Chapter 82: The New Star Director of Hong Kong
Lei Yunrong and Xu Guanwen chatted for a while before going to find Wu Siyuan. After all, Xu Guanwen is the protagonist today, and there are many people who want to socialize. You can't continue to chat with him like this. When the two of them chat, no one else was there.
Dare to come over.
Lei Yunrong also found that everyone was a little restrained when he was on the scene, so in order to make everyone enjoy their lives, he also asked Wu Siyuan to go to the side hall next to him.
Looking at Wu Siyuan's face flushed and his happy look, Lei Yunrong knew that he had been very comfortable during this period.
"Mr. Wu, I look in a good mood!"
"Lei Sheng, can you be unhappy? This time, our New Art City has made a big deal again. The scripts we received have increased several times recently, and many bosses of film companies have come to seek cooperation."
"More importantly, I feel that I have become much tougher when talking to Wrinkle Huo and Tycoon Shao, which is something I have never imagined before."
"These may be ordinary for Lei Sheng, but for me, Wu Siyuan, it can be said that it is the peak of life."
Looking at Wu Siyuan's excited look, Lei Yunrong said with a smile:
"Old Wu, you have to look at it a little longer, so where is it? Our New Art City has just begun!"
"That's right, it's because I have too narrow-minded eyes. I still have to see big names like you, Lei Sheng."
"Okay, stop flattering, I'm talking to you with some serious matters."
When Wu Siyuan heard Lei Yunrong talk about the serious matter, he also curled his smile and looked at Lei Yunrong waiting for him.
"I just chatted with Xu Guanwen for a while, and he said he wanted to take a break in Nian and had no plans to shoot a movie."
"He is so popular now and he actually wants to rest? What did he think!"
"Actually, I appreciate his doing this. It is rare to be able to stay awake and withstand temptations in the most glorious time. Most people do not have such great determination and perseverance."
When Wu Siyuan heard Lei Yunrong's words, he blushed a little. At first, he really thought that Xu Guanwen is so popular now, he should be shooting while the iron is hot and continue to make money. Before, he made a movie a year in Wu Siyuan.
In fact, it cannot be blamed for Wu Siyuan for having such an idea. The pace of making movies in Xiangjiang is already very fast at this moment, not just in the 1980s and 1990s.
"Xu Guanwen is indeed admirable to do this, but in this case we will not have a movie that will carry the flag next year."
"Old Wu, you can't do this. Do you have no confidence in making a movie as popular as Xu Guanwen?"
"I know my strength. Lei Sheng, you are not an insider in the industry, don't know how sharp Xu Guanwen is. Many people admire him very much."
"Old Wu, didn't your movie "The Great Robbery of Seven Million" get more than two million box offices this year? As long as you work harder, it's not a problem to catch up."
When Wu Siyuan heard the words of Lei Yunrong like this, he said with a wry smile: "Lei Sheng, the box office is not such a simple superposition of numbers. The box office becomes more difficult to improve the later box office, so Xu Guanwen broke the box office record one after another and was so sensational."
"So if this happens, do you have any plans? Our Xinyi City cannot say that it is only Xu Guanwen. This has a great hidden danger to us, and this is not something a normal company should have."
"Lee Sheng, I think we can increase the number of productions. Just like Shaw Brothers, there are always a few small or even big movies."
"You are opening a blind box, so there is too high uncertainty!"
"Blind box? What is a blind box?"
"This is not important. What I want to say is that this method is not very desirable. We do not have a large studio system like Shaw Brothers, which can minimize production costs and produce videos like assembly lines."
"Lei Sheng, I don't know if you have any good ideas."
"In fact, it is the same in all walks of life. The competition for enterprises is ultimately a competition for talents, and the film industry is the same. In the end, there must be more outstanding talents."
"But these excellent talents have been firmly seen by various companies, and it will be a lot of money if we dig them."
"If that's the case, we can cultivate ourselves."
"Cultivate yourself?"
"Yes, we should not always look at those who have become famous. They are now a little bit unable to keep up with the times. Instead, we should look at those young people more, they are the future of the future of Hong Kong movies.
”
"How can we select talented young people?"
"The phenomenon of seniority in the film industry is actually a bit serious. Since this is the case, we will break this routine and give these young people the opportunity to make movies."
"Next year we can build a new star director plan for Xiangjiang. If you invest in new directors, you don't need to invest too much. If your management passes the script and shooting plan, you will invest in them."
"This will not only cultivate our own excellent directors, but also enhance the reputation of our New Art City."
Lei Yunrong doesn't know exactly, but he roughly understands that many of the backbone of Xiangjiang films will return to Hong Kong from abroad on a large scale in the past two years, which not only injects new vitality into Xiangjiang films, but also set off a new wave in the film industry.
"How many such movies do we invest in Lei Sheng every year, and how much does each movie invest approximately?"
Lei Yunrong was a little speechless now. Is you the boss or I the boss?
"Old Wu, these things need to be discussed by you professionals in the company and give a feasible plan. You let me decide everything. The advice I give as an outsider may not be correct."
Wu Siyuan felt that Lei Yunrong was a little unhappy, and reacted and asked too stupidly, and said with a smirk:
"Mainly, Lei Sheng's advice you gave has achieved good results every time, which made me a little accustomed to it."
"No need to be careless. If Xinyi City wants to develop well, in addition to the people in front of the stage, the people behind the scenes are also very important. We must also cultivate and select an excellent team."
"There is also the plan that should not be limited to the director after this plan. Screenwriters are also very important. After the Xiangjiang New Star Director's plan is mature, you can also implement similar plans within the screenwriter."
It’s better to be abroad. In China, including Xiangjiang, the screenwriter really has no status unless you are already very famous, but the script is very important. The foundation of a play is not something to talk about.
"Lei Sheng, after I go back, I will ask the company's people to improve this plan together."
"You don't have to worry about this, just make it out before New Year's Day next year."
"Okay Lei Sheng, we will send it to you for a review, and you will check it out in the end."
Lei Yunrong nodded without responding, and said:
"Old Wu, do you have any shooting plans next year?"
“Not yet.”
"Then how about I'll give you an idea?"
"Of course it's good. Lei Sheng, your creativity is absolutely extraordinary. It's my honor to be handed over to me to make a movie."
Of course it must be good, but it must be good if it is not good!
Lei Yunrong knew that he was flattering, but it still sounded very comfortable and said:
Chapter completed!
