Chapter 674: Follow 'Yan Sheng'

As the influence of Mythical Cinemas in Asia grows, the film and television giants that previously resisted Mythic Group's entry into Hollywood have gradually realized that there is no benefit to confrontation, unless they do not want to harvest the Asian box office.

If the movie they shoot wants to be released in theaters in Asian countries, then cooperating with Myth Group is the wisest choice. For these film and television giants, they always put their interests first.

Perhaps because of this, coupled with the earlier 'Black Monday', the revenue of Hollywood's film and television giants has also shrunk significantly. For them, it is also extremely important to open up new box office markets and enhance the influence of Hollywood.

But when talking about cooperation with Mythical Group, Mythical Group also made it clear that if their movie wants to be released in Mythical Theaters, then they also need to show sincerity. This kind of sincerity is naturally to welcome the mythical group to enter Haolaiwu.

Without the obstruction of these film and television giants, the investment of Mythic Group to acquire and merge other small film and television companies in the Stars and Stripes Country and reorganize Legendary Film and Television was carried out smoothly. And those who sold the company seemed to cry without tears.

The reason is very simple, Myth Group approached them earlier to discuss the acquisition, and the price given was very sincere. But they felt that the mythical group was rich, so they offered a very exaggerated price, and in the end, the acquisition was naturally suspended.

Until the outbreak of the financial crisis, the financial situation of these film and television company owners, who were already in a state of financial loss, became worse and worse, and they had to sell their properties to stop the bleeding. But at this time, the price is naturally different.

When the time we contacted Shinhwa Group again to discuss the acquisition, the price would definitely be different. In the words of the acquisition representative, at present, Hollywood's film and television companies are not doing well, and there are too many objects to choose from.

And some of these companies are sold at the price of vomiting blood. If the companies that I approached earlier, if they were going to sell them, the price would be at least halved. If you don't think it's cost-effective, these people can also choose not to sell it!

But in the end, these bosses all chose to vomit blood and sell. So much so that when he saw the final purchase price, Xu Zhengdao also smiled and said: "These guys are cheap, they don't sell them at the market price, but they want to sell them at such a blood-vomiting price!" ”

With less money than the budget, Xu Zhengdao set up a legendary film and television company that is currently involved in television, film and other entertainment investment projects. The employees recruited by the company are all elites after screening, and the company's strength is naturally not weak.

What is really bad for the company now is the work that lays the foundation. In the face of the script given by Xu Zhengdao, there is also a seemingly low-cost test work. The company's management actually seemed a little worried.

Originally, in the eyes of these management, Xu Zhengdao should not be bad for money, so he should make a big-budget movie and announce the company's official entry into Hollywood. Is there really a market for this kind of B-grade production of low-budget comedy?

In the face of the management's incomprehension, Xu Zhengdao also said seriously: "I know that in your opinion, if Legendary Film and Television wants to gain a foothold in Laiwu, it must show our financial resources and ambitions to the outside world. And money, I really don't lack it.

But have you ever wondered if you can guarantee a profitable investment if you make a big-budget movie? Once the investment fails, have you thought about the consequences? For any film and television company, profit is the foundation of survival.

What we have to do now is not to think about how to become famous, but how to survive under the shadow of several major film and television giants. The most important thing is to maximize the benefits by fighting small and big. What do you do with movies that don't make money and don't seek fame? ”

As Xu Zhengdao said his thoughts, the management didn't say anything more. Not to mention anything else, the salary given to them by the company alone is also very generous in the industry. Before, they were worried about the possibility of losing their jobs.

Now that the boss pays them their fair share of salary on time every month, what they have to do is to do what the boss tells them. Moreover, this boss is not a layman, he owns one of the most powerful film and television companies in Asia.

Although there is no shortage of directors who are good at making comedies, this time Xu Zhengdao still found Wang Jing, who is good at shooting such movies, from Xiangjiang. For this weight and appreciation, Wang Jing is naturally grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Compared with another time and space, this director, who is known as good at making ', pee, and fart', is now a well-known commercial film in Xiangjiang. The movies he shot have really created a lot of money for the company.

Although he behaved, he was still a little out of tune. But Xu Zhengdao also knew in his heart that other film and television companies in Xiangjiang had also invited Wang Jingjing to direct movies for them with high salaries, but he still resisted this temptation.

In his own words, as long as he follows 'Yan Sheng', he is not afraid that he will not be able to make money. And so it is!

At the meeting in the country of stars and stripes, seeing the envious eyes of other directors, Wang Jing was naturally excited and moved. But Xu Zhengdao also said in a timely manner: "Okay, the water is not muddy, let Wang Jing give you a sample first!" ”

After coming to the country of stars and stripes to start taking charge of the crew, Wang Jing also felt that the filming here was indeed different from that of Xiangjiang. In the Xiangjiang film crew, it is common to work overtime in order to catch up with the camera. But here, strict shooting times must be enforced.

Secondly, you should also pay attention to your words in the crew, and you should also control the situation of insulting the actors in the crew as much as possible. Because a seemingly careless insult is likely to involve discrimination. In Wang Jing's words, it's fucked up!

Fortunately, Xu Zhengdao equipped him with a very professional production team, and most of the actors invited were unknown. Even if they don't believe Wang Jing, an Asian director, in their hearts, they don't dare to deliberately provoke.

After all, in order to prevent the occurrence of non-work, the production team also has a resident lawyer. For these unknown actors, they also know that offending such a good upstart may end a little miserable.

During the private dinner, Wang Jing also said with emotion: "Yan Sheng, I finally know now why it costs millions to shoot such a low-cost comedy. A lot of money can be saved, but it has to be spent on the set! ”

"With this kind of feeling and experience, it means that you have begun to understand the film and television production of Hollywood. Remember, you're in the learning phase, so you'll have to follow the rules. But when you become famous, that will change, you know? ”

Regarding Xu Zhengdao's suggestion, Wang Jing thought about it and said very seriously: "Yan Sheng, I understand what you mean, I will work hard!" ”

As the most well-known fast gunner among the film directors in Xiangjiang. After entering the Mythical Group, although he has changed, fast is still one of his labels. Fortunately, the quality is still guaranteed.

This time when he came to the Stars and Stripes Country, Wang Jing also hoped to make some fame. If the film he directed can do well at the box office in Hollywood, then he, a well-known director in Hong Kong, can be crowned with the title of 'world-renowned'.

With such a title, whether he makes a company's film or takes on other companies' films in the future, I believe his director's salary will increase a lot. As he himself said, with 'Yan Sheng', are you still afraid that you won't be able to make money?
