Of course, it is impossible for movie adaptations to follow the novel plot completely. Apart from specific character designs, contradictions and plot references, there are many innovations.

The investment in the movie version of "First Intimate Contact" is not much, and the current plan is to invest 50 million yuan.

The male protagonist decides the dynasty within the country, while the female protagonist initially sets up several artists in the company. As for who it is, Lou Chenggong is still hesitant for the time being.

Apart from the roles, like the director, there is no clue yet for the promises.

It’s not that I can’t find a director. In the current film market, the seller’s market is definitely bigger than the buyer’s market. Although the investment of 50 million yuan is not much in the entire film market, as long as I follow the entertainment to talk to the outside world, there will definitely be a large number of directors willing to come and shoot.

The main thing is that this first drama is destined to be used to practice. If the director doesn’t use his own people, what kind of skills will he practice?

Hearing Lou Chengnuo's words, Chen Feng, who was prepared, quickly got up and took a piece of information on his desk, and handed it to Lou Chengnuo.

"This is the director candidate I selected after a meeting with the company's film and television department yesterday afternoon. These are all suitable." Chen Feng said.

Although Chen Feng said that he was selected, the list is actually all the directors currently owned by Follow Entertainment.

High-qualified directors look down on the resources of following entertainment companies, and Chinese-qualified directors are worried that they will not be able to develop well by signing contracts with entertainment. Therefore, the contracted directors absorbed by following entertainment are basically new melons.

There are only five directors on the list, two of these five are photographers and have served as deputy directors or assistant directors for several movies.

The other two formerly worked as deputy producers and MV and advertising directors, and recently sought to change careers. Wenzhi Following Entertainment came for an interview after recruiting a director, and then joined Following Entertainment through the assessment of the film and television department.

The last one is a bit weird. A graduate of an electronic engineering university who has been engaged in computer software design for 5 years. For some reason, he fell in love with movies, and then fell in love with it deeply. He also raised funds to be a director and made several movies - although he couldn't even enter theaters.

In this process, this cross-border talent realized that it is difficult to develop in the film industry alone, so he also sought to sign a contract with a film company and gain more experience.

However, because he is not a professional, he still has many requirements for filming movies. Famous domestic film and television companies are not interested in him, and he is not interested in the olive branches sent by small companies, and finally he continues to follow the emergence of entertainment.

At this time, Follow Entertainment was short of a relatively systematic staff such as screenwriters, photographers, lighting engineers, film producers, etc., who needed a complete film crew, he would agree with the talent's request to lead the core personnel of the crew to join the company.

In the end, this guy joined the Follow Entertainment with seven or eight crew members who he had used his skills.

Lou Chengnuo briefly took a look at each person's resume and was very interested in this guy named Xu Fan who crossed the computer industry to become a director.

"The director will decide this Xu Fan. If the deputy director wants to change to the crew of "Coming in Seattle", the rest will be stuffed into "Intimate Contact"." Lou Chengnuo said.

Anyway, it's all about the test. As long as this pretentious Xu Fan doesn't make the movie fail, he can't recover the cost, and he will do whatever he wants during the filming process.

"Okay." Chen Feng nodded.

"Although Huihuang Film will assist us in the operation of the promotion and distribution affairs, our company also has distribution qualifications, and the film promotion and distribution business company must also be raised, at least to ensure the normal connection between our films and theaters." Lou Chengnuo said.

There are three main steps for a movie from shooting to release: the first is filming and production, the second is filming and promotion, and the third is theater release.

For most film manufacturers, they do not have the ability to promote movies, so after most film manufacturers make the movie, they will hand over the right to distribute the movie to professional film distribution companies, who are responsible for promoting the film and operating the films to the theaters to join the theaters.

This behavior between the film producer and the film distribution company is naturally not free of charge, but needs to be exchanged for box office sharing.

From the perspective of the entire industrial chain, although film production is the source link of the film industry chain, the profits it can earn in the film ecosystem are not the biggest.

The box office dividend of a movie is first of all, the national special fund account and business tax deduction are required according to the box office, and then the remaining box office share is divided to the theater by 50%.

The remaining 50% will be paid to the issuing company and theater company as dividends.

Subtracting the box office data after the above share is the final profit of the film producer.

According to this share model, the total box office of the movie "First Intimate Contact" which invested 50 million yuan requires more than 100 million yuan. Follow the entertainment industry to ensure that the capital is guaranteed after various share sharing. If the box office is higher, you can earn pure profits.

Of course, for small and medium-sized film manufacturers, due to insufficient capabilities, their profits will be greatly lost through various links.

But for large companies, the production and distribution of a movie are all internally operated. Except for half of the profits that have to be divided into theaters, other links are digested internally, and there will still be no loss.

Lou Promise is now working hard to follow entertainment to become a large company that integrates production and sales.

As for the theater industry, Lou Promise also wants to intervene, but now he does not have so much wealth, energy and talent for the time being.

I can only wait for the opportunity.

"I have been following the movie distribution business. Recently, I am in contact with the person in charge of a company's distribution business through headhunting. The other party is also very interested in joining our company. We are now in the final contact." Chen Feng said.

If you want to start in the best way for a new business, it is naturally the only choice to discover outstanding talents. After being the secretary of the building promise for a long time, Chen Feng unknowingly inherited the building promise's hobby of looting.

"Well, don't worry, you can talk about it. As long as you are a real talent, even if the other party wants to get shares, as long as it is not excessive, it can be accepted." Lou Chengnuo said.

"By the way, when it comes to this, it's time to set up an option pool with the entertainment company."

The words Lou Chengnuo said made Chen Feng feel unconsciously shocked.

There is no man who doesn’t love money. Even a gentle man like Chen Feng needs money to live or have a family. Chen Feng promised to work for the building, both because of his career and money-making desire.
