367. Small projects do big things

If Wang Yifan’s idea is, the group company provides a mature project, invests funds, and then finds a director to film. But what does this have to do with the new director?

In fact, there is another very habitual rule in the Chinese film industry, that is, the initiator of a project is usually the director, not the film company.

The director has a fancy to a project, including a new director. Usually, he creates a project himself and then goes to invest.

Unless it is some adapted scripts, this is how most projects come about.

Of course, this method has been operating for so many years, and it has proved that the existence of this method is effective.

Because before investing in any project, no one can guarantee that the project can make a profit, investing in movies itself is very risky.

"Actually, I want to do some small projects, some low-cost projects. These projects can be initiated by our company or group companies, and then recruit directors from the outside. Those veteran directors may not look down on these small projects, but there is no problem with new directors."

"If we give the new director another insurance to the project and let an old director control the final film of the movie, that is, the editing rights, can we further reduce the risks?" Wang Yifan said.

Lin Husheng and Chen Hanming both disagree with Wang Yifan's idea.

The reason is very simple, that is, even if a project initiated by a company, can it guarantee profitability? Well, in fact, it is difficult for any company to invest in movies in any way, but will this reduce the risk?

If you think about it carefully, you will really do it!

But the question arises again. Where can I find so many potential low-cost projects in the company?

This is like a video website. It requires a keen-eyed content official to control it, but where can I find such a person?

"I'll look for the project!" Wang Yifan said with a smile.

Lin Husheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Let me do this, I will set up a new company and invest some funds. The group can also invest some funds to operate this plan together. I will choose some short, flat and fast small-cost projects to do it, and each movie will be controlled within 10 million in terms of cost." Wang Yifan thought for a while and said.

Wang Yifan was actually inspired by Chen Shaojun. The environment of the Chinese film circle in this world is not as large as that of the previous life, so some relatively large-scale movies can be made.

But Wang Yifan has no other creative ideas in this area.

He just needs to give a story outline, then ask the screenwriter team to fill it in, and then find a director to shoot according to the script.

Although this will limit the director's ability, it can ensure that the movie will not deviate too much.

In fact, the market has proved that in China, low-cost dramas, comedies, horror films, and any category of low-cost films have great potential. Chinese audiences really don’t have that high requirements for movies.

Therefore, in Wang Yifan's view, there is still a lot to do.

For example, low-cost horror movies, low-cost thriller movies, etc.

Then, Lin Husheng said on the spot that the group would invest 100 million yuan in the new production company, and Huaxin would be responsible for the distribution of all the videos of the new company.

......

Yang Qin is a female director, but she is really not a newcomer. On the contrary, she has made many movies, but unfortunately, they are all "horror movies" that sell dog meat under the guise of sheep.

There is no way, Yang Qin is not a professional. At first, she was a photographer who shot graphic advertisements.

Later he became a director.

Although all the films are not as good as the price, and the cost may be only hundreds of thousands or millions of "horror films", it still accumulates a lot of experience for Yang Qin.

What? Why do you think those companies don’t make some high-quality horror movies?

Premium? Premium is not only easy to create. It requires not only creativity, but also money.

In the eyes of Wang Yifan and Lin Husheng, investments of less than 10 million are considered small costs, but in fact they are indeed.

But in the eyes of many small companies, movies worth less than one million are small costs because distribution also requires a sum of money.

And making bad movies is actually a real short and fast project.

When Yang Qin was the fastest, she could have two movies a month. Although most of them were for a few days of theater tours, she couldn't stand it. She could really make money. Although she definitely won't make too much, she made money.

When you go to the theater, you will see one or two movies almost every day, and even several thrillers will be released.

Because of the market, so many shoddy horror movies have appeared.

But Yang Qin also wants to enter the mainstream film industry. Yes, the mainstream film industry, those movies that sell dog meat with a low cost, who knows who the director is?

However, Yang Qin has no way, so according to her idea, she is to accumulate some funds and then invest in her own movies.

At this moment, Yang Qin's agent suddenly came over excitedly.

Although Yang Qin's agent is not a big agent, he has a wide connection in a small circle, so Yang Qin can keep receiving jobs.

"Come on? What kind of movie is this time?" Yang Qin seemed a little indifferent and said authentically.

Ni Jie didn't care. Originally, those movies were all more simple than online movies. Yang Qin was almost vomiting when she filmed them. What can you expect?

Yang Qin is short of money and not money. She lacks money because she wants to be her real mainstream movie. Not lacking money means that although she is not a rich man, she still has a net worth of millions.

"Huaxin's big move! Are you interested?" Ni Jie said with a smile.

"What big move? What does it have to do with me? Moreover, I have also paid attention to the news recently. If Huaxin really has big moves, why didn't I see it?" Yang Qin certainly knew Huaxin, but what does Huaxin's big moves have to do with her, a young director who has not even entered the mainstream film industry?

"This big move has not been officially announced yet. I also got the news from a friend inside Huaxin. Since I came to tell you this news specifically, then naturally this matter has something to do with you." Ni Jie said.

"And I hope it has something to do with you!" Ni Jie added.

"Huaxin lacks high-quality content, so this time, Wang Yifan will launch multiple projects at once. The key is that although these projects may be small-cost movies, they will use new directors! This is your opportunity. Haven't you always wanted to make real movies?" Ni Jie said seriously.

"Is the news true?" Yang Qin no longer calmed down as before, but suddenly stood up and said.

"It's true! Moreover, the small cost is just for Huaxin and Wang Yifan. In fact, no matter how small the project is, the investment will be at least several million. Such projects are not favored by famous directors. So, I said that this is your opportunity. Of course, such opportunities are rare, and your competitors will not have too many advantages, but this time, your competitors will not have too much advantage!"
