The next day, the company held a meeting.
Lin Fan gathered all the employees again.
“Everyone, although the Condor Heroes has been released and has achieved good results, what I want to tell you is that this is only the beginning of Jiaxing Entertainment’s work.”
“The new movie script has been written. This time, we want to achieve better results than ‘Kung Fu Hustle’!”
Seeing their boss’s determination, everyone was excited.
Following the boss could indeed achieve great things.
After all, Lin Fan was a man who had done everything in every television drama and movie.
“Teacher Tian Zheng, please take a look at the script and make some changes. We can tell everyone the name of our script first. It’s called ‘Dying to Survive’,” said Lin Fan.
“Dying to Survive? What kind of movie is this?” Tian Zheng was a little puzzled. “In the history of domestic movies, there has never been such a movie. It has never appeared before.”
“It’s precisely because such a movie has never appeared in the history of movies in the country that I want to film such a movie. As for the content and essence of the movie, you’ll know after you see the script. When the time comes, you can come up with a satisfactory discussion plan and make detailed changes,” said Lin Fan.
“Alright.” Tian Zheng nodded and took the script. He was the person in charge of all the scripts in Jiaxing Entertainment. Although Lin Fan wrote very well, Tian Zheng could sometimes give some good suggestions to modify them.
No one was perfect. Even if Lin Fan had very strong screenwriting skills, he would occasionally listen to his seniors’ suggestions.
Lu Benkai asked, “Boss Lin, if you want the new movie’s box office earnings to surpass that of ‘Kung Fu Hustle’, what should we do? The box office earnings of ‘Kung Fu Hustle’ have only been around for more than ten days, but it has already reached almost 700 million yuan. In the future, the box office earnings of this movie might even reach 1 billion yuan.”
Lin Fan smiled. “Even if the box office earnings are only one billion, I feel that the results are average. Do you know how many hundreds of millions the box office earnings of Hollywood blockbusters can be? This is a level that domestic movies can’t compare to. Therefore, what we have to do is to strive to catch up to Hollywood first. Then, we can talk about how to surpass Hollywood in the future.”
Lu Benkai nodded. “Boss Lin, I understand. Then we will film this movie well. When should we start preparing?”
Lin Fan made a prompt decision. “We have to start preparing now. Filming this movie requires a lot of things and a lot of characters. It’s very difficult and there’s a lot of work to do. There are also a lot of things to prepare. I’ll make a list now. We have to prepare as soon as possible. After we’re ready, the movie can start filming.”
Lin Fan even looked at Lu Benkai and smiled. “There’s a lot of work this time. It’s been hard on you guys. You have to prepare a lot of things in advance.”
Lu Benkai immediately stood up straight. “Boss Lin, it’s my honor to be able to work at Jiaxing Entertainment. I will definitely do this job well. I believe that under your leadership, we will definitely be able to film even more classic movies.”
After sending Lu Benkai off, Lin Fan looked at Liu Mou.
“Boss Lin, what mission do I have?” Mr. Liu asked. This was someone who had a good relationship with Lin Fan.
“Prepare for the second movie. I’ve already perfected the script. The second movie is called ‘Wandering Earth’. My plan is to film two movies at the same time. As for the television drama ‘Wandering Earth’, I’ll also be a character in it,” said Lin Fan.
“Are the two movies going to start filming at the same time?” Liu Mou asked in surprise.
How much courage was needed to start filming two movies at the same time?
If the two movies started filming at the same time, it would be a huge risk.
After all, a company’s energy was limited. It was abnormally difficult to film every movie well, let alone two movies starting filming at the same time.
“Yes, Jiaxing Entertainment has a total of two departments. One of the directors is Lu Benkai, and the other is you. You also know many capable directors under you. Now, I’ve already sent out the script. I believe you’ve already done the usual company training. For this movie, I plan to compete in our company.”
“The final results of the two movies will depend on the box office earnings. Whoever has higher box office earnings and influence will be able to win in the end. Of course, I will also help you direct the two movies.” Lin Fan smiled.
Such a bold plan could be said to be unprecedented.
When other entertainment companies made movies, they would have all sorts of entertainment companies competing with them. However, if Lin Fan made a movie, it would be completely different.
Lin Fan wanted to compete with himself!
What a bold idea.
Such a method could encourage everyone in Jiaxing Entertainment to be in a better state and mobilize everyone’s enthusiasm.
In Lin Fan’s mind, he felt that the script for “Dying to Survive” might be better. However, both movies had their merits.
Now that the script had been written, the most important thing was to do the preparatory work. Without the preparatory work, it was impossible to start filming directly.
“Alright, Boss Lin. I can accept all the missions. I will also arrange for them to be completed!” Liu Mou nodded excitedly.
Activating the competition mechanism in the company would result in a benign development.
Of course, the company’s post-production staff had already recruited many new employees.
These employees were also very capable. It could be said that there were many capable big shots in Jiaxing Entertainment now.
Lin Fan smiled and looked at Xue Kexin. “Xue Kexin, your mission is more important. I’ll have to trouble you.”
Xue Kexin sat in front of Lin Fan and said seriously, “Boss Lin, please instruct me.”
Lin Fan said, “I have a recommendation letter here. It recommends that our company’s post-production technicians go to a company in Los Angeles to learn about post-production technology. Especially the methods to create special effects for Hollywood blockbusters. No matter how elite the domestic staffs are, there’s still a difference between them and Hollywood. What you need to do is to bring them to Los Angeles to learn until they succeed.”
Xue Kexin asked curiously, “Boss Lin, in that case, the post-production of our two movies…”
Lin Fan smiled and said, “These two movies don’t need high special effects. The company has to plan for the long term. Only by learning now can we have something to use when we need it in the future. Do you understand after I’ve said so much?”
Xue Kexin nodded as if she had been enlightened. She felt that she could not keep up with Lin Fan’s progress.
“If you need more money, the company can arrange it for you. The company will give you the best treatment and you can sit in first class. When you go to Los Angeles, you can stay in a five-star hotel. Most importantly, I hope that you can learn something. The company will reimburse you for your school fees, food, accommodation, and transportation. Your salary will be doubled. What do you think?” Lin Fan smiled.
When she heard Lin Fan say that, Xue Kexin was stunned.
Was there such a godly boss? He could directly give double the salary!
