Because Mr. Chen also serves as the artist director, Yuan Qiaoqiao brought Wang Baoqiao to Xinyuan and brought him in front of her.
Seeing Wang Baoqi standing in front, Mr. Chen just felt a heart attack. However, with the example of Huang Bo in front of her, she didn't think Wang Bao'er was "mud that couldn't stand up to the wall", but she was still a bit frustrated.
When the staff took her away to go through the signing process, she smiled and said; "Qiaoqiao, although I have always said that an artist's appearance does not need to be too good, as long as he has characteristics and memorable points, he is guaranteed to leave a deep impression on the audience. It is enough to be remembered, but relatively speaking, it is actually easier for artists with good looks to stand out. Otherwise, when major art schools recruit students every year, handsome men and beautiful women will not be the majority.
Currently, Xinyuan is in urgent need of a first brother and a sister who can take on their own roles, but the person you brought back probably needs to accumulate some resources, or even be lucky enough to find the right role to become popular. Otherwise, there really is no chance of playing the leading role. Chance.
Therefore, for current artists, there is no need to recruit everyone according to the roles of "Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo, Chou" in a play, only Xiaosheng and Huadan are enough. If there are not enough left, a large number of outdated or aging actors in the market can gather them together, and there is no need to deliberately recruit them. "
Yuan Qiaoqiao understood what she meant and hurriedly explained: "Sister Chen, I didn't want to put together a whole drama. I just accidentally saw them outside and felt that they had great potential. I thought, 'The good news will not go to outsiders. ¡¯, I introduced them to Xinyuan. If you don¡¯t want to sign them, I can let Xinyu next door take over.¡±
Because he had many brokerage contracts with Hong Kong artists in the Mainland, and also implemented Yuan Qiaoqiao's work of supporting and supporting mainland art films, independent films and unknown new directors, Xinyu even got a job next door to Xinyuan Due to business reasons, the office is no less busy than Xinyuan.
Although Gu Huxin didn't tell anyone from Xinyuan, from her attitude, they guessed that Xinyu had a close relationship with her, and that it was her company if things went wrong. The two film and television companies belonged to the same boss, even if the business was The emphasis is different, but deep down there is always a feeling of comparison. Therefore, the employees of the two companies, especially the senior management, are secretly competing in their hearts.
After hearing what she said, Mr. Chen hurriedly said: "No, actually I don't mean to complain, I'm just a little impatient. After all, the artists signed by the company have spent so many resources on it, and there is no chance of them leaving the industry"
Gu Huxin, who was walking over with a notebook, saw the two of them and greeted them: "Xiao Chen, Qiaoqiao, if you have anything to say, you two can talk about it later. Hurry to the conference room for a meeting."
The two agreed and followed her to the conference room, where Mr. Tan was already there.
After everyone had arrived, Mr. Tan sat at the main seat in the conference room and said with a serious face: "Xinyuan has reached a strategic cooperation with Hainan Weiwei before. This time it has released a movie by the famous Xiangjiang writer Ni Kuang. The play "Young King" was adapted from the science fiction novel "Wesley".
Because it has opened two dramas, "Crystal Love" and "Lee Wei's Official", at the same time, the funds are a bit difficult to turn over, so we discussed with us that we want Xinyuan to spend more on the investment in "Young King" , in this case, when the Finance Department is connecting with the other party, the Commerce Department will have to keep up. If we spend more money, the benefits will naturally be redistributed. "
As the general manager of the makeup department, Shi Yanqin said, ¡°I want to say a few words, not to complain, but I think something is wrong.
Since it is a collaboration, there should be some back-and-forth, but what I see is that, except for the screenwriting aspect, after our screenwriting center went to study with its Pumpkin Screenwriting Center for a period of time, in other aspects, except for paying Other than that, no one has any use for us.
We are relatively weak in front of the stage, but behind the scenes, not to brag, our level of makeup, styling and clothing is definitely top-notch in the industry, but Weichen would rather spend a lot of money to hire a team from Hong Kong and Taiwan to do it. Refuse to use us. "
Gu Huxin, who was attending the audience, thought that when later generations of netizens complained about the style of Hainan Weiwei, they would always describe it as third-rate or inferior. Indeed, apart from the Qing Dynasty's special costumes, Weiwei's drama is different from other dynasties and cannot be easily changed. In addition, in other dynasty dramas, the audience cannot tell the dynasty from them, and the styles of fantasy dramas and martial arts dramas are so wild that there is not even a trace of our country's traditional culture in them.
The financial manager then said: "The price of the Hong Kong and Taiwan team is much higher than that of our mainland, and the production cost has increased a lot. If we can control this, we can save a lot of money."
Mr. Chen, who had been a producer and knew the tricks involved, sneered: "The prices in Xiangjiang are indeed not low, but the production fees in Taiwan are very low. If they don't raise prices at home, they will charge higher prices when they get to the mainland." After several times, they just slaughtered us mainlanders.
Besides, just like artThe prices for self-produced dramas and foreign dramas are not the same. As a Taiwanese, we definitely get a discount when hiring them, but the fee quoted to us is probably par.
Moreover, we have collaborated on several dramas together, but so far, only one actress from our company has been used, and the role given is that of a third female lead. Have all the actors for the "Young King" been decided this time? There are no people from our company. Every time I call to ask, they apologize to me and say that the actors have been decided. It is inappropriate to compare our artists with others. I will wait for the next time to cooperate, but this time it seems Nowhere in sight.
Therefore, I feel that there is really no need to continue this cooperation. Instead, it is better to be a pure investor directly and simply get the benefits transferred as a partner, which saves worry, trouble, and less anger. "
Her words immediately aroused a discussion. Everyone was whispering among themselves, and there were actually many people who supported her.
Mr. Tan tapped the table with his fingers a few times to signal everyone to quiet down, and then said: "We will discuss after the meeting whether to terminate the cooperation with Weiwei.
Whether you are a partner or a simple investor, at least the drama "Young King" has investment value. "
Taking out an analysis report from the folder at hand, she looked at the report and said: "Because our screenwriters also participated in the screenwriting work of the drama "Young King", this is a report they gave me, saying Although this drama is claimed to be adapted from the novel "Wesley", in fact, except for the protagonist's name, which has the same name as the character in the original novel, the rest can be said to have nothing to do with it. The adaptation is quite outrageous and a bit deviated from the original novel. "
"This is not a big problem." Yuan Qiaoqiao saw that the participants were silent and said, "Although there are a small group of dedicated readers of science fiction in China, there is currently no such soil in the country, so many people may not actually read it. I have read the novel "Wesley". And people who watch TV only care about whether the drama is well shot, not whether it is the same as the original work."
"Because this kind of science fiction drama has been relatively rare in China in the past, it is difficult to give an example, but everyone should have heard of the two dramas "Journey to the West" and "Springs Are Beautiful" that were broadcast in the millennium.
Although these two dramas have average or even low reputations, their ratings are very high, and the latter can even be said to be a hit drama.
Speaking of which, the content of these two dramas is relatively nonsensical, but judging from the outline of the story, the general framework is still okay, and the logic can generally be rounded out.
The story of "Journey to the West" is a household name and is suitable for people of all ages. However, because "Journey to the West", one of the four famous classics, has been filmed and is constantly being replayed on TV stations, it is impossible to reshoot it in a short time. Therefore, reframing a story requires only the storyline. If it is novel enough, it will attract the audience.
In fact, dramas such as science fiction dramas and fairy tale dramas are completely divorced from reality. Whether it is a movie or a TV series, no matter how absurd, unreliable or unreasonable the story is, as long as the front and back can be reconciled, then it will work. no problem.
Before these two dramas, no one in the mainland had written or compiled stories like this before, but Xiangjiang had already done this for a long time. The movies "Journey to the West: Moonlight Box" and "Journey to the West: The Marriage of the Monkey King" that Zhou Yuanchi made in the past few years are similar to the situations of these two movies. Judging from the subsequent situation, the public's acceptance of them is still quite high. of.
So it¡¯s not important whether the drama ¡°Young King¡± is consistent with the original work. What¡¯s important is how is the new story adapted? Is it attractive enough? "
Regarding what Yuan Qiaoqiao said, the Xigua Screenwriting Center¡¯s report did not mention it. It¡¯s not that they don¡¯t want to write, but they can¡¯t write because compared with the Pumpkin Screenwriting Center in Weiwei, they are a group that has not been tested by the market. Although Weichen Pumpkin has not written a hit drama, the popular fantasy drama "Water Moon Cave Sky" that was previously aired was written by them, and they are more confident than them.
Gu Huxin, who was sitting aside and listening quietly without expressing an opinion, finally spoke, "Mr. Tan, I think the drama "Young King" is worth investing in. If so, how much should be invested? Should this matter be put aside?" From the perspective of whether we and Weiwei are strategic cooperation or simply investors, whether the cooperation between Xinyuan and Weiwei will continue is the current focus.
Rather than discussing this matter after the meeting, discuss it directly at the meeting and come up with a result. "
Mr. Tan glanced at Yuan Qiaoqiao, who was sitting on her left, and explained: "I have no intention of dragging this matter out. Our first self-made drama in Xinyuan will be broadcast in two days. I The original plan was to make a decision based on the broadcast situation after the self-made drama was aired.
After all, let Weichen use our actors, use our behind-the-scenes makeup, costumes and styles. These things can actually be discussed, but the quality of the self-made dramas is the key to determine the direction of Xinyuan in the future. . "
Her words won unanimous agreement from everyone, so they all agreed to postpone the matter until after the time-travel drama was aired, which inadvertently added a lot of pressure to Yuan Qiaoqiao, who was already under great pressure.
