Chapter 591 Blueprint for 2031 (-in-)

In December 2030, Yang Yi, who had been "wandering" in Hollywood for more than half a year, finally returned to China.

The past six months have been very difficult. Although Li Mengfei would take Xiao Yu Ni to the United States to accompany him every now and then, it was a foreign country after all, and we were far away across the ocean, and the feeling of missing her was tormenting him all the time!
But there was no other way, so he arranged for the filming of three "Death is Coming" and one "The Truman Show". I've come here and invested so much money, so I can only insist on finishing the filming.

Horror movies are relatively simple and rough, but it is not easy to make a movie like "The Truman Show"!

A large number of supporting roles and extras need to be moved frequently under the camera. Even if Yang Yi is "experienced", it is difficult to avoid mistakes. NG is commonplace, and it takes a lot of time and energy to capture every detail.

It’s actually not easy to play Truman well! Yang Yi spent an S-level actor experience card to experience the acting skills of top comedian Jim Carrey, but just replicating Jim Carrey's performance will definitely not work, because in the revised script, the protagonist is an adopted person Chinese children.

Therefore, Yang Yi had to constantly make adjustments during the filming process. He learned a lot about comedy acting methods from Jim Carrey and Stephen Chow, two comedy masters with exaggerated movements and expressions.

"The process was quite bumpy, but the rewards are still quite great." Yang Yi lamented to his wife after returning to China.

Li Mengfei plays the role of The Truman Girl in this film - Yang Yi is set to be Zhen Ni, a Chinese international student who once had a role on the set.

Although this role is relatively important, she gave Truman the courage and direction to leave Taoyuan Island, but there were not many scenes in the actual filming process. This is why Li Mengfei can return to China to take care of her daughter after filming, and can also travel frequently between Beijing and Los Angeles.

This is really not a boast. There is no film and television company in China that can generate revenue of several billions and net profits of several billions every year!

"Our performance at Mumu Film and Television this year is also very good! The box office of "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun" reached 7.2 billion, of which the total domestic box office was 5.1 billion, and overseas we also received a total of 2.8 billion More than 100 million US dollars in box office”

The TV series produced by Mumu Film and Television have long since made money by not just selling broadcast rights. Except for CCTV, which is more difficult to get, other TV stations have reached advertising sharing agreements with Mumu Film and Television, and there is no need to bet on ratings.

Not to mention money, Mumu Film and Television’s other benefits are enough to make other colleagues envious and jealous.

Originally, Yang Yi wanted Li Mengfei to play Truman's actress wife. This role would be more exciting and the contrast would be stronger, but Li Mengfei wanted to be Truman's Bai Yueguang, the girl that Truman, played by Yang Yi, really loved.

"Brother Yi asked me to speak, so I will make a simple summary first, and then let Brother Yi speak to us." Le Zehan took the microphone and spoke eloquently.

If Yang Yi had no plan to go public, Mumu Film and Television would definitely be the film and television company with the highest value in the A-share market - some financial media have already estimated the market value of Mumu Film and Television at 60 billion.

Yang Yi listened below and nodded frequently.

After returning to China, Yang Yi rested at home for two weeks, ignoring what was going on outside the window and only spending time with his wife and children.

High revenue means high profits, and it also means high year-end dividends!
Everyone at Mumu Film and Television looked happy. The company’s year-end bonuses and dividends last year were very impressive. Will they be able to have a good year this year as well?
"Of course, the achievements are not only achieved by film projects. Our company's TV series projects this year are also all-round hits. "In the Name of the People" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" have become the hit dramas of the year, and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has become even more popular. It broke CCTV’s long-standing ratings record.”

Of course Yang Yi respected his wife's choice and modified the script according to the adjusted role.

He knows all this. The overseas box office of "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun" is very good, and because the overseas box office is very popular, it has also been affected by the news of "Dead Man" and "Saw 4". It was originally a domestic box office film. It has been released for nearly two months, and the box office has also increased slightly despite falling to nothing.

At almost the end of the month, Mumu Film and Television held its annual summary meeting, and Yang Yicai went out to work.

It can be said that even if Mumu Film and Television does not have those movies, it can still rank among the top film and television drama production companies in the country by relying solely on the money it makes from TV series.

No, after Le Zehan finished summarizing the results, Yang Yi, who had already divided the work, announced this year's year-end bonus and dividend plan for Mumu Film and Television, as well as arrangements for travel and vacation next year.

After all, there are not many companies that can make a hit movie!
Of course, counting the money earned from movies, Mumu Film and Television is already an aircraft carrier among domestic film and television drama production companies.

Such as this "travel vacation" benefit!
Mumu Film and Television's "travel vacation" benefit started three years ago. It was originally to support tourism activities in Yang Yi's hometown of Black Province. The company provides all employees with travel benefits for up to a week. The employees traveled to the Black Province in batches, and the company paid all the expenses of the tour group.

Yang Yi doesn't want to go public. If he makes money, he will keep it to invest in his own movies and TV series, earn compound interest, and provide benefits to shareholders and employees.

Le Zehan first suppressed and then advanced, and told an exciting situation.

And in addition to TV stations, Yueshi’s advertising share and membership recharge share are even more impressive!
Not to mention, these TV series will also be launched on overseas platforms, and there will be huge amounts of income from copyright fees!

"Everyone knows that the box office of "Once Upon a Time: Top Gun" is definitely not comparable to last year's "The Wandering Earth". However, our company's revenue this year is even higher than last year! Because Yi Ge's other two movies have exploded Part of the income from the movies "Death is Coming" and "Saw 4" will also go to our side."

Later, because of the good response and the ability to give back to the society, the company's senior management held a meeting to discuss and decided to retain this "travel vacation" tradition and arrange it for employees every year. Moreover, these "paid travels" are independent of the company's "paid annual leave" and do not occupy employees' annual leave days.

After three years of exploration, Mumu Film and Television’s “travel vacation” system has been completely improved.

The first is time.

In the past, all employees had one week of paid travel time, but now it is basically one week. Old employees who have worked at Mumu Film and Television for five years can also enjoy an extra week, which is a total of half a month of paid travel time. Travel time!

Then there is the travel destination.

Previously, paid tours were arranged in Black Province because the original intention of doing this was to support the tourism economy of Black Province. But after "travel leave" forms a welfare system, it will be impossible to require employees to go to the black province every year.

Therefore, the improved system is based on the company's financial status. The company will give a certain travel budget every year, and then the labor union will talk to reliable travel companies and draw up several plans for employees to vote on.

The finalized travel plan must be domestic. Firstly, it is domestic security, and secondly, the wealth does not go to outsiders! For example, in April last year, the employees of Mumu Film and Television chose to go to Xishuangbanna to join in the excitement of the Water Splashing Festival, and in September this year, they went to Kanas to see the autumn scenery.

Yang Yi didn't help them decide where to go next year. He just told them the budget for next year's travel vacation. If you have enough budget, let alone Kanas, you can go to the plateau to see the Potala Palace!

After the employees left the conference room and went back to work in a happy mood and high spirits, Yang Yi stayed with the company's senior executives such as Le Zehan and Liao Chunsheng to continue the meeting.

What they want to talk about is not just a summary, but how Mumu Film and Television will proceed in the new year. This meeting will give a basic blueprint!
"In addition to our relatively good results in ratings, box office, and revenue this year, the works we delivered this year have also been recognized by fans and netizens." Le Zehan looked at Yang Yi and said.

The recognition he is talking about is not the audience rating of the rating website.

There is no point in talking about ratings, as few of their Mumu Films’ works have scores lower than eight.

"In the past, we either shot more movies or TV series, or the number of works was relatively small, which made everyone unhappy. But this year is different. This year does not count the two movies you released overseas. As for horror movies, we have one movie and two TV series in China. Everyone’s comments on our microblog or short video platform are very satisfied.”

Le Zehan paused, and then continued his summary: "So, I think our two-pronged strategy of movies and TV series must be implemented. And now that Brother Liao and Brother Jin can take charge of their own affairs, I think our company can With at least one movie or TV series a year, it shouldn’t be a big problem, right?”

Even if Yang Yi's time is allocated to four Hollywood movies this year, they will have at least one movie and one TV series released in China next year - "Once Upon a Time in China Part 2: Men Should Be Strong" and "Thirty Only" .

"Well, we'll keep filming like this next year. Lao Jin, have you read my script? What do you think? Can you film it?"

Yang Yi has not been idle at home these two weeks. He wrote a TV series script for Jin Longbo.

Jin Longbo did not film a TV series this year and went to the United States to film a movie with him.

There was no way, the student assistant directors Yang Yi brought were all there to observe and learn from experience, and the only one who could really work was Jin Longbo.

Now that they are back, Yang Yi of course lets Jin Longbo continue to lead the team to make TV series. Jin Longbo himself also wants to make TV series. He is more interested in modern dramas and period dramas based on reality.

"It can be filmed. Brother Yi, you wrote this script so well! Others make TV series with the main theme, and it will be awkward no matter how you watch it. What Brother Yi wrote is just how exciting it is to watch! The emotional scenes in it are just a bit sadistic. The more sadistic the more fun it will be! "Jin Longbo praised.

He has been gearing up for the past few days and can’t wait to film this TV series with the main theme!

"I also think you are more comfortable filming this type of TV series, so I decided to leave it to you. Feifei and I will not act in this drama. Just filming "The Wandering Earth 2" next year will probably cost a lot of money. You have the time and energy to choose the roles yourself, is that okay?" Yang Yi said with a smile.

Both Jin Longbo and Shen Qiushuang can reassure Yang Yi that "In the Name of the People" and "Thirty Only", which is about to be released, are already high-scoring answers from them in Yang Yi's opinion!
"No problem!" Jin Longbo was full of confidence.

He has already made friends with a large number of national first-class actors during the filming of "In the Name of the People", and these people also have very broad connections. Jin Longbo is not worried at all about finding suitable good actors to star in the new drama.

"Then our shooting plan for next year already includes at least one TV series and one movie." Yang Yi and Le Zehan laughed.

"Hey, Brother Yi, what about me? I don't have a plan yet!" Liao Chunsheng watched helplessly from the side. When he saw that Yang Yi didn't mention him, he suddenly became anxious.

"What plan do you want? Xiao Shen's pregnancy is so strong that she can't take good care of her at home? I'll give you a year's leave." Yang Yi said with a smile.

Yes, Yang Yi and Le Zehan just said so much and didn't mention Shen Qiu Shuang. It's not because she is unimportant.

Shen Qiushuang is of course an important member of the company, and he is also the director Yang Yi needs who can lead his own team.

But she's pregnant!

After filming "Thirty Only", either because her wish came true or because she was influenced by Zhong Xiaoqin's experience in the script, Shen Qiushuang finally changed his mind and decided to have a child.

The god of luck also favored her. After working hard with Liao Chunsheng for a month or two, Shen Qiushuang became pregnant.

But not long after she was happy, Shen Qiushuang began to suffer, and it was the kind of suffering that was very severe due to pregnancy!

After Yang Yi returned to China, he and Li Mengfei invited friends to visit them at home. Shen Qiushuang and Liao Chunsheng arrived late, but as soon as they came in, they smelled a fishy smell in the dining room, so she ran to the bathroom and vomited. As a result, within a few minutes of arriving, Liao Chunsheng could only accompany her back.

Yang Yi was considerate of them and had no plans to arrange a job for Liao Chunsheng next year.

"Actually, she's feeling a little better this week. She still vomits, but she's not so sensitive and doesn't vomit as much anymore." Liao Chunsheng said with a wry smile, "And now she doesn't want to rest. She thinks that others can go to and from get off work normally even if they are pregnant. She also wants to continue working."

In fact, Shen Qiushuang thought more about it after becoming pregnant.

In the past, she was worried that getting married and having children would affect her career, but now that she was affected by progesterone, her uneasiness was rising again.

This is understandable. It is said that pregnancy makes you stupid for three years. Progesterone will make your brain dull and you will not think about things so carefully. Even if she knew that Yang Yi was not such an unkind and unjust boss, she would feel inexplicably sad and worried.

Therefore, Liao Chunsheng felt that he could lead a team, and he would do the main work anyway, while his wife would be the assistant director and just be beautiful by her side quietly.

After Liao Chunsheng explained, Yang Yi nodded gently.

"What do you want to make? A movie or a TV series?" Yang Yi said with a smile.
