fantasy blockbuster era

Chapter 83 Division of Labor and Cooperation (for further reading)

"Then what about this competition?"

Hearing what Guan Mingyuan said, Zhang Yang also had a headache.

If not.

The agreement between him and Guan Mingyuan is naturally void.

There are definitely no foreign channels, and Guan Mingyuan will definitely no longer be willing to support it with funds, resources, and personnel.

At that time, not only will he have to collect enough 30 billion, but he will also have to spend money to buy other things, which may not be available.

He has long planned to make a fantasy movie for his next project.

The filming of "Shading the Sky" is definitely going to be done, but without the support of Douyin, it will be a bit more difficult.

"Let's take a look first."

Guan Mingyuan was quite melancholy.

"You go back to Xuanyu first and wait for the news. I'll do some research. There should be results soon."

"clear."

Zhang Yang nodded.

Two days later.

The plane landed in Haihua.

Zhang Yang took Lin Xiaohan back to Xuanyu.

"Xiaohan, go and inform the directors of each department, the meeting will start in 20 minutes."

Back at the company, Zhang Yang is going to start the preparatory work for "Shading the Sky" immediately.

He has already obtained the full text of the novel "Shading the Sky" from the system, and it can be handed over to Li Xiaoqiang to adapt it into a script.

"Okay, Director Zhang."

On the plane, Lin Xiaohan already knew what he was thinking.

Even if Guan Mingyuan stopped shooting, Zhang Yang still decided to shoot, and the investment amount was still 30 billion.

So instead of waiting for the news, it is better to start taking action first.

Xuanyu still needs a lot of work to finish filming "Shading the Sky", so start and start shooting sooner.

20 minute later.

Large conference room.

The two sides of the oval conference table were already filled with more than a dozen directors of various departments of Xuanyu.

"Is everyone here?"

"kindness."

Lin Xiaohan responded in a low voice.

Zhang Yang sat at the top, Wang Fei sat next to him, and Lin Xiaohan sat on his right.

"Okay, now the meeting."

Knocking on the conference table twice, Zhang Yang glanced across the room, and a needle could be heard in the conference room.

"Dragon Snake 2 is about to reach its finale, but the company has not made a new filming plan for this year."

He is currently the only director within Xuanyu who is eligible to apply for funds to shoot works.

Because the establishment time is too short, and the funds he needs to shoot alone are enough to empty the company, so he has not yet established a director department, nor has he recruited other new directors.

"This time, I went to Imperial Capital to negotiate a new round of cooperation with Xigua Video. Next, the company will work hard to tackle the next new project.

Movie - "Shading the Sky".

The film is tentatively expected to be released in the 5.1 schedule.

Therefore, the time is very tight, everyone cheer up and listen to my arrangement carefully. "

Xuanyu was founded less than a year ago, but after several rounds of continuous expansion, it has become a behemoth in Haihua City's film and television industry.

There are also a lot of talents in the company.

Xuanyu's performance exploded last year, and everyone had a good year.

This year everyone is already gearing up, waiting for Zhang Yang to announce new projects.

Now hearing that the new project is a movie, everyone is very excited.

"Is the company going to make a movie?"

"Our Xuan Entertainment is developing so well now, and we can't rely on TV series alone. Movies should really have a foot in the game."

"Before the Dragon Snake series invested so much, the company had a lot of liquidity. I don't know how much the movie is going to invest in."

"Mr. Zhang has always advocated large-scale production, and it will definitely not be lowered."

Executives chatted.

"Cough, be quiet."

Wang Fei put his fist on his mouth and coughed lightly.

It turned out that he followed Zhang Yang as an assistant director.

However, Zhang Yang has been taking the crew out of town for filming, and no one in the company suppressed him, so Zhang Yang simply put him in the company to manage various affairs.

The relationship between the two is very good, Wang Fei has a dividend, and the Dragon Snake series is very popular, and a large sum was distributed at the end of the year.

There is love and benefit, and Zhang Yang feels at ease with him.

Although Wang Fei is young, he has a high position and ability, and the people below are very convinced.

Now, he coughed lightly, and everyone fell silent instantly.

Zhang Yang was very satisfied, and continued: "For the project "Shading the Sky", it was originally planned that Xuanyu and Xigua will jointly invest 30 billion yuan for the filming, but there may be changes on the side of Xigua. If they withdraw the investment, we Xuanyu will Responsible for all funds."

As soon as he finished speaking, the director of the finance department immediately expressed his intention to speak.

"Go ahead."

Zhang Yang looked at her and nodded, indicating that she could start talking.

The director of the financial department is named Chang Fang, a strong woman in her 40s who used to work in another company. Zhang Yang hired her from a headhunter.

Originally, it was best to entrust the financial work to someone close to the boss.

But there are really no talents in this field around Zhang Yang.

Money is not the most important thing to him, and Chang Fang has a very strong working ability and a well-known character. When he hired people, the previous boss of the company was still reluctant to part with her, so Zhang Yang felt that it was better to leave it to this strong woman. feasible.

Facts have proved that Chang Fang has lived up to his expectations.

Since I joined the company, I have been able to handle the related work with ease, and everything is very reliable. There have been no omissions in the past six months.

"Mr. Zhang, the company doesn't have that much money in its account." Chang Fang stood up and said, "The money previously sold by Dragon Snake 2 has not been that much after spending this period of time."

Dragon Snake 2 actually got around 32 billion, but Xuanyu gave a large year-end bonus a year ago, staff salaries, equipment updates, recruiting staff, signing a few first season actors, plus some other bits and pieces Fees, this whole lot adds up to a lot of money.

Although there is still a lot of money in the account, it is indeed close to 30 billion.

Zhang Yang also knew it in his heart.

However, the progress bar for upgrading the system from level 2 to level 3 has increased a lot, and it is about to end.

At that time, the funds provided by the system will definitely be enough.

"I'll solve the funding problem, don't worry."

Zhang Yang thought for a while, and said, "Reserve 2 million in the account to meet the company's expenses, and invest the rest in "Shading the Sky"."

"clear."

Zhang Yang gave employees the impression that he was very rich in the company, so Chang Fang was not surprised to hear that he would spend money from other places.

"Xiaoqiang, you can start preparing the screenplay for Zhetian. This time is different from filming a TV series. I contacted you with a few screenwriters, and you bring the staff from the screenwriting department to study. However, you are studying. Those bad habits Don't learn. It's still the same as before, and being faithful to the original is my biggest request to you."

"Got it, Director Zhang."

Li Xiaoqiang nodded
He is much more lively and cheerful now than when we first met.

With the promotion of the position, the shy and shy look at the first meeting has become a thing of the past.

Moreover, he is now the director of Xuanyu's screenwriting department, and his income has also increased, and he is doing better than many of his classmates.

Therefore, Li Xiaoqiang is very grateful to Zhang Yang, and he can be said to obey Zhang Yang's request.

"Music that covers the sky, your music department can start preparing."

"Understood, Mr. Zhang."

The director of the music department said yes.

"This time, I ask your music department to make a few episodes that cover the sky. As for the theme song, I'd better go to King Hu."

The few songs that Hu Tianwang composed for Dragon Snake before have a beautiful melody, and the lyrics fit the theme. They are still very popular now, and they have been listed in the top ten of the major music platforms.

Xuanyu's music department doesn't have any great talents, and it's okay to be responsible for some episodes, but it's not up to that level to create a theme song for a movie.

It is best to find an outside singer to buy songs.

Not only does it have its own traffic, but its creative level is also there.

The melody of the episode of "Covering the Sky" Zhang Yang is going to hand over all the music department's responsibility to train them, and Zhang Yang will allocate a sum of money to allow them to ask for foreign aid.

"The art department can also start preparations."

""Covering the Sky" is a movie adapted from a fantasy novel. The scenes, costumes, props, and scenes of characters fighting in it are all different from the dragon and snake's national art. Your art department should study it carefully. Learn from the ancient characteristics of the Dragon Kingdom, draw conceptual sketches of all the characters and scenes that appear in it, and draw several more plans, at least three or more as alternatives, understand?"

The director of the art department is in his 50s and close to 60 years old. He used to be a teacher of a certain art academy in China. His level is very high and he has won many awards in art.

Later, there was an accident at home, and a lot of money was needed, and I kept wanting to mention the professor but failed to mention it, so Zhang Yang found out about the situation, helped him solve the problem, and recruited Xuanyu to be the director of the art department.

but.

The art department is relatively small, and he has less than [-] people, so the art work of the Dragon and Snake series can still be handled.

Now "Shading the Sky" is a blockbuster with special effects, and there are tens of thousands of concept drawings that need to be drawn. The boss Zhang Yang also asked for more than three plans, and the director's face collapsed instantly.

In addition, in addition to concept drawings, I also need to help the director group led by Zhang Yang draw the storyboard manuscripts used during shooting
With such a large workload, even if he brings fifty people to work 24 hours a day, he still can't finish it!

"Mr. Zhang. The art department can't do this task."

The director of the art department had a sad face. He was 5.60 years old, and he looked very pitiful looking at Zhang Yang.

"Don't worry, I understand your difficulties. In terms of manpower, you can write a report for me to sign, and then submit it to the personnel department to continue to expand enrollment. In addition, I remember you said that you have a student named Liang Bing who used to have very good grades. , and are good at painting fantasy-style works, right?”

Hearing the name Liang Bing, the director of the art department was very impressed.

This student has excellent grades and he likes him very much.

Moreover, Liang Bing was obsessed with fantasy novels when he was studying, and he incorporated this love into his own works. Often the things he drew were mysterious, magnificent, majestic, and full of fairy spirit, depicting scenes, characters, The fighting scenes are unique in art style.

Because of this, many of Liang Bing's paintings were bought by some physical book publishers and used as illustrations.

Zhang Yang heard from the director of the art department that Liang Ping is now working as an illustrator for a mobile game company. In addition, he has an account on Douyin and has published some works, attracting hundreds of thousands of fans.

Zhang Yang went to Douyin specifically to look up his account. After reading some of it, he thought it was very good.

Thinking of his experience again, I think this person can be hired to be a team leader in the art department.

Xuanyu's future works will definitely be fantasy dramas, and Liang Bing's style is very suitable.

In addition, the director is his teacher, and he has practiced for several years. As long as there are no problems, it is not impossible to take over the art department.

"You can contact him, if you are interested in joining the art department of Xuanyu Entertainment, as an art director for "Shading the Sky"."

"At the same time, give him a position as a team leader in the company's art department. If the painting is what I like, I can ask him to be your assistant."

"In addition, regarding the expansion of the art department, you should recruit more, at least 100, how about it?"

An art team of 150 people is enough for most works, but it is far from enough for a blockbuster movie like "Shading the Sky". Many special effects blockbuster art teams often have 4.5 hundred people.

However, many of the crew members were gathered together from various companies, and some temporary workers were added to get so many together.

Xuanyu maintains an art team of more than 100 people all year round, which is enough to handle most of the art work. If it is not enough, it is not a big problem to subcontract some unimportant ones.

"Okay, I'll call him later."

The art director is very happy.

He is a bit old, and he will soon reach the legal retirement age after working for a few more years.

I used to be a teacher in school, and my job was relatively easy.

But after being dug into Xuanyu by Zhang Yang, the intensity of work has been increasing, and there is no leisure time before.

Hearing Zhang Yang say this now, he immediately became happy.

The art department has more staff and can have his own proud disciples at his beck and call, so the work feels a lot easier.

"Mr. Wang, how is the special effects department doing these days?"

After arranging the work of the art department, Zhang Yang turned to look at Wang Fei.

Xuanyu's special effects department doesn't have much talent, and it was just established after the Dragon and Snake series was filmed.

Wang Fei is now temporarily serving as the director of the special effects department.

In the past, under the arrangement of Zhang Yang, the special effects department took over special effects work for some low-cost online dramas and online movies. I don’t know if the ability has improved now.

If possible, he plans to divide the special effects work of "Shading the Sky" into some less difficult parts and hand them over to the special effects department.

"It's not bad. I have watched several online dramas and they all said they were good. After the release, the audience feedback is also good."

"Well, you have to arrest the special effects department. I will arrange some less difficult tasks for the special effects department for "Shading the Sky". In addition, you have to contact a few more special effects companies. The workload of "Shading the Sky" is very heavy. It’s so huge that Rhea’s side can’t eat it, and it will definitely take several companies to work together to complete the project.”

"Well, I understand."

Wang Fei nodded.

The two of them are not only superiors but also brothers.

And they all have the same ideal, so Zhang Yang is very relieved of him.

Seeing that he agreed, Zhang Yang stopped talking and asked Lin Xiaohan instead.

"This film company has invested 30 billion yuan, and the casting work is also a major focus. This part of the training department must be grasped."

The training department has also just been established.

Mainly responsible for training, contract signing, scouting and other work.

This task is very important to a well-rounded film and television company like Xuanyu, so Zhang Yang handed him over to Lin Xiaohan.

Lin Xiaohan is not only in charge of all the secretaries, but also the director of the training department.

She is very familiar with the affairs of the training department.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, as soon as the screenwriting department's script comes out, I'll start casting the cast immediately."

"In addition, I will send a notice to the contracted actors of the company later, asking them to prepare for the audition."

The training department now has a group of trainees, and has also signed a lot of actors with acting skills but not well-known, plus those from Dragon Snake 1.

There are about 100 actors, agents, and trainers in total, and they belong to one of Xuanyu's departments with a large number of people.

Lin Xiaohan's training department now has a group of professionals responsible for casting and auditions, and Xuanyu has become very famous with the popularity of the Dragon and Snake series.

During the filming of "Shading the Sky", unless there are special circumstances, there is no need to advertise and audition amateur actors online as when we first started.

……

The relevant preparatory meeting went on for several hours, and finally Zhang Yang remembered another one when he was about to adjourn the meeting.

He patted the table, attracted everyone's attention, and said solemnly: "Finally, I would like to emphasize that everyone in the company must read the novel Zhetian quickly after the meeting, so that they can know it well and do it well. live."

"Do you understand?"

Everyone: "Got it!"

Fortune: "Woof!"

"Dismiss!"
