This actor doesn't look like a good guy

Chapter 218 A New Idea for Dumplings
"It's a really nice drawing."

The two couldn't help admiring at the same time.

At this moment, Concubine Liu Yi saw Jiang Bai and thought that Jiang Bai was leaving soon, and she didn't know when the next meeting would be, so she also ran over to say hello.

After seeing the portrait in the hands of the two, he asked doubtfully.

"what is this?"

"It's a gift we exchanged."

"You actually secretly exchanged gifts, what about mine? Mr. Jiang, you probably didn't prepare them for me, did you?"

"Of course it's prepared for you, it's inside."

Liu Yifei took the bag from Su Rou and found that there was a painting scroll inside.

"Wow, did you draw me too?"

"Of course, I have prepared gifts for you all, but it's not easy to bring them all at once, so I only brought Brother Xu and you."

Concubine Liu Yi unfolded the scroll happily, only to see that it was her portrait of Zhao Ling'er in the TV series Immortal Sword.

"It's so beautiful, Jiang Bai, are you so good at drawing?"

"Of course, didn't you listen to the people outside? I don't know anything except having children. "

"So good? No wonder you are so good at the game, and you can still win the national championship." Liu Yifei praised Jiang Bai, but she couldn't bear to leave her portrait all the time.

After looking at it for a long time, she carefully rolled up the picture: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, I didn't prepare any presents for you this time, and I will make it up for you when I go back after filming!"

"Okay, then I'll wait, don't forget, or I'll be embarrassed when I ask you for it."

"Why am I embarrassed? Isn't it embarrassing for you to ask for a gift? Such a big star is so embarrassed to ask a little girl for a gift."

Jiang Bai smiled, and said indifferently: "It's okay, I'm shameless."

Liu Yifei didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Anyway, you can say whether to give it or not. If you don't give it to me, you can go directly to your school to ask for it."

"Hey, Mr. Jiang has given me such a big gift, how can I not return it to you, don't worry, I will definitely give you a great gift when the time comes."

Xu Jinjiang was used to the way of conversation between the two of them, so he just watched the two of them bickering gently with the smile of an elder.

"By the way, Sissy, all the gifts I prepared for others were moved to your room in the morning, and your mother was there at the time, so I entrusted her to keep them all, and you will help distribute them when the time comes." Everyone."

"Okay, leave this kind of thing to me!"

In the morning, Jiang Bai stayed here again, and told everyone what to pay attention to when filming later, and made a special trip to tell Wang Baoqiang to call anytime afterward if he has any questions.

If you're filming and don't have time to pick it up, just let it go, and call Su Rou directly if it's urgent.

"Brother Jiang, I know."

"Well, work hard. Speaking of which, this is your first independent directing. Anyway, everyone is good. If there is anything you don't understand, besides calling me and asking, you can also ask other actors or directors for advice. .”

"Brother Jiang, don't worry."

Jiang Bai then left.

The things he had with him were still in the hotel.

In addition, there are some tea sets that need to be packaged and mailed back.

After everything was packed, Jiang Bai took his luggage and went downstairs, and got into the car arranged for him by the crew.

There is no airport here. Although there is a train station, it takes only three hours to drive from Suiyun to Hangzhou.

It's just that after arriving in Hangzhou, it happened to be noon, so Jiang Bai took the driver to have a meal together.

After all, you can't let people make a trip in vain.

After eating, the driver sent the two of them to the airport, and then went back.

Jiang and Bai entered the airport and began to wait.

While waiting here, Jiang Bai wondered how much money the crazy racing could make him,
Crazy Racer just dropped from theaters the other day.

The final box office statistics totaled more than 2000 million.

After deducting taxes, development funds, and money for distribution and theaters, there is still more than 4160 million left.

In addition, the company injected 40% of the capital, and Jiang Bai injected 60%.

Calculated in this way, Jiang Bai can get about 2490 million yuan, and the remaining 1600 million yuan is considered as the company's money.

But Jiang Bai and Zhao Zhe have already discussed this money.

Ning Hao, as the biggest contributor, naturally wants to get a bonus.

Jiang Bai put a fraction of the money he earned, which is more than 90 yuan, into the company, and then the company also took out 60 yuan.

A total of 150 million.

Among them, Ning Hao directly took 100 million as a bonus.

The remaining 50 will be shared by those screenwriters, assistant directors, etc. according to the degree of credit.

However, Zhao Zhe and Jiang Bai agreed to take five thousand for themselves, and then distribute the rest to others.

This money is mainly for those behind the scenes.

Since their film is not a big production, the post-production team will add up to more than 40 people, and on average, each person can get about [-] yuan.

Of course, there will definitely be more leaders. Anyway, even if there are fewer, there are more than 5000.

Of course, the money will have to wait until it arrives.

It was already afternoon after returning to Yanjing, so naturally there was no need to join the group, so Jiang Bai went back to the company to have a look, and called everyone for a meeting.

On the one hand, it is to encourage everyone, it has been hard work during this period, and on the other hand, it talks about the company's future plans.

The success of two consecutive films has given them a sweet taste, and they plan to continue making films next, and they are currently planning a total of two films.

One is the martial arts story that Jiang Bai told at the beginning, and the other is the one that Jiang Wen is preparing, but the filming of these two films will have to wait until the middle of the next year.

During Jiang Bai's filming period, Dong Xuan was not idle either. Apart from a brief guest appearance in the crazy racing car, Zhao Zhe also found two TV dramas for her to film.

The scripts of these two dramas are still good. One of them is a romantic drama of the Republic of China starring Ma Jingtao, and the other one won the jury award at the Hawaii International Film Festival and was selected as one of the world’s 21 young leaders in the 56st century and the first in Germany. The urban suspense mystery drama "Black Eyes" filmed by director Zhang Yuan, who won the Best Director Award at the [-]th Venice International Film Festival.

Although the filming of these two films has now been finished, Zhao Zhe still took over two more films for her. One is the "Song of the Song Dynasty", which started filming at the beginning of the year. The ancient costume martial arts drama, this drama is led by CCTV.

So in the first half of next year, Dong Xuan will have to keep filming outside.

And Huang Bo has also received a new play, which is based on migrant workers, and the director is in charge.

This old friend of Huang Bo will naturally think of Huang Bo when he has a new play.

Zhang Songwen also received an invitation from Southern TV Station to go to Guangdong to set up a crash course in acting for "The Mysterious Son-in-Law" they are planning to film.

After that, he will also star in the male number one role.

So when the filming of this TV series is finished, it will be the middle of [-] anyway.

As for the other screenwriter they recruited, he is still creating. Anyway, the company has no requirements for him. After all, the other party is only used as a talent reserve, and the basic salary of more than 1000 yuan is paid every month, and the other party is not limited to doing private work outside to earn money. extra money.

As far as the present is concerned, if most screenwriters only rely on the contracted company to make a living, they will starve to death in a short time, and this is still a screenwriter signed by the company, like those freelance screenwriters who have to do private work to make money.

Or he would be a shooter for others, and the work he received might be subcontracted by others layer by layer. Of course, if he didn't want to write it himself, he could subcontract it again and get some money out of it.

Either go to help others and earn some hard money. If it doesn't work, you can write some articles or novels, and vote for newspapers or magazines. If you can pass it, it will be a good income.

Zhao Zhe started as a screenwriter, so he naturally knows the unspoken rules of this industry. As long as there are tasks assigned by the company that do not affect the progress of the company's projects, and do not affect the company's reputation outside, then he basically just turns a blind eye. one eye.

As for Xiao Yang, it has become another point of stable profit for the company besides those actors.

But at the same time, Zhao Zhe is also looking for a suitable project for the other party, let him go out to practice, otherwise, there are still many differences between the shooting of commercials and movies and TV series.

A director of a film or TV series can make good commercials, but a director of commercials may not be able to make a good film or TV series.

And short and long stories are also different.

However, it is worth mentioning that Jiaozi, Dumiao, the only animation director in the company, has finally completed the animation short film he created.

Because Jiang Bai and Zhao Zhe agreed that the animation track is actually very marketable. If it can be done well, it can be made into a form like neon.

Therefore, in order to make the work of Jiaozi go smoothly, Zhao Zhe specially recruited several people to help Jiaozi.

"Brother Jiang, Brother Zhao, now our animation is finished, but what should we do next?"

At the meeting, Jiaozi asked a little troubled.

Animation is his dream and also his hobby. For this short film, he spent a full year from the preparation to the finished product.

But after making it now, he was a little confused.

Because what he is doing is not an animated series or an animated film, he has been thinking about the benefits this short animated film can bring to the company every day these days.

But after much deliberation, he couldn't think of any profitable point.

After Jiang Bai heard this, he thought for a while: "This is an animated short film, right? What is the approximate duration?"

"Ten seven minutes."

"Ten and six minutes is definitely not going to be screened, because the time is too short, but as far as I know, there are still many awards in this field at home and abroad. Go back and sort out the animation awards at home and abroad. , and then take this short film of yours to vote, submit all the entries that can be submitted, and don’t miss any award units as long as they can be selected.”

"If we don't get the rating, we won't say anything. If we can get the rating, it's equivalent to getting famous."

After Jiang Bai finished speaking, he asked again: "But compared to this short film, I'm still more curious about your next thoughts and arrangements?"

After hearing this, Jiaozi also became interested: "Brother Jiang, I want to make another short film next time. I have already thought about the subject matter, and I will use a film and television culture company as the prototype, which is actually our company.

The employees inside are the colleagues around me. They are a group of extremely enthusiastic, slightly obscene, but still have a sense of justice in the workplace. However, in terms of the role of the boss, I plan to make it a little bit empty, and set up an upstart taste The satyr boss, besides, there is a busty beauty who applies for the secretary... The following story revolves around the wits and courage between them and the satyr boss. "

Jiang Bai couldn't help sighing when he heard this.

This subject...

On the surface it looks okay.

It's comedic, and the story of witty employees battling wits with a bad boss can also appeal to viewers.

But the problem is that it's still a short film.

The short film that Jiaozixin talked about is different from the previous one. The previous one was anti-war theme, and even the short film has a deep meaning.

But this office fight is too petty.

"What's the matter, Brother Jiang, is this not very good?"

Jiang Bai shook his head: "The story is fine, and the subject matter is fine, but I suggest that you don't make it into an animated short film. If what you told me just now is a very big idea but reduced to two people or such a small group of people I support you in making short films, but if your theme is made into a short film, the meaning will be much different. If it is possible, I think it will be better to make it into a unit drama.

There are many stories in the office, and at least thirty or forty episodes can be produced.

Or it can be made season by season. Each season has a big main line, which is told through a dozen or more than 20 episodes, and then leads to new stories.

After that, we can look at the market response and your wishes, and consider whether to continue. "

Dumpling thought for a while after hearing this.

"Brother Jiang, I think the method you mentioned is feasible."

"Well, since you think it's okay, you can discuss it yourself when you go back. If you decide to do it, you can find Mr. Zhao."

Then Jiang Bai pushed the matter to Zhao Zhe.

In fact, doing animation is similar to making movies, but the place where the money is spent is different, but it also needs to be invested.

If Jiaozi really thought it through, they would naturally list the plan and the script at that time, and I only needed to take a look at it after Zhao Zhe finished reviewing it.

After talking about the things between them in the conference room, Jiang Bai looked at Ning Hao.

"Director Ning, what about you? Are you going to settle down during this time?"

"Well, I want to settle down. Although I have thought of a new story, I don't want to make it the same as the first two, so I plan to study hard during this time."
