Chapter 27 First Company Meeting
In the conference room of Dongyi Film Company, Huo Dongjun, Le Yiling, Liu Zhenwei, Ji Du, as well as Chen Xin'er, director of the publicity department, Luo Weilun, director of the production department, and Chen Musheng of the creation room are conducting the first formal meeting of Dongyi Film Company on film.
The reason why it is the first time is because Dongyi Company has only filmed a "Fierce Ghost Mission" directed by Liu Zhenwei and with an investment cost of one million, and all the company's business is running around the core of the movie.
Huo Dongjun sat on the main seat and looked at the list of financial expenditures about "Fierce Ghost Mission", different from Liu Zhenwei's sticky notes, this list of financial expenditures sorted out by Le Yiling himself, neatly and in detail, the bottom of the list calculated that the cost of this movie was 976,000 Hong Kong dollars.
"Zhen viagra, you are really sharp enough, if you talk about a million films, there is really a surplus. Huo Dongjun closed the above clip, handed it back to Le Yiling, who was sitting on the right side, and said with a smile to Liu Zhenwei.
Liu Zhenwei laughed, he had been in the countryside for more than 20 days, which made him lose some weight, and two heavy eye circles were also hanging on his face, hearing Huo Dongjun's words, he looked at Chen Musheng and said:
"Thanks to Ah Sheng for helping me, otherwise I wouldn't even know how to use the camera, and I wouldn't know when to open my mouth. ”
Chen Musheng finally succeeded in serving as the executive director of a movie, and when he heard Liu Zhenwei thank him, Chen Musheng said:
"I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to help you, the Hong Kong film industry, the most important thing is the executive director. ”
Liu Zhenwei said. "Then you are not as good as Xie Jun, he took out one million, and with his money, where can the movie be made?"
Seeing Huo Dongjun's eyes looking at Chen Xin'er in the Propaganda Department, Liu Zhenwei and Chen Musheng stopped at the point, Huo Dongjun said to Chen Xin'er:
"Movie posters, propaganda preparations for this?"
He looked at Chen Xin'er, and Le Yiling in his hand had already pulled out one of the stacks of texts in front of him and handed it over: "This is the text given by the Propaganda Department." ”
Chen Xin'er is a person pulled by Le Yiling from Shaw Brothers Films, originally a designer of the Shaw Brothers Propaganda Department in charge of movie posters, thirty-four years old, although the Shaw Brothers film was discontinued, but the post-production zuò still started, but turned to the business of other companies, Chen Xin'er was met when Le Yiling asked the Propaganda Department of the old club Shaw Brothers to help design Dongyi and the title, and later after being asked by Le Yiling to Huo Dongjun, he gave an annual salary of 100,000 yuan to jump ship to serve as the director of Dongyi Propaganda Department, responsible for film posters, film publicity and other work.
"The production cost of "Fierce Ghost Mission" is 1 million yuan, and the publicity plan given by the Propaganda Department is 200,000 yuan, including publicity in newspapers and magazines and a week's bus advertisement on two urban lines. Chen Xin'er said to Huo Dongjun, who looked down at Wen Jiàn.
Huo Dongjun frowned, the figures and means of 200,000 publicity fees given by the Propaganda Department are almost the routines before the release of most movies, newspapers, magazines, body advertisements, and if you have more money, you can also engage in some fan interaction meetings and the like, but this kind of propaganda is already a little tired of the Hong Kong people, and every movie has been released over the years, which makes fans no longer surprised.
"How many ratings of Wireless's "Happy Tonight" are there now?" Huo Dongjun turned his face sideways and looked at Le Yiling and asked.
Le Yiling didn't know Huo Dongjun and suddenly asked about the ratings of TVB, she was a Shaw Brothers film producer, and she didn't know the specific number of TVB, so she could only say at her discretion:
""Happy Tonight" began to change from five episodes to six episodes a week last year, but the ratings are not as good as before, maybe the audience is tired of it, plus ATV released two variety shows in the night file last year, and played "Happy Tonight" in a row, of course, I don't know the specific number, do you need me to help Jun Shao check it?"
Huo Dongjun is playing the opportunity for the crew to go to "Happy Tonight" to promote, although Hong Kong film crews rarely go to TV stations to promote movies, but it doesn't mean that there is no, the most recent time was last year, Liu Jialiang took Li Lianjie to "Happy Tonight", and promoted "North and South Shaolin" starring Li Lianji, showing off kung fu on the spot, and there were martial arts stars on TVB TVB, which made the TV audience feel fresh, and "North and South Shaolin" finally received more than 18 million at the Hong Kong box office, and everyone was happy.
But Liu Jialiang was able to appear in "Happy Tonight" by virtue of his identity as a veteran of the Shaw Brothers, and Huo Dongjun's Dongyi has nothing to do with wireless.
"Jun Shao wants to use the TV station screen to build momentum for the movie?" Liu Zhenwei was the first to react and asked out loud.
Huo Dongjun nodded: "There is such a plan." ”
"I don't think it's going to work any better. Le Yiling said loudly: "Of course the movie has to promote the starring role, Xu Guanying Zhong is better, Zhang Xueyou has been in the newspaper recently because of alcoholism, the image is too negative, and Wireless should not want him to appear on the screen recently." ”
"I know. Huo Dongjun said to Le Yiling: "If he didn't have negative news before, his salary would not be so low." ”
"Unless..."Le Yiling groaned for a while, and didn't continue, but Chen Xin'er spoke: "Unless, there are enough big names and positive people to appear."
Liu Zhenwei, Ji Du, Luo Weilun, and Chen Musheng all looked at Huo Dongjun, and Le Yiling smiled at Chen Xin'er: "It's not a big name, but to borrow the momentum again." ”
Huo Dongjun originally thought that Le Yiling and Chen Xin'er wanted to let him run to the TV station, after all, the positive image that Dongyi can get his hands on now is the role of Xu Zhengyang, but listening to Le Yiling's words at this time, he denied Chen Xin'er's judgment.
"Take advantage of another situation to board TVB, Xu Guanying, Zhang Xueyou may not be more popular than those TV artists in TVB, Jun Shao, Cheng Xiaodong and Xu owe you favors, can I pay you back this time?"
Huo Dongjun slowly exhaled a breath, Le Yiling's words he understood, let himself play the idea of the crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story", his own small crew with a cost of one million to go to "Happy Tonight", wireless may not be ignored, but "A Chinese Ghost Story" is different, only Zhang Guorong in the crew needs to be on stage alone, no matter how many artists appear in the wireless, it is just a maid with stars holding the moon, it is impossible to steal a trace of the limelight from Zhang Guorong, the popularity of this Southeast Asian star in Hong Kong is not just a hypocritical boast in magazines and newspapers.
"I'm just helping Cheng Xiaodong be a stand-in, this kind of thing ......" Although Huo Dongjun was very moved, he felt that Le Yiling's mention had already been made out of Cheng Xiaodong, who owed him too much favor.
Le Yiling pressed her hands on the Wen Jiàn on the table, her eyes were clear, and her tone was calm: "Human affection has nothing to do with the noble and low, for Jun Shao, it is just a stand-in, a trivial matter of one night, for Cheng Xiaodong, it is a fire to save him, not to mention, you don't have to talk to him about taking advantage of the situation, the two crews are on "Happy Tonight" to make games, all to promote the new movie, plus you and Cheng Xiaodong have a good relationship, everyone comes to wireless at the same time." ”
"Can Zhang Xueyou sing now?" Huo Dongjun looked at Liu Zhenwei and asked.
Liu Zhenwei spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders: "I was drunk four times during filming, I don't need to talk about beer, even the rice wine in the villager's house was drunk by him, I don't know if I can sing the song, anyway, the wine will definitely be drunk." ”
"Brother Lun, contact the three major theaters to see which theater can give "Ghost Mission" a good schedule. Huo Dongjun turned his head and said to Luo Weilun in the line department.
Thirty-one-year-old Luo Weilun is also a person in the film industry, he used to be the director of Binbin Film and Television, and later Binbin went bankrupt, so he transferred to Taiwan Film Company to mix with producers for a few years, but unfortunately Taiwan's local films have not really appeared as blockbusters, so Luo Weilun returned to Hong Kong and was excavated by Ji Dutong Guò headhunter and joined Dongyi
"After the end of the finale banquet the day before yesterday, I contacted that the Golden Princess has been full, and there are not even too many ordinary schedules, saying that if Dongyi wants to go to the Golden Princess Cinema, there will only be midnight and morning screenings, and at most I am only willing to give five theaters to try, the information in my hand said that the summer schedule of Golden Harvest and Debao can be adjusted, and there is a schedule to release our movie, but Debao refuses with no schedule, I think Jun Shao should know the reason, so there is only Golden Harvest, but the person in charge of Golden Harvest Cinema Line said that Zou Sheng hopes to chat with Jun Shao. After Luo Weilun sat down, he was waiting for Huo Dongjun to ask about the theater release.
Huo Dongjun knows the reason for Debao's refusal, first, this film is not a popular movie star and is not favored, second, Huo Dongjun rejected Debao's request to invite him to film some time ago, and Debao only returned Huo Dongjun's refusal to himself at this time, but Huo Dongjun believes that if this film is starring himself, even if Debao was rejected last time, he will definitely be able to come up with a schedule to release it this time.
It's just that I'm not optimistic about "Ghost Mission".
Huo Dongjun dislikes Golden Harvest the most, because of Wang Kun, and because of Golden Harvest's attitude in the Hong Kong film industry, but now there is only one line left in Golden Harvest, since Zou Wenhuai wants to meet him, for the sake of the company's film, Huo Dongjun did not refuse, after all, if the movie is not released in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia does not need to sell at a good price.
"Let's talk about the summer schedule of Golden Harvest Cinemas?" Huo Dongjun nodded lightly and continued to ask Luo Weilun.
Luo Weilun flipped through the information at hand: "The two blockbusters in the summer file here are tentatively scheduled to be released first in "Oriental Condor" directed and starring Baohe Hong Tibao, and "A1+ Sequel" directed and starring Cheng Long of Weihe Company will be postponed, these two films have basically carved up the golden period of the summer file of Golden Harvest, if we act fast, in mid-to-late June, to mid-July, before the release of "Oriental Condor" should be able to be released in Golden Harvest Cinemas, if you don't want to be too fast, then you can only "A1+ Sequel" After the end, the Mid-Autumn Festival file Yongsheng " In the period before the sequel to Zhongnanhai Bodyguard, there may not be a suitable schedule until September. ”
Yongsheng failed to get the summer file, Huo Dongjun was not surprised, because he had already talked to Watson last time when he chatted with him, because of the incident of the Taiwanese film company, Golden Harvest did not drive him away, and he was merciful to get the Mid-Autumn Festival file this time, I am afraid that Yongsheng sold the North American exercise to Golden Harvest, and Golden Harvest bowed his head obediently to Yongsheng Watson and gave a candy.
