my movie years

Chapter 33 Forming a Team (Please recommend, please collect ~)

"Seeing you make a movie and earn more money than my company's total market value, I can't help but want to invest in the movie industry, but my reason tells me that the movie industry is very risky."

Having dinner at home, Zhang Yu said to Zhang Hao like this.

Zhang Hao shrugged and said, "Entering the industry is risky, and investment needs to be cautious. In fact, many film and television companies started as advertising companies. Mom, you might as well try to transform."

Zhang Yu refused: "Forget it, I'm still good at the advertising business, but I don't know anything about movies."

At this time, Zhang Hao's mobile phone sent a text message, which was a transfer information from the bank.Zhang Hao stared blankly, and asked Zhang Yu: "Mom, have you transferred the money to me yet?"

After finishing dinner, Zhang Yu wiped his mouth with a paper towel, and replied after hearing the words: "Yes, after repaying the loan, I discussed with your grandfather and transferred the money to you."

"No need, I'm not short of money." Zhang Hao was moved.

"It's all earned by you. My son is now a great director, and I look proud." Zhang Yu's eyes were full of pride, and he continued: "Your new studio has just been established and you don't have much money. Good to help you run the studio."

Thousands of words, Zhang Hao only merged into two words: "Thank you..."

"You're welcome..." Zhang Yu will always be the mother who supports her son's dream and Zhang Hao's strong backing.

This is not a small amount, it is a sum of more than 1000 million funds, and it just entered the account of Haotian Studio.

However, there are currently only two employees in Haotian Studio, the assistant Tang Xiqian, and a middle-aged woman in her 40s who answers the phone and cleans up the bathroom.

But Zhang Hao also clarified the recruitment information and began to absorb suitable talents to join the studio.

A mature director must be supported by a well-coordinated and mature team.Like on the set of "Manslaughter", Zhang Hao needed to use his work to adjust the crew, and was challenged from time to time. Zhang Hao didn't want to do this kind of thing again.

Therefore, Zhang Hao needs to build a team of his own to cooperate with his work.

In addition, Zhang Hao also needs an agent or broker to handle some business related to film contracts and studios for him.But this is not in a hurry, let's recruit our team members first.

Last time I talked with Lu Jianqiu, the photographer of "Manslaughter", at that time Lu Jianqiu did not agree, because the future of the film was uncertain because it was not released.

But this time Zhang Hao invited again, Lu Jianqiu agreed without hesitation, and signed a contract with Haotian Studio.

Xu Qing recommended a middle-aged woman named Su Tong as an art director.Zhang Hao asked her to make conceptual drawings of artistic designs in different styles, including ancient, modern, magical and other styles.

The most important thing is to see how Su Tong's future science fiction style is.

Surprisingly, Su Tong is actually a sci-fi fan, and he has designed many sci-fi scenes.But domestic sci-fi films, everyone understands, she has no use for her skills.

But Zhang Hao was very satisfied, so he signed a contract with Su Tong and officially became a member of his team.

There are about 24 positions in a crew, and the core is the director.

Others are actors, photography, art, music, recording, editing, assistant director, scene record, make-up, costumes, props, setting, lighting, production director, producer, drama, field affairs, accounting, cashier, special effects photography, Special effects art, special effects pyrotechnics, special effects crafts, etc.

According to the size of the crew, there will be more or less, except that actors are not counted as team members, Zhang Hao has to recruit as many people as above.

As an art director, Su Tong is responsible for art costumes, props, scenery and makeup, and Zhang Hao entrusts her with the task of recruiting these professionals.Of course, Zhang Hao still has an interview at the end.

Lu Jianqiu is responsible for recruiting talents in photography, lighting and other aspects.For the rest, Zhang Hao dug people everywhere, and recruited a lot of talents from the Third Master of China Film Group.

There is also an important position, assistant director. Zhang Hao still remembers what happened to Cui Lihui last time. Zhang Hao doesn't want another director who challenges his authority.

But at the beginning it was because I was too young and had too little qualifications, so it was normal to be looked down upon.But now that there is a successful movie as the base, no one dares to underestimate him.

And according to what Lu Jianqiu said, Cui Lihui has changed careers, and his work on the crew of "Manslaughter" has spread.No one would use such an assistant director, Cui Lihui could only change careers sadly, and it is said that he went to shoot commercials.

"Boss, this is the list of assistant director candidates who have submitted their resumes in the past few days. I have preliminarily screened them, and you can take a look again." Tang Xiqian put a stack of documents on Zhang Hao's desk.

"Well, I see." Zhang Hao nodded.

Just as Tang Qianqian was about to go out, Zhang Hao stopped her: "Wait a minute, have you heard of Liu Cixin?"

Tang Xiqian thought about it for a while, and then replied: "It seems to be a writer of science fiction, what's wrong, boss?"

"I want you to get in touch with him. I want to win the film and television adaptation rights of several science fiction novels in his hand." Zhang Hao said.

Tang Qianqian looked surprised: "Boss, are you going to make a sci-fi movie?"

"What are you thinking about? It's not the time yet, just get ready and focus on novels such as "The Wandering Earth", "Country Teacher" and "Ball Lightning", er... and "Three-Body Problem"."

Although he was time-traveled because he made a bad movie "Three-Body Problem", Zhang Hao still didn't want to give up this classic science fiction work.

Now Liu is not as famous as he was later, and the film and television adaptation rights of these works should not have much money.

In the previous life, the film and television adaptation rights of "The Three-Body Problem" were only sold for 20 yuan. When Liu went to visit the crew of "The Wandering Earth", he bought a box lunch and spent [-] yuan.

It should be cheaper now, just taking advantage of the money in hand, get the copyright in one go, and take it slowly later.

After Tang Qianqian went out, Zhang Hao looked at the resumes delivered on the table, flipping through them one by one, and suddenly saw a familiar name.

"Guo Daji? He came to submit his resume and be my assistant director?" Zhang Hao was still a little surprised.

The No. 1 Chinese-language sci-fi movie in the future is just an unknown person, and he submitted his resume to be his assistant director.

Looking at the resume again, I graduated from the law department with a bachelor's degree, and then worked in a satellite TV travel station.

In my impression, Guo Fan will also be admitted to the management department of Nortel this year, so he has a relationship with the movie. In 2011, he also directed his first movie.But why would Guo Fan think of coming to interview his assistant director now?
The most outrageous thing is that Tang Xiqian actually ranked Guo Fan first in his resume, which is obviously better than Guo Fan's experience, and he recommends it.

How did Zhang Hao know that this was actually related to him.

Tang Xiqian has seen too many ugly faces of these so-called experienced assistant directors in the crew, so when she was selecting, she put obedience and responsibility first, so Guo Fan, who had no working experience, entered the final candidate list in a daze. up.

Guo Fan didn't expect that he was just trying his luck. He heard that the new director Zhang Hao was looking for an assistant, so he submitted a resume.What Guo Fan thought in his heart was, what if he was lucky enough to be selected?

To be reasonable, if Zhang Hao didn't know Guo Fan's future achievements, Guo Fan would have been dismissed.Not only that, but Tang Qianqian had to be scolded.

But now, Zhang Hao decided to give Guo Fan a chance...
