Chapter 364 Watching the Director Order the Food

"Due to the market's love for high-end figurines, the figurine factory's revenue this month is pretty good, close to 5000 million, mainly from Terminator and Sadako figurines."

"The theater chain just started operating in April, and at present, the income and expenditure are balanced."

"In addition to the company's expenditure on personnel salaries, our investment allocation for "Star Wars" and "Sadako 2" has also been transferred out. The company's current account balance is about 12.4 billion."

Chen Fan was startled.
"Star Wars and Ring Part [-] are both starting?"

Lin Zixuan nodded,

"Mr. Chen, the crew of "Star Wars" is ready. Luka said that the filming will start after May Day."

"Director Aya also means to start filming "Midnight Bell 2" after May Day. She has already decided on the starring candidates for this drama. The filming location is still in Furuya City. She is just waiting for the promotion of "The Grudge" in the past few days. Finish."

I'm very anxious.

Chen Fan liked such a director, and motioned Lin Zixuan to continue talking about the situation of the film and television department.

"Early this morning, "The Grudge" has been released nationwide. At present, the box office is average, but the reputation is good. When Mr. Chen is free, you can read the reviews on the film and television network. This movie has become a paradise for horror lovers. .”

"'I Am Dashan' is waiting for Shana's premiere, and other film and television projects that are currently filming include 'Truy to School', 'Three Idiots' and 'Resident Evil'."

"The ones that are ready to go are Star Wars and Ring 2."

"Director Yan's "Iron Man" is still in preparation and is currently auditioning actors."

"The one that has been completed recently is the movie "Blue Life and Death" that you shot, boss."

Chen Fan nodded, he thought about it in his heart, and suddenly understood,

"So, Sheng Tang has a total of six crews to be busy in the future, and three crews are free?"

Lin Zixuan shook his head,
"In fact, there are four crews that are vacant. In the past month or so, we have recruited another crew. This crew is purely preparing for "Iron Man."

"Preparing for "Iron Man"? Are the crew members all crooked nuts?"

Chen Fan thought about the script he had shared with Lin Zixuan, Yanhong and the others before. They all knew that this was a movie with a Western protagonist, and even the filming location and scenery had to go to Eagle Country or Europa.

I also mentioned to them that the crew members used for filming abroad can be mainly Wai Guoren. After all, when shooting abroad, there will definitely be a lot of troubles. Wai Guoren will know more about some customs and habits.

In addition, he had previously told Lin Zixuan to continue recruiting the crew, so he simply recruited the crew composed of crooked nuts in advance?

Lin Zixuan laughed,
"Mr. Chen, in fact, we took over this crew from MGM. When they were at their peak, they had thirteen crews. They have been decadent in the past two years, and now they are facing bankruptcy before being acquired by Nangong Group."

"But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. When Nangong Group acquired it, MGM still had eight crews."

"Today's MGM is waiting for success, people's hearts are fluctuating, and the company has more crews, so there will inevitably be conflicts, so they have started a strategy of streamlining talents."

"We have always been in contact with them. When we heard their idea, we directly proposed to them the idea of ​​accepting the crew."

Streamline mechanism?

Chen Fan felt that MGM really wanted to do this.

The last time he took Luka and Nangong Shiyue to the MGM headquarters, he stayed there for three or four days, and he felt that MGM's internal friction was too serious.

In addition, Nangong Group had just taken over MGM, and many Westerners did not have much confidence in MGM. Their recruitment of screenwriters and film and television work were actually not smooth.

The solution to internal friction, besides increasing external business, is to streamline internal personnel.

When the external business is not yet mature, streamlining has become a necessary step, otherwise the company will continue to be chaotic with limited resources.

"Okay, you continue to negotiate with MGM. If they still plan to downsize their staff, we in Tang Dynasty will need them all, whether they are crew members, artists, or other talents related to film and television dramas."

Lin Zixuan nodded. He had already figured out what Chen Fan was thinking, and with Sheng Tang's healthy development, he had been in contact with MGM all the time.

Chen Fan thought for a while, and then said:

"So, in the second half of the year, we will have at least four more idle crews, but our company doesn't have so many directors and actors."

"Well, I'll give Ning Fan a copy later, and then the company will keep an eye on well-known directors in the market to see if they are unemployed at home."

"The films we are currently producing cover dramas, comedies, horror films, science fiction films, action films and special effects blockbusters."

"You should pay attention to see if there are directors who are good at shooting suspense and fantasy styles who are available. You can invite them to come to our place to discuss."

"Your film and television department should also pay attention to the new directors in the film industry. Those who have potential but have not invested in them can all be brought over to communicate with them."

"The rest of the film and television dramas, let's watch the director order!"

Lin Zixuan was shocked. In the past, when looking for a director based on the film, the options were limited. Now, looking for an excellent director first, the work in turn will definitely be much easier.

After seeing Lin Zixuan understand, Chen Fan turned his attention to Cai Rujun.

"Minister Cai, the editing of "Blue Life and Death" will start in a few days, and I will ask the editing department to cut a promotional video first, and then I will trouble you to discuss with the TV station."

"As for the price, it's up to your TV drama department to set the price based on market conditions."

Cai Rujun looked excited, and after resting for years, he is finally alive.

"Alright Mr. Chen, just leave this TV series to me!"

But he knows that the current signboard of Shengtang is very resounding in all David TV.

All major TV stations are eagerly waiting for "Emperor of Han Dynasty 2".

Although "Emperor of Han Dynasty 2" has not yet been produced, "Blue Life and Death" produced by Shengtang will definitely interest them.

After all, this drama is a love affair between actor Chen Fan and actress Nangong Shiyue, and it is also Nangong Shiyue's first TV series.

Before the filming of the TV series started, Cai Rujun had already thought of a series of gimmicks.

Chen Fan is not worried about TV dramas. He himself has been touched by this drama before, and he must be able to touch many fans of Dragon Kingdom.

Coupled with the appeal of himself and Nangong Shiyue, Ye Zhen also has huge traffic in the TV drama industry, and there will definitely be no problem in selling this drama at a price that pays for itself.

After thinking about it, he added a sentence,

"Try to focus on sharing the ratings, and you can even increase the guaranteed ratings a little. Your department will discuss this before discussing it."

Chen Fan finally turned his attention to Zhang Ming.

He remembered that this month should be Girls' Generation's debut month, right?

For this combination, Chen Fan had high hopes. In his heart, he even wanted to see if such a combination could hit the international market.
