Six of the seven major shareholders of the company are star actors. On the last day of the new year''s Eve, six people will go to two different satellite TV stations to attend the new year''s Eve Gala. The premiere of Zhao Rui''s film is scheduled to be officially released on December 28, three days before New Year''s day. The new year''s Eve party should be rehearsed, and the premiere should also be prepared accordingly. In order not to affect the two jobs of the six star owners, the first annual meeting of young people''s film and television company was arranged one week before the Gregorian new year.
Xiao Yao and other seven are major shareholders of the company, but no one holds specific administrative positions in the company. Company administration, is to hire the industry experienced professionals to serve. Several of the top executives, in addition to their salaries, also received a small amount of company shares as incentives.
Young people''s company has no annual meeting, only a year-end summary meeting. This summary meeting is not a general meeting of all members, but a meeting of shareholders and executives of the company. Xiao Yao and other seven major shareholders attended, but not a few of them spoke in the early stage. The summary of the company''s work is made by the person in charge of each department.
The film and television company was founded in May this year. So far, it has invested in the production of three films and television works. Seven months to invest in producing three films and TV works is not a little, of course, not much for a film and TV company. However, considering that this is a new company that has just been established for less than a year, it is very difficult, especially since all the three projects are independently invested by this company.
In terms of finance, only one TV series project of the three projects invested by the company this year has been broadcast on TV stations and the Internet, and the other two film projects have not been shown yet. This also means that we have invested in three projects, and now only one project has income, so the company must be in a loss state in this financial year.
At the end of the year, the company as a whole did not make money, and naturally there would be no shareholders'' dividends at the end of the year. Xiao Yao, several of their major shareholders, of course, have no idea about this, and the executives with equity dividends don''t care much about it.
Although the company did not make money on the whole this year, the company did not lose money on a single project completed, on the contrary, it was profitable. Considering that this year is the first year of the company''s establishment, more importantly, there are still two films that have not been released. Even if there is no dividend, the company''s employees have not seen down the prospects of the company.
After the summary of the work has been completed, the next step is to plan the work of the company in the new year. Starting from this place, Xiao Yao took over the whole meeting.
"Thank you very much for your contribution to the company in the past year!" Xiao Yao first expressed his gratitude to the company''s senior executives present, and then directly mentioned the money issue, "although there is no dividend this year, the company''s finance is OK, and the year-end bonus is paid according to the standard of two to three months. At least two months and at most three months, and the specific amount is decided by the person in charge of each department. You executives with annual salary are calculated by dividing the annual salary by 12 months. Complete the distribution before the Lunar New Year
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao!" Company executives all laughed and clapped.
"Well," Xiao Yao waved his hand, waiting for everyone to be quiet, and then said, "with welfare, let me talk about the work plan for next year."
"First of all, I''d like to talk about some projects that will be carried out next year." Xiao Yao said, "first, our company will invest in a TV drama project. The producers are Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting of Huaxia drama academy. They are responsible for the script. Most of the staff in front of and behind the scenes will be graduates of Huaxia drama. In addition to paying, our company is also responsible for some administrative matters. "
"Mr. Xiao, you are the newcomer of guangyandian and Shenxi. It''s not enough to compete. You need to bring in the newcomers of Huaxi and gather together the works of the graduates of the three major film and television colleges in Huaxia?" Someone asked with a smile.
"Yes, even if you Yandian and Shenxi fight in the arena," someone continued, "three of our seven major shareholders graduated from Shenxi, two from Yandian, and one from teacher Yandian, but there is no one from Huaxi!"
"No way. This is what we promised Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting." Xiao Yao shrugged, "when we set up the company, we didn''t find them together. This kind of thing didn''t take them well."
"However," Xiao Yao continued, "we are not in conflict with the interests of the company when we do this project. This project of Chinese opera is jointly invested by our company and the two of them. We are the producer and the two of them are co producers. The copyright of film and television works belongs to our company. This TV play of our graduates of Shenxi opera has made money. It''s not necessary to lose money to find graduates of Huaxi opera. The project of Chinese opera is expected to start in May and June. We have already carried out similar projects. We have experience in cooperation with newcomers. I hope this project of Chinese opera can do better than the one of Shenxi. "
"Two personal producers can''t pay much, can they? It''s almost our sole investment! " Someone asked, "Mr. Xiao, our company''s current investment projects are wholly-owned, which is not in line with the normal operation of the industry. Is it too risky?"
"Yes Xiao Yao nodded, "so I don''t plan to invest all the projects independently in the future.""The first two projects that our company invests in are all projects with brand new personnel." Xiao Yao continued, "on the one hand, the newcomers are not well-known, the price is low and we can afford it alone. On the other hand, the newcomers are not well-known and have no appeal. This kind of project is not very popular with others. Only we are willing to pay for them. Of course, with our application example, some companies may be willing to cooperate with us, but in order to maintain the consistency of these three projects, we still invest separately! "
"We are the first one to find graduates as the main creative team. No one dares to cooperate with us before, so we don''t share this honor or gimmick with others." Zhao Rui continued.
After the first two project plans of young people''s company were announced, it was not only Xiao Yao who had received phone calls from Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting, but Zhao Rui who had also been complained by them. This project was discussed with them at that time.
"But independent investment is not our company''s tradition, other projects are not all so operated," Xiao Yao picked up the folder in front of Yang Yang, "such as this!" With that, Xiao Yao motioned an administrative assistant in charge of meeting minutes to distribute a pile of folders to others.
"This is a project plan for TV series, which will be the first project of our company next year." Xiao Yao continued, "the document in front of you is the outline of my script. I''m going to cooperate with Yin Xi studio on this project. Originally, I wanted to discuss with you at the meeting whether to invest in this project. However, because Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan shareholders have agreed to the project, I omitted the step of audit and turned to inform you. However, if you feel that there are any problems, you can also raise them. "
"The outline of the play has been written?" Zhao Rui and others all know Xiao Yao''s plan to cooperate with Yin Xi. When they get the folder, they immediately open it and look at it.
"The pretty sister who often invites us to dinner?" Lin Qisan looked at the title and couldn''t help but make complaints about it. "What''s your name? Is it too straightforward? How does it feel like the name of a Japanese and Korean drama? "
The outline of the script was indeed written by Xiao Yao according to a Korean drama in his previous life. He didn''t even change his name. However, Xiao Yao has just written a script outline, which applies the general relationship between the characters and the direction of the plot. He does not intend to copy the whole Korean drama in his previous life. When he writes a detailed script and improves the details, he will certainly make some local modifications.
"This is an outline. I''ll find someone to help me improve the script later. If there is a better name, it can''t be changed. " Xiao Yao said to Lin Qisan, "if you want to give me a name, I''ll change it if I get up well."
"I haven''t finished reading the outline, and I haven''t read the general story yet." Lin Qisan.
"Then you can see it quickly!" Xiao Yaodao.
"Yinxi studio? Isn''t that the company you own, Mr. Xiao? " On the top management side, someone said with a smile, "is that still working with your own people?"
"Well," Xiao Yao nodded, "it''s not only his own people, but also because it''s an urban fashion drama. We can make full use of the fashion resources of Yin Xi''s studio."
"It''s really a good choice to cooperate with Yin Xi studio for urban fashion dramas." Several executives nodded.
"The outline of the script looks good. Urban love plays are a very common theme, and sister brother love has always been a topic. There are always many interested audiences in such plays." After reading the outline of the script, some senior executives asked Xiao Yao, "Mr. Xiao, as for the performers, will miss Yin Xi also play?"
Although the company''s largest shareholder is Xiao Yao, seven of them have agreed to the project and are unlikely to be cut off, it does not mean that other executives of the company can not express their opinions. In some areas that they think are inappropriate, they can still strive for partial adjustments. When Xiao Yao wanted to do the two graduate projects, the company executives also expressed their opinions.
"Yes." Xiao Yao said, "I play the leading actor and Yin Xi the leading actress. All other characters are pending! "
"Miss Yin Xi as the heroine? Is it going to be a little risky? " A senior executive asked, "although Miss Yin Xi has been an actress for several years and has performed some works, she has never been the number one actress. Is it better to play the leading role of her sister?"
"No," Xiao Yao shook his head, "Yin Xi plays No. 1 girl. This will not change. Although she hasn''t played No.1 before, it doesn''t mean she can''t play No.1. In acting, I think she''s good enough to be a leading actress. When I write the script, I will design and perfect the character according to Yin Xi''s own situation. "
"The first two projects of our company are to find graduates of Shenxi opera and Yandian, that is, your five classmates to play the leading role. The third project is Miss Sun to play No.1 female, and the fourth project is Miss Yin Xi to play No.1 female. In this way, whether in the circle or in the audience, it should be said that the leading role of our company is all related." One executive shook his head and said with a smile.
"As long as the selected actors have the strength and acting skills, the quality of our company''s works is excellent, even if they are called related households, it''s nothing, it will only become a kind of talk." Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"At this point, I''ll announce a few rules by the way!" Xiao Yao continued."The rules?" The others look at Xiao Yao.
"It''s not about administration. We don''t care much about it. What I''m talking about is about the work of our company''s film and television projects." Xiao Yao said, "in the future, our company will not only invest in film and television projects alone, but also cooperate with other companies. If it''s a co producer, we don''t have much right to speak. We don''t have to ask for it, but as long as it''s a project led by our company, we have to do so. "
"First of all," Xiao Yao said with a finger, "actors are not allowed to make trouble during shooting. They must ensure that only our plays are made during shooting. This is written in the contract. Those who disagree would rather change actors. Of course, this is only for the main actors such as the leading role and the supporting role. The minor supporting role, the long Tao, the guest role and the group performance are not included. "
"Second," Xiao Yao pointed out, "whether it''s a film project or a TV project, it''s mainly for TV projects. Actors use the original sound, and they don''t find other dubbing actors in post production. When shooting, the simultaneous sound recording is adopted. If the recording effect is not good, the actor must make up the recording in the later stage. This also means that, don''t mention those digital Mr. and digital miss, even those actors who are willing to speak lines but have poor lines skills don''t want them. Similarly, only for the main actors, small roles are not in this range
"Third," Xiao Yao stretched out his third finger, "no matter how famous an actor is, unless it''s a dangerous action play or some professional action involving the safety of the actor himself, normal Wenxi doesn''t use doubles; unless it''s the requirement of special effects in the later stage, normal scenes are not allowed to be cut, and they are all written in the contract."
"So strict?" Others looked at Xiao Yao in surprise.
"It''s not over yet," Xiao Yao continued, "but the last few are not for actors, they are for behind the scenes. The third is about the shooting of TV series. The cameramen and shooting equipment are all in accordance with the standards for making movies. The fourth is about props and scenery. Whether it''s a movie or a TV series project, every scene must have credibility. The fifth is about the later period. In terms of subtitles, there must be no typos. "
"The last one, including photography, props, clothing and all aspects of the post, that is, no gangsters." Xiao Yao finally said, "there are a lot of people on the Internet who like to look for gangster scenes in movies and TV dramas. Sometimes they are happy to watch them, but I don''t want the happiness of netizens to come from our negligence. If any of our company''s works appear in these posts or video collections, the person in charge of the project will be punished! How to punish, please draw up a standard. "
"Ah?" After listening to Xiao Yao''s rules, everyone present showed an incredible expression.
"Mr. Xiao, although all these should be done, it''s really too difficult to do them all. Is it too strict?" Someone said to Xiao Yao, "don''t talk about us, I''m afraid no film company can do it?"
"It''s a bit strict, but just because others can''t do it doesn''t mean we can''t either." Xiao Yao said, "the first two are the attitude of the actors and the professional level of the actors. A good job in the casting process can be guaranteed. The big deal is to spend more time in casting. The third and fourth are the requirements of the shooting period, which is nothing more than spending more money and using more snacks. In the latter two, although people can''t guarantee 100% no mistakes, I don''t ask for 100% good, but if they make mistakes, they will be punished. After punishment, the probability of making mistakes will naturally become smaller. "
"In this way, we will choose fewer actors. The cost of projects of the same level of production will be much higher. " Zhu Zitong frowned.
"The choice of actors will be limited, but it will be 2022 soon. There are many actors who want to be stars, and there are many really good actors. They can always choose the right actors." Xiao Yao said, "if the production cost is increased, I''m afraid it''s not as high as the pay of one or two star actors?"
"If we really want to keep it up," Zhao said with a smile, "our company, which specializes in finding related clients to play the leading role, may become a clean stream in the film and television industry."
"Among the seven of us, six actors, five family members and five family elders are the predecessors in the circle," Xiao Yao said with a smile. "Our company doesn''t raise some standards or do better than other companies. How can we stand up to our family background and identity?"
