the online series he was preparing to shoot by himself was currently planned to invest only 20,000 yuan!
The 20,000 yuan includes personnel salaries and equipment funds. post-production, etc., and shoot at least three pilot episodes!
It's a joke of the rhythm......
Well, Wu Tian is not short of money, but Wu Tian does not plan to increase funds, let alone spend his own private money, public and private must be clear, only in this way can an example be erected for this model. Even if he doesn't shoot this film anymore in the future, the successor will have to go according to the budget. Don't lose the company.
"Alas, it seems that if you want not to exceed the standard, everything has to be according to the cheapest standard......" Wu Tian said to Hao Yu with a wry smile, "Well, the equipment will borrow the company's digital DV first, and don't burn film." The cost is much lower. The key is the actor, I guess I can only go to the film school to find ......"
"Tianshao, do you want me to inform Tianying and prepare to fly back to Beijing?" Hao Yu immediately asked.
"Don't!" Wu Tian hurriedly said, "Don't forget." Let's only 20,000 yuan, which is not enough fuel money for a special plane to fly to the capital! ”
Hao Yuba smacked his lips, it seemed that he had followed Tianshao for so many years, this was the first time he had seen Tianshao struggling for money......
"Well, to save the cost of carriage and horses, the actor has to solve it on the spot...... By the way, why go to the film and television academy, can't you just recruit within our company? Wu Tian suddenly slapped his thigh with a flash of inspiration and said, "That's it, let Lele make an announcement immediately, and let interested employees come to me for interview and selection!" ”
Rakuten is a video website, and there is absolutely no shortage of people who are keen on film and television among the company's employees, and naturally there is no shortage of people who are interested in acting. At that time, their normal salaries will be taken correctly, and they will also be given some on-camera subsidies or something, and the problem will be solved without spending a few dollars.
The more Wu Tian thought about it, the more cost-effective it became, and immediately called Chang Le and asked her to inform her that all employees who were interested in being actors could go to Wu Tian after work......
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** *************
"What kind of person are you looking for?"
Chang Le looked at Wu Tian's interviewers one after another, and asked helplessly.
"Well, what I'm looking for is a young man who looks ordinary, preferably with a bit of a natural appearance, to make people look at it, and feel like a little person at the bottom of society......" Wu Tian said, "But our company is all elites, who interviewed at the beginning?" It's not a handsome guy or a beauty, and they all have a shrewd and capable posture, it's too cookie-cutter......"
"And the boss dislikes his employees too well?" Chang Le sneered.
Wu Tian smacked his lips, the starting point was different, and sure enough, the perception was very different.
"Hey, this one is kind of interesting......"
As he spoke, another boy walked into the room, and as soon as he entered the door, Wu Tian's eyes lit up - this thing is really too good-looking......
"Stop, what's your name!" Wu Tian suddenly shouted loudly.
"Uh......" The one was stunned for a few seconds before he whispered, "I, my name is Bai Liang......"
"Have you ever studied acting?" Wu Tian asked again.
"No, no......" The expression was tangled, as if he was a little stunned, and he was a little scared.
"Want to act?" Wu Tian asked.
"Acting? No, I don't want to ......," said the stunned man.
"Yes...... Don't want to? This time it was Wu Tian's turn to be stunned, he wanted to ask him how much he wanted to act, but he didn't want the answer given by others was that he didn't want to act, which was beyond Wu Tian's expectations......
"And what are you doing here?" Wu Tiandao.
"I'm here to deliver water...... Bai Liang said.
"Uh......" Wu Tian reacted at this time, the one who looked at the water dispenser first after entering the door, should have determined whether the water dispenser needed to be replaced......
However, Wu Tian took a fancy to this little brother who delivered water at a glance, who made him look too similar to the famous Wang Dazhui in later generations, especially that natural embarrassing face, which does not need any acting skills at all, it is enough to make the audience laugh!
"Bai Liang, right, don't be busy changing the water first," Wu Tian stood up from behind the table with a smile, walked towards Bai Liang, and said, "I have a good suggestion, do you want to think about it?" ”
"What advice?" Bai Liang put on that embarrassed face expressionlessly and said.
"Don't change the water in the future, how about changing jobs?" Wu Tian said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
