Mr. Wu is so generous. This matter has spread to a small extent in the industry. It is precisely because he is indeed willing to give money and is consistent in giving money. He does what he says, and more and more newcomers have joined the company recently.
Wu Di is not in a hurry to recruit top people in the industry. On the contrary, he welcomes young people who do not have much experience but are familiar with the online environment.
Marketing does require strategy, and it is best to have some successful cases in hand.
But that's just one aspect.
We have already entered the Internet age, and a sense of the Internet is what new media marketing companies need to focus on.
As for the so-called industry talents, it is enough to have one who can take the lead.
Don’t we already have simplicity?
Then what else is there to worry about?
After the cordial dinner with the marketing team, Wu Di finally found an opportunity to talk to Lao Zhang.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Lao Zhang is getting busier and busier.
Originally, he was a person who liked to serve flowers and plants. Because it had been winter and the weather here in the capital was cold, the small trees that were originally lush and leafy also lost their leaves in winter.
Some that can be moved indoors are better, but those that cannot be moved can only watch it become bare.
Now, the weather is getting hotter, spring is coming, flowers are blooming, everything is reviving, and various plants in the courtyard are showing their vigorous vitality again.
The hard-working and serious Director Zhang was walking among the flowers holding a huge gardening shears.
These chores can obviously be left to serious gardeners, but Lao Zhang insists on doing them himself, for no other reason than love.
"Mr. Zhang, I think this tree is growing well. Why does it need to be pruned?"
"It's too much!"
Lao Zhang had his back to Wu Di and was trying hard to pull the scissors to the maximum angle, intending to deal with a relatively thick branch.
"You still call me Mr. Zhang?"
"Is it time for you to change your story?"
Wu Di was stunned and quickly responded: "Dad, it's not that I don't want to change my story, it's just that I'm worried that I'll call you too early, as if I'm deliberately setting up a relationship."
"You have already decided to get married, so what's the point of saying sooner or later? What's more, with our current relationship, do we still need to continue to work together? Isn't it already very close?"
Lao Zhang gritted his teeth and finally summoned up a strong force to close the big scissors left and right, only to hear a click!
Snapped!
The stubborn thick branch immediately fell to the ground.
"Tsk tsk..."
"It's really a bit too much."
Lao Zhang admired his work, but he still admitted the fact. Wu Di had to shed tears for the poor branch.
It’s not easy for it to grow to this point, how easy is it!
Destroy it!
"Come and sit here, I've been wanting to talk to you lately!"
"I heard that Meng's orphans also have to go to the Spring Festival stalls?"
Wu Di: Isn’t this what I told you?
Why are you still asking questions?
"yes."
"However, I have already put down the follow-up promotion work for that movie. Don't worry, I will definitely focus on the promotion of San Yan Er Pai by then."
Wu Di also learned the lesson, and without waiting for Lao Zhang to remind him, he did it himself.
I don’t know if Zhang Feng told Lao Zhang what happened that day, but judging from the way he was still thinking about it, it seemed that he hadn’t heard about it.
"This is naturally the best."
"But doesn't he have any intention of changing his mind?"
"You still have to fight with me?"
Wu Di: Master, sir, does that mean they want to fight with you?
That's why you rush to fight with others, okay?
"Dad, although you finished filming the movie first, Brother Hai decided on the schedule first, so you can't be too overbearing!"
"Definitely scheduled?"
"Is that also called a fixed schedule?" Lao Zhang showed a disdainful smile.
Before this, Wu Di didn't even notice that the two old men were so deeply at odds with each other. At first, he even mistakenly thought that they were both indifferent characters!
How stupid.
Fortunately, Wu Di is still firm in his stance and there is no conflict between the two sides. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Lao Zhang to be a good person!
"The release date is officially announced, and all the theaters have been negotiated. The movie has been edited and passed the review. Only then can it be considered a real success."
"You are also on his crew. Let me ask you, among these few steps now, which step has he completed?"
"The editing should be completed, but that's it for now. After all, the filming was only completed last month, so it can't progress that fast."
"Isn't this the end? Three words and two shots have been completed. Now I have also negotiated with the theater chain, and all that is left is to officially set the date."
"However, the Spring Festival period is also very special. As long as movies are released during this period, their release dates will be on the first day of the Lunar New Year."
"So, the time is the same and there is no need to set it specially."
When it comes to professional issues in the industry, Lao Zhang is even more confident. Haha, if I want to compare with him, he, Brother Hai, is more junior.
"San Yan Er Pai has already passed the review and obtained a distribution license. Whether his Mengshi Orphan can pass is still a matter of debate. He wants to release it on the Spring Festival release, but that also depends on when he can produce the approved results.
piece."
"Can he take it now?"
Of course not, do you need to say that?
"You can't say that. There are still several months to go. The Orphans of Meng is just a costume film. The story is well-known to everyone. There are no bloody and violent scenes. Generally speaking, it should be available quickly.
Permit."
"If it is really arranged during the Spring Festival, it will be fully timely."
Lao Zhang was enjoying himself, but he didn't expect that Wu Di not only refused to join in the fun, but even poured a basin of cold water down on his face.
This is really unreasonable!
"In that case, the Meng's orphans are indeed going to be on the Spring Festival show?"
Wu Di felt that Lao Zhang's eyes were particularly sharp, like sharp arrows that were about to pierce his little heart.
If these old men have any old or new grudges, why don't they make an appointment to meet and face each other directly?
He had to put such a pitiful little person in the middle, and he still had a stern attitude, as if he was the one stirring up trouble.
"Dad, you don't have to worry about these things at all. Anyway, the Meng's orphans have nothing to do with me. Next, as long as the schedule comes, I will put all my efforts into marketing. Whether he can get it or not, what does it have to do with us?"
"As long as we improve the performance of our own movies, by then, even if there is no Orphans of Mengs syndrome, there will be other movies competing for the box office."
"No matter how high-quality our movies are and how popular their themes are, they still can't take up all the scheduled films."
"Right!"
"You just have a sweet mouth."
Wu Di laughed. No matter what, this trick will always be useful for Lao Zhang.
"Dad, I don't mean to flatter you. I am completely sincere and I am actually helping you with your analysis."
"The Spring Festival is always a popular time. There are too many people watching, and there are too many experts. When we promote, we must also pay attention to the other party's slander, and at the same time, stabilize our own promotion."
"Because it's not yet time for the formal competition, I'm just providing a general strategy and specific steps first, and we'll have to wait until the time is right for a dedicated team to carry out the process."
"OK!"
"I see that your team is very young, which is good. The age group of my company is much older. Recently, I also feel that they are increasingly unable to keep up with the times, and they really need to make changes."
"Xiao Wu, I have an idea. When San Yan Er Pai's publicity campaign officially starts, can I have my people go over and observe it?"
"It's considered learning."
Wu Di was stunned for a moment: You are not studying, you are clearly stealing from others!
"Okay, of course no problem!"
Although he was full of complaints in his heart, he still agreed happily with his mouth. This is Wu Di's consistent principle of life.
When you can avoid offending others, try your best not to offend others.
Besides, isn't it still at least half a year away? Who knows if Lao Zhang will still be able to think about this matter by then.
Take one step, count one step.
However, now this step seemed to be at his feet, and Wu Di suddenly realized it.
"Yes, Dad, you also have a film company, don't you?"
"Yes, indeed there is."
"However, unlike you, the main business is the movies I make. I usually don't have much business, the scale is not large, and the business scope is not wide."
"I have no business acumen. I have seen this clearly from more than ten years ago. Therefore, I opened this company mainly to serve the commercialization of my movies."
"I'm far less professional than you."
When it comes to business issues, Lao Zhang is very honest and forthright. His company, which is nicely called a film and television company, is actually a large personal studio.
The main task is to distribute and operate Lao Zhang's films, because in recent years, Lao Zhang's attention has mainly been focused on directing, and he has rarely even worked as a producer for others.
Therefore, his company's usual business is really pitiful.
I also lack experience, so my main task now is to find the next script for Lao Zhang.
Unlike some author-directors, Lao Zhang is a very tolerant person. When it comes to the selection of scripts, he is not the kind of director who insists on one movie at a time.
Lao Zhang is not focused on writing his own scripts. As long as they are good scripts that suit his taste, he can also accept works from other writers.
Even among his early works, famous works by well-known writers accounted for a large amount of space.
Now, people in the company have a sense of crisis. Although no one has ever revealed anything to them, they also have a vague feeling that there seems to be something wrong with talking and talking.
There is a high probability that it will be suspended.
Therefore, the quality of the next movie must be maintained!
This is the top priority of company staff.
"Dad, speaking of the company, I also have something to ask you. I'll tell you and you can listen. I don't mean to force you."
"These children are all members of our own family. If you have anything to say, just say it. Why should you be reserved?"
"Is the company short of staff and you want to transfer some from me?"
"Is there still a movie to be co-produced?"
However, Wu Di's request is certainly not so easy to achieve, otherwise, he would not have gone in such a big circle.
"Dad, it's like this. I have a friend who wants to change his agency contract and wants to find a new company. Is it possible with you?"
"A brokerage contract?"
"So, he is an actor?"
"Yes, it's quite famous."
"Since he is a well-known and professional actor, it is not suitable. I have just mentioned the specific situation of my company. It is really not suitable for the subsequent development of actors."
"Besides, your friend should be very young too."
Lao Zhang made a reasonable guess, and Wu Di nodded quickly.
As a result, Lao Zhang became more confident: "Yes, since they are all young people, it would be too wasteful to directly sign with my company. To be honest, the way my company operates is basically a free-range type.
, except when there are movies to be produced, there is no business.”
"You know sunglasses, right? The level of my company is similar to his. There are almost no plans for entertainers and stars. Young people just have to dare to work hard. It doesn't matter if they are a little tired. Youth is their capital."
"Why did you ask your friend to come to my company? To sit on the bench?"
"Hey, Dad, you are exaggerating. It's not that serious. Those sunglasses are a symbol of masters and slow work."
"He only makes one film every three years. You can make three films in three years and still have extra money. How can it be the same?"
"That's still different."
If Lao Zhang didn't mention it, Wu Di would have forgotten about it. How could this be okay?
This is a great story for the film festival!
I think back then, Sunglasses was just an ordinary director who liked ink marks when filming, and it was nothing.
Although he has a good personality, he can't stand up to the fact that his works are really good. Those big-name movie stars who come here because of his fame can't do anything to him even if they get angry in a hurry.
No matter how strong the wind is, I will remain unmoved.
There were too many jokes and conflicts to count during the filming. Even so, there were still many actors who took the initiative to defect to this golden brand.
Of course, for the actors, the trouble may not be that much. After all, except for a few royal cast members, many actors who come to star in sunglasses movies are also one-time deals, and they can get away with it after a while.
However, for some people, this torture is long-term and continuous.
Those are the artists signed to sunglasses companies.
At once……
He is really not a business-minded person. Although he is a really good director, he is really not a good businessman.
At that time, many actors heard that the famous Sunglasses also opened a film company and signed contracts with foreign artists. They were immediately excited and came in droves.
The result was haha.
It's coming, it's coming, it's all coming.
It'll be fine once they're all here.
You can rest now.
Our sunglasses company focuses on a free-range and retirement-oriented operation model.
When artists come to my company, they really have to rely on their own abilities. It is impossible for me to help you find resources. This is completely inconsistent with my personality.
Of course there are agents, but the agents in my company have the same temperament as me, and they don't care about the development of artists at all.
Does it have anything to do with me if you have any dramas to perform?
