Chapter 1134 Rules

Six of the seven major shareholders of   Young People's Film and Television Company are star actors. On the last day of the end of the year, the six people will go to two different local satellite TVs to participate in the New Year’s Eve party, and the premiere of Zhao Rui and their film is scheduled for the official release, which is the first three days of New Year’s Day, December Twenty-eight. The New Year's Eve party will be rehearsed and some corresponding preparations must be made for the premiere. In order not to affect the two work of the six star bosses, the first annual meeting of the young film and television company was arranged one week before the new year of the Gregorian calendar.

   Xiao Yao and other seven people are all major shareholders of the company, but no one holds a specific administrative position in the company. In terms of company administration, it is hired by experienced professionals in the industry. In addition to salary, several of the top executives also received a small amount of company shares as incentives.

  The youth company does not have an annual meeting, only a year-end summary meeting. This summary meeting is not an all-hands meeting, but a meeting that brings together the company’s shareholders and executives. Although all seven major shareholders including Xiao Yao attended, it was not a few of them who spoke in the early stage. Regarding the summary of the company’s work, the heads of each department will report and speak.

  This film and television company was established in May this year, and has invested in the production of three film and television works so far. The investment in the production of three film and television works in seven months is not a small amount for a film and television company, of course it is not too much. But considering that this is a new company that has just been established for less than a year, it seems very rare, especially since these three projects are all independently invested by this company, which is even more rare.

  In terms of finances, only one of the three projects invested by the company this year has been broadcast on TV stations and the Internet, and the other two movie projects have not yet been released. This also means that three projects have been invested, and now only one project has income into the account, then the company must be in a state of loss in this financial year.

  Summary at the end of the year, the company as a whole did not make money, so naturally there will be no shareholder dividends at the end of the year. Of course, Xiao Yao and several major shareholders have no idea about this, and those executives with equity dividends don't care much about it.

  Although the company did not make money as a whole this year, the company did not lose money on a single project completed, but was profitable. Considering that this year is the first year of the company's establishment, and more importantly, there are still two films that have not been released. Even if there is no dividend, the company's employees have not looked down upon the company's prospects.

  After the completion of the work summary, the next step is to plan the company's work for the new year. From this place, Xiao Yao came forward and took over the entire meeting.

"Thank you very much for your contributions to the company in the past year!" Xiao Yao first thanked the company executives present, and then directly mentioned money. "Although there is no dividend this year, the company's finances are okay. All awards are given out according to the standard of two to three months. At least two months and a maximum of three months. The specific amount is determined by the person in charge of each department. Those of you who take annual salary, are based on the standard of dividing the annual salary by twelve months Forget it. All distribution will be completed before the Lunar New Year!"

  "Thank you, Mr. Xiao!" The company executives all smiled and applauded.

   "Okay," Xiao Yao waved his hand, waited for everyone to be quieter, and then continued, "After talking about the benefits, let me talk about the work plan for next year."

"First of all, let me talk about a few projects that will be carried out next year." Xiao Yao said, "The first one is that our company will invest in a TV drama project. The producers are Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting from China Academy of Drama. They are responsible for the script. Most of the staff in front and behind the scenes will be graduates of Huaxi. In addition to paying money, our company is also responsible for some administrative matters."

  "Mr. Xiao, you are the newcomers of Guangyandian and Shenxi. It is not enough to compete with the newcomers of the Chinese Opera. You have to join the newcomers of the Chinese Opera and collect the works of the graduates of China's three major film and television schools?" Someone asked with a smile.

"Yes, it's fine if you Yandian and Shenxi are in the ring," someone continued, "Of our seven major shareholders, three graduated from Shenxi, two from Yandian, and one is the daughter of teacher Yandian. , But there are no Chinese opera people!"

   "No way, these are the ones of us who promised Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting." Xiao Yao shrugged, "I didn't find them when I set up the company. It's not good not to take them with you when you set up the company."

"However," Xiao Yao continued, "We are doing this project, and it does not conflict with the company's interests. This project of Huaxi is jointly invested by our company and the two of them. We are the producer, and the two of them are jointly produced. The copyright of the film and television works belongs to our company. Didn’t our Shenxi graduates make money for this TV series, and the graduates who are looking for Huaxi will not necessarily lose money. The Huaxi project is expected to start in May and June, and we have already I have conducted similar projects and have experience in cooperating with newcomers. I hope this Huaxi project can be better than our Shenxi project."

"Two individual producers can't pay much money, right? It's almost like we invested separately!" Someone asked, "Mr. Xiao, our company currently invests in projects that are wholly-owned, which is actually not in line with industry norms. Operation, is it too risky?"

   "Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "So I don't plan to invest in all future projects independently."

"The first two projects that our company invested in are all new people's projects." Xiao Yao continued, "On the one hand, the newcomers are not well-known and have low remuneration, and we can afford them alone. On the other hand, the newcomers are not well-known and have no Charisma, this kind of project is not very optimistic by others, only we are willing to pay for them. Of course, with the example of our Shenxi, there may be companies willing to cooperate with us, but in order to maintain the consistency of these three projects Sex, we still invest separately!"

   "Looking for graduates to be the main creative team for filming. We were the first to do this. No one had dared to cooperate with us before, so we won't find anyone else to share this honor or stunt." Zhao Rui continued.

After the announcement of the first two project plans of the Youth Company, it was not only Xiao Yao who received calls from Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting, but Zhao Rui was also complained by the two. This project was discussed with them as early as that time.

"But independent investment is not our company's tradition, and other projects are not all operated in this way," Xiao Yao picked up the folder in front of him and raised his voice. "Like this!" Then, Xiao Yao motioned to the person in charge of meeting minutes. The administrative assistant distributes the pile of folders next to it to others.

"This is a TV drama project plan. It will be our company's first project next year." Xiao Yao continued, "The file in front of you is the outline of the script written by me. For this project, I plan to cooperate with Yin Xi's studio. I originally wanted to discuss with you at the meeting whether to invest in this project, but because Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan's shareholders have already agreed to this project, I omitted the review step and changed it to notify everyone. But if you feel that you have any problems, you can also raise them."

  "Has the script outline been written?" Zhao Rui and others knew Xiao Yao's plan to cooperate with Yin Xi. After they got the folder, they immediately opened it and read it.

  "Beautiful sister who often invites dinner?" Lin Qisan looked at the headline and couldn't help but complain, "What's your name? It's too straightforward? How does it feel like the name of a Japanese and Korean drama?"

  This script outline was indeed written by Xiao Yao according to a Korean drama in his previous life, and he didn’t even change the name. However, Xiao Yao just wrote a script outline now, applying the general character relationship and plot trend. He did not intend to copy the entire Korean drama from the previous life. When writing the detailed script and perfecting the details, he will definitely make some localized changes.

"This is an outline. I will find someone to help me improve the script later. If there is a better name, I can't change it." Xiao Yao said to Lin Qisan, "Why don't you give me a name? I'll change it if it's good!"

   "I haven't even read this outline, and I haven't read the general story content yet!" Lin Qisan said.

   "Then look at it!" Xiao Yao said.

   "Yin Xi's studio? Isn't that the company in which Mr. Xiao you own a share?" Some executives laughed, "Then you are still cooperating with your own people?"

   "Well," Xiao Yao nodded, "In addition to being his own, but also because this is an urban fashion drama, you can make full use of Yin Xi's studio's fashion resources."

   "For urban fashion dramas, cooperating with Yin Xi's studio is indeed a good choice." Several executives nodded.

"The outline of the script looks pretty good. Urban romantic dramas are a very common theme, and love between sisters and brothers has always been a topic. There are always a lot of interested audiences in these kinds of dramas." After everyone read the outline of the script, some executives asked. Xiao Yao said, "Mr. Xiao, as far as the performers are concerned, will Miss Yin Xi also perform?"

  Although the company’s largest shareholder is Xiao Yao and the seven of them, it is unlikely that the project they have agreed to will be cut off, but it does not mean that other senior executives of the company cannot express their opinions. Some things they think are inappropriate, they can still strive to make partial adjustments. When Xiao Yao and the others were doing the projects of those two graduates, the company executives also expressed their opinions.

   "Yes." Xiao Yao said, "I will play the male lead and Yin Xi will play the female lead. All other roles are to be determined!"

"Ms. Yin Xi playing the heroine? Will it be a bit risky?" an executive asked, "Although Miss Yin Xi has been transformed into an actor for several years, she has also performed some works, but she has never acted as a female actress. On number one, is it better to play the actor's sister?"

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head, "Yin Xi's role as the female number one will not change. Although she has not played the female number one before, it does not mean that she can't play the female number one. In terms of acting skills, I think she is enough. I am qualified for the heroine. When writing the script, I will also design and perfect this role according to Yin Xi's own situation."

"The first two projects of our company are looking for graduates of Shenxi and Yandian, that is, five of your classmates to play the protagonists. The third project is Miss Sun acting as the female number one, and the fourth project is Yin Xi. Miss plays the female number one. If this continues, both the circle and the audience should say that the protagonists of our company are all affiliates." An executive shook his head and laughed.

   “As long as the selected actors have the strength and acting skills, the quality of the works produced by our company is excellent, even if they are called related parties, it will only become a kind of good talk.” Xiao Yao laughed.

   "Speaking of which, I will announce a few regulations by the way!" Xiao Yao continued.

  "Regulations?" Everyone looked at Xiao Yao.

"It's not the administrative aspect. I leave these to you. We don't care. The regulations I mentioned are for the work of our company's film and television projects." Xiao Yao said sternly, "In the future, our company will not only invest in film and television projects alone, but also Cooperate with other companies. If it’s a joint producer, we don’t have much say. This is not a requirement, but as long as it is a project led by our company, then we must do these points."

"First," Xiao Yao stretched out a finger and said, "Actors are not allowed to play during filming. We must ensure that we only film our films during filming. This is written in the contract. Those who do not agree would rather change actors. Of course, this Only for the main actors such as the protagonist and the big supporting role, and the small supporting roles, dragon sets, guest appearances, and group performances are not counted."

"Secondly," Xiao Yao said with another finger, "Whether it is a film project or a TV project, it is mainly for TV projects. The actors use the original sound, and basically no additional dubbing actors are used in post-production. The same sound is used during shooting. Included, if the on-site recording effect is not good, it must be the actor himself who will make up the recording later. This also means that, let alone those who are Mr. Numbers, Miss Numbers, they are willing to say lines, but actors with poor line skills are not required. The same is true. , Only for the main actors, small roles are not in this range."

"Third," Xiao Yao stretched out his third finger, "No matter how big an actor is, unless it is a dangerous action scene or some professional action that involves the actor's own safety, the normal literary scene does not use a substitute; unless it is special effects in the later stage. Requirement, normal scenes are not allowed to cut out pictures, as written in the contract."

   "So strict?" The others looked at Xiao Yao in surprise.

"It's not over yet," Xiao Yao continued, "but the following articles are not for actors, but for behind the scenes. The third is about the shooting of TV drama projects. Cameramen and shooting equipment are all based on the standards of filming movies. The fourth article is about props and scenery. Whether it is a movie or a TV drama project, every scene must be credible. The fifth article is about the post-production. In terms of subtitles, there must be no typos."

"The last one includes photography, props, costumes, and all aspects of the later stage, that is, no **** is allowed." Xiao Yao finally said, "There are many people on the Internet who like to look for **** shots in film and television dramas, and sometimes they are very happy to watch. , But I don’t want the happiness of netizens to come from our negligence. If any of the works produced by our company appear in these posts or video collections, the person in charge of the project will come out and be punished! How to punish, Please draw up a standard for everyone."

   "Huh?" After listening to Xiao Yao's rules, everyone present showed incredible expressions.

"Mr. Xiao, although all of these are supposed to be done, it is too difficult to do all of it. Is it too strict?" Someone said to Xiao Yao, "Don't talk about us, I'm afraid there is no film company. Can it be done?"

"It's a bit strict, but others can't do it, it doesn't mean we can't do it either." Xiao Yao said, "The first two are the attitude of the actor and the other is the professional level of the actor. The casting process can be done well. Guaranteed, the big deal is to spend more time on casting. Articles 3 and 4 are the requirements of the shooting period. It is nothing more than spending more money and more snacks. The latter two, although people cannot guarantee 100% error-free , I didn’t ask for 100% to be good, but a penalty is required for mistakes. After the penalty is imposed, the chances of making mistakes will naturally become smaller."

   "In this case, the scope of our choice of actors will be much less. Projects with the same level of production will cost a lot more." Zhu Zitong frowned.

"There will be fewer actors to choose from, but it will be 2022 soon. There are many actors who want to be stars, and there are many actors who want to be stars. There are also many really good actors. You can always choose suitable actors. "Xiao Yao said, "If the production cost is increased, I am afraid it will not be as high as the salary of one or two star actors?"

   "If it really can be maintained," Zhao Rui smiled, "Our company that specializes in looking for related parties to be the protagonists may become a clear stream in the film and television industry."

"Of the seven of us, we have six actors, five of them from major classes, and five of our elders are seniors in the circle," Xiao Yao laughed. "Our company doesn't raise standards, and it doesn't do better than other companies. How can we be worthy of us The origin and identity of these people?"
