Chapter 558: Using small things to make big things happen
"That's good. Then you should hurry up and quickly assemble the crew so that our boss Wu can join the crew as soon as possible."
"That's no problem. I've already thought about it. The lighting, the scenery, etc. Some of them were contacted by our fellow juniors and juniors, and some were introduced by them to teams that I know. They are all very reliable and have a certain level of knowledge.
Shooting experience.”
"Of course, it's not a big-name team. With my qualifications, I can't hire that kind of team. It's not a matter of money. Ms. Lan's investment is already in place, but they still don't like me.
"
"Fortunately, what I pursued for this movie was the story, not flashy things like photography or scenery. In this aspect, I don't need those big shots who show off their skills. As long as the style is plain and can faithfully reflect my requirements.
"
"So, it's enough to find these familiar teams. As you know, ours is a rural-themed movie, and it's not a high-end movie. I believe that the audience won't have too high demands on these details.
."
"However, I have a question. I hope my senior brother can explain it to me."
"Tell me, why are you so polite?"
Inexplicably, there are no outsiders here. Da Fei bit into the sesame seed cake and thought inexplicably.
However, next, Xiao Qi's question was really difficult for him to answer, so much so that the sesame seed cakes in his mouth no longer tasted good.
"What is the relationship between Boss Wu and this Ms. Lan?"
Ah...this...
It seemed like it wasn't his place to answer.
"Why are you asking this? You just have the money to make movies." Da Fei said perfunctorily.
Xiao Qi curled his lips in disappointment. Although he knew it would probably end like this, he was still curious.
"Well, if you don't want to tell me, then I won't ask. This is really not what I should care about."
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that I don't know the specific situation." Da Fei told the truth. To be honest, he was actually a little curious.
The identity of this Ms. Lan is so mysterious, as if a magic weapon descended from heaven and suddenly appeared next to Wu Di.
Boss Wu's net worth suddenly soared, his whole person took on a new look, and he became the focus of everyone's pursuit.
These things may not arouse other people's suspicion, but Da Fei still can't figure it out. After all, he knows very well how depressed Wu Di was before and how difficult it is to make a living.
If Wu Di had such a good background and such a strong backstage, why didn't he show it at the beginning?
He also worked as an extra in Hengdian for several years. Those were real years. Yuan Dafei saw it all with his own eyes and couldn't fake it.
If Wu Di really had a powerful backing like Ms. Lan, why didn't he show up from the beginning?
Anyway, there's something weird about the whole thing.
However, what is even more weird is that although it is the Iron Triangle, there is no role for him.
According to his inference, Han Jingjing must have known the reason behind Ms. Lan's true identity and why she supported Wu Di so generously and selflessly.
Why should she hide it from him even though she knew it?
Isn't this unfair?
Or are we not close friends anymore?
Moreover, it seems that he was the only one who was kept in the dark about the whole thing. Lan Mashandi's investment in skin reskin can be regarded as taking over. Since Zhang Feng can agree to her taking over, then she has no intention of Lan Mashan.
Di's background is very reassuring, and there is a high probability that she also knows the reason.
You know, I know, he knows, everyone knows, only Da Fei is a big fool. Isn't this bullying?
It was a good thing that Xiao Qi didn't mention it, but as soon as he mentioned it, Da Fei's anger suddenly rose up, and he had the feeling that he would call Wu Di and ask Wu Di for a clear idea.
"You really don't know?" Xiao Qi didn't believe it.
Wu Di is now basically working alone on his own. He has neither set up a personal studio nor is affiliated with a large agency. Logically speaking, his relationship with the few staff members should be quite close.
And Da Fei was also the one who accompanied him all the way. How could he not know about all this? It was a bit too false.
Da Fei sighed: "I really don't know, but what we need to pay attention to is the stability of the film's investment. Now it seems that Ms. Lan is a person who does what she says and is very generous, and this is enough."
"Don't let her relax her requirements just because she is so generous to a young director like you. In fact, if Ms. Lan can invest in your film, she must have certain considerations."
"I think you must have been affected by the film. You thought that the film was just a temporary takeover by Ms. Lan. She took over such a big project as soon as she was told, and the investment was tens of millions. She didn't hesitate at all.
He is a rich man who is only responsible for distributing money and does not care about anything else."
"If you really think so, I advise you to abandon it as soon as possible. Ms. Lan is a very shrewd businessman."
"Although she is a great benefactor of the skin change, without her timely injection of funds, this movie will definitely suffer a major setback. Even if it can be made in the end, it will not be able to make it to the Spring Festival this year."
"But Ms. Lan came and took over in time. You can say she is fake and generous, but you can also say she is a businessman with a keen sense of smell."
"Judging from the current film market, the subject matter of Skin Change is quite new, and the cast is remarkable. It can be said that it is quite profitable."
Xiao Qi nodded and finally understood something. Da Fei's analysis was very accurate and hit the mark.
As a businessman, it is normal to be unable to make money early without profit.
Da Fei continued: "Looking at it now, you can understand. In fact, the skin-changing project has great potential. It's just a Spring Festival period, and the movie hasn't even been released yet, and Ms. Lan has already made a lot of money.
, an absolute huge profit, she seized this opportunity. If she hadn't predicted that this movie would make money, I think, with her shrewdness, she would not have invested casually even if she wanted to help Boss Wu.
"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In fact, there is a ready-made control group, namely Master.
At that time, the two movies were shot together in Hengdian, and Ms. Lan was not unaware that Wu Di was also the leading actor in the Fuzi crew.
With Ms. Lan’s financial resources, she can definitely help Master. This is not difficult, and the Master’s crew will definitely not refuse the big boss who joins the investment.
However, Ms. Lan didn't seem to be interested in the master at all. She didn't even mention it and just passed it by.
This shows that in her experience, the rate of return is probably not very high.
"Everything you said is right. It seems that I really need to work harder. Otherwise, I cannot meet Ms. Lan's needs. What if I withdraw my capital halfway?"
After all, people always consider their own interests, and Xiao Qi is certainly not exempt from this. As soon as he heard that Ms. Lan was a shrewd businessman, the first thing he considered was whether his movie could be completed.
Da Fei comforted him and said: "You can rest assured about this. Ms. Lan has not refused several additional investments for such a big project. This shows that she is an investor with good character. However, such an investor
, generally the requirements for movies are also high.”
"Now it seems that Boss Wu should have made it clear to Ms. Lan about the situation of this movie. As for the rate of return, there is no need to count on this movie. It is definitely not comparable to reskinning. But, you are in the cost.
We still need to be more careful in controlling things, we can use small things to make big things happen."
Using small things to make a big difference?
Xiao Qi's eyes lit up and he suddenly had inspiration.
yes!
What a great idea!
On the other side, the capital.
Ms. Lan's branch in the capital is about to open for business. Both the office location and the company's establishment are almost completed.
Setting up a branch company is not a big difficulty for Ms. Lan.
Office space is not difficult to find. It is just a branch and does not require fixed assets. Just rent a suitable location.
[In view of the general environment, this site may be closed at any time, please move to the permanently operating source app, huanyuanapp as soon as possible]
Ms. Lan is not short of money, and in the capital in 2010, rents were not outrageously expensive, so it was easy to rent a suitable place.
As for personnel construction, there is no need to worry.
Many of the senior backbones are directly transferred from the head office in Country A. As for many grassroots staff, some are recruited, and some are relatives or acquaintances of these senior backbones.
Although this recruitment model is not healthy enough, it is still acceptable in terms of accelerating the progress of establishing the company.
After all, they are just an entertainment company and a branch. As long as they can do a good job in business, there is no need to avoid suspicion in terms of personnel.
Besides, there is no telling how long this company will be able to operate seriously. After all, it is just a branch and it does not have much business at the moment. All investment projects are centered around Wu Di. Other film and television projects, Lanma
Sandy hasn't dabbled yet.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to get involved, it’s simply that she is still considering the rate of return of these projects and the inertia of the domestic entertainment market. Only when she has a clear understanding can she launch it on a large scale.
Moreover, strictly speaking, the scale of a film and television company should be as lean as possible.
Many film and television companies that have invested in blockbuster and successful movies are mediocre in scale, and maybe even a few have hundreds of serious staff.
This is also determined by the characteristics of the film and television industry. After all, many film and television companies are only responsible for investment and operation projects, and are neither involved in specific filming nor responsible for other specific matters. Naturally, it is better to reduce the size of the company to the minimum.
There are no other special reasons. One is that management is convenient and they are all acquaintances. On the other hand, it naturally saves money.
If there are fewer staff, the salary will be less. Is there anything more important than this?
As a senior businessman, Ms. Lan has her own measure of these matters.
Although everything was ready, Ms. Lan still stayed in the hotel. Although the living conditions here were indeed not that relaxed and casual, everything was managed, which saved Lanmasanti a lot of things.
The most important thing is that as the president of the head office, it is still unknown how long she can stay in the capital.
The head office is busy with business, so it's hard for her to leave for too long. She can't end up with a strong branch and a weak team.
What's more, even if we have to take care of the business on both sides, the head office side is more important.
According to Ms. Lan's idea, she will wait until the branch here officially opens and observe for a while. As long as all businesses are on track, she will return to country A.
Although she was very reluctant to leave, she was also a very rational person. Her son was here. If possible, she would of course hope to stay with him all the time. After all, they had been separated for too long.
However, the current reality is also here. On the one hand, the business of the head office cannot be given up.
Even if the domestic entertainment business has good prospects and the return on investment is high, it will take time to transfer the industry as a whole.
These all need to be done slowly.
And what about Wu Di?
Frankly speaking, Ms. Lan came back from country a just to take her son to country a. The years of debt made Ms. Lan feel very uncomfortable.
She doesn't even want Wu Di to have a career. As long as his mother works hard outside, it's enough. As for Wu Di, he only needs to be responsible for eating, drinking and living a good life.
However, when she met Wu Di, she found that he already had a career. Although it was just starting, it was indeed a kind of career.
What's more, his acting career overlaps with his own investment projects, so they are completely compatible. As a mother, why not support him?
Of course, this kind of support also requires certain sacrifices. For example, if Wu Di wants to develop his acting career here, he cannot return to country A with Ms. Lan. The two of them will still have to be separated for a long time in the future.
of life.
This is certainly not the result that Ms. Lan wants to see, but both she and Wu Di are very sensible people who know what to do when.
Therefore, Wu Di still ventured into the entertainment industry, and Ms. Lan was naturally his strongest supporter. In addition, the relationship between the two has gradually warmed up and is getting better and better, which is enough.
Everything must be done step by step and don't be too greedy.
This sentence applies to Ms. Lan, to new director Xiao Qi, and to the popular actor Wu Di.
However, Wu Di naturally hasn't realized yet that he is now a popular star and his every move attracts much attention.
Some things need to be done on the safe side, otherwise, mistakes may easily occur.
Cifang was very considerate and sent the name of the restaurant over during breakfast. Little Didi was a little excited when she thought that this address was near Cifang's home.
Don't worry, this is just a curiosity about the beauty's family, and there is no special idea.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Is there something you're hiding from me?"
Zhang Feng immediately revealed the truth, and Wu Di immediately became depressed.
"How can it be possible? It's impossible."
The more he said no, the more yes. Zhang Feng smiled clearly: "Okay."
"I trust you."
"How's it going? Do you have time today? Lao Zhang said he wanted to discuss the new script with you."
"Today, when?"
Although it can be seen that Zhang Feng knows that he is lying, but in order to look good to everyone, of course he still has to agree at this time.
