Chapter 273 Company Arrangements and Return to Hollywood
After Cao Yu ordered the task, Jerry moved quickly.
In just three days, Jerry pulled up the crew with some ability that Cao Yu wanted.
This rapid reaction made Cao Yu sigh at Jerry: It is really a bit insignificant to let talents like you who have a crew to work as an agent business.
But there is no way. Jerry just likes to be an agent for decoration, and he is not willing to be the head of a crew with real power.
Cao Yu originally wanted to stay in China for a few more days and arrange everything in the branch here before leaving.
However, after the discussions between the five major Hollywood stars, the release date was unanimously set on July 15th, which is only three or four months away, which means that the early publicity work will begin.
Originally, there was no need for a creative creator like Cao Yu to start the game himself.
But there is no way, the investment amount of this project is a bit too large.
And this one billion large investment was caused by Cao Yu. Now Cao Yu, a person who stabilizes the morale of the military, is not here, and the five major Hollywood sides always feel worried.
He just wanted Cao Yu to do everything himself, so after a few days when Cao Yu returned to China to hide from Hollywood paparazzi, he kept urging Cao Yu to go back quickly and insisted on the overall situation.
Cao Yu originally planned to delay it again, but his tone was getting more and more impatient and had no choice but to agree to go back quickly.
This has led to a significant reduction in his working hours at the Bonfire Film and Television Branch here.
Fortunately, Jerry is a capable guy, and Cao Yu also has a very clear plan for the company's development, so although his working hours have been shortened, he is not completely confused, and he is just a little busy.
~~
A large open-air conference room - in the square in the park near the company.
Currently, all the employees and leaders of Bonfire Film and Television China Branch are here. Cao Yu is standing on a high place, behind him is a landmark building in the park, holding a loudspeaker in his hand.
"Due to some irresistible reasons, I originally planned to leave when the company was all on track, but now I have no choice but to leave early.
But I was actually not bad when I left early or late, because the company's development has already determined its direction. I am just a good person, and it is not harmful to me if I am not here.
The company's next development depends on you.
You are all the prides of the Demon City Film and Television. After several years of learning, you have mastered professional skills, not only how proficient you are, but you have also entered the door and are able to get out of it. What is lacking in the distance from mastering is just the opportunity to exercise.
Today I will give you this opportunity.
The company has built a new video website called Bonfire Video Website.
A very simple website is to watch videos.
Your tasks are simpler and fit your profession well.
It is to use the company's equipment to shoot videos of various types and content, including long or short, and post them to the website to get clicks.
Here I would like to emphasize that click-through rate is related to your future development prospects in the company. It can be said that this is your first performance in the company.
I promise here that the top four teams of clicks will be given to them based on their rankings of four million, three million, two million and one million respectively.
Okay, I'm done." After Cao Yu put down the horn, the scene suddenly became warm and noisy.
The reason for this is mainly because of the 10 million start-up capital. After all, one million this year is a very dazzling amount.
Cao Yu's wave of his hand was ten million of real money, how could he not shock and excite these people?
~~
After drawing a pancake for these new employees who had just entered the company, Cao Yu walked down from the front of the stage.
Then he instructed Jerry: "I may not have time to write the new script, but I have a goal. Recently, there is a game company called Dayu, who wants to make a game called [Legend of Sword and Fairy] a film and television project under it.
You can talk to them. I am very optimistic about the money-making ability of the new TV series represented later in this project.
With the title of Bonfire Film and Television Company, I think the negotiation between you and Daewoo should not be difficult.
As for actors, the male and female protagonists must be selected from us to facilitate the company to make profits after the actor becomes famous. However, you must master a good degree and not over-explore your artists, but you must squeeze them reasonably.
I think Hu Ge is good for the male protagonist, and the heroine is good for the Shuyingjiang who is in school."
The male protagonist must be Hu Ge. After all, Cao Yu always felt that the success of the previous life [Immortal Sword] has little to do with his script, because except for the last dead heroine, the rest of the script is a bit awkward - what is the world sending Xiao Ling'er back to his original place, and approaching science leader Yumo was blown up by a trick of a mouth gun. Is it too irritating?
Cao Yu felt that the success of the previous life [Immortal Sword] was closely related to the freshness that Hu Ge and Liu Yifei, two handsome men and beautiful women, wore ancient costumes, brought to people's love on the screen.
Now with Liu Yifei's status, she will definitely not be able to act as the heroine in the TV series anymore, so Cao Yu changed his personal choice and chose Shuyingjiang. After all, Shuyingjiang is the one who can beat the most in terms of appearance and reputation in later generations.
Moreover, Cao Yu felt that he had to do work for Hu Ge's emotional life in this life, and he could not let Da Hu go alone until his thirties like he did in his previous life.
After the protagonist was decided, Cao Yu continued to arrange the supporting role of this project that had no script yet.
"In terms of other supporting roles, you can talk to President Liu of Modu Film and Television Academy and find some veteran actors from Modu Film and Television to help. I think it is a good solution.
The TV series is ready and needs to be sold. You can take the path of the third-grade cold, or take the normal path, or take the last [Spring Things] path. I think it is OK, but you must firmly grasp the copyright of online broadcast in your hands."
When Jerry heard Cao Yu's words, he suddenly realized that after several years of development, Cao Yu's connections in China have now reached a very complex level.
Moreover, after years of wind and rain, Cao Yu's methods in project formation, coordination and trading have become more perfect.
At this time, Cao Yu was not a film and television star. He applied for a boss of a film and television company, which was absolutely suitable.
"But the name of Bonfire Film and Television is very popular in North America. Can it be here? And this is still an empty branch?" However, Jerry has been deeply involved in the film and television industry for many years, and suddenly found a possible mistake in Cao Yu's plan and asked.
"It's okay. If Daewoo doesn't eat the title of bonfire film and television, you can learn from it, imitate and pay tribute!
Anyway, when we shoot TV series, it is best to be able to shoot genuine ones. If we can’t shoot genuine ones, we can find a popular script to polish the game and change a few names and plots. Wouldn’t it be another original?”
Cao Yu doesn't care about this.
Because Cao Yu felt that the success of the TV series [Xianjian] does not depend on the title of the Xianjian game, but is more due to the success of its fairy tale idol drama.
When Jerry heard Cao Yu's answer, he felt a little whispered: What a good guy, you can't change the plagiarism when you cooperate! It's cruel enough.
"Okay, I understand, I'll talk when I go back." Although Jerry felt that Cao Yu's operation was a bit too sixty, he also knew that Cao Yu's technique was the best, so he finally agreed.
Cao Yu thought about it again and found that after arranging these things, there was indeed nothing else to do. So he didn't say anything, but asked Jerry to leave.
"All have been arranged?" Seeing Jerry walking away from Cao Yu, Concubine Liu walked to Cao Yu and asked.
"Um."
Cao Yu nodded slowly, "I thought I would be more idle when I came back this time, but I didn't expect that I would cause trouble again and I'm working hard until now."
"That's because you can't rest in person. Look, I'm very idle!" Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows and said to Cao Yu very provocatively.
Well, looking at Liu Yifei's appearance, Cao Yu knew that he couldn't talk to her in his career.
"Let's go back to Hollywood. After nearly a year of hard work, whether it can be successful or a big failure depends on this."
After saying that, Cao Yu hugged Liu Yifei and walked towards the Demon Capital Airport.
Of course, I still took a private plane. After all, the news that [Attack on Titan] is approaching publicity is not only known, but many Hollywood media can also estimate it.
Cao Yu felt that if he dared to make a plane, the group of media who had been refused interviews many times by him would probably be able to do a crazy move to pack all the other seats of the plane.
~~
They returned to Hollywood from China in a secret way, but as soon as they got off the plane, Cao Yu and Liu Yifei were picked up by a special car sent by Walt Disney.
Seeing that the car that came to pick him up was a business car from Walt Disney, Cao Yu knew that the destination was Walt Disney's office building in Hollywood, which was where he officially signed the [Attack on Titan] contract with the five major Hollywood majors.
As soon as Cao Yu got off the car, he saw a very unusual scene.
The top five Hollywoods: Walt Disney President Iger, Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Victor, Sony Columbia President Sanforni Padge, CEO Adam Ferguson, and CEO of 20th Century Fox Rupert Mercury.
