After leaving the company and going to the hospital to buy food for Yueyao, and eating with her, Li Yan came to the eighth floor of the company's headquarters, Paradise Building, in the afternoon. The new company's office is here. Not the entire eighth floor, but only two parts.

An office space belonging to Paradise Films.

The new company has been established for some time. In addition to decorating the office, recruiting labor, etc., it is just doing preliminary work. Up to now, it has not officially started external work, or even announced the official opening of the company in a high-profile manner. As for Li Yan.

The general manager has just officially taken office.

Zhang Yurong did not ask Li Yan to be a polished secretary. As the general manager, he still had a few soldiers. But he only knew one "finance manager" Jiang Xueyin, the cousin whom he met once at Zhang Yurong's house. In Li Yan's

Before she officially came here, she was responsible for everything. In addition to her, there were several employees, and basically everyone had a name, such as creative director, marketing director, business director, etc.

Of course, just like him as the general manager, it is just the internal structure of the new subsidiary of Tiantang Film Investment Company. Whether it is called a supervisor or a director, it is not the same as the administrative level of the headquarters.

answer.

Regarding Li Yan's arrival, Jiang Xueyin held a meeting to introduce him as the general manager to everyone, get to know each other and clarify their respective functions. Li Yan will be responsible for arranging the future work.

Li Yan looked at the company with three or two kittens. No wonder the scope of power was not as large as that of the previous head of the Enterprise Department. They were only investment companies and were responsible for reviewing projects, market research, determining investments, and supervising the process, etc., and

You don’t need to plan and make a movie yourself, and you really don’t need too many people.

After the simple meeting, Li Yan was alone in the general manager's office. Everyone submitted their results one by one, including a bunch of reports about the domestic film market, about genre films, about investment cases, and about the evaluation of producers and directors.

handed it over to him.

Looking at this pile of reports, Li Yan opened them and browsed them quickly. Because he often watched movies when he had nothing to do, he still had some understanding of some common sense issues. When Wen Qianyi came to the company's business department, she asked him to be her assistant.

One of her projects was in the film industry. Although it was later discontinued because Qianyi felt that the results were too slow, she instilled a lot of industry knowledge into Li Yan. He also watched it and learned a lot.

, one mouthful

Li Yan now sees that these contents are not as out of tune as they were in the planning department. Not to mention a proficient expert, at least he can be regarded as having the common sense of people in the industry. It took him two hours to put all the contents together.

I read the report carefully, and while reading it, I also combined it with some of Wen Qianyi's previous branches.

After reading it, he already had a project in his mind, which was some of the projects that Wen Qianyi had contacted and evaluated. Because a few months had passed, they gave up at that time. As for the contact with those producers, it was also

I declined one by one. Now that I think about it, it is impossible for people to wait for an investor for some small-scale production projects. They should have already approved other investment projects, have started planning, and have even started filming.

But the project he first came into contact with, a famous producer named Qiao Pan, probably hadn't started yet because Qiao Pan's project had a relatively large investment. And the partner he had roped in at that time was Chuyi Culture in this city.

Such a company. And Chuyi Culture is just like a small company. It has no reputation and no big stars. It just signed a contract with some school girls. If they haven't found a big investor, they probably still can't get the project started.

Even Wen Qianyi felt that it was a promising project. Li Yan, combined with other people's current analysis reports, felt that the project still had investment potential.

What needs to be confirmed now is that Qiao Pan and Chu Yi have not found a new partner yet! Chu Yiwenshi is not large, but Qiao Pan is a well-known producer. He still has his connections in the film industry. He needs to win over

It is not difficult to invest.

After confirming it, Li Yan searched for the project online and could find very little news. Almost all of them had the same name and were unrelated, so he started searching for Qiao Pan's name again.

As a well-known producer, there are still a lot of news about Qiao Pan on the web. After reading some of them, Li Yan understood a problem. Although Qiao Pan is a well-known producer, he is the producer.

Several films in a row have failed at the box office!

In the eyes of ordinary movie fans, the most intuitive manifestation of the failure of a movie at the box office is the failure of the starring star. It is because the star acted in a bad movie, so he has no appeal; more experienced movie fans will see more, such as Yu Bin's movie

Failure is due to poor performance by the actors, poor control by the director, or poor storytelling by the screenwriter. Senior fans who follow the film industry will combine information from all aspects to analyze other factors of the film besides quality and appeal.

It works but not the company, the schedule is not good, the publicity is not enough, the investment is too large, etc.

But even the last semi-professional level analysis will not pay attention to the relatively low-key behind-the-scenes producer. Unless it is a big-name producer or supervisor, it will generally not attract people's attention.

When it comes to accountability in the industry, it is necessary for the chief producer to be fully responsible. Because a film project tests his vision and operational ability from the beginning of attracting investment. No matter which link goes wrong, he is responsible.

. So in the next part, investors may not believe in your ability.

This is a little different from Hollywood. The power and responsibility of a Hollywood director are very great. Generally, the director of a movie is also responsible for the production, supervision, including the script. Therefore, if a movie is a hit, the director can earn tens of millions of dollars in salary with the dividends.

The biggest stars and leading actors earn more.

It is common to even become an investor and a boss. For example, George Lucas made billions with a "Star Wars" series and can live with him for a lifetime; for example, Spielberg, who has many classics and is also very famous, is also very popular.

They have money, and they produced, directed and participated in the investment in "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which continued to make them a lot of money.

On the contrary, if a major film-level investment costs at least over 100 million U.S. dollars, if it is a big hit, the starring stars will be affected, but the director will have a greater impact, which often directly leads to the fact that no one dares to ask you to make a movie for several years. Blockbusters that fail on the street will fail.

It happens every year, even for Chinese stars. For example, after the first two episodes of the Rush Hour series became popular, Universal, which Jackie Chan invested heavily in, suffered a huge loss, which also made him quiet in Hollywood for a period of time. When Rush Hour was directed by director Mo Yusen,

Riding on the success of Face and Face and Mission: Impossible, the film has gained a foothold, but the huge success of Whisperer directly caused the president of the film company to resign, and the company went bankrupt and was merged. Since then, for many, many years,

No one in Hollywood dared to film with him, so he had no choice but to come back.

The domestic market is still developing and in the process of standardization, and the influx of a large amount of hot money from outsiders has also created a situation where "there is a lot of money, people are stupid, come..." For a group of people who are deeply influenced by Hong Kong movies, or grew up watching Hong Kong movies

Directors, producers and other employees, including some investors, still regard Hong Kong's big stars as idols. Therefore, for some big names, everyone knows that they are no longer in their prime, and their current market appeal is limited.

But everyone only remembers the classics from their golden period. So some value their acting skills, some value their popularity. Some just want to show off who I have photographed and who I have invested in.

Reflecting on the market, their accumulated popularity also has wide popularity and fans, but ordinary fans are not actually the same as viewers who will spend money to watch movies. In the past, they got to know Hong Kong stars through pirated video tapes. Now they are familiar with them.

The support of idols is only support and Thunder support. Therefore, even if it is a very big name, the box office may fail. Some fans will say that if someone else were to play the role, the box office may be half less. It is indeed possible, but if you change the actor

.The remuneration may be only a fraction, or even a tenth, or a few tenths of theirs.

Of course, this is not only true for the older generation, but also for many stars of the new generation.

Therefore, even if a movie fails, there are still other investors who dare to bet on the appeal of the next one. But the producers, or directors, and producers are behind the scenes, not stars, and they have no real or imaginary popularity.

To accumulate fans, you can only rely on your works in the industry. If you fail one after another, no investors will dare to believe in you.

Qiao Pan is in such an embarrassing state, so what he can work closely with now is Chuyi Culture, and it is difficult for large companies to trust him for investment.

Seeing this, Li Yan believed that Qiao Pan had not contacted Zumei's investment yet, and there was still a chance to find them. He also briefly searched for Qiao Pan's previous successful works, and he had some impressions. But it really needs to be done.

To implement it, more detailed data is needed to speak for itself. Chatting can be based on impressions, while investment requires data basis.

He called his subordinates to come in and handed over the task. He asked them to investigate in detail Qiao Pan's most successful works as a producer. There are also the last five works. In addition to specific data such as investment and box office returns, they also need to analyze

The specific reasons for successful and failed works. If success depends entirely on the appeal of the director or star, then his vision is still questionable.

Everyone was a little surprised by the task assigned by Li Yan. But they also got a message from this. Li Yan wanted to examine the possibility of cooperation with Qiao Pan! They have been coming to the company sooner or later, and some have been here for some time.

He came during the preparation period. It was earlier than Jiang Xueyin. Before, they never knew what kind of person the headquarters would appoint to lead everyone. Later they found out that it was Li Yan, and they also inquired privately during his absence.

What I know is that he has a very bad reputation. He may have risen to the top through connections, so he naturally has no expectations for Li Yan.

Now they see that as soon as he takes office, he conducts research behind closed doors and provides professional arrangements. This makes them believe that Li Yan is really doing market research these days. He puts away his arrogance and implements it seriously.

Li Yan found Chu Yi’s phone number.

I have a deep impression on Chu Yi Culture’s boss, Chu Yi. Li Yan. In addition to the fact that during their first meeting, he invited several student artists signed by his company to accompany him to dinner, he also had one of his... Ling Wu

Ai is Yu Xiaodi's classmate and roommate. He even saw a video with Li Yan from Di because of Ling Wu Ai. He told Chu Yi to ask him to save the country through a curve. Through his brother, Chu Tian, ​​a lecturer at the university, they got closer.

%,Ten thousand

"Brother Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why did you remember me?" Chu Yi's voice was full of surprise.

Later, he also learned that Wen Qianyi had terminated her plan to invest in movies, so of course he would no longer fawn over Li Yan and Yu Xiaodi. However, through his brother Chu Tian's relationship, he also found out that Yu Di was the daughter of the current mayor.

, Regarding this point, he also specifically told Ling Wuai to establish a good relationship with Yu Xiaodi. Even if Li Yan no longer has a cooperative relationship with them, he is still very polite when he hears the phone call.

"Mr. Chu, our group has recently established a film and television investment subsidiary, so I can let my brother take charge of this. In this regard, Chu Yi Culture is at the forefront. I have limited connections, so I first thought of contacting Mr. Chu. I will take care of you in the future."

"Li Yan said with a smile, revealing this secret that had not been made public.

Chu Yi was shocked by these words. He knew the scale of Paradise Group very well. As soon as Qiao Pan revealed it last time, he enthusiastically got involved. Being able to cooperate with such a large company and build a good relationship,

She will definitely improve her company's business in the future. But it was a pity later. Wen Qianyi didn't like the profit and profitability, and had no intention of continuing. She didn't expect that she would already set up a film and television company without making any noise!

"Congratulations, congratulations! Your group has established a new company. Brother Li has been promoted. It's a double happiness. You should celebrate it. I'll be the host tonight, so why don't you come out for a drink?" Chu Yi believed what Li Yan said. He had limited connections in the circle, otherwise

With the backstage of the Paradise Group, he could have a good time with people from big companies. Of course he would not let go of such an opportunity.

"What the hell, I should treat you to dinner together tonight."

The two chatted for a few words and then hung up the phone. Whoever pays for the treat will depend on who is more enthusiastic. Anyway, the purpose is not to eat and drink, Li Yan only needs to reveal this information. If Chu Yi and Qiao Pan are still worried about investment

, He doesn’t need to say anything else, he will definitely contact Qiao Pan immediately. And Chu Yi wants to get acquainted with the background of the Paradise Group. Regardless of whether the investment is successful or not, he will be satisfied if he can meet a friend with a related relationship.

After officially finishing his work and having nothing else to do for the time being, Li Yan wandered over to the business department. He had been busy today and hadn't visited Huang Ying yet. I wonder if Wen Qianyi has anything to do with her current job after replacing Ye Jiahong.
