Chapter 71 Xuandong's Reminder

What Li Xianyun told Dong Zixin was not what he taught him, but what he gradually realized when he was involved in the circle in those years and brought it to the perspective of the film and television company boss.

As a writer-born boss, Li Xianyun is best at considering issues from the perspective of different people.

What binds him is just practical experience.

What he said is indeed true, no boss is interested in cultivating a disobedient artist.

No matter how awesome you are, just give you a few assistants to act like a mighty person. When you arrive in front of the boss, you have to lie down and a tiger. You have to steer your posture. You can do whatever you want.

A piece of old saying: Behind those celebrities that countless people are pursuing, there is always a boss who is so fucked by him (her) that he wants to vomit.

This is reality.

The legendary story that often happens in reality is: artists and bosses are walking on the streets, and fans know the artists crying and shouting for autographs. While the artist signs with great enthusiasm, they carefully check whether the boss behind them is unhappy. The bosses recall the artists' performance in bed last night, and what tricks to do today...

The more popular the artists are, the more comfortable the bosses feel when they "fuck" her (him)!

The only way for a famous artist to get rid of this treatment is to expire the contract.

The contract expires and its reputation is particularly good.

When renegotiating the contract, you have the initiative.

Only then will artists really have the opportunity to turn over and become masters.

Therefore, the contract period is very, very important, which is why Qin Yuye attaches importance to the three-year contract.

Seeing that Dong Zixin was about to cry when he said anything, Li Xianyun smiled and said nothing, asking Jiang Zheng to arrange for check-out.

Most of the crew disbanded yesterday, and Ren Zhi and Rong Dasheng and others had already returned early, but Li Xianyun and the others would not leave for the time being.

Jiang Zheng also wants to clean up his "dirty holographic imaging equipment", while Li Xianyun will stay here to discuss the script modification direction with the screenwriter found by Huayou, complete the basic framework construction before leaving.

Live... Of course, you live in Qin Yuzai.

Although Xuan Dong joined, he always had to go back and prepare, so the only one who actually left was Dong Zixin.

The little girl hummed when she left, as if Li Xianyun had done something to be sorry for her.

At this moment, the hotel room was retreated, and Xuan Dong came to see Li Xianyun.

He said: "I have to go back to deal with the family affairs and talk to Lao Chu's wife. It will probably take some days to come. By the way, I have to prepare the money."

Li Xianyun smiled: "No hurry, you are welcome at any time."

Xuan Dongdao: "Since I am also a shareholder of the company, I have some ideas about the company's development."

"certainly."

"I don't know the specific situation of Yisheng Media now, so I can't say much for the time being, but I can give you some help with the film cooperation. Let me leave the resource allocation for Huayou."

Li Xianyun nodded: "That's right, you're the most suitable for this."

"And this time-travel hunting, neither you nor Lao Jiang have paid for it, right?"

Li Xianyun shook his head.

Xuan Dongdao: "It can be done in a short time, but not in a long time. Share income is share income, and labor income is labor income. The distinction must be distinguished."

Li Xianyun smiled and said, "I thought about this even if you don't say it. Didn't Lao Jiang pay a lot of money at the beginning? I'm embarrassed, so I'll do my best. I'll discuss this with Lao Jiang in the future. Even if I'm a rookie director, I still have to get the director fee."

Xuan Dongdao: "I have told him Lao Jiang that he is fine. In addition, you are not a rookie director anymore. After filming six movies, you are already an old director."

Well, that's right, in fact, many directors may not have filmed six movies in their lifetime.

The reason why Li Xianyun thinks he is a rookie is that he is filming too fast and he completed six movies in almost a year.

So Li Xianyun habitually modesty: "There are still many things that need to be improved."

Xuan Dong said disdainfully: "Don't think the director is too great. Do you really think that other directors know everything? I have too many crew members, not as good as your gangster directors, and some have filmed theaters with a cost of 50 or 60 million... As a young director, you are absolutely qualified."

It's right to arrive.

Before filming the Lord of the Rings, Fatty Peter had only had the experience of filming ghosts and playing tricks. If Li Xianyun was wearing it before filming the Lord of the Rings, he would have more qualifications than Fatty Peter.

Li Xianyun smiled: "Should I be proud?"

"If you don't want to make progress, you'll be proud."

Li Xianyun laughed: "Is there any more?"

Xuan Dong's face turned a little more: "There is another most important thing, the Dragon Tomb Legend has invested too much."

Li Xianyun was stunned.

Xuan Dongdao: "The size of the Internet is always limited. Currently, the most popular Internet is only about 40 million yuan. Most of the hottest products are only about 20 to 30 million yuan."

Well, that's right.

Li Xianyun realized that he had made another mistake.

I came here six years later. During the period when I came here, the large ceiling of the net has been improved, but at this stage, the industry ceiling is only 30 to 40 million.

Li Xianyun instinctively stubbornly said: "It's okay to have 40 million."

Xuan Dong shook his head: "The problem is that you can't stare at the hottest ones. When doing a business, consider the problem not that I will definitely make hot products, but that I will definitely make products with the highest cost-effectiveness and the least risk. Yes, you have ghosts to reduce costs, but before you catch more ghosts, they can play a limited role in 15 million movies."

Yes, Xuan Dong is right.

Movies are a high-risk, high-yield industry.

For this reason, the ceiling of 40 million online movies means that the reduction in the rate of return without much change in the risks is a cost-effective thing.

Most of the films that won 40 million box offices have only invested more than 10 million, but films with higher investments than them often end up miserably.

At that time, Li Xianyun stubbornly believed that this was because the director was bad, the producer was bad, and the crew was thinking about the money being bad.

But along the way, Li Xianyun gradually realized that what he could see in the small figure stage was always the dark part, and blamed all the losses on these dark factors.

But this is not the case.

Some bad movies are also made with great effort. More reasons for bad movies may be because of cheating money or because of poor strength.

From the perspective of the company, wrong strategic planning is the core!

Just like this time, the real record of ghost learning is a wrong strategic plan from the perspective of corporate operations.

The same is true for the Legend of Dragon Tomb.

It will take 15 million yuan to invest a large amount of Internet investment, but the ceiling is only 30 to 40 million yuan, which itself means an imbalance in cost performance.

Film and television balance high risks through high returns.

Without high returns, there are only high risks left.

Even if Li Xianyun can be confident that the film he made will definitely touch the ceiling, this is the director's thinking, not the boss' thinking.

Being a boss must consider risks and cost-effectiveness!

This is why the director's success is the boss's failure.

Because this type of film is invested in a large market and is a measure of non-commercial thinking!

To put it bluntly, it's just a decision.

Of course, some people may also object - the investment is large and the quality is high, and the chance of touching the ceiling is high.

This is true, so there is a saying that the head is more stable.

But Li Xianyun is different. His investment of 15 million can be as high as others' investment of 20 to 30 million. He doesn't need to be able to keep it to this level - you might as well invest 100 million, isn't it better to get a ceiling of 40 million?

Xuan Dong's reminder also woke Li Xianyun up, but he then said distressedly: "I promised Yu Fei that she would be the heroine who invested in the movie for 15 million yuan."

"Add a five million investment for a woman?" Xuan Dong smiled.

Li Xianyun said distressedly: "I know this is not suitable, but I am not for women, but for promises. I don't like to break my promise."

Xuan Dong disdained: "The big boss doesn't refuse to go back on his word. There is no need to take what he said seriously for the sake of being generous for a while."

Li Xianyun spread his hands: "My dream is not a big boss, and I am not good at business either."

Xuan Dong said seriously: "Who is born good at being a boss? The most terrifying thing is that you don't want to be responsible for it yourself! The founder is the founder. Even if Jiang Zheng makes a big fortune, the soul of the company is still you, Li Xianyun! You can learn slowly if you don't know how to be a boss, but you must be the one who takes the lead in the end."

Listening to Xuan Dong's words, Li Xianyun was stunned for a moment.

I thought that I had taught Dong Zixin a lesson, but I had a little boss thinking. But now he found that he still lacked the sameness as a real boss.
