Chapter 295 First come five crew members(1/2)
After talking a few words with Godfather Chen, Cao Yu handed over the full power of the construction of the film and television city to the other party.
There is no way, it’s not OK to leave it to the other party. Cao Yu completely doesn’t understand ancient architecture.
Fortunately, with Liu Yifei's face, Godfather Chen would not cheat him.
And Godfather Chen is not just not cheating him! That is to treat this project as Liu Yifei's dowry.
He is looking for the top ancient building design masters in China, strictly controlling building materials, and working for Cao Yu almost at a cost price.
~~
With the land, the film and television city on the land has a clue. The only thing Cao Yu has to do at the moment is to feel like he will pull the crew up.
This time Cao Yu did not ask Jerry to directly recruit people from Hollywood.
Although it was very concise and efficient to ask Jerry to recruit all the crew for him, it was very concise and efficient. After all, the title of Hollywood movie factory is not something to be covered.
But one thing is bad, that is, it is too expensive.
Not to mention the high salary of all Hollywood practitioners, they only work for eight hours a day.
This situation is completely undesirable for Cao Yu at present.
After all, if he invested $1.5 billion, he would spend half of the investment just by investing in land. If the remaining money was done, he would basically not have half of the remaining money to do the first few phases of the film and television city.
In other words, the funds Cao Yu could use for filming at most were only one-quarter of the total investment, which was about 37 million US dollars.
If you hire a professional Hollywood team to do this money, you basically don’t think about making a movie. If you can create a “unfinished film” similar to “unfinished buildings”, it will be a very good result.
But Cao Yu couldn't make a bad ending movie at the end.
Not to mention whether those big guys who were fooled by him on the lawn of his villa would let him go, they were planning to deduct money from these big guys and cover up their own film and television city.
Cao Yu has created an unfinished film.
So Cao Yu has only one path at present, and he dares to do this and has long thought of it.
Find a cheap and beautiful crew to work.
When it comes to cheap and beautiful things, at this time, no country can be cheaper and more beautiful than China's manufacturing.
Of course, you get what you pay for, and the price of cheap and beautiful goods is not without. Otherwise, if everyone comes to cheap and beautiful goods, no one will be high-end.
The price of cheap and beautiful things is that the crew of cheap and beautiful things cannot work like the top Hollywood crew today.
It's like a screw that costs one dollar, and a screw that costs one hundred dollars, looks the same, but the quality is completely different.
However, although the crew with cheap and beautiful things cannot work like the top Hollywood crew, the crew of these days has not yet entered the high-speed rail aircraft mode.
Even Hollywood, which has a world-wide film factory, its top crew is still a coal-burning furnace level crew, and the train runs fast, all depends on the locomotive level.
Cao Yu has two locomotives who run very fast - Wen Ziren and Lin Yishan, although one of them has been addicted to art films recently.
But Cao Yu is not a double driving, and it is enough to have Lin Yishan as the locomotive.
In addition, Cao Yu is also preparing to take this opportunity to create a group of elite crew members for himself.
After all, the film and television practitioners who were recruited indiscriminately from the Magic City Film and Television Academy cannot be raised in vain!
"Go to the office building rented by the Bonfire Film and Television Company in the Magic City."
Cao Yu entered the car, ordered the driver, then turned to Jerry and asked, "Jerry, you have always watched the bonfire in the Magic City. How is the situation recently? How are the income and expenditure?"
As his agent, or now more like one of his omnipotent secretary, naturally, Cao Yu would not care about him except to let him "let go", otherwise Cao Yu would take him with him at any time, no matter where he went.
However, this time when Cao Yu returned to China, although he took Jerry with him, he did not let Jerry participate in his plan to make money by making money throughout the whole process, but just let Jerry carry him in the car.
It’s not that Cao Yu can’t trust Jerry! It’s mainly…
Well, I can't believe Jerry.
But this cannot be blamed for Cao Yu for being suspicious. After all, this kind of involvement is huge and its moves are a bit dirty. It is better to have fewer people to know.
Jerry, who had been waiting for Cao Yu in the car, immediately lowered his head and thought for a moment when he heard Cao Yu ask.
Although he was watching here all the time, he did not pay attention to it. After all, this opening is just a video website, and the employees of thousands of people are not worth much.
Fortunately, he didn't have much work to take charge. Before he could gather the crew, there were only five people in North American Bonfire Film and Television.
Two big directors in the world, a pair of bosses and ladies, this is something he cannot control at the moment.
There is also a Satomi Ishihara, who doesn’t need to worry about now.
Because the other party recently relied on the title of supporting role in [Attack on Titan], he became the only Japanese actor to make a name for himself in Hollywood. Then, he returned to China and directly became the top ranks of Japanese domestic actors - big-name actresses, and he was also one of the most popular ones.
There is no way, the people in Japan are educated by the Free American fathers with garrisons, which really lacks public confidence.
Satomi Ishihara is the only international actor in Japan (although Satomi Ishihara is only an international second-rate actor at present, but she can't stand the current actor industry in Japan, and she doesn't even have a third-rate international star). She is not ugly, and she has Cao Yu, the backer behind her.
That was really a glorious place. He was so proud that he was holding money and his hands were about to cramp.
So recently, the dump truck driver Jerry is really not very busy and has no job.
Therefore, although I didn't care much about the situation of the bonfire in the Magic City, I still understand the general situation.
As soon as Cao Yu asked a question and thought for a while, Jerry returned the situation of the bonfire in the Demon City that he knew to Cao Yu.
"I'll introduce it from the recent project of the Magic City Bonfire!" Jerry asked.
Cao Yu nodded. This introduction is the most intuitive.
"First of all, the video website plan formulated by the Magic City Bonfire was developed from the beginning. It is developing well now. With the joint efforts of more than a thousand Moduo Film and Television College graduates, the current traffic of the Bonfire video website is the largest among similar video websites, and it has opened up several times the gap in the second place."
"Huh? Is the gap so big?" Cao Yu was a little surprised. After all, he felt that with professionals such as graduates from the Magic City Film and Television Academy, the Bonfire Video website should be able to be able to do it and should also be able to be the number one in the industry.
After all, the content of other video websites is made by grassroots or ordinary people, using non-professional equipment and skills. How can it be compared with the bonfire video website?
But he did not expect that he could be several times higher than the second. After all, with the acquisition of North American oil pipes at high prices, many big video websites have emerged in China, such as Potato, Qiyi, and Sohu. These video websites are not weak.
Hearing Cao Yu's doubts, Jerry explained confidently: "This is natural. The video contents on our bonfire video website have been dealt with anti-pirated versions, and others cannot steal them. In addition, the professionalism and entertainment of our videos are far beyond other video websites.
And as we gradually became famous, the Matthew effect was created - the strong will always be strong.
At present, Bonfire Video Website, in terms of size and other aspects, is better than other video websites."
"That's how it works!"
Cao Yu still understood the Matthew effect of the Internet, so he nodded and asked Jerry to continue talking.
"But the video website is becoming more and more prosperous, and the investment in servers is getting bigger. In addition, we can charge less places for video websites in the early stage, so the video website project alone is a loss. In addition, the salary expenses of the company's thousand numbers and regular expenses, the Magic City Bonfire has a lot of accounts.
But it doesn't matter, and you reminded me of this from the beginning. At the same time, the [Xianjian] project created by the Magic City Bonfire made money and made a big profit.
After offsetting the company's accounts, there were still thousands of RMB of funds left. It is estimated that with this fund, Bonfire Film and Television can support it for another two years.
However, at that time, the company did nothing, and the company could not have been there to lose money, so we have formulated plans for shooting multiple TV series this year and are currently preparing scripts.
The script will be ready in a few days, and I'm going to send it to you for approval!"
After hearing Jerry's words, Cao Yu would have no feeling about money if he had not made money, he would have been stunned at this time.
He knew that [Xianjian] made money, but he didn't expect to make money so much!
No wonder Candy Man won’t let go when he held Hu Ge, and the Fairy Sword Series was even more complete.
How can you really make money!
Although this money is a small amount of money for Cao Yu today, who is so unhappy to be able to make money!
After pondering for a while, Cao Yu looked up and said, "Well, you can draw a group of top employees from the bonfire of the Magic City. The number of people is almost enough to support the number of three crew members. No, draw out the number of people from five crew members! Put all of these people into my new project [Jinyiwei]."
"ah!"
Jerry was surprised and said in a hurry: "These people can be pulled out, but their level is not enough to shoot [Embroidered Uniform Guard], [Embroidered Uniform Guard] is a big A-level production! You ask them to come and shoot, what should I do if I smash it at that time?
It’s better not to do this! And the number of people in this team is too much! The number of people in the five teams is about 300, or even 400 people. They are all top players. They will be removed and will affect the bonfire video website.”
"It's okay, it will affect it. Originally, the bonfire video was made and played casually. The foundation of the bonfire in the Magic City is still in the film and television company, and in terms of crew strength!" Cao Yu waved his hand, ignored Jerry's slight opposition, and was considered to have given this matter.
It’s not that Cao Yu ordered troops randomly, but that this really needed.
Cao Yu was able to pull Lin Yishan over and help him lead a powerful crew, two powerful crews.
Lin Yishan would not complain, after all, Cao Yu gave the money.
But the time required for each one to come is comparable to the one-time completion!
Moreover, Cao Yu cannot always use a Hollywood director as an instructor.
So it would be better to be in place at once and bring out the foundation of five crews. It would just temporarily affect the bonfire video, and at the beginning it would just make Lin Yishan busy and spend more time. Anyway, he wasn't busy.
And if you create more talents from five crew members, you won’t be afraid of others poaching.
After all, there are five talents in a position, and Cao Yu is not that stingy person, so the salary he gives is the top in the circle - although the top salary in the circle is currently less than one-tenth of that in Hollywood.
If someone else can dig one, it doesn’t matter. If someone else can dig three, it will hurt, but Cao Yu still doesn’t matter. After all, he still has one to use and another spare tire.
I talked to Jerry about the situation of the bonfire in the Magic City, and the car arrived under the office building rented by the bonfire film and television company of the Magic City.
This was contacted by President Liu of the Modu Film and Television Academy at that time. It was very close to the Modu Film and Television Academy, so Cao Yu had just got off the car and had not yet appeared. When someone saw a vast bodyguard group there, he knew that it was Cao Yu who came. He excitedly took photos and showed off his friends.
There is no way. At present, China can hire a bodyguard of this size and need such a bodyguard against demons. There is no other part-time, only Cao Yu and his family.
And as Cao Yu's reputation grew bigger and bigger, the global scope has expanded, Cao Yu's bodyguard team has changed from the beginning to the current three-color colorful ones.
