Chapter 781 A New Generation of Directors: Qingyao Group’s Talent Pool
In the study, after reading the script of the first "Star Wars", Su Yang opened a folder.
There were a lot of information files in it. Su Yang retrieved a few documents, read them carefully, and then started to think.
"Star Wars" is one of Qingyao Group's largest IPs. Once this IP is successfully operated, it will be a big IP for decades to come.
For such an IP, on the one hand, the choice of actors must be cautious. In addition to the actors, the director is also the most important.
Su Yang wanted to choose a director who was not too old and who had to be capable and competent for the job.
In this way, the director of many future "Star Wars" films may not change, maintaining a stable style.
Maintaining a stable style is crucial for the "Star Wars" series. Once the IP is established with the same style in the first few films, the rest will be easy.
After thinking seriously for a long time, Su Yang finally clicked on a piece of information.
In the years since Qingyao Group's rise, it has also paid great attention to the cultivation of talents, including director talents.
The person in Su Yang's hands is also considered to be a relatively outstanding talent.
Ding Mo is only twenty-six years old this year, but he is an outstanding talent.
Ding Mo's father is a director. Ding Mo liked photography when he was a child and took pictures of many things at a young age.
At the age of sixteen, he was admitted to the directing department of Yanying University with excellent grades. The science fiction short film he shot in college even won an award.
After graduating from university at the age of 20, he began to venture into the circle.
However, in the past few years, Ding Mo has not produced any outstanding films.
Ding Mo joined Qingyao Group three years ago. After joining Qingyao Group, he participated in the production of many films and served as an assistant director.
At this age, it’s already great to be able to serve as an assistant director.
Although Ding Mo has not actually directed a film of his own in recent years, he has learned a lot while serving as an assistant director.
At the age of 26, he is already very successful in his career. After all, at the age of 26, those who can earn over one million yuan a year based on their own abilities are all very outstanding talents.
I was deeply impressed by Ding Mo Suyang because this young man had his own ideas and had become quite capable after several years of training.
At the same time, Ding Mo also likes to shoot science fiction themes and is quite interested in science fiction themes.
Early the next morning, Su Yang called the human resources department.
"Boss Su, you're looking for me."
After receiving the news, Ding Mo hurried to Su Yang's office.
Su Yang is Ding Mo's idol, and Ding Mo has been studying hard.
Ding Mo looks like a very shy boy, with an ordinary appearance and not handsome. But he is quite tall, a full 1.9 meters tall.
Her skin is quite fair, but her eyes are a little small. She looks shy and cute when she smiles.
"Well, come, sit..."
Su Yang said with a smile, and Ding Mo nodded. Su Yang was very approachable in the company, and besides, the two of them were not much different in age.
So Su Yang is very talkative with the young employees in the company.
“I’ve been in the company for three years now.”
Su Yang asked with a smile, and Ding Mo nodded.
He has been in the company for three years. Although he has never been able to actually make a film, he has learned a huge amount in the past three years.
I can learn a lot and have many opportunities within Qingyao Group. If I were to work at another company, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had so many opportunities at the age of 36.
"Would you like to direct a film yourself?"
Su Yang asked with a smile, which made Ding Mo's eyes light up.
"Here, I'll give you a script. Take it home and read it first. After you finish reading it, think about it and see if you can shoulder this responsibility."
Su Yang directly handed the script of the first "Star Wars" to Ding Mo. Ding Mo swallowed his saliva after reading the script.
He didn't expect that he would have such a great opportunity in the new year.
"Boss Su, I'll finish reading it as soon as possible."
Ding Mo nodded.
"Don't worry. I'll give you three days. Come to my office at this time."
Su Yang said with a smile, Ding Mo nodded, carefully put away the script and left Su Yang's office.
Ding Mo returned to his office. Ding Mo's office was an independent room. As an old employee who had been working there for three years, he was already qualified to have his own office.
What's more, Qingyao Group has many offices, and with one room per person, there are still many rooms left.
Sitting in his seat, turning on some light music, Ding Mo opened the script and began to read it carefully.
When Ding Mo saw the words "Star Wars", he knew that this was a science fiction script.
Ding Mo read the script carefully, and became more and more fascinated. As he read, many scenes appeared in his mind.
Before I knew it, more than two hours had passed.
Ding Mo also finished reading the entire script, and after reading it, Ding Mo felt uneasy for a long time.
This movie is so shocking, the scenes are so grand, it's a big production.
Such a big production made Ding Mo excited but also cautious. This was an opportunity, but if he messed up the show, Ding Mo would feel guilty.
Within Qingyao Group, everyone is quite competitive with each other.
This virtuous cycle makes everyone more motivated.
Lying on the chair, listening to light music, Ding Mo closed his eyes, carefully recalling the contents of the script, and many pictures began to emerge in his mind.
If I were to shoot it myself, how should I shoot it, how should I arrange the scene, and how should I use the lens.
After closing his eyes and resting for more than an hour, Ding Mo opened the script again and started reading.
For three days, Ding Mo seemed to be possessed by a demon.
Read the script once, then close your eyes and start thinking.
After you’ve thought about it, read the script again.
The longer it took to read the script, the more images appeared in Ding Mo's mind.
To make a film, you need to have a sense of image first. Without it, you can’t make a good film. Ding Mo is relatively young, and his thinking is completely different from that of some older directors.
What he thinks about is more in line with the tastes of young people, such as what are the cooler elements, how to shoot a picture that young people will like, etc.
Three days passed, and Ding Mo came to Su Yang's office again with the script. He looked much more haggard, but there was light in Ding Mo's eyes.
"Think it through carefully"
Su Yang asked with a smile.
"Well, Mr. Su, I want to try..."
Ding Mo nodded, with fighting spirit in his eyes.
"Okay, I'll leave this movie to you. The budget is 1 billion RMB, and you have the final say on how to shoot it."
Su Yang's words made Ding Mo swallow his saliva.
This is the courage of Qingyao Group. They can boldly hand over the budget of 1 billion RMB to the director to manage.
If it were in other companies, a billion-dollar investment would probably require a large team to oversee the funds, but Qingyao Media does not have that.
But this does not mean that there is no supervision. Ding Mo knows that if he does something that breaks the rules, this movie may be his last movie at Qingyao Media. If he breaks the rules, he will be kicked out of Qingyao Group and even out of the entire circle.
