"Do you agree to set these rules for future works of the company?" Xiao Yao asked.
"No!" Everyone shook their heads.
The major shareholders here are Xiao Yao''s playmates from childhood to adulthood, and the senior executives are recruited by Xiao Yao studio. Naturally, they are more in tune with each other ideologically.
Although Xiao Yao''s regulations are more stringent than most of the film and television production units in the industry at present, as a film and television work with quality pursuit, these are actually more basic requirements and should be achieved. Although as a film and television company also has the pursuit of profit, but do conscience works and economic benefits are completely opposite.
"Mr. Xiao, do we need to publish these Regulations on the company''s official account?" Asked the head of the company''s publicity department.
"No," said Xiao Yao, shaking his head. "If you make a special statement, it seems too deliberate, like hype. Let''s talk about the works, not the hype! Moreover, if it is high-profile and public, it may be watched with a magnifying glass in the future. In case of any special situation in the future, it may be used by some people with ulterior motives to bring rhythm. So this is the company''s internal regulations, no special publicity. As long as we insist on doing so, sooner or later, these rules will be passed to the industry and then to the public through the rejected actors and companies, so that we can know better. "
"I see!" The head of the Propaganda Department nodded.
"Mr. Xiao, you said that this project is our first one next year, so when is the expected startup time? Is it necessary to start preparations before the Chinese new year? Do you need to communicate with Miss Yin Xi''s studio? " The person in charge of the production department asked, "also, you and miss Yin Xi play the leading role respectively. Are you still the director and producer?"
"Our film" donkey gets water "has not been finalized. I plan to release it after the Lantern Festival. It will be at least a week before the movie is released, so the TV series project will start as early as next March, but the preparation will start before the Chinese New Year. " Xiao Yao replied, "the preparatory work, of course, needs to communicate and cooperate with Yin Xi''s studio. I made an appointment with Yin Xi to attend our annual meeting, but she said it was our company''s annual meeting and insisted on not coming. When we have finished the first draft of the script, we will contact them to make preparations. "
"As for the director and producer, I''m not going to do it this time." Xiao Yao then said, "this TV series project, I only do actors and screenwriters."
"That is, we still need to find a reliable producer and director?" The head of the production department asked, "are you going to pick it yourself or our department?"
"You go to find it," Xiao Yao said. "After I get the first draft of the script, you go to find the right producer and director according to the script, and finally let Yin Xi and I meet."
"When it comes to producers and directors, our company just doesn''t sign artists. Should we sign some exclusive directors and screenwriters?" Lin Qisan said, "many film and television companies have their own directors and screenwriters."
"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded and turned to the public, "this script, I only finished the outline, complete script, I want to find other writers to help me finish it together. In addition to the two projects mentioned just now, we will continue to do the second season of "shared youth" next year. In the second season, we try our best to use the original team, but neither Lin Qisan nor I will continue to be producers. We need to find another producer. I won''t have my own project to be a director next year. Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan haven''t tried to be directors for the time being, so we all need people for producers, directors and screenwriters. "
"Our company doesn''t sign artists," Xiao Yao continued, "but we can sign professional producers, directors and screenwriters."
"Are you the students of Yandian opera?" Someone asked.
"Including, but not limited to, them." Xiao Yao said, "the most important thing is to look at ability, followed by experience, and then style. The directors and screenwriters of the TV series we applied for can sign the ones who have the best performance and are sure to direct the second season, and the others can observe again. The directors and screenwriters of the Yandian film will watch it after the movie is released. We call young people, and we don''t just sign young people. When we meet good directors who are capable and experienced but don''t have contracts, we can try to fight for them. As for screenwriters, I prefer the way of division of labor and cooperation. It doesn''t matter if we sign more young people. "
"I see!" Everyone nodded, apparently agreeing to include this item in the new year''s work plan.
"Finally, there''s another thing, which is also related to the project." Xiao Yao said, "although our company is called young people film and television company, I don''t want to just make movies and TV series. Next year, I want to try documentary projects."
"Documentary?" The crowd was surprised again.
"Although film and television companies make few documentaries, it''s not without them." Zhao Rui took the lead in saying, "what subject do you want to shoot?"
"You certainly don''t want to make any corporate documentary," Lin guessed. "Is it environmental protection? As a goodwill ambassador of the United Nations Environment Program, do you really take environmental protection as your task? Do you want to shoot the haze of Yanjing? ""That''s a good idea!" Xiao Yao touched his chin and said, "but haze is not easy to shoot in general, and it may be banned after shooting. Besides, if we really want to shoot this subject, it''s meaningful for my goodwill ambassador to take part in shooting in person. But next year''s documentary project, I just put forward a more interesting idea. I want to give it to others to shoot, but I don''t plan to go on the show myself. After all, I have a lot of things to do, such as filming! "
"What''s a more interesting idea?" Everyone asked with great interest.
When it comes to documentaries, everyone''s first feeling is related to seriousness. When Xiao Yao talks about fun, you have to be curious about it.
"Delicious food!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"Food documentary?" First of all, there were some accidents, and then the eyes of several of you lit up.
"To be exact, it should be food and culture!" Xiao Yao said, "I''m just an idea now, so I didn''t do any copywriting. Let''s talk about it. The main content of this documentary is about the food ecology of China. Through the analysis of all aspects of Chinese food, we can show the rituals, ethics and other aspects of culture brought by food to Chinese people''s life, see the Chinese characteristic food materials and a series of elements related to food and constituting the unique temperament of Chinese food, and understand the delicacy and origin of Chinese food culture. "
The documentary Xiao Yao wanted to make was "China on the tip of the tongue" in his previous life. He simply introduced the documentary.
"In my opinion," Xiao Yao continued, "this documentary is not in the form of a movie. It won''t be shown in cinemas. It''s in the form of a TV play. It''s seasonal and diverse. There are so many Chinese delicacies, and the materials are absolutely enough. If the first season is well done, we can continue to do the second season and the third season. "
"Want to make a series again, one a year?" Lin Qisan said with a smile, "it seems that you are really deeply influenced by American dramas!"
Xiao Yao laughed and continued: "but it''s not easy to shoot. I think that just the preliminary research needs to do a lot of work, and I will definitely go to many places when shooting. I estimate that the production cycle of the first season will take about a year to ensure the quality. In one year, I may be free in the future, but I won''t be free next year, so I don''t plan to do this project myself. Instead, I plan to find seven or eight directors and a dozen photographers to jointly complete the first season of this documentary. "
"Seven or eight directors, a dozen photographers?" Zhao Rui said, "so inspiring?"
"However, the film and television company run by a few young actors, it sounds absolutely interesting to spend so much energy and cost to make a documentary about food and culture!" Zhu Zitong said, "even if it doesn''t make money in the end, I agree with it very much!"
"We agree, too!" Others have also expressed their views.
"Now that you have expressed your approval directly, I will not write any copywriting." Xiao Yao said, "the production department will help me find some documentary directors and photographers who are good at and experienced in this field. After finding them, I will directly interview them. In addition, the specific executive producers will have to prepare three."
"Good!" The person in charge of the production department nodded and agreed, and wrote down Xiao Yao''s request.
"That''s all I have to say." Xiao Yao looked at Zhao Rui and other humanitarians, "it''s your turn next. Do you have anything to say?"
"No!" Zhao Rui shook his head and said, "what can we say?"
"Next year''s plan," Xiao Yao said, "I''ve said so much, don''t you have any project proposals to talk about?"
"My plan for next year is acting! If you have a good book, take it. If you don''t, wait. " Zhao Rui said, "unlike you, I can write a script outline in a few days and come up with a documentary idea. I''ve been busy with the release of movies these days. For the time being, I haven''t come across any scripts or stories that I like, and I don''t have the idea of letting the company start projects. "
"Me too!" Zhu Zitong also said.
"I''ve seen a good novel recently, and some of them want to make it into a TV play." Lin Qisan said, "but if I operate alone, I don''t have much confidence, and there is no role in the book that I am particularly suitable for and I want to play, so I''m hesitant about whether the proposal company will start this project. It''s not like you''re writing a script for sister Xi. I don''t have a strong desire. "
"Let''s talk about it." Xiao Yao said, "when a company starts a project, it doesn''t have to have one of us take part in it. As long as we think it''s worth shooting, we can shoot it without our participation. Let''s talk about the name of the novel, what it''s about, the popularity of the original work, and the fan base. "
"Well, the novel is very long. I''m afraid I can''t make it clear for a while. This novel is beautiful, but there are a lot of fans. I''m afraid it''s hard to adapt, or if it''s filmed, it will be banned from broadcasting! " Lin Qisan.
"Tan Mei Xiang?" Xiao Yao takes a funny look at Lin Qisan and Nina, and says with a smile, "what kind of novel do you read? Did you watch it or did Nina watch it? "
"Well, don''t say that!" Xiao Yao looked at both faces with an embarrassed expression. He waved his hand and said, "it''s the writer''s business whether adaptation is good or not. Moreover, TV stations can''t broadcast it. They can cooperate with video websites to make online dramas. The scale of online dramas should be a little looser. Of course, the most important thing is the quality of the novel. Since you don''t think it''s clear for a while, please send us the title of the book. Let''s have a look at it some time, and then discuss it some time! ""Yes Lin Qisan quickly nodded and said, "I''ll send it to you after the meeting."
"What about the others?" Xiao Yao looks at other people.
Zhu Zitong and sun Tingting all shook their heads.
"Where are the bosses?" Xiao Yao looks at the executives of the company again.
"After our TV play was broadcast, the company received some scripts, and some companies and independent producers expressed their intention to cooperate with us." "We''ve done some preliminary screening," said one high-tech pipeline
"Those who want to cooperate and have a script can think about it. Those who don''t have a script can wait until they have a script." Xiao Yao said, "you screened out the script, take it out and have a look!"
"Mr. Xiao, of course, it''s no problem to read the script," the high channel said, "but there are several copies here, and we may not be able to read them all in the evening. What''s more, now you have identified several projects to be done next year, and none of these projects has been evaluated for production cost, and neither have these scripts been evaluated for production cost. At present, only one of our three projects is profitable, and two films have not been released. I don''t know what the specific situation is. We plan too many projects. Are we going too far? What''s more, at present, the company does not have the personnel and ability to operate several projects at the same time. "
"So it is Xiao Yao thought about it, nodded and said, "it seems that this day to determine the work plan for the next year is not very realistic."
"Well, I''ll take the script first." Xiao Yao said, "for the projects we discussed today, we should make a budget evaluation of the production cost as soon as possible. These projects are definitely of high priority. After two films are released at the beginning of the new year, the box office results come out and the income can be calculated, we will consider whether to open other projects according to the specific situation. "
Seeing Xiao Yao''s advice, several senior executives here were slightly relieved.
In fact, in terms of the company''s current financial situation, it is not a problem to open a few more projects. The most important thing is that the first project is to make money, while the latter two projects are not high in cost, and the chance to make money is not small. But what the executives fear is that Xiao Yao, a young man who seems to have had no setbacks since his debut, is blindly confident and recklessly spreading his stall too large.
Xiao Yao also has shares in other companies, a studio at home, and several other young shareholders, most of whom are well-off at home. Even if several projects will lose money next year, several senior executives will not worry that the company will go bankrupt next year, but their psychological impact and the impact on the company''s employees will not be small.
"Anything else?" Xiao Yao looks at humanity.
"According to several project plans that President Xiao has determined," a high channel said, "in addition to the company signing its own production, director and screenwriter, other departments may also need to increase some staff accordingly."
"No problem, let''s do it!" Xiao Yao said, "the leaders of your departments should discuss with the personnel department, make their own plans and make up their minds, so they don''t have to discuss with us any more."
"OK, Mr. Xiao!" Several executives nodded, "nothing else!"
"Well, that''s the end of today''s meeting! Thank you for your hard work Xiao Yao stood up and said.
Xiao Yao, this is to announce the end of the meeting. Several senior executives said hello, got up to pack their things and left the conference room.
Lin Qisan didn''t leave. He grabbed Xiao Yao and asked, "August 1, I think the character of sister Yin Xi in your script outline has a younger brother who is about the age of the hero. Do you think it''s suitable for me?"
"Do you want to take part in the play of sister Xi and me?" Xiao Yao asked unexpectedly.
"Well!" Lin Qisan nodded.
"I''m also interested. If I have a suitable role, I''ll be given one!" Zhao Rui also smiles to gather to come over a way.
"I say you two," Xiao Yao said with a bitter smile, "can''t you find a book to act? Why do you come to me? "
"I just want to play with sister Xi!" Lin Qisan.
"Like you, I haven''t played in a city idol drama before. I want to try what it''s like!" Zhao ruidao.
"And you?" Xiao Yao looks at the others.
"I don''t know how to act, but if the time doesn''t conflict, I don''t mind a guest role." Zhou Zhihao took the lead in raising his hand with a smile.
"We also want to play together, regardless of the size of the role, how many parts of the play, you see the arrangement." Both Zhu Zitong and Nina said.
"I won''t!" Sun Tingting smiles and shakes her head. "I''m afraid that if I''m present, you''ll be embarrassed when you and Xi shoot intimate scenes, so I won''t get involved this time!"
"Yes Xiao Yao thought for a moment, "but in addition to the Dragon role required by Haozi, you others will read the script and choose your favorite role to participate in the audition after the script is finished. If you pass the audition, you go up. If you don''t pass, you stop thinking. I don''t open the back door here. "
"Che ~" Lin Qisan said, "with our appearance, acting skills and fame, the leading men and women in idol drama are more than enough, and they can''t pass the audition of a supporting role in idol drama? Need you to open the back door? "
"This time you''re not the producer, the director, the writer. There''s someone else who''s the producer and the director." Zhao Rui also said, "as long as you don''t deliberately obstruct as a producer, I don''t worry that we''ll fail the audition."
