Entertainment starts with variety shows

Chapter 578 Picking the Ugliest Nezha

After finishing this department, director Jiaozi went to another department. From special effects to every scene, he was familiar with it by heart. Opening his mouth was the difficulty and the point to overcome.

"Persevere, everyone, I will give you bonuses after the project is over, and I have overcome the most difficult times. Now the money is not bad, and the conditions are better. There is no reason why it is more difficult than before!"

The director appeases and motivates the staff from time to time, and directly increases the money without any false talk.

Last year, the staff of Shen Gongbao ran away. The reason was that the wages were low and they had to work overtime every day. They couldn't bear it. At that time, funds were tight, and everyone was really generating electricity for love.

"Where is Director Yang busy?" Fang Jing saw that he was standing there for a long time and no one answered him, so he went directly to the dumpling director.

Dumpling is a nickname, real name is Yang Yu, born in the [-]s, like most middle-aged men, his hair is a bit bald, and his hairline has slipped so badly that he has to cut his hair.

"Mr. Fang, why do you have time to come over here? Sit down quickly, and sit down wherever you want." It is rare to see Fang Jing, a legendary figure in the company, who can't see the end of the dragon, and Dumpling is very enthusiastic.

After three months in the company, it was the first time he saw Fang Jing in person.

Pulling a chair to sit down, Fang Jing casually said, "You guys are quite busy here, why are there so many people?"

"It's still relatively small. Counting outsourcing company personnel and post-production, it adds up to more than 600 people."

"The scene is quite big, did it use so many people?"

"No way! It can be done by us alone, but if it takes a long time, everyone may have emotional problems. Some simple tasks are better than outsourcing to other companies. The main body is in our hands."

"It's not just simple work, is it?" Fang Jing smiled, "I just heard that you also outsource some difficult projects."

"Haha, I really can't hide it from Fang Jing's ears."

Poured a glass of water for Fang Jing, Yang Yu sat across from him, withdrew his smiling face, and said in a deep voice: "Although we are Nezha, the staff are not Nezha, they don't have three heads and six arms, and they know everything."

"Outsourcing simple tasks to other companies is to save time, and it is also to save time to finalize the hard bones to other companies, as long as we control the main context."

"This is similar to an assembly line. Each person has a station, and finally they are gathered here for assembly. That is a complete movie."

"Assembly workers are not important, what matters is the final assembly person."

In one sentence, Yang Yu outsourced Fang Jing completely, and swallowed what he asked you to do.

"But it's a lot of consumption. I heard that your side is at least 1000 million a month. The finance department complained to me, and some department leaders were also dissatisfied."

"It's only been a few months, Mr. Fang, will it cost more than 3000 million in three months?" Yang Yu jumped up, spitting, "The reason why we did it in the past was because everyone relied on their dreams to support them, and many of them died. I haven’t complained about my salary for several months.”

"Take me as an example. At that time, I didn't go home for half a year. I slept in the studio every day. I didn't ask for a penny. The house was sold and I had more than 30 foreign debts."

"Now, thanks to you for not giving up, you bought Nezha, and you are willing to continue to use us. You have given our group a bite to eat, but some expenses are really unavoidable..."

Hearing the loud voice here, the others put down their work and looked over.

Fang Jing's head was buzzing, and he licked his ears and said, "I have no problem with using good steel on the blade, but today you have to give me an amount, how much, and how long it will take to finish it."

Nezha is a good movie, there is no doubt about it. It took three years and an investment of 7000 million in the previous life to complete it.

Although Fang Jing has a lot of money, he is not stupid. Now he has spent 7000 million in addition to the 3000 million bought out, and his budget in mind is about [-] million in total.

If Jiaozi dared to open his mouth too much to exceed this number, he could only change teams.

"It's 700 million yuan not counting the publicity cost. It may be a little more, but the difference should not be too big." After thinking for a while, Yang Yu replied to Fang Jing.

"In terms of time, it can be finished before the end of this year. If Mr. Fang wants to release it on New Year's Day, everyone can work overtime to make it. However, I suggest to put it in the Spring Festival file. There is plenty of time, so we can polish it carefully."

"Okay, I'll give you the money!" Fang Jing got up, "If the time comes to exceed the budget, you have to pay for the extra money yourself, or leave."

Nezha's ownership was bought, Yang Yu was fired, and if the team was changed, it would be screened without his name.

Years of painstaking efforts came in vain, Fang Jing believed that Yang Yu would not want to fall into that situation.

"Don't worry, Mr. Fang, the extra money is mine, it will only be less than more." Yang Yu's eyes were fiery, and his chest was pounding.

Every time the box office exceeds 100 million, he will be given a bonus of [-] million, which is the company's commitment when poaching him.

Therefore, he also wants to sell well at the box office.

"Mr. Fang, there is a problem now. I have drawn more than 100 pictures of Nezha's characters but there is no result. Let's have a look and try to order one."

After taking Yang Yu's picture, Fang Jing looked at it for 5 minutes, and chose the ugliest Nezha, with a pair of dark circles under his eyes and sharp teeth.

This is exactly the same as the previous life.

As soon as Fang Jing left, Yang Yuyu yelled at his assistant, "Get back the few projects outsourced yesterday, we will do it ourselves!"

Considering that Nan Jing's family has a big business, his previous methods were indeed a bit rich. In fact, some tasks they can do by themselves are outsourced for the sake of ease and convenience.

Only then did Fang Jing come to warn him.

……

Fang Jing went downstairs and came out, just in time to see people from the actor training class queuing up to get on a bus, led by Zhang Yi.

"Brother Zhang, the chicken feather is finished? Congratulations."

If Chicken Feather Flying to the Sky hadn't finished, Zhang Yi wouldn't be here.

"Fang Jing! Well, it was finished last week, and you didn't say anything when you came back. We haven't seen each other for half a year."

"A bunch of shit, busy!" Fang Jing smiled, looked at the group of them and asked, "Where are you going?"

"The company's film and television base, take them to play tricks for a few days, and they can't learn much in class every day."

"This is fine! Practice more and feel it will be good for the future, then I won't delay you, see you later."

"See you!"

Watching the bus go away, looking back and squinting at the company building, Fang Jing was relieved, these are all his world!

In the early days, Nanjing was all supported by him alone, and there were Yang Chaoyue, Wang Xiaomin, Zhang Zhijian, Li Jianyi, and Zhang Mingen as the backbone.

Now the latest batch of fresh blood has also started to rise. In two or three years, these people will grow up, and by then, Nan Jing will be able to survive without him.

It’s not uncommon for a company to rely on a leading artist to support it. The current Sugar Man Film and Television is supported by Hu Ge, and Yang Mi’s Jiahang is also supported by her alone.

But such a company will not last long, no one can be popular for a lifetime, and there will always be times of trough.

Otherwise, Fang Jing didn't need to work hard to bring Zhang Mingen and Yang Zi to the show, and write songs for Yang Chaoyue and Wang Xiaomin to train them.

As long as the company's top artists are strong, there are strong middle forces and a steady stream of fresh blood, this company will last forever.
