Chapter 9 Project Preparatory Meeting (please recommend, please collect ~)

After leaving the China Film Building, Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, the investment was settled.Although there is still a gap of 500 million yuan, after the news of China Film Investment's investment spreads, film and television companies will come to the door soon.

Sure enough, just after eating a hamburger at KFC, there was a call from Bona Pictures.

"Hi, hello, this is Bona Pictures' Secretary Yu's office, please don't hang up, President Yu will call you personally."

"it is good……"

After about 30 seconds, Yu Dong's voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Hello, is this Zhang Hao? I'm Yu Dong."

"Hello Mr. Yu, I'm Zhang Hao." Zhang Hao replied quickly.

"Haha, I read your script, it's very good, and I even called your grandfather. I heard that you got investment from the third master, right?" Yu Dong didn't hesitate, and went straight to the point.

Zhang Hao smiled and said: "Yes, Uncle Han is very supportive of me and voted for me 1000 million."

"Huh! 1000 million is not a small amount, but the third master is very generous." Yu Dong took a breath, and if it was him, he would not be so bold.

When the third master was working as a sub-factory in the Beijing Film Studio, Yu Dong worked under the third master. Later, one of the two went to China Film, and the other joined Bona, and both became important figures in the mainland film industry.

Zhang Hao said with a smile: "Actually, 1000 million is not enough, I'm still 500 million short, and I have to continue to attract investment!"

"Is 1000 million not enough? Your kid has a big appetite. In this case, don't look for others. Come to me. I will vote for the 500 million." Yu Dong said directly.

Yu Dong didn't trust the fledgling, 22-year-old Zhang Hao, but believed in the vision of his old boss.

Although Zhang Hao's background is a factor, as the helm of China Film Group, San Ye must be very rational when investing. Background and connections cannot affect San Ye's judgment.

Coming to Bona Pictures again, this time Zhang Hao is not in the state of begging his grandpa to sue his grandma.

Seeing the beautiful front desk lady in a wrap-around skirt again, Zhang Hao said directly, "Mr. Yu has an appointment with me."

The front desk lady in the hip skirt obviously still had an impression of Zhang Hao, a handsome young man, and was surprised by how tough Zhang Hao spoke this time, but her good professionalism still made her suppress her surprised expression.

Mr. Yu's secretary had notified him just now, and Zhang Hao came and notified her directly, so the front desk lady in the wrap-butt skirt had a professional smile with a bit of kindness. Not everyone can see Mr. Yu, especially such a young person.

"Please wait a moment. I'll call Mr. Yu's secretary desk, and she will come down to pick you up right away."

"Thank you..." Zhang Hao nodded slightly, and continued, "How long have you been working in Bona Pictures?"

"Ah?" The front desk lady in the wrap-butt skirt didn't expect Zhang Hao to ask a question suddenly, so she responded after she realized: "I've been here for a year..."

"Have you been working as the front desk for a year?" Zhang Hao asked.

"Yes..." Facing the handsome guy, the front desk lady in the wrap-butt skirt was willing to chat a little more, and he was someone Yu always wanted to meet, so she wasn't leaving her post without authorization.

Zhang Hao then asked, "Have you thought about changing jobs?"

"what?"
"How about changing a job and being my assistant?" Zhang Hao blinked.

"This..." The front desk lady in the hip skirt was hesitating, how could she refuse so as not to hurt the handsome guy's heart.

Just at this time, President Yu's secretary came down and resolved the difficulty of the front desk lady in the hip skirt.

"Mr. Zhang Hao, right? Please follow me, Mr. Yu is already waiting for you." Secretary Yu led Zhang Hao politely, and did not despise Zhang Hao because of his youth.

Working in a big company, the plot of a novel like a dog who sees people as inferior, and then is pretended to be slapped in the face by the protagonist basically does not happen.No matter whether you despise it in your heart or not, you will have the respect you should have on the surface. This is the principle of life and the law of the workplace.

What's more, Zhang Hao is the person Yu Dong wants to meet, so it must be not easy.

"Wait a minute," Zhang Hao turned his head and asked the front desk lady in the wrap-butt skirt: "What's your name?"

"Tang Xixi, my name is Tang Qianxi." The front desk lady in the wrap-butt skirt hesitated to say her name.

"Tang Qianqian, this name is so familiar. OK, I remember you. If you want to change jobs, remember to contact me." Zhang Hao smiled slightly and followed Yu Dong's secretary up.

After Zhang Hao went up, another front desk lady teased Tang Xiqian: "Hey, do you think this handsome guy has a crush on you and wants to pursue you?"

"Shh, don't talk nonsense, he is so handsome, and he looks like a child of a rich family, how could he fall in love with me!" Tang Qianqian said this, but she was actually a little secretly happy.

At the same time, she also secretly wrote down Zhang Hao's contact information, which is in the visitor list.In case one day I have to change jobs in the future, this might be an opportunity.

Yu Dong's office is larger and more luxurious than San Ye's, which may be the reason why San Ye prefers simplicity.

Zhang Hao, who was once a high-level executive of the film company who had been elusive in the past, met with two in a row today, and at this time he was calm and talked with Yu Dong very calmly.

"I want to ask you, in terms of casting, what kind of actor do you want to choose?"

Zhang Hao replied: "I stick to one principle, only choose the right one, not the expensive one."

"Even if the other party is an A-list star?"

"Even if the opponent is a first-line star."

Yu Dong nodded with a smile: "That's fine, otherwise, the 500 million yuan may not be enough for his salary."

These days, Hong Kong island movie stars are the mainstream, and mainland movie stars used to play supporting roles for others, such as Chen Kun and Huang Xiaoming, they were all supporting roles.

But the situation will change in the future. The rise of Xu Dabald, Bao Qiang, Huang Bo, Shen Teng, and even Wu Jing will become the backbone of mainland movie stars.

Of course, what cannot be ignored is that the returnee four idols have also rushed into the film market to make money, although most of them are on the street, so that the capital later invented the capital operation formula.

The meeting with Yu Dong went smoothly. After talking about the script and some specific details, Yu Dong immediately made a decision and invested 500 million, becoming the second largest investor in "Manslaughter".

A few days later, the preparatory meeting for the "Manslaughter" project was held in China Film Group. Zhang Hao, Yu Dong and San Ye only showed up at the beginning, gave Zhang Hao a platform and left.

Only Huang Jianxin, the producer of China Film Group, and Liu Hao, the producer of Bona Films, were left to discuss with Zhang Hao about the preparation of the crew.Huang Jianxin is just a producer, and doesn't care about anything. It is Liu Hao who really cooperates with Zhang Hao in building the crew.

It is worth mentioning that, after hearing from the secretary that Zhang Hao was interested in the front desk lady with the hip skirt, Yu Dong directly made a favor to help the front desk lady with the hip skirt complete job hopping and became Zhang Hao's assistant.

Tang Xiqian sat next to Zhang Hao with a notebook, never expecting that she would be quit like this.Seeing Zhang Hao chatting with the company's producer Liu Hao, Tang Qianqian could only comfort herself, at least Zhang Hao is handsome, and looking at handsome guys is also a pleasing job.

"The filming location is in Thailand. I hope to communicate with the local area in advance to avoid unnecessary trouble." Zhang Hao and Liu Hao discussed the film preparations.

"Will there be any trouble with the formalities when going abroad for filming?" Liu Hao was suspicious.

"No, many movies have been filmed in Thailand, and the policies there are very supportive. There may be some employment problems, but it's not a problem." Zhang Hao was fully prepared, and naturally took this little problem into consideration.

"OK," Liu Hao recorded in his work log that 500 million yuan was already in his hands, and he would go to Thailand to communicate in two days.

"In terms of casting, I hope that the male lead will find a middle-aged actor with mature acting skills. For the female lead, I need an actor with good acting skills and good looks. For others, let's see the audition situation." Zhang Hao said his choice angle idea.

In fact, the audition method is not very popular in the Chinese-language film industry. The roles in the Chinese-language film industry are generally decided by the director who has a project and a favorite candidate. He discusses with the investor and communicates with the favorite candidate. .

Only leftover roles will be released to audition to select suitable candidates.

Therefore, there are often announcements that the protagonist of a certain film and television project will audition. In fact, the role is pre-determined long before the audition. Most people don't know these inside stories and think that there is an audition.

"Then do you have a suitable candidate?" Liu Hao asked.

"Guo Tao, I think it's good. Yu Feihong is also suitable for the role of the heroine. You can ask their manager if there is any schedule." Zhang Hao proposed the candidate.

"OK, I'll contact their agent." Liu Hao wrote it down in his work log again.

After discussing other aspects of work one after another, this project preparatory meeting is over.Speaking of a meeting, it was basically Zhang Hao and Liu Hao discussing. Huang Jianxin was a clay figure and did not speak during the whole process. Tang Xiqian was an assistant and it was not her turn to speak.

Even if the "Manslaughter" project has been approved, there are no flowers, no applause, and no media reports. The entire crew, including Huang Jianxin, who is not doing anything, only has four people, and they still need to call people.

But to Zhang Hao's surprise, his director authority is not generally large, and it is not like the treatment that novice directors can get.

Moreover, his proposal to fold the director's remuneration into the investment actually passed, and it was written on his director's contract.

With an investment of 500 million yuan, his salary is only 15 yuan, accounting for [-]% of the investment.

The remuneration has been included in the investment quota, and Tang Xiqian's salary seems to be in arrears.However, Zhang Hao learned from Tang Qianqian that her personnel relationship is still with Bona Pictures, so she still has a salary.

It seems that Yu Dong is also a good person, if Zhang Hao's first project hits the street, wouldn't this be a scam for the little girl!
