Rebirth 1983: Starting From Taking Back the Family Property Chapter 576

Chapter 576 Wanjia Film and Television

Wanjia Film and Television made a profit of 109 million yuan last year. The main contribution was God of Gamblers, which has high overseas copyrights. After reading the financial report, Lu Jiaxin felt that she had paid too little attention to Wanjia Film and Television. After all, the profits were really good. You must know that Green Forest's profit last year was only about 100 million.

With this idea in mind, Lu Jiaxin went to Wanjia Film and Television the next day and asked Tian Pengyu for a list of the next shooting schedule.

Legally Blonde is almost finished filming, and God of Gamblers will start filming next month. Apart from these two, she is familiar with them, and only knows about the other movies and TV series. This is not to blame Tian Pengyu, but Lu Jiaxin is a hands-off shopkeeper, and her requirement for Wanjia Film and Television is not to lose money.

After reading the shooting plan, Lu Jiaxin said: "Give me all these scripts."

Tian Pengyu was overjoyed: "Boss, just wait, I'll get it now."

The boss actively expressed his willingness to read scripts of other movies, which proves that Wanjia Film and Television is now starting to take it seriously. The boss has the ability to turn stone into gold. As long as she is willing to put in the effort, the profit this year will definitely exceed previous years.

Lu Jiaxin glanced at the scripts he held over, then picked up the top one and read it. The name of the movie is "The Way of the Dragon", a police movie. This type of movie is what the Hong Kong director is good at. Moreover, Hong Kong and Mainland China love to watch this type of film, but if you want to make money, it must be a high-quality film. So far, Wanjia Film and Television has not produced a high-quality police film.

After reading more than ten pages, Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "This won't work. It's too dull and the audience won't like it. You can add some funny scenes to make the film less dull to attract the audience."

Tian Pengyu immediately took a small notebook and wrote it down.

Lu Jiaxin went through the nine scripts roughly, and they were all satisfactory, and none of them made her eyes light up. Also, if there are good scripts, they have gone to several other big film and television companies, so it's not their turn. Although there have been three hits, they are still far behind the others.

Tian Pengyu could tell by her expression that she was dissatisfied. She said: "Boss, I hired a screenwriter named Zhao. He is good at writing emotional dramas. He will come to work next month. If you have any good ideas, you can tell him. Let him write it.”

Hearing that Lu Jiaxin is good at writing emotional dramas, the words idol drama immediately came to mind. But don't worry, we'll wait until the screenwriter comes to work.

Tian Pengyu hesitated for a moment and then said: "Boss, our office is too small. We should change it to a larger one. There are too many people and we can't move around."

"What are the requirements?"

Tian Pengyu hopes to rent two floors, one for offices and one for actors to take classes and train. Unlike now, newly recruited actors have to rent a place to take classes, which is inconvenient.

An idea flashed through Lu Jiaxin's mind, and she said: "There is no rush in the office. Let me read these scripts in detail and hold a meeting to discuss them together."

She used to hate meetings and considered them a waste of time. Unexpectedly, things have changed, and now she has to host several meetings every month for several of her companies.

When she got home from get off work, she saw Nie Zhan sitting in the living room reading documents. She fell on the sofa and said, "I'm so tired. I don't want to go to work. I want to be a rice bug."

Miao Na wanted to say that you are fully qualified to be a rice insect, but she still had some sense and walked out quickly. The boss is acting coquettishly and doesn't really want to be a rice bug.

Nie Zhan put down the documents in his hands and said with a smile: "If you feel tired, just go out for a few days to relax and leave the company's affairs to the people below."

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said: "Green Forest has just been launched, so it's not easy to go on vacation. There is also Wanjia Film and Television. I think we should spend more time on it. Last year's profit was more than 100 million!"

Nie Zhan was not surprised and said: "The copyright for God of Gamblers was sold for 9 million green coins. Adding in the box office in Hong Kong, this film alone made more than 70 million."

Lu Jiaxin added: "The famous family also made more than 10 million. Now Wandao and Macau TV want to buy the copyright. The price is not bad. I have agreed. There are also Legally Blonde and Bangziguo want to buy the copyright. I think they The bid is too low and I want to use a share-based approach. "I would also like to cooperate with the Mainland for "Legally Blonde", but it's a pity that the Mainland is still relatively conservative and God of Gamblers cannot be released. "

Nie Zhan feels that Lu Jiaxin has a good relationship with the mainland, and Legally Blonde tells a story about female independence, which will be very popular among young women.

Lu Jiaxin expressed her thoughts: "Last year's profits are still in the account, and this money is used to recruit troops and strengthen the company's strength."

She feels that what Wanjia lacks is not big stars, but directors and screenwriters.

Nie Zhan thinks it's good. He said: “You can tell the screenwriters your ideas and let them write them. You will control the script once it is written.”

Lu Jiaxin also had the same idea: "Azhan, sometimes I feel like you are the roundworm in my belly, you always know what I am thinking."

Nie Zhan corrected her statement, saying that this was a tacit understanding cultivated by the two people: "I remember you said before that if you like two screenwriters, you can hire them. In Hong Kong City, problems that can be solved with money are not problems."

Lu Jiaxin smiled, she thought so too.

During the meeting the next day, she asked her secretary to send the script to Tian Pengyu and other senior executives, and said with a cold face: "None of these scripts are innovative. They are all just copycats. How can we make money by making a movie like this?"

Three of them are likely to be profitable, two are uncertain, and the remaining four projects are definitely losing money. Those with the potential to make a profit will be filmed as originally planned, and the rest will be cancelled.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Lu Jiaxin said: "Without a good script, you can't make a good movie. You are in this industry, so you should know this better than me."

Tian Pengyu said bravely: "Boss, good screenwriters are supported by various companies."

Lu Jiaxin said: "You can recruit them with high salaries. Not only screenwriters, but also directors and stars can be hired. In this way, if you have a good project, you don't have to worry about not finding the right people to film it."

Tian Pengyu almost burst into tears. The boss paid attention to Wanjia Film and Television. Because Lu Jiaxin does not pay attention to the company, the morale of the company is relatively low. It's fine now. With the boss's shot in the arm, the company will definitely get better and better.

Other senior executives are also happy. They were also jealous of Green Forest's listing and hoped that their boss would pay attention to the film and television company. Finally, they waited.

After the meeting, Lu Jiaxin called the three screenwriters to the office and told them that they wanted to make a fairy tale movie, a funny version of the fairy tale movie. Filmed now, it can be released during the Lunar New Year period.

The three screenwriters are not sure.

Lu Jiaxin said: "If you don't have any ideas, you can read "The Legend of the Gods", "Journey to the West" and "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".

In addition to asking screenwriters to write some good scripts, another way is to adapt best-selling novels into films or TV series. The latter allows Tian Pengyu to search for her to check.

　　The boss had spoken and given direction, and the three screenwriters could no longer refuse.
