Chapter 356 Movie Plan
This music festival will select the top ten golden songs of 2013, among which "Confession Balloon", "Cultivating Love", "Time Boils the Rain", "The Only", "If There Is Another Life" and "Red High Heels" have all been nominated, In addition, Shen Fang's EP album "3.June" was also nominated for the best EP album. Qin Mohan was also nominated for the best female singer of the year in addition to being the best newcomer and the most popular female singer.

"Mohan is very likely to win the award. The organizing committee arranged for me to present the 2013 Most Popular Female Singer Award. This award is probably what Mohan is most likely to win." Shen Fang looked at Qin Mohan and said, "The best new female singer will probably be Given a few professional singers, the best female singer may be between Wei Weiyou and Li Yuchun. As for the top ten golden songs, it is not bad to win one or two, and it is estimated that "Confession Balloon" has the greatest possibility of winning." Group After confirming that the two will participate in tonight's grand ceremony, the committee also issued a special invitation, hoping that they could sing this song live, so Shen Fang had such a guess. "There should be at least three of the top ten golden songs. You account for nearly one-third of the twenty shortlisted songs. Even if you share the cake, you will get more points." Tan Weiwei disdains the practice of dividing the cake at the domestic awards ceremony. It seems that several of Shen Fang's songs should win awards.

Tan Weiwei's statement got He Li's approval: "If you count by the time of the champion singles, Shen Shao's songs are also dominant."

"Don't worry about it, it's just a show tonight, as long as the fans like it." Shen Fang stopped their complaints, and suddenly asked in a little surprise to the chat: "You should try on the clothes in the wheat field today, why? Come to us."

"I've already hired the personal stylist that Mai Tian prepared for me." Tan Weiwei said shyly, "I came here today to ask Sister Chen Lan for help, if possible, I'll hand over the image design to your company. "

"Do we have this business?" Shen Fang asked Qin Mohan who was on the side.

"Sister Chen Lan is very famous in the circle now, and the company is going to separate this side and set up an artist image design studio controlled by Wild Fox Company." Qin Mohan explained to Shen Fang: "I heard from Director Pan that the image of the company's artists will be improved in the future." The design package is given to this studio, which can facilitate the hedging of the company's accounts."

Last year, the company made too much profit. In order to avoid tax reasonably, it had to increase expenses. In the past, artist image design was an internal department of the company, and the cost was not calculated.Now that we are independent, we can share part of the profits. After all, business tax is much less than value-added tax.

Since Pan Yunxi must have her intentions in doing this, Shen Fang is going to take the time to talk to her. Tax avoidance is fine, but tax evasion is not allowed. The state is strengthening supervision in this area, and it will not be worth the loss if he is caught as a model.

After a while, Chen Lan, the image design director, came over, followed by employees from several dress shops, including the image consultant who Chanel worked with last time, who should be confirming the styles of several artists of the company.

Shen Fang's participation in the grand ceremony is a suit, which has been prepared in advance, and he can just do his hair in the afternoon, but Qin Mohan and the others need to choose the matching of clothing, accessories, and hairstyle first, and then they can follow it in the afternoon after they are determined. This program performs dress-up.

Shen Fang told Qin Mohan to take care of Han Xiao, and he planned to go upstairs to talk to Huo Mingda about some things.

Huo Mingda also has something to report to Shen Fang. He will rush to Guixi next Monday, and the filming of another annual drama "Flower Thousand Bone" invested by the company will start.This drama needs to be filmed in Lishui City, Western Guangxi Province. After all, Lin Na from the TV drama department has just entered the industry, and there are many connections that cannot be established. At this time, Huo Mingda, who has worked in the Shanghai Opera Group for many years, must The old man came forward.

"There are a lot of special effects shots in the movie "A Thousand Bone Flowers". How is the preparation of the ingenious work?"

What I drank was still the wild tea that Huo Mingda brought from his hometown, it was still so green, with a bit of fragrance in the bitterness.

Seeing that Shen Fang liked it, Huo Mingda asked the secretary to bring over a few catties of this year's new tea bags. "This time they will send people to follow the whole process of shooting, and Mr. Shen has added a lot of equipment, which can combine real-time scenes and special effects in real time, and there is no need to shoot completely with green screen like before."

Shen Fang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I heard Shen Lei brag about it to me, as if he poached several more talents from Weta Digital, and defrauded me of another sum of money to upgrade equipment."

Huo Mingda comforted him: "It is worth spending money in the right place. They have now fully absorbed the technology in the digital field, and they are among the top special effects companies even in Hollywood."

"I came to you just to talk about this." Shen Fang looked at Huo Mingda and said, "Our country's special effects are still focused on Xianxia, ​​flying around, to be honest, it's really a waste of their resources gone."

After taking a sip of tea, Shen Fang continued: "The application of special effects in sci-fi movies is even more shocking. There are several scripts for sci-fi movies in the script library of Benma Films. You said that we will set up a project and invest a lot of money in it." How about testing the waters?"

Regarding Shen Fang's plan, Huo Mingda shook his hands and asked uncertainly: "You mean "Three-Body Problem"?"

The novel "Three-Body Problem" is a full-length sci-fi masterpiece created by Liu Cixin, a famous Chinese science fiction writer, who spent five years constantly modifying and filling it.The worldview in this novel is huge, and the characters, races and scientific common sense involved are unprecedented.Moreover, the time span in "Three-Body" is also extremely long, from the 20s to the 60th century, as long as 26 years.

"I haven't considered making "Three-Body Problem" for the time being. The world view in this novel is very big, and if one is not good, it will hit the street." Shen Fang continued: "In the past few years, we will first test the waters with two or three independent novels. The sci-fi movie can not only exercise the uncanny technical level, but also arouse the domestic audience's interest in accepting domestic sci-fi movies, and it is appropriate to make "Three-Body Problem" at that time."

Shen Fang told Huo Mingda his thoughts on "The Three-Body Problem": "My plan is to polish the script first, extract different story lines in the novel, and divide them into a series of scripts. When the market matures in four or five years, first Making the first film in the series, starting with one of the plots in the second book of the novel "Dark Forest", could be a trilogy. Then make a third "Dead Immortal" trilogy, and finally shoot again Prequel "Three-Body Problem", so that other stories can be extended based on the first part, and finally an IP similar to "Star Wars" will be released."

Huo Mingda was overwhelmed by Shen Fang's plan. Although the box office of "Left Ear" reached 6.5 million, it still failed to catch up with Marvel's "Captain America 2".Hollywood is now making series films to form their own movie universes.Disney has its own Marvel universe, Star Wars universe, Warner Bros. has its own DC universe, and even Legendary Pictures is building its own monster movie universe.

If Wild Fox Company can create its own "Three-Body" universe, then in the next ten or 15 years, Wild Fox Company will become the leading film and television company in China. series can enter the Western market, and Wild Fox may one day become a world-class film and television company.Thinking of this, Huo Mingda's heart beats faster. If one day, he still has a chance to control this world-class film and television company, he will be famous in his life.

Huo Mingda calmed down his mood, and then said to Shen Fang cautiously: "We will keep this plan a secret for the time being. The domestic sci-fi film market must be cultivated, and the audience must realize that domestic sci-fi films have matured through two or three films. Otherwise With the current situation of Chinese film and television circles following suit and plagiarizing, when the time comes, swarms of sci-fi film circles will rush into the sci-fi film circle, good and bad, and shoddy, I am worried that they will close the opening that we have just opened."

Shen Fang was very satisfied with Huo Mingda's maturity and prudence. He nodded and said, "Well, your worry is not unreasonable. Let's do it in secret first. Anyway, there is overcapacity in the ghostly craftsman. Let's create the script first, and then let Prepare the preliminary work over there, and then two films will be produced together. If two or three films succeed in succession and form word-of-mouth, then if other companies want to enter, the audience will have a benchmark for comparison.”

"Okay, I'll find someone to polish the script first, no matter what type of movie script it is." Huo Mingda said to Shen Fang: "When the script is finished, we will consider the director. It is really impossible to invite some talented people from Hollywood. Assistant director with experience."

"Okay, you decide." Shen Fang agreed with Huo Mingda's suggestion.

The two reached a consensus on this matter, and Huo Mingda could start to operate.

Huo Mingda looked at Shen Fang with some embarrassment and said: "One more thing, "Xiu Chun Knife" is scheduled for July 7th, the director Lu Yang's appeal is not enough, and the leading actors Zhang Zhen and Wan Qian are not people who like to stir up topics. I hope Mohan can help to promote it."

If it wasn't for Shen Fang here, the company wouldn't need to discuss with Qin Mohan at all, just arrange her itinerary directly.

Shen Fang frowned: "Mo Han is only a small supporting role in this play, is it appropriate to use her as the topic of publicity?"

"Both the company's distribution department and the theater chain are confident in the quality of this film, but the director is not well-known and can't support the scene. In the early stage, he mainly used Mo Han's reputation to attract audiences to the cinema, and the follow-up will naturally rely on word of mouth. "The distribution department predicts that the film's box office will be around 1.5 million. If Qin Mohan's appeal can be added, the box office will at least double in the first week. With the support of word-of-mouth from this double audience, the final box office may double.

"I'll discuss it with her, and let's talk about it if her itinerary can be arranged." Shen Fang knows that there is a huge difference in interests, which is related to the company's distribution, public relations, theaters, and the multiple benefits of directors and crew members. After all, the box office is high. The commission is high.

"Okay." Seeing that Shen Fang didn't refuse directly, Huo Mingda said: "The company won't let Mo Han be busy. When she took on the film, her salary was only 20 yuan. The company planned to make up the salary to her."

Shen Fang nodded, he clearly divided between public and private, this is Qin Mohan's due income, so he must give it to her.Although Shen Fang is the boss of the company, he didn't let his fiancée contribute in vain.Moreover, the current system of Wild Fox Company is a joint-stock group company, and the CEO responsibility system is implemented. All income and expenses must be clearly listed in accordance with the rules and regulations, and they must be responsible to the company's shareholders.

"The film remuneration for Qin Mohan must be supplemented with taxes." Shen Fang emphasized again. This is what his uncle Jin Yi repeatedly told him. The country has planned to rectify the chaos in the entertainment industry in the past two years, and the taxation of artists is the The most important point: "The company's artistes must declare their taxes clearly, and they must not conceal their income. If any artist is dissatisfied, they can terminate the contract with him."

Seeing Shen Fang's emphasis on this point, Huo Mingda couldn't help not paying attention to it. He knew Shen Fang's background. Since he emphasized this point, it must be some big move by the country.

Huo Mingda assured Shen Fang: "Let me emphasize again with Director Pan that absolutely every income of an artist will be aboveboard."

"Well, that's good." Shen Fang nodded, and then talked about the affairs of several other companies: "Mr. Good" produced by Rong Zhixin has gone to the United States to shoot on location. I greeted him and asked him to take care of it. Wild Fox invested in several film and television dramas with Netflix in the United States, and there are still contacts in the circle."

"Thank you, Mr. Li told me about this. It should be much more convenient if Mr. Humphrey helps. I want to go to the United States recently and investigate Hollywood." Since there is Shen Fang's bridge, Huo Mingda is going to fly to the United States in person after the matter of "A Thousand Bone of Flowers" is over. The major Hollywood film and television companies are no longer as exclusive of investment from Huaxia Film and Television Company as before. If there is a good project, he can also insert it. Go for a kick.

"Okay, let Linda accompany you there." Shen Fang smiled: "She knows Hollywood better than us." Linda's ex-girlfriend is a Hollywood actor, and now she is also a celebrity of medium size.

"I'll talk to Mr. Lin when the time comes." Accompanied by Linda who is familiar with Hollywood, Huo Mingda gained a lot of confidence.

Then the two communicated about some of the company's recent investment and cooperation projects. Regarding the investment with Goose Factory Video, Wild Fox and Goose Factory are still discussing because of the equity, but for the two companies that are currently in the honeymoon period , that is, it can be resolved through communication within this month.

For the short video cooperation project with the beating characters, Shen Fang gave his own opinions.In addition to the soft cooperation with "Today's Toutiao", Shen Fang suggested that the company should organize some people in the public relations department to edit the tidbits and highlights of some film and television dramas and put them on Kuaishou for promotion.

Characters are now developing very rapidly, especially after the new acquisition of Kuaishou Short Video, Characters has enriched its own product content, and the number of APP downloads of several products has exceeded 50 million.The outside world’s current valuation of Zijidiao has exceeded [-] billion US dollars, which is five times higher than when Zhang Yiming communicated with him in March. If Zhang Yiming agrees to raise funds, a large number of investment companies will send checks to their door, just because Shen Fang With the strong support of this benefactor, Zhang Yiming currently has no plans to expand the mother-in-law circle.

Seeing that it was time for lunch, Shen Fang got up to say goodbye. There is a grand ceremony tonight, and I don't know when it will end, so I have to have a good lunch.It’s just that before leaving, I thought of another thing and told Huo Mingda: “Let’s continue the cooperation with Guangliang. Director Xu’s "Master of Hypnotism" will end the road show in these two days. It’s just right for him to form a team."

　I didn’t post it last night because I didn’t code a lot of words. I took some time to code this morning, and I made up [-] characters before posting.
