Chapter 72 The Commercial Pursuit of Literary Films(1/2)

"No wonder, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds."

Sitting opposite Li Xianyun, Xuan Dong smiled without surprise.

"Is there any? I don't think Yisheng Media is so big now." Li Xianyun was confused.

Xuan Dong spread his hands: "That depends on whom he can compare with. Even if he can make movies in batches, even if he is a big Internet company, he can be considered a big company."

"Let's do it, the problem now is how to solve it." Li Xianyun leaned against the boss's chair and said: "In Jiangcheng Film and Television, we are dissatisfied with the film and television base, we have already started to stumbling. The daily business of the late-production department of Yisheng Media has been affected. If it weren't for the old ghost's Tongtianji, we would have definitely suffered losses this year."

"We can't blame them all. We did a lot of things for us later." Xuan Dongdao.

"But you can't always expect your own output to live." Li Xianyun rubbed his temples: "The film and television atmosphere in Jiangcheng is not as good as the capital and the Demon City after all. What do you think? Set up two offices in the capital and the Demon City to undertake the business there."

Xuan Dong thought for a while and said, "The first phase of the ghost town can be completed at the end of the year, and it will be opened for trial business at that time. With the help of our own film and television base, we can also undertake business. Is it necessary to do this?"

Li Xianyun shook his head: "I think it is necessary. Everything is difficult at the beginning. It is not easy to make a name for the ghost city just started. Although what the old ghost said to me at the beginning was to reduce the price, it is generally correct. Building an office in the capital and the Magic City can not only accept later business, but also the ghost city business, but also enhance cooperation with other film and television companies and further sell special effects."

At this stage, special effects are the main focus of Yisheng Media's profits. The decisive battle between Sky City and God Killing can easily get 60 million.

Since we have decided to sell special effects, of course we have to sell them openly.

Jiangcheng Film and Television blocks me? It doesn’t matter, I won’t argue with you. It won’t be brighter in the south, and the north is brighter in the north.

Good opponents are used to squeeze their own potential. Without them, Li Xianyun would never have thought of this.

Xuan Dong nodded in his ear: "That's right. After all, we should do it first. It's time to lay off the ground if we don't need it. I have no objection. Otherwise, I'll leave it to Dou Lingling?"

"No!" Li Xianyun immediately objected: "Dou Lingling is very capable, but she is not reliable. Now she controls artists. If she is asked to control the business again, then Yisheng Media will have to look at her expression."

Hearing this, Xuan Dong smiled.

He laughed because Li Xianyun has become more and more bossy, his thoughts are becoming more mature, and his ideas are more insightful.

Xuan Dongdao: "Okay, just recruit people directly from the local area. I happened to know a few friends in China and I dug them up directly."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Li Xianyun continued: "By the way, I actually have a responsibility for this matter. Zhao Yunyang asked Liu Li to tell the story, which is not good. This time Liu Li admitted it. Next time I change someone, I will just say: I don't know if there is this matter. I didn't hear it, what should I do?"

Xuan Dong nodded: "We still need to strengthen the process, and some things must be reported in writing."

"But everything depends on the process, it is not good." Li Xianyun said.

The stronger the process, the lower the efficiency.

A problem that can be solved by just a verbal remark, and Isn’t it a problem to make a report? There are a lot of things in the company, and everything is reported and applied for. Should I do this work?

Do you have to go to the toilet?

However, companies cannot always rely on self-consciousness. Idiots will make mistakes, and smart people will make mistakes. Compared with idiots' mistakes, smart people's problems are more difficult to detect and the consequences are even more serious.

At this moment, Li Xianyun and Xuan Dong discussed for a while, but after all, Li Xianyun said: "For simple things like this, there is still no need to follow the process, but the communication link must be strengthened."

Xuan Dong asked: "Don't you already have a corporate group?"

"The problem is that they didn't say this in the group, maybe they had concerns." Li Xianyun discovered that the sequelae of the method of slapping the table was that some of the words employees dare not say.

This is the contradiction.

The boss is too polite. People are not afraid of you, and no one listens to what they say; they are too fierce, so they are afraid of it, and no one dares to speak about the problem.

Thinking of this, Li Xianyun said: "We have to give them a platform for smooth speech. Enterprises must have systems and humanity. What do you think about building an intranet?"

Large companies generally have intranets, which mainly facilitates employees to open their hearts. To put it bluntly, it allows superiors to better obtain grassroots information.

"Just do it now? Isn't it a little early?" Xuan Dong disagreed.

Only large enterprises need to do this, but small enterprises are no longer necessary.

But Li Xianyun didn't think so. He shook his head and said, "It's not that there is an intranet, and there will definitely be many problems. Now it's better to find out earlier. The company is profitable now, so there is no problem with this cost. In addition, tell Zhao Yunyang that if the boss of Te Niang didn't say anything, would he not ask again? He is now a department manager and is so cowardly, no wonder the director did not do well at the beginning."

Zhao Yunyang is a little weak in character, and Zhao Yunyang is indeed responsible for this matter - Boss Li himself showed his domineering spirit, and he began to feel that his subordinates were too weak.

Selective forgetting--the one who is not cowardly has been fired by him.

"Okay, I'll go back and arrange it and chat with Zhao Yunyang." Xuan Dong nodded.

"Don't just let Lao Liu come, he is still very good at enlightening people."

"As long as you don't drink." Xuan Dong laughed.

The two discussed the company's current problems for a while, and then they got busy.

Today, Huayou has news.

The theater they agreed that could be started.

This theater was last agreed by Huayou and Li Xianyun, with a director fee of one million plus a box office of 5%. By the way, it also took the initiative to repay the remaining 10 million debt.

However, because of this, Li Xianyun has no right to choose the script.

The content was decided by Huayou. At most, he would like to make revisions. He would be like a real director who would work with money and do his part.

Li Xianyun is very acceptable to this.

His status was lower than this when he was in the God-killing crew.

Leaving the company to Liu Yijiang and Xuan Dong, Li Xianyun started to find fault with the Chaoying series - it would be impossible not to find it, it would be idle too. If you don’t find anything for them, they will have to urge you to turn around. When will the boss start work?

Li Xianyun can't say: You guys wait, I'll work for someone else first, boss.

OK, improve the quality.

Li Xianyun is full of enthusiasm and looks forward to showing off his skills and applying the aesthetics he has learned from Zhang Damu.

Two days later, I finally waited for the script of my friend who came to China.

When Li Xianyun saw it, his nose was crooked - he finally understood why Huayou was so generous this time.

He picked up the phone and called Yang Yuan directly. Li Xianyun said bluntly: "Old Yang, isn't it so mean to cheat people, right?"

Yang Yuan laughed: "Have you read the script?"

"Nonsense!" Li Xianyun cursed directly: "I said why are you so generous? Give me such a trash script? Let me guess, this time it's pure foreign capital, right? How much money have you cheated?"

The reason why Li Xianyun was angry was because this script actually was a story about the inner journey of a mentally ill person.

Listen to this subject, it’s a true literary film!

The problem is that if you really want to shoot art films, it’s fine, but what you actually want to shoot is a commercial film.

This matter is nonsense.

Commercial films are about making money, who can watch the story of mental illness?

Especially the script is so bad that it can only be revised slightly but not changed a lot.

Yang Yuan cried out: "Heaven and earth are in a conscience. We just sell resources and don't cheat money. They are supervising it. The script is also requested by the investors."

It's true.

Li Xianyun guessed it in one go.

This is the same as Rong Dasheng and his friends' experience in filming. They are all led by the will of investors.

What Li Xianyun didn't expect was that he would encounter such a story.

It is also a large enterprise in Nanhai Province, and is willing to spend 40 million to film a story about a mentally ill person.

The world is the biggest investors. No matter how awesome Huayou is, they can’t help but end up choosing to accept this book. All the money is paid by investors. To put it bluntly, Huayou is selling resources to make a fortune.

Of course, in order to coax investors, they actually account for 15% of the shares.

Five percent of this is for Li Xianyun.

This explains why they are so generous.

Such a film, with an investment of 40 million yuan, can be sold for 4 million yuan, and it is a good director, so it is not surprising that it sells 400,000 yuan.

If the theater chain is forced to make a fuss, it is not uncommon to sell it online. After all, it costs money to enter the theater. Once the threshold is high, the lower limit is lower. A theater chain can sell a box office of several hundred yuan.

Most of the most trashy websites are not like this.

The lower limit of the network is higher than that of the theater chain, but the upper limit cannot match the theater chain.

Huayou, the appeaser, just took 15% of the shares, saying that we share the honor and disgrace with you, and we also hope to make the film well. In fact, these fifteen points are not worth a single point, and it is not a pity to send them all out.

They also didn't want to have a quarrel with Li Xianyun, so they gave Li Xianyun a million director fee.

As for why we asked Li Xianyun for this matter, the same reason is to put it bluntly.

A commercial film with literary theme is just like a BMW car-mounted Mercedes-Benz logo. The director of the art film doesn't like it, and the director of the commercial film doesn't care about the account.

The investor looks down on the small director, and the big director looks down on the investor.

No up or down or down, no left or right.

After measuring Huayou, he found: Hey? Li Xianyun is very suitable.

He is suitable not because he has good skills, but because he is the boss of a film and television company.

Generally, if a director makes a bad movie, he may lose his job for his whole life.

Li Xianyun is not afraid. As long as his company makes money, he doesn’t have to worry about making ten bad movies.

But not being afraid of losing is one thing, and whether you are willing to lose is another thing.
