China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 608 Internal Worms and Married Men [-in-]

After Sun Yi held a meeting in the starry sky, he made a special trip to the special effects team to check the progress of the "Pacific Rim" trailer.

Starry Sky's special effects department has all been assigned to Starry Sky Digital. However, because the company's address is in Huairou Film and Television City, which is quite far from the Starry Sky headquarters, it only takes half a day to come and go. Therefore, in order to improve work efficiency, Starry Sky Digital is here at the headquarters. Bian retained a special effects team just to facilitate the docking work.

The team leader told Sun Yi that the trailer had been produced according to his requirements and could be released at any time.

Sun Yi watched it live and thought it was good.

Completely based on his ideas.

The first phase of promotion of "Pacific Rim" only includes online website notices and offline posters. The information displayed on the posters is also very limited. They are all starring several human beings. Everyone is curious about the specific mechas and monsters. What does it look like.

Sun Yi is going to reveal a little secret to movie fans in the trailer so that everyone can quench their thirst.

Many directors, including film and television companies, are eager to put the most exciting scenes of the film in the trailer, so that fans will be hooked and then happily spend money to buy tickets.

After watching the movie, I immediately cursed.

"What the hell!"

Sun Yi did not want to lose this character. Although he could not change the general environment at present, he could at least guarantee that Xingkong would not do so.

He plans to have a total of three versions of trailers, corresponding to three mechas and several protagonists.

Starting in July, the films will be released to all major platforms at an average rate of one film per week, stimulating the appetite of movie fans layer by layer.

After dealing with the trailer, Sun Yi came out of the special effects team and returned to the office, where he happened to meet Xiaoting.

"Waiting for me?"

"Uh-huh."

"What do you have here?"

Sun Yi asked Xiaoting while opening the office door.

"The first day box office data of "Beijing Meets Seattle" just came out. I just happened to come from the production department, so I brought it to you, Brother Yi."

Xiaoting held the folder and placed it respectfully on Sun Yi's desk.

"Hey, it's out. I thought it would be tomorrow." Sun Yi took out the box office report and chatted with Xiaoting while reading it, "How are you in the production department? Are you still used to it?"

"Well, it's okay. I'm getting used to it and I've learned a lot from Mr. Yang."

Sun Yi didn't look at the previous statistics, but directly looked at the final data. When he saw that it was a 2-digit number starting with 4, and the units at the back were labeled tens of millions, he felt immediately relieved.

He stopped browsing, raised his eyelids, looked at Xiaoting with a half-smile, and asked: "So you worked with me as an assistant before, and there is nothing to learn?"

"No, no, no, no, no."

When Xiaoting heard this, her face flushed with embarrassment, and her head shook like a breaking drum.

Not funny at all.
"Okay, okay, whoever is joking with you has become a producer and is still so timid." Sun Yi smiled and shook his head, completely unaware that Xiaoting looked at him with a bit of sadness and sadness. dissatisfied.

How could the big boss of the company make such a joke!

Oops, this look in her eyes has a bit of the charm of a little girl.

Sun Yi rubbed his nose in embarrassment and suppressed the smile on his face. This was not only his former assistant, but also his wife's little spy in the company. He was a proper confidant, so he had better be careful.

"Ahem, I heard that you joined the cast of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" some time ago. How was it? Did you get anything out of it?"

Seeing that Sun Yi stopped teasing her and asked about serious matters, Xiaoting subconsciously sat up a little straighter, but just as she was about to open her mouth, she immediately closed it. Her lips moved for a long time, but she didn't say a single word.

Sun Yi noticed that Xiaoting was hesitant to speak, and his eyes slowly narrowed.

In this situation, it goes without saying that there must be something wrong with the crew.

Moreover, the high probability is economic.

As the boss of a film and television company and also a director, Sun Yi was very aware of the authority of the producer and director in a crew. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they could cover the sky with one hand.

As long as the two can reach an agreement, the entire crew won't say what they say.

Now that Yang Fan is focusing more on the company headquarters, his management of the production department must have declined. He actually had this consideration in mind when he transferred Xiaoting to the production department.

"Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" is also a major project of Star Sky's TV drama department this year. It brings together many female stars of Star Sky including Zhou Xun, Yang Mi, Wan Qian, Chen Shu and other Star Sky. The total production cost is as high as 7000 million, second only to " Pacific Rim".

Xiaoting arrived at the production department to familiarize herself with internal and external affairs. This project was the first one she worked with as a production assistant.

Sun Yi is very relieved about Xiaoting, and he can tell from working as his assistant in the past few years.

The little girl is very smart and sensible. She knows what the priorities are and can make her hesitate in front of her. It seems that the matter must be serious.

"Tell me, it's okay, I'm here now, there's nothing else."

"Well, it's just that Producer Zhao has a deep cooperation with the local company in Hengdian. Many of the crew's purchases are from that local company."

Sun Yi knew that this producer Zhao had just joined Starry Sky last year. He was very experienced and well-known in the industry. He had run many successful projects. He had cooperated with Yang Fan in the early years, and this time it was also through Yang Fan's relationship. Join the company.

Sun Yi nodded and continued to ask:

"Also, there is nothing wrong with choosing a local company to cooperate with. There must be others."

He first affirmed Xiaoting's statement and believed that Xiaoting could understand what he meant. Such a large-scale production crew needs to contact local companies for food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc., and have familiar cooperation with them when filming in other places. , and even said that there is some economic interaction among them, which is normal.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish.

When filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in Hengdian, Sun Yi also bought a Suzuki motorcycle through Yang Fan, and even took Xiao Nizi for a ride.

That was also the first time he discovered that the seemingly gentle and quiet fairy sister could also be a crazy girl in private.

Xiaoting bit her lip, as if she had made some kind of determination. She had already reached this point, so there was no need to hide anything anymore.

"Brother Yi, I know it's normal for the crew to cooperate with some companies. Such a big crew can't do everything by themselves, but the price quoted by the company that Producer Zhao found is a bit outrageous."

Once she made up her mind, Xiaoting told Sun Yi like she was pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

It was said that she initially joined the crew with an attitude of learning, and her job title was also assistant producer. While on the crew, she slowly discovered that something was not right.

Also filming in Hengdian, the expenses of Sun Yi's crew actually doubled compared to before.

Even if prices have skyrocketed in the past two years, they have not quadrupled.

Yes, the film and television industry has exploded. There are many crews coming to Hengdian, and there are also many more service companies that can handle film and television crew business. It is impossible to increase so much.

After some investigation, she found something fishy. She asked Producer Zhao to find out the situation. Unexpectedly, Producer Zhao relied on his seniority and seniority to completely ignore Xiaoting and bully her. A young girl actually told her bluntly that there was nothing wrong with the accounts and she could check them at will.

As everyone knows, Xiaoting studied accounting in college. After following Sun Yi for several years, she knew everything about the film and television crew, and she also knew it very well.

The account was checked immediately.

As expected, the actual expenses of the crew were much higher than the highest price in Hengdian. He went to Producer Zhao to argue, but to his surprise, the man refused to admit it, and started talking about Yang Fan, the general manager. Qi felt that he could suppress her.

In his opinion, an assistant who is transferred from a big boss must be disliked by the boss and pose no threat at all.

Who knew that Sun Yi sent Xiaoting to the production department to rectify it.

"Xiaoting, I know about Producer Zhao. Where is Lao Qi? Does he have any problems?" Sun Yi asked the director Lao Qi again. To be honest, he was very optimistic about Lao Qi because he has rich experience. , he also listens to greetings and does whatever he is told, he is an excellent tool director.

He really didn't want Lao Qi to make any mistakes in this regard.

Unexpectedly, when Sun Yi asked about Lao Qi, Xiaoting blushed and was speechless.

"Why, he also has a problem?" Sun Yi quickly asked.

Seeing that she couldn't compete, Xiaoting had no choice but to confess.

"Qi, Director Qi, there is no problem financially. It's just that, in terms of style, he is a bit different from some of the actresses on the set."

"Who?"

Sun Yi was a little shocked that Lao Qi, who was so old and still somewhat Mediterranean, could actually get involved with the company's actress. He wanted to know who could be so blind.

"No, it's not the company's actresses, it's the extras from Hengdian. It's those special actors who were assigned roles by Director Qi."

oh.
After hearing this, Sun Yi understood that it was him who had misunderstood.

Let's just say that these actresses in the company are all famous and respectable, so no one can fall in love with him.

"He slept with someone, and then what kind of role did he arrange? He was still ruthless, patting his butt and refusing to admit it."

Sun Yi's words made Xiaoting's face turn redder.

At this time, Sun Yi also realized that the person in front of him was a young girl in her twenties, and his words were too explicit.

"As far as I know, Director Qi has arranged some special roles, and no one has reacted to him."

Ok.

At this moment, Sun Yi understood that he was using the director's authority to benefit himself in some aspect.

Whether this matter is big or small, it is still a question of whether the butt is clean.

Such a large crew requires a large number of special actors. These people often only have a few scenes or a few lines, so they do not require strong personal abilities.

So, who to choose or not depends entirely on the director. Sometimes, the director doesn't want to play with the "unspoken rules", but can't handle the fact that there are bad people in the crowd, so she recommends herself as a pillow.

Which cadre can withstand this test?

As long as you don't use the director's authority to coerce people, it's not a big deal.

However, the warning must still be given, at least it must be punished to make his body hurt, so that he will remember it for a long time.

Lao Qi can still be saved.

As for Producer Zhao, the nature is different.

Sun Yi looked at Xiaoting and asked again:
"Do you have the crew's relevant accounts, evidence, etc.?"

"It's all here with me."

Sun Yi nodded, took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer of his desk, frowned and took out one, but he couldn't find any fire for a while.

Xiaoting took out the lighter at this time and lit it for Sun Yi with a click.

She still maintained the habit she had when she was an assistant to Sun Yi.

hiss~huh~
Sun Yi has been smoking a lot less recently, but today's matter is a bit difficult to deal with, mainly because he has to take Brother Fan's attitude into consideration.

He believed that there was definitely nothing to do with Brother Fan. As the company's third largest individual shareholder besides himself and Xiao Nizi, he couldn't afford to poach himself.

Brother Fan has a problem, he loves face.

This producer Zhao found his connections and came to Xingkong, and the matter was dealt with within half a year. It was a bit unpleasant to tell it.

This is what Sun Yi is thinking about.

It's okay not to deal with it. He can't tolerate someone stealing the company's interests.

You know, a thousand-mile embankment is destroyed by an ant nest.

Sun Yi took a heavy drag on his cigarette, then pressed most of the cigarette butt directly into the ashtray, and said sternly to Xiaoting:
"Your accounts should be handed over directly to Mr. Gao. Everything should be done in accordance with the company's rules and regulations. If he spits out everything he eats honestly, I will save him face. If he doesn't know how to praise me, then I will give it to him." Find a place to eat and drink for free.”

"I understand. What about Mr. Yang?"

"You don't have to worry about this. I'll go and tell you. Just feel at ease."

"Well, I see."

After sending Xiaoting away, Sun Yi was ready to leave the company.

Before leaving, I thought about it and called Yang Fan first.

After all, from Starry Sky Image to a formal one, his influence in the circle is getting bigger and bigger. It has been a long time since the two brothers sat down and had a drink together.

Sun Yi is still a Northeastern person at heart. There is nothing that cannot be settled over a drink between brothers. If you can't settle it after one meal, then do it over two meals.

When Yang Fanfan borrowed Sun Yi's phone number, he was confused, "He's at the company, why did he call me?"

I've just finished a meeting this afternoon.

"Brother Fan, are you looking for a place to have some drinks tonight?"

"Hey, why, Xiao Liu won't let you go home?"

"How dare she! She rebelled. She's just greedy for wine, and we haven't sat together for a drink for a long time. Today, I feel like it's better to choose a different day than to hit it."

"Ha, it's rare. Okay, let's find a place and go there as soon as we get off work."

"Remind you, ask for leave from your sister-in-law first. I won't take the blame for you if something goes wrong."

"Hey, she can still look after me. Your brother and I talk about things at home, but she doesn't dare to go west. That's it. I still have a phone number at hand. I'll see you in the parking lot later."

Putting down his cell phone, Yang Fan thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out why Sun Yi wanted to drink with him.

Maybe I haven't drank for a long time and I'm hungry.

Don't tell me, he is a little greedy.

He quickly took out his cell phone again and dialed a number.

"Hey, wife, I'm asking you for a leave tonight. Oh, it's not Xiao Yi. He is having trouble with Xiao Liu and is in a low mood. Do you think I, the big brother, can help adjust it?"

"What, tell them to go home to eat together, uh, no! No need! The young couple is so angry that they can't see each other. I'll educate Xiao Yi first with the successful experience of a married man."

"Well, well, okay, okay, I will definitely go back as soon as possible. Don't worry, I will do my best to persuade and educate you."

Putting down the phone, Yang Fan crossed his legs contentedly, lit a cigarette, shook his head and hummed.

"First enter Xianyang and become the king, then enter Xianyang to serve and protect the imperial court."

"Sissi, why did you remember to call me at this time? When I saw my aunt, she brought me a treat. Come back as soon as possible. I miss you. Well, you are at the company. Brother Fan and the others are organizing a party in the evening. Okay, okay, you still You don’t know me, I listen to my wife the most, so I definitely won’t drink too much, um, bye~”
