Chapter 280 Please give me more advice for the rest of my life
A few days later, Lu Sijia reported that there was a good script and she planned to buy it. The price was not expensive, and the other party only wanted 180,000. If there is a counteroffer, it can be lowered a bit.
Chen Feng came over to take a look out of curiosity. It is an urban love drama with not many words, only 20,000 to 300,000 words.
The content of the script is very simple. It tells the story of a junior female student who was hospitalized because of her father's cancer, and then met and fell in love with her father's chief surgeon. Of course, love triangles and love triangles are also indispensable, and content and scenes that everyone likes to see are included.
The content of this story is relatively mediocre and not very novel. Chen Feng spent more than an hour reading from beginning to end at a glance. I really didn’t realize how outstanding this script was.
However, of course he was a layman in terms of scripts and film and television production, so he asked Lu Sijia if he was very optimistic about the script. Lu Sijia gave an affirmative answer, and Chen Feng didn't hesitate anymore and immediately said that he would buy it. As for whether to start a project Production needs to be decided after collective discussion.
Lu Sijia moved very quickly. The next day, he spent 150,000 to buy the script called "Please give me your advice for the rest of my life", and then immediately started the project of the TV series.
To this end, several senior executives of the company held a project establishment meeting. The boss Chen Feng and the consultant Zhao Guoqing were also present. In addition, managers and above also participated.
Although the financial manager, administrative and human resources manager, and publicity manager are not professional counterparts, the three stooges are comparable to Zhuge Liang, and they are all manager-level, so we still need to have more of them. Participatory.
“Everyone should have read the script, and each of you should share your opinions.”
Although Chen Feng was sitting at the main table, the meeting was chaired by Lu Sijia, the general manager. She spoke first and directly discussed the topic of the meeting.
Liu Ying first asked: "What is the budget for this project?"
Lu Sijia said: "The project has not been approved yet, and of course there is no budget. After the project is successfully approved, Only then can we estimate the budget and make a budget table."
Liu Ying frowned and asked, "You initiated this project. You should have an idea of the approximate budget. If the budget is too big. , I suggest giving up this project. Our company has just been established and we cannot invest too much money in the first project."
Wu Mengting also said: "It is really not appropriate to invest too much money in our company's first film and television project. I'm personally quite optimistic about "Please Advice for the Rest of My Life" because it's an urban drama, so as long as it doesn't hire too famous celebrities, it shouldn't cost much money."
Lu Sijia nodded and said, "That's right. Director Chen told me before that the cost of the first TV series produced by our company was controlled within 10 million. Therefore, I chose this one among many scripts. Because I only read the script, There are no big scenes in this urban drama, Fu Huadao , scenery, etc., don’t cost much. As for the actors, the leading actors must be selected from our company first, and there is no need to hire high-paying actors for some unimportant roles, so the production cost can be controlled within 10 million.”
Sun Xiaorui said: " I read the script yesterday and I think it's very good, very touching and sweet. The male protagonist is cold-hearted and very warm, and he is also a young and handsome doctor. From the perspective of an ordinary female audience, I would also agree. I like this kind of male protagonist doctor, of course, who plays the male protagonist. Actors must be handsome, and acting skills are of course also an assessment factor. I think the two young male artists in our company are quite suitable based on their appearance."
"What do you mean? Do you agree to the project?" Lu Sijia asked Sun Xiaorui.
"Of course. I think if this drama can be filmed well, it has the potential to be popular."
"What do the others mean?" Lu Sijia looked at the others again.
Human Resources and Administration Manager Xu Haixia followed up and said: "I also agree with the establishment of the project."
As soon as she spoke, the two managers of the Propaganda Department and the Planning Department also spoke in agreement.
"Although I am not very optimistic about this drama, it does not require much investment after all. We can give it a try." Wu Mengting agreed without any surprise.
Hu Rui also said: "The advantage of this drama is that the cost is not high. We can give it a try. In addition, the company must give priority to our artists to star."
Finally, except for Chen Feng Except for Liu Ying and Zhao Guoqing, only Liu Ying and Zhao Guoqing did not express their opinions. Everyone looked at them.
Liu Ying was the first to speak: "I think it is best to control the cost of this drama within five million. If it exceeds, it will be a bit risky."
Lu Sijia couldn't help but frown slightly after hearing this, but she didn't say anything. , just turned to Zhao Guoqing and asked: "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean?"
Zhao Guoqing is undoubtedly the most qualified here. After all, he has been working in movies for decades and as a director for 20 or 30 years. Acted in many film and television dramas.
Zhao Guoqing slowly said: "To be honest, the quality of this script is not very high. Of course, it cannot be said to be very bad. It can only be said to be on the passing line. You bought it for 150,000 yuan. I can’t say it’s expensive, it’s the market price. As for making it into a TV series, there is definitely a certain risk. Of course, no one can guarantee that it will make money before the movie and TV series are released and sold. We can only try to reduce this risk as much as possible.
If this TV series wants to be carefully produced, even if it does not hire stars with higher salaries, it will have to invest at least 10 million, otherwise the pictures will be produced. , There are definitely some unsatisfactory aspects in terms of persuasion, but do we really want to risk investing 10 million or more to make this seemingly mediocre urban drama?
I think we should be more cautious and at least look at some other scripts before making a decision. Of course, if Mr. Lu insists on filming, in order to reduce risks, we can bring in additional investors to share the risks with us. "
After listening to Mr. Zhao's words, Lu Sijia said: "Okay, since everyone has expressed their opinions, I will also express my own opinions. There are two reasons why I am optimistic about this drama. The first point is that there are currently relatively few urban love dramas of this type on the market, but there was a similar TV drama that became a big hit last year. You should have seen it, called "Dear" "You" has achieved very good ratings and a very high yield; the second point is that the cost of this drama is relatively low. I have preliminary calculated before that the maximum budget is 8 million. So, I think our company can produce this show independently and get off to a good start. Of course, it is up to the boss to decide whether the project can be approved in the end. "
After Lu Sijia finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Chen Feng, who was in the center.
Facing the attention of everyone, Chen Feng was very calm. He had gone through several times before. With years of experience in the workplace, and he is now the boss of the company, he is even more confident.
However, he did not act like a boss or try to show off, and said very directly: "I support the establishment of the project. Since the establishment of Fengmang Film and Television, we must produce our own film and television works as soon as possible, otherwise our company will have no meaning in existence. As for the risks, they are definitely there, but I believe in Sister Lu’s vision. Therefore, the risk is worth taking. I can invest 10 million in funds, and the production must be excellent. If it is not enough by then, I can consider adding more. But the first thing to ensure is that the quality is good.
This project is solely in the hands of Sister Lu. If you, Uncle Zhao, are interested, you can have the title of art director on this project. Mengting, you will serve as the financial director of this project. Sister Lu, the joint planning department must make one as soon as possible. After the planning document is released, the joint finance department will prepare a budget table.
Okay, the next focus of everyone’s work is to complete this project, and the whole company must work together to do it. This is our company's first official project, so we must do it well and make it a hit. ”
After hearing this, everyone cheered up and nodded in agreement. Indeed, as Chen Feng said, this is the company’s first project and must be done well. This is related to the company’s future development and prospects. Everyone’s vital interests cannot be ignored.
After the meeting, Chen Feng and Lu Sijia stayed alone.
“Thank you for your trust, boss. Originally, I thought you had concerns. ”
Lu Sijia was the first to speak. She was a little touched that Chen Feng trusted her so much. Especially since Chen Feng had told her before that the script suited his taste and seemed tasteless. In the end, he didn't expect Chen Feng to support him so much.
"Although I don't like this script very much, I am not a professional after all. And you are the professional. Since I have chosen you as the general manager of the company, I must give you enough Let’s start with this TV series.”
“Okay, boss, I will definitely live up to your trust,” Lu Sijia promised with a serious look.
Chen Feng said with a smile: "Don't be so serious. I will leave you here to talk to you alone. The main purpose is to tell you my suggestions for the male and female protagonists. If nothing unexpected happens, the male protagonist will choose Gong Yi, and the female protagonist will choose Gong Yi. The protagonist Luo Yingying. These two people will be favored by our company in the future, and the other three will be behind, especially the king. Shujuan, the contract will expire in a few months. If she wants to leave, let her go. Also, although our company does not need some additional artists at the moment, if we find some good talents and good candidates, Don’t hesitate to sign it. Please communicate with Hu Rui about this.”
"Okay, boss." Lu Sijia agreed quickly.
After Chen Feng chatted with her for a while about some company matters, he ended his private conversation with her.
He really trusts Lu Sijia now. The main reason is very simple, that is, he believes in his luck.
Since God made him lucky enough to find her as the general manager of the company, then she will definitely not let him down.
This is not because he has confidence in himself or Lu Sijia, but because he has confidence in God's luck.
After the meeting, Chen Feng no longer planned to stay in the company.
After coming out of the conference room and walking through the public office area, the employees in the company stood up and greeted him respectfully.
Chen Feng also nodded to them with a friendly smile.
When he used to work, he was like this, but he didn't expect that his identity would change so quickly.
Chen Feng didn't feel uncomfortable with this. There are different situations at different stages of life. Just face them calmly and don't be happy with things or sad with yourself.
Although he is only thirty years old, he has experienced life and death, and his mentality has become similar to that of a seventh-year-old or eighty-year-old. Coupled with the fact that he is rich, his demeanor and temperament have naturally improved.
Chen Feng walked out of the company with a relaxed expression. It was almost ten o'clock in the morning. He was not in a hurry to go back, so he left the China World Trade Center and walked towards the East Lake.
Guomao Building is not far from East Lake, but East Lake is very large and there are many business circles along the lake. It is also a ten-minute drive from Hongshu Bay.
Chen Feng hasn’t been here much before, but the scenery along the lake is also very beautiful, so I decided to take a stroll. The only fly in the ointment is that there is no beautiful woman accompanying him at this time. The three women with whom he has a close relationship are all working for him in the company at this time.
In this way, it is rare for me to be single temporarily, but I feel relaxed and unrestrained.
Chen Feng walked all the way to the East Lake with a happy and relaxed mood, looking at the scenery along the lake, watching the pedestrians and tourists coming and going, chatting and laughing. Even though it was a cloudy day, it still made him feel the beauty of the world.
......
About ten minutes ago, Yang Wenqi was interviewing for the position of media editor at Fengmang Film and Television. The salary was upwards of 6,000, as well as five insurances and one housing fund, and most importantly, meal subsidies. And wrapping, this is what she needs most at the moment, and it is also relatively professional.
She is majoring in radio and television. She originally planned to be a host. After all, she is so pretty, which gives her a great advantage. Unfortunately, her grades in professional courses are average, and her grades in four years of college are not very good. Well, I barely graduated in the end.
Of course, if she is willing to sacrifice a little of her beauty and wants to find an internship at a TV station or something, it will be easier. But she is not the kind of superficial and short-sighted woman. She has always protected herself very well. Of course, she cannot betray herself just because of a mere internship opportunity.
She repeatedly rejected the "help" of men who had always coveted her beauty. In the end, she could only keep interviewing for jobs that were slightly related to her major, and at the same time, she had to avoid being exposed to unspoken rules or even direct rape.
In this way, it has been two or three months since she got her diploma, but her job has not yet been found.
What made her worse was that her father's company went bankrupt and disappeared. As a housewife, her mother could only hide in her parents' house and cry every day. She suddenly lost the financial support from her family, and she has been living with her family since she was a child. Her second uncle who loves her cares about her and occasionally provides her with living expenses. Otherwise, she would not even have basic living expenses.
Several times, she almost gave up her integrity and found a rich second generation, such as those who had chased her in school. She could choose one of them that looked pleasing to her eyes, and then Fall in love with him, and then you will have no worries about food and clothing.
But in the end she persisted, because she knew what her most valuable asset as a beautiful woman was. Even if she wanted to sell it, she couldn’t just find a second-generation rich man and sell it cheaply. Find a good buyer who can afford a high price.
In fact, while she is looking for a job these days, she is also silently waiting for a possible good buyer to appear.
For example, the Lyman Cafe where Chen Feng met her last time was a place she went to every now and then. The purpose of her going there was not to actually drink coffee, but to imitate Jiang Taigong in fishing, and those who wished would take the bait.
