Chapter 216: New Ideas for Dumplings

"It's a really good drawing."

The two couldn't help but praise at the same time.

At this moment, Concubine Liu saw Jiang Bai thinking that Jiang Bai was about to leave, and she didn't know when the next time they met, so she also ran over to say hello.

After seeing the portraits in the hands of the two, he asked suspiciously.

"What is this?"

"It's a gift that the two of us swapped."

"You actually secretly exchange gifts, what about mine? Teacher Jiang, you shouldn't have prepared for me, right? ”

"Of course it's for you, it's inside."

Liu Yifei took the bag from Su Rou's hand and found that there was a painting scroll inside.

"Wow, did you draw it for me too?"

"Of course, I prepared gifts for all of you, but it's not good to bring them all at once, so I only brought Brother Xu and yours."

Liu Yifei happily unfolded this scroll, only to see that it was her portrait of Zhao Linger in the TV series Fairy Sword.

"It's so beautiful, Jiang Bai, are you so good at painting?"

"Of course, didn't you listen to the people outside? I can't do anything other than have children, and I don't know anything. ”

"So powerful? No wonder you played so well and won the national championship. Liu Yifei praised Jiang Bai on her lips, but her eyes were always reluctant to leave her portrait.

After looking at it for a long time, she carefully rolled up the painting: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, I couldn't prepare any gifts for you this time, and I will definitely make it up to you when I go back after filming!" ”

"Okay, then I'll wait, don't forget, otherwise I'll be embarrassed to ask you then."

"Why am I embarrassed? Isn't it embarrassing for you to ask for a gift? Such a big star also pulled down his face and asked a little girl for a gift. ”

Jiang Bai smiled and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I'm shameless." ”

Liu Yifei didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Anyway, you just say whether to give it or not, if you don't give it to me, you can go directly to your school and ask for it."

"Give it to you, Teacher Jiang has given me such a big gift, how can I not reply to you, don't worry, I will definitely give you a special gift when the time comes."

Xu Jinjiang was used to the way of dialogue between the two of them, so he just looked at the two of them gently with the smile of an elder.

"By the way, Sissi, the gifts I prepared for the others were moved to your room in the morning, and your mother was there at the time, so I asked her to keep them, and you can help distribute them to everyone when the time comes."

"Okay, I'll leave this kind of thing to me!"

In the morning, Jiang Bai stayed here again, told everyone the precautions when filming in the future, and made a special trip to tell Wang Baoqiang to call at any time if there is any problem in the future.

If you are filming and you don't have time to pick it up, let it go first, and if it matters, call Su Rou directly.

"Brother Jiang, I know."

"Well, do a good job, speaking of which, this is your first time directing independently, anyway, everyone is good, if there is anything you don't understand, in addition to calling me to ask me, you can also ask other actors or directors."

"Brother Jiang, don't worry."

After that, Jiang Bai left.

The things he had with him were still in the hotel.

In addition, there are some tea sets and other things that need to be packed and mailed back.

After everything was packed, Jiang Bai took his luggage downstairs and got into the car arranged for him by the crew.

There is no airport here, although there is a railway station, but it is only three hours to drive from Suiyun to Hangzhou.

It's just that after arriving in Hangzhou, the time happened to be noon, so Jiang Bai took the driver to have a meal again.

After all, you can't let people run for nothing.

After eating, the driver sent the two to the airport again, and then went back.

Jiang Bai and the others entered the airport and began to wait.

While waiting here, Jiang Bai pondered in his heart how much money he could make from crazy racing,

The crazy racing car just came out of theaters the other day.

In the end, the box office statistics totaled more than 120 million.

After removing taxes, development funds, and money to be given to the distribution and theater chains, there are still more than 41.6 million left.

In addition, the company injected 40% of the capital, and Jiang Bai injected 60%.

In this way, Jiang Bai can get about 24.9 million, and the remaining 16 million is considered the money earned by the company.

However, this money, Jiang Bai and Zhao Zhe have also been discussed.

Ning Hao, as the biggest hero, naturally wants to get a bonus.

Jiang Bai put a fraction of the money he earned, that is, more than 900,000 yuan, into the company, and then the company also took out 600,000 yuan.

A total of 1.5 million.

Among them, Ning Hao was directly given one million as a bonus.

The remaining 500,000 will be divided among those who write the writers, assistant directors, etc., according to the size of the credit.

However, Zhao Zhe and Jiang Bai agreed to take five thousand as they wanted, and then distribute the rest to others.

This money is mainly for those behind the scenes.

Since their film is not a big production, the post-production team adds up to more than 40 people, and on average, each person can get about 10,000.

Of course, there will definitely be more leaders, anyway, even if there are less, there are more than 5,000.

Of course, this money will have to wait until after the account is issued.

After returning to Yanjing, it was already afternoon, so naturally there was no need to join the group, Jiang Bai went back to the company to take a look, and called everyone for a meeting.

On the one hand, it is to encourage everyone to work hard during this time, and on the other hand, to talk about the company's next plan.

The success of two consecutive films has sweetened them, and they plan to continue making movies in the future, and they currently have two in plan.

One is the martial arts story that Jiang Bai said at the beginning, and the other is the one that Jiang Wen is preparing, but these two films will have to wait until the middle of the second year.

During Jiang Bai's filming, Dong Hyun was not idle, in addition to a simple cameo in the crazy racing, Zhao Zhe also found her two TV series to shoot.

The scripts of these two dramas are still okay, one of them is a Republic of China romantic drama starring Ma Jingtao, and the other is the urban suspense reasoning drama "Black Eyes" made by director Zhang Yuan, who won the Jury Award at the Hawaii International Film Festival and was selected as one of the world's top 100 young leaders in the 21st century and the Best Director Award at the 56th Venice International Film Festival in Germany.

Although these two dramas have now been filmed, Zhao Zhe still gave her two more, one is the Da Song Qi case that started filming at the beginning of the year, starring Liang Guanhua, who plays Di Renjie, and there is also a costume martial arts drama called Junzi Hao, which was filmed by CCTV.

So in the first half of next year, Dong Hyun will have to be filming outside all the time.

And Huang Bo also received a new drama here, which is based on migrant workers, and the director is bluffing.

This old friend of Huang Bo will naturally think of Huang Bo when he has a new play.

After Zhang Songwen made a cameo appearance in the crazy racing, he also received an invitation from Southern TV to go to Guangdong to set up a crash course for the performance of "The Strange Son-in-law of the Dragon", which they were planning to shoot.

After that, he will also star as the male lead.

So when the filming of this TV series is finished, it will be the middle of 05 years.

As for the other screenwriter they recruited, he is still creating, anyway, the company has no requirements for him, after all, the other party is only a talent reserve, and the basic salary of more than 1,000 yuan per month is not limited to the other party taking private work outside to earn extra money.

As far as it is now, if most screenwriters only rely on the contracted company to eat, it won't take long for them to starve to death, and this is still a screenwriter signed by a company, like those freelance screenwriters who have to take on private work to make money.

Either he is a gunman, and the work he receives may be subcontracted by others, of course, if he doesn't want to write it himself, he can also subcontract it out again and draw some water from it.

Either you want to help people and make some hard-earned money, but if you can't write some articles or invest in newspapers or magazines, if you can get by, it's also a good income.

Zhao Zhe came from the screenwriter, and naturally knows the unspoken rules of this industry, as long as there are tasks arranged by the company that do not affect the progress of the company's projects, and do not affect the company's reputation outside, then he basically turns a blind eye.

As for Xiao Yang, it has become another point of stable profitability for the company in addition to those actors.

But at the same time, Zhao Zhe is also looking for a suitable project for the other party, let him go out to experience and experience, otherwise there are still many differences between the shooting of commercials and movies and TV series.

The director of a film and TV series can shoot a good commercial, but a director of an advertising film may not be able to shoot a movie and TV series.

And short and long stories are equally different.

However, it is worth mentioning that Dumpling, the only animation director in the company, has finally made a good animated short film.

Because Jiang Bai and Zhao Zhe agree that the track of cartoons is actually very marketable, if it can be done well, it can be made into a form like neon.

Therefore, in order to make the work of dumplings go smoothly, Zhao Zhe also specially recruited several people to help dumplings.

"Brother Jiang, Brother Zhao, now that our animation is done, what should we do next?"

At the meeting, the dumpling asked with some trouble.

Animation is his dream and hobby, and it took him a full year to make the finished product from the beginning of the preparation to the present for this short film.

But now that he has made it, he is a little confused.

Because he is not doing an animated series, nor is it an animated film, he thinks about what kind of benefits this animated short film can bring to the company every day.

But when he thought about it, he couldn't think of anything that could be profitable.

Jiang Bai thought for a moment after hearing this: "This is an animated short film you made, right?" What is the approximate duration? ”

"Sixteen minutes."

"Sixteen minutes, there must be no way to take it to the screen.,Because the time is too short.,But as far as I know, there are still a lot of awards in this area at home and abroad.,Go back and sort out what animation awards are available at home and abroad.,And then take your short film to vote.,Report everything that can be reported.,Don't fall behind as long as you can get on any award unit.。

"If we can't be evaluated, we won't say anything, if we can be evaluated, it will be equivalent to beating out the fame."

After Jiang Bai finished speaking, he continued to ask: "But compared to this short film, I'm still more curious about what other ideas and arrangements you have next?" ”

After hearing this, Dumpling also became interested: "Brother Jiang, I want to make another short film next, the subject matter has already been thought of, and it is based on a film and television culture company, which is actually our company."

The employees inside are these colleagues around me, they are a group of extremely enthusiastic, slightly obscene, but without losing the sense of justice in the workplace, but in the role of the boss, I plan to set up a pervert boss with nouveau riche taste, in addition to this, there is also a boba beauty to apply for a secretary...... The rest of the story revolves around their battle of wits and courage with the pervert boss. ”

Jiang Bai couldn't help but sigh when he heard this.

This subject ......

On the surface, it looks okay.

It's a funny genre, and stories like witty employees and bad bosses can also attract audiences.

But the problem is that it's still a short film.

The short film that Dumpling Xin said is not the same as the previous one, the previous one belongs to the anti-war theme, even if it is a short film, it has a deep meaning.

But this office struggle is too petty.

"What's the matter, Brother Jiang, isn't this not good?"

Jiang Bai shook his head: "The story is okay, and the subject matter is okay, but I suggest that you don't make this into an animated short film, if what you just told me is still a very big idea but epitomized to two people or such a small group of people, I support you to make a short film, but if you make this theme into a short film, the meaning will be much worse, if you can, I think it will be better to make it into a unit drama."

There are a lot of stories in the office, and it is possible to do at least thirty or forty episodes.

Or make it season by season, each season has a big main line, through a dozen or twenty episodes to finish it, and then trigger a new story.

After that, we can look at the market reaction and your wishes, and consider whether to continue to do so. ”

Dumplings pondered for a moment after hearing this.

"Brother Jiang, I think the way you said is feasible."

"Well, since you think it's okay, then you can go back and discuss it yourself, and if you decide to do it, find Mr. Zhao."

Then Jiang Bai pushed the matter to Zhao Zhe.

In fact, making animation is similar to making movies, but the place where the money is spent is different, but it also requires investment.

If they really think about the dumplings, they will naturally list the plans and scripts at that time, and they only need to take a look at them after Zhao Zhe has reviewed them.

After chatting about the matter between them in the conference room, Jiang Bai looked at Ning Hao.

"Director Ning, what about you? Do you plan to settle during this time? ”

"Well, I want to settle down, although I think of a new story, but I don't want to make it the same as the first two, so I plan to study hard during this time."
