Chapter 583: It seems unreasonable not to take 1 billion
"This isn't even a movie! I feel embarrassed even making this kind of movie."
"'Where Are We Going, Dad?' sold 690 million at the box office. How can we throw away 690 million for shame? If it could really have such an effect, I really want to lose this guy." As the chief director of "Running Man", he is also the deputy director of variety shows remotely.
President, Lu Hao strongly disagrees with this view, "Our "Running Man" became popular first, but we didn't expect that we would have lost our first-mover advantage in variety movies. If we don't catch up, we won't even be able to drink soup in variety movies."
superior."
The remote variety show maintains five golden programs, which brings a lot of profits to the company every year and is very popular within the company.
"The three major elements of a movie: theme, story, and characters. Which one should you consider in a variety show movie?"
"You don't care what it is, "Where Are We Going, Dad" is a documentary prepared by the General Administration. Why can't we do that?" Lu Hao will definitely not follow the idea of traditional feature films. "I have received news that Mango Channel will also be filming this year.
We want to make the second big movie of "Where Are We Going, Dad".
"Is this market just going to be handed over to him?"
"What kind of criticism did people get when the movie "Where Are We Going, Dad" was released last year?"
"Is there anyone who can make a movie without getting scolded?"
The production department and the variety show department were arguing in Guo Fei's office. Guo Fei was drinking tea while looking at the two bosses without saying a word.
In fact, she already had an answer to this question.
Producers and directors look at a movie from different perspectives.
The director may care more about dramatic conflict and artistic expression, but the producer pays more attention to market feedback.
This is why Guo Fei decided to invest in "Little Times" even though she knew that Guo Jingming had a bad reputation. What she saw was Guo Jingming's huge fan appeal.
She bet that "Tiny Times" would make money.
Guo Fei was born as a director. After filming two TV series for the company, he felt that his artistic talent was limited, so he decided to work behind the scenes.
"Okay." Guo Fei put down his water glass and put an end to the dispute between the two bosses. "Although the variety show film industry has not received a good response and is quite controversial in the industry, the General Administration has not explicitly stopped it..."
After hearing this, Lu Hao knew that he had won the debate today.
"I think what Lao Lu said makes sense. Variety movies do not violate social order and good customs, nor do they spread fallacies. If "Where Are We Going, Dad" can be done, why can't we do it."
"That's right." Lu Hao agreed.
"Anyway, recording an episode of "Running Man" doesn't cost much time or money, and with the popularity of variety shows, the movie will be very popular without much promotion. I support making an episode this year."
"Thank you Mr. Guo."
Guo Fei did this because he felt that variety movies do have some benefits, and secondly, it also gave reassurance to the variety department.
The variety show department works hard and makes a lot of money, but everyone knows that the core business of Yuan Yuan is film and television creation. The variety show department is not eye-catching in the eyes of the outside world. Guo Fei's move is also to coordinate with the company's strategic development.
After talking about the movie "Running Man", Guo Fei asked the vice president of production to leave first. She had something to talk to Lu Hao privately.
"The company has been having news this year that I haven't had time to tell your department. It happened to be decided at a meeting yesterday, so I might as well tell you."
"You say."
"We all see the contribution of the variety show department. It is indeed a major contributor to the company's development."
Lu Hao smiled and said, "The company has decided to give us a salary increase?"
Guo Fei smiled and said: "The salary in your department is already the highest in the industry, do you want to increase it?"
"Who would think that the money is too little?" Lu Hao said.
Guo Fei continued: "I have better news than a salary increase. The company has decided to spin off your department next year, which will be called Remote Entertainment, and you will be the chairman."
"Really!" This is really great news.
The Remote Variety Show Department is not affiliated with Remote Film and Television, and its organizational relationship has always been with the headquarters of Remote Media Group.
Therefore, remote variety shows have never had their own independent labels, which is why remote variety shows have always been ignored.
With this split, remote variety shows will gain greater development opportunities.
At this point, Distance Media Group has spun off all business departments.
It truly realizes group operation and management.
Remote Culture (artist management), Remote Entertainment (variety show), Remote Technology, Tiangong Yicai, Biantian Animation, Tudou Technology, and Yuanqiu Pictures (Jiahe Cinema Line) constitute the seven major territories of Remote Media Group.
In the future, Yuanyuan Technology will also move towards group management and will split Weibo, Taopiaopiao and the game department at the appropriate time.
"The good news has been given to you. Work hard these two years, produce decent results, and don't tarnish the long-distance brand." Guo Fei said with a smile.
"I will definitely live up to the trust of the organization." Lu Hao said seriously.

This year’s National Day film schedule gives domestic films a lot of face.
On September 30, "The Flowers of the Heart" was released. The investment in this movie is not large, but the market is very promising. Ning Hao, Huang Bo, Xu Shanzheng, Yang Mi, Nini, and Zhou Dongyu, this lineup successfully made the movie get a ladder.
On the National Day the next day, there were also three movies worth paying attention to.
"Ruffian Heroes: Dawn Rises", "Golden Age" and "Quiba 3: The Rise of God of War".
Not a single Hollywood blockbuster was released during the entire holiday.
"Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Ice Age 2" are both scheduled for after the holidays.
They hope that domestically produced films can boost the market.
After Cheng Yu'an finished her work on "The Wandering Earth" today, she took time out to go to the premiere of "Beautiful Heart" in the evening.
When Cheng Yu'an arrived at the venue, the film screening had ended, and the main creator was having a brief exchange with the media and the audience.
Yang Mi said: "When Ning Hao came to me and asked me to play a role, I didn't even read the script and signed the contract without saying anything. I didn't know until I got the script that I was going to play such a role."
The reporter asked her: "The image of Shasha is different from the roles you have played before. Are you worried that fans will not accept it?"
Yang Mi is very "generous": "I believe in Director Ning Hao 100%. Actors should leave all of themselves to the director. If you are worried about this and that, you will not be able to make a good film."
Yang Mi has a heavy idol burden, and she was really worried every day during her time on the set that her fans wouldn't like Sasha.
It ruined her image so much, and she had to talk about plastic surgery in the scene. She spent a long time mentally building herself up to finish the scene well.
Ning Hao also praised Yang Mi at the right time: "Yang Mi is really a very good actor. I was really worried at first that she would not be able to let go of the burden of being a beauty. After all, such a beautiful girl has to play a role like Shasha. Later, in
On the set, Yang Mi gave me a lot of surprises. Sometimes I thought it was enough, but she felt that she could do better, so she would take the initiative to do another one."
Each of the main creators told some interesting stories about the crew. Finally, the reporter caught Cheng Yu'an, who was late, and asked him to say a few words about "Heart Blossoms".
Cheng Yu'an smiled and said: "I'm just here to make a living. Ning Hao spent a lot of energy and thought on this movie. Of course I hope the market can give him positive feedback."
"So how much box office do you think the movie will get?"
