Chapter 474, the new film project "The Richest Man in Xihong City"

After the Chinese New Year, time is like riding a high-speed train.

In a blink of an eye, it's June.

In the past May, Lin Feng has done two things, the first thing is to form a team of agents of Galaxy Entertainment.

Galaxy Entertainment has grown now, and it is not one of the top brokerage companies in the industry, but it is also well-known to everyone in the circle, especially Wang Yangsheng, Yang Zhenzhen, and the Seine River 48 combination are all from this company, and the diva Du Wenqing is also from this company.

Galaxy Entertainment has gradually gained a lot of fame in the circle.

Lin Feng plans to expand the group of artists of Galaxy Entertainment, and he now has a lot of resources on hand that he can't digest.

For example, the upcoming online drama "Unnatural Death", it would be a pity if only the heroine was her own company, and a popular drama would definitely be popular with many artists.

Many artists have participated in popular dramas, even if they are not popular, they can rely on a drama to brush up their presence in front of the audience, laying the foundation for future drama and development.

For example, a certain female star who plays the golden lock of returning the pearl is not considered a starring level in the return of the pearl, but she is just a maid, but even if she is a supporting role, she has become a household name, and she gradually gained more film and television drama resources in the later stage, and became the "Fan Ye" in the circle.

Therefore, Lin Feng must expand the group of artists under his hands, and now his resources are enough to support an entertainment company.

To expand the group of artists, there must always be an agent responsible for bringing these artists, Lin Feng has too many things to deal with, and at present, he has enough artists on hand, and he does not plan to increase his brokerage business for the time being.

Therefore, recruiting a group of new brokers is to prepare for the second expansion of the company's business in the future.

So Lin Feng asked the company's personnel department to post a recruitment notice on the relevant talent website and the official website.

The conditions for his recruitment are low.

As long as you are between 22 and 40 years old, at least have a high school degree or above, and have good communication skills, you can apply.

In Lin Feng's view, the job of an agent does not require too high a degree of education, a doctor is about the same as a high school student, and the most important thing is whether he can be good in this aspect of life.

The agent has to deal with a lot of details of the artist's work, which is mainly communication.

Wan Xiaoxia of Xingli Media is not highly educated, and a working girl climbed to the position of the company's director, which is a good example.

If the bar is set too high, it will cause some talent to drain.

As for the uneven quality of the applicants, Lin Feng also thought about it and used the written test to conduct a preliminary screening.

The content of the written test is all very practical test questions and answers, and there are no standard answers, such as how to deal with some emergencies, and how to get along with artists.

Because Galaxy Entertainment is a relatively well-known company in the industry, Lin Feng's conditions are very generous, so not long after the recruitment notice was posted, many people came to sign up, including many agents who wanted to jump ship to Galaxy Entertainment in the industry.

After the preliminary selection of the written examination, the personnel department left 20 interviewers, and these 20 interviewers were personally checked and interviewed by Lin Feng.

Of the twenty interviewers, eight were left in the end.

There are two agents who have jumped ship from other entertainment companies.

Lin Feng didn't investigate the reason for changing jobs, whether he had a grudge with his boss or offended people, he still disliked the lack of treatment in the previous company, and the development space was too small and he wanted to change the environment.

It's not Lin Feng's concern.

In this era of openness, employees and companies are only in an employment relationship, and it is normal to change jobs.

As for whether there will be female workers placed by other companies, this is not important, because when you open your door to do business, you must always be psychologically prepared to deal with various emergencies.

Therefore, after these two agents passed the written test and interview, Lin Feng let them stay.

The other six have never worked in the entertainment industry, and two of them are even recent college graduates.

In the series of written test questions set by Lin Feng, there were several unexpected situations, and these six people dealt with them very well.

During the interview, talking to Lin Feng, Lin Feng could also see that although he had not done this business, he was also a material that could be made, so he left them behind.

These eight people will first enter a probationary period, during which they will follow up on the basic work of some artists, and Lin Feng will also find time to take some basic lessons with them.

In fact, it is not difficult to be a broker, you don't need a high degree of education, and you don't need to

At the same time, the company's artists have also begun to be recruited.

In addition to the artists of the brokerage companies in the entertainment industry, in addition to their own training, a considerable number of them come from other brokerage companies.

It is not uncommon for artists in the entertainment industry to change their courts, some are mutual digging between brokerage companies, and some artists want better development and find a new company to buy out the contract.

There are also a small number of amateurs who have just entered the circle and do not have a brokerage company, and there will be brokerage companies that take the initiative to contact these amateurs and sign contracts.

Signing their own artists is also one of the jobs of these eight agents.

During the three-month probationary period, Lin Feng will pay close attention to the dynamics of these eight brokers, and if the probationary period is not passed, then they can only be eliminated.

It took Lin Feng half a month to set up the agent team of Galaxy Entertainment.

As for the second thing, that is, he took out half of the equity of Xishi.com on hand and mortgaged it, and borrowed a sum of money from the bank.

Now the share price of Xishi has five yuan per share, and when Lin Feng took over Xishi before, the stock price was only more than eight cents, and now it has risen almost seven times.

The part of the shares that Lin Feng got from Zhen Mingguang has also increased several times.

When Zhen Mingguang made an ocean call to chat with Lin Feng, he also said that he underestimated Lin Feng at the beginning, and if he knew that he was so capable, he would definitely not transfer the equity at such a low price.

Of course, all this is a joke.

Zhen Mingguang is a smart person, and he must understand that all this is the result of Lin Feng's efforts.

Because, not everyone has the ability to save the endgame.

When Lin Feng made the transaction at the beginning, it was also a big gamble.

Lin Feng mortgaged half of the equity in his hand, of course, the bank could not give you the mortgage price according to the price of the stock market, and after the bank's calculation, he gave Lin Feng a mortgage price of two yuan per share.

A total of 400 million funds were given to Lin Feng.

With these 400 million funds, Lin Feng first took out 200 million to repay part of the debt at hand.

Although the 200 million yuan is not much compared to the huge debt, the creditors who got the repayment are very happy, especially Mr. Mo of Rongzhen Cultural Creativity, and personally called Lin Feng to express his gratitude.

Lin Feng understood the feelings of these creditors very well, a large amount of money could not be recovered in the hands of others, and no one would be in a hurry.

So even if the creditors no longer urge Lin Feng, Lin Feng will pay it back as soon as he gets the money.

The remaining 200 million, Lin Feng kept and prepared to invest in film and television dramas.

Lin Feng has been spending a lot of money recently.

It cost 50 million to buy six Xianxia dramas, and the project "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has to invest 50 million, and the project "Unnatural Death" also has to prepare 50 million.

It is also necessary to set aside some funds for the possible increase in the budget in the future.

If the director can't say what he is filming, maybe the budget will not be enough to shoot and the budget will have to be increased.

Lin Feng once considered whether to find other companies for cooperative financing, but finally decided to shoot with his own company.

First, Lin Feng remembered that Jing Zhilong had cheated him before, this kind of good thing must not be cheap for this bastard.

The second is that he is a sole proprietorship to shoot, so he doesn't have to deal with such complicated relationships between all parties, and he doesn't have much investment in tens of millions of films.

I've seen TV series with an investment of two or three hundred million, and the more than 50 million is really not much.

Financing this part of the money, the remaining 200 million, went to 100 million.

In the end, there is still 100 million left, and Lin Feng is of great use.

On this day, he waited for someone in the office.

There was a knock on the door outside the office

Lin Feng looked up and saw Wang Mufan standing outside.

He smiled and said, "Mu Fan is back? Come in."

Wang Mufan walked into Lin Feng's office, sat on the sofa very consciously, and asked expressionlessly, "Mr. Lin, are you looking for me?"

Wang Mufan has a strange temper, even if he sees the boss, he won't smile, and he keeps his signature "dead face" throughout the whole process.

"Dead face" is Su Lisha's private evaluation of Wang Mufan.

Although she is not very proficient in human affairs, when it comes to filming, Su Lisha still quite admits that Wang Mufan is a high-level director.

Lin Feng's attitude towards Wang Mufan is quite tolerant.

He walked over to the couch, sat down, took out the tea set and began to make tea.

Wang Mufan said directly: "No need to make tea, I'm not used to drinking it."

Lin Feng took the tea jar and shook it for a moment, a little embarrassed, and smiled, "I'll make some myself to drink."

While making tea, he asked, "Have you come home to see your mother after work recently?"

"I went back to live for two days, but I couldn't stand her nagging in my ear, so I asked me to find a daughter-in-law to come back, and I ran back." Wang Mufan spread out his hands and sat on the sofa with a big grin.

Lin Feng smiled, "Old man, it's normal to have this thought."

"Mr. Lin, just say anything directly, I want to go back to sleep early."

Lin Feng, uh.....

Let the boss have something to say in person, and Wang Mufan, who went back to sleep in a hurry, is no wonder he is not good in the circle.

Since this is the case, Lin Feng simply got straight to the point.

"That's right, I watched your filming of "The Promotion of the Crown Princess" and thought it was very good, much better than I expected."

Hearing this, Wang Mufan smiled proudly.

Filming has always been his pride.

Lin Feng continued, "So now I have a script and plan to make it into a movie, I don't know if you can make it well."

When he heard that Lin Feng was going to make a movie, Wang Mufan's smile just retracted.

He thought about it for a moment before he said very cautiously, "Can you show me the script?"

Lin Feng stood up, walked to his desk, took a copy of the script, and handed it to Wang Mufan.

Wang Mufan took the script and glanced at the title of the script first.

The richest man in Xihong City.

The name has some meaning.

Wang Mufan began to read the script of "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

Lin Feng was drinking tea next to him.

At the beginning of the establishment of Galaxy Media, it made a movie "Spring Brightness" and won the award.

Then the film project stopped.

The main reason is that film projects are too expensive, whether it is the cost of shooting or the cost of publicity, it is not something that ordinary companies can afford.

Moreover, Lin Feng did not have good people on hand to do this at that time.

No one, no money, no resources, Lin Feng put the movie on hold for the time being.

Now Galaxy Media has two more studios under its hands, namely Du Heng's studio and Wang Mufan's studio.

After Wang Mufan's "The Promotion of the Crown Princess" shined, Lin Feng ignited the idea of making movies, especially comedy movies.

The most profitable product in the entertainment industry is movies.

released an album, an album was made into a god specialty, and it was sold on the market, and it would make tens of millions and billions of dollars if it was killed.

But making a movie, it is possible to make billions of dollars in one movie.

The box office of Wolf Warrior 2 is 5.6 billion, and Li Huanying's box office is 5.4 billion, Lin Feng still remembers it clearly.

Although this country has not broken 5 billion movies, the highest box office record also has a box office of 3.7 billion, like more than 100 billion 2 billion box office films every year.

After inspecting the market, Lin Feng strengthened his belief in making a movie.

The first drama, Lin Feng thought about it

After thinking about it, I finally decided to make a comedy that was easier for the audience to accept.

Among the many scripts, he picked the script of "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

The theme of this film is novel, it is a brain-hole movie, it is about a dick player, Wang Duoyu accidentally obtained a huge amount of property inheritance, and if he wants to inherit the property, he has to pass a test, which is that he must spend one billion in a month.

Lin Feng's choice of this film is first of all not very difficult to shoot, an urban drama, there are no big scenes, no special effects, and no need for costume dramas and war dramas.

From the perspective of investment, it is not too big, if you don't use big-name actors, tens of millions of dollars should be able to be filmed.

Another 30 million to 50 million will be set aside for publicity and distribution.

In this way, filming and publicity will be able to complete the whole film for about 100 million.

Regarding the box office of the movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City", Lin Feng is still quite confident, and this drama won a box office of 2.4 billion after it was released in the cinema.

Lin Feng's remake this time, not to mention winning the box office of 2.4 billion, how can he win the box office of 400 million.

As for which director to shoot, Lin Feng had considered finding an outside director before.

But after watching Wang Mufan's "The Promotion of the Crown Princess", Lin Feng decided to give this opportunity to Wang Mufan.

Wang Mufan, the director, is capable and talented, and after he established the studio, he signed a binding contract with Galaxy Media Company and became a studio under Galaxy Media Company, which is equivalent to a subsidiary.

In this way, Wang Mufan is his own person.

Such a good script, of course, the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders.

Although Wang Mufan has never made a movie, he is a newcomer in the film industry.

It was quite risky to give this script to a rookie director.

But Lin Feng was not afraid of taking risks.

Because cultivating Wang Mufan is also conducive to other follow-up film shooting plans.

He attaches great importance to the development of the film business in the future.

filming TV series, filming online dramas, and releasing a few albums are all petty fights in Lin Feng's opinion

can win the right to speak in the film industry, and can be regarded as a real giant in the film and television industry.
