Rebirth 09: Buying a house with a baby UP owner

During this period, Tian Peng used all his favor cards, looking for connections everywhere, hoping to establish relationships with people in the film and television industry. Now that the screenwriter matter has been resolved, the most important thing is the director.

For a TV series, the director is the soul of the show and the key to success or failure.

Tian Peng thought that their company was a new company and it was in the early stages of its career. Big directors would definitely not be able to afford it, so they could only start with small directors who were capable but not well-known.

The remuneration of such directors is generally not high, and in order to get a job and have a masterpiece on their resume, they are not afraid of working overtime or traveling. This kind of extremely cost-effective employee is exactly what they need.

Tian Peng was screening every day, and his hard work paid off. It didn't take long for someone to recommend him a young low-cost director [Wang Chui] who was relatively powerful in the industry but not well-known.

This Wang Chui also graduated from a film school, with a formal first-class undergraduate degree. He is always aloof and self-possessed when he takes on work. He never shoots messy music videos and micro-movies, only movies and TV series. He considers himself an artist and is very proud.

But he is not famous, and good resources are naturally not available to him. For other small projects, many of them were withdrawn halfway through filming. All he can get is the initial deposit. Although he is talented, he can only rely on this. Just a little money to get by.

When Tian Peng saw him for the first time, he thought he was a slovenly homeless man and didn't want to pay attention to him.But after seeing what he had taken before, Tian Peng immediately decided to recommend this man to Zhong Meihui.

"Does the person you recommend have any masterpieces before?" Zhong Meihui has read Wang Chui's resume. There is a lot of content recorded on it, but they are all short plays that Zhong Meihui has never heard of, and they probably can't be found online. resource.

She felt that this King Hammer might be a fake and his true identity needed to be verified.

"Sister, this person has directed a zombie movie that has never been released in theaters. Although the content of this movie is nothing new, it still follows the steps of those zombie movies in the past. However, this movie has a good click-through rate on major video websites. , the comments below are not only numerous, but most of them are words of praise.”

Tian Peng is older than Zhong Meihui, but in order to bring the two of them closer, he would rather lean down and call her sister.He found the source and relevant data of the movie from the Internet to prove that what he said was true.

Zhong Meihui took a look and felt that the data of this movie was indeed good. Some people compared it with the data of previous movies made by Uncle Jiu, and the results were actually about the same.

Zhong Meihui feels that this data is too exaggerated. Uncle Jiu's classic cannot be surpassed. It cannot be compared with a few cold numbers.

"Yaoyao and I will watch this drama first before making a decision. Does he have any other masterpieces? It's best to provide more for reference."

Zhong Meihui knows that the shooting quality of many online movies is not worse than that of theater movies. However, online movies have just emerged at this time, and everyone can't agree on the share with video websites, so many good movies are not recommended on the website. Only by relying on fans' constant clicks and increasing the click-through rate can the ranking be slightly higher.

This is the case with this movie shot by Wang Chui. Although the data is good, it has always been ranked after twenty in the search rankings. People who are impatient will simply not turn to the next page to see this movie.

"The most classic one is this one. He is still a newcomer and has not been able to direct many works. Sister, please take a look first. I guarantee you will be surprised."

Tian Peng said a lot of good things to Wang Chui, and the two of them hit it off immediately. If he could recruit someone who got along well with him into the company, he would have a companion here in the future.

Zhong Meihui opened the movie. Judging from the set, it could be seen that it was a low-cost production, but there were also many dazzling features.

After watching it, she and Yaoyao felt that the film was good in terms of camera use, editing, lighting, costumes, and background music. At least from the perspective of an amateur audience, it met their expectations.If future shootings can reach this level, then Zhong Meihui will be satisfied.

"The shooting was very good. You can bring him to see me tomorrow. We will discuss the details of cooperation." Zhong Meihui nodded and expressed her approval. This time Tian Peng found a good director for the film and television company, Zhong Meihui. Meihui will naturally remember his contribution and let him share more when the dividends are distributed.

Wang Zhui came soon. With Tian Peng's prompting, he changed into a set of clean clothes and cut his hair. He looked energetic.

But his yellowed fingers and teeth gave him away. This Wang Zhui was definitely a chain smoker, and the refreshing look in front of him was just for show.

Fortunately, Zhong Meihui only values ​​​​a person's talent, and appearance is not important, as long as he is passable.

"The company is preparing to shoot an online drama, a time-travel costume drama, 40 episodes, a production fee of 700 million, and a promotion fee of 300 million. Can you do it?" Zhong Meihui got straight to the point and directly stated the company's needs and wanted to see it. Can this King Hammer be done?

"The production cost for a single episode is less than 20 yuan, and the quality cannot be improved. Besides, I never make such low-cost TV series."

Wang Zhui wanted to refuse. He also had the aloofness from the ivory tower and didn't want others to think that he always made bad movies. If he was labeled like this, it would be difficult for him to get rid of it in the future.

"If you shoot a 45-minute episode, the quality will naturally be poor, but what we want to shoot is different. Our web series is a 22-minute episode, minus 30 seconds of the opening and 2 minutes and 30 seconds of the end. The average episode is only 19 minute."

Yaoyao has already thought of a way to reduce the time of each episode, which is equivalent to doubling the production cost of each episode.From the original 20 yuan to 40 yuan, this amount of money is enough to make a good online drama.

"If each episode is only 19 minutes, the money is enough, but how will my remuneration be calculated?" Wang Zhui is very concerned about his remuneration. He feels that Zhong Meihui's company is not large, and he is afraid that she will not be able to fulfill his remuneration in the end. Salary.

"The director's salary in our company is RMB 1 per episode, a total of RMB 1. After the official start of filming, we can pay you a deposit of RMB 40." Zhong Meihui had inquired about the director's price before. For a young director like Wang Chui, one episode 5 is already a lot.

And after seeing how impoverished he looked, Zhong Meihui even added some extra deposits.

"If there are no other questions, let's sign the contract." Zhong Meihui had previously asked Lawyer Liao to prepare several types of contracts. All she had to do was fill in the salary figures.

Now Lawyer Liao is their legal advisor, and all contract terms are very strictly written so that the other party will not take advantage.
