Youlian Company has its own shooting team, which was established when the company was called Youlian Film and Television Company. The average age of the members of the team is not very old, and their level is certainly not top-notch, it can only be considered average.
When encountering important projects, most directors or producers will have special requirements. They will invite some experts to form a sharper shooting team.
This group of people in the company automatically become their assistants, learning from experience while doing the job.
After following several projects, their level and experience have improved a lot. Now they handle ordinary projects, such as filming commercials, or helping Leslie Cheung and Jacky Cheung film their music videos for MTV, without any problems.
Landico also reported to Sun Dahai before that the company will use this group of people as the main force in the future to build its own filming team. Unless someone leaves, it will not recruit new people.
Xiangjiang's film and television industry is very developed, so there are still many talents in related technical fields, and their professional quality is generally relatively high.
Many small film and television companies only temporarily recruit short-term workers to form a shooting team after they have a project. They have no money and no need to support a permanent team.
In addition, major directors generally use their own teams, so Landico believes that it is enough for the company to maintain a similar team.
Sun Dahai also knew that with the current annual shooting tasks of Youlian Company, Landico's proposal was the most cost-effective option.
The behind-the-scenes team of film and television production, starting from screenwriters and producers, includes the camera crew (camera, lighting, costumes, props, makeup, drama, etc.) and post-production staff (editing, soundtrack, special effects, etc.), as well as their assistants and
There are all kinds of apprentices, and the number of one hundred and eighty people is the smallest.
Although their salaries are not very high and they mainly make money by doing projects, but including the supporting equipment and tools, if they persist for a long time, it will be a huge cost to the company.
More importantly, if these people want to improve their own level, they not only need to study hard and their own talents, but also need a large number of projects for training.
Therefore, Sun Dahai felt that he was not short of money, so he proposed to form two teams, which was actually more gain than loss.
The effect of this approach is far less than what it is now, using one team to conquer the world, and using them to lead assistants and apprentices to create a talent reserve for future expansion of the establishment.
Did Landike and the others know each other professionally? Sun Dahai followed suit and agreed to their plan.
Sun Dahai also knows that he is a little eager for quick success and instant benefits. If he wants to cultivate top talents, it is definitely not enough to pile up money. He needs to provide them with a scientific and reasonable development environment? He cannot encourage them to grow.
Sister Fen also asked one thing at the end? Kasol Film Company is already preparing to start a new project. Does Youlian need to follow up in time and set up branches in Europe and the United States? To attract European and American artists to join the company?
Did Sister Fen's question remind Sun Dahai? Kasol Film Company not only has its own project "The Love of Humans and Ghosts" in preparation, they also have several cooperation projects that are also under negotiation.
If you just invest money to participate in the investment? And then wait for the box office dividends to repay the capital or make a profit? Wouldn't it completely become an investment? This is not the original intention of Sun Dahai to participate in the project. Regardless of whether he is the protagonist or the main supporting actor? At least a few should be recommended.
Only actors contracted by the company enter the project.
These are all Hollywood movies, so you can't always stuff Xiangjiang actors into them. And among the company's existing contracted artists, it seems that only Ren Kuanxi is willing and qualified to be the protagonist or main supporting actor in Hollywood movies. Everyone else is because
For one reason or another, I can't overcome it for the time being.
Therefore, it has become an urgent task to attract new blood, especially new artists with European and American faces, to join the company. Kasol Film Company cannot find outsiders to star in all the projects set up by Kasol Film Company.
"Sister Fen, your suggestion is very good. But we need to establish branches in Europe and the United States as soon as possible. You go back and make a plan and try to officially start operations after the Spring Festival."
As Sun Dahai was talking, he suddenly thought of the domestic situation, so he added: "By the way, since we are planning to co-produce a movie with the mainland, the company's office in China must be established as soon as possible.
At the same time, you should also pay attention to Chinese artists, sign the ones that are suitable, and be the first to occupy the market.
There is another piece of work. In the next few days, you will go to the capital to contact us about co-productions, and by the way, ask whether wholly foreign-owned or joint ventures are currently allowed to open performance companies in China.
With the development of the domestic economy, the cultural industry will become a hot spot in the future. Youlian must now study and formulate several feasible plans and prepare to start early deployment in the mainland market."
"Boss, do we want to set up a separate performance company? I recommended myself and applied to be responsible for this business."
The person who spoke was Jin Jiaxi. In addition to being responsible for the construction and management of the brokerage team at Youlian Agency, she also cooperated with Sister Fen's request and was responsible for contacting the contracted artists on various matters related to foreign commercial performances.
However, now the company only has two professional singers, Leslie Cheung and newly joined company Zhang Xueyou, who have such needs, so the company has not set up a separate department for this purpose, and Jin Jiaxi will temporarily organize people to complete it when necessary.
When Jin Jiaxi heard Sun Dahai's words, she immediately became energetic. Because she knew that if this business could be independent, then she should be the person in charge of the new company.
Jin Jiaxi was the director of the brokerage department of Ren Kuei's original agency. She was one of the first veterans to join Youlian following Ren Kuei. At that time, Youlian was still called "Nianhua Star Agency".
However, Leslie Cheung’s manager, Sister Fen, who later joined the company, was a well-known figure in the industry, with superior abilities and qualifications, so Sister Fen became the director of the artist department.
Now, although Jin Jiaxi is still responsible for the work she is familiar with in Youlian, due to the division of departments in Youlian, she has actually become Sister Fen's deputy.
Now that there is an opportunity to manage a new company, Jin Jiaxi is naturally very interested. They are all people with abilities and ideas, and who doesn’t want to be able to take the lead alone?
Sister Fen and Jin Jiaxi's current jobs overlap, and Sun Dahai is aware of this situation.
The two of them are both agents, capable and well-connected, and they joined the company with Ren Yuwei and Leslie Cheung respectively, so Sun Dahai cannot favor one over the other.
Youlian takes a boutique route, and the artists it has signed so far only have two or three big cats and kittens, so it is inevitable that the work responsibilities of the two people overlap.
Now that Sun Dahai is planning to take out the business of the performance company independently, and Jin Jiaxi also hopes to take over, it is very reasonable for her to be responsible for the new company.
