So... does this count as 'two flowers blooming' for me?
Sitting in the general manager's office, Xu Lu thought to himself after seeing off a job applicant who was applying for a producer position.
That's right!
Just a few days ago he was worried about not being able to recruit anyone, but now he has people to choose from.
In fact, after he mentioned in his live stream yesterday that he was recruiting, the results were surprisingly good.
His assistant, Zhao Ting, told him that there were dozens of private messages from people wanting to apply for the producer position.
After she had these people submit their resumes and leave detailed personal information, she weeded out a group of those who had been making a fuss.
Even so, seven or eight fans who were genuinely interested remained.
Unfortunately, a few people's resumes clearly lacked experience as producers, so we had to politely decline their applications.
Although Xu Lu also felt that using "lack of work experience" to reject someone was not a good reason.
However, he is in a hurry and doesn't have the time to train new people.
Perhaps once the first film of 'Da Xu Culture' is completed, the company will no longer need to impose these restrictions.
Xu Lu will recruit more inexperienced but quick-witted newcomers to cultivate his talent pool...
Thump!
Knock knock!
Lost in thought, I heard another knock on the office door from the outside.
Xu Lu snapped out of his daze and casually called out, "Come in." Soon, a young man walked in from outside.
"Hello Mr. Xu, I am Feng Xiaoxia. I submitted my resume yesterday and am applying for the position of producer!"
Looking at the young CEO in front of him, Feng Xiaoxia was initially a little surprised, but quickly introduced himself.
While the other person was sizing up Xu Lu, Xu Lu was also looking at the young man who walked in.
Without hesitation, his first reaction was to activate the 'Qi Observation' skill, and then he nodded slightly.
He discovered that this applicant named Feng Xiaoxia had a very good destiny, stronger than the average person.
After listening to the other person's self-introduction, Xu Lu glanced at the resume on the table, nodded, and said:
"Mr. Feng, could you tell me how you learned that we are recruiting producers?"
Could you also share some of your previous experience in production? If you have any connections in the industry, please let me know!
Feng Xiaoxia immediately said:
"Mr. Xu, it's actually quite a coincidence. My sister learned about it while watching your live stream and then told me..."
"Oh? Didn't you submit your resume through DaXu Culture?"
Xu Lu asked in surprise.
Feng Xiaoxia nodded and continued:
"That's right! After I learned about this, I looked up your company's information online and saw the job posting. In the end, I chose to submit my resume through this more formal channel."
"Good! Continue!"
Xu Lu nodded, finding the young man in front of him quite interesting, somewhat different from the others he had interviewed before.
Soon after, Feng Xiaoxia started talking about her previous experiences with the project.
To Xu Lu's surprise,
This young man had worked on several film projects, including one that he led entirely on his own.
Thinking of this, Xu Lu asked with some doubt:
"Mr. Feng, you have a wealth of experience in producing films. Why did you decide to join a newly established company like ours?"
"Mr. Xu, to be honest, although I've been involved in quite a few projects before, none of them can be considered successful!"
Feng Xiaoxia said with some shame:
"Of course, this is also related to the nature of the industry. According to research, the success rate of film production is only a little over three percent..."
Through conversations with industry insiders, Xu Lu finally understood what it meant when people said, "Only a minority of people make money making movies; the vast majority lose money."
Xu Lu then remembered another question and asked:
"So, what do you think the production situation would be like if our company were to make a movie?"
"Mr. Xu, based on the information I have now, if DaXu Culture is going to get involved in a film project, it will definitely be an independent production."
That means independently raising funds, independently starting the project, independently promoting and distributing it, and of course, lastly, being solely responsible for profits and losses!
Speaking of his field, Feng Xiaoxia became much more confident, saying:
"Based on my previous experience as a producer, the most difficult aspects are actually raising funds and getting started with the project."
Especially for startups like Daxu Culture, securing investment is extremely difficult!
Mr. Xu, may I ask how much the budget is for DaXu Culture's first project?
Upon hearing this, Xu Lu immediately spread out his five fingers and waved them.
Feng Xiaoxia, sitting opposite him, breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Five million is alright, but if it exceeds ten million right away, then..."
"Ahem, not five million, my initial estimate is fifty million, of course, a little less would be better!"
Before the other party could finish speaking, Xu Lu interrupted.
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaoxia was momentarily stunned.
For a film and television production company that already has a reputation in the industry, a project worth 50 million is not an exaggeration, but it is definitely a large investment.
Because based on the box office revenue sharing ratio, if you invest 50 million in a movie, the movie needs to gross at least 170 million to barely break even.
However, in the entire film industry of Great Xia, at most only forty or fifty films can gross over 100 million yuan in a year.
