Although Lu Xiao is not a particularly famous director, after all, Huazhang Film and Television has just started, and it is indeed difficult to attract the favor of those big directors.
After all, famous directors are much more popular than celebrities these days, and now even famous celebrities and entertainers have set up their own studios, let alone those famous directors!
In fact, not to mention the director, even if it is an actor who is a little popular now, or even not popular, but as long as he has some qualifications, to be honest, he doesn't like the small workshop of Huazhang Film and Television at all.
Basically only those who are not popular yet, who are out of breath, or pure newcomers, may jump on Yuan Hua's bandit boat without hesitation.
After all, Lu Xiao is still capable as a director, and he has his father's support behind him. After all, he is still a high-quality potential stock, and he will surely make a profit if he joins.
In fact, according to Yuan Hua's plan, the company's third film should start producing "Langya Bang".
However, after an internal assessment, the investment in "Langya Bang" started with at least 100 million yuan, and I feel that this step is still a bit too big!
In fact, the most important thing is not necessarily the problem of money. Funds can find a way, but the key is lack of experience. It is inevitable that such a big situation will be too much to catch!
One is that there are not enough talented actors and directors who are willing to join, and secondly, the production team of Huazhang Film and Television is not mature enough, so the final result may not meet expectations, and it will only waste good things in vain
So after careful consideration, Yuan Hua finally followed the advice of his subordinates and proceeded step by step. First, he came to a web drama with an investment of 50 million yuan to continue to train the team to accumulate experience, and then waited until the fourth one to appear on "Langya Bang" with a production of over 100 million yuan.
The success of such dramas as "Langya Bang", "A Thousand Bone Flowers" and "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" in the previous life is not only because of the large investment, but also has something to do with their mature production team
"Langya Bang" is a strong combination of Shanying + Noon Sunshine, "A Thousand Bones" is produced by Ciwen, "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" is led by Hua Ce, and even "Wuxin Master", which has a small investment, is good at least. Tang Ren made it.
The reason why these online dramas are so successful is because they are produced by experienced film and television companies with huge sums of money.
These well-established film and television companies have already been deeply involved in the traditional TV drama industry for many years before engaging in online dramas, and have cultivated a solid and reliable production team.
Compared with these companies, Huazhang Film and Television is still far behind.
Don't feel low when you listen to online dramas. In fact, the reason why many online dramas are not on satellite TV is not because they have not invested enough and the production is not sophisticated enough, but simply because of the "restriction of antiquity".
Of course, the funding problem is also an important bottleneck restricting the development of Huazhang Film and Television. Now the company basically has no serious income, and its development and growth are almost entirely dependent on the continuous blood transfusion of the major shareholder Yuan Hua.
Even if the company's first online drama "Prince Princess" is really a big success, it will take at least half a year to repay the proceeds
That is to say, at least in the first half of this year, the company still has no income, basically relying on Yuan Hua to make money to support such a large company.
Moreover, the company will not only produce the online drama "Remaining Sin", but also prepare to start the first film "The Unknown". Because Yuan Hua is unwilling to share the proceeds with others, Yuan Hua basically has to work on these two projects. advances.
But fortunately, Yu Zui is currently tentatively planning to shoot two seasons continuously, with a total investment of no more than 25 million; "The Unknown" tentatively plans to invest 60 million, and the total investment is only 85 million.
And it's not going to start immediately. Of course, "Remaining Sin" will start filming immediately, but "The Unknown" will have to wait until June to formally build a team. Considering Yuan Hua's earning speed, the pressure should not be too great
In addition, by the time "Nobody's Name" starts shooting in June, the previous income from "The Princess" should have already started to be paid back one after another, so it shouldn't be a big problem
Since getting the script of "Wuxin Mage", Lu Xiao has been framing scenes everywhere and racking his brains to design sub-shots, thinking about how to make this movie well
However, Lu Xiao has already joined the company after all. As a member of Huazhang Film and Television, he also has to actively make suggestions for the company, after all, this is already related to his job.
His first suggestion to Yuan Hua was:
"Boss, why don't we lure Zhang Tianai in! She has acting skills and good looks. I feel that after the show "Prince Princess" is broadcast, she will definitely be popular!"
Yuan Hua didn't directly refuse this time. After all, Lu Xiao is the confidant general he just recruited under his command.??The only talent the company can rely on.
Regardless of whether it is from a daughter-in-law or a practical point of view, he must fully respect Lu Xiaoti's first suggestion, and he can't just fool him into it, and just use it on his own to make people chill.
In fact, Yuan Hua also began to waver at this moment, after all, after he had just watched the finished product of the TV series "Prince Princess"¡ª¡ª
Even if he has watched it once and has some mental preparations, he still has to admit that Zhang Fanfan in this drama is performed so brilliantly by Zhang Tianai.
This person may have some personality problems, but her looks and acting skills are really good!
If you have to find someone who can stabilize her in appearance and acting skills among the post-90s Xiaohua for a while, it is actually not that easy to find.
I did have some prejudices and guard against her before, but that was from the perspective of an ordinary person, but now my identity has changed!
The ass determines the head. I should consider this issue more objectively from the perspective of a capitalist or the owner of a film and television company. First of all, I should judge its use value, not personal virtue.
As long as you sign her in and put her under your control, even if she wants to be a monster, there are rules and regulations and contract terms to restrain her. After all, as a reborn person, Yuan Hua must have many ways to deal with her
Thinking of this, Yuan Hua was already moved, but he still didn't fully agree:
"This the key point is that wishful thinking is useless to me. First, the other party's agency must agree to release him!
She is still a member of Xitian now, Xitian is not a small company, and we have never had any contact with Xitian, so this matter may not be easy to deal with! "
Lu Xiao immediately volunteered: "It's okay, as long as you nod, it's easy to talk about, and I'll take care of the rest for you?"
Yuan Hua asked curiously: "Do you have friendship with Xitian's boss Zhou Yanxi?"
Lu Xiao shook his head and said: "No, but my dad has a good relationship with Xitian's first sister Haiqing, I can ask her for help¡ª"
"Hai Qing", Yuan Hua pondered for a while, and suddenly realized:
"Ah, I remembered, Haiqing's debut work is your father's "Jade Guanyin", right?"
Lu Xiao nodded silently, but Yuan Hua suddenly became suspicious:
"Huh? Why are you so active in this matter? Did Zhang Tianai tell you something?"
Lu Xiao said with some embarrassment: "Thisin fact, I didn't say anything. We chatted privately. She complained that she was unhappy in Xitian. Squeeze, it's hard to get ahead in this life"
This statement is not false, after all, if Xitian is really willing to praise her, it wouldn't mean that she has been running around and failing to get a role in the past few years.
Besides, although Zhang Tianai's acting skills are not bad, she still has to be compared with others. Compared with Hai Qing, a grand slam player in TV dramas, she may not have the advantage. Indeed, as she said, it will be difficult for her to stand out if Hai Qing doesn't leave ¡
But if Yuan Hua remembers correctly, it seems that after Zhang Tianai became popular with "Prince Princess", she successfully squeezed Haiqing away and took the first sister throne.
However, it's not necessarily her who squeezed her out. It may be that Hai Qing already had the idea of ??going out and opening her own studio independently, but she just followed the trend!
But Zhang Tianai didn't open her eyes like Yuan Hua, and she didn't know that she could become a hit, and Hai Qing already planned to leave Xitian
So from her point of view, since she is not welcome in the current company, she might as well find another way to make a living. It just so happens that there is a company that is quite generous to her, and she is the heroine of a web drama.
And her director Bole Lu Xiao also just joined this company, doesn't she already have an internal support?
? Although the current scale of Huazhang Film and Television is not as large as that of Xitian Media, it is always the old saying that it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
For the time being, Huazhang Film and Television does not have any female artistes. As long as she is willing to come over, she is basically a stable first sister.
