While everyone wants to be fair, many times there is so much fairness to speak of. As a boss, Xu Zhengdao felt that he could only be as fair as possible. The same is true for the crews of film and television companies.

I invited the "Mr. Zombie" crew to a big dinner last time, and now when I come to the "Rich and Powerful" crew, I will inevitably invite the cast and crew to dinner. Hearing the news, the behind-the-scenes staff who had eaten a big meal last time were naturally full of joy.

It was still an hour early to finish work, and when everyone arrived at the scheduled seafood restaurant, Xu Zhengdao, as the inviter, still arrived on time at six o'clock. After getting out of the car, he still let the bodyguard sit alone, while he sat with the director and the actors.

is different from the previous time when he invited the actors to dinner, this time it was Zhang Yuan and Qiu Shuzhen who sat next to him. Even if in the crew, Shen Dianxia and Dong Dart are of higher seniority, but at this time, they will not compete for positions with two young and beautiful girls.

After taking a seat, it was still a glass to everyone in the crew first, and then the banquet was officially announced. Seeing the seafood and dishes served on the table one after another, many staff members knew that the price of this table was not cheap.

"Don't be stunned, let's eat it! If you like to drink, you can drink it, but remember not to get drunk."

"Didn't the boss say you could drink freely?"

"Polite words, don't you understand? If you really want to get drunk and vomit, the boss may not say anything, but are you willing to be embarrassed?"

As soon as these words came out, those drunkards who still wanted to let go of their bellies and drink freely tonight instantly realized that on this occasion, they really had to get drunk in front of their bosses and crew colleagues, so when they went to the crew tomorrow, I am afraid they would also feel embarrassed!

In the face of the toast of Wang Jing and others, Xu Zhengdao did not refuse. Unlike Zhang Manyu, who poured wine before, he seemed very honest, but Qiu Shuzhen, who poured wine for him, obviously poured less and less, as if he was afraid that the boss would get drunk.

Fortunately, everyone didn't mind, and Xu Zhengdao was more or less a cup of dry. Such a bold wine still made Dong Dart and the others admire: "Yan Sheng, I really can't imagine that you have such a good amount of wine?"

"It's okay! This is one of my few strengths. Compared with an old Jianghu like you, Uncle Dart, it's still bad!"

"I really can't afford that. If I were to drink like this with you, I would have fallen down a long time ago."

"It's okay! Although you should drink to the fullest, you must also know how to stop in moderation. Drink with me, I never persuade people to drink. Don't think it's rude not to toast me. I didn't let them drink either!"

"Indeed! It's not good to let minors drink after all."

The fat sister sitting next to her also interjected at the right time. And the two girls who drank juice did not understand until this moment why the boss did not let them drink. In the final analysis, it's because they're too young!

But in fact, in addition to being a little younger, their height and figure are probably incomparable to many adult girls. Even so, Xu Zhengdao insisted that they should be forbidden to drink alcohol on the grounds that they were underage.

Taking the opportunity to chat, Xu Zhengdao also said in a timely manner: "Sister Fat, Uncle Dart, this movie starring you will be released around the Spring Festival. As far as the current situation is concerned, I believe that the box office performance should be good.

This film is also one of the company's three series, and it was shot as a Chinese New Year film. I hope that the next time I invite you to perform, you will be able to do the same. In terms of salary, I will definitely not treat the two of them badly."

"Yan Sheng, you're polite, there is filming, it's too late for us to be happy!"

After the two leading actors finished speaking, Wang Jing also said curiously: "Yan Sheng, what are your expectations for the box office of this movie?"

"You're a director, how much do you think you can sell at the box office?"

"If the publicity is in place, 10 million shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

"Ten million, it seems that you are quite easily satisfied. My expectation for this movie is to hit the box office of 20 million. That's why, I will deliberately explain that you don't have to rush and make the movie a masterpiece.

As I said before, if you are asked to make literary films, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to be competent. can allow you to make commercial films, and there are probably few young directors in Xiangjiang who can beat you. On top of that, you'll also be able to write scripts.

In the follow-up, if you have a good script, you can also hand it over

Firm. In addition to the script fee, you can also enjoy the revenue sharing between the director and the screenwriter. All in all, if you want to make more money, then show off your talents."

"Thank you, Yan Sheng! In the future, I hope Yan Sheng will help me more."

"Since you have joined the company, then I will treat you and Lin Yuanying equally, and even the directors recruited in the future. And unlike other bosses, I allowed the director of the company to lose three films.

Of course, if the successive films make the company suffer losses, it can only mean that the director is not qualified for the director's position. I can allow you to make mistakes, but I don't allow you to make mistakes again and again."

"And rightfully so! Compared to other companies, it is very benevolent to be swept away after making a movie at a loss."

"I've always thought that even though I'm the boss of the company, I pay you a salary and even pay you to make a movie. But I also do this in the hope that you can help me make money. There's no boss in this world who doesn't want to make money, right?"

"That's for sure!"

"But I hope that while I will benefit, you will also benefit from it. Ordinary employees are good, and their artists are good, even if you directors are the same. After all, I want a market that's not just limited to Hong Kong, you know?"

"Does Yan Sheng want to promote the movie to other places?"

"That's for sure! The Hong Kong market is extremely limited, even if you make a movie with a box office of 30 million, how much will it cost to make a film? Only by opening up the foreign market, can we maximize the benefits of the films we make.

Mr. Zombie, which was released by the company before, although it won 20 million box office in Xiangjiang. But you must not know the results of this film in the foreign market, right? Wang Jing, how much box office do you think this film can have in Treasure Island?"

Faced with the inquiry, Wang Jing thought for a while and said, "There should be 30 million, right?"

As a result, Xu Zhengdao shook his head and said, "The current box office has exceeded 40 million, and it should be expected to reach 50 million."

"Wow, such a high box office?"

"Is it high? The two Hollywood blockbusters released on Treasure Island earlier, one of which reached nearly 70 million at the box office. It can be seen that the foreign market has great potential, but in order to achieve a high box office, the quality of the film must be guaranteed."

At this stage, even Xu Zhengdao didn't dare to say that he wanted to catch up with such empty words as Haolaiwu. It is a wise choice to first firmly establish the Asian foreign market, and then find a way to extend the role to Hollywood.

The foundation is unstable, and you still think of other people's territory to expand your territory, isn't it pure bragging?

Knowing that Mr. Zombie photographed by Lin Yuanying was so popular in the foreign market, Wang Jing must have been very moved. According to the contract signed before joining, he also knows that the income from the foreign market can also be enjoyed by the director.

Even if the share is not much, but the box office income in other cities is tens of millions, and as a director, you can also share a lot. makes a few more movies a year, and the income of that year is afraid that it is enough for him to sit on millions of assets.

Don't think that the income of one million is small, how many directors in Xiangjiang can really earn one million a year?
