Chapter 925: Jiang Yan is the director
What's next?
Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Lu Lesheng turned his head to look at Xiang Xingxian, who rushed back from the set.
"Enter the film and television industry!"
Jiang Yan said.
From the beginning of the acquisition of Feng Lingyu's animation studio, Jiang Yan had a meticulous plan in his heart.
First make Beifeng Animation bigger and stronger, and use this as a source of funds to feed Beifeng Entertainment.
Apparently the plan worked, but only half the battle.
Beifeng Animation is now the largest animation company in China, with nearly 1,000 employees, and is well organized under the management of Feng Lingyu.
"Five Elements of the Foggy Mountains", "The Return of the Great Sage", "Assassin Wu Liuqi" and so on, the anime launched was widely acclaimed.
In addition, the anime peripherals are also selling well, and the operation is very mature.
In the middle, there was an accident, that is, Yayuan Group's investment in Beifeng Entertainment, which was an unexpected joy and was not within the scope of Jiang Yan's plan.
Beifeng Entertainment has gradually developed and grown in the investment of 8 billion yuan in Beifeng Animation and Yayuan Group, and currently has six agents, 40 artists, most of the artists and singers, and a few actors.
The reason why Xiang Xingxian rushed back from the set of "Rain of Swords" was because he was the only director in the company.
Entering the film and television industry is a big deal, and you must be careful and cautious.
Jiang Yan's words made the three of them have serious expressions, and they all fell into deep thought.
"Jiang Yan, hasn't the company been making movies?" Zhang Dan asked.
"The Tuner", "The Richest Man in Xihong City", and "Rain of Swords", which is being filmed, are all movies.
"What I'm talking about entering the film and television industry is to reach the scale of Xitian."
Jiang Yan explained, and then took out the materials prepared in advance from the drawer and put them on the table.
Xitian is recognized as a leading entertainment company in the film and television industry, according to statistics, Xitian shot a total of 35 TV series and 30 movies last year.
It is worth noting that the vane of TV dramas has always been firmly controlled by Xitian.
The ethical dramas that were popular the year before last and the historical dramas that were popular last year were all produced by Xitian.
What kind of theme is popular in the anime circle, and the same is true in the TV industry, the difference is that Xitian imitates his own TV series.
In addition, there are movies, Jiang Yan noticed that the movies invested by Xitian are generally between 10 million and 30 million, and the publicity budget is 5 million.
These small-investment movies are divided into three situations, the first is a small loss, the second is a small profit, and the third is a big hit.
Of course, big explosions are rare, and they are generally small profits.
With an investment of 30 million, the total box office of the movie is 200 million, plus the Dadi Cinema Line itself is a happy day, and the tax deduction is almost 100 million in his own hands with other cinemas.
In addition, it is a big investment and a big production, and seven out of ten movies that Xitian has invested more than 100 million yuan are popular, and they are fires!
"The Game of Labyrinths" is about a group of people who are caught in a mysterious forest, and a group of perverted rich people gamble.
After this movie became popular, Xitian successively launched "The Game of the Labyrinth" 234, until the leeks could not be cut, wasting the feelings of fans, and making no money.
"So, do you want the company to release seven or more movies a year?" Zhang Dan understood what Jiang Yan meant.
"And the TV series!"
Jiang Yan added.
The film and television industry is very profitable, this is a recognized fact, just like Xiang Xingxian's previous ridicule.
""Your Name" has an investment of 300 million, the daily box office exceeds 100 million, and the total box office is expected to be 6 billion.
The premise of making money in the film and television industry is that both movies and TV series must be exciting, and the audience and TV stations will pay for the good-looking films.
"So what does the boss want to do." Lu Lesheng asked.
Since he joined Beifeng Entertainment as the general manager, Jiang Yan has completely become a hands-off shopkeeper, and the company's big and small things are handed over to Zhang Dan and him to be responsible.
"Professional things are left to professional people, I trust you."
Jiang Yan said.
And he and Zhang Dan did not live up to Jiang Yan's trust, and the two cooperated to run Beifeng Entertainment well.
But this does not mean that the boss is really the boss, Lu Lesheng knows in his heart that the boss has been absorbing talents for the company, and singers are the first.
Like the first-line singer Hu Yuanliang and Tianwang Ji Xuemin, the bosses joined the company personally, including the Lyricist Association, and now they can add two words in front.
North Maple Lyric Association!
All the staff of the association are Beifeng employees, and the management personnel such as Quan Yongsi and Ding Sishuo are Jiang Yan's old friends, although it is not a relationship between superiors and subordinates, Jiang Yan can appoint all the positions of the lyric association.
Lu Lesheng gradually realized that his boss was thoughtful and long-term.
Jiang Yan pondered for a moment.
"The company needs more directors." Jiang Yan looked at Xiang Xingxian.
"Does Director Xiang have any recommended candidates?"
Jiang Yan asked.
"Yes, for example, my assistant director Yue Weili, he has been with me for five or six years, and he can be responsible for filming independently, but he is not famous." Xiang Xingxian said.
"It's okay, as long as you have the ability, I can give him the cost of trial and error."
Jiang Yan said with a smile.
Let Xiang Xingxian's assistant director make a movie and hit the street, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you shoot two on the street, the third part hasn't been successful, then you can get out.
As for the cost of trial and error, with Beifeng Entertainment's current financial resources, the investment in movies and TV series can be 10 million to 20 million.
"There are other directors like Xitian, Dongsheng, Warner, and Brotherhood, the circle of directors is very small, and everyone knows who has the ability and who has nothing to show for it."
Xiang Xingxian said.
"I'll leave it to Sister Dan to dig people." Jiang Yan had a clear idea.
It's best to dig it up, but it's really not okay.
"It's better to recommend some young directors, between thirty and forty." Jiang Yan added.
Xiang Xingxian nodded.
"Also, I'm going to build a video website and app." Jiang Yan continued.
Middle-aged and elderly people are still accustomed to watching TV, while young people are more inclined to watch TV on computers and mobile phones.
This is where the importance of video sites and apps comes in.
"It's a bit difficult."
Lu Lesheng scratched his head, when he was still in Mewtwo, Mewtwo Animation wanted to build a video website and APP.
However, in the end, it failed and could not shake the status of the anime tribe.
As for the reasons for failure, to put it simply, video sites are burning money every minute and every second, but the returns are too low to meet expectations.
The Mewtwo boss finally called a halt, and he couldn't afford such a huge loss.
"I have faith, and I hope you will have faith too!"
Jiang Yan said in a deep voice.
"When the Beifeng Video APP is established, all TV series and movies under Beifeng Animation and Beifeng Entertainment will be released exclusively on the Beifeng APP, and I will personally shoot a TV series in the near future as a promotion!"
Shoot a TV series yourself?!
Everyone was surprised, especially Xiang Xingxian, he knew that Jiang Yan's acting skills could be called an actor, but could he be a director?
Some people died, but not completely......
