Don't exaggerate too much, but the difficulty should be properly expressed in words, and the "difficulty" should be "manually" increased to yourself, so that the leader clearly understands the difficulty of this matter, and then do this thing well, and the leader will pay more attention to you!

"Don't worry, as long as your project is approved this time, the city will set up a temporary team to support your side, what is lacking in the city's support, you only have to worry about bold artistic creation, and you don't have to worry about anything else!"

"Hey... OK, thank you for your support. ”

"Haha, if the city doesn't support you, who else can it support? Now that we don't talk about other issues, what are your specific plans? What do you need to prepare for in advance? You give me a thorough explanation. ”

This is the necessity of talking in private, this time the leader came to talk to Zheng Xu alone, which can be regarded as directly crossing the city, compared to talking about things directly in the meeting, it is much more flexible, some words, it is also convenient to say them in private, and it can also leave a room for relaxation for both parties, not everyone understands the professional things in film and television production.

As Zheng Xu mentioned earlier, the actors in their company just can't act in dramas with rural themes, how can this issue be discussed at the meeting?

Other leaders who don't know the inside story, will they think that Zheng Xu is shirking? When the time comes, everyone will have a misunderstanding, and it will not be good for anyone.

Like now, the leader talks directly to Zheng Xu, if there is any trouble or difficulty, talk about it directly, discuss a general framework, and then take the remaining problems to the meeting and everyone works together, which is the best way.

Zheng Xu thought about it, the leader did such a good job, he also had to come up with something to repay, everyone had to come and go.

What is the most important thing to make a film, especially a commercial film, if nothing else?

Scripts, actors, directors, producers, investors.

These are the five most important points, and the rest is easy to do, and it can be solved with money, such as the crew, which can recruit people externally, which is also the traditional routine and process of film and television production companies outside.

For Flashing Media, the first four items are not a problem, they can solve it internally, even if it is an investment, they can also swallow it by themselves, but this is too unique, when there was no financial resources before, Zheng Xu would not do this, even if he has the financial resources now, he can't do it either, no matter how much money is invested, it is taboo to come out and mix and eat alone!

Like the plan proposed by the current leaders, the city wants to be famous, wants to actively respond to the above policies, and wants to participate in the development of a movie, which aspect should this be embodied in?

The city will not engage in things related to film and television dramas, in addition to the overall plan, the most reflective place is investment!

But no matter what Zheng Xu's previous record is, it is his first time making a commercial film now, even if everyone knows his true strength, but there is a risk is a risk, and the city has not cooperated with a flash media in this area before.

In other words, it is necessary to pull the city into the film project and let them participate in the project, but Zheng Xu also has to master this degree well, the money can't be too much, this can't be too much, not to lower the investment share of the city, but the production cost of the whole drama should be compressed as a whole, so that even if the city's investment accounts for a large share of the project, this amount of money can't seem too much, and one or two million will be up to the sky.

After thinking about it, Zheng Xu expressed this concern, and finally asked: "Leader, do you think the investment amount of 20 million can be accepted by the city?" You can rest assured of my ability, this investment will be at least tripled at the beginning, and after the movie is released, Penguin Video will have a long-term advertising share. ”

The leaders were stunned for a moment, he didn't know much about the film and television industry, he hadn't thought about this problem before, but now as soon as Zheng Xu talked about it, he understood, this consideration is very suitable and thoughtful, and the scale is just right!

For the city, if it is an investment of hundreds of millions, it will be a big deal! But an investment of one or two hundred million, this is a big or small thing, in the film and television industry, it is not too conspicuous, and it will not look too stingy, plus there is a famous director Zheng Xu in front, the risk is more acceptable.

"Yes, Mr. Zheng, you are professional and thoughtful! After the investment is finished, the rest of the specifics, subject matter, filming location, is there any intention? ”

"Leader, let's calculate according to the total investment, with a budget of 60 million, the types that can be made are very limited, since it is a commercial film, I mean it belongs to a feature film, and this kind of film does not require so much money. It also has a short production cycle and minimal risk. ”

The initial total budget of the film is 60 million, giving one-third of the investment share to the city, and the rest is a few of them.

The rest of the costume and martial arts dramas, there have been too many people filming during this period, and the audience is tired of watching the movie, action movies, you can bring a little bit of this element, but you can't use this element as the main feature, this theme is too actor-eating, and the rest can be played, and it is the plot of the modern theme.

Romance films, time-traveling films, and comedies are excluded, and in the end, there are some crimes and family themes left, Zheng Xu is better at crime themes, using small people, small scenes, and alluding to the big environment!

"Moreover, our current way, you know, our business alliance is to organize a group to push the locality, the front film and television projects open the way, the back commercial projects follow up, complement each other, and can also be close to the people's livelihood, some time ago we went to Xijiang Province to experiment with this set of models, the results are beginning to appear, at present, it seems that it is very good, I think this time I can continue to use this model, and operate like this."

After Zheng Xu finished speaking, the leader nodded, last time, Flashing Media organized several companies to form teams to go to the western frontier to film and invest in projects, and they played "very big", the city knew it, and at that time, the city also followed Zheng Xu to send dozens of truckloads of materials to support and express their hearts.

Don't look at Zheng Xu's total investment in Xijiang Province, it doesn't seem to be particularly large, only a few hundred million in total, but they are all engaged in physical projects! It is also close to people's livelihood, bringing thousands of jobs to the local area, which is already a big project!

Moreover, they are a project done by several private companies, they are not state-owned enterprises, and they are already very strong to be able to do this!

At the end of the year, the annual report of Xijiang Province will be typed, and the media may be praised by the above, and the city may follow suit!

Now Zheng Xu is ready to continue with this model, if the city follows this time, this power will be even greater! And this model now seems to be operable, there is no risk, the investment is not large, and it can help local enterprises go out, no matter how you look at it, it is very interesting, and it is indeed very close to people's livelihood!

"Which place are you going to pick?"

This is what leaders are most concerned about.

Zheng Xu's model is the most interesting place, you can't go to developed areas to do this, the overall volume of their business alliance looks average, and it's not enough to go to developed areas!

For example, in the south and along the coast, there are a large number of big old cities.

Not to mention Zheng Xu's business alliance, even if you add the entire Zhongzhou City, it is not enough to see it together!

The economy of a county or city is more than the sum of their provincial capitals, who will help whom to develop?

Who has seen the poor go to the aid of the rich since ancient times?

Therefore, this location is very critical, it is necessary to pick a little bit of the place, and the poor place is the best, so that the effect can be produced!

................

Zheng Xu smiled, this several companies of their Star Alliance have done pre-eucalyptus together, and there is more than one set of pre-eucalyptus, now he has a general direction in his heart, and he will come as soon as he opens his mouth.

"Leader, this time I'm going to make a crime-themed movie, this theme is very friendly to our actors, set in South Korea, but we don't need to shoot big cities, this can control the production cost. In addition, as you know, there are places in the Northeast that are economically underdeveloped, but there are a lot of supplies that our Star Alliance needs very much. ”

"You mean... Over there in Yanbian? "The leader listened to Zheng Xu's words, but he didn't wonder that there were any materials needed by the Star Alliance in the Northeast, just rice and wheat, which were bulk basic foods, and the Star Alliance needed them very much!

Have you ever eaten Want Want snow cakes? What is it made of? Quick-frozen dumplings, dumpling wrappers, Fat Donglai always sells rice noodles in the supermarket, right?

Even if it's Honey Snow Ice City, you need it! What do you think the pearls in bubble tea are made of?

With so many things that their Star Alliance needs, they can indeed go to the Northeast to promote the project, and the Korean compatriots in Yanbian, because of their innate advantages, many places can be filmed in small cities in South Korea without changes!

There is a door to this plan!

And most importantly, the local economy is not doing well!

At least compared with Zhongzhou City, it is not good, which gives the leaders self-confidence, they Zhongzhou City is a typical deficiency compared to the top, more than the bottom!

"Okay, this can be discussed, um... I've been talking to the other companies on your side one by one recently, so you don't have to worry about that. When the leader said this, he was a little embarrassed.

Zheng Xu smiled, he didn't care at all, who would come out of this plan, is it important?

They have known about this plan for a long time within the Star Alliance, and now that the leader proposes to coordinate this project, everyone just tacitly knows it, and the fame is given to him!

As long as it can be affordable, what is this fame? The fame gained in the city is also his Zheng Xu's!

"Then it's all up to the leader to worry about you, haha."

Zheng Xu is not going to mention the rest of the specific things, just stop in moderation, and leave the rest to the leaders, hold more meetings, let more people participate, let the leaders show their faces more, and he doesn't care so much.

Raising his hand and looking at his watch, it was almost time for dinner before he knew it, Zheng Xu first sent a text message to the employee who was in charge of entertaining others just now, reminded them, and then said: "It's time for dinner, leader, you have been thinking about it for so long, let's eat." ”

"Hahaha, let's take a walk, I've heard that your canteen here has a good reputation, and I was always too busy to take care of it when I came here before, but this time I want to try it, is it worthy of its reputation!"

"Haha, good!"

......................

The canteen is not lively, the meal time of Flashing Media is very flexible, and the departments are staggered, some will order in advance, some will be late, and they will not rush to the meal to eat together, so when Zheng Xu and the others came in, there were not many people dining.

After finishing the meal, several people took the plate and found a table of eight people to sit down to eat.

This canteen is not arranged according to the fixed tables of ordinary canteens.

Rather, it seems very casual. There are several sizes of dining tables in a mess.

There are small tables with two people sitting opposite each other in the corner, and there are also four people and eight people.

This is to make it easier for employees to get used to it, so that everyone doesn't have to sit down and eat face to face, after a long time, they have become accustomed to it, and they can sit wherever they want.

The leader greeted a middle-aged man from the city's TV station: "Director Wang, come on, come and sit down and eat together, haven't you always wanted to talk to Mr. Zheng more!" ”

"Mr. Zheng, let me introduce to you, this is Director Wang of our city TV station, in charge of program production, you have had little contact before, you can talk more in the future."

Zheng Xu put the dinner plate, looked at Director Wang with glasses, and nodded with a smile.

"Mr. Zheng, when you are free, is it inconvenient for you to guide us more? There is so much to learn! ”

Director Wang's attitude is very correct.

There is no way, Zhongzhou TV is theoretically the second largest TV station in the province, but it is only theoretical.

They are actually miserable, because they are located in the provincial capital, and there is a neighbor in the city----- Elephant TV.

There is this nominal higher-level provincial TV station, which leads to the city TV station, which has no funds and no resources, and most of the resources are occupied by Elephant Satellite TV, which is currently a small transparent.

And Elephant Satellite TV, which is much stronger than them, is also strong in the province, and compared it with various domestic David TVs, that is, it is a large small transparent, which is more than enough than the top.

You can see the overall level of Zhongzhou City from their two TV stations, and this is the case in many places, which is more than enough than the upper and lower levels, which is very embarrassing.

"Haha, Director Wang can come to me at any time if you have any questions in the future!"

Zheng Xu was not polite to him at all, although the other party is a municipal TV station, but whether it is influence, fame, or resources, compared with Flashing Media, it is several levels worse, he can really guide them in their work, the difference is whether Zheng Xu wants to or not, now that the leader has raised it, this bit of face has to be given!

The relationship between Flashing and Flashing Media, in general, is closer to the city, and much closer to the province than to the province.

Ordinary people may think that it is necessary to have a good relationship with the province, but the location of the flashing media company is a bit special, the provincial capital, there are mainly two sets of leadership groups here, one large and one small.

But Zheng Xu is still divided into the difference between the county officials and the current management!

He has a good relationship with the city, which is a matter of course, even the province can't say anything about him, and he has to praise him for caring for his hometown.

This is why the city is extremely "spoiled" by the flash media.

Now the leaders know this, so they take the initiative to propose, meaning that they want to let the flashing media help the city's TV station more.
