Rebirth started in 2004

Chapter 359 Small Budget Movies

His eyes swept across the meeting room. Basically, the management and ordinary employees of Long River Films will be present at today's meeting.

The only thing missing is the artists under Long River Films.

Does Long River Films have signed artists?
There are, and there are many.

Although there are no top-notch artists, there are quite a lot of first-tier, second- and third-tier artists.

Chen Wei: "As I said before, the film market is infinitely large. From a strategic point of view, Changhe Films' entry into the film industry is definitely a correct decision."

"But the strategy is correct, and it can't cover up the huge failure of Changhe Films in tactics!"

"In three years, I have invested in three movies, all of which are big-budget movies. I want to interview you. What do you think? Why are you so confident and want to start a big-budget movie?"

"1.6 million! How much money does Changhe Pictures have to lose?"

"Has no one thought about it, although Changhe Films has achieved great success in the TV drama business, it is still a proper newcomer in the movie business."

"The movie market and the TV drama market are completely different markets. TV dramas are for everyone to sit at home and watch to pass the time, so it's fine if you can have fun anyway."

"But movies are different. Audiences have to spend money to enter the cinema. Do you think audiences will pay for a piece of shit when they enter the cinema?"

Han Ting was sitting at the end of the conference room, wasn't she still boasting before?

Why did the style of painting suddenly change suddenly, and even papa said it?

"I watched the three movies you made before, what are they all made of!"

"What's the problem with these three films? Go and read the reviews of film critics and audiences. I don't want to say more."

"In the future, Changhe Films will not give up the film business. However, we can't just invest tens of millions in filming like before."

"In the next two years, Changhe Pictures will invest [-] million yuan to make movies."

Didn't I just say that if you don't invest in big investments, why is there another [-] million?

Don't be afraid to lose again!
"This [-] million does not mean making one movie, but twenty or even fifty movies!"

"What do you mean? It means that we, Changhe Pictures, will follow the route of low-budget films."

Chen Wei: "Mr. Xu, I hope to see an analysis report on low-budget movies in my mailbox next Monday."

The corner of Xu Lei's mouth moved: "Okay."

"As for the TV drama business, continue to maintain it. If you want to occupy a place in the market, then the quality of the product must be excellent. Good actors, good scripts, good directors and good crews work together to polish it. Good drama. Regarding the use of actors, I make a very clear request that those so-called idol stars whose acting skills are sloppy are not allowed to be used as leading actors."

"We rely on quality to win the market, not rely on someone's reputation."

Li Fei lowered her head slightly, she was afraid that she would laugh out loud.

Because she suddenly remembered one thing, that is, Redo invited many celebrities to endorse.

There is a kind of meaning that I will invite someone who is popular!
Redo's celebrity endorsement strategy has also greatly increased its sales.

Purely in terms of sales volume, Redo is a few blocks behind UNI.

But in terms of net profit, Redo is naturally not as high as UNI, but it is left behind by UNI.

Chen Wei came to Changhe Films not only to adjust the business strategy of Changhe Films.

As for the business strategy, in fact, he and Xu Lei can sit together and discuss it.

"Regarding the artist brokerage business of Long River Films, adjustments have to be made. The future positioning of Long River Films does not mean that we want to make anyone a star. We want to make good works, and we want to make good films. If it is a work, then there must be suitable actors.”

"That is to say, in the TV dramas and movies invested by Changhe Films in the future, let's not talk about it, we will first use our own company's artists. Our first priority is to choose suitable artists to play this role."

Putting an inappropriate person in an inappropriate position will definitely make people feel uncomfortable.

The actors themselves are not used to it, and the audience is not used to it either.

Everyone was shocked when they heard Chen Wei's request.

Artists are an extremely important resource for a film and television company, and they wish they could hold them firmly in their hands.

If you want to make profitable TV series and movies, good entertainers are a must.

And artist resources are limited.

Wait, a few years ago, there were very few famous artists, but now, the situation is very different.

And entering the Internet era, it is a pure traffic era.

From today to tomorrow, everything is normal.

For new artists, everyone has this feeling, where did this come from?
Why didn't I hear it at all before?

Film and television companies need artists, and artists also need film and television companies.

Because the shooting resources are all in the hands of the film and television company, if an artist wants to maintain his life and fame, he must constantly produce new works.

What if there is no work?
What will happen, everyone knows.

To be forgotten by the audience is a cruel thing for an artist.

Xu Lei: "Director Wei, before we attracted artists because we would tilt our company's film and television resources towards them. If there is no such advantage, then the company's original artists may lose a lot of people."

Chen Wei said indifferently: "Inclining, of course there is no problem. Under the same conditions, it is also possible to give priority to artists from our own company."

Chen Wei didn't mention disbanding the brokerage department. In the future, the company will find actors from outside for all filming.

Right now, that's pretty unrealistic.

Long River Pictures is not without competitors.

Let's put it this way, most of the other film and television companies are competitors of Changhe Films.

The film and television market looks huge, right?
Actually very small.

For example, in the TV drama market, there are only so many star TV stations, and there are only a few excellent star TV stations.

CCTV will not talk about it.

Such as Mango, Capital, Dongfang, Zhelan.

As for other TV stations, just the second and third tier TV stations.

Everyone wants to sell their dramas to good TV stations, because the prices they give are high!

If it cannot be sold to a good TV station, then it can only be sold to other TV stations cheaply.

There is a question of interests involved.

Anything that involves interests is not so easy to talk about.

"In addition, I hope to change the management department. The management model needs to be changed. We and artists can't be like the traditional way. Artists are employees in the company. The company keeps squeezing value from artists and so on. .”

"The artists must be graded, and those outstanding artists must be given the respect and status they deserve."

Let's put aside the identities of artists such as stars and idols. For Changhe Films, these are top talents who can help the company make money.

Then treat this kind of talent as an ordinary employee, can they be happy?
