Chapter 799 Conditions (2/3)

Yang Ming shook his head and said: "Not all."

"To be honest, the production-centered system will inevitably be the general trend. However, our Oriental DreamWorks is currently mainly a director-centered system. The final editing rights are in the hands of the director, but the script must pass the company's review."

"Actually, I have an idea in my mind. As long as a director signed by Oriental DreamWorks has three consecutive movies that are box office hits, then his next movie will be the producer himself, integrating the producer and director.

Together, then the director’s remuneration will be based mainly on box office profit sharing.”

Yang Ming expressed his final opinion. In fact, this model was also the mainstream trend in the Chinese film industry in previous generations.

In other words, this is a stage in which the Chinese film industry is transitioning to a producer-centered system.

In the past, China's great directors were always very powerful. Even later, when the Chinese film system gradually began to implement a producer-centered system, some film companies still acted like Sun Tzu when they encountered heavyweight directors. They had to listen to everything.

The arrangement of the great director.

But then, as the new generation of young directors came to the fore, this phenomenon slowly disappeared. After all, young directors are not that tall, so the opportunity to direct is very rare and easier to negotiate. Big directors are gradually out of business.

Already.

Therefore, later on, many great directors became both producers and directors. Why, just to have the dominant power in the film, but they still lost some voice.

This is basically what Yang Ming and Jing Yongchang are talking about now.

Although he is eager for talent, he cannot indulge the directors under the company and harm the company's interests in order to pursue pure art.

After all, the past life resources in his mind are limited. Once the resources are used up, Oriental Dream Factory does not have a suitable system, so waiting for the consequences of Oriental Dream Factory will definitely not be wonderful.

Yang Ming laid out the company's requirements for the director's shooting in front of Jing Yongchang one by one in detail. First, the script must pass the review, and then it will be basically OK. It is basically a director-centered system, but he has a condition. If three consecutive

If the movie fails at the box office, the company will take back the final editing rights.

To be honest, he also wanted to show that he had visited the thatched cottage three times, but after discussing with Liu Xinsheng and Barber, Oriental DreamWorks could never do this.

And through these days, Yang Ming personally received some meetings with directors who wanted to cooperate with Oriental DreamWorks. The conditions offered by those directors also made him realize that when selecting directors who want to sign contracts with Oriental DreamWorks, they must be more careful than excessive.

Whenever he thought of several well-known directors at that time, when they came to Oriental DreamWorks to meet with him, they said with a noble attitude that they had ready-made scripts, and as long as Oriental DreamWorks invested in the filming, it would be fine.

Yang Ming and Oriental DreamWorks cannot interfere with everything from casting, editing, plot, blank space, and everything about the crew.

Faced with these demands, he could only hehe.

At this moment, although the Jing Yongchang in front of him was the director Yang Ming really wanted to sign, he put all the conditions before being a gentleman, so he laid out all the conditions and said everything in order to avoid any unpleasantness in the future.

Jing Yongchang's brows furrowed deeply. He never smoked much, so he asked Lu Enzhong for a cigarette, lit it up, and thought about the conditions offered by Yang Ming in his mind.

To be honest, except for this script review, he was very satisfied with everything else, especially the final editing rights. As long as he didn't have three consecutive movies that failed at the box office, the company would not interfere.

But he was a little unsure about the script review and the subsequent test screening system.

Test screening means that some scenes will be deleted, so the content and style he wants to express will definitely be affected.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and glanced at the young man in front of him, and was filled with emotion. He had always thought that he was a talented and lucky young man, but now it seemed that he was still a scheming boss. This young man was not simple.

.

Therefore, Jing Yongchang couldn't help but ask the question he wanted to ask the most: "Yang Ming, you are a student at Yanjing Film Academy and a director. Are you willing to see the director not able to freely control a movie? Even yourself

Can’t leave behind the style and imprint of the film?”

Lu Enzhong heard this from the side and looked at Yang Ming curiously, wanting to hear what this young man would say. After all, the young man had a serious background in directing.

well!

Yang Ming sighed quietly in his heart when he heard this. To be honest, if he had not had a previous life, he would probably have chosen the director-centered system as a young and vigorous man. He tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly: "Since I took the

From the day I started directing, I have always believed that a movie that the audience thinks is good is a good movie."

"Only when a movie becomes a movie that purely serves the audience, then the movie is a good movie. What does it mean to purely serve the audience? In fact, you can't see the director's imprint. Where does the director's imprint usually come from? From

There are two things, one is stylized expression and the other is blank space. There is no blank space in Hollywood movies, so

In order to follow the corporate operation, continuous test screenings are conducted. After the test screenings, everyone gives opinions and opinions. In the end, you gradually remove the shots you like. If there is no blank space in the movie, there will be no charm. But the rhythm of the movie will not be accurate.

The audience will be happy because his spirit will not go away or suddenly think of himself somewhere and then wander in his mind."

If the audience loves to watch a movie, then some genius ideas from the director may be good medicine, but more often than not they are poison.

Yang Ming knows this better than anyone else.

Jing Yongchang thought about Yang Ming's words, with a look of admiration on his face. During the period when he broke up with his old employer, Oriental DreamWorks was not the only film company that contacted him to poach his past, but if someone like Yang Ming could do this,

There is no company that is sincere, honest, and makes no secret of its purpose.

First the villain, then the gentleman.

This is Yang Ming's behavior as the boss of a film company.

After a while, Jing Yongchang responded to tonight's meeting: "Yang Ming, I will go back and think about it, and I will reply to you in two days."

"No problem, that's what it should be. After all, this is related to your future career development." Yang Ming replied with a nonchalant smile, but he took out a stack of documents from the bag beside him, pushed it in front of Jing Yongchang and said: "

This is a comedy script I wrote, and it is also the type of comedy movie I hope you will want to make after coming to Oriental DreamWorks."

"Oh?" Jing Yongchang's eyes lit up and he quickly took the script and started reading it.

Even Lu Enzhong stretched his head curiously and looked at it curiously. The name of Yang Ming's script can be said to be well-known in the entertainment industry, and there have been no examples of failure so far.

"Nonsense? Grassroots?" Jing Yongchang murmured. r1148
