"You're trying to provoke me!"

Ji Yonghui laughed dryly, which meant something like this.

"How about this? Let's change our strategy. We'll hire more screenwriters, give them more authority, and make the storyboards as detailed as possible. The final editing authority will be given to you, the producer, and the director will only be responsible for filming the footage."

"By the way, we should set up a film review department within the company to focus on collecting market information and summarizing the selling points and commercial elements of the films. This department will also have the power to intervene in the films."

What Qin Fan actually meant was that since no good director could be found, the director's responsibilities should be dispersed.

Part of the power is given to the screenwriter, part of the power is given to the reviewer, and the editing power is given to the producer.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is similar to the American producer-centered system.

Although the power of the director has been weakened, it is easier for the company to control the quality of the film so that the director will not be too young or too self-indulgent, which will lead to the film being messed up.

Ji Yonghui was a bit embarrassed. "I understand what you mean, but this way, there will be too many departments interfering in the film. You interject and I interject. Who will we listen to? If we get into a situation where no one can convince anyone else, it will only slow down the crew's filming progress."

"Don't we have you as the producer? If something like this happens, you have the final say!"

After hearing this, Ji Yonghui immediately felt relieved and flattered him a few times.

Then the topic turned to film and television dramas. The company has been established, but he still doesn't know what to shoot.

It’s not that Ji Yonghui doesn’t have the authority to do the project.

But at the beginning of the company's establishment, Qin Fan clearly stated that he would promote Gao Wen in the first drama.

Therefore, Ji Yonghui did not dare to act rashly and everything was subject to the boss's wishes.

"Our first production at Misia Films is an idol drama, so we have a ready-made subject matter. We can directly adapt Gao Wen's experience into a script."

At this point, Qin Fan turned to look at Xiao Liang, "Mr. Xiao, is it okay to create a male protagonist based on you?"

This was the result of Qin Fan's careful consideration. Firstly, idol dramas are easier to shoot, and fans won't take some logical flaws to heart. They just go for the looks or the couple. Gao Wen's looks are still very good, and as for her acting skills, it can only be said that she has no pressure in acting in idol dramas.

Secondly, the crew has just been put together and are not familiar with each other, so it is inevitable that they will stumble in the beginning. Using an idol drama to let them practice can also help the crew get used to each other quickly.

If they were to start with a blockbuster movie with an investment of 200 to 300 million yuan, they wouldn't be able to get the job. They can't just set up a company and then look for another company to co-produce it, right?

Misha can't afford to lose this person.

Furthermore, idol dramas are definitely a magic weapon for promoting people. Even though they are at the bottom of the contempt chain, they are more likely to become popular than other dramas.

In addition to the above reasons, there is another point. Gao Wen has been silent for several months, and there are still news about her cheating on the Internet. This drama is created based on Gao Wen's experience. The character and the actor's experience are highly consistent, which can help her whitewash herself to a certain extent.

In addition, Misia and Tong Ling can both insert advertisements in the drama, which can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

Xiao Liang didn't expect Qin Fan to set his sights on him. He was stunned for a moment, feeling both amused and helpless.

"Speaking of adaptation, I think you're more suitable than me. Besides, you and Gao Wen are already a couple. Why don't you just hire an actor and be the male lead yourself?"

Gao Wen and Ji Yonghui's eyes lit up at the same time.

Gao Wen smiled and said, "That's a good idea, Lao Qin. It would be a shame if you didn't become a star with your face. Why don't you debut with me?"

If Qin Fan is willing to be the male lead, the interaction between the two can just be performed in their true colors.

It saves time and effort, and you don’t have to worry about your acting skills. It’s really killing two birds with one stone.

"I agree with Mr. Xiao's opinion. Mr. Qin, for the sake of the company's development, would you like to make a small sacrifice?"

Ji Yonghui and Gao Wen have different considerations. Although backed by the head office, the Misia brand is still very famous. It is not difficult to get a share of the film and television industry, but if you want to become popular in a short period of time, you have to find a core element of publicity.

Qin Fan perfectly meets this requirement. Not only is he the chairman of Misia, he also has looks that are no less than top male stars, and he has a great figure. He is simply a walking clothes rack.

Not to mention his temperament. When he is not talking nonsense, he is definitely the epitome of elegance and nobility.

So many elements are gathered in one person. As long as Qin Fan is willing to step forward and cooperate with the company's marketing hype, Ji Yonghui is confident that he can make him a new generation of national male god in a short period of time and reduce women's willingness to get married by ten percentage points.

However, they were still disappointed, as Qin Fan rejected this outrageous request without hesitation.

"Don't try to hit on me. There's no way I can be an actor, not even a cameo!"

"Mr. Xiao, you have to think carefully. If the film is based on me, the focus of the publicity will be on Misia, and there will be much less psychic advertising."

Xiao Liang weighed the pros and cons in his mind, "Alright, I agree to use me as the prototype for the adaptation, but I want to review the script after it's finished."

Qin Fan was speechless. "This is a drama with a strong female lead. Your existence is to serve the female lead. Your character is definitely not that likable."

Xiao Liang was stunned. "Aren't I the male lead? There shouldn't be any conflict with the female lead. Why can't you develop my character better?"

Qin Fan: "This is a story about Gao Wen's coming of age. Growth inevitably involves hardships and setbacks. You are the hardest hurdle for Gao Wen to overcome."

.......

842: A drastic adaptation! So extravagant!

In this adaptation of "Diamond Lover", Qin Fan does not plan to focus on Mi Meili like the original drama.

He wanted to cut out this entire plot and only keep Gao Wen's part, with her and Xiao Liang as the protagonists, while also expanding some side plots.

"Gao Wen's experience can be divided into three stages. The first stage is her early entry into the entertainment industry. At that time, she was still very naive and had a strong desire to be a star. Her personality tended to be naive and innocent. She met and fell in love with her ex-boyfriend Han Bin. This part is best interspersed in the plot in a flashback format."

"The second stage is the romance between Gao Wen and Xiao Liang. This is the main plot, so the screenwriter should portray it in a more delicate way."

"This stage is divided into three parts: the beginning, the middle, and the end. The beginning part can portray Gao Wen and Xiao Liang as a pair of bickering lovers, while the middle part is about the two getting to know each other and gradually falling in love."

"As a result, Xiao Liang's father strongly opposed this matter. In anger, Xiao Liang left Tongling and set up a studio with Gao Wen."

"Later, Tong Ling encountered a serious crisis. Xiao Liang's father died unexpectedly, and Xiao Liang had to take on the family business. Then, he arranged for a character similar to his ex-girlfriend to force him to marry."

Xiao Liang almost vomited after hearing this. His father interfered in his relationship, which was obviously a hint at his relationship with Ye Qi. He then cursed Xiao Zhendong to die early. Tong Ling was in crisis, and his ex-girlfriend came and used the company's crisis to force him to get married.

It's so melodramatic, you must have read too many third-rate romance novels, right?

"I object! The story you told is terrible. It needs to be changed! It needs to be changed drastically!"

"Which part needs to be changed?"

“Everything must be changed!”

"Don't cause trouble."

"I'm not causing trouble. I'm serious. I won't say anything else. But the insinuation that my father died early, who can stand that?"

Qin Fan didn't notice this. The story outline he mentioned was also extracted from the original drama. In the original drama, Xiao Zhendong did die of a heart attack, so he just said it casually without paying attention to Xiao Liang's mood.

"Sorry, I was so excited just now that I didn't notice this detail. Let's change it to this: Mr. Xiao is seriously ill and hospitalized, and your half-brother jumps out to fight for the family property and joins forces with his ex-girlfriend to create a crisis for Tong Ling."

Qin Fan continued, "Xiao Liang gave up his relationship with Gao Wen, withdrew his investment from the studio, and returned to Tong Ling to fight the villains. Gao Wen's studio encountered financial problems, coupled with a series of difficulties, such as the role being snatched away and the online blackmail caused by some unexpected events. She was forced to sign a gambling agreement with the investors."

"Later, Mr. Xiao recovered from his illness and together with Xiao Liang, he defeated the villain. Xiao Liang became the CEO of Tongling again and wanted to rekindle his relationship with Gao Wen."

"At this time, Gao Wen was heartbroken. Furthermore, due to the gambling agreement, she had to film at least ten dramas within a year. She refused the request for a reconciliation, arguing that a man would only slow down her filming schedule."

"At the end, Gao Wen finally completed the bet, but due to the high-intensity work, she became seriously ill and was hospitalized. Xiao Liang learned of Gao Wen's condition and stayed by her bedside without abandoning her."

"Gao Wen eventually forgave Xiao Liang, and after recovering from her illness, the two got back together."

Ji Yonghui lay there writing furiously, recording all the stories Qin Fan told him.

Although Xiao Liang felt very uncomfortable, he felt that the second half of the plot was okay. He had betrayed the heroine in the early part, but everything was resolved later. In the end, the two of them got together, which was a happy ending.

Qin Fan took a sip of water to moisten his throat. "It's probably a story like this. Let the screenwriter expand the plot within this framework. The villain can be a star of similar status to Gao Wen, competing head-on with her."

"Then there's the third female character, Xiao Liang's ex-girlfriend. Her family's influence is described as larger than it actually is, so that it seems more plausible that she's forcing Xiao Liang to marry her."

"The plot is a bit melodramatic, but I demand a fast pace and tight excitement. If the previous episode was depressing, the next episode must make the audience feel excited."

"For example, Han Bin used photos to blackmail Gao Wen. Gao Wen was not ambiguous. She tricked him into saying something, recorded it, and then called the police. Remember, the slap in the face must be clean and clear, without too much dragging and pulling in between."

Ji Yonghui nodded, "I understand. Do you have anything else to say?"

"This isn't just an idol drama, it's also a fashion blockbuster. It plays a trendsetting role to a certain extent, so the costumes and props must be top-notch. The heroine's fashion, jewelry, luxury cars, and villas all have to be top-notch."

"What I need is a high-quality texture, so that when people watch the TV series, no matter what the plot is, they will at least be attracted by the pictures."

"In this case, the crew's budget will be too large." Ji Yonghui put forward his opinion.

Qin Fan smiled and said, "Have you forgotten what our company does?"

.......

843: Gao Wen kneels down in the office! So exciting!

Qin Fan continued, "We'll directly ask the head office for the fashion, and Tongling will sponsor the jewelry. We'll prepare dozens of outfits for the female lead, the second female lead, and the third female lead. Unless the plot requires it, we'll try to make sure each episode is different."

"As for supercars, I'll drive my Bugatti and Zonda over when filming starts, and use them as the male and female lead's cars respectively."

The Bugatti Veyron was the one that Peng Jiahe asked Qin Fan for last year. It was shipped to Shanghai a few days ago and was just registered.

"As for the villa... well, I'll go find Jingyan later and see if there's a better villa over there. I'll lend it to the crew for filming."

After hearing Qin Fan's words, Ji Yonghui was secretly shocked.

The costumes and props that were thought to be very expensive were solved by Qin Fan in just a few words.

If Misha's clothes, Tongling's jewelry and Jingyan's villa could be provided free of charge, at least 10 million in expenses could be saved on this part alone.

After talking about the script, the two then discussed the future development direction of the company.

Since Qin Fan changed Star Pictures into Misia Industry, he was not going to do small things anymore.

The company's first two projects are testing the waters in TV dramas, and they will definitely expand into more genres and even move into the film industry in the future.

At the same time, Qin Fan also brought in Jingyan Group and Jiang Group to jointly establish Jingyan Cinema Management Company, and is currently looking for a suitable company that holds a cinema license.

Once the acquisition is successful, Jingyan Cinema Line will be established, starting an expansion model of acquisition + self-construction.

"In addition to Misia Films and Jingyan Cinema Line, distribution companies are also a top priority. Mr. Ji, you will set up a special team to find distribution companies that can be acquired. No matter what the target company's revenue capacity is or how much debt it has, as long as they have a complete distribution channel, they can be taken into consideration."

"What about funding?"

"Don't worry about the funding. As long as you find an acquisition target, the head office will inject capital."

In Qin Fan's mind, the future Misia Films will have both production and distribution capabilities, as well as artist management business.

Thinking of this, Qin Fan turned his gaze to Wang Jiesen.

"Jason, the company's current primary goal is to make Gao Wen famous again. Besides that, they'll also invest in projects from other companies. These projects will likely net them some roles, so you can sign more artists."

There are many artists in Wang Jiesen’s agency, but they are all unknown artists on the 18th line.

When Gao Wen was there, most of the resources were concentrated on Gao Wen, and those lesser-known actors could get very few roles.

Now that the company has been acquired and become part of Misia Films, there will definitely be no shortage of roles in the future. We can sign more artists. If one or two of them can make it big, it will be considered a success.

What can I say about the domestic film and television industry? It has reached a new level of rot. The most important reason for this is that the profits from film and television are smaller than those from artists.

In other words, the profits generated by making a film or TV series are not as great as the profits that can be obtained by making an artist famous.

So a strange logic is created: film and television dramas exist only to promote people, and after the artists become famous, they work hard to take on endorsements, commercial performances, and various other ways to make money.

This industry logic is obviously incorrect. The status of film and television dramas cannot be guaranteed, and the quality of the films naturally cannot be guaranteed.

Of course, this is also the fans' own choice, and we can't blame the film and television practitioners entirely.

If star-chasing is not so crazy, there are fewer brainless fans, people treat celebrities more rationally, and the money-making effect of artists is reduced, the industry will be able to return to normal.

"Don't worry, Mr. Qin. I will strictly check and sign some good candidates."

Wang Jiesen nodded with a smile on his face. It is said that it is nice to take shelter under a big tree. This is so true.

After becoming a member of Misia Films, although the power at his disposal has been reduced, his status and influence in the industry are incomparable to before.

In the past, he only had a little face because he made Gao Wen famous, and others would look up to him because of Gao Wen.

But after Gao Wen's accident, Wang Jiesen also suffered heavy losses. The company's revenue plummeted and its resources were reduced by more than half.

Fortunately, Boss Qin kept his promise and did not let him wait long before he reorganized the small company Star Pictures into Misia Pictures, preparing to make a big move in the film and television industry.

Wang Jason was lucky enough to get a ride on this trip.

Xiao Liang smiled bitterly to himself. With Qin Fan's support, Misia Pictures would definitely become a giant in the film and television industry in the foreseeable future.

He could only watch such a good opportunity. Even if he asked for investment, he would most likely be rejected.

He already regretted it. If he had established a good relationship with Qin Fan earlier, he could have at least been able to get some benefits from this opportunity. Now it was too late to say anything.

When Gao Wen got into trouble, he directly complained to Qin Fan in front of Gao Wen. Just based on this incident, it was impossible for Qin Fan to give him an investment share.

After the meeting, everyone left the meeting room.

Gao Wen relaxed and walked over to sit in Qin Fan's arms.
