The matter of the land that Sun Dahai was betting against others had already spread among the company's top management. Sun Dahai did not block the news, he just did not publicize it.
Because such gossip news cannot be blocked at all. Instead of letting employees speculate randomly in private, it would be better to keep it semi-public like now, and there would be less trouble.
Everyone first talked about the Star Gas Station for a while, and then started talking about the daily life of the company. Sun Dahai didn't stay at Youlian for a long time, so Sun Dahai didn't usually get involved in many work matters.
This is actually not good. Employees doing related work do not even have the opportunity to report directly to Sun Dahai, the big boss.
Therefore, it is important for Sun Dahai to listen to their work report today. As for what Simon Yam's next film appointment is, what new songs Leslie Cheung is recording, etc., they have enough channels to communicate privately.
Gabriel's Investment Cooperation Department has a newly established project review team, which is mainly responsible for reviewing various submitted scripts. The person in charge is named Liu Zhenwei.
"Ancestor Bodhi?!" Sun Dahai almost blurted out.
When he was young, Liu Zhenwei was not that rich. When he followed several middle-level people in the company to the conference room, Sun Dahai did not recognize him.
However, when Gabriel introduced a few of them to Sun Dahai, the administrator of Youlian handed Sun Dahai their information. Sun Dahai scanned the names and recognized the great god he had admired for a long time.
However, shouldn’t Liu Zhenwei be signed to Deng Guangrong’s Yingzhijie Production Company now? Why did he become a member of Youlian again?
Sun Dahai asked casually. It turned out that Liu Zhenwei had actually signed a contract with Ying Zhijie a few months ago, but he had signed a 2+1 director contract. Last month, he had completed a million Hong Kong dollar movie "Meng".
"Ghost House" will be released in Hong Kong next month.
This movie is the first movie that Liu Zhenwei and the King of Glasses collaborated on, starring Zhang Xueyou. In Sun Dahai’s memory, this movie has a pretty good box office. Although it did not enter the top ten at the annual box office, it still made tens of millions. For Deng Guangrong
The Shadow Hero made a fortune.
Oh, it was the director's appointment, so Sun Dahai was relieved.
The binding force of the director's contract on Liu Zhenwei is almost negligible. He has already completed one movie, and as long as he makes another movie for Ying Zhijie, even if it is a sequel, the contract will be considered completed.
With the speed at which Pang Puo is saving scripts and filming, it will take at most one or two months to complete. After that, he can work full-time as You Lian as his film review team leader, so Sun Dahai will not go there again.
Asked more.
Gabriel's investment and cooperation department is actually a large production department that integrates film review, investment, and distribution. Not only does it operate on its own, but it also participates in the investment and co-production of other companies' films.
When Sun Dahai and Gabriel discussed the future development direction of the Investment and Cooperation Department, they once said that this department will expand its business scope in the future and will never be limited to film production.
Various activities such as TV series, TV columns, musicals, concerts, and commercial football matches will gradually enter the business scope of the Investment Cooperation Department.
But there is no rush. It is true that the Investment and Cooperation Department should first spend a few years laying a solid foundation. Now, not only will it not make money in other projects, but it will invest a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and some losses will outweigh the gains. We still have to take our time and follow the trend.
Development is good.
Liu Zhenwei is willing to join the film review team precisely because he sees it very clearly. The current film review team will surely become the cradle of Youlian Company's own screenwriters, directors and producers in the future. In other words, the people who come out of here
, is the true direct descendant of Youlian Company.
Therefore, Liu Zhenwei would rather hastily end his cooperation with Ying Zhijie and temporarily give up the opportunity to take charge of the director's microphone, but also want to seize a good position in Youlian.
Liu Zhenwei's thinking is very clear. In those film and television companies where famous actors are their own bosses, he will always be just a vassal of those stars. Both screenwriters and directors have to serve the stars.
Only when he reaches a real film and television company can he exert all his abilities and make the films he wants.
Youlian is such a real film and television company. Liu Zhenwei met Zhang Xueyou when he went out to eat, and after listening to his introduction, he started to pay attention to Youlian.
At this time, Zhang Xueyou was already a member of Youlian. Sister Fen paid PolyGram a liquidated damages of HK$500,000 and transferred all of Zhang Xueyou's management contracts to Youlian.
The liquidated damages stipulated in Zhang Xueyou's contract were actually two million Hong Kong dollars. Sister Fen only paid a friendship price, which was quite generous. This was also the first step in the in-depth cooperation between Youlian and PolyGram.
Liu Zhenwei originally thought that this was a company that blindly invested in the film industry with hot money. There are too many such companies now, and everyone is interested in the money-making effect of Xiangjiang movies. Otherwise, a small place like Xiangjiang would not be able to produce movies every year.
Hundreds of movies come.
Real filmmakers have a very clear attitude towards such a company. I have no problem if the sponsor pays me to practice, save scripts for the sponsor, and build a crew.
If the funder gives a lot of money, I will help him find more stars. If there are any special requirements, then we can talk in private to make the funder feel that it is worth the money.
But don’t count on the quality of the film produced. Whether it can be released or not is a matter for the theaters and distribution companies, not my control. If you really want to release it, it’s not impossible. I will introduce the theaters and distributors to
You, go talk to them.
This is the attitude of the Hong Kong film industry towards foreign investors, which is exactly the same as the attitude of the mainland film and television industry towards investors two thousand years ago.
For investors who rush into the film and television industry, the attitudes of both film circles are the same. If you don't pay enough tuition, just grind there slowly.
Zhang Xueyou is the male protagonist of Liu Zhenwei's debut novel. For his sake, Liu Zhenwei found out the details of Youlian Company through his friends.
Although Liu Zhenwei is not yet a celebrity in the industry, he is loyal and has many friends in the industry, so it is relatively easy to find out about things in the industry.
After asking around, he found out that Zhang Xueyou really didn't deceive him. Youlian Brokerage Company was not well-known and had just been established, but its predecessor was Youlian Film and Television Company, which was well-known in the industry.
The number of films produced by Youlian Film and Television Company is very small. Currently, only two works, "A Better Tomorrow" and "Autumn Fairy Tale", have been released.
But these two works are more powerful than the twenty works produced by many companies.
The film "A Better Tomorrow" is the local box office champion in Hong Kong's history, and is the first film to earn more than HK$40 million at the local box office.
This movie not only created a new genre of hero movies, but also became popular throughout Southeast Asia. Now this movie has entered the international market and has been released in countries on other continents.
