Chapter 442 The main theme
After seeing Jiang Zhiqiang off, Lin Zixuan held a meeting in the company.
I made a summary of this negotiation and arranged the company's affairs in the future. At present, Haomeng Company has sufficient funds, so there is no problem with taking out 10 million.
The income from subsequent TV series and movies will be paid in succession, which is enough to film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
However, you can't put all your energy into a movie.
I want to wait until "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has profits, and it will take at least two years to do it. They can't wait for two years.
Feng Xiaogang is off this year, and the company has lost its main source of income in movies. Whether it is Jiang Wen's "The Legend of Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" or Lin Xiaoling's "Going Home", the box office will not be too optimistic.
If it can be highly promoted by the General Administration, the film "Going Home" may be rewarding, and it is unlikely to make a big splash.
But a film and television company cannot rely solely on the support of one director. Haomeng Company is following a diversified development route.
In addition to continuing to shoot TV series, Lin Zixuan also plans to invest in a movie.
A few days ago, he had an idea when he chatted with Han Sanping. The establishment of Huaying Group is inevitable, and Haomeng Company will inevitably cooperate with this giant in the future.
How to cooperate has become a problem that needs to be considered.
It can be imagined that such a state-owned enterprise must be quite domineering. It can make movies and release them by itself, and serve one-stop. It does not require cooperation with other companies, and can handle it alone.
If you want to cooperate with it, you must prove your ability, otherwise the overbearing terms alone will be enough for you.
Han Sanping is worried that he will not be able to occupy a good position in Huaying Group, so he wants to get the attention of the above. One depends on whether you have connections, and the second depends on whether you have outstanding performance.
Han Sanping has connections, and there are people above him, but in the territory of Beijing, there are cadres who can get into department-level cadres, but no one above him?
Even if the people above want to help you work hard and talk, you have to be successful and capable.
In the past few years at the Beijing Film Studio, Han Sanping has attracted funds and connected relations everywhere, maintained the situation of Beijing Film Studio, and filmed hundreds of movies, which can be said to be diligent.
Although it did not cause huge changes in Beijing Film Studio, it also proved its management level.
But this is not enough. At such a moment, I can't say that I can get a good deal by just getting a good deal, at least I must be excellent.
If Han Sanping wants to gain a foothold in the future Huaying Group, he needs more conspicuous results.
This is one of the reasons why he did not invest in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". At this time, he had to go steadily and not take risks.
Working with Hollywood director Li An, investing tens of millions of dollars to shoot commercial blockbusters, it looks very glorious and can show off, but in the eyes of people above, it is a rash move, speculation, and it is not stable at all.
How can people feel at ease to hand over the important position of Huaying Group to you? If you don’t get it done in two or three years, you will be destroyed.
Now is the time when Han Sanping needs to work hard, and the people above should see his abilities, but they should not be too risky.
As the director of the Beijing Film Studio, the best way to achieve results is to make movies and also make main theme movies. This is the safest way to do it.
What people above appreciate most is the main theme movie, and movies and publicity are inseparable.
You can't go astray. Han Sanping knows this well, so he is planning to work on main theme movies this year to find good themes.
The so-called main theme movie is a film that promotes and praises mainstream values and praises human nature and life.
For example, publicize the advanced deeds of leading cadres, shoot major revolutionary historical themes, and the legendary achievements of leaders, etc.
However, after being baptized by Hollywood blockbusters and various entertainment films, domestic audiences do not like to watch main theme videos. The main theme videos are too patterned in creation and have no innovation.
This is what Han Sanping is worried about.
If you spend a lot of effort to make a main theme movie and lose money, it will be more than worth the money.
Although the box office can be raised by the unit's venue, it seems that the loss is not so bad, but the audience's reputation cannot be changed, and it is difficult for the people above to fool.
Lin Zixuan felt that it would be beneficial for Haomeng Company to cooperate with Huaying Group anyway.
He didn't mind helping Han Sanping at this time, and everyone would continue to work happily in the future.
This year, Good Dream Company will cooperate with Beijing Film Studio to shoot a main theme movie called "Life and Death Choice".
Lin Zixuan, the script of "Life and Death Choice", has been given to Han San's review. It is estimated that it will be evaluated at the Beijing Film Studio now.
Even if Han Sanping doesn't shoot, he will work with other film studios. Making main theme videos is also good for Haomeng Company and can leave a good impression with the General Administration.
At the same time, Beijing Film Studio is holding a discussion meeting on the script "Life and Death Choice".
"Life and Death Choice" tells the story of anti-corruption and promoting integrity. The mayor of a provincial capital in northern China returned from a party school for a year and found that the entire situation had undergone great changes.
Not only did he have one more competitor, he also found that his former subordinates were also trapped in it.
Behind these complicated networks of relationships, there is actually the old leader who cultivates him.
So, he faced a painful choice, whether to choose to join the crowd or make the choice that a national cadre should have.
Although the story is fictional, it is definitely a main theme film.
While economic development, the problem of corruption among officials has arisen, causing serious impacts and has become a topic of concern to the people.
This film will surely resonate with the audience. Everyone wants to send corrupt officials to prison to promote social integrity, and hope that honest officials will uphold justice.
This is a beautiful wish.
Han Sanping was impressed after reading this book. He put himself in his shoes and thought about it. His old subordinates, his old leaders, and his wife are all elements. How should he make a decision?
Even if you are dismissed, jailed, or beheaded, you must fight to the end!
How many people can do this? This script has a very main theme and can also grasp the social hot topics and the audience's psychology.
Among them, the problems of laid-off workers, the problems of children of cadres, and collective corruption are common phenomena in life.
Han Sanping thinks that the box office of such a film is hard to say, but it will definitely cause a great social response, because it is in line with this era and reflects the problems that arise in this era.
According to Lin Zixuan's estimate, the investment in this film is about 7 million yuan, and the shooting cycle is three months.
For Beijing Film Studio, as long as you want to shoot, there are staff and actors, and the directors are even more involved.
This time, Han Sanping decided to be a director himself, mobilize the resources of Beijing Film Studio to shoot this main theme video.
