I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 266 Military Movie

The next day, Wan Qingshan came to the company. The secretary immediately brought water and said,
"Mr. Wan, the finance department told me early in the morning that Mr. Niu returned 100 million to the company and it has been transferred to the company account."

"Go and tell the financial manager that this 100 million should not be transferred to the account, but should be used as a bonus and distributed to the company's employees."

"Mr. Wan, all 100 million has been distributed!"

The secretary looked very excited, and her excitement was very obvious.

Qingshan Media Company now has a total of 600 people and 100 million yuan. Evenly divided, each person has more than 1000 yuan.

As a secretary, of course she also has a share. Who wouldn't be happy if she suddenly got a bonus of more than 1000 yuan?

Wan Qingshan nodded slightly, "Tell the finance department to try to find cash. Don't use bank transfers for this kind of money."

"Yes, Mr. Wan, I'm going right now!"

After the secretary walked out, Wan Qingshan sat down and sighed slightly.

He didn't know how much Niu Zhou had embezzled, and he had no evidence of Niu Zhou's corruption.

He dared to say that in meetings before because he knew that it was normal for department managers to be corrupt.

If the department managers of any company do not line their own pockets, it only means that the company is not good and the department managers of the company do not have the conditions to line their own pockets.

But he didn't expect that Niu Zhou would hand over 100 million just by talking casually, which made Wan Qingshan realize that the company's corruption was a bit serious.

Niu Zhou must have embezzled more than 100 million. It is impossible for him to hand over all the embezzled money just because he said a word. 100 million is probably only a small part.

Niu Zhou alone embezzled millions or even tens of millions. What about other department managers?
Corruption is serious, but Wan Qingshan has nothing to do now. He has just taken charge of the company and it is hard to cause too many problems to avoid too much turmoil in the company, so he can only do this for now.

,,,,,,
A few days later, Cheng Ting and Tian Li submitted a jointly customized investment form corresponding to screenwriter levels.

After reading this, Wan Qingshan's eyes wandered around the two of them.

“The investment fluctuates too much, so you take it and make changes again.

A script written by a second-level screenwriter requires an investment of 5000 million to 20 million. Such a large fluctuation is definitely not allowed, and the fluctuation cannot exceed [-]%.

If you are worried that the fluctuation is too small and it is difficult to operate when making a movie, then you can subdivide the screenwriter levels, and each level is divided into three small levels. The levels are determined by the screenwriter's performance in the previous script.

In short, the standards must be set in detail so that subsequent operations can be carried out in accordance with the standards better.

Mr. Cheng, when making movies in the future, if the production funds are not enough according to the screenwriter's level, you must not come to me to invest more. You can only find ways to cut some expenses. Once there are standards, they must be strictly implemented.

Also, if you want to cut expenses, you can only cut back on the actors' salaries. If you can't negotiate, you can replace them with actors with lower salaries.

In short, the expenditure on special effects and props cannot be reduced. The effects in these aspects are not to say that they are the best in the industry, but don't give me [-]-cent special effects. At first glance, they are the effects of fake props. "

"Yes, yes, I will remember it." Cheng Ting replied quickly.

"Okay, take it and revise it."

After the two walked out with the documents, Wan Qingshan picked up his coat and prepared to buy groceries.

Because he manages Qingshan Media Company, he can only live in the capital.

Chen Yumo didn't have to go to work to raise the baby, so they moved here together.

Chen Yumo came over, and so did Li Ru, and from time to time, he would be asked to go back to buy groceries after get off work.

Li Ru doesn't care what kind of boss you are, but if your wife suddenly wants to eat something, you must buy it.

When Wan Qingshan bought groceries in the supermarket and was about to go home, Feng Linlin suddenly called.

"Director Wan, the Shanghai International Film Festival has sent you an invitation to serve as the chairman of the jury for the main competition of this Shanghai International Film Festival."

"If you refuse for me, just say I don't have time."

Although the Magic City International Film Festival is also a Category A film festival, like the Dawn International Film Festival and the Tallinn Dark Night Film Festival, these Category A film festivals do not have a high global reputation and not many people participate, even if they are on the jury. Chairman, there's not much money to be gained.

And if one of them doesn't do it right, it will cause a lot of trouble!

If a Chinese-language film doesn't win a major award, some viewers will definitely question which way your butt is facing as the chairman of the jury.

"Director Wan, I will refuse the Shanghai Film Festival soon.

By the way, Director Wan, there is one more thing. Shanghai Film Academy is holding a film and television production exchange meeting. This meeting is open to the media and the audience, and you are also invited..."

Wan Qingshan was a little annoyed when he heard about the exchange meeting. Before Feng Linlin finished speaking, Wan Qingshan said,
"Reject them for me too. In the future, if invitations are sent to you for exchange meetings like this, you will reject them."

Since Wan Qingshan returned to China to develop his career, he has received many such invitations, but he rejected them all.

He only went to such open exchange meetings when he had enough to eat and nothing to do.

Communicating, communicating, communicating for a long time is all nonsense.

Those who participate in these exchange meetings all want to promote the company through the media. At the same time, they hope to find strong collaborators at the meeting.

But Qingshan Media has none of these, so why not do it!

"Um, Director Wan, I rejected all the invitations from previous exchange meetings.

But this time, SIPG said that inviting you to participate in the exchange meeting is just incidental. The main reason is to discuss cooperation with you, so I can't refuse directly. "

Cooperation?

Wan Qingshan frowned, thought for a while, and asked, "When will the meeting be held?"

"a week later!"

Wan Qingshan thought about it for a week and found nothing happened, so - "You reply to Shangying and I will come over."

"Okay, Director Wan!"

A week later, Wan Qingshan and Feng Linlin, who had finished adjusting the company's affairs, flew to the Magic City together with two bodyguards.

The exchange meeting will only start tomorrow, but when Wan Qingshan arranged for Shanghai Film to pick up people to check into the hotel, he found that many people had already arrived, including Li Xiaoping from Enlight Pictures, Wang Zhonglei from Huayi, Xu Yuanxiang from Alibaba Pictures,,,,

The men gathered on a sofa at the side of the hall to talk.

Wanqingshan's arrival surprised them.

After Wan Qingshan returned to China, he did not appear in front of the public, let alone participate in such exchange meetings. He did not expect that he would come this time.

"Director Wan, I didn't expect you to come too." Li Xiaoping stepped forward and greeted with a smile.

“Come here to listen to everyone’s opinions and learn!”

After Wan Qingshan finished speaking, he asked Feng Linlin to take his luggage to the room first, and he started talking to everyone who came over.

After chatting for a while, Ren Zhonglun from Shanghai Film Academy arrived.

Ren Zhonglun might be anxious about cooperating with Wan Qingshan. After chatting with Li Xiaoping and the others, he invited Wan Qingshan to change places to chat, regardless of whether Li Xiaoping or the others were still there.

Looking at the backs of Wan Qingshan and Ren Zhonglun walking out, Wang Zhonglei whispered, "What do you think Mr. Ren is talking to Director Wan about? Cooperation?"

Xu Yuanxiang pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said with a smile, "Mr. Ren and Director Wan are both in the film and television industry, so the only thing they can talk about is cooperation, and they can't talk about what to eat."

Qingshan Media's influence in the industry is already large enough. If it cooperates with Shanghai Film Group again and combines the two powers, the current situation may change. "

Everyone secretly glanced at Xu Yuanxiang. Although they all knew that Xu Yuanxiang had no good intentions, his words were intended to arouse everyone's caution against Qingshan Media.

As for why Xu Yuanxiang has this attitude towards Qingshan Media, he clearly has no grudges or grudges?
Everyone knows the reason.

Alibaba, Penguin, and Baidu, the three major Internet companies, have always had competition, but the competition was not that big before, except when Penguin launched Paipai.com.

In the past few years, after the three major Internet companies reached a certain stage of development, they all began to "enclose their territory" and expand their respective ecological chains.

With expansion, there will naturally be collisions and competition will become fierce.

Penguin and Ali already had a grudge because of Paipai.com.Last year, Alibaba established Laiwang to enter the network communications industry. The competition between the two companies has become more intense, and now they are almost at war with each other.

Qingshan Media in Wanqingshan is close to Penguin. As a member of Alibaba, Xu Yuanxiang naturally wants to attack.

Although Xu Yuanxiang had no good intentions, what he said was correct.

If Qingshan Media cooperates with Shanghai Film and Television to develop new businesses, it will surpass Huayi and take the leading position in private film and television within a year or two.

Although Tsingshan Media has completely surpassed Huayi in film and television production, in terms of film and television cities, theme parks, fashion, and games, Tsingshan Media has not been involved at all, while Huayi has fully rolled out, so it is the leading private film and television company. Still Huayi.

However, as long as there is a little progress in the new business cooperation with Shanghai Film Group, Qingshan Media can surpass Huayi!

Thinking of this, Wang Zhonglei frowned.From the outside world, Huayi is still very prosperous, but he is aware of his own hardships. In the film production industry, it has been surpassed by Qingshan Media. Enlight, Bona, Wanda, and LeTV Pictures also have a tendency to surpass Huayi.

Among them, LeTV Pictures has the strongest development momentum. Jia Yueting is building a super strong LeTV ecological chain. All industries in the ecological chain can feed back LeTV Pictures.

These companies are booming, but as for Huayi, the theme park has been established, but it is still losing money, and there is no profit direction.

Huayi could not find a point in games, fashion, and other businesses that could be connected with the film, television, and theme park businesses to form a closed-loop chain, resulting in no profit at all.

The main business, film production, has been stretched in recent years. Now Huayi is shaky!
,,,,,,
It seems that people have a quirk, they all like to talk about things while eating. Even if it is not a meal, they still like to come to the restaurant to eat and talk about things.

It's as if you can't talk without eating some food or drinking some wine.

In a private room of a restaurant near the hotel, Wan Qingshan and Ren Zhonglun were chatting while waiting for the waiter to serve their food.

After the food was served, Ren Zhonglun drank a glass of wine and ate a few bites of the food before he started talking about business.

"Director Wan, do you think there is a market for modern military films?"

Ren Zhonglun's first words confused Wan Qingshan.

Isn’t it Yu Dong who made the military movie popular?
Ren Zhonglun now thinks of military movies. How did he think of it?
Wan Qingshan thought about it in his mind and then said, "Mr. Ren, of course there is a market for military films. In any country in the world, as long as the local market is big enough, there is a market for military films.

Military films, with strong patriotic attributes, can attract many viewers.

But Mr. Ren, how did you come up with the idea of ​​a military movie? "

Wan Qingshan's answer made Ren Zhonglun sigh in relief.

Shanghai Film Academy was not sure whether there was a market for military films, so ever since it was proposed, it has been hesitating whether to make a military film.

Wan Qingshan, who now has the best grasp of the domestic film market, says that if there is a market, then there must be a market, and Shanghai Film can rest assured to produce.

Ren Zhonglun said with a smile on his face, "Director Wan, Shanghai Film Academy thought of making a military film. It's all because of you and your Qingshan Media Company, Director Wan.

Looking at "Loyalty", "Painted Skin", "The Ancient City", and "33 Days of Love", these four high-box-office movies that triggered a wave of movie viewings all have one characteristic, that is, when they were released, the market was like this There are relatively few genre movies.

Therefore, Shanghai Film Studio thought that if it wanted to achieve high box office, it would have to make movies of a relatively small type on the market.

But now, there are almost no military films on the market. "

Wan Qingshan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Shanghai Film Studio would want to make a military film because of him.

However, we can see from the past high-box office movies that novel movies are more likely to have high box office, and Shanghai Film Academy also has talents!
"Director Wan, I wonder if Qingshan Media is interested in participating in a military film?" Ren Zhonglun asked.

Wan Qingshan said without thinking, "Of course I'm interested, but before signing the investment contract, I need to see the specific script, and also, I need to know who the director is?

Mr. Ren, it’s not that I don’t believe in Shanghai Film’s production capabilities, it’s just that there haven’t been military films for many years. I’m worried that Shanghai Film has not paid attention to some aspects. "

Now when making military films, Wan Qingshan believes that he will not lose money no matter what.

"Wolf Warrior 1", which was released two years later in the original world, did not suffer any losses. As long as you don't mess around and shoot the battle scenes well, you will definitely make money.

But he was afraid that many people at Shanghai Film Academy had old ideas and would make a military film too obviously a praise film, which would cause problems.

If you haven’t signed a contract, you have to read the specific script!Also know the director!
Ren Zhonglun was not dissatisfied at all, but was very happy.

There is no guarantee that a military film will be released, but the film produced will be liked by the audience.

But if Wan Qingshan is willing to take some responsibility for the movie, then he will be more relieved.

Looking at the scripts, not to mention Wan Qingshan's several Oscar original screenplay trophies, the commercial movie scripts written by Wan Qingshan are either domestic or global hits, so you have to believe in Wan Qingshan's screenwriting ability.

When it comes to selecting directors, Wan Qingshan has discovered several successful commercial directors. If you don't even believe in Wan Qingshan's vision for selecting directors, then no one will!

"No problem, Director Wan, I'll send the script to you immediately as soon as I get it.

Let’s discuss the director selection together at that time. "

After the matter was settled, Wan Qingshan and Ren Zhonglun started chatting. Wan Qingshan thought everything was fine, but as Ren Zhonglun kept chatting, they suddenly talked about opening a company together.

"Director Wan, in fact, Shanghai Film and Television and Qingshan Media can definitely strengthen their cooperation.

Although our film and television production is average, we have a lot of IP.

The art studio under Shanghai Film Studio has produced many cartoons that have been loved by generations of viewers.

And Director Wan, you can be said to be the No. 1 in film peripherals in China. Not to mention you are the founder of 'Dianji', but you have suggested to Wang Zhongjun and others how to operate film peripherals."

Ren Zhonglun suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He suddenly thought that Wang Zhongjun and the others would be killed if they were engaged in movie peripherals!

Ren Zhonglun paused and continued, "Well, although Wang Zhongjun and others failed in operating movie peripherals, their pricing was too high. I don't blame Wan Dao for your method.

Director Wan, you know how to operate movie peripherals, and I own the IP of Shanghai Film.

We can definitely have in-depth cooperation and open a company that operates movie peripherals. "

Wan Qingshan's withdrawal from 'Dianji' has long been spread within the industry.

'Dianji' has done so well, and now the film peripheral market is almost dominated by 'Dianji', but Wan Qingshan suddenly withdrew, which surprised everyone.

In addition to being surprised, everyone is watching to see if Wanqingshan will make movie peripherals again so that they can get involved.

If you want to say that the most hopeful person for Wan Qingshan is to develop movie peripherals as soon as possible, it must be Shanghai Film.

If we want to talk about which company owns the most IP in China, it must be Shanghai Film and Television. "Havoc in Heaven", "Black Cat Sheriff", "Calabash Brothers",,,, these cartoons that have accompanied generations of people to grow up are all from Shanghai Film and Television. Produced by Film Art Factory.

If the film peripheral operations are opened up, it will bring super high and stable income to Shanghai Film.

In the past, due to attribute issues, Shanghai Film and Television, like China Film Group, did not work with Huayi and the others to produce movie peripherals. They wanted to see the effect of Huayi and the others in producing movie peripherals.

Huayi and others have been involved in movie peripherals, and they have caused trouble. There was news before that "high school sophomores used one semester's tuition to buy idol peripherals." This kind of news is not an isolated case, there are several cases, and the social impact is very bad.

Shanghai Film Studio is very lucky not to mess around with movie peripherals with Huayi and others.

Huayi and the others are messing around, but 'Dianji' is doing very well.

Therefore, Shanghai Film Group also approached Dianji and wanted Dianji to operate movie peripherals.

But the commission from 'Dianji' was too high. It used to be 40% of the profit.

Even if the commission is later reduced, it will still be 25% of the profit, which is still high!

Therefore, SIPG has been eagerly waiting for Wanqingshan to start a film peripheral company, but Wanqingshan has been silent.

Shangying couldn't wait any longer and had no choice but to take the initiative to talk to Wan Qingshan.

Ren Zhonglun approached Wan Qingshan to discuss matters. The discussion about cooperation in military films was just a trivial matter. The main purpose was to discuss cooperation in opening a film peripheral company.

Cooperate to operate movie peripherals!

Wan Qingshan shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "Mr. Ren, I have no plans to make any more movie peripherals."

Ren Zhonglun was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to ask why, Wan Qingshan's voice continued to sound.

"Mr. Ren, I won't hide it from you. When I quit 'Dianji', I signed a special contract with Penguin. Within five years, I can't engage in movie peripherals, nor can I help others make movie peripherals."

Ren Zhonglun's face showed surprise that Wan Qingshan would sign such a contract!

"Mr. Ren, because I signed the contract, I can't say much about the film's surroundings.

But my personal suggestion is that if Shanghai Film Group really wants to make good movie peripherals, then do it yourself slowly and never cooperate with others.

No matter how difficult it is, don't cooperate with others! "

Ren Zhonglun's eyes became very shocked. Wan Qingshan's words showed that he had to withdraw from the 'Electric Collection' because of a conflict of opinion with Penguin.

Don't cooperate with others. Wan Qingshan thinks that Internet companies and other film and television companies will not focus on making movie peripherals!

"Director Wan, thank you for your suggestion. I will consider it carefully."

Once this matter is said, it really doesn't matter anymore, it's really just nonsense.

While chatting, I ate. It took two hours to finish the meal.

Afterwards, Wan Qingshan and Ren Zhonglun returned to the hotel together and continued chatting with Xu Yuanxiang and the others.

Xu Yuanxiang and the others were not stupid enough to ask what Wan Qingshan and Ren Zhonglun were talking about. They were all talking about the future development of the film and television industry.
