Li Dong's visit to East Star Entertainment this time was not to explain Star.
Hu Xiaorui's decision to set up a film company was influenced by him.
After all, he had invested a lot of money in it. Li Dong couldn't just watch her lose money.
Li Dong had thought about doing this before, but he was involved in too many industries now. Li Dong was too lazy to do it himself.
Since Hu Xiaorui was willing to do it, Li Dong naturally supported it.
Not to mention that he also had shares. Even if he didn't have shares, he could let his friends do the profitable business instead of doing it himself.
Li Dong didn't care if the big stars were unwilling to come to East Star.
In this day and age, it was normal for a good TV series, a good movie, or a good variety show to make a few stars popular.
Li Dong didn't dare to say anything else, but he had a lot of good ideas in his head.
Seeing that Hu Xiaorui wasn't very happy, Li Dong smiled and said, "It's up to them whether they want to come or not. If no one wants to come, we will promote it ourselves."
"Create a star ourselves?"
Hu Xiaorui said with some uncertainty, "But we don't have resources. How can we promote it?"
"In this day and age, if you have money, you will have resources. Ideas are also resources."
Li Dong said, "I see that you have nothing to do recently, and the company doesn't accept many scripts. I thought about it, and we can't leave the signed newcomers alone. So, let's plan and shoot a few TV series to test the waters. "
"Shoot a TV series?"
Hu Xiaorui said with a headache, "But Zhang Meng can't shoot a TV series."
Li Dong rolled his eyes and said, "Does it have to be Zhang Meng? We don't lack money. Isn't it easy to find a few directors to shoot a TV series? As for actors, it's even easier. Let's not talk about our company's own newcomers. Are we afraid that there won't be stars acting if we pay? Shoot a few TV series first to make a name for ourselves. When we are famous, then we will do something else. As for whether the TV series would be popular or not, he didn't need to worry about that for now. He wasn't afraid that he wouldn't be able to find a platform to cooperate with. In Jiangbei, your dad and I still have some influence. It's hard to say for other platforms, but with Jiangbei TV, as long as we can get approval from the SARFT, we will definitely broadcast it during prime time. "
Hearing Li Dong's words, Hu Xiaorui scratched her head and said, "Then what TV series are we going to shoot?"
"A period drama!"
"Period drama …"
Hu Xiaorui was still considering when Li Dong said, "I've already found the script for you. Get someone to sign the copyright and immediately find someone to adapt it into a script. Shoot it as soon as possible."
"What script?"
"'Heart-Breaking Step by Step', 'Empresses in the Palace', and 'Lang Ya List', these are the only three for now."
Hu Xiaorui looked confused and asked, "Is this a novel?"
"Yes!"
Li Dong nodded. He actually remembered quite a few TV dramas.
There were a lot of popular ones like 'Strange Tales of the Ancient Sword', 'Hua Qiangu', 'Palace', etc.
But these TV dramas were either adapted from games, novels that had not been adapted yet, or they were created by the scriptwriters themselves.
Previously, Li Dong had also searched online. Currently, he could still remember, and the ones that were really popular, were the three that he had mentioned.
'Empresses in the Palace' might not have been fully published, but some of it had been published. As for the subsequent drafts, the author should have them.
'Heart-Breaking Step by Step' was completed in 2005, and 'Lang Ya List' was also serialized on Qidian, but it was not very popular.
Feng Yu wanted to take this opportunity to get the copyright first.
As for shooting three TV dramas at once, Li Dong did not lack money, but he lacked manpower. Li Dong could not guarantee that the TV dramas would be as successful as his previous life.
Anyway, he had to cast a wide net. After all, these were three phenomenal TV dramas, and they could not all be popular.
Once one or two TV dramas became popular, they would naturally become famous, and they would achieve their goal of promoting newcomers.
With the TV dramas as a foundation, they could produce some phenomenal variety shows, and after a few times, the company's reputation would also increase.
With money, the ability to create stars, and an endless supply of golden ideas, they would not need to chase after celebrities, and they would take the initiative to look for them.
Hu Xiaorui saw how confident he was and nodded without hesitation. "Okay, I will arrange for people to do it now. Are we shooting all three TV dramas together? "
"You decide. If you can find people, then we will shoot them together. If you don't have enough money, you can tell me. I still have money for a few TV dramas. "
These days, the cost of shooting TV dramas was not too high.
If they did not find big stars, the cost would be even lower.
Since East Star was going to create their own stars, they would not invite many big stars. At most, they would invite one or two to build their reputation, and the cost was not too high.
Li Dong and Hu Xiaorui were not people who lacked money. These days, if you were willing to spend money to invest, it was quite easy to find people in the production team. There were a lot of production teams in Beijing that had nothing to do.
As Li Dong said that, he reminded her again, "Remember to sign long-term contracts in advance for those newcomers who are participating in the cast. Also, we are still lacking newcomers at the moment. If you have nothing to do, go to the major colleges to take a look. Sign some good students back. It's okay to spend a little more money. The others are all new and inexperienced, and they are not famous. Spread the net, and if a few of them become famous, we will not lose out. "
"Okay, I got it."
Hu Xiaorui nodded hurriedly. She thought for a while and asked, "Are we still shooting the movies?"
"Movies …"
Li Dong thought for a moment and said, "Don't shoot for now. Let's finish the TV dramas first. The movie market for the next two years is average, so let's talk about it in another two years."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
…
Following that, the two of them talked about some other things. After that, Hu Xiaorui took a long breath and said, "Li Dong, you're amazing!"
"Before you came, I didn't know what to do at all. Now that you're here, I feel that everything has been arranged. I don't have to worry at all. "
Li Dong said speechlessly, "You're just playing around. You don't have any plans at all. Later, go to other entertainment companies and poach a few management personnel over. Otherwise, this company will lose money sooner or later if we rely on you. "
Hu Xiaorui rolled her eyes at him, but she still giggled and said, "Alright then. It'll save me some trouble if I poach a few people over. I've been having a headache recently. It's really troublesome to manage the company."
"You should train more on your own."
Li Dong said as he looked at the time. "Then I'll talk for now. If there's anything you don't understand, contact me on the phone."
"You're leaving?"
Hu Xiaorui was a little reluctant when she heard that. "Why don't you stay a little longer? I'll introduce you to the people in the company."
"Next time. I'm a little busy these days. I have to go to Beijing later. There are some things that have to be arranged. "
"Then I'll send you."
Hu Xiaorui didn't try to persuade him again. She got up and sent Li Dong out.
She sent Li Dong downstairs to the building. When Li Dong's car left, Hu Xiaorui pouted and went upstairs.
…
Li Dong wasn't lying when he said that he was busy.
East Star Entertainment was just a company for fun. Whether it could succeed or not, whether it could make money, Li Dong didn't really care.
His foundation was still the Faraway Group.
In the next two days, Li Dong personally talked to the provincial government several times.
The North Bay Logistics Park was a huge investment that involved billions of funds. He couldn't leave it all to Yuan Chengdao to handle.
Besides, if he personally came forward, some conditions could be given more preferential treatment.
When the North Bay Logistics Park talks were almost done, Li Dong didn't get a result. At this time, he had to go to Beijing to participate in the second training session of the business school.
To be honest, Li Dong didn't really want to go to the second training session.
His original purpose of going was to get to know some people. Now that he knew these people and Sichuan Airlines had reached an agreement, it didn't make much sense for him to go for a visit.
However, the school said that this was only a project visit in Beijing.
In addition, he still had some things he wanted to talk to Lan Xingguo and Wu Yajun. He also wanted to see the situation in Beijing. It was a good time to go.
…
The day before he left.
Shen Qian helped to pack the luggage, but she didn't say much.
In the past, when Li Dong went out, Shen Qian would tell him to go, but this time, she didn't.
When she said it, Li Dong was a little impatient. But when she didn't say it, Li Dong was not used to it.
Seeing her folding clothes, Li Dong felt strange and asked, "Why don't you nag today?"
Shen Qian glanced at him and said angrily, "You're a grown-up child. People don't listen to you when you nag. What are you nagging for?"
Li Dong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When he was about to speak, Shen Qian said again, "This time, I want to wait for you to come back. I want to take a leave."
"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" Li Dong hurriedly said, "If you are not feeling well, you can rest now. Don't wait for me to come back."
"No, I'm just a little annoyed. I want to go out and relax. Let's wait for you to come back."
"What's annoying?"
Li Dong asked subconsciously. Shen Qian glared at him and didn't say anything.
Seeing her expression, Li Dong knew what she was annoyed about.
By the time he came back, Qin Yuhan should be back as well.
At this time, Shen Qian clearly did not want to stay in Jiangbei. She might as well go out and relax.
Two years ago, it was fine. Ever since Li Dong brought up this matter, Shen Qian had a knot in her heart.
Qin Yuhan will definitely come back during the summer vacation, and she might even come to the company often.
When that time comes, do you want to see them showing off their love?
After thinking about it, it's better to go far away.
After thinking about it, Li Dong moved forward and hugged her from behind. He whispered, "Don't be annoyed. I will definitely handle this matter well."
"Handle it well?"
Shen Qian rolled her eyes and snorted. "What you mean by handle it well is what you told me last time?"
Li Dong was a little embarrassed. Shen Qian did not continue this topic and changed the topic. "Let's talk about it later. Also, go to Beijing and settle Szentai's shares. I have already talked to my mother. In addition to Baidu's shares, she will try to compensate us with cash. After all, the Shen Corporation is not hers. You can talk to her when the time comes. Don't worry about me. She is in a hurry to get Szentai's shares. You can get as much as you can. The Shen Corporation's cash flow is still quite sufficient. Also, Han Yu, that crazy woman. I have warned her. If she makes trouble again, you don't have to be polite with her! Although Jia Wenhao is difficult to deal with, he is not invincible at this time. He is making trouble all day long. Does he think we are easy to deal with? Be ruthless when you need to be. When it's Han Yu's turn to bully me! "
Shen Qian nagged again. This time, Li Dong was not impatient and listened quietly.
