Winners in life: starting from the street writer

Chapter 118 Top Director
After the annual review meeting, the online literature circle became a little calmer.

"Confucianism and Taoism to the Holy" is also gradually approaching the completion of the book, which makes many book lovers who are used to chasing books very reluctant to part with it.

Although it was the first time for Shen Hao to try fantasy writing, his results were beyond all readers' expectations, and the various statistics were also very dazzling. The badges that can be obtained from the starting point are considered to be solid.

And on the day when "The Most Holy Confucianism" was finished, there were more than a dozen rewards from the Baiyin League on the starting point app that day. These were all spontaneous behaviors of readers, which shows the strength of Shen Hao's writing style.

During this period of time, Shen Hao was not idle either. While preparing for the new book, he did not forget to dispatch capable officers to several newly established companies.

In terms of Dream Realization Film and Television, it also selects the best among the fresh graduates from major film and television colleges.

Although good seedlings have been poached by major entertainment companies, it doesn't mean that there are no talents left.

But what is the most critical factor for a film and television company to grow and prosper?
Based on the growth history of the Chinese brothers, we can get a very precise answer, that is, a top director!
So, for the last top talent recruitment ticket, Shen Hao chose to recruit a director.

"Song Xiuzhu, male, 35 years old, graduated from the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy. In terms of drama, he also has profound attainments..."

After reading Song Xiuzhu's information, Shen Hao can only sigh with emotion, people are really incomparable.

Song Xiuzhu started from commercial films, followed by web dramas, TV dramas, literary films, commercial films, step by step, becoming a well-known top director in the industry.

After all, it was a parallel world. Shen Hao hadn't paid much attention to the entertainment industry before, and had never heard of this name.

It can be seen that Song Xiuzhu not only has an outstanding director level, but also has an impeccable private life.

In other words, for such a big-name director to join Yuanmeng Film and Television, it would be like shooting mosquitoes with anti-aircraft guns.

As long as Song Xiuzhu joins, there will be venture capital who dare to give a valuation of more than one billion.

This is the value of a top director!
The person in charge of Yuanmeng Film and Television is called Chen Kai, who was also recruited by Yu Miao.

Having worked in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, Lehua's senior vice president is quite familiar with the artist management business.

Chen Kai's salary was not very high, only 200 million annual salary + 2% of the shares.

Originally, Chen Kai felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Generally, executives like them change jobs for the sole purpose of taking the lead, and the other is for the shares.

But Yuanmeng Film and Television only gave him 2% of the shares, which somewhat looked down on him.

But when Chen Kai heard that Song Xiuzhu was going to join Yuanmeng Film and Television and would hold 10% of the shares, he was dumbfounded.

Will Song Xiuzhu join this kind of three-no company?

But seeing this big living man in front of him, Chen Kai couldn't hide his excitement, and he didn't have any objection to him having only 2% of the shares.

Even a big director like Song Xiuzhu only holds 10% of the shares. Who is he?

It can be said that with Song Xiuzhu around, Yuanmeng Film and Television has a steady stream of blood-making ability.

A top director has such ability!
Don't be too familiar with Lehua's trainee operation mode.

But that set of models has a crucial problem.

Stars need opportunities.

Especially for the top class, it is really because of both strength and luck that there is some hope.

Just like Lehua, the whole company is supported by Wang Yibo.

Wang Yibo alone has generated more than [-] million yuan in revenue for the company, and this is after a [-]-[-] split.

And what about other artists?

The revenue contributed to the company is not worth even half of Wang Yibo alone.

But how rare are Wang Yibo's top class?
Even Lehua, with its desperate marketing, just can't create another top-notch.

But it was different with Song Xiuzhu.

With Song Xiuzhu's level of directing, as long as there is an excellent script, the possibility of Song Xiuzhu's failure is extremely small.

Even if this newcomer is not good, there are other newcomers on top.

After a lot of trial and error, you can always dig out a top stream.

Tsk, these days, the top players in the entertainment industry are really making money.

Just like Wang Yibo, who has 65 endorsements, and the price of each endorsement is around 1000 million.

It is no exaggeration to say that if a top-notch artist is cultivated, at least the artist company can comfortably make quick money for ten years.

ten years later?
Please, the top stream is also time-sensitive.

To be able to maintain the top stream for three or four years without collapsing the house is considered to be a long life.

Looking at the young big boss, Chen Kai didn't dare to be careless.

Being able to recruit a top director like Song Xiuzhu, one can imagine how strong the big boss is.

Facing such a master, he didn't dare to fool around.

In order to show his ability in front of the big boss, he moved out the trainee model he had mastered in Lehua, and gave an executable plan based on the current situation of Yuanmeng Film and Television.

Generally speaking, qualified trainees often have to go through three years of training.

Go through three stages of basic, advanced and debut training, the training content includes vocal music, dance, performance, English, etc.

Small companies may have a shorter period of time, but the trainees they train are not good at business.

A large entertainment company like Lehua receives nearly 20000 applications for trainees every year, and the number of people signed will not exceed a total of 40, with an annual admission rate of no more than 0.2%.

It is conceivable that the prospective trainees who can be admitted are absolutely outstanding in all aspects.

After another three years of tempering, his strength is naturally extraordinary.

However, with the stricter supervision of the entertainment industry.

The prohibition of idol development programs has caused many entertainment companies to lose an excellent channel to increase the exposure of newcomers.

In this way, with a big-name director in charge, the number of trainees for Real Dream Film and Television has become even more sought-after.

Shen Hao listened carefully to Chen Kai's report, and was very satisfied with the trainee model he proposed.

But waiting three years was not in his plan.

Shen Hao directly gave instructions, "You first try to find some good seedlings from those trainees who have not yet debuted in companies such as the entertainment industry, either with excellent acting skills or outstanding singing skills, and those who only have good looks. No move."

"Ok."

Chen Kai got up immediately, and nodded seriously.

Unlike those famous artists, liquidated damages are sky-high, often tens of millions.

Like ordinary trainees, the liquidated damages of 80 yuan is considered very optimistic about them.

After all, no one dared to guarantee whether a trainee could successfully become a star.

Many trainees would not agree to sign such a high liquidated damages.

Even so, if Yuanmeng Literature poachs people like this, you must be prepared to bleed heavily.

But for Shen Hao, spending money to buy time is not a problem.

Although it may cost about 100 million to recruit a trainee, if they can be popular, I dare not say that they are top-notch, even if they are second- and third-tier niche students, the company will make a lot of money.

Even for a big company like Lehua, there are only 60 officially contracted artists, and [-]% of them are trainees, waiting for an opportunity to debut at an unknown time.

Of course, for a company like his, there are about 80 people just to reserve talents.

If there are too many trainees and the opportunity to debut is delayed, it will not be good for the company's atmosphere.

Shen Hao's start-up capital for Yuanmeng Film and Television was as high as 5000 million yuan, of which he gave [-] million yuan just to dig out the trainee's budget.

Although it's decentralization, it's not that Chen Kai has no supervision at all. In terms of finance, he must be firmly controlled by Mr. Shen.

Moreover, if the level of trainees does not meet the cost of poaching, Shen Hao will definitely be held accountable.

With the note approved by Mr. Shen, Chen Kai couldn't help but start digging at his old club, Lehua.

Before that, he had been working in Lehua, and naturally knew which trainees in the company were talented and which were of average level.

Apart from the matter of the trainees, Yuanmeng Film and Television's first work after its establishment had to be brilliant enough.

It is better to slow down and work with precision than to rush.

Like Song Xiuzhu, he receives a lot of scripts every year, and there may be only a few of them that made him want to shoot.

For a top director like him who is full of honors, as long as he speaks out, some investors will line up to give money.

Shen Hao felt a little pity, as it was impossible for Song Xiuzhu to make an online drama.

Although Song Xiuzhu would faithfully carry out Shen Hao's orders, but Shen Hao would not be so stupid as to do things that lowered Song Xiuzhu's reputation.

The last time, the most important thing is to start with a TV series, and the male and female protagonists must be top-notch or first-line celebrities in the industry.

On the contrary, when it comes to movies, everyone will be relatively tolerant.

Even if Song Xiuzhu picks a newcomer from his own family, it's difficult for the outside world to say anything.

But again, for other companies, Song Xiuzhu's film belongs to the kind of top-level resources that must be robbed.

If there is no one in the company whose acting skills meet the standards, it might be a good idea to exchange it with other companies.

Anyway, as long as Song Xiuzhu is around, there is no need to worry too much about Yuanmeng Film and Television.

In addition, adapting movies like comics is also a good direction.

For now, Yuanmeng Manga is not even considered a start, but only a long-term plan.

Novels are usually adapted into TV dramas.

But it is not without exception.

For example, in the time and space of the earth, the hot mess IP "Ghost Blowing Lantern".

As long as Shen Hao presents this work, with Song Xiuzhu's level of directing, the box office may still surpass Earth Time and Space.

In fact, during this period of time, apart from preparing for "Celebrating More Than Years", Shen Hao devoted a lot of energy to "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

Compared with "Celebrating More Than Years" with nearly 400 million words, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is also close to 200 million words.

Both books have extremely high requirements for writing.

Even with Shen Hao's current 8-point writing style, it is still not enough in the double-opening situation, and the hand speed has to be reduced a lot, trying to ensure the quality.

Few authors try to double open this kind of thing.

One is that the distraction of energy will inevitably affect the quality of creation.

Another one, the vast majority of authors can't even guarantee the update of a book, so why open another book?
