There is a bar in Houhai

Chapter 44 Planning
"Is everything arranged at home, is the child satisfied with the school?" Shen Fang asked.

Huo Mingda's office is on the 22nd floor of Rongchuang Center, with an area of ​​about 80 square meters. The decoration style is decorated by Linda according to his requirements, which is light and luxurious.It is both elegant and stylish, which is very suitable for the identity of the CEO of a film and television company with assets worth hundreds of millions.

Huo Mingda has a 14-year-old son who is just in the second grade of junior high school. Shen Fang asked someone to help him contact a key middle school in Yanjing.

"It has been arranged, the school is very good, and the child is very satisfied." Huo Mingda did not ask the secretary to help, but prepared to make tea for Shen Fang himself.

There is a small tea room in Huo Mingda's office, a small wooden table made of mahogany, full of tea making utensils.Huo Mingda did not perform tea-making skills like the Kung Fu tea version, but simply scooped a few pieces of tea leaves with a wooden spoon made of mahogany and put them into a tureen, poured the boiling water in the pot next to it, then poured it out, and added boiling water to brew again Putting it in front of Shen Fang: "This is a wild tea brought from my hometown. Although it is not well-known, it does not have a tea flavor."

The green tea water is exceptionally clear in the blue and white porcelain tureen. The tea leaves are very thin and irregular in shape. The celadon is held in the palm of the hand, and a few tea leaves are stretched in the clear green liquid.The tea is very fragrant, as tangy as an orchid; the mouthfeel of the tea is very clear, and the tea soup swirls in the mouth, with a slight sweetness in the bitterness.Fresh and refreshing like Maofeng, fresh and sweet like Biluochun, rich and sweet like Longjing, everything goes without saying.

"Good tea, do you have any more? I'll make some later." Shen Fang was not polite, and he would search for good tea.

"No problem, it's not a famous tea, as long as Mr. Shen likes it." Huo Mingda ordered the secretary to share some of his tea leaves with Shen Fang.

"Linda is preparing for the Shanghai branch recently. Yanjing needs Mr. Huo to take care of you. If there is not enough staff, we can arrange Dai Shanshan to recruit people. Next year, our company's business will still be very heavy." Shanghai is the Huaxia film and television circle. Another important base, as long as a film and television company with development ideas will put its headquarters in Yanjing or Shanghai, and establish an important branch in another place.After obtaining Shen Fang's consent, Huo Mingda arranged for Linda to be in charge of preparing the Shanghai branch.

"I'm going to Shanghai in a few days, just to see the company's preparations." Shen Qingyi's birthday is coming up in a few days, and people in Shanghai pay attention to her 49th birthday this year, so she hasn't been here for so many years By his mother's side, Shen Fang planned to celebrate his mother's birthday this year.

"It would be better if Mr. Shen went to Shanghai to help watch it." Huo Mingda took a sip of tea, watched the conversation end, and prepared to report on his work: "Next year, the film projects confirmed by our Wild Fox Film and Television Production Company are not only "Embroidered". "Spring Knife" invested 2500 million yuan. A colleague of mine in Shanghai introduced a project, Diao Yinan's "Fireworks in the Day", a literary film with an investment of 2000 million yuan; in addition, the famous writer Han Han plans to cross-bank to shoot his own We are in contact with the debut work, and it is estimated that the investment will be about 5000 to 5000 million; Director Niu also told me some time ago that he has a movie plan and asked me to prepare an investment of about [-] million for him."

"Diao Yinan? I seem to have heard of his name." Shen Fang thought for a while: "It should be a graduate of Central Opera, I remember that there should be a literary film "Uniform" that he made, and he took it abroad back then. A small prize."

Huo Mingda said: "It's him. This film is also a literary film, and the investment is quite large. He also ran in Yanjing for a long time but failed to find an investor, so he found my old unit and planned to look for it in Shanghai. Investment, an old colleague of mine introduced him to me."

"Show me the script and project proposal later." Shen Fang said: "If it's not suitable for the 'Bad Monkey 72 Transformation Film Project', then go with us, especially those directors who have proven themselves before. We have to show them our enthusiasm for investment, so that if there are good projects, they will continue to look for us.”

"Mr. Shen, Miss Han recommended us to acquire Yanjing Digital Impression Production Company. The boss is Yao Yubin. Among the major shareholders are Tian Zhuang and Professor Tian. Their company has invested in several literary films and has been losing money. The latest film is a female Director Xue Xiaolu's first film "Beautiful Destiny" was actually filmed in the United States, and the investment exceeded. Several shareholders of their company were not optimistic about this film and wanted to divest their capital. Their boss Yao also wanted to sell the company They have a mature film and television shooting team. If we take over, we can save a lot of preparation work. Professor Tian asked Ms. Han to contact us and asked us if we want to take over. I have already arranged an inquiry, and the acquisition cost is about 3000 million. Basically, it is the investment cost of the movie "Beautiful Destiny"."

"Have you watched the movie "Beautiful Destiny"?"

"I watched the rough cut version once. It's a typical chick movie. The director Xue Xiaolu's level is not bad. It was shot with a female sense, and the emotions are quite delicate."

"Well, I'll take the time to watch this movie today."

Shen Fang paused for a moment: "Director Xu Zheng called me yesterday and said that he used to have a friend named Tian Yusheng, who was also the screenwriter of the first part of "People on the Journey". I am directing myself, and I am looking for investment everywhere. You can contact them to see if you can invest in them. If possible, we’d better get a stake in their studio. I heard from Xu Zheng that the screenwriters in their studio are quite talented, And that's exactly where we're weakest right now."

"Okay, I've made a note. I'll find someone to inquire about their situation in the afternoon." Huo Mingda recorded this matter.

"I arranged for Sui Dong to collect online copyright last time, how did he do?" Shen Fang asked.

"Yesterday he gave me a report. Currently, the copyrighted online articles include Rao Xue's "Left Ear", Haiyan's "Langya Bang", Tang Qi's "Hua Xu Yin", "Three Lives III" series, The authors of Gu Man's "Why Shengxiaomo" and "Small Smile is Alluring", these authors are very satisfied with our quotations and have long-term cooperation intentions. In addition, the other "A Thousand Bone Flowers" and "Eleven Places" that you introduced Secret Service Concubine" was bought by Ciwen Film and Television the year before last, and Sui Dong is following the other web novels."

"What's the plan for adapting these web novels?"

"The scripts of these plays are being created. "Left Ear" is going to be adapted into a movie. Rao Xue has been entrusted to write the script. If the script is suitable, we plan to put forward the plan next year." Movies are a relatively familiar business for Huo Mingda. I am quite optimistic about the prospect of the movie "The Left Ear". After all, this novel has been selling well for a long time and has a certain audience base.

"The script of "Why Shengxiaomo" is almost completed, and we are going to start preparations in the first half of the year. The filming will start in July and August this year. "Hua Xu Yin" and "Langya Bang" are going to be produced in 2014, and the production of "Three Lives III" The plan is in 2015, so that we will have continuity in our TV series in the next few years." Huo Mingda then made a report on the TV series project planning for the next few years.

Shen Fang nodded and said: "Let the planning department pay more attention to web literature projects. There will be more and more web literature adaptation projects in the next few years. In addition, the choice of actors for our film and television projects should not be too limited to our own company. After all, it has just been established, and the foundation is still very weak. We can give up some resources, male and female, in exchange for the same resources to train our newcomers. I would like to remind Mr. Zhang that the layout should be more generous and generous. Only then can you get it, and you can’t take everything to your own home.”

"I will pay attention to this. After all, Liang Hui is the only one who can take the lead in Chengxing Tianxia. The qualifications of the few newcomers are not bad, but they need to experience for two or three years." Huo Mingda deeply agrees with Shen Fang's suggestion, and Zhang Jiajia It was still the situation of being an agent in the past. When encountering any resources, the first thing that comes to mind is the artists under him. He has not yet set his sights on the position of the boss of a film and television company. Huo Mingda used to work in Shanghai Film Group, and he knows very well The operation mode of win-win cooperation and shared risk.

"Communicate with Director Niu and Mr. Zhang. We will hold a press conference at the end of the year to announce the results of our 'Bad Monkey 72 Transformation Project' and our 2013 filming plan. We are a new company. , Sometimes you need to show your own strength to attract the attention of the media."
