Chapter 609
When he woke up, Li Qian was still alive and well.
But Xie Bing's whole body was sore and limp, as if he couldn't open his eyes.
After Li Qian got up and washed, he pressed Xie Bing who was struggling to get up and cook, and let her continue to sleep. While going out for a run and exercising, he bought breakfast and came back. Seeing that she was sleeping soundly again, he simply Instead of calling her, he simply ate breakfast by himself, left the rest on the dining table for her, left a note telling her to warm it up before eating, and then drove out.
It is said that nothing happened today.
After forty-three days of filming, "My Sassy Girlfriend" has been completely wrapped up. Li Qian's initial schedule for this film is the next Valentine's Day, but it's only September, and February 14th Valentine's Day, there are still more than five months, and the time is still long.
Moreover, the post-production work of this film is not complicated. When shooting, all the shots were calculated in my mind, and there were not many redundant materials. In addition, I already had a good template for reference. , so editing is also easy. If you simply close the small black room for editing, it will take about ten days a week, which is enough to complete the first cut. All the post-work is added together, which is about less than a month's work!
It is definitely rare that the post-production work is so simple, but considering Li Qian's advantage, it is not surprising-ordinary directors think that every shot is useful because of the exquisite production of the film, so It is extremely difficult to cut, and although the TV drama is very long, it is easy to film and edit because it does not pay attention to details, but for Li Qian, it is just the opposite!
Shooting a well-produced TV series like "Legend of the White Snake" is an extremely heavy workload for him. Shooting and producing a two-hour love movie like "My Sassy Girlfriend" is very difficult for him. But it can only be regarded as a trivial matter - just relying on the vague picture memory and some subconscious thoughts left after watching the original version, it is enough to support him to complete such a romantic light comedy.
If the difficulty of the 40-hour-long "Legend of the New White Snake" in the official version is 80, then the difficulty of "My Sassy Girlfriend" is at best 20 or 30. Farewell My Concubine, a drama in which every shot, every performance, every expression, and even every piece of clothing and every sentence is extremely elegant, is the real huge test.
Therefore, when he was free, Li Qian would also feel itchy, thinking that since he wanted to push it to others but couldn't push it, he should just do it himself, but when he thought about it carefully, he always suppressed these thoughts.
He knew that the current self couldn't make such a big show well!
If you insist on taking pictures, it would be a waste!
Because their difficulty can no longer be quantified with numerical values. If you have to quantify it, it will only explode!
The filming of "My Sassy Girl" is over, the actors go home, and the staff can enjoy the next period of vacation from today, and I don't have to be busy and immediately devote myself to post-editing and production , so, in fact, today can be very free.
Moreover, after more than 40 days at a stretch, supporting a film crew and completing the filming of a film alone consumes a lot of energy and physical strength. Even with Li Qian's physical fitness, he will feel abnormally exhausted. I also know that I need to rest for a few days.
However, he still insisted on waking up early and exercising.
Then, before nine o'clock, the company's employees had already driven to the company before they arrived.
Of course, today's work is relatively leisurely.
Inspection, chat, nonsense.
Today's Minghu Culture is already a large company that spans multiple fields in variety shows and entertainment. Needless to say, music records, variety shows, TV dramas, movies, brokerages, etc. are also beginning to take shape, and Liu Mei is in charge The performance department to be established has already begun to take shape.
Although Li Qian is the shopkeeper, he can't ignore it completely.
In the past, Li Qian only bought the eighth and ninth floors of this building, but before and after the completion of the shareholding restructuring, Li Qian has already bought the remaining few floors in one go, and renamed the building "Minghu Building" Yes, so in the past year, every time a company's lease contract expired, Li Qian stopped renewing the contract with others. Up to now, several floors have been vacated one after another, and they are being renovated one after another.
The brokerage department, as well as the newly established performance department, are located on the sixth floor. At the same time, some lighting, stage beauty, make-up, back-up dancers, musicians, sound engineers, etc., who have recently recruited and signed contracts in the performance department, have their offices, rehearsals and rest places on the sixth floor.
After Li Qian came to the company, he only stayed in his office for a while before deciding to go to the sixth floor to have a look.
After several years of neglected obscurity, this time it was suddenly taken seriously again. Liu Mei seemed to realize that the past had passed, so she burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm, so it only took two or three months. At that time, the performance department had already taken shape by her.
It was only nine o'clock, and the entire sixth floor was already bustling.
Hearing that Li Qian was coming, Liu Mei came out of a rehearsal room and smiled from a distance: "Boss, do you finally want to come and see us?"
Li Qian smiled, "I'll just see, what are you busy with!"
That being said, Li Qian finally came to the sixth floor, how could Liu Mei not accompany him? At that moment, she turned around and briefly explained a few words, and then showed Li Qian around.
Minghu Culture has been making music for several years, and there are many talents in the company who have jumped over from some old record companies. The performance department is preparing to be established. Liu Mei started quickly and ruthlessly, and quickly poached a few people from several large performance companies. So in terms of talent pool, it is still enough.
The decoration of the entire sixth floor is the plan that they, a group of professionals, discussed with the designer, which naturally suits their wishes the most—in terms of Li Qian's performance experience, he is actually a half-layman.
Looking at the dance rehearsal room, joint practice room, and meeting room one by one, Li Qian found that he had nothing to say, because they had done everything he could think of.
In addition, Li Qian's visit was considered to be an inspection, and the ongoing rehearsal in the performance department was a bit chaotic. Everyone greeted their bosses and idols one after another. For a while, Li Qian felt quite embarrassed, so he simply took a look and told everyone If you rehearse well, you will be decisive.
Liu Mei chased into the elevator instead, and said, "Old Zou has stuck with several of my people, and the contract cannot be negotiated, can you tell him for me? He just doesn't want to sign a long-term contract, so let's sign it for one year first. As long as we have a smooth road here, they will have jobs and earn money here, so why worry about the other party not wanting to renew their contract?"
Li Qian nodded when he heard the words, thought for a while, and said: "The reason is correct, but what to do specifically, you go to discuss with Lao Zou, even if you two quarrel, I don't care. But now these two pieces belong to you two Don't mind, I can't intervene, otherwise it's easy to get sidetracked!"
Liu Mei was helpless when she heard the words, and stretched out her hands to rub her brows with some headaches.
In the past few years, Liu Mei has always been very low-key. Apart from being He Runqing's manager, although she also holds the title of deputy manager in the brokerage department, she only does some auxiliary work in a well-regulated way, and never fights for power. In the brokerage department, Sun Meimei took the lead first, followed by Zou Wenhuai.
But in fact, He Runqing was already popular all over the country when he was less than 20 years old, and he has debuted for more than ten years. The title of ten-year queen is not self-proclaimed, and Liu Mei, as the only manager of her singer career so far, followed her so For many years, no matter in terms of connections, status in the circle, or his own ability, he was not inferior to Zou Wenhuai at all, or even surpassed.
Now that Li Qian entrusted her with the preparation of the performance department, he made it clear that he was going to reuse her again. Zou Wenhuai might not deliberately suppress or fight with her, but once Liu Mei stood up to do things, the two of them would There are overlaps and intersections between the two businesses. It would be strange if there were no contradictions between the two!
But still the same sentence, these things, don't say that Li Qian doesn't care, Qi Jie doesn't care either.
On the one hand, Zou Wenhuai's ability is reliable, and people can be trusted. On the other hand, Liu Mei's ability must also be guaranteed. The conflict between the two is just a deviation in the way they think about things.
Of course Li Qian can intervene, it's only a matter of one sentence, but he would rather let the two of them sit down and discuss it by themselves, and finally come up with a plan that both of them can accept - the so-called not wanting to be biased is just a statement, In fact, it is more important to build up this system of mutual restraint from the very beginning.
When there are only a few or a dozen people in the company, all things are handled by one person arbitrarily. Of course, it is indispensable in the early stage of the company's development. It can also lead a company to avoid detours, reduce internal friction, and develop rapidly, but the company It has developed to the current scale of Minghu Culture, which spans multiple fields and has hundreds of people working at the same time. It is no longer the time for one person to act arbitrarily and make decisions.
Therefore, as early as last year, when it came to discussing Xie Mingyuan and Zou Wenhuai as deputy general managers, Qi Jie and Li Qian had already discussed - decentralization of power, mutual restraint of various departments, and the general manager was only responsible for the general framework and The big direction, the details, unless there is an obvious deviation in the direction, don't intervene anymore!
Specifically, when Xie Mingyuan and Zou Wenhuai were promoted, the three general managers of the company, Xie Mingyuan focused on music and records, Zou Wenhuai focused on brokers, artists, distribution, and performances, and Qi Jie was the boss. The project that the core is responsible for turns to film and television.
If the Minghu culture three to five years ago was just a small tree planted by Li Qian and Qi Jie, then a few years later, this small tree has already grown into a forest.
It is gratifying to look at, but the management of zoning is imperative.
…………
In the planned Minghu Building, the eighth floor is the administrative center and recording studio. The theme of the music department is also here. The ninth floor is the film and television department and the company's leisure center. The seventh floor is the special effects department, and the sixth floor is the performance department and rehearsals. Center, the fifth floor is the catering and sports center. The current tenants on the third and fourth floors have not moved out. When the other party’s contract expires, the floors will be vacated, and the construction needs to be started. Fortunately, the fourth floor will be temporarily used as a conference center and conference center after renovation In the reception department, the third floor is planned to build Minghu Culture's own video center, which is mainly provided for the next series of variety shows that do not require a big stage, mainly "Ruoxuan is Coming".
In short, if you can build it yourself, don't send it to someone else's house.
Besides, even the second floor can be used for some professional training.
As for the first floor, because the floor height is the highest, in addition to the entrance and exit hall to be reserved, the current plan is to separate a medium-sized stage-style recording studio at any time, and there is enough space to make a studio that can accommodate hundreds of people. The big conference room that was there at the same time - that's what the press conference is for.
Of course, at present, many reconstruction plans are still on paper. At present, the five floors, 5, 6, 7, 89, above, are mainly used by Minghu Culture in Minghu Building.
After taking the elevator to the ninth floor, watching Liu Mei take the elevator down again, Li Qian turned around with a smile and entered the film and television department.
Kim Han is still busy with the later stages of "Meteor Garden".
When Li Qian opened the door and entered, he saw Han Shunzhang was there, and he couldn't help but wondered, "Brother Han, why don't you rest at home?"
Han Shunzhang smiled and said: "I'm idle, I'm idle, I came to see Senior Brother Jin doing the post-production. Anyway, even when I was on the set, I wasn't too tired, so I have nothing to rest!"
Li Qian smiled and nodded knowingly.
In other words, didn't I come to the company without a break all day?
It's just that Han Shunzhang may not have meant it, but inside and outside the words, there is still a feeling of unwillingness to be lonely.
Li Qian persuaded him with a thick stack of sub-cameras back then, and not long after, he became the first employee of the Minghu Culture Film and Television Department, which was founded hastily, and he even brought his wife to join in!
Li Qian filmed "Legend of the White Snake", he was the executive producer and the chief steward of the crew, Jin Han filmed "On the Road", he was the executive producer, when "Meteor Garden" started filming, although he was promoted, Remove the word "execution", a legitimate producer, but the problem is... still a producer!
You know, he is a graduate student from the Directing Department of Shuncheon Film Academy!
In terms of the film industry, this is definitely a high degree of education!
Moreover, he has been studying in the Film Academy for seven years, and he is rushing to become a film director!
Seeing one film after another of Minghu Culture from preparation to filming, and then to broadcast or release, how could he not be envious?
Finally, Li Qian's new movie started shooting. He finally gave up the executive producer's position to Huang Wenjuan and became an assistant director. He was one step closer to directing. Even during the filming process, he could feel, Li Qian seemed to be cultivating himself intentionally, and left many unimportant shots to himself to shoot. Once the passion in his heart was touched, he couldn't help but feel itchy.
…………
Li Qian sat down, chatted with Jin Han, asked about the current progress, chatted with Liu Liuqing, and several other staff members, and then came out with Han Shunzhang, walked outside the door, He said with a smile: "Go back and have a good rest. After half a month, I will start preparing for "Princess Returning the Pearl", and you will be my assistant director, but this time, you need to be in charge of more shots, so you must keep your spirits up." Just do it!"
As expected, Han Shunzhang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said immediately: "No problem!"
…………
The innermost part of the film and television department on the ninth floor is the site of the screenwriter team.
Because of the arrival of several screenwriters, the place has gradually become lively in recent months.
Li Qian's assignment to the screenwriter team of the film and television department is very simple. Each contracted screenwriter must submit a personal work to the company every year, which will be reviewed by Li Qian, Han Shunzhang and Jin Han respectively. There is no limit, and it can be a movie or a TV series. After the review is passed, it will be archived by the company. In the future, the company will make new films, and it will give priority to selecting materials from this archive. Besides, Li Qian will Send out an outline for the screenwriters to discuss, and then divide the tasks and create collectively.
The job of screenwriter has a very special aspect. It is a desk job, but to a certain extent, their work cannot be planned according to the established procedures, and in terms of management, it is also the most loose among all departments of Minghu Culture. of.
If there is a meeting, notify in advance, then everyone must come to work at nine in the morning. If there is no meeting, no one will care about you, as long as you complete the set tasks and earn the minimum points of the current month and the year , you can continue to stay in the company to get that not low salary.
Moreover, the copyright of the personal works you submit still belongs to you. If the company wants to use or sell it, the money is yours. You just need to hand over the agency rights to the company for operation.
Therefore, the situation on the screenwriting team is usually that after ten o'clock in the morning, they come to work one by one. When they arrive at the company, they make a cup of coffee or tea by themselves in the small living room of the screenwriting team. Everyone began to talk nonsense, all over the world, big and small, national economy and people's livelihood, gossip and gossip, there is no one who doesn't talk, chatting, maybe someone suddenly has some ideas, and hides in his computer I started writing manuscripts a few days ago. If I have no inspiration and no tasks, everyone will just chat every day.
The key point is that when the screenwriting team was first established, Li Qian would come up to chat with these brothers and sisters when he had time, so that the staff on other floors of the same company had no choice but to "dare to speak out". I'm just very envious of these pens.
Of course, when it's their turn to work, this group of people must be the hardest.
Before the filming of "My Sassy Girlfriend" started, Li Qian assigned two tasks.
One is that there is already a clear main line and character settings, and the screenwriter team is required to fill in the details. It is a TV series called "Carrying Love Through to the End". According to his style and thinking, the screenwriting team continued to write this script. Simply put, it can be called a series, and its name is "Bao Qingtian".
Everyone has just joined the job not long ago. To be honest, none of them have any solid works or achievements. At this time, no one dares to slack off when they receive the task. A few who are good at emotional dramas and urban dramas focus on "Carrying Love Through to the End", and the others are responsible for collecting all the case-solving stories in history that can hook up with Mr. Bao Zheng and Mr. Bao, and sort out a rough outline for the next creation. ideas to facilitate subsequent collective creation.
Then, suddenly, no one envied them.
Because this group of people began to work overtime until two or three o'clock at night, and not one or two slept in the office!
In fact, when Li Qian finished filming "My Sassy Girl" and returned to his office for the first time today, these two scripts were already on the table, but Li Qian hadn't had time to read them yet.
And when he came up today, he didn't rush for tasks, and he didn't want to conceive, he just came up to find these brothers and sisters to talk nonsense-maybe in the current domestic film and television circles, the profession of screenwriting is not paid much attention, except for a few big Except for coffee, most screenwriters are relatively hard-working, but in Li Qian's heart, he always attaches great importance to screenwriting.
Because in the past and present, countless positive or negative examples have fully proved that a good movie first comes from a good story, and a good story comes from a good screenwriter.
