Su Ye was from the north in his previous life and had followed Feng to dig the corners of Beijing Film Studio. This was not a shameful thing. They were all happy to be poached, after all, the factory was in a recession.

Su Ye’s idea was very simple. He invited directors, cameramen, lighting engineers, costumes, and other professionals from E Film Studio to sign up for a crew freely. The treatment was given according to the price in the circle, and he came and went freely.

It is easier to build a crew skeleton first and then go out to recruit people if it is not enough than starting from scratch.

Actors are a little more troublesome, and they need auditions and selection.

In fact, the amazing actors have already jumped out and are still active in the film and television industry, but they have no contact with E Film Studio, the rest...

Su Ye told Director Li about this idea, and Director Li nodded in agreement, but hesitated.

"E Film Studio is definitely willing to cooperate with you, but it's a bit difficult for Sichuan TV. As for the same thing, you can't afford to buy a new drama with big productions. You can't sell it to Taiwan at a loss, right?"

"Oh, I'm not talking about "Legend of Sword and Fairy", it's a Nishikawa dialect drama with only twelve episodes."

“What type?”

"Promoting the spirit of anti-Japanese war and inheriting the folk customs of Xichuan are about the growth experience of a legendary Sichuan Army general, and praising the fearless spirit of the anti-Japanese hero! As the saying goes, the country is broken and the mountains and rivers are deep in the city...."

"Chuantai is not interested in the drama."

"Ah... this is a silly comedy, which is to be buried alive at the beginning, then sell cow dung and shave your eyebrows, go up the mountain to be the second-hand man, and finally accept the comedy of recruiting allegations to pull the strong men out of Sichuan to fight against Japan."

"I was buried alive at the beginning...hey! It's a bit interesting, can I have a script?"

"have!"

Su Ye pushed the first three episodes and outline of the printed script of "The Stupid Army Commander" to Director Li, thinking, Humph, I know... The people of Xichuan are only interested in sand sculpture comedy, and there are particularly rich sand sculpture actors.

Therefore, when he was writing "Legend of Sword and Fairy", he also wrote "Silly Commander".

It is definitely not possible to pull up a team of grassroots and shoot fairy swords. First, shoot a comedy and temper it, find out the shortcomings and shortcomings, and spend money to hire experts. This is much more stable than outsourcing. Who knows what level of those outside teams is?

Director Li looked with the script, laughing from time to time, and stopped eating hot pot.

Su Ye was drinking a lot of fresh oranges and scalding his tripe, which was very comfortable.

He is not afraid of Sichuan and Taiwan not cooperating, because he can also find Shuangqing Taiwan to cooperate, which is richer than here.

However, Lin Xiujuan looked down on E Film Studio a little bit, thinking that their concepts are backward, the equipment is outdated, and the technology is not very good, and it can no longer keep up with the times. It is better to find a mature team.

However, Su Ye didn't want to spend too much money on "The Stupid Army Commander", so she could not appreciate this drama personally.

Lin Xiujuan thought that when Boss Su was about to fall into trouble, he knew how deep the water in this industry was. When it comes to "Legend of Sword and Fairy", he still had to find a mature team to work with.

So, she didn't say much today, and the dinner was also supported by Director He Mingliang and Director He.

Su Ye knew Lin Xiujuan’s idea, so he scalded her two goose intestines and said, “Sister Juan, believe me, E Film Studio’s crouching tiger and hidden dragon, this wave will never be a loss.”

Lin Xiujuan smiled and said nothing, as long as you are the boss, you are happy.

"Okay, OK, OK!"

Director Li finished reading the script and outline and said three good words in a row. The outline finally came with the cost composition of the drama.

It is a low-cost TV series with a total investment of only 3 million yuan, which is ridiculously low. No big-name actors are invited, but the screenwriter is the red umbrella and the director is Su Ye.

If you have two names alone, you can get ratings and you will definitely not lose money.

Of course, he didn't believe that Su Ye would direct the drama, so he must be the director of E Film Studio. Su Ye was named and gilded.

After eating hot pot, Director Li left with the script outline and asked Su Ye to wait for news.

...

The next afternoon, Su Ye and Director Li came to the former site of E Film Studio on Qingjiang East Road, and Sichuan and Taiwan had agreed to cooperate.

In fact, with such low investment costs, Sichuan and Taiwan could not refuse to cooperate. If it weren't for the purpose of forming a crew at E Film Studio, Su Ye would not have asked Sichuan and Taiwan to cooperate.

The exclusive broadcast contract signed by Su Ye and Sichuan TV is 200,000 yuan per episode, and the twelve episodes are 2.4 million yuan, which is not worth the shooting cost of three million yuan.

This is normal, because in addition to the exclusive broadcast income of the TV station, there will be premiere broadcasts, carousels and online platform broadcast rights income, etc. In addition, the more important point is advertising implantation.

Anyway, Su Ye will not lose money. If you respond well, you will make a big profit by filming the sequel "The Commander of the Silly".

Of course, there are many TV series that have lost money, nine out of ten and half of them are all suffering from loss, but everyone is still very enthusiastic about filming, and the actors' pay is higher than the other, and everyone who understands the reasons.

Under the leadership of the lighting maker Luo, Su Ye and Director Li visited the interior of E Film Studio. They can only say... they saw the sternness of late autumn under the scorching sun in the midsummer.

After the millennium, with the invasion of Hollywood blockbusters and the strong rise of domestic film and television companies, domestic studios were defeated by internal and external attacks and were all on the verge of collapse.

E Film Studio is no exception. The studio that once filmed "***" and "Opium War" can no longer make the film.

Uncle Luo is still very proud. He entered the factory in the 1980s and participated in the production of many classic films. He took Su Ye to visit the studio, prop room, and old film cameras in the exhibition area.

After the visit, Uncle Luo proudly said: "The studio is still very busy now, and he often shoots, sets, etc."

He is talking about rental services.

Su Ye said: "Uncle Luo, I haven't been on the crew for a long time?"

Uncle Luo's eyes suddenly turned red: "Seven or eight years."

Su Ye turned around and left, then what are you showing off with me?

I heard that the above has decided to reorganize E Film Studio, which is probably a public-private partnership. The same is true in another world. After the reorganization, it is much more brilliant than other film studios, and has participated in good films such as "Let the Bullets Fly".

So, Su Ye said that E Film Studio is crouching tiger and hidden dragon. If you come back after the reorganization, Su Ye’s small body will not be able to dig it.

Su Ye did not participate in the specific cooperation matters, so Lin Xiujuan asked him to discuss it.

It is roughly a cooperation with E Film Studio to establish a film and television studio, and Su Ye provides funds, equipment, etc. E Film Studio can only get 25% of the income by issuing people. Of course, it is just production income. The copyright of the film is in the hands of Jingjing Entertainment and has nothing to do with them.

In addition, the studio bears the salary of employees, so the leaders of E Film Studio are more active than employees and mobilize and call for various mobilizations.

Su Ye said that as long as you are a technician at E Film Studio, from directors to drivers, you must register, and retired elderly people can do as long as they are in good health.

After staying in Shudu for another week, Su Ye dug up forty-four people.

There are two directors, four photographers, three makeup artists, five lighting artists, drama affairs, field notes, mechanics, sound recorders, editors and various assistants, and there are two artists.

What Su Ye values ​​most is the two artists in their sixties. These are treasures.
