Chapter 357 Advantages
After the Chinese New Year, Haomeng Company went to work normally, and the first thing was to formally introduce Yu Dong to the company's employees.
Yu Dong is 26 years old this year, quite young. He will not serve as general manager when he first joined the company, but is the head of the publicity and marketing department and belongs to one of the management teams.
Haomeng Company is currently divided into several major parts, one is the creative department, which is the company's core business.
A film and television company will only be competitive if it has strong creative capabilities, and this department is under the responsibility of Lin Zixuan.
The second major part is the publicity and distribution department, which is responsible for the promotion and distribution of the film's later stages.
The marketing department is mainly responsible for advertising business and market research, analyzing audience preferences, and the trends of other film and television companies.
Next is the logistics department, including finance and procurement, etc., to assist in the work of other departments.
Finally, there is another part of the artist agent. This has not yet developed. Currently, only a few actors have been signed, such as Zhang Guoli, Liu Bei, Yu Feihong, Fu Biao, Zhang Hanyu and others.
Fu Biao and Zhang Han are therefore appointed actors by Feng Xiaogang and are considered members of the Feng family class.
Others, such as Chen Daoming and Wang Zhiwen, although everyone has a good relationship, they have work units and will not sign contracts with film and television companies.
The reason why it has not developed is that there are not many actors signed, and the various configurations are not perfect enough.
As an agent, you should provide development plans and performance opportunities for your artists to protect the interests of artists from infringement.
This department is managed by Lin Zixuan. He uses his own actors in the films he shoots in his company, or recommends these actors to appear in TV series filmed by the Performing Arts Center.
However, he is not good at how to become an agent, and he needs to find someone to be responsible for it in the future.
Yu Dong has been familiar with the business of Haomeng Company for half a year. If he is competent, he will be promoted to the general manager of Haomeng Company.
This six months is the inspection period. Lin Zixuan will not hand over the power to Yu Dong from the beginning, but there must be a gradual process.
Yu Dong is quite interested in Good Dream Company. In the past, everyone was just a cooperative relationship and didn’t know much. Now he can get a comprehensive understanding, but he will do his job first.
He is familiar with the promotion and distribution, and he has to formulate suitable plans for each film.
After several days of running-in, Yu Dong became familiar with his work.
He was surprised to find that in the marketing department of Good Dream Company, there was an online business, a forum on film and television.
In the current domestic film industry, no company pays attention to the Internet. They may not connect movies with the Internet at all, or they do not know what the Internet is for.
Good Dream Company has already thought about using the Internet for publicity. Its effect may not be great now, but it will be difficult to say in the future.
As a young man, Yu Dong is also interested in new things like the Internet, and believes that more and more people will go online in the future, and the influence of the Internet will become greater and greater.
He seemed to understand the reason why Haomeng Company was successful, which was its advanced thinking.
When others don’t expect it, they think of it, so they succeed. This does not mean that they are creative, but are good at learning and learning.
For example, in the New Year comedy, Xiangjiang has had such a video for a long time.
Mainland filmmakers don’t like this kind of film, but when they are put into Feng Xiaogang, they have become a Beijing-style comedy and are popular with the audience.
Let’s talk about online publicity, foreign countries have already developed a relatively mature model, but the mainland’s Internet has just developed.
Taking one more step than others has given Haomeng Company a great development advantage.
Lin Zixuan doesn’t think he has a great advantage. Society is developing very quickly. Today’s advantage may be caught up tomorrow. There will never be a shortage of smart people in this society.
The crew of "Spring in a Small Town" is heading to Jiangnan.
At this time, the capital was still winter, and the spring in the south was already cold, which was a good time to shoot this video.
Haomeng Company found several cars, one of which was loaded with antique furniture worth millions. The actors and crew members took a business bus, and a van with shooting equipment.
The preliminary preparations for this film have been completed, and the next step is to start shooting.
Another Japanese person who accompanied him was Naozo Ichiyama, who Lin Zixuan met at the Tokyo Film Festival. He was interested in this film and came to visit the set.
During the filming of a film, some interested directors or filmmakers will come to visit the set, which is normal.
Internationally, the film festival organizing committee will appoint filmmakers to various countries to do this kind of selection work every year. When encountering particularly good films, they will recommend them to the film festival organizing committee.
For example, "Sunny Days" was the French filmmaker who asked Louis to recommend it to Italian Mark Muller, thus entering the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival.
These filmmakers attach more importance to the works of famous directors, and do not miss some potential directors.
As the fifth generation director, Tian Zhishi is known for his unique style and has a certain influence in the international film industry. It is not surprising that he has attracted the attention of Shinzo Ichiyama.
Lin Zixuan planned to send "Spring in a Small Town" to the Venice Film Festival and greeted Mark Muller in advance.
Mark Muller was a Chinese master. He went to Beijing to study in the 1970s and was very yearning for Chinese culture. He studied anthropology at that time. Later, he saw Chinese movies and developed a strong interest in movies.
He also met filmmakers from China at that time, including the fourth and fifth generation directors.
After returning to Italy, Mark Muller gave up his original job and focused on studying films. He became a famous European filmmaker and served as the chairman of many film festivals.
He is keen on introducing Chinese films to Europe, and Zhang Yimou's films were introduced to Venice.
Since 1986, he has been working as a film selection work in the Asian region of the Venice International Film Festival.
In other words, he will recommend whether Asian films can participate in the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival.
Because he met in Venice last time, Lin Zixuan told Mark Muller about the situation of "Spring in Small Towns". The Italian filmmaker said he would take the time to come to China to watch this film.
He admired the shape of the field and believed that the films with the shape of the field are very artistic and meet the requirements of the Venice Film Festival to select films.
To put it bluntly, the International Film Festival still depends on relationships. It is easy to know people. At least the film has no problem participating in the main competition unit. As for whether it can win an award, in addition to the quality of the film, it also depends on luck.
Lin Zixuan sent away the crew of "Spring in Small Town" and returned home.
That night, a news broadcast on the news, shocking the entire China. The old man who changed the face of this country passed away. At this time, there are less than five months before Xiangjiang returns. (To be continued.)
