"Now, please invite Mr. Kang Qizu, the president of Xiyangyang Film and Television Company, and Miss Tang Guomin, the general manager, to unveil the brand and cut the ribbon."
As soon as Azu woke up that day, he went to Kang Qirui to talk about opening the film and television company. Of course, Kang Qirui was No problem. In the previous life, Xi Yangyang was still open until 2024, which shows that Azu and the others are indeed capable of running a film and television company.
It’s just that Kang Qirui believes that Azu’s current management experience is very shallow and not enough to support a company. Therefore, his condition is to let Azu bring Miss Tang back to manage the company with him. With Miss Tang, a person with rich management experience, to lead him, Kang Qirui can feel free to let them develop on their own.
This kind of dual-leadership system is actually commonplace in companies, and it is very balanced. As long as you don't go fishing together or remember to wear a helmet while fishing, it will be fine.
The shareholding structure of Xiyangyang Film and Television Company is still jointly funded by Kang Qirui and KS Investment Company, and then Azu and Miss Tang left shares to them as partners. When they can cash out depends on when they complete it. Corresponding performance.
After the unveiling and ribbon-cutting, Miss Tang said with a smile on her face, "I hope you will support us more in the future." Then she asked Ajun to take everyone to the restaurant opposite for dinner, while she and Azu took Kang Qirui to the office for a small meeting. .
"Arui, what's going on with the script you mentioned before?" Azu asked. Since that day they decided to open a film and television company, they split up. Azu was responsible for recruiting, applying for licenses and finding an office location, while Kang Qirui was responsible for writing the script for the company's first project.
Kang Qirui nodded, took out two folders from his briefcase and handed them to Azu and Miss Tang respectively, and said: "This is a script I wrote, and it is also the first movie our company will make. I am confident that it will become an instant hit. "
""Night·Club"?" Azu took the folder and opened it and there were two big words. He said doubtfully: "It will be an instant hit. There’s no need to make this kind of movie, right?”
Kang Qirui was speechless. He glanced at A Zu, “What is this kind of movie? It’s called a nightclub, not a nightclub. What are you thinking about?” ? Forget it, let’s read this story first. I’ll go to the bathroom and we’ll talk later.”
Azu and Miss Tang looked at each other, reading the script with different expressions, and both became interested as they read it. There are interlocking stories and countless light-hearted and clever "laughing moments". The two of them laughed out loud just reading the script. If it is made into a movie, they think it will be very popular.
"Night Club" tells a series of interlocking and thrilling and funny stories that happened to a group of urban people in a 24-hour supermarket one night. The film structure is similar to that of many overseas box office movies. Single time and space games that have been used, such as "Gas Station Attack" in South Korea, "Sleepless in the Supermarket" in the UK, etc.
"Arui, this script is very good. Miss Tang and I laughed out loud when we read the text just now." Azu praised Kang Qirui when he came back from going to the toilet. Miss Tang was The side also nodded fiercely.
"You, my dear, are also a professor of literature. Isn't it easy to write a movie script for you?" Kang Qirui sat down and continued: "You have also read this story, all in a convenience store. It can save a lot of money in terms of location. There are not many characters, and the total number of protagonists and supporting actors is only about 10, so the cost is relatively low, which is very suitable for a start-up company like ours.”
Azu and Miss Tang both nodded, and Kang Qirui continued: "Since you think there is no problem with this story, let's start the following work. As the general manager, Miss Tang is mainly responsible for attracting investment, finding venues, and applying for licenses. As the president, Azu is mainly responsible for finding directors, actors and photographers. Are there any problems?”
"Investment?" Miss Tang was stunned and said, "Kang Sheng, the cost of this movie is not high, do you still need to attract investment?"
"Ms. Tang, making movies is different from the foreign trade you used to do." Kang Qirui smiled and explained: "The most important thing for a movie to make money is whether it has resources. What resources? Film arrangement, promotion, etc. If you don't give others a share of the pie, how can others use their own resources to arrange films for you? Are you promoting it? "
Ms. Tang has not been the general manager for so many years. She understood immediately when she heard that it was nothing more than resources being more valuable than money, and investment was a means of profit-making.
After Miss Tang's problem was solved, it was Azu's turn to ask, "Do you have any plans for actors and directors?"
Of course Kang Qirui would like the original cast to be part of the cast, if possible. But the original director is also the screenwriter of this play, so it would be difficult to find him to direct it again. As for the actors, the original second male lead, Qiao Renliang, won't make his debut until next year, but there are no problems with the other actors. So Kang Qirui told Azu to find an experienced director and gave him his favorite target of first-class male and female actors.
"Xu Zheng? Li Xiaolu?" Azu was shocked when he heard this, "There is Zhu Bajie and a Golden Horse Actress. How can our small company find someone like this?"
"Let's try it first, maybe People will be attracted by this script. We will see what price they offer at that time. If we can afford it, we will do it. If we can’t afford it, we won’t do it,” Kang Qirui said. In this way, Xiyangyang Film and Television Company made a shooting plan for the first movie on the first day of its opening. Miss Tang and Azu took other employees to advance the next step of work.
Azu contacted Xu Zheng and Li Xiaolu’s agency and sent them the script via email. After waiting for three days, both parties responded to Azu’s emails. He expressed his willingness to play the leading male (female) role and asked Azu to go to the capital to discuss matters such as remuneration in person.
"Arui, Arui, it's done, they agreed." Azu shouted as soon as he returned to Kang's house. Kang Qirui was not surprised by the result. He was also a new director in his previous life. They are all willing to act in small companies, and there is no special reason not to act in this life.
"What do you think is an appropriate salary for me to pay this time?" Azu asked again. Kang Qirui thought about it and remembered that he remembered that the cost of this movie in his previous life was 2 million, which means that the salary for them was not high. He said: "Let's take a look at the asking price over there first, and we'll discuss the details later. Let's have a cap of 2 million."
Azu nodded and said that he understood. Only then did he notice that Yumi was back. "When did Yumei come back?" Yumei returned to her hometown of Shanghai after Weirui went bankrupt.
“Arrived this afternoon.” Yumi said with a smile, and patted Azu again, “Fortunately, my cousin-in-law told me that you have opened a film and television company, and I heard that you are planning to make a movie, Azu Brother, can you assign a role to me?”
“Assign a role to you?” Azu was stunned for a moment and then asked.
"Yes, you have lived with me for so long." Yumi said coquettishly. Seeing Diana's expression change, she changed her words: "It's because we have lived together for so long that you still don't know about me. What’s on my mind? Being a film and television actor is my lifelong pursuit.”
After saying that, Yumi looked at Sachiko for help. Sachiko didn't want to come forward on her own, so she quietly touched Ayao, and Ayao reacted immediately. He said to Azu: "Beautiful boy, you have to help Yumi with this favor no matter what. Don't worry, it doesn't have to be difficult for you. Just give her any role. It doesn't matter what the role is."
"But you must show your face and have your lines." Yumi emphasized.
"As for this question, you have asked me that I have no idea. Rui is the boss, I am just a part-time worker." Azu attaches great importance to the company's first project and does not want to be influenced by nepotism. drag, so he decided to kick the ball to Kang Qirui.
Everyone also knows that Kang Qirui is the boss, but Kang Qirui's style is to never interfere in the specific operations of the company. This is true for tea restaurants, clothing companies, and confinement centers. Kang Qirui only pays attention to the company's situation when you ask him for his opinion. Now that Azu comes to ask him for his opinion, he really doesn't care, "Then let Yumei play the role of the girl. She will show her face and have two lines." "
"Okay, okay, thank you, brother Arui." Yumi was excited, and turned to Azu and said, "Thank you, brother Azu, too. Don't worry, I will play this role well." ”
Yumi is not greedy either. She is not young anymore and has been exposed to many things. She had never been successful in beauty pageants and auditions before, so now that she has a role, she is really satisfied.
"Hey, hey, why don't you arrange a role for me too?" When the second brother saw that Yumei had won a role, he also got interested and asked Kang Qirui and Azu.
"Well" Azu didn't dare to agree or refuse, so he could only push Kang Qirui to the front. Kang Qirui looked at Azu and Erdu helplessly, and said: "Second brother, you can't even speak Mandarin, what kind of drama are you playing? You can be the owner of your tea restaurant."
" I can’t speak Mandarin and can dub. I read in the news that some actors only say 1234567 when filming. Isn’t it the same as being a big star?” The second brother was unconvinced.
"You all know that people are big stars. Only when they are big stars can they dub in the post. May I ask what kind of star you are? Do you also want to dub?" Kang Qirui was really impressed by the second guy. Others He wants to do what he wants to do to an actor, so I can’t understand his brain circuitry.
The second guy stood up, took three steps back, struck a pose, and said in a passionate tone: "How about Kang Qizong, the Golden Rooster Best Actor in 2004? Does he have potential? Well, forget it, it's okay, okay?" He said As he spoke, he saw Kang Qirui's brows frowning more and more, so he wisely stopped talking.
“You’re a bitch!” Azu Ayao commented in unison, feeling that neither of them could change his temper, and he would only restrain himself when others were angry. The second brother pretended not to hear anything, ignored them completely, and walked into the dining room to prepare for dinner. (End of this chapter)
