Did you stay up late last night?
Da Zhang nodded: "Inspiration just suddenly came. I stayed up all night writing, it was so quiet at night, my typing speed was super fast!"
"show me."
"good!"
Zhang brought over his notebook, opened the document, and said, "Mr. Han, please excuse my poor attempt to make a fool of myself."
This is a story about aliens discovering Earth, infiltrating it, and gradually replacing life on Earth.
So-called aliens are actually life forms from parallel universes.
They arrived on Earth and took the place of the life form in that plane.
A very forward-thinking idea.
As a transmigrator, Han Fei felt as if he had replaced the life form of this world.
“It’s quite interesting, but I hope you can put it aside for now and continue the story later.”
Han Fei handed him a stack of story outlines.
They're all trending ideas, from period dramas to fantasy dramas.
"The company's development direction for the next three years will mainly focus on filming historical themes, fantasy martial arts, ancient martial arts, and ancient-style palace intrigue."
"What is this? Several women vying for the emperor's favor? No, no, no, this is terrible! We should catch up with Hollywood and make science fiction films!" Da Zhang insisted, "I think science fiction themes like AI and aliens have a bigger market. These kinds of films will definitely be a huge hit in the next three years!"
Han Fei shook his head: "It is not advisable to compete with others using their expertise. We should make use of our strengths to achieve the effect of cultural export."
In Han Fei's world, films and television shows that become popular abroad are never the kind that are Hollywood blockbusters.
The genres that easily gain international recognition and are praised by foreigners are those that Zhang Dazhang disdains, such as palace dramas, family feuds, and palace intrigue, like "Empresses in the Palace" and "The Story of Minglan."
If we want to produce Spider-Man and other superhero movies in China and surpass foreign ones, it's like fighting against others' strengths with our own weaknesses—it's too difficult to win.
"Mr. Han, I still insist. I think that this kind of palace intrigue and power struggle drama is not popular with foreigners, and even with Chinese people."
"That's just your opinion. Da Zhang, I don't want your opinion, I want my opinion."
"I think these kinds of topics will definitely become popular, and they definitely will."
"Da Zhang, this is my request and the task I assigned. You are responsible for carrying it out, not questioning it."
“You can choose the story outlines you want to create from these and write the script as soon as possible and submit it to me.”
Zhang gripped the cup tightly, wanting to smash it in anger, but then he thought of the high salaries here, and the poor economic climate outside, and how many of his classmates had already been laid off.
He hesitated for a moment, then placed the cup on the table and took a deep breath: "Boss Han, I know I should obey your orders, but I still want to remind you that the investment in period dramas far exceeds that of other genres."
Previously, science fiction dramas required huge investments, but with the development of AI, many special effects can now be easily produced, reducing the investment required.
The costumes, props, and headdresses for period dramas are all custom-made according to the content of the drama, and they are quite expensive.
"You don't need to worry about these things. The company has producers who will take care of everything."
"I understand. I will work with my team to write the script properly."
Da Zhang flipped through the compilation again and occasionally found one or two that were quite interesting.
In the conference hall, Chen Meilan frowned and asked, "Where is the variety show department?"
“They must be busy. They’re the busiest people in the whole company.”
"After the nation's little prince became famous, they no longer had time to have team building activities together while eating sunflower seeds."
Han Fei smiled and looked at them: "Don't worry, you won't have time to eat melon seeds for long."
The head of the variety show department arrived late, sporting dark circles under his eyes: "Boss Han, we're late. Will we get docked pay?"
"No, let's find a place to sit down."
Once the people from the variety show department were seated, everyone had arrived.
The huge Han's Entertainment Company has a total of 500 employees.
The conference hall used to be an employee cafeteria, but after Han Fei sent people to renovate it, it can now accommodate 500 people for meetings.
Han Fei gave Chen Meilan a wink, and Chen Meilan started playing the PowerPoint presentation.
The above is the company's plan and expected schedule for the next three years.
"They're going to film 100 TV series next year?" One person covered their mouth in disbelief.
"36 big movies! How much money would that cost?" another person gasped.
"20 palace intrigue dramas, 10 domestic dramas, 20 martial arts dramas, 10 fantasy dramas, 10 historical romance dramas, 10 ancient crime dramas, and 10 ancient coroner dramas! How much money would that require?"
"36 movies, that's a lot of money to invest. Does our company have that much money?"
"Our company is out of money, but we can find investors!"
"Forget it, nobody in the industry has any faith in Han's Entertainment Company. They all say we started out selling steamed buns and don't understand film and television works or medicine!"
Han Fei clapped his hands: "Quiet."
All eyes turned to Han Fei, eager to see what this Boss Han would have to say.
"What you see is just an expectation, a future goal. I hope that in the next three years, you will create a brilliant future together with me."
After Han Fei's motivational speech, the artists in the audience felt they had found a powerful backer. They no longer had to rely on others' leftovers; their own company was going to produce dramas, and the screenwriters, directors, and producers would all be from their own company. They couldn't have been more glamorous.
"Boss, will you use our own actors for important roles?"
"Will you, like other companies, invite some top-tier celebrities to participate in the filming and play important roles?"
"Boss, can I play the male lead?"
"Please don't hire famous actors from outside; I want to play the female lead."
Han Fei laughed and said, "We produce and sell our own products, without hiring outsiders. All the money is invested in costumes and props. We don't have extra money to hire top celebrities. If there are any top celebrities right now, they are our national little princes. Let them make a cameo appearance for free."
"Boss, you've got a clever scheme going on!"
"Haha, if we don't invite outsiders, does that mean all our own people will get important roles?"
"What roles you can play and what roles you can't play will be decided by the director and producer. Just focus on honing your acting skills, and there will be plenty of opportunities. If you have the talent, you'll be able to play leading roles!"
After the meeting with all employees, Han Fei specifically stayed behind with the producer, director, and screenwriter to discuss future plans with them.
"Mr. Han, what's the average investment for each of the 100 TV series? Do you need to go out and attract investment?"
"There are investors, the largest of whom is the Han Group."
"Boss, are you going to pay for it yourself?"
"They're different. Han's Entertainment Company is an entertainment company, and Han's Group is Han's Group. They're two separate companies." Han Fei smiled and said, "Film more food, and make Han's Group's meat buns, scallion and pork rolls, and crab roe buns appear more often."
"All our films and television dramas will be exported overseas. We'll try to enter as many countries as we can! Most of the food products from our Han Group are frozen and cold-chain processed, and they will be available in overseas supermarkets at the same time!"
"Boss, I feel like you're playing a very big game!"
"Boss, are you trying to achieve a food invasion effect through movies and TV shows?!"
Han Fei urged, "The money we invest must be brought back eventually, otherwise how will we pay your salaries? Get to work!"
