Chapter 1188 Change(1/2)
Just when Yang Ming learned from Minister Guo that the Zhao family might have bad intentions, he bid farewell to Minister Guo with caution.
Victory Pictures.
Zhao Jianfeng was sitting in a spacious office. He did not directly occupy the office originally used by He Xinghan. After all, the He family still had some shares in Victory Pictures. He had just had a friendly cooperation with the other party, so he couldn't let it slip.
He doesn't recognize people anymore, that's not his way of doing things.
Therefore, he asked someone to find a larger room as an office, and then he moved in after some simple decoration.
At this time, he was looking at the document in his hand. This was various statistics compiled by the people below after conducting thorough research on Victory Pictures over the past few days.
While watching, Zhao Jianfeng frowned from time to time, which showed that he was not satisfied with the current situation of Victory Pictures.
As one of the giants in the film industry, last year's annual profit was completely eclipsed by a rising star film company.
Zhao Jianfeng was very dissatisfied with this. His character was that it was best to do nothing or not do anything.
Oriental Dream Factory!
He muttered the name softly.
Last year, Oriental DreamWorks ranked first in the movie market, both in terms of profit and multiple times the total box office of its movies.
With several giants firmly under him, Zhao Jianfeng gently put down the documents in his hands when he thought of this, his face became solemn, and he tapped his fingers on the table casually. It seemed that this Yang Ming really lived up to his reputation.
Oriental DreamWorks' performance that shocked everyone in the film industry can be said to be all tied to this young man Yang Ming.
Without Yang Ming, Oriental DreamWorks would be no different from other third-tier film companies.
Maybe not as good as a third-tier movie company!
But Yang Ming's creative talent in movies is so monstrous.
Not only did the two films he shot undoubtedly surpass all commercial blockbusters in the world, not to mention the blockbusters produced by several domestic giants; what is more important to Zhao Jianfeng is Yang Ming's creative ability in movies.
This guy can not only make his own movies, but he can also write his own movie scripts, and every script is a big hit.
Why doesn't Zhao Jianfeng take this seriously?
He didn't enter the film industry just to be a stepping stone for others.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jianfeng quickly thought of various response plans in his mind.
After a while, he made an internal call and asked his secretary to come in, and arranged: "In half an hour, all the company's top executives will have a meeting in the conference room!"
Time passed very quickly, and half an hour later, we were in the largest conference room of Victory Pictures.
"I read the company's performance report last year, are you satisfied with it?" Zhao Jianfeng sat in the main seat and patted a thick stack of documents in front of him and said calmly. He didn't get angry, and his voice was not loud, but the calmer he became.
, but it made other people in the conference room even more frightened.
The company has just undergone a blood change, and the top management has undergone major changes. Even He Xinghan, a son of a well-known family in the capital, immediately handed over his power without saying a word after Zhao Jianfeng arrived, and now he only has a nominal title to show off.
It was also the first time for everyone to come into contact with Zhao Jianfeng, and they did not want to leave a bad impression on the new boss during their first meeting.
Zhao Jianfeng glanced around and saw the expressions and reactions on everyone's faces. He tapped the table lightly to attract everyone's attention, and then continued: "I will tell everyone what I think in my heart. I don't
Satisfied. To be honest, when I got these performance reports, I doubted whether the staff had got them wrong. Is this the performance report of Victory Pictures, a century-old company in the Chinese film and television industry? It is not that of other ordinary film companies.
Report?"
After hearing his words, except for a limited number of people in the conference room, everyone else lowered their heads in shame.
We are all insiders, so we will naturally not forget last year's report.
Zhao Jianfeng didn't want to give people a cruel impression. He was not satisfied with stabbing someone in the heart, but he wanted to open the wound and rub salt on it. But when he saw this performance report, and the people below compared this report with those of other film companies
The comparison was really unbearable for him.
This is not the first ignition of the new official's appointment, but that Victory Pictures has reached a point where it must take heavy measures, otherwise this giant will not make any progress.
"27 billion, 16 billion!"
Suddenly, Zhao Jianfeng snorted and slowly said a set of numbers in a sarcastic tone.
When everyone here heard this set of numbers, they immediately thought of something. The look of shame on their faces became more obvious, and their heads hung lower.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the conference room was getting more and more depressing, Zhao Jianfeng felt that the heat was about to get better. He softened his tone slightly and said, "Oriental DreamWorks is just a film company that was only established five years ago. It can now achieve such results in the film market.
No matter how much profit they made last year, this year’s box office figures alone are almost twice that of Victory Pictures. I can’t stand it, the company must make changes!”
In recent years, China's film market has become increasingly expanded, with total box office data increasing at an exaggerated rate every year.
Everyone knows that China's film and television market is about to usher in its most glorious moment.
The total box office data of every film company is rising, and Victory Pictures is no exception. Five years ago, Victory Pictures may have been cheering for the annual total box office to exceed 10 billion, but now Yang Ming can do it with just one film.
Done.
Last year, Yang Ming's two movies, "Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms" and "The Love of Humans and Ghosts," almost achieved a total box office figure of 20 billion, plus the scripts Yang Ming wrote for other people in the company
, there are also some films that newcomers are trying to make, which have both losses and profits. Added together, Oriental DreamWorks alone had a total box office of 27 billion yuan last year.
In this circle, once the news came out, it was simply sensational.
As one of the giants, Victory Pictures was almost twice as far behind as Oriental DreamWorks. This is no longer a shame, but a shame.
If this continues, how can Victory Pictures still claim to be a giant in the Chinese film industry?
After saying these words, Zhao Jianfeng relaxed his frown slightly, then picked up a piece of paper in front of him, looked at it, his tone became serious, and continued: "Next, the company will make relevant adjustments, and also...
Please cooperate.”
Subsequently, he made several personnel changes at the top of the company.
No one from the top management of Victory Pictures in the conference room had any objections.
"Which of the films currently being produced by the company can be considered for awards?" After making some personnel changes, Zhao Jianfeng asked another question.
After all, he had just taken over Victory Pictures. According to the statistics compiled by the people below, although the production plans of all the company's films were listed one by one, he was not familiar with the film and television industry, and the team he brought over was not free to take over the company's affairs for a while.
, so he doesn’t know what expectations he should have for each film he is filming now.
At this time, a company executive replied: "Director Haitian is currently filming "Crazy Speed", which cost nearly 500 million yuan. It is the company's top drama at the moment."
"Crazy Speed"?
This name is not unfamiliar to Zhao Jianfeng, and he has met Hai Tian several times.
He Xinghan also told him all the inside stories about this racing film.
This film was directed at Yang Ming. In addition, Xiao Bufan also spent 300 million yuan on this film, so it was considered a joint production by both parties.
Zhao Jianfeng doesn't mind this. There are too many cases of capital joint holding and profit sharing in the business world.
But he felt that one "Crazy Speed" was not enough.
"Are there any other videos?" he continued.
"In addition to Haitian's "Crazy Speed", Li Xiaoqiang's costume kung fu film "Eighteen Heroes" is also highly anticipated by the outside world."
"Wang Kuanda's "SWAT Team" is also considered the company's key filming plan."
....
Several senior executives slowly named several movies. Zhao Jianfeng quickly took out the materials compiled by the people below and scanned them quickly. Not long after, a person sitting not far from him, after listening to several senior executives,
After the report, I checked the information and introduced it to Zhao Jianfeng in a low voice.
Zhao Jianfeng frowned even more when he heard these introductions.
Follow the trend!
And it still follows the style of Oriental DreamWorks.
When you see other people making costume kung fu movies, you also make kung fu movies too; when you see other people making gun fight movies that are popular, you also make gun fight movies too.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jianfeng couldn't help but slap his forehead. If he blindly follows the trend, as time goes by, Victory Pictures, a film company known as a giant, will always be at the bottom and become a dust-catcher. Don't even think about surpassing the other party.
But he also knows that following the trend is inevitable no matter what industry you are in.
Zhao Jianfeng pondered for a while, and then made a decision quickly, saying: "Let's discuss it and recommend three films. The company will arrange for these three films to compete for various film awards. The list will be handed over to me later."
He sighed secretly in his heart. He still had a long way to go in reforming this giant in the film and television industry!
But no matter what, since he has stepped into the film and television industry, he has made his voice known. Although he does not know whether the next three recommended films are guaranteed to win awards, as long as they are well managed, they can make a name for themselves.
As long as he reaches this point, he has achieved his goal.
No matter in China or abroad, there should not be too many film festivals.
Maybe there is no hope for the three major film festivals, namely the Golden Dragon Awards, Cannes Awards and Oscars, but there is room for other film festivals to make some moves. When the time comes, it will be enough to build momentum through media promotion.
If you can't win the Golden Dragon Award, you can go to the Shanghai International Film Festival or even the Tokyo Film Festival in Japan.
The Cannes award is too difficult, but Venice can also be considered. The Zhao family has many business partners around the world. It won't be a big deal if they can be a little more accommodating and win a few low-level film awards.
Zhao Jianfeng's eyes filled with deep thought, and then he arranged a shooting plan.
He wants to make a large-scale costume historical film and television drama!
"There are many dynasties in Chinese history. I don't care about the subject matter. You arrange the director. The filming funds will be 200 million yuan for the time being. If it is not enough, you will report it to me then!"
200 million yuan to shoot a TV series?
To be continued...
