Of course Xianyu would not say this, it's just everyone's imagination.
But just because Xianyu didn’t say it doesn’t mean that others won’t think so.
This moment.
I don’t know how many people in the Star Film Department felt a burning sensation on their faces.
However…
The one who felt the most embarrassed was Du An.
Du An is the director of "Thunderstorm" and also a well-known first-line director in Qi Province.
When Qin and Qi merged last year, Xingmang spent a huge amount of money to recruit Du An, and then built a movie around Du An as the director.
The goal, of course, is to make a fortune and then make a star voice in the film and television industry!
As a result, Thunderstorm performed mediocrely.
On the contrary, it was "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One", which the company did not attach much importance to, that took up the banner of the film and television department for Xingmang!
That time, Du An was already very embarrassed.
In order to save face, Du An decided that he must show his worth in the next movie and let Xing Mang see his strength as a great director of Qi Province.
result…
Du An’s next movie hasn’t come out yet, but Xian Yu’s new movie “The Piano Tuner” has become a hit!
Du An suddenly felt even more embarrassed!
Equally embarrassed as Du An was Mr. Zhang Yu, a famous screenwriter who was poached by Xingmang from Qi Province. The script of "Thunderstorm" was written by Zhang Yu.
But before Zhang Yu had the time to write the second script, he was hit hard by "The Piano Tuner"!
This is a script that Zhang Yudu praised!
When the two of them got together again, Zhang Yu sighed softly: "Heroes emerge from youth. You can consider cooperating with Xianyu."
“We can’t cooperate.”
Du An smiled bitterly: "The core system of screenwriters is contrary to my philosophy."
The screenwriter-core system and the director-core system are two operating methods for a film crew, each with its own advantages.
A director with ideas would certainly not be willing to be controlled by the screenwriter, let alone a great director like Du An
Even if it is Zhang Yu, the script also serves the director Du An, and Du An's ideas determine the way the script is presented.
Unless Xianyu is willing to let Du An control the presentation of the script, Du An will never cooperate with Xianyu.
Why is Xianyu the most discussed character when "The Piano Tuner" becomes popular
It is because everyone knows that "The Piano Tuner" is a typical product of the screenwriter-centered system, and Yi Chenggong in the director column is just a tool for Xianyu to realize his intentions.
"Too."
Zhang Yu's words just now were actually meant to test her, but they made her feel a little more at ease, as she knew that her job was not going to be lost.
"Let's work hard on the next movie."
"Um."
Du An responded in a deep voice.
He thought he was the number one boss in the film department when he came to Xingmang, but he didn't expect that after entering the company, he actually lost to an outsider, and in an internal competition.
The other side.
Due to the popularity of "The Piano Tuner", Lao Zhou attended the company's impromptu high-level meeting on behalf of the film department.
The theme of the meeting was exactly Envy Fish.
Chairman and General Manager Li Songhua tapped his fingers on the table and suddenly said, "Please bring up Xianyu's contract again."
Everyone nodded.
There must be a huge difference between the official stamped small song composer and the ordinary gold medal composer. The company can pay a higher price to win over the composers.
This is the consensus of all senior executives.
Li Songhua added: "Increase Xianyu's resource allocation in the film department. If he makes a new film, the standard will be higher."
"good."
This is within Lao Zhou’s authority.
If only "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One" was a big hit, the top management might have opposed this decision, but it is different now.
After all, the company's original purpose in producing "The Piano Tuner" was just to win awards, and they didn't expect the film to have a high box office.
But now, the box office is booming.
As a result, the entire company's attention to Xianyu has reached a higher level!
…
Lin Yuan was in a very good mood when he learned that his contract had been upgraded again.
In fact, agent Jinmu had already reminded Lin Yuan that he should talk to the company about upgrading the contract level. However, the company made the relevant decision consciously before Lin Yuan took the initiative to speak.
Of course Lin Yuan was happy.
There was no resistance to the new contract. After all, it was the boss of the company who made the decision. Zhou San completed the contract in no time and introduced the new contract to Lin Yuan in detail:
"In the future, if you collaborate with third-tier singers, you can get 90% of the downloads."
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up!
Lao Zhou continued:
"If you work with a second-tier singer, you can take 70%, and the company will negotiate with the singer for the rest."
"If you cooperate with a top-tier artist or a singer king, you can get 50% of the share, and the company will also negotiate the rest."
Lin Yuan listened carelessly to the latter two divisions.
If it's not absolutely necessary, only a fool would collaborate with a second-tier or first-tier star, or even the king of singers.
I won't go into details.
In short, this contract is much better than Lin Yuan’s previous contract!
Double it directly!
Qu Dad’s share is 100%!
Lin Yuan is not Qu's father yet, but he can directly take 90%, which is very close to Qu's father's share!
Of course.
Qu Dad can participate in the profit sharing beyond the download volume, which is a treatment that Lin Yuan cannot get for the time being. However, considering that Qu Dad's qualifications and the total amount of his past works far exceed his own, Lin Yuan can accept it.
He had no qualms and signed the new music contract directly.
After finishing this matter, Lao Zhou stared at Lin Yuan and asked, "Do you have any other requests?"
"have."
Lin Yuan had already prepared a plan for this: "In my future scripts, I want to have 50% investment freedom."
"Fifty percent? Like this time?"
Lao Zhou hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll think about it. It's not that difficult, but aren't you worried about losing money on the movie? Don't think that you can continue to be successful just because you have two successful movies in a row. The market is hard to predict."
"Um."
Lin Yuan spoke.
A movie that had been successful in the previous life cannot be guaranteed to be 100% successful in this life, but he feels that the chance of success is at least higher than that of an ordinary movie.
"It's not a big deal..."
Lao Zhou hesitated for a moment and said, "But I suggest you invest about 30%. The company is big and powerful. Although you can make more money if the movie is a success, you will lose less if it loses money."
Old Zhou doesn't have any bad intentions.
He just felt that no matter how great a director or screenwriter is, there will be times when they make mistakes, and "Thunderstorm" is a vivid example.
Lin Yuan nodded.
He doesn't have to invest so much every time. After all, as a screenwriter, he can also participate in the profit sharing and he is indispensable in making money.
If there is a risk, it would be easier if the company is involved.
Anyway, he can't avoid the company when it comes to making movies. Without the company's support, it's not easy to pull together a reliable crew.
"That's right."
After talking about these, Lao Zhou asked: "Do you have any ideas for your next movie?"
"not yet."
"Okay, I'll wait for your news."
Lao Zhou stood up and said, "In the future, at least one-third of the resources in the company's film department will be on standby for you. The company trusts your script very much now, but in the future, we may add a prerequisite that the actors should be selected from within the company as much as possible."
"Understood, provided that the company's actors meet the requirements."
"Don't worry about this."
Lao Zhou smiled and said, "If you are looking for someone within the company, as long as the script is good, even if you want a big name, I can negotiate the salary."
The directing and directing duo of the film department are still Du An and Zhang Yu.
It is impossible for Xingmang to deny the abilities of the two just because the response to "Thunderstorm" was mediocre.
However, starting from "The Piano Tuner", Xianyu will become an important figure in the Star Film Department after these two.
