Chapter 289 Goal: The most important business card
Generally speaking, the script of the first part is already very well written.
Chen Linfeng didn’t make any further comments on the plot, but only talked about the special effects.
"The special effects of this drama are very important. Uncle Yu, how much budget have you prepared?"
Yu Shengming put away the script first, and then poured a cup of tea for Chen Linfeng.
"The current preparation is 50 million, which is about the same as when you filmed "Star You" the year before last."
Chen Linfeng nodded and drank the tea.
“This budget is okay.”
At that time, he mainly spent the money on costumes and props, as well as some labor and equipment costs.
The cost of special effects is actually not much.
But if it’s just special effects for TV series, it doesn’t actually cost much money.
Excluding remuneration, labor and other expenses, the special effects cost is more than 30 million, which is more than enough.
It is possible to achieve special effects that exceed the audience’s expectations.
You know, in the previous life, "The Prequel of the Lotus Lantern" only cost 6 million.
Because this film was a rare film and television loan case, Chen Linfeng had seen the news.
The rest of this life is obviously a great guide, but the cards are different.
And needless to say, the special effects company I opened this year can definitely join in the special effects business.
In the early days, I worked as a wage earner and practiced my skills.
At the same time, in the second part and the "Prequel to the Lotus Lantern".
As a leading special effects company, we can develop special effects software and corresponding materials for domestic mythological dramas.
Western magic or science fiction special effects cannot be directly used as special effects for domestic mythological dramas. The difference in style is too big.
Forget about pure bad movies like "Legend of the Gods", even "The Legend of the Gods" is full of Western special effects, and the sense of inconsistency is obvious.
This piece of content was missing until later generations.
This requires Chen Linfeng’s help to complete it.
“But I have to emphasize it first,”
Chen Linfeng said seriously, "After the investment, Long Lin will send producers and other personnel to verify the expenses. The money must be used as much as possible in production."
Yu Shengming was stunned after hearing this, and the atmosphere was tense for a while. There was some silence.
Then he said helplessly, "Okay, I'll do whatever you want."
Chen Linfeng smiled brightly, "I am also making ugly remarks in front of you. I know who Uncle Yu is very well. The main reason is that I am afraid that someone will reach out randomly.
I understand some normal industry practices. There will definitely be redundancy, but it can't be too much. After all, everyone's goal is to make the show well. ”
Yu Shengming said angrily, "Who dares to steal your money from Xiao Chen? We all know that you are not easy to mess with."
But he didn't explain why he hesitated just now.
Chen Linfeng knew that Yu Shengming's status in this life was different, so he might be worried about his reputation.
However, as a director born in Hong Kong Island, he still has to prevent tens of thousands of dollars from buying a hat.
Things have almost been discussed. Chen Linfeng is quite satisfied with the new book. He is looking forward to whether the finished product will be a surprise when it is released in the future.
Now he is looking forward to a different development from his previous life.
Of course, it must be a good development.
For this script, because Chen Linfeng was also fully involved in writing the script, there is still a signature, but not as the lead.
Same as "Lotus Lantern", nine years later.
It is worth mentioning that, up to now, Long Lin has occupied a considerable part of the series of copyrights from "Second Story" to "Lotus Lantern" as his investment has increased.
According to the agreement, the proportion will continue to increase in the future, including "Magic Phone" and "Baolian Lantern Prequel". The copyright obtained will even exceed that of CCTV.
This is one of the reasons why Chen Linfeng attaches great importance to this.
I always pay more attention to my own products.
In terms of follow-up production, Chen Shan Tong Lai is mainly responsible for keeping an eye on it.
Long Lin has put a lot of effort into serving the Tao, and has been praised in recent dramas.
This ensures that the new version of "Magic Phone" will not have the same rural style as the urban-rural fringe of the original game in its previous life.
Chen Linfeng is relatively relieved about this.
After coming out of Yu Shengming's house, he visited several more houses and finally came to Tie's house.
He visits this place almost twice a year, once before the Spring Festival and once during the Dragon Boat Festival or National Conditions.
Because the official power is too strong, I usually don’t like to come.
When Mr. Tie saw Chen Linfeng coming to the door, he hurriedly waved and said, "Xiao Chen is here, sit down first."
She was about to stand up to pour tea when her husband, Professor Hua, stood up.
"I'll go."
Chen Linfeng sat down steadily, and soon tea was placed in front of him.
“Thank you, Uncle Hua.”
Professor Hua hurriedly waved his hand, "No, I'm looking forward to your arrival."
He couldn't wait to ask his wife before she could speak.
"I heard that you have made great achievements in the stock market. Can you tell me how you came up with the idea of investing in NetEase?
I remember that at that time, few people in China were optimistic about the Internet. Nasdaq The incident scared everyone.”
Chen Linfeng was speechless.
This is a professor of economics and management, so he fits the bill. When we met before, it was still like meeting a stranger, nodding and saying a few words at most.
Who knew things would change this time I came to the door.
Mr. Tie said angrily, "Go, Xiao Chen finally came to your door. Are you talking about these things?"
"It's okay, it's not a chat anyway."
Chen Linfeng waved his hand and said, "Actually, I didn't have any special ideas. At that time, I just felt that the domestic market was so big, and NetEase, as one of the well-known domestic Internet companies, would not have such a low stock price.
In fact, at that time, Sina, Penguin, etc. After I looked at the stock prices of several Internet companies, NetEase was the worst, so I invested in it."
"Then you are willing to invest all your money in one of them, isn't it generally a diversified investment? "Professor Hua asked.
“I only have the little money on hand. It’s useless to spread it out. It’s better to keep it with one family.”
Chen Linfeng explained that the agreement he had with his parents back then stated that he would use overseas funds. If you invest your money, you won't lose anything even if you lose everything.
"So there are still choices, those who can withstand failure, and those with more resources inherently have more development opportunities than ordinary people."
Chen Linfeng concluded.
Mr. Tie sighed with emotion, "This makes sense. It's still difficult for ordinary people."
After saying that, she glared at her husband and said, "I've cleared up your doubts, so don't Asked, we are not chatting with you to talk about academic topics."
Professor Hua shut up regretfully, he still wanted to ask about Meiliguo's Facebook.
The next topic was mainly discussed by Mr. Tie.
She asked about Chen Linfeng's current situation, focusing on understanding the before and after of "Star You", including his experience in promoting abroad.
“The impact of your play is not small, and the comrades in the cultural and creative department are all very appreciative of it. I have held several meetings here and also talked about the issue of new forms of cultural and creative works in the new era.”
"Thank you leaders for your care and love." Chen Linfeng said with a smile.
“You are good enough. Back then, Mr. Ba asked me to take care of you. Now that you have developed in the film and television industry, and also in literature abroad, I can’t help you.< br>
By the way, at this point I have to talk about you. "
Mr. Tie said in a scolding tone, "You kid has a good heart, everyone can see it, but you don't know how to take the initiative to move closer to the organization.
If I hadn’t mentioned something this time and asked several associations to take the initiative to contact you, would you still be ready to immerse yourself in your own work?
This is not possible. If you want to develop better, you still need to be more ZZ aware. "
" Let me tell you, it turns out that these associations suddenly invited me recently, all because of you. ”
Chen Linfeng suddenly realized, "Thank you Auntie Tie for your attention. I had ignored it a little before."
Mr. Tie shook his head, "Not entirely. I only mentioned some associations under the Literary and Art Association, and the others should be I thought it was a good time, so I went along.”
Since Mr. Tie has spoken, other associations will also wait and see what happens.
Chen Linfeng cursed in his heart.
But when it came to these associations, he had a question and he had to ask it.
"Auntie Tie, you are in charge of the overall situation. I wonder if you know why the evaluation time for several domestic awards has been changed from one year to two years?"
"You also think there is a problem? "Mr. Tie asked.
“I don’t know why.” Chen Linfeng spread his hands.
“This year’s awards may only be based on works from the previous year, so what’s the point.
Furthermore, the review is done every two years. The more works you create, the more people you hope will win. There are only so many awards, so we can only adopt the principle of no-choice awards. Those who have won the award know that they have no share in it, and they don’t want to participate.
In addition, if the organizers want to achieve balance, they can only do double-yolked eggs. Once the number is too high, the authority will be lost.
Originally, the Golden Horse Award did not have much advantage in the last century. It was our Golden Rooster that was held back, which made it more and more recognized now. "
"What you said is exactly right. ”
Mr. Tie said in deep thought, with some approval in his heart.
As for the golden horse part, she would not comment. The previous points have now caused obvious problems.< br>
Just as she spoke, her tone became a bit stern.
“But is this why you didn’t participate in the Golden Rooster Award at the end of last year? When I asked several comrades from the Literary and Art Association to invite me to join the association, they complained.”
Chen Linfeng felt aggrieved. "I knew before I went that I wouldn't be able to win any big prizes. This is why I think the Golden Rooster Award is not very good. Don't let the news out at any time. Only when people think they have hope can they go and support it."
"Speaking of which Go ahead, you have the biggest opinion." Mr. Tie said angrily.
"Okay, now, I will no longer hold a position in the Cultural Association this year. I can't take care of this matter for the time being. It's useless for you to tell me."
"This is not just a casual chat, and I didn't say what must be done now."
Mr. Tie nodded, "This is not something that can be perfected in a short time. As the organizer of the Golden Rooster, no matter it is Both the Chinese Film and Television Association and the Literary and Art Association want to achieve this award.
But it’s complicated and difficult to start from above, because there are too many voices, and leaders must consider all aspects.
If you really want to do something, start from below. As long as you have enough voice and your reputation as Xiao Chen, after a few years, there is hope.”
Of course, there is a subtext. She must get to that position first, otherwise nothing can be accomplished without the support of the boss above.
"Can it be changed once every two years?"
"What are you thinking? It was a notice issued by Wenxuan, and it will definitely be more difficult to handle." Mr. Tie rolled his eyes in a rare move.
“Unless you really become the most important business card in domestic and foreign cultural exhibitions, most of the people in the circle will follow your words and deeds.
Otherwise, don’t even think about passing through your own The force comes to push, and Comrade Wen Xuankou wants to be more realistic. "
"That's okay, I will just keep working hard," Chen Linfeng said with a serious expression.
Just doing copywriting is no longer difficult. It’s time to find something more difficult and meaningful to do.
Let’s set this as a temporary mid-term goal.
Mr. Tie glanced at him and said nothing.
With Xiao Chen’s current development speed, who can say for sure.
