The two movies were launched one after another, and there were a lot of things to do. However, with the previous experience and the number of people, it was done in an orderly manner, with everyone responsible for their own parts.
Xiangyang here focuses on "Buried Alive". The investment is not large and the crew is not large. It is very suitable for novice producers to operate.
Liu Minghua is relatively busy, with endless meetings, endless phone calls, and endless meetings with funders.
Everyone else in the company is in a similar situation.
As a director, Qin Xiaobao has to coordinate everything within the crew in addition to the script, so his life can be said to be particularly fulfilling.
There are many things to do, so naturally there are fewer people going to school. When they learn that he is preparing a new work, both teachers and classmates will send a WeChat message and call him to congratulate him.
In addition, Professor Chen has already agreed to come as a consultant after the filming starts, and he also made a condition.
I just asked a few other students in the class to come over and have a look and learn more.
Qin Xiaobao naturally agreed. After all, it's not a big deal to meet classmates, so just come.
Time passed like this day by day, and it was the end of May in a blink of an eye.
After Qin Xiaobao arrived at the company, he was still yawning. He stayed up late last night and carefully read the script of the new movie and marked a lot of things that needed to be changed.
Wang Bingbing didn't cause trouble. The two of them had the video on, one of them was reading a script or a movie, and the other was busy with his own business.
Occasionally looking at each other and smiling are quite satisfying.
The young lady is coming back soon. Her role will end next month. She said that Qin Xiaobao has been too hard during this period and she will make soup for him when she comes back.
After one o'clock, Wang Bingbing couldn't bear it and went to bed first. She had a show the next day, and she didn't finish until after three o'clock.
After sleeping for a few hours, I got up and came to the company.
Liu Minghua and several managers are already waiting in the office. They are all not in good spirits. It seems that they haven't had enough sleep recently.
"Isn't Mr. Xiang here yet?" Qin Xiaobao took a special cup and took a glass of water.
"I just called. There's a traffic jam. I'll be here in a minute." Someone said next to me.
"Everyone has been working hard recently. Please work harder. When you are done with this period of work, let's take a vacation and relax." Qin Xiaobao boosted morale: "I'll treat you to the Sichuan restaurant ahead for lunch."
However, several people shook their heads.
"Mr. Qin, after I finish the meeting, I have to go to Guangzhou right away."
"I made an appointment with Xuhua's boss for lunch."
"I'm not free either," Liu Minghua saw him looking at him with a smile and shook his head: "I have something to do."
"Well, no one came to treat us to dinner." Qin Xiaobao crossed his arms.
"Keeping accounts," someone said, "I'll invite you when you have some time."
"Okay, let's keep the accounts first." Qin Xiaobao also knows the situation of the company and is so busy that most of the time, there are only a few people in the office and the others are running around outside. This meeting is mainly to summarize all aspects.
Information and questions were gathered together.
After chatting for a while, Xiang Yang arrived, apologized to everyone, and went straight to the meeting without pressing too much.
There is a lot of content and dozens of categories. Some require reports after the employees have completed their work, some require coordination between the two bosses, some require them to make decisions, and some require further discussion.
In short, it is very complicated, but very important.
It took more than three hours for everyone to report and communicate. After the end, everyone else went out to do their own things, leaving only three people in the office.
Xiang Yang stretched, his bones cracking.
"Oh, I've been exhausted these past few days. I feel like a butler."
"If it doesn't work, ask someone to help you." Qin Xiaobao also knew that as a novice producer, he was under a lot of pressure.
"I've already found it. If I'm responsible for it all by myself, it's easy for me to get lost. But most of the time I have to do it by myself. If I can't handle this small scene, how can I be responsible for a movie with an investment of hundreds of millions in the future?" Xiang Yang thought that plain water tasted tasteless, so he asked
Someone came in with a cup of strong tea.
"Looking at what you said, you're doing pretty well. Come on." Qin Xiaobao encouraged.
"Well, judging from what you said, my work was not in vain."
Liu Minghua took out another document beside him: "Mr. Qin, Xiaoming told me that your fans have been looking forward to the release of new songs. They haven't appeared on TV recently. They need to be maintained, otherwise the viscosity will
It will go down.”
"Yes, idol stars often participate in programs, interviews, bubble business performances, etc. After the Chinese New Year, you really haven't done much. Stars change quickly. This year, there have been a few popular traffic ones.
." Xiang Yang was beside him, blowing on his cup like a veteran cadre and taking a sip of tea.
"I don't follow the idol route." Qin Xiaobao didn't care.
"What about the fans?" Liu Minghua asked.
"Well... what should we do? I don't have time now. Recording songs is easy. I can squeeze in some time, but what should I do next?" Qin Xiaobao also started from reality. He really didn't have time. Since he was recording songs, he had to do it.
When you make a song, you have to promote it, and you have to travel around. This can't be done in a week or two.
"Hey, didn't you participate in Hunan Satellite TV's new program before?" Xiang Yang suddenly thought: "It hasn't been broadcast yet?"
"It's being edited. I heard that it is planned to be released during the summer vacation, and the ratings will be better." Qin Xiaobao heard Teacher He mention that the first season of the program has been recorded, and the editing work is almost finished, and it is waiting to be broadcast.
.
"Suddenly appearing in a variety show won't have any effect!" Xiang Yang worried.
"What a coincidence," Liu Minghua looked at the two of them and smiled: "I happen to have an invitation here, from South Korea's MBC TV station."
"Old Liu, aren't you funny?" Xiang Yang was speechless: "We, Mr. Qin, don't even have time to go to the toilet now. How can we have time to go to South Korea? Besides, what impact does his appearance in Korean programs have on the country?
?”
"Mr. Xiang, don't be anxious, just listen to me." Liu Minghua took a sip of water and cleared his throat: "You know this Korean Wave."
"I know, it seems a lot different now."
"At any rate, I have a foundation. What I want to talk about is the variety shows over there. In fact, in China, Korean variety shows are very popular and I find them particularly interesting. This time I contacted MBC TV station, oh, it is equivalent to our CCTV
.
One of their shows, "What Are You Doing Free?" is led by the most awesome host Yoo Jae-seok. Each episode of Bilibili has millions of views, and when you encounter particularly interesting guests or segments, it has over a thousand views.
Wan is very relaxed and is a very popular show in both countries."
Qin Xiaobao nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"After receiving the invitation a few days ago, I went to watch the show. To be honest, it was quite interesting. He probably meant cross-border. Liu Zaishi's main job is as a host. Under the arrangement of the director, he will engage in other jobs.
, such as singing traditional Korean songs, learning musical instruments, etc. They call this a secondary role.
Because the host is so awesome, he is the number one in Korea, so no matter what he does, the popularity is extremely high."
Qin Xiaobao didn't understand: "It doesn't seem to have anything to do with me?"
"Don't worry, they have recently formed a group. Yoo Jae Suk, Rain, and Lee Hyori are preparing to re-perform retro songs. They have already aired two episodes with great results."
"Lee Hyori used to be very sexy?" Xiangyang interjected.
"Yes, the Lee Hyori who is particularly good at twisting." Liu Minghua smiled: "It was she who proposed a new idea and called three female singers with the same strong personalities in the Korean music scene to form a remote refund team.
Then, I have to talk about Fruit Sister and your previous albums.
The sales of "The Love of My Life" were pretty good in Korea, peaking at No. 6, "God Is a Girl" was on the Billboard, and you withdrew from the Berlin Film Festival. The combined effect of these events was,
The younger generation in Korea, especially artists, are very well-known.
In particular, they learned that Andy Lau, Deng Ziqi, brother, especially brother, he is the idol of a whole generation in Korea. All the songs are composed and composed by you, so..."
"You just want me to write a song?" Qin Xiaobao understood.
"That's right!"
"Are they here for filming?" Xiang Yang asked.
"Yes, I came to China to shoot. I took a look. As long as Director Qin is satisfied with your music, even two days of shooting will be enough. If you change a few more sets of clothes and change a few more scenes, you can directly guarantee a 4-5
period weight.
Mainly including the host, the other four members have many fans in China, so it is a good thing to be able to work together.
Moreover, our future movies will inevitably be screened in South Korea, so you can be regarded as an outpost and kill two birds with one stone."
"But I don't understand Korean either. I only know Smecta." Qin Xiaobao was a little moved, but Lao Liu analyzed it very well.
Fans all like to watch the interactions between celebrities. This is a cross-border affair, so the influence is definitely there.
As he said, South Korea and Japan are both huge vote banks, and it is necessary to increase personal visibility.
Furthermore, for those who are busy nowadays, just to show their face, go to participate in a variety show, go to any city, it will take two days to go back and forth, it is not worth it.
You can cut out 4-5 programs in two days of shooting, which is the most cost-effective.
Furthermore, writing songs for others as a lyricist and composer can be regarded as gaining glory.
"It doesn't have to be Korean. The director of the program team said that the money may not be the same as in our country. The market conditions on both sides are different. It is expected to be about three hundred thousand, but your performance fee is the highest. As long as you are willing to film, both
Heaven, thirty million."
"What? Fifty million? It can't be Korean currency, right?" Xiangyang shouted.
"Of course it's Korean currency." Liu Minghua couldn't laugh or cry: "If it were RMB, I would explain so much, so just take it."
"I just took the photo without saying anything." Qin Xiaobao also laughed: "That's almost two hundred thousand."
"It's not much. How much does it cost to go to a business performance?" The big business owner suddenly lost interest.
"It's incomparable. Yoo Jae Suk is a top host. His one show only costs more than 10 million won, which has doubled."
"What about style? What do you want?"
"This needs to be discussed by you professionals. I don't know. If you are willing, I will contact you and you can have a chat."
