Chapter 373: Talking about cooperation with Qin Ying
Seeing the people sitting in the reception room, Xu Zhengdao, who had sent Zhou Huimin back, recognized the familiar face at a glance. It's just a familiar face at the moment, but standing behind other people, it looks somewhat inconspicuous.
After He Xiaowu's introduction, Xu Zhengdao was also very enthusiastic and shook hands with everyone to apologize and say hello. This enthusiastic attitude also made the group of Qin Film Studio feel a little more steady, and they felt that this matter should be discussed.
After everyone sat down again, Director Lin also directly explained his intentions. After listening, Xu Zhengdao also said directly: "Director Lin, I don't doubt the strength of your factory. But we are also considering a remake of this work into a movie.
At present, domestic co-production, especially our company's co-production with domestic film studios, must be happy to see it. If you just buy the copyright, then all I can say is sorry that the copyright we bought will not be sold. ”
"Manager Lin, what about cooperation? If you want to cooperate, what are your conditions? This movie, presumably Manager Lin also knows that it must be filmed in the mainland in order to make it have the flavor it deserves. Manager Lin doesn't deny this, right? ”
"Definitely! But Director Lin should also know that if our company wants to find a co-producer in China, it shouldn't be difficult, right? ”
After a short verbal exchange, Director Lin finally smiled bitterly: "This is the truth!" Manager Lin might as well say, if it is co-produced with your company, what can you provide? What should we do in our film studio? ”
"The first is the film rights, which must belong to our company, regardless of the outcome. However, your factory can be used as a distributor to participate in the subsequent box office and even copyright sharing. But when the crew is being prepared, we must have more right to speak.
Of course, Director Lin traveled thousands of miles to Kyoto to negotiate on this matter, and he must have found a director, and even the script may be adapted. Then you can also recommend the director and the actors, and then we will discuss it together.
Please also believe that our company will attach great importance to every work produced. Since we choose to cooperate with your factory, then we will also fully consider your situation, which can also ensure the follow-up box office revenue.
Although it is a literary film, it is a bit difficult to make money at present. But Director Lin should know that we have a good cooperative relationship with Asian and even some international film companies. If you want to talk about the sale of films, we are the experts, you don't deny this, right? ”
"Definitely! Although I have been in China, I have heard about your company in the Hong Kong and Asian markets. So be it! This is Xiao Zhang, an excellent photographer of our Qin Film Studio, and this movie is also what he wants to shoot. ”
"I have heard of Mr. Zhang's photographs before. Two years ago, you made a war movie. And with that movie, Mr. Zhang won the Outstanding Cinematographer Award. The script, is there? ”
"Yes! Manager Lin, this is my adapted script, please take a look. ”
"Thank you!"
Xu Zhengdao, who took over the script, also read it carefully, and after reading it, he asked: "Mr. Zhang, if I'm not mistaken, you should have graduated from the Beijing Film Photography Department, right?" So as a director, do you have confidence? ”
"Yes!"
Very confident answer! But as the head of the company in the mainland, I can't easily hand over the work to a fledgling new director. But I know that a good cinematographer is also a good director.
If you want to be the director of this film, then I need you to draw the storyboards. Not too much, but at least let me see that you have what it takes to direct. After all, it's responsible for you, and it's responsible for your work. ”
"Yes! Give me a week, no, three days, and I'll make sure to draw the storyboard. ”
"Okay! Then give you a week! In fact, I came back on this trip, and I was also entrusted by the company, hoping to have more cooperation with domestic film studios and practitioners.
In addition, our office will also sign some mainland actors. In addition to letting them take over the filming, it is not excluded that they will be invited to participate in the company's film or film shooting in future films or TV co-productions with mainland film studios. ”
Hearing that Kirin Film and Television was going to start signing actors in the mainland, Director Lin and others finally felt the pressure. Fortunately, for the current status quo of films, they actually hope to improve.
After all, film studios make money by making movies, and many film studios are basically making one movie at a time. If you can't make money, how to ensure the welfare of the film factory and pay wages to the employees in the factory?
Because of this, when the ministry sent people to visit various places to investigate, many film studios hoped that there would be some reform in film distribution. In addition, it is also hoped that the ticket price of the movie can be increased on the existing basis.
Although making movies is more about enriching the amateur cultural life of the people. But where does the film studio's funds come from? Asked the above for funds, where did the above find so much money?
Only by self-reliance can we make more works that the masses like to see, which not only makes the audience happy to watch, but also allows the film studio not to make one film and lose one. The movies made can make money, and the factory naturally doesn't need to ask for funding and support!
After an hour or so of talks, the two sides reached a preliminary verbal agreement. After that, Xu Zhengdao also drove directly to the Huaju Film and Television Academy and held talks with the school leaders.
Knowing that Xu Zhengdao wanted to sign an actor from the school, and even did not rule out inviting them to film in Xiangjiang in the future, the school leaders also happily agreed. The reason why they were so happy was that they received the call from above before.
Although the current college students are not worried about finding a good job in China. However, students in film and television schools, especially those in the acting department, can basically only be assigned to film studios or television stations.
But there are still very few students who can really act. If the current domestic film and television schools can also produce some actors who have a certain reputation in the world or Asia, it can also increase the fame of the college.
As the director of the acting department, he directly handed over the files of outstanding actors that some school leaders considered to be excellent to Xu Zhengdao. Looking at the outstanding student files provided by the academy, many of them know Xu Zhengdao, and they are also actors who will be active in the entertainment industry in the future.
But to the surprise of the leaders of the college, Xu Zhengdao seemed to be extremely provocative about the documents provided by the college. After a few glances at a lot of stalls, he directly put them aside, and the few stalls that were really retained were pitiful.
Until the end, Xu Zhengdao also said in a timely manner: "Leaders, I think these students are good. If I could, I would like them to come to the office tomorrow or sometime else and sit down for a while, and I would have another interview with them. ”
"Absolutely! It's just that some of these people have already entered the unit, so it's not good to sign a contract again, right? ”
"It's not a big problem! Sign a contract with our company, and more often sign an artist contract. If there is a conflict with their unit, we can also ask for their personal and unit opinions, and try to live up to the talent! ”
Seeing that Xu Zhengdao even took this into account, the leaders of the college naturally had no opinions. What they have to do is to arrange for someone to notify these students and let them go to the office to talk to Xu Zhengdao. Being able to sign a contract is also good for their development!
