Chapter 576: Poaching Ability

To be honest, although Haina has performed very well in recent years, it is far from being as amazing as it was in previous years. In previous years, all scripts were reviewed by Yang Dongxu himself, and he even wrote the scripts himself occasionally.

So no matter whether it is a movie or a TV series, it is a big hit. In addition, every song he released is popular, and Li Zongsheng's ability is there. Therefore, the entire Haina Company, whether it is the film and television department or the record department, has never failed to sell anything and make anyone popular.

But in the past two years, as Yang Dongxu began to relax the management of Haina, he no longer asked about the company's self-made dramas or the movies and TV series invested by others. Haina Company has gradually performed more normally. Although it still makes much more money than it loses, it is no longer like before when everyone can only look up to it as a myth.

However, although he does not personally intervene in the works of Haina Company, Yang Dongxu will occasionally leave some popular TV series or movies when he thinks of them. If the company does not invest, let others invest.

Therefore, although Haina's performance in recent years is not so demonic, its chances of making money from its products are still far higher than its peers. Therefore, other entertainment companies are still being rubbed on the ground by Haina.

In the entire Asian entertainment market, except for Japan's self-proclaimed system, the rest are basically being rubbed on the ground by Haina. However, after this year, these companies that have been rubbed on the ground can breathe a sigh of relief. Because Haina has focused its entire development focus on overseas since this year, although the Asian market will also be taken seriously, the intensity is obviously not as great as before.

The wrap-up banquet was not held in Hong Kong, but in the mainland, and in HS City, Anhui Province, Yang Dongxu's hometown. Although Hong Kong and Taiwan stars are still the main force in the Asian entertainment market, in order to promote the development of the mainland entertainment market.

In addition to occasionally inserting some suitable mainland newcomers into some crews, and investing in movies and TV series shot in the mainland, Yang Dongxu will also try to pull some crews to the mainland.

However, Hengdian has not yet been completed, and other mainland film and television circles are relatively backward. Therefore, the crew will encounter many problems when shooting in the mainland, such as the crowd actors cannot always follow the crew around the country. Sometimes, every time we go to a place to shoot, recruiting extras is a problem.

The wrap-up party was undoubtedly extra lively because of the arrival of the mysterious boss Yang Dongxu, and even several leading actors and directors were a little bit unbelievable. Because their boss is particularly mysterious within the company, they have seen him less and less in the past two years. Who would have thought that he would come directly to the wrap-up party of this drama? This is a wrap-up party, not a celebration party.

But after a moment of hesitation, many people were ecstatic. The legend that their boss is a golden finger is spreading throughout the entertainment industry. All TV series or movies invested by him, or those that he reviewed and decided to invest in, and the scripts he wrote are all popular.

Originally, because the shooting cost was much higher than expected, and the leading actors were basically unknown young actors, the directors and producers who were worried that the cost could not be recovered were instantly given a shot of heart.

Of course, it was at this time that they learned that this drama was also personally ordered by the big boss, which was undoubtedly another surprise. In fact, there was nothing the company's top management could do to hide the fact that Yang Dongxu personally ordered the drama.

Because the scripts invested by Haina in the past two years have made some losses and some profits. Although it is still making a lot of money, the performance is still normal. Therefore, the incident of Haina's scripts being snatched by others has eased a little.

Unlike the previous two years, for any script that Haina is optimistic about, there is no need for the script writer to say anything. As long as the four words "Haina likes" are announced to the outside, the price of the script will instantly increase by four or five times, and even ten times.

If the four words "Xiao Xu selected" are added after the four words "Haina likes", it will be even more incredible. Other entertainment companies will have to get involved even if they are trying their best.

Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in Haina, that is, the scripts selected by Yang Dongxu will no longer be announced to the public. Whether it is shooting or in the middle, he will not participate or visit the set to supervise. Everything will follow the normal procedure.

When some dramas are finished, Yang Dongxu will occasionally appear. One is naturally to encourage the actors he personally participated in selecting, and the other is also a kind of hype.

At least Yang Dongxu attended the wrap-up banquet of TV series or movies. When selling to TV stations or showing in cinemas, both the price given by TV stations and the screening rate of cinemas are higher.

So sometimes Luo Wenhua joked: "When the big boss has nothing to do, he should attend the wrap-up banquet of the company's film and television dramas, or just put his name behind some records. In this way, there is no need to wait for market testing, and the investment money is basically recovered."

"How about it, are you interested in coming to Haina?" At the wrap-up banquet, Yang Dongxu, who was sitting at the main table, naturally attracted much attention. At this time, he raised his wine glass and asked Li Tiansheng, the director of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" as if jokingly.

Speaking of Li Tiansheng, perhaps many people don't know him, because he is not a famous or well-known director. But when it comes to TVB producers, Tian Ge is definitely the best in the circle.

Since he joined TVB in 1969, he has served TVB for 26 years and has participated in the production of dozens of films. He is definitely an experienced and capable general. Although Haina has become more and more famous in the past two years, the film and television department has recruited many talents, both directors and screenwriters, but how can there be too much talent?

"Haha." Li Tiansheng laughed when he heard Yang Dongxu's words.

Yang Dongxu smiled inexplicably, and the people at the main table were also a little confused, so they all looked at him.

After laughing for a long time and finally suppressing the uncontrollable emotions in his heart, Li Tiansheng said: "My boss told me during the filming that Yang Dongxu is a talented, capable and responsible guy who is very suitable for being a friend.

But this kid has a problem, that is, he hugs every good thing he sees. You should be careful when you go to the mainland to film a movie, otherwise the movie will be filmed for others and the person will become Haina's. "

Li Tiansheng imitated Boss Shao's tone and movements, and the atmosphere at the main table suddenly became silent. Then many people showed expressions on their faces that they wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh, and they were struggling to hold it in.

Yang Dongxu has a skill in the industry that is comparable to his ability to write scripts and songs. This skill is poaching.

Throughout Haina, except for him, the big boss, and Fu Decai, the second boss, almost all the members were poached from other companies. When I was just making records at the beginning, I started looking for recording engineers, writers, and producers.

After filming movies and TV series, they start poaching actors, directors, screenwriters, and even crew members cannot escape bad luck. Often after a drama is finished filming, there are always a few people who originally only collaborated with the crew sent by other companies to become part of Heiner. This makes many people guard against Heiner like a thief when they talk about cooperating with him in film and television productions.

Therefore, there is a popular saying in the circle: "Hainer is what he is today. There is no doubt about Xiaoxu's talent, and this talent is divided into two parts, one is creative talent, and the other is-the ability to poach people."

"Knowing pearls with a keen eye is also a kind of ability, isn't it?" Yang Dongxu touched his nose in embarrassment.

"Poaching" is also one of the main reasons why Heiner is today. Although it is a joke, it is also true, and he has no reason to refute it. After all, Hainer does not have his own training class.

The development of mainland actors is indeed lagging behind that of Hong Kong and Taiwan. At this time, he does not recruit people, but slowly trains them himself. He doesn't know how long it will take to reap the rewards.

"Yes, yes, it is indeed an ability." Li Tiansheng nodded, and others nodded in agreement.

But no matter how much I nod my head, I still can't help but want to laugh. The ability to discern pearls with a discerning eye is indeed a kind of ability, and it is a good ability. After all, horses with a thousand lima are common but Bole is not. But I don’t know why everyone always feels like laughing when Yang Dongxu uses his Bole ability.

"Just laugh if you want to, be careful not to cause internal injuries." Looking at the expressions of the people on the table, Yang Dongxu said helplessly. This 'poaching' hat may have to be worn on his head for the rest of his life.

Seeing the depressed look on Yang Dongxu's face, the people at the table couldn't help laughing anymore. This smile made the distance that was originally a bit large due to the difference in status instantly narrowed a lot.

When they mentioned Xiaoxu before, they all felt like they were looking up to a god. Now they feel that their big boss is actually quite easy to get along with.

"When will the TV series be released?" Yang Dongxu asked after calming down the atmosphere.

"The Hong Kong side is scheduled for the end of July. We are still negotiating when to release it in the Mainland." Li Tiansheng said.

When talking about this drama, his expression became serious. As a director, he knew very well the quality of this drama. He felt that this drama would definitely be a hit.

But whether the director believes that the audience will buy into a drama that is a big hit is another matter. After all, all directors feel that what they shoot is very good and perfect, otherwise they would not be sure to start editing after filming and get it to be released on TV stations.

So I think it's useless, just like parents looking at their own children. No matter how naughty or mischievous they are, they are still their own children. The tolerance level is obviously different. Therefore, whether a drama is good or not has to be tested by the market, and Li Tiansheng is undoubtedly a little unsure in this regard. After all, the leading actors in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are all newcomers who are not well-known.

"It doesn't matter to me if Mr. Shao arranges it over in Hong Kong. I'll try my best to coordinate on the mainland side so that both sides can play it at the same time." Yang Dongxu pondered and said.

Despite the existence of Haina, there is still a big gap between the TV series or movies broadcast in the mainland and Hong Kong and Taiwan. For example, the current film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was filmed in 1995 and was ready to be released in Hong Kong at the end of July.

But this drama was actually released in mainland China in 1997 or early 1998. Yang Han couldn't remember the exact time, but it must have been two years later.

Although such a large time gap is related to the different social environments of the two places, in the final analysis, the mainland review is too complicated and conservative.

This is very detrimental to the development of the film and television bureau, because everything is seen two years later than people in Hong Kong and Taiwan, which is equivalent to newcomers being two years behind Hong Kong and Taiwan in terms of some concepts of the film and television bureau.

For example, a newcomer who wants to be a director is still in school and does not have the ability to access first-hand information from Hong Kong and Taiwan. He can only collect and learn from some popular TV series or movies to speculate on the current fashion and popular elements.

But these collected and learned things seem very advanced and useful in the mainland, because this TV series and movie are now being released. But the actual situation is that these are things that others have brought out two years ago, and now they have newer things.

So in the later generations of the fourth and fifth generations of directors in the mainland, except for a few talented ones who stand out. The others always feel like they are copying others. It was not until the sixth generation of the Internet was developed, and the mainland encouraged the development of entertainment culture and further liberalized policies, that the directors in the mainland emerged one by one.

Therefore, information asymmetry is also one of the major reasons for the backwardness of the mainland, not only in the film and television bureau, but also in other aspects.

For example, because of the technology blockade, many of the technologies that China can buy are obsolete technologies. When they sell you obsolete technologies, they already have several generations of new technologies in their hands.

You research on backward technologies, and when you develop the second generation of technology, others use the third generation of technology. When you research the third generation, others use the fourth generation of technology. No matter how you research, you are always suppressed by others. In this case, it is obviously inappropriate to continue research step by step. We must identify the direction and accelerate to catch up, otherwise we will be led by the nose all our lives.
