Chapter 437: In full swing
The company established by Gu Yixin is more inclined to production and distribution, and in terms of artists, it is supported by starlight, so they don't have to think about the signing of artists, as long as they sign some excellent directors and screenwriters.
After all, in the entertainment industry, there is not much difference between which company the actors belong to, especially the more they develop in the future, the more so, for the company, the artist makes money, and the company can take a part of it, but for the actor himself, as long as the resources are in place, it doesn't make much difference which company it is.
Anyway, generally speaking, if the company has a contracted director, the filming will definitely find the company's actors, and if an actor is good enough, then it is not a big problem which company to belong to.
On the contrary, the director is relatively more important, as long as there is an excellent director in hand, then they don't have to worry about no filming and no actors to play.
And this is equivalent to mastering the core technology.
There is also a very critical problem, that is, Gu Yi has his own money, and he does not need to pull investment from outside, and Gu Yi will consult and review all the projects that the company wants to produce in the future.
As for the three stories that came out this time, among them, "Yanxi Raiders" can be placed in the first place, and when the time comes, you can train some newcomers first, and then see if there are any better seedlings.
"Flower Thousand Bone" can be placed in the second, this is also a big heroine's play, but the big way is still different from "Yanxi Raiders", in comparison, this film is a bit more inclined to the type of idol drama.
is also a screening of this drama, after so many rounds, they can basically know if there is anyone who is really worthy of praise on the starlight side, and if there is, they will be directly brought to "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Of course, a big IP like "The Legend of Zhen Huan" must still go outside to find some excellent actors to cooperate, and this is a later story, and it has not yet reached that stage.
After another half a month or so, they finally arrived at LS, and along the way they saw snow-capped mountains, rushed rivers, meadows, and endless plains.
I saw the yak grazing leisurely on the side of the road, and I also saw the little antelope with its buttocks in the shape of a heart and jumping up and down.
I also saw wild donkeys on both sides of the road and the herds of dogs.
On the way, they had traveled with believers and Tibetans who were going all the way to LS to worship, and they had also seen monks who had walked hundreds of kilometers but had not walked a few steps before a long head prostrate.
Exchanged experiences with other hikers, took photos with challengers who rode to LS, and squatted in the rest area with motorcyclists to eat instant noodles and self-heating hot pot.
But now they have finally arrived.
After a day's rest, they went to visit the Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple, and under the leadership of the owner of the homestay, they went to some shops selling Tibetan-style antiques and went to see the painting of thangkas.
Each of them bought some souvenirs.
Then they ate Indian food, Nepalese food, and went to a well-known local restaurant where sweet tea was a dollar a cup, and the transaction was only in cash.
But the way of ordering food here is also very interesting, you only need to put the one-yuan bill on the table, and after drinking the sweet tea, wait for the waiter with the teapot to come over, and you don't need to talk much, just point to your cup, and the eldest sister will instantly fill the cup, and then reach out and take a dollar from the table and put it in her pocket.
It's just that after arriving here, their trip will end, and all the expenses they spend here in the next few days will be paid by the program team.
After all, it doesn't cost much for them to eat food and buy some souvenirs here, and of course if they want to buy the more expensive dzi or some other cultural toys, they have to pay for it themselves.
Just for the meals and those souvenirs, the few of them together spent more than 20,000 yuan.
First, they eat and drink by themselves, and secondly, they also need to bring some souvenirs back to their relatives and friends.
Although Gu Yi himself has no beliefs, he still bought a few valuable dzi through the Cultural and Tourism Bureau here and some people who specialize in collecting.
These things can also be used as gifts when the time comes.
For example, Ning Xiu can send one, and Zhang Fan, Liao Facun, and Ding Liang can also send one.
And the rest of the band is not to mention.
After staying here at LS for three days, Gu Yi went back, but a few people in the team planned to stay here to play and then leave, after all, there are still many attractions around, although the distance is far, they don't have any arrangements for the next itinerary, and they can spend a month to take a good turn.
After returning to Yanjing, Gu Yi rested for a day, and then began to visit his friends' homes and gave gifts by the way.
Zhang Fan is the penultimate to go, because there is still something to discuss.
"Director Zhang, how did we talk about that before?"
"Personally, I am very intentional, and the conditions given by Mr. Song are also very sincere, but I still want to know more about your scripts."
If you want to win over Zhang Fan, these scripts are the top priority, so Gu Yi gave the other party a detailed explanation, and the more Zhang Fan listened, the stronger the smile between his eyebrows became.
So much so that they had dinner together again in the evening, and early the next morning they went to the company to sign the contract.
Maybe it's because of Gu Yi's personality charm, or maybe it's because Zhang Fan took a fancy to Gu Yi's potential for future development, so they signed directly for ten years this time.
In other words, in the next ten years, Zhang Fan will have to film in the company.
After chatting, Gu Yi gave Zhang Fan the outline of the script he had sorted out during that time, and asked Zhang Fan to prepare the script.
In the end, Gu Yi also planned to visit Ding Liang, they had worked together many times before, and Ding Liang was indeed a very beneficial variety show director, since "Let's Cultivate", he has filmed one hit after another, although most of them have Gu Yi's participation, but without Ding Liang's own talent and planning ability, the show would not be popular all over the country.
"Director Ding, the conditions I offer here are like this, you can decide freely on the timing of the contract, whether it is three years, five years, or ten years, but what I can guarantee is that the variety shows I told you just now can let you be the director in person, and you have absolute autonomy."
In order to impress Ding Liang, Gu Yi also came up with some Wang Bang variety shows.
It's just that Ding Liang is most interested in two of these variety shows, the first is "Actors Please Be in Place", and the second is "Director Please Be in Place".
"Gu Yi, you also know, I'm not short of money now, I mainly want to make some excellent variety shows, although I am a variety show director, but sometimes I want to try film and television works, I am very interested in the two proposals you put forward.
If the company can support resources on these two variety shows, it doesn't matter if I sign in to you, anyway, I'm tired of working in the system now, and the intrigue over there is really powerful, even if I am now famous, but every time there are still many people who want to come over and pick up my results. ”
"Don't worry, Director Ding, whoever is here belongs to us, and it is absolutely impossible to engage in airborne parachuting.
If you are interested in these two, we can shoot these two first, but after that, in fact, we can lean back on the official side, Director Ding, let me ask you a question, do you want to shoot CCTV's variety show? ”
"Do you need to talk about that? I definitely want to. Ding Liang replied without hesitation.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Yi said "Poetry Conference" and "The Strongest Brain".
"Good guy, I originally thought that the two you said before were already Wang Bang, but I didn't expect there to be such an awesome variety show idea later."
"Haha, otherwise how dare I come to Director Ding to you, then there must be something good in your hand, in fact, in addition to these, I have it, and I can do it synchronously when the time comes, according to the normal process, shoot each of these variety shows for two or three seasons, at least four or five years."
"You've said that, so what else can I say? Sign it, as long as you can give me all these things, then we can have a seven-year contract first. ”
Seeing that Ding Liang was also so happy, Gu Yi also signed a contract directly with the other party, and wrote all the promised conditions into the contract, without any tricks in black and white, and did not make any loopholes in the text.
After signing Ding Liang, some of the remaining screenwriters and assistant directors signed Gu Yi were handed over to Song Fuxing.
At that time, Song Fuxing only needs to dock with Ding Liang and Zhang Fan, anyway, the two directors have been in the circle for so long, and they must also have their own network resources.
There are also many creators who have worked together.
"Brother Song, when the time comes, I still want to hand over the company's affairs to Xiaoxue to be in charge, and then you can help more.
But this is also because we are still in the initial stage of entrepreneurship, so the company is only divided between different departments, and when the scale of the company develops in the future, these businesses will be split.
When the time comes, Brother Song, you can also choose a direction, and then set up a separate company, and you will be the boss. ”
"Alas, Gu Yi, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to do it well."
"Don't be afraid, these are always things to face, don't you think I'm too? At the beginning, he was just an actor, and now he is the owner of several companies. ”
After giving Song Fuxing a few more injections, Gu Yi went to the magic capital again and began to prepare for "The Richest Man in Xihong City" with Yu Feng.
As for those film festivals, it's not very important, anyway, it's good to go to the festival when the time comes, and you can get which award you can get, and it doesn't matter if you can't get it.
None of these things can be forced.
On the contrary, at this stage, Gu Yi needs to find some jobs for the starlight artists first.
It will take a while for the film and television works mentioned before to land, and those variety shows are actually not suitable for starlight artists.
But now the most important thing in Gu Yi's mind is variety shows.
After polishing the script of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" in the magic capital and the screenwriting team here, Gu Yi returned to Yanjing again and met with several directors who Song Fuxing found later.
"Next, the company plans to promote a few variety shows and a few movies and TV series first, of course, a few of Director Ding's side are big projects, but on our side, I also plan to let each of you come out with one, and then decide the content of your future work according to the ratings and income at that time and various data."
Ding Liang's work ability Gu Yi fully recognizes, but these new directors still need to be observed and observed.
"Let me talk about variety shows first, the directors of several of your variety shows can decide and discuss for themselves which one to shoot?
The first is a dubbing-type variety show, the main content is to invite some artists in the circle, especially those who are good at dubbing, to dub some classic film and television works, you don't have to worry about copyright, and I will let people from the security department dock when the time comes.
The second is a road-traveling outdoor reality show, which is a bit similar to the ones I filmed before, which also requires the guests to start from one city and then travel to another city more than a thousand kilometers away.
The third I want to cooperate with the official, the type should be regarded as a variety show of police documentary, and the shooting form is documentary, mainly to shoot some tricky or more unbelievable cases.
These three variety shows are in different directions, and then the three of you can think about which one to shoot. ”
And the prototypes of these three variety shows are "Endless", "Wuhan" and "Guarding the Liberation West".
After talking about variety shows, Gu Yi looked at several other film and television directors.
first learned about the styles that several people are good at, and then Gu Yi learned that the three directors are good at war films, suspense films and action movies.
It's just that except for action movies, the other two are TV drama directors.
"I'll get a script for each of you when I go back, and then you will shoot it first, and the construction period will be shortened as much as possible, but the quality must be high, and I will also calculate it for you in terms of investment, and the money will definitely be in place."
After hearing this, the three directors all nodded, saying that they would definitely shoot the script that Gu Yi gave them when the time came.
After arranging the variety shows and film and television works that the company will do next, the artists on Starlight's side basically have things to do next.
Originally, Starlight has directly expanded to more than 30 actors and more than a dozen singers in the past few years.
However, due to the sudden suppression of the family this year, many people in the company chose to leave.
So now there are basically only more than 20 actors left, and among the more than 20 actors, there are eleven in movies, and the remaining sixteen are in TV series.
However, the script began to be prepared, and the main characters would naturally be selected from among them, but before that, they could all go on a variety show first to stir up the popularity.
It's just that Gu Yi began to plan all kinds of programs here, and Ning Xiu's family quickly got the news. (End of chapter)
