Chapter 84 Interview
In two months, two major hits appeared in Yisheng Media.
Coupled with the change of ownership of Tongda Cinemas, a series of explosive news shocked the film and television industry.
People will always pursue successful people.
The day when Yisheng Media officially topped the film and television industry was also the day when Li Xianyun received countless olive branches.
In addition to the old friends asking for strengthening contact, new friends are also taking the initiative to come to the door.
The most typical one is Zhang Damu.
He took the initiative to contact Li Xianyun, hoping to direct the next big production for him, and the price is easy to negotiate.
Li Xianyun asked about this area of easy negotiation.
Four million movie pay plus five percent of the box office share.
Hold!
If you agree with your good discussion, I will be four million cheaper than before?
Li Xianyun's nose was almost rude and politely expressed that Yisheng Media had small profits and limited profits.
In one sentence: Can't afford it!
Zhang Damu was speechless either.
Don't bring such a stingy person!
The summer season is not a holiday season. The situation of falling from the hottest momentum after the opening is not so obvious. There are still many stable passenger flows during the two-month holiday.
Judging from the current situation, the problem of over 2.5 billion in the first movie of the English Premier League is not that big. If the secret key is delayed, it may reach 3 billion.
Although it is much worse than the Avengers Wolf, it is still a hit after all.
Especially in your trilogy, this first part regained its investment.
No, you didn’t actually invest that much, and a lot of it was converted into resources.
At least I can share some with others.
However, stingy in business is the common feature of big bosses. Li Xianyun likes those who are strong but have no reputation. People like Chen Zili are good.
The most important thing is that Yisheng Media is now not only a star-making factory, but also a famous director factory.
Dong Zixin and Chen Zili can be said to be famous for Yisheng Media. Although Xu Han, Cao Hongyue, Li Longquan and others are not popular, they are considered veteran directors and their status has improved a lot compared to before. Even Rong Dasheng has become a famous photographer in the industry.
Rong Dasheng Yao Xiao: I am the director! Director!!!
Directors are not easy to train, but directors need opportunities more than actors.
Yisheng Media has the opportunity, so naturally countless directors come to join us with script storyboards.
So during this period, Li Xianyun was idle and studied those newcomers to see which ones were really thoughtful and he specifically asked for ideas.
You are responsible for thinking, I am responsible for realizing it!
Not to mention, I found a few good ones.
Today, Li Xianyun is interviewing a director who is relatively free today and is snatching the job of the Human Resources Department again.
Zhou Ximei looked at Li Xianyun nervously, he was looking at his own works.
Li Xianyun had seen it once, and after revisiting it again at this moment, he slowly said: "Did you do clothing photography before?"
"Yes." Zhou Ximei nodded: "Later, she took on some clothing promotional videos and advertisements."
Many film and television directors also came from advertising directors, including Michael Bay, the director of Transformers, and the director of the tits.
Different origins often have different characteristics.
Director Feng, who was born in the script, was born in the Beijing circle, so the story was well told; the master of the photographer was very powerful, and Michael Bey, who was born in the advertising director, inherited the characteristics of the advertising film, with gorgeous shots, sharp cuts, and flashy...
Of course there are exceptions. The suspense master Hitchcock is used as subtitles. You can never imagine that his thrilling and suspense ability is related to his previous career. There is also the famous truck driver Cameron, who can't find the connection between movies and trucks... Speed shots?
Too far-fetched.
Finally, it was Li Xianyun himself, who was obviously a writer and screenwriter, but he started out with special effects.
In short, subversion always exists.
Zhou Ximei is different. Clothing advertisements do not require such fast camera switching and dynamic and static interaction, not only beautiful scenery, people, but also beautiful clothes.
Otherwise, you can just shoot a nonsense costume advertisement.
Therefore, Zhou Ximei's ability to capture and shape is pretty good, but her storytelling ability is a bit weak.
"I've made a movie before? Online?" Li Xianyun continued to look at her resume.
Haven't you seen it all, and you still ask.
Zhou Ximei complained in her heart and said helplessly: "Yes, a small investment of 300,000 yuan is a terrible loss."
"This is not important. The character's inner thoughts are pretty good, with highlights, and although there are also shortcomings. It's a pity that I don't have the experience of big productions. But the fashion understanding is good." Li Xianyun looked up: "I plan to create a fashion series next, which is why I came to you."
Zhou Ximei was a little excited: "How much investment?"
"This doesn't matter." Li Xianyun shook his head and said, "This is the plan from this year to next year. Your fashion skills are OK and your camera can be used, but it's not just this to make movies. You will become one of the alternative directors of fashion films, but considering your existing abilities, you will need to participate in some production experience within the next year."
"Okay!" Zhou Ximei was overjoyed.
"This is a training." Li Xianyun said.
Zhou Ximei understood: "Formal employee?"
"Yes."
"Yes, but at this stage I can only be an office assistant."
Film and television companies will not have a special director position. For example, Dong Zixin and Xu Han are directors when filming, and when filming, they are office managers in the company and deal with other related matters.
However, Yisheng Media has many films, so most of the time they don’t have to worry about having no work. The manager stage is often also the preparation stage. You may make movies 200 days a year, and the rest of the time is in the office.
The opposite is true for small companies. It is good to be a director for 300 days in the office, and it is good to be a director for 65 days. Even 300 days in the office is good. Many young directors don’t have the opportunity to sit in the office.
The office assistant has a low status and low income, but it involves a lot of affairs, basically giving the boss all kinds of sadness.
If Zhou Ximei does this, it will be a downgrade.
Li Xianyun did this on purpose, which was a bit of a test.
He attaches great importance to his attitude. Without a heart that is fully committed to improving, he will lower his evaluation by half first.
After thinking about it, Zhou Ximei asked: "How many productions will I participate in in a year?"
"The filming of Kuanglong will start at the end of the month, a set of trilogy mecha films, a large production, and the planned completion time is about five months. You can participate. As for whether there will be a chance in the future, it depends on your performance."
"Where am I on the crew?"
"What do you want?"
"Sub-season director."
Li Xianyun smiled and said, "I am very worried, but I am personally responsible for the division of Kuanglong."
"What about the executive director?"
"Someone is there."
Zhou Ximei took a long breath: "Clothing design?"
“It’s done.”
"Then what else can I do?" Zhou Ximei was speechless.
"Assistant Director."
“…”
It really starts from the bottom.
Looking at Li Xianyun, he still smiled when he saw him.
Zhou Ximei thought for a while and said, "I hope to participate in the fashion design of fashion films, and it is best that I can also have script design."
"It's OK. Your office assistant will be involved in this."
"Okay, a one-year contract. If I can't see the day of success within a year, I can at least leave."
"Of course. This is not a prison." Li Xianyun laughed.
He stretched out his hand: "Welcome to Yisheng Media."
