I become a big star after I sleep

Chapter 111 Preparing for the coming blockbuster era

What's the latest news in the entertainment industry?
Zhang Yimou's "Golden Armor" has been finalized and has entered post-production.

Zhang Yimou is suspected to be at odds with Zhang Weiping, and the "two Zhangs" are afraid of breaking up.

The sales of Zhou Jianlun's new album are hot, and the name of the king is confirmed!

Zhou Huimin's "Sweet Pea Flower" blooms all over the Taiwan Strait, and it has everything you want!
This is the news reported by the media that the audience can see.

However, the internal news that the circle pays attention to is not these.

A company called "Chao Qin Mu Chu" was established.

A TV series called "You Who Came from the Star" sold 5000 million yuan for the first round of broadcasting rights, setting the highest price for the first round of a Chinese TV series.

And "You Who Came From The Stars", one of the producers, is this company called "Chao Qin Mu Chu".

"I knew that Xiao Qin would not disappoint people, 5000 million! The first round was sold for 5000 million! The final profit is at least twice the investment!"

Wang Zhonglei walked up and down the office happily.

Wang Zhongjun sat on a chair and looked at the contract that had just been faxed on the table.

Chao Qin Mu Chu Company and Jiang Wen Studio have already signed and signed the contract. As long as Hua Yi, the final producer, signs, the 5000 million contract will come into effect.

Wang Zhonglei walked to Wang Zhongjun's side, saw that Wang Zhongjun was staring at the contract motionless, and Huayi's signature was still empty, and asked:
"Brother, why don't you sign it? There is a problem with the contract? The legal affairs have read it..."

Wang Zhongjun came back to his senses:

"There's nothing wrong with the contract."

While taking out a pen to sign the contract, he said:

"Mango TV spent a lot of money to buy the live broadcast of the celebration banquet last time, right? The leader of this Mango TV station is not an ordinary person. In the future, the company's artists can contact and cooperate with their station more. Whether it's a thousand dollars to buy a horse bone or the first to eat crabs , it takes a lot of courage..."

……

Chaoqin Muchu Company.

Among the area of ​​more than 2000 square meters, the office area accounts for 500 square meters, and there are more than [-] square meters, all of which are film and television post-production areas.

Dubbing, editing, soundtrack... There is even a place to record songs.

In other words, Qin Muchu can complete all the post-production work of "Star You" in the company, and there is no need to go to Yanying to borrow equipment.

"Director Ma, Director Qin is still in the post-production stage? I haven't been out for more than ten days, will my body be overwhelmed?"

Ma Debiao, the former deputy director Ma, is now the production director of the film and television department of "Chao Qin Mu Chu Company".

Responsible for actor coordination, outdoor location layout, etc., and assisting the shooting process according to Qin Muchu's plan.

In fact, he is doing the same thing as when he was an assistant director, except that once the crew was disbanded before, he became unemployed, but now he is a regular worker with a salary.

"It should be fine. I just saw that Director Qin looks pretty good."

Ma Debiao shook his head and looked at the woman opposite:

"By the way, Mr. Zhao, just now Director Qin asked me to ask if you have taken back the film that you used for special effects before. He wants to see it."

The woman's name is Zhao Mingyu, 36 years old, with excellent appearance, wearing a work uniform, short hair, looks neat and tidy, and looks like a strong woman.

His resume is also very brilliant. He is a high-achieving overseas returnee. He used to be a corporate executive on Wall Street in the United States. Later, because he beat up the white boss who wanted to take advantage of him, he couldn't get along there, so he returned to China to develop.

After traveling for two years, I found that the domestic workplace is far more complicated than that of the United States, especially in large enterprises, where the rules of favor are far greater than strength.

Simply put, if you want to be in a high position, you have to have someone above you.

And she just didn't.

Two days ago, with the mentality of giving it a try, I applied for the general manager of this company called "Chaoqin Muchu", but I didn't expect to pass it.

When she saw that the interviewer was the famous director Jiang Wen, she was half in a state of dizziness.

Jiang Wen cut to the chase with a cigarette between his fingers:
"I've read your resume, and I don't think I can learn a single English word in my life. I fully believe in your ability.

There is only one question: Can you manage the company independently without letting the boss worry about it? "

After she said "yes" in a daze, she became the general manager of the "Chaoqin Muchu" company that day, and she started work through a one-stop process.

In the company, apart from a few shareholders, she is the most powerful person.

"The special effects have been sent back, and I'm about to tell Director Qin." Zhao Mingyu replied.

She was extremely serious about the first task assigned to her by the company's biggest boss.

On the day I received the task, I went to find a special effects company in person to compare the strength and cost performance.

"Then you go, Director Qin happens to be eating right now."

Ma Debiao said he was leaving, he had other things to do.

"Director Qin is still eating? Wouldn't it be a good time to go?" Zhao Mingyu asked.

If it were her who was two years ago, let alone the boss was eating, even if the boss was in the health care department, she would have to arrest him and report him to work.

It can only be said that the environment forced her to grow up.

"No, just talk to Director Qin directly. There are not so many rules. He dislikes them and thinks it's a waste of time. If you wait for him to finish eating before going, he has already started working, and you will disturb him instead."

Ma Debiao left, and Zhao Mingyu stood there thinking.

A boss with such a temper seems to be quite good for her.

……

"Director Qin, I investigated eight domestic special effects companies, and after comparing samples, I finally chose this one. Although they are the smallest in scale, their effects are the most in line with the manuscript you gave me."

Qin Muchu looked at the special effects of "Star You" played on the computer, all of which were very simple and small special effects.

The main ones are time pauses and objects floating.

Superpowers like teleportation can be replaced by clips.

"not bad."

After quickly watching the special effects scene, Qin Muchu took two mouthfuls of boxed lunch and made a comment.

"Star You" is an idol drama after all, not a sci-fi movie, and the special effects are not difficult, so it looks extraordinarily real.

Seeing that Qin Muchu was satisfied with the special effects, Zhao Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

After thinking about it, she looked at Qin Muchu who had almost finished her meal, hesitated for a while, and said:
"Director Qin, I have an idea in my heart to find a special effects company this time."

"Sit down and talk."

Qin Muchu pointed to the seat next to him.

Sitting on the seat, Zhao Mingyu took out a large stack of documents from the folder and handed them to Qin Muchu.

"This time I went to the special effects company and found that our country is still relatively backward in this area, almost blank.

I did investment work in the United States before, and I also know about special effects. Hollywood attaches great importance to special effects, and they are used in almost every blockbuster film, and this is also an important reason why their blockbuster films can be popular all over the world.

I believe that China's movie market in the future is huge, and it will surely reach or even surpass Hollywood and become the world's largest movie box office.

Foreign countries will not fail to see this, and they will inevitably increase the input of Chinese films. By then, the era of blockbuster films will come, and more and more special effects will be used in films.

If Tianchao can't produce its own special effects, it can only go to the United States to look at other people's eyes, which is tantamount to ceding the market to others. "

Qin Muchu looked at Zhao Mingyu, who made a generous statement and boldly predicted the future of Tianchao movies, with strange eyes.

"Do you know how to cleverly combine basketball and chicken?" he asked suddenly.

"what?"

Zhao Mingyu was stunned.

Seeing that Zhao Mingyu was puzzled, Qin Muchu said again:

"Who is Zhou Jianlun's wife?"

"What? Is Zhou Jiaolun married?"

Zhao Mingyu looked surprised.

She really likes Zhou Jiaolun's songs, she listened to them when she was in America, but she never heard that Zhou Jiaolun got married.

Is it a hidden marriage?
"No, I'm talking nonsense."

Qin Muchu responded casually.

It seems that Zhao Mingyu didn't come from time travel.

That is a genius, so accurately predicting the future state of the film industry.

Looking at Zhao Mingyu who looked at him with a strange expression on his face, Qin Muchu coughed lightly twice,

"You continue to talk about special effects."

Zhao Mingyu suppressed her doubts and looked at Qin Muchu with burning eyes:
"I think the company should cultivate its own special effects production department to prepare for the future blockbuster era.

In the future, our company's special effects will be used in both your films and films of other domestic companies, so as to withstand the impact of Hollywood blockbusters and compete with them for the box office! "

Qin Muchu lowered his head in thought.

For blockbuster special effects movies, he has relevant scripts in his hand, such as Marvel and "Transformers" series of movies, but he can't make these because they are all comic book adaptations, and he has no copyright.

Most of the movie scripts left to him by his predecessor are literary, similar to "The Gift of Room No. [-]", which can be watched many times.

Large pieces of popcorn are rare.

But Zhao Mingyu's words reminded him that the blockbuster era is coming soon.

In two years, there will be an epic production released, which will change the whole world's understanding of movies, and the era of blockbuster movies will begin.

It's The Smurfs...no, Avatar.

The 3D production technology and the fake special effects have all refreshed people's perception of movies.

It turns out that movies can be "false" like this, or "true" like this.

The world's first movie to break the box office of 20 billion US dollars, and has maintained the world's first box office record for more than ten years.

Since "Avatar", all kinds of special effects blockbusters are like wild horses, emerging one after another.

Hollywood's new-age blockbusters headed by Marvel have launched an impact on China.

The "Avengers" series alone has raked in more than [-] billion box office in China, and the profits from the movie peripherals are even more astronomical.

"Avengers IV" broke the record of "Avatar" with a global box office of 27.89 billion US dollars and topped the list with 27.88 billion US dollars.

As a director, Qin Muchu said that it was impossible not to make blockbuster films and touch Hollywood, but he didn't have a script, which made him lose the greatest confidence.

But even if he doesn't shoot, there will always be someone in Tianchao.

And as long as you make a big movie, special effects are essential.

He looked at Zhao Mingyu:

"My attitude is that I absolutely support it. If you come up with a detailed plan, you can find talents if you need them. If you don't have them in China, you can find them from abroad. You can spend as much as you want, but we must ensure that our people learn the technology."

Seeing Qin Muchu's support, Zhao Mingyu showed joy and stood up excitedly, but she hesitated:
"Director Qin, the training and establishment of the special effects department requires a lot of investment in the early stage, and there is basically no return in a short period of time..."

She thought about it, and based on her previous lowest estimate, said:
"At least ten million yuan must be invested in a year, and the results will be seen for five consecutive years."

After speaking, she looked at Qin Muchu worriedly, afraid that he would go back on his word.

Qin Muchu shook his head.

Zhao Mingyu looked disappointed.

It is indeed difficult to persuade people to do such a large investment with no return.

At this moment, Qin Muchu spoke.

"It's not a special effects department, it's a special effects company, which is independent from 'Chao Qin Mu Chu', the personnel are recruited by you, and you serve as the president.

In addition, the amount of investment is not more than 5000 million, but 5000 million, [-] million per year. If it can produce results within two years, the annual investment amount will increase. The final goal is to reach or even surpass the level of Hollywood.

If you can do it, the special effects company will give you three percent of the shares. "

Qin Muchu looked at the dumbfounded Zhao Mingyu:
"Can it be done?"

"can!"

Zhao Mingyu had an abnormal blush on her face due to being too excited.

She did not expect that the idea she put forward would receive such strong support from Qin Muchu.

"Okay, you can do it, but the company here should not relax its management."

Qin Muchu reminded.

If Zhao Mingyu devoted himself entirely to the special effects company, regardless of "Chao Qin Mu Chu", then he would not be able to be a shopkeeper and would have to recruit a new general manager.

This is unacceptable to Qin Muchu.

After all, Zhao Mingyu, the general manager, is still very competent. In the past ten days, he has never disturbed him because of company affairs, and the tasks assigned to her have also been completed very well.

And most importantly, she is long-term and accurate.

Zhao Mingyu walked to the door, turned around suddenly, and asked:
"Director Qin, is that why you trust me? Aren't you afraid that I'll enrich myself or run away with the money?"

"The suspect doesn't need it, the suspect doesn't need it." Qin Muchu smiled.

Zhao Mingyu didn't speak, looked at Qin Muchu, bowed deeply, and left the room.

After the door was closed, Qin Muchu looked at the direction Zhao Mingyu was leaving, and recalled the detailed file of Zhao Mingyu that Jiang Wen had given him.

The experience from childhood to adulthood, information about family members, achievements after work, and even the fact that she beat up her boss in the United States are clearly checked.

As for how to get such detailed information from Zhao Mingyu, Jiang Wen didn't say, and Qin Muchu didn't ask either.

"Don't use doubtful people, don't doubt employing people" is just an excuse.

Of course, you can't fully understand a person just by looking at the file.

However, the creation and maturity of a special effects company cannot be completed in a short period of time.

A few years is enough for Qin Muchu to judge whether Zhao Mingyu is trustworthy or not.

"Made."

Qin Muchu cursed suddenly.

"Why does it feel like a cold-blooded capitalist after becoming a boss?"

He rubbed his face, deeply awakened:
"No, you can only become a national entrepreneur, all the Chinese are national entrepreneurs..."

(Just mention it in this chapter to pave the way for the future, and I will mention it later, and will not focus on business wars and the like)
