Lao Wang, who was originally calm, stood up directly. The expression on his face was either surprise, horror or panic. It was very complicated.
This is the semi-annual Qinghe high-level meeting.
Including Su Yan, Huang Lei, and Hu Shuai from South Korea also rushed back. It was hosted by the company's CEO, Mr. Wang, and all leaders from the advertising, artist, variety show, investment and other departments participated.
At the meeting, a summary of all aspects of the first half of the year was made, as well as work plans for the second half of the year.
Various new projects will be proposed at this time, and of course those with relatively large investment or influence will be put forward.
For example, if Su Yan himself is planning to film a variety show, he only needs to talk to Lao Wang.
but.
Today he suddenly proposed making a movie.
Except for Chen Jianshu who was standing next to him and still had a dead look on his face, everyone else was a little surprised.
"What is the subject of the film? Does it require a starring role?"
"How much investment do I need to go to theaters?"
"A joke or are you serious?"
Only Huang Lei and the others dared to ask such a question, while everyone else was secretly laughing.
"I don't know yet about the investment, but there are probably a lot of special effects shots for science fiction films, so they shouldn't be cheap. I plan to pay part of it myself, and the rest will be shared by the company and others.
The script is still being revised. I can’t say the specifics. I expect it will start after the end of "Street Food" and it will be completed by the end of the year. The role requires a young actor with good acting skills. The girl is about eight years old and the male protagonist is about twenty years old.
, don’t need traffic, can show the sense of vicissitudes of life, then I will be responsible for the audition, other actors can choose some, there are no other requirements, they are all young people.”
The secretary next to him recorded Su Yan's request on the computer.
Huang Lei understood that the other party wanted to be serious.
"Then this is a business matter. Director Su, you need to come up with a detailed plan and give it to the company, but you can take care of other preparations in advance and the arrangement of personnel."
Su Yan nodded to express his understanding.
Qinghe is not his company alone. Whether the project can be approved or not does not matter what the three bosses say. Only through discussion and research, comprehensive factors and risk assessment can the final decision be made. There is no rule without rules, and he naturally
Can understand.
If you are investing in a new variety show, you only need to say a few words, because Su Yan is good at it and will definitely make money.
But the movie...
You know, Su Yan has never taken any pictures in the past few years since graduation.
Directors of TV series may not be good at making movies, let alone variety shows.
No wonder others are worried.
Moreover, I heard that this script was written by a little-known author, let alone a popular IP, and it is a science fiction film.
In fact, Su Yan was also prepared in his heart. If he couldn't get any money in one round, he would learn from Wu Jing and maybe he could do it.
But this is basically impossible.
Qinghe's investment is inevitable, it's just a matter of how much it accounts for. Then Tencent and Wanda will use Su Yan's name to pay for future relationships. Even iQiyi and Youku will probably wave their hands if they know about it.
Checks come to your door.
Let’s not talk about this beforehand.
Qinghe has made a lot of moves this year. It has produced four TV series and two movies this year, with a total revenue of nearly 400 million. Even many large economic companies are still making money.
Artists' points are almost negligible and occupy a very small part.
The most powerful thing, and the most different from other companies, is the variety show part.
This is also the biggest income that makes others jealous.
In addition to the broadcast rights of TV stations, commissions on advertising fees, copyright fees, second-round broadcasts on the platform, etc., with more programs, the data is very impressive.
By the way, all of Su Yan's programs have been broadcast in nearly ten countries in Asia. Among them, "Run" has sold the copyrights in four countries, and South Korea has become Qinghe's largest partner.
At present, there are seven programs that are either sold or cooperated with. As long as they are broadcast, Qinghe will be given a lot of money every year.
Some small foreign TV stations even made purchase requests, but Lao Wang finally refused after balancing the pros and cons.
The meeting was not short, it lasted from eight o'clock in the morning to noon, and then it was all over.
There are only three bosses and Mr. Wang left inside.
"What, are you really going to do it?" Huang Lei picked up the teapot and took a sip of tea.
"You don't support it?" Su Yan asked with a smile.
"How could it be possible? You were originally a director, but now you dare to make movies regardless of cats or dogs. I think it's strange that you, a graduate of a regular college, don't make movies."
"Just say but."
Lao Hu added another sentence.
"But." Huang Lei said seriously: "What I'm worried about is not money. To be honest, even if you need 200-300 million in funds, Lao Hu and I will definitely support it, right?"
Hu Shuai nodded.
"The most profitable person for the company is you. If you put out a show, the actors have to film for several years before you can compare it, but this is also your disadvantage.
In the circle of variety shows, if you are ranked second, you certainly cannot dare to say that you are number one. Many people are envious of you for being able to achieve such brilliant results at such a young age.
However, apart from that, I believe there are many people who want to see you fall.
It's just that it's almost impossible in the field of variety shows. Even if you retire now, you will have a steady stream of follow-up income.
But if you make a movie, it means giving these people a chance.
Regardless of whether they have previous experience or not, as long as they find the slightest opportunity, they will definitely step on you hard.
This is very important to the reputation you have accumulated so hard...
Moreover, in addition to insiders, reporters should not be underestimated.
To be honest, for them, the success of an artist's success is far less attractive than the failure of his career.
Think about it, if a great variety show director wants to take on a movie challenge and fails miserably at the box office, no matter who he is, he will be willing to click in and watch it."
Su Yan smiled bitterly: "Teacher Huang, are you cursing me?"
"Of course not. I naturally hope that your movie will be a big hit, but I am just saying these words to give you a heads up and be mentally prepared."
Lao Hu has made the most movies and has more say.
"Actually, as long as the script is good, the film will definitely not be much different. If you want to make a science fiction film, just invest more and don't make 50-cent special effects. This money can't be saved. If you need me to star, just say it,
Putting aside anything else, I personally can invest in it."
"I can see that you all don't think highly of me. This is not good. We are all friends..." Su Yan was helpless: "Although I have been filming variety shows in recent years, I am really a professional.
As someone who has studied it, I can only say that I have confidence in this script!!!"
This has already been said, so I won’t mention it again.
Originally, Huang Lei and the others did not want to stop or persuade you. Since you still want to insist after I have analyzed it, there is nothing to say. I can only support it.
Besides, there might be an unexpected surprise at the end.
"Lao Hu, what's going on with you?" Huang Lei changed the subject.
"I've already joined the group. To be honest, I'm not used to the habits of Korean directors, but I can still accept it."
"Em... I've learned too much!" Su Yan said: "Is this what Teacher Renhuang is asking you? Just know how you film and what progress you have made. Why don't you tell me?"
"Then what do you want to know?" Lao Hu pretended to be stupid.
Huang Lei stepped forward and pinched his neck: "Say it or not! Say it or not!"
"I can't breathe!" Lao Hu patted the other party's arm, while Mr. Wang laughed beside him. The feelings between these three bosses were really beyond words.
"I said it's not okay yet." Hu Shuai surrendered: "Juhyun and I are very good, but to be honest, it's too inconvenient there. It's difficult to go on a date. You can often find yourself being followed by reporters."
Huang Lei automatically ignored the second half of the sentence, with a sly look in his eyes: "Oh~~~" and made a long sound.
"Zhuhyun! Don't you know there is a saying that shows affection and breaks up quickly?"
Su Yan rolled his eyes: "Teacher Huang is so bad, we Minjiang people are better.
