Entertainment: I treat you as my sister, but you want to pick on me?

Chapter 665 Jiang Yan as director

What's next?
Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Lu Lesheng turned his head to look at Xiang Xingxian who had rushed back from the film set.

"Enter the film and television industry!"

Jiang Yan said.

Since the acquisition of Feng Lingyu's animation studio, Jiang Yan had a meticulous plan in mind.

First make Beifeng Animation bigger and stronger, and use it as a source of funds to feed back Beifeng Entertainment.

Apparently the plan worked, but only half the battle.

Beifeng Animation is now the largest animation company in China, with nearly a thousand employees, under the management of Feng Lingyu in an orderly manner.

"Five Elements in the Fog Mountain", "The Return of the Great Sage", "Assassin Wu Liuqi" and so on, the animations released have been widely acclaimed.

In addition, animation peripherals are also selling very well, and the operation is very mature.

In the middle, there was a change, that is, the Yayuan Group invested in Beifeng Entertainment. This was a surprise, and it was not within the scope of Jiang Yan's plan.

Beifeng Entertainment has gradually grown from Beifeng Animation and Yayuan Group's 80 billion investment. Currently, there are six managers and forty artists.

The reason why Xiang Xingxian was rushed back from the set of "Sword Rain" was because he was the only director in the company.

Entering the film and television industry is a matter of great importance, and we must be careful and cautious.

Jiang Yan's words made the three of them look serious, and they were all lost in thought.

"Jiang Yan, hasn't the company been making movies?" Zhang Dan asked.

"The Tuner", "The Richest Man in Xihong City", and "Sword Rain", which is currently being filmed, are all movies.

"What I mean by entering the film and television industry is to reach Xitian's scale."

Jiang Yan explained, then took out the materials prepared in advance from the drawer and put them on the table.

Xitian is recognized as a leading entertainment company in the film and television industry. According to statistics, last year Xitian produced a total of 35 TV series and [-] movies.

It is worth noting that the wind vane of TV dramas has always been firmly grasped by Xitian.

The popular ethics dramas of the previous year and the popular historical dramas of the previous year were all produced by Xitian.

What kind of theme is popular in the animation circle follows the trend, and the same is true in the TV circle. The difference is that Xitian is a TV series that imitates itself.

In addition, there are movies. Jiang Yan noticed that the movies invested by Xitian are generally between 1000 million and 3000 million, and the promotional budget is 500 million.

These small-investment movies are divided into three situations, the first is a small loss, the second is a small profit, and the third is a big hit.

Of course, big explosions are rare, and they are generally small profits.

With an investment of 3000 million, the total box office of the film is [-] million. In addition, Dadi Cinemas itself is owned by Xitian.

Other than that, there are big investments and big productions. Of all the movies that Xitian invested more than [-] million yuan, seven out of ten are popular, and they are big hits!
"Game of the Maze" tells the story of a group of people who were caught in a mysterious forest, and a group of perverted rich people gambled.

After the movie became popular, Xitian launched "Game of the Labyrinth" one after another, until the leeks couldn't be cut, the fans' feelings were wasted, and the money could not be made.

"So, you want the company to release seven or even more movies a year?" Zhang Dan understood Jiang Yan's meaning.

"There are TV shows!"

Jiang Yan added.

It is a recognized fact that the film and television industry is very profitable, just like what Xiang Xingxian teased before.

""Your Name" invested 60 million yuan, the daily box office exceeded [-] million yuan, and the total box office is estimated to be [-] billion yuan. This is more profitable than robbing a bank, and it is not illegal."

The premise of making money in the film and television industry is that both movies and TV dramas must be exciting, and the audience and TV stations will pay for the good-looking filming.

"So what does the boss want to do?" Lu Lesheng asked.

Since he joined Beifeng Entertainment as the general manager, Jiang Yan has completely turned into a hands-off shopkeeper, and Zhang Dan and him are responsible for all matters of the company.

"Professional things are left to professional people, I trust you."

Jiang Yan said so.

And he and Zhang Dan lived up to Jiang Yan's trust, and the two cooperated to make Beifeng Entertainment run well.

But this does not mean that the boss is really a shopkeeper. Lu Lesheng knows in his heart that the boss has been attracting talents for the company, singers first.

For top-tier singers like Hu Yuanliang and Tian Wang Ji Xuemin, the boss personally joined the company, including the Lyric Writers Association, and now it is completely possible to add two words in front of it.

Beifeng Lyricist Association!

All the staff of the association are employees of Beifeng, and the management personnel such as Quan Yongsi and Ding Sishuo are all Jiang Yan's old friends. Although they are not subordinates, Jiang Yan can appoint all positions in the Lyric Writers Association.

Lu Lesheng gradually realized that his boss had a meticulous mind and a long-term vision.

Jiang Yan pondered for a moment.

"The company needs more directors." Jiang Yan looked at Xiang Xingxian.

"Does the project director have any recommended candidates?"

Jiang Yan asked.

"Yes, for example, my assistant director Yue Weili, who has been with me for five or six years, can completely take charge of the filming independently, but he is not well-known." Xiang Xingxian said.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you have the ability, I can give him the cost of trial and error."

Jiang Yan said with a smile.

It doesn't matter if Xiang Xingxian's assistant director shoots a movie that hits the street, it doesn't matter if two movies hit the street, if the third one doesn't succeed, then you can get out.

As for the cost of trial and error, with Beifeng Entertainment's current financial resources, the investment in movies and TV dramas can range from 1000 million to 2000 million.

"There are other directors like Xitian, Dongsheng, Warner, Brotherhood of Brothers. The circle of directors is very small. Everyone knows who is capable and who has nothing but appearance."

Xiang Xingxian said.

"I'll leave it to Sister Dan to dig people." Jiang Yan thought clearly.

It's best if you can dig it out, but it's okay if you can't.

"It's best to recommend some young directors, between the ages of 30 and 40." Jiang Yan added.

Xiang Xingxian nodded.

"The other thing is that I plan to build a video website and APP." Jiang Yan continued.

Middle-aged and elderly people still watch TV habitually, while young people are more inclined to watch TV on computers and mobile phones.

The importance of video websites and apps is reflected.

"This difficulty is a bit high."

Lu Lesheng scratched his head. When he was still in Chaomeng, Chaomeng Animation wanted to build a video website and app.

However, it failed in the end and could not shake the status of the animation tribe.

There are many reasons for the failure. To put it simply, the video site is burning money every minute and every second, but the return is too low to meet expectations.

Boss Chaomeng finally stopped, he couldn't afford such a huge loss.

"I have confidence, and I hope you will also have confidence!"

Jiang Yan said in a deep voice.

"When the Beifeng Video APP is established, all TV series and movies under Beifeng Animation and Beifeng Entertainment will be exclusively shown on the Beifeng APP. In addition, I will personally shoot a TV series recently as a publicity!"

Shoot a TV show yourself? !
Everyone was surprised, especially Xiang Xingxian, he knew that Jiang Yan's acting skills could be called the best actor, but can he do it as a director?
