The staff sent by CCTV arrived quickly, and there were more than 70 of them.
Many people were puzzled, sitting in the conference room and whispering to each other.
"Old Shen, why were you sent here too?"
"I can't help it. Director Yang asked me to come. Can you not come?"
"I think we are blind this time. How can we film like this? Good guy, what are you doing with so many people?"
"That's right, this isn't nonsense."
"I heard that Mr. Xiao will be the director himself this time. Writing scripts is not enough, so he has to direct it himself. Do you think he can do it?"
"Today's young people are all in a panic when they have money to burn. Director Yang, too, only spends time with young people to fool around. If he goes blind this time, I think Director Yang's career will be over."
While there was a lot of discussion in the conference room, there was another large group of people outside, making the conference room, which was originally a little spacious, very crowded.
The people from CCTV looked at it sideways, guessing that there were more than 150 people there, and they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Many people have been engaged in the creation of film and television dramas for decades. When have they ever seen such a big battle?
"Are you going to shoot the Three Kingdoms or the Red Mansions? Isn't this too exaggerated?"
While he was chewing his tongue, Xiao Qian took the lead, leading Yang Yuan, Yang Zhen, Yang Yue, Xu Jiayi, and a few unknown people to file in and sit on the main seat.
The meeting was chaired by Yang Yuan.
"Okay, everyone is here. I announce that the first joint meeting of the "Tai Chi Master" crew will begin now."
The applause below was both warm and sparse.
Those who are enthusiastic are the people from Starlight Entertainment, and those who are indifferent are those from CCTV.
People from Starlight Entertainment have always been around, and they know Xiao Qian's magic even more. Being able to work with Xiao Qian this time, many people regard it as a rare opportunity to gain experience.
People at CCTV have heard of Xiao Qian's name to some extent, after all, the quality of "An Ning" is there.
But in the end, seeing is believing and hearing is believing. They have never interacted with each other. Seeing Xiao Qian's excessively young appearance, these people felt guilty from the bottom of their hearts.
Regarding this scene, Yang Yuan was helpless and had no choice but to say: "Now, let's invite the crew director and producer Mr. Xiao Qian to speak."
Xiao Qian naturally saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, and his heart was not disturbed at all.
What's the big deal?
Whether these people pursue him or despise him, it's all childish.
Anyway, the lifeblood of these people is in his hands. If they are unhappy, he can just kick them out.
Three-legged toads are hard to find, but people with two legs are still dissatisfied?
Although the crew needs so many staff, he has already laid out the core parts.
Today's meeting is not only a face-to-face meeting, but also a way for Xiao Qian to show off to everyone.
He stood up, waved his hands casually, stopped the people from Starlight Entertainment from clapping, and raised his voice to go directly to the topic.
"Mr. Xu, please distribute the outline of the crew. Everyone must have it."
Xu Jiayi immediately asked his secretary to pass the thick stack of outlines to each other. After a while, they were placed in front of everyone.
Many people are wondering, what is the crew outline?
Is this necessary for filming?
But when I opened it, almost everyone's face turned green.
Good guy, no wonder it’s called an outline, the content here is too detailed.
The structure of the crew, the grouping of various departments, the scope of authority and responsibilities, the allocation of funds, the shooting plan and process, and the individual division of labor are all shockingly detailed.
But there are advantages, that is, with this outline, everyone can immediately understand what tasks they will take on in the crew and what they should do, so that they will not be blinded.
Domestic film crews have always been relatively chaotic and disorganized.
Many people's work is said to be this, but they also do that. It seems to save manpower, but it is better to say that it is messy.
When there is nothing wrong with the costumes, you still have to do the housekeeping work. Regardless of whether you can do it well, won't you be distracted by your own duties of costumes?
Xiao Qian set strict limits for the crew. When everyone gathers together, they become a complete crew. But when separated, each person is only responsible for his own part, and then the coordination team coordinates. The teamwork is clear and precise, and the efficiency can be imagined.
Know.
Most people have been filming movies their whole life, and this is the first time they see a crew set up like this, and they are all confused.
Xiao Qian waited until everyone had the outline in their hands, then began to get into character.
"Let me introduce myself, I am Xiao Qian, you can call me Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao. I am the producer and screenwriter of "SH Beach", "An Ning" and "Bao Qingtian", and now I will be your director,
I am also the producer. In other words, I am the biggest in this crew and I have the final say. Who is in favor and who is against?"
Oops, the actor Liang is so powerful and domineering that even Xiao Qian was infected by his acting skills.
Now just wait for someone who doesn't open his eyes to say "I object", and he can slap him in the face and create a famous scene.
It's a pity that although the sparse applause below was not enthusiastic, it was done without opening one's eyes.
Are you sick?
We all work in society and have to support our families. Even if we have doubts about Xiao Qian, we can't joke about our future and destiny.
No one cooperated, which made Xiao Qian extremely regretful and had to take the next step.
"Let me introduce you now. This is Xu Jiayi from our Starlight Entertainment, Mr. Xu. She will be responsible for actor management in our crew. She will be responsible for the interviews, coordination, remuneration, and logistics support of the actors.
.”
Xiao Qian is preparing the crew, but there are not many people available. When looking for actors, the issue of salary negotiation must be handled by an experienced person.
So he invited the manager, Xu Jiayi, to make sure nothing went wrong.
"This is Zhang Daoxian, the team leader of CCTV. He will be in charge of the financial department of the crew."
When it came to Zhang Daoxian, Xiao Qian handed over another outrageously detailed form.
"Captain Zhang, the current overall budget of the crew is five million, which is not a small amount. But money must be spent wisely, so the budget is very important. I have listed the expenditure items required by the crew in detail. You
The people in your department have only one task, and that is to prepare the budget within a month. And in the future shooting process, we must strictly control the flow of funds. I don’t want to see the unexplained loss of funds.”
Xiao Qian has worked with several production crews and knows all about the tricks involved.
The unprofessionalism of the crew has given many people the opportunity to take advantage of loopholes. If nothing else, just ordering a box lunch can cause the loss of hundreds of thousands of funds. Are you afraid?
Obviously, the box lunches sold outside cost 1.5 yuan a piece, but the logistics company will reimburse you 3 yuan when they come back. Every time you come back, half of it is put into your wallet.
In Xiao Qian's place, such a good thing is out of the question.
He made a detailed budget classification, listed the use of each sum, and estimated the maximum amount.
If there is an overspending and the person in charge cannot provide a strong enough explanation, then bad luck will come.
Zhang Daoxian took the form, glanced at it, and immediately felt dizzy.
"This young director is too cruel. You have done it in such detail, and you really don't give anyone any room to do anything fishy."
But when he saw the salary calculation of the staff, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
This young producer is really nice to his staff.
Just compare it and you will know.
In terms of personnel salary expenses, the crew mainly has two major parts. One is the actors' salary, and the other is the staff's remuneration.
According to ordinary people's understanding, the actor's salary must account for the majority. But in Xiao Qian's case, it is completely the opposite.
In the budget, the total remuneration of the actors was limited to 550,000 yuan. However, the total salary for the staff reached an astonishing 700,000 yuan.
Of course, if you look carefully, you will see that the staff are not paid as much as the actors. A large part of this budget is used to ensure the welfare of the staff.
For example, summer expenses, heating expenses, transportation expenses, accommodation expenses, catering expenses, etc.
Zhang Daoxian looked at it carefully and found that if we look at it according to this budget, the staff will have almost no expenses themselves while they are on the set.
In other words, the remuneration you get after the filming is real remuneration.
The remuneration of actors is different, high is high, but everything else needs to be taken care of by oneself.
Xiao Qian will not support actors like his parents. Since he has given high remuneration, the actors will bear the corresponding expenses themselves and still make some money.
Anyway, the salary of actors in this era is really not high, 550,000 is more than enough.
Moreover, Xiao Qian uses floating remuneration. In order to prevent actors from not giving their best in filming, the actor's remuneration is linked to the work.
Take Yang Zhen as an example, his salary per episode is only 2,700 yuan. Doesn’t it look very pitiful?
But don't worry, there is a share-sharing agreement in Yang Zhen's contract.
In other words, the better the effectiveness of "Tai Chi Master", the more Yang Zhen will get.
This is Xiao Qian's purpose.
To be honest, even in the 1990s, 550,000 yuan was still not enough to pay such a large amount of actors. So we had to make up for it through the share of the money, and let the actors do their best.
After all, the better the quality of the film, the more money it can sell, and the more income they will earn.
It's not like those cut-out guys in the previous life, who got huge paychecks, slapped their butts and walked away after the performance. It had nothing to do with them if the movie was sold on the street. The most they could do was to bear some notoriety.
Xiao Qian thinks this sharing method is very good. Everyone bears the risks together. If you want to make more money, just give me a good show.
He is not worried that other actors will not agree.
Starlight Entertainment actors will definitely listen to him. If the outside actors are not willing, then find someone who is.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't invite big names, his current name as Mr. Xiao can still attract audiences.
