Chapter 1005 We are short of money and people!
At the same time, Titanic also successfully obtained the extension key and was released one month later.
As soon as the news came out, the audience was ecstatic at first, because the postponement of the film's release meant that the audience could arrange their viewing time more calmly and would not worry about missing out on this good movie because they could not get tickets.
But what followed was the collapse of the filmmakers.
Although everyone had expected this, given the quality, box office and positive reviews of the movie "Titanic", as long as the application was submitted, it was almost a sure thing that the extension key would be successfully obtained.
Originally, the application threshold for the extension key was not high - especially for a box office miracle like Lin Fan, it was as easy as drinking water.
Because the decision of whether a movie needs a key extension is mainly based on the opinions of the movie copyright holder, and the reference factors mainly come from the "popularity" of the movie in the market.
For domestic films that have obtained screening licenses, as long as the film performs well at the box office, the film copyright authorities can inform the key maker to re-produce the key for an extension.
It is worth mentioning that there is no regulation on the number of times the key for each film can be extended, and most films are only extended once.
Of course, there are also movies that have been postponed twice. The longest postponement in China was a movie that was postponed for three months. However, due to the poor box office performance, the movie was criticized and did not last for three months. It was quietly withdrawn after more than two months.
Lin Fan didn't want that this time, as it would squeeze the competitive space of other films too much, so he chose to postpone it for a month.
But this is for China. There is no need to be polite to overseas markets. The extension should be extended as long as possible to make back all the money that can be earned.
After all, whether it is a new movie or the Honghuang World Amusement Park plan, it will require a lot of capital investment.
Besides, Lin Fan still has a company to support! After being used to spending money lavishly, he suddenly had to be tight on money and wanted to spend every penny carefully. Not only Yang Hongxia was not used to it, Lin Fan himself was not used to it either.
This is also the biggest reason why Lin Fan waved his whip and urged Liang Wen, Li Xiaodong, and even Zhou Xiang to make money for the company: the company has supported you for so long, it's your turn to repay the company!
It's just that what Lin Fan thought of as "exploitation" fell into the eyes of others. It was indeed God who brought a full banquet to Li Xiaodong and Zhou Xiang and personally fed the entire table of food into their stomachs.
Moreover, Lin Fan was not satisfied with the sumptuous Man Han banquet and planned to continue adding more dishes to the two guys, with a momentum that he would not stop until they were stuffed to death.
Lin Fan spent a week putting together two scripts, one for a TV series and one for a movie, and handed them over to Yang Hongxia.
"The movie is prepared for Zhou Xiang. You can discuss it with Director Liang. It mainly depends on whether Zhou Xiang has reached that state. If Zhou Xiang is in good condition, the movie can be arranged this year. If the condition is average, I suggest you wait."
Lin Fan is a professional when it comes to film, so Yang Hongxia naturally won't confront him: "I understand. I will keep a close eye on Zhou Xiang's condition, and will communicate with Director Liang about the filming plan. Just go and shoot your blockbuster without worrying about us."
If there is anything that cannot be resolved, I will contact you again.
As for the other script, Lin Fan had more to say: "This script is a group drama. Didn't our company recruit several new actresses? If you think they are suitable, assign them roles to test their skills.
If the level is good, I have a script for a palace drama, a female ensemble drama, and I can arrange it then."
Yang Hongxia's eyes lit up when she heard this: "You have already written the script for the palace drama?"
This is a pleasant surprise.
Yang Hongxia had always felt that no matter how talented Lin Fan was, it would still be difficult for him to write a script about women's intrigue.
Especially in palace fighting dramas, there are so many little thoughts hidden in one sentence that people with slow brains may not be able to react. Even if they react, they may not be able to take it on. Even if they do, they don’t know how many traps are waiting for you.
In short, it is both trivial and complicated, and every line needs to be carefully thought out. Besides, three women make a play, not to mention that the palace fighting play is full of women, it is simply a big play! Lin Fan had said a long time ago that he had a script for the palace fighting drama, but he had never written it. Yang Hongxia thought that Lin Fan was also stumped by this script, and was very considerate and never urged Lin Fan - mainly because other scripts had not been interrupted, and there was no shortage of this script.
But now Lin Fan actually said that he has finished writing the script for a palace fighting drama, which is really a surprise.
Lin Fan looked at Yang Hongxia's excitement and couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on her: "I have written the script, but Sister Xia, do you have so many artists under you who can perform?"
You know, a palace drama needs at least a dozen actresses to support it. Otherwise, an emperor's harem can't even gather a dozen concubines. How shabby would that be? "Uh..."
Yang Hongxia was speechless after being asked by Lin Fan, but she couldn't help but refute: "It's impossible for all the actors in a drama to be ours, right? If so, how can we support so many artists when there are no dramas to shoot?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Even if we don't use all our own people, at least the main characters should be our own people, right? Just tell me, can our company's artists get together a main character group?"
Yang Hongxia was once again speechless after being rebuked by Lin Fan: "...My fault, I will try harder to recruit a few more artists into the company."
It’s just that young people nowadays are different from those in previous years. They would rather take part in auditions and variety shows to get a chance to become famous in a short period of time, rather than working hard and moving up step by step.
Those who are willing to be down-to-earth always have some small flaws that Yang Hongxia dislikes. In short, it is really difficult to choose a suitable artist.
But this is not something Lin Fan has to worry about: "Anyway, I've given you the script. Either don't shoot it, or if you do, you have to maximize our interests. After all, in the next few years, we are short of money and people!"
The lack of money is easy to understand, but the lack of people is because Lin Fan needs more works in the Honghuang series to support the construction of the entire Honghuang World Amusement Park.
So, yes, the next few years will be the comprehensive and rapid development stage of Earthling Studio. Not only Lin Fan himself, but the entire Earthling Studio must keep up with this development speed and launch more and more popular works!
