The Lunar New Year is approaching, Su Lun's "Warm and Bright" will be released in two days, and "I Am Legend" will be released in a month and a half.
But at this time, Song Ge, the perfect film and television boss in charge of online promotion, came over and said that he was going to change jobs soon?
What is this!
"Director Li, I didn't mean to hide this from you. I just decided where to go." Song Ge said apologetically.
As a partner, if one party suddenly changes the speaker, it will definitely have a great impact on the cooperation between the two parties.
As the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier, every boss has a different strategic vision and direction.
However, the film and television industry is better, after all, there is only such a small industry, and the cooperation between Li Qian and Perfect Film and Television only leaves online publicity and marketing to them.
Song Ge's resignation is not a big deal, as long as the movie can be promoted well.
"Then I would first like to congratulate Mr. Song on taking charge of Wanda Pictures, but I hope that the handover of your work will not affect the promotion of the subsequent two films."
As people move towards higher ground, although Wanda Pictures is a start-up, it has no impressive results, but with Wanda behind it and Wanda Cinemas, the largest theater chain in the country, it will definitely achieve some results.
"Don't worry, Director Li, Chi Yufeng will take over all the work of Perfect Film and Television starting from next Monday. However, the marketing plan for the movie has been prepared long ago and will not affect the promotion of the movie." Song Ge said with a smile.
Li Qian nodded, but asked curiously, "Mr. Song, can I take the liberty to ask why you are leaving at this time?"
It’s a very puzzling question. Chi Yufeng and Chi Yufeng co-founded the company behind Perfect Film and Television. The development of Perfect Film and Television in the past two years has been very good, good enough to make all companies jealous.
"There's no conflict, just different ideas. Chi Yufeng thinks that movies are too risky, so he can just do movie promotions and focus on TV series production.
TV dramas are too restricted by TV stations. Only the film industry has the smallest external impact. Once it is done well, it can become big." Song Ge said.
For this reason, Li Qian also understands that the risk of making TV series is low, even though most domestic TV series cannot achieve star status, but for larger companies, this situation is less common.
"But Director Li, we will take away some of the employees of Perfect Film and Television. I still hope to continue to cooperate with Director Li after next year." Song Ge added.
"You? Mr. Du will also go to Wanda together?" Li Qian asked.
"Maybe it won't be until next year. It will take some time." Du Yang said with a smile, "In fact, Director Li can set up a company by himself. With the current prospects of your studio, there is no shortage of people."
Wanting Li Qian's business, and then suggesting that he start a company of his own to do publicity and distribution, it's strange that he is not qualified to make such a suggestion.
There was a trace of deep thought in Song Ge's eyes, but he didn't care.
With Li Qian as his trump card, Song Ge still wants to join Wanda because of his ambition, just as he said when he first met Wang Jianlin.
China does not have an Anti-Monopoly Law. Since Wanda has the advantage of theater chains, it can become a film and television company that integrates theater chains, production, agents, and artist management, a film and television company that monopolizes the entire industry.
With the current size of the film and television company, Wanda only needs to spend more than one billion, through equity investment and other methods, to acquire most of the country's top directors and agencies.
.......
I still had some trouble. I finally found a company suitable for me to work for, but I had to look again.
Both Song Ge and Du Yang have to leave for Wanda. Without Du Yang, a top marketing talent in the industry, and they will take their own team with them, Perfect Film and Television will obviously not be a qualified worker.
As for Wanda, it is even more inappropriate. With the support of theaters, Wanda will definitely make movies on its own, and it will definitely be a big one. It is impossible to focus all its energy on his movies.
What Li Qian needs is a company that specializes in marketing for him, a professional wage earner.
Trouble, Li Qian sighed and returned home.
"What's wrong with you? You sigh when you come back?" Tong Liya held a script and looked at Li Qian in confusion.
"It's nothing. It's just a small matter. I need to change to a company that does online promotion." Li Qian said roughly.
What else does Tong Liya think about, "Isn't it enough to just set up my own company? It saves money in exchange. Many celebrities have started to have their own marketing teams."
"It's not that easy. The star team is simple, and the marketing of a movie can easily cost tens of millions. It's not that easy."
Even if you don’t count offline, you must be familiar with all aspects of the four major online portals, various online media, and websites.
"I think you should have expanded the studio a long time ago. With Su Lun and Brother Fan, they are enough to support a big company. You can make your own movies, distribute them, promote them, and sign some actors. In a few years, you can have one." The scale of Huayang Media." Tong Liya said it clearly.
It is no problem for a few hit directors to support a big company, and it is even easier to sign actors. If you really want to sign actors, you can sign as many actors as you want.
but.
"It's too troublesome. One movie a year is tiring enough. If you manage a company again, you'll become a robot. You can't even think about resting all year round." Li Qian shook his head.
"I don't even make any money." Tong Liya pouted, "How could you be so weird? It's been rumored that Ma Xiaogang will leave Huayang next year and start his own company."
Li Qian smiled, "With Ma Xiaogang's frequency of filming and his age, it would be great if he could still manage a company. At most, it would be a shell company, probably to bargain with Huayang. Xu Ke ran to talk to Bernard Cooperation, if Huayang Media no longer has Ma Xiaogang, it will be over."
In order to make more money, I take up my only rest time, which is not worth it.
Just like working, if you are given 5,000 yuan every week on 9-6-5, and 6,000 yuan on 9-6-5 every week, most people will choose 9-65 as long as there is no pressure to survive.
One movie a year is already a very high frequency of filming. If he had not stood on the shoulders of giants, Li Qian would not have been able to complete it, and there are not many people in the country who can do it.
If I were to do something else, I wouldn’t be able to manage my time or plan enough.
"The only option is to directly acquire a company, or to have a reliable professional manager take full charge of the company without having to worry about it. It's okay to open a company this way."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. We'll talk about it after we've been busy for a while."
I have a lot of things on my hands, and the post-production of "I Am Legend" has not been finished yet.
"The movie will be released soon. When will the TV series be cast after it's finished?"
"I just went to a press conference, and the filming will start at the end of December, and I have to be busy until the Chinese New Year." Thinking of the subsequent work, Tong Liya also felt a big headache and didn't want to read the script. She threw herself on Li Qian and said weakly.
"I must have a good rest next year!"
"I just want to take a rest. Who is unwilling to return from the Hundred Flowers Prize empty-handed?" Li Qian said with some humor.
The biennial Hundred Flowers Awards were held in Jiangyin in mid-October, and the Best Actress Award was won by Zhao Wei for her performance in "Mulan".
After being nominated for Baihua Film for the first time, although my rationality told me that it was impossible to win the award, people are like this. They knew it was impossible, but they were full of expectations in their hearts.
Li Qian didn't win the best director either, and gave it to Ma Xiaogang of "Earthquake".
However, it won the best feature film together with "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", and then "Earthquake" and "Shattered Earth" won the outstanding feature film.
Chen Kun defeated Zhang Hanyu to be crowned emperor with "Painted Skin". If he hadn't won the best actor title last time, it would most likely be Zhang Hanyu's this time.
Then the big hit "The Wind" won the Best Supporting Actor, and "The Founding of a Republic" won the Best Supporting Actress. They were evenly divided.
"I want to win the Best Actress once, but didn't you tell me that I have no qualifications and no connections, so don't even think about it in the short term." Tong Liya muttered.
"Then just use the number of nominations. If you are nominated four or five times in a row, you will always be given an award. Film festivals are like this, and you are not a genre film actor. You will not be nominated eight or nine times and not be given an award."
Either there are personal connections, or the performance is impeccable and cannot convince the public, or it should be given one even though it has been nominated many times, or the role in the movie is special, anyway, these things must be equal.
Tong Liya smiled and said, "What should I do? I feel like I am getting lazy."
"...You're too lazy to be reasonable."
"It's not because of you that you have no motivation to work hard."
"Didn't I say last year that I wanted to become a big star? Now I have no motivation?"
"I'll wait until the movie becomes a hit."
"..."
Li Qian slapped Tong Liya on the leg with his backhand, "It seems I have to give you a good whip."
"What?"
Tong Liya didn't react for a moment and spat at him, "Bah, you're talking like a human being."
"Is there any problem with my speaking Chinese?"
"I don't know where I learned it from," Tong Liya said angrily.
"In the Xinhua Dictionary, all Chinese characters are listed in it." Li Qian spread his hands.
"Not serious!"
"Whoever is not serious? Sit properly. If you sit with no posture, you will be paralyzed as if you have no bones."
Li Qian adjusted his position and let Tong Liya lean in his arms, picked up his laptop, clicked on a movie and started watching.
"?"
The movie started playing, it was a cartoon, Li Qian was still staring at the screen seriously.
Feeling the big hands roaming around her legs, Tong Liya couldn't help but say, "Are you really going to watch a movie?"
"Look, Guo Fan recommended it, saying it is the best domestic cartoon in recent years. He plans to adapt it into a movie."
