Chapter 411: Signing a Director
In August, Qiuyu wants to enter the film industry.
When the news had not spread, several high-level executives of Datang Entertainment sent Tang Mu a list of some directors recommended by themselves.
These high-level executives sent Tang Mu a list of about a dozen directors.
And these directors were all selected by them through their own different channels, and these people are more willing to sign contracts with their company, basically as long as Tang Mu agrees, these people can sign the contract.
After Tang Mu got the list, he took a look, and there were more than a dozen people, basically not famous, and they couldn't name anything in the film industry.
Of course, their company never thought about signing a big director, after all, the cost of a big director is too high, first of all, their salary is very high, and there is a film share, and then there is, the big director wants to save face, and they don't go to shoot small-cost movies, so they don't follow their company's current requirements and plans.
Among the dozen or so people, one of them has worked with other directors before, and some of them are amazing, and most of the others have just made some short videos, while some of them have graduated from professional schools, and some of them are purely hobbies, they just want to be directors and make films.
Each of them had their works brought, and Tang Mu had to take a look at all these people's works.
After reading it like this, he basically had a general direction in his mind.
Soon, Tang Mu called those high-level officials over and held a meeting.
"I've seen all the works you sent, there are two people's works I like very much, one is Bao An's work "Those Years", the other is Chen Feng's "Conspiracy", these two films, one is about adolescence, and the other is about black comedy, these two films impress me, I want to sign both of them, what do you mean?"
The works on these lists have also been seen by the company's senior management, although these two people are not recommended by most of them, but they also have to admit that the works of these two people have strong personal characteristics and are the best of these works.
"I also like the works of these two people, and it's good to sign them."
"I also agreed to sign with both of them."
"Me ...... too"
The company's senior management did not rely too much on personal emotions, everything was decided by ability and work, and everyone had no opinion on Tang Mu's words.
Tang Mu nodded, and then asked the people from the company to start talking to these two people about signing the contract.
In Tang Mu's opinion, this matter should be easy, after all, these two people used to shoot short videos, and now there are companies willing to sign a contract with them, and let them make big movies, they have no reason to refuse.
What Tang Mu didn't expect was that two days later, the company's senior management sent him a message.
"Mr. Tang, the contract with Bao An has been reached, he is willing to come to our company, but that Chen Feng is unwilling."
Hearing this, Tang Mu was a little strange: "Why is that Chen Feng unwilling?" ”
"After we looked for him, another entertainment company, Phoenix Entertainment, also looked for them, and Phoenix Entertainment offered him a very high price, so Chen Feng went there."
Hearing this, although Tang Mu felt a little disappointed, he didn't feel that this result was unacceptable, people are profit-oriented, so naturally whoever gives the highest price will do it.
Besides, Chen Feng has no personal feelings with them, and they have the right to make such a choice.
"Since Chen Feng refuses to sign a contract with us, then forget it, didn't Bao An sign a contract, let him have time to come to the company, and we will discuss the situation of the movie script."
Now that he has signed the contract, Tang Mu wants to discuss the matter of the movie, as the first director of Datang Entertainment, Tang Mu hopes to give strong support, and it is best to make him an instant hit and make a name for himself in the film industry.
In this way, Datang Entertainment can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in the film industry.
As the first person to sign a contract with Datang Entertainment, Tang Mu also hopes to make him feel that after signing with Datang Entertainment, there is no loss and it is worth it.
The company's senior management naturally understood what Tang Mu meant, and if Datang Entertainment wants to go further in this regard, it is necessary to let everyone see their strength, not only the strength of the director's training, but also the strength of the movie box office.
Only in this way can more artists and directors be attracted to cooperate with them in the future.
The company's senior management quickly contacted Bao An, as a newcomer, Bao An's attitude towards this matter was very positive, and after receiving the call, he did not hesitate and immediately hurried over.
Bao An's attitude made the people in the company very satisfied.
However, they also know that as newcomers, most of them are like this, even if they are particularly talented, there are generally no exceptions.
After Bao An came, he was called into Tang Mu's office.
When Tang Mu saw Bao An for the first time, he was stunned for a moment, because Bao An was very fat, he was a fat man, and if he was fat, it was inevitable that his appearance would not be good, and Bao An would be a little unattractive.
It is hard for Tang Mu to imagine that such a person would make that kind of beautiful youth film.
But this thing doesn't seem to be very difficult to understand, what a person lacks, there will be a desire for something, he may not have experienced that kind of hard and unforgettable youth, so he will especially want this kind of youth.
Thus, a beautiful youth was born in his mind.
In fact, many beautiful arts in the world are produced because of various imaginations, and it is really difficult to achieve beauty in that kind of actual situation.
"Mr. Tang." Bao An is still a little restrained, and when a fat man is restrained, it feels a little funny.
Tang Mu smiled: "Sit down, don't be too nervous, I'm also an artist, just come here as friends in the future, what about you, if you sign a contract with our company, the company will find a way to help you improve your reputation, do you have any movies you want to make?" ”
Tang Mu simply chatted with Bao An, his attitude was very relaxed, Bao An was gradually infected, and the whole person looked a little more relaxed.
"I'm a person who likes youth films very much, and I can say that I'm good at it, if it's other types of movies, I'm afraid I can't control it."
Tang Mu nodded: "There is a specialization in the art industry, this company is very clear, I have a movie script with the theme of youth music here, I don't know if you are interested." ”
"A youth movie about music?"
"Yes, it is to write a story about a woman who practiced musical instruments in order to chase a school grass in school, and then became angry, and later evolved into a story about the dispute between our Chinese musical instruments and Western musical instruments."
After listening to only one point, Bao An's eyes widened: "The story will definitely be very capital, but for music, I'm afraid my ability is limited, if there is a musician in the company who can guide, I think I can do it." ”
Although he liked it, Bao An was not in a hurry to take it, he was well aware of his strengths and weaknesses.
"There's no problem with that."
"What is the name of the movie?"
