Since Tianfang Films took over, they had taken in a few famous celebrities. For example, Li Wei, a B-list celebrity in the film industry. There was also a C-list male celebrity and two singers between B-list and C-list celebrities.
Just taking in these celebrities would cost a lot. That was why Chen Qinghong borrowed money from Qin Bao, and Qin Bao discussed it with her brother. On the one hand, she wanted to use the opportunity to educate her best friend. On the other hand, she really had no money.
Now, these celebrities were on the right track and developing well. The company tried to allocate resources to them, but it felt like something was missing.
Qin Ze lay on the sofa and fell into deep thought.
During this period, he had been thinking about the development path of Baoze Company. Now, it seemed like Tianfang was the main development target. After all, he had a mission.
Just then, his phone started ringing.
It was a piece of entertainment news: "Blockbusters are gathering in April this year."
He clicked on it. The content was roughly like this: Famous director Zhang Chu's new work is coming, "September New City" will meet you in April; Popular queen XX is teaming up with popular teen idol XX, fantasy masterpiece "Soul Breaking Song" will be released in April; Famous director Ke has been preparing for his new film for six years, "Martial Arts Master" will meet you there.
It was a software advertisement promoting the movie in April.
He scrolled down. There was no more. The article was not long. Half of it was beautifully made promotional posters. Just looking at the posters, it was indeed interesting.
Comments: 999 +
Qin Ze casually browsed through the netizens' comments.
"I'm looking forward to it. There are so many movies based on novels."
"It's just IP. Basically, every movie is destroyed. Only the novelties and ethical movies are worth watching. Fantasy movies, the special effects are awkward, and the plot is awkward."
"Even so, even if they keep scolding, there are still a lot of people going to watch it. Let's wait for April."
"Damn, I've waited for more than a year. It's finally going to be released. Hmm, there's still one and a half months left."
"April. I feel like it's going to be good movies. Awesome."
"XX, this sissy. Teen idols nowadays dress up as flirtatious as women. Disgusting."
"This is the trend brought over from South Korea."
"I'm looking forward to" Martial Arts Master ". I feel like it will be a very hot-blooded martial arts movie."
Qin Ze was looking forward to it. Blockbusters were indeed gathering in April. There was going to be something to watch.
At the same time, his heart skipped a beat. Tian Fang might be missing one or two works that could become classics. Songs didn't count. Songs were more representative of a person. For such a large entertainment company like Tianfang, it wouldn't be right if they didn't have at least a few classic movies that they had invested in.
For example, Star Art Entertainment had to invest in a lot of movies every year. Some made money, some lost money, but overall, it was profitable. Not only did it make money, but it also supported the artists under the red flag.
There must be a lot of movies in the system store. He could take his time to look through them. It wouldn't be difficult to find classic movies.
Just think about it. The number one fast shooter in the music industry, the current God of Stocks, had transformed into a famous scriptwriter that shocked the entire country.
Tsk tsk, it felt so good!
"Ding! New mission: Host, please rely on your own abilities to shoot a movie with a rating of 8.5 and above. There are no restrictions on the theme. If you succeed, you will be awarded 5,000 points. If you fail, you will be deducted the same amount of points. "
Qin Ze calmly picked up his teacup and smiled, "System, stop fooling around. Once is enough for this kind of joke. I won't fall for it twice."
"This time, the mission was issued according to the proper procedures. This is not a drill. Host, this is not a drill." The system's serious voice sounded.
"Pfft ~" Qin Ze spat out the tea in his mouth.
"System boss, are you trying to play me to death and then change the host?" Qin Ze said angrily.
"Of course not." The system was very calm.
"I've never shot a movie before. You want me to shoot a movie with a rating of 8.5 and above? Relying on my own abilities, I can't use points to exchange for it, right? " Qin Ze scratched his head, "Do you know that our country's trolls, the moon is round in foreign countries. They will also give high scores for bad movies. Domestic movies, if there's even the slightest flaw, they will curse and slander. This is not good. "
“so？”
"Cancel the mission."
"I'm sorry host, but the missions generated by the proper procedures only have completed and incomplete. There is no option to cancel. Although I am an AI system, I have my own principles. "
Qin Ze, "F * ck!"
A bolt from the blue.
"Why don't you just let me shoot a movie and compete with a blockbuster movie in April where the big bosses gather?"
"Accepted!" The system's voice was cold, "Ding! Mission added, the movie box office in April will be in the top three. If successful, you will be rewarded with an additional 1,000 points. If you fail, the corresponding points will be deducted."
There were some things in the world that couldn't be reasoned with. For example, low-level systems.
"Host, I'm still a gentle system. If it were those despicable systems, they would have a hundred ways to force the host to work hard."
"Right now, I just want to paint the wall with feces and then paint you on it too."
At this point, the most important thing was to consider completing the mission.
A movie with a rating of 8.5 and above was undoubtedly a huge challenge. It was not like those rubbish ratings on social media platforms. For movies, there were special rating websites. They were more authoritative and picky.
Secondly, competing on the same stage in April meant that he only had slightly more than a month.
Time was tight.
The next day, the first day of work during the Chinese New Year holiday, Qin Ze did not go to Baoze. Instead, he drove his sister to Tianfang and called for an emergency meeting. They started work at 9 AM. The meeting was at 9: 30 AM.
In the number one large conference room, the higher-ups of Tianfang, as well as the person-in-charge of the production team, were all present.
Qin Ze sat at the head of the table. On his left was Qin Bao Bao. Qin Bao Bao was twirling the pen at her fingertips, looking bored.
She was the big boss of Tianfang in name, but everyone knew that the real boss was the man behind Qin Bao Bao, her younger brother.
"Today, I'll talk about my purpose for calling this meeting." Qin Ze looked around at everyone. "I plan to make a movie. I want to release it before the end of April. The time is a bit tight, but I hope to ensure the quality. Does anyone have any suggestions?"
Below the stage, more than a dozen faces were stunned.
But since the boss had spoken, the underlings could only follow the topic.
The general manager, Zhang Fu, was the first to speak. "CEO Qin, this is too rushed. Usually, from the preparation of a movie to the official start of filming, it takes a long time to prepare the script, crew, actors, etc. "
"Isn't Tianfang a professional? They don't lack props, professional staff, and a director, right?" Qin Ze frowned.
"Although the crew is there, there's a lot of preparation work to be done. Choosing actors and scripts is troublesome, and the scenic spots are even more time-consuming," one of the leaders analyzed.
Qin Ze slammed the table, scaring Qin Bao Bao who was beside him.
He said, "That's why I called for a meeting. I want to hear your thoughts, and not shirk responsibility and complain. You guys get millions of yuan a year. Do I raise you guys just to hear you say 'this won't do' or 'this is very troublesome'?"
Everyone was stunned. This was the first time Qin Ze showed his boss's fangs and behavior. In the past, he was smiling and approachable. In front of his employees and leaders, he lacked love and dignity. But a boss was still a boss. Just because he didn't show his fangs, it didn't mean that he didn't have them.
Qin Bao Bao watched the show from the side, thinking, 'Brother is so domineering today.'
Mwah.

An experienced filmmaker said, "Chairman Qin, if we have to release it in April, then the movie's theme will be very limited. I suggest we film some suspense, youth, literature, romance, and other low-budget movies. These kinds of movies can be shot quickly. "
Qin Ze nodded. "Continue."
He had hit the nail on the head. The filming period of a movie could be as short as ten days to as long as a few years. The key was the theme.
Suspense, mystery, literature, and other such movies would not pay attention to special effects or scenic spots. The whole movie would probably be repeated on a few occasions. The filming time would be shorter.
Some mystery movies about locked-room murders would be filmed in villas. The cost was very small, but the movie was exciting and the box office was very high. These kinds of movies had very high requirements for the script.
As for some historical movies and adventure movies, special effects and scenic spots were very troublesome and expensive, and the filming period was also very long.
"In terms of the script, I suggest we adapt the novel of the same name. This way, we can save a lot of time, "the experienced filmmaker said again.
Qin Ze thought for a while and nodded slowly. "This can be done. Do you have a suitable novel?"
It was a great idea to adapt the novel of the same name. Not only would it have a very high fan base, but it would also save the time of writing the script.
It was convenient, affordable, and cost-effective. Therefore, it was popular nowadays to adapt novels into movies and television dramas, and then the scriptwriters would polish and modify them.
It would greatly save the filming period. However, it also caused a phenomenon. Almost everything that was filmed was destroyed. It was very rare to restore the original work to its original state. It was because the production team was too unskilled and did not put much effort into it. It was also because the scriptwriters could not get the charm of the novel and modified it beyond recognition.
