136 Nominations again
The next day, Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, and Xiao Wang all returned to China, but He Fang didn't leave, because he wanted to talk to Du Chunsheng and them about the graduation work of the advanced training class to be filmed this year, that is, "Human Eradication Plan".
In addition, there are other investments in Hollywood.
The most important point is that He Fang had promised the California Institute of the Arts that he would give a lecture to the students, and with the experience of lecturing at the film school, he had a score in his heart this time. Of course, this time I won't use the word count, everyone knows what to say.
Why did they agree to the lecture?
It's very simple, the purpose of lecturing in China is to inspire more filmmakers who are engaged in commercial films, otherwise domestic filmmakers don't know how to do commercial films, even if they have a heart to make money at the box office, what is the use of not operating?
And the greater the influence of his ideas, the higher the right to speak in the circle in the future, think about the filmmakers who will grow up with his film knowledge in the future, so how awesome does he have to be?
"Hey, Du Chunsheng, what are you doing?" He Fang saw Du Chunsheng constantly operating the computer, as if he was buying stocks.
"Huh? In mining, there is a thing called bitcoin that is very popular recently, everyone is mining, saying that the mined bitcoin can be exchanged for dollars, and someone buys pizza with bitcoin. Du Chunsheng replied.
He Fang was stunned for a moment, and then slapped his forehead fiercely, why didn't he remember to buy some bitcoin?
This thing has been left until 2021, and the price has risen to more than 68,000 US dollars at the peak.
"Huh? That, how much is a bitcoin right now? He asked.
"It's unstable right now, $0.76 today, and it rose to $10 at its highest, this thing ...... Hey, what's wrong with you? ”
Du Chunsheng looked fanatical, and he didn't know where he was.
Can you not be fanatical? Why is it not even the price of a dollar, as long as you keep it in your hand for ten years, it will increase by more than 68,000 times, where can you make such money?
"Ahem, that, how do you open this Bitcoin account? How do I buy it? He asked.
"Do you want to play? Come, I'll teach you ......"
Well, He Fang has gone crazy, he has been buying like crazy since he opened his account.
It's a pity that the total amount of bitcoin on the market is only more than 10 million, and there are not many others willing to sell.
But this thing has to be bought, his purpose is to buy 1 million, 1 million, as long as he holds it until 2021, it will be 680 billion, and it is especially dollars. What will the more than $600 billion be worth in 2021? I can't even think about it.
It's just that...... He Fang bought it for three days in a row, and only bought more than 30,000 pieces, is this thing difficult to trade? I don't know about this thing, so buy it slowly, it's a long-term job.
I heard that even if the bitcoin is mined, it will only be about 21 million, but in 2011, didn't tens of millions of it have been mined?
Forget it, no matter, buy it cheaply anyway.
……
Bitcoin only excited He Fang for a few days, and then he was so busy that he went to the California Institute of the Arts to give a lecture for a day, met with the students of the advanced course, and sat down with them.
After that, He Fang asked Du Chunsheng to take this group of students to start preparing for the "Human Eradication Plan", and he was busy until He Fang returned to China from Los Angeles on the 22nd.
And landed in China to make a few appointments, won the Golden Globe Award, how much to appear in the media, although the heat has passed for several days, but after all, it is the first Chinese mainland to win the Golden Globe Award, this weight is still very heavy.
In addition to being interviewed, he also recorded several New Year's greeting videos, which were given to Mango Channel, Zhejiang Station and Oriental Channel.
Of course, another important thing is that the company is ready to take annual leave and pay bonuses.
Zhang Qian and the others calculated their income in 2010, and they were not happy, but their mouths were cracked to the back of their heads.
Earn hundreds of millions a year, who is not excited?
In 2010, Tuanhuo Culture released three movies, "Single Zoo" took nearly 100 million US dollars at the global box office, "People in Embarrassment" also won more than 200 million yuan at the box office, "Invasion of Wall Street" has not yet been released, but it is now the third week, the domestic box office has exceeded 450 million yuan, North America also has a box office of 45 million US dollars, and the rest of the world has also passed the box office of 30 million US dollars.
Therefore, the total annual box office of the movies released by Tuanhuo Culture in 2010 reached 1.8 billion yuan, and it is not over, "Invasion of Wall Street" has not yet been released, and it is estimated that it will exceed 2 billion throughout the year.
Of course, this is according to the calculation of the Chinese Lunar New Year, even so, the annual box office of 2 billion yuan, 43% of the domestic share, 50% of the North American share, 35% of the other regions, the gross income of 912 million yuan, of course, but also remove a lot of expenses such as publicity and distribution fees, taxes and fees, and more than 600 million yuan. And that's just the movie revenue.
Changsha Xingyao's three programs this year, "The Voice of China" has become popular all over the world, and I heard that other countries want to introduce copyrights.
"If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb" is chased by Southeast Asian audiences every week, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before the copyright is exported.
The first season of "Happy Comedian" also became a big hit on Oriental Satellite, with the highest ratings breaking 2, reaching 2.086, which made the leaders of Dragon TV excited.
The advertising revenue brought by these three programs to Changsha Xingyao Company has exceeded 1 billion, and Xingyao has made a lot of money.
So......
"Where, how will this year-end bonus be issued?" Zhang Qian was worried, so he had to ask where to go.
He Fang smiled and took out a cigarette and lit it, and then looked at Zhang Qian and Jiao Guoxiong.
"How do you want to send it? Is there a plan? ”
Zhang Qian glanced at Jiao Guoxiong, and the two shook their heads.
"Then you can't do this, let the two of you manage the company, and you won't even get a penny, so how can you care?" He Fang criticized.
Now Jiao Guoxiong doesn't do any photography, there are so many things in the company, he is now working for Zhang Qian, mainly engaged in the company's daily and logistical affairs, and is learning to engage in publicity.
Both of them smiled awkwardly, 1.6 billion, although not all the money has been received from the company's account, but there are also 1 billion that has arrived.
Don't dare to divide it, it's too much.
Shareholders are okay to say, how to divide employees?
"Alas, let's do it, in the future, a law will be formed, and 1% of the company's net profit will be given to employees every year, and it will be paid proportionally according to the level."
"Our three shareholders do not participate in this year-end bonus, and the others are rated as vice president/director, manager, business as excellent, and ordinary, with four levels of 4,321 points."
He had no choice but to set a rule.
"What is 4321?" Jiao Guoxiong asked.
"If our net profit this year is 1 billion, then 1% is 10 million, 40% for the vice president/director level, 30% for the manager and supervisor level, 20% for the excellent business rating, and 10% for ordinary employees."
Zhang Qian frowned after hearing this, and immediately found a pen and paper to calculate, and Jiao Guoxiong also watched Zhang Qian calculate from the side.
"That ordinary employee gets very little, how to calculate this employee with excellent ratings? This vice president/director-level capable person has the same amount of points as others who can do easy work, and they will not be convinced, right? Zhang Qian asked a few questions.
"I'm just mentioning the approximate weight, and you have to continue to divide the details. For example, can the position of the front desk be the same as the position of publicity? Can the weight of the cleaning aunt be the same as the weight of the network management in the computer room? Now, I'll say a little more......"
The three of them spent nearly a day before they made it clear how the company divided the money, and it also laid a new tone for the company's future management.
Such incentives are conducive to the healthy development of the company, so that employees can truly work more and get more, and reflect the uniqueness of employees.
For example, if an assistant is an ordinary employee, but you want to send her bonus as much as the front desk, then she must feel uncomfortable.
I'm an assistant, and the assistant is equivalent to half a cadre, and you equate me with the front desk? So where is my ability?
Therefore, the bonus received by the assistant is inherently different from the weight ratio of the front desk position, so the bonus received is also different.
Everyone thinks it's okay to do this, it is, you always don't complain about why I get a different bonus from the assistant, right?
If you really complain, you can, you reapply, and you pass the exam and interview and you get the assistant position, then you are the same.
You said that your network management complains differently from the publicity, okay, you have the ability to come up with a publicity plan, and you can deal with various media and theaters, if you can, then you go to the publicity and distribution department, and the weight is not the same.
After dealing with the company's affairs, the next thing is the matter of the actors of "Scorching Sun".
Where is this very entangled, is it a cast that adapts to another time and space? Or is it a slight change?
In fact, he himself also thought about acting, mainly because Deng Chao acted very well in another time and space, and it was from this movie that He Fang in another time and space really felt that Deng Chao had the strength of an actor.
However, since 2015, there have been very few literary films in China, and he, an excellent actor with the strength of an actor, has no strength to play, so he can only make some comedies.
"Zhang Qian, what do you think of the actors in "Scorching Sun"? Do you have any good suggestions? He had no choice but to discuss with the people in the company.
"Now, I knew you were going to ask me, and I showed you the actors that my production crew had preliminarily calculated, but we still recommend that you give it a try. We'd better be less of this kind of decision to make good actors after locking up in the office, which is not conducive to choosing the most suitable actor. Besides, large-scale auditions are also to exert influence in the circle, so that everyone will take the initiative to deal with us. ”
He was surprised by Zhang Qian's answer, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made sense.
Perhaps, should I really choose a role based on my audition strength?
However, which crew can say that casting really depends on 100% auditions? It's more or less about the relationship and the personal preferences of the director or producer.
"Okay, then let's have a big audition, by the way, "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" can also arrange an audition, and if you want to try, you can try it to the end."
He Fang finally made a board.
"Ha, okay, then I'll arrange it." Zhang Qian was very satisfied.
In fact, Zhang Qian suggested this because he also wanted to help He Fang share the work, otherwise he and the actor and assistant director would be very wasteful, and everything would be at his disposal.
Another point is that if He Fang often claps the actors in the office, it will make people laugh, because he shouts every day that he wants the producer-centered system to be himself, but he is asking for this directorial dictatorial behavior, isn't this a double standard? It's a joke to bring down the privilege every day, and when you hold the privilege, you refuse to let go.
When actor assistant director Hu Kai heard the news, he immediately felt that his work was full of meaning.
So, they began to plan to have an actor audition before the year and one after the year.
This news also flew all over the agent circle like wings, and everyone knows that He Fang's next two movies are going to be fully auditioned.
And I heard that one of them is a literary film that is going to win awards, and the other is a 3D special effects blockbuster, which are all good resources.
Where's the prize again? That's for sure, otherwise why did you win the copyright of "Sunspots", why did you shoot it yourself? Isn't it just for the sake of the prize?
Some people may have to question, where are you not opposing the author's film and the director-centric system? Why make an award-winning movie?
In fact, this is not a contradiction, the producer-centered system can't make award-winning films? How were those award-winning films made in the seventies and eighties? Wasn't it made with the support of the studio? Isn't the studio model a producer-centric system?
So how did those award-winning Hollywood movies come about? Didn't you make it up with an independent producer? There is a very famous person in the United States named Harvey Weinstein, how many award-winning movies have come out of his hands? Famous all over the world. But he's a producer, not a director.
Therefore, making an award-winning movie does not necessarily have to be an author's film under the director-centered system, or it can also be an award-winning film with a complete and well-planned script under the producer-centered system.
Moreover, "Scorching Sun" is a good literary film that does not criticize the system, does not criticize culture, and only tells about human nature, which is more in line with the review standards, and also meets the standards in He Fang's own heart.
On January 26th, "Scorching Sun" will be auditioned in Beijing, and the location is in the Zhuo Jin Bandai International Villa that He Fang bought, which is now the Beijing office of Tuanhuo Culture.
But it also happened that on this day, on January 25, Chinese time, US time, the 83rd Academy Awards announced the nominations for this award.
"Single Zoo" received two nominations, for Best Foreign Language Film, and for Best Original Screenplay.
It's the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass!
