Chapter 1779 Recruiting New Screenwriters

"The rest is about recruiting employees. Currently, all employees under Tomorrow Group are promoted from the training base."

"However, the training base is still recruiting trainees, and with the projects we've established, the demand for employees is quite high."

"So, let's have our Blue Film Entertainment's HR department and talent training base communicate and recruit all the employees we need first."

As Luo Xiao spoke, his gaze fell upon the Minister of Human Resources. Now that the projects had been finalized, recruitment was certainly a matter that needed to be addressed.

Although the recruitment process was handed over to the talent training base, the human resources department was not canceled. After all, personnel changes in various departments of Blue Film Films are still recorded by the human resources department.

If there is a shortage of staff, the human resources department will handle the follow-up communication.

"Okay, Mr. Luo, I will get it done as soon as possible."

The Minister of Human Resources quickly agreed.

Luo Xiao nodded upon hearing this and began to arrange other matters.

An hour later,

Luo Xiao looked at everyone in the conference room, stood up, and spoke.

"Meeting dismissed."

With that, he left the office first.

After a while,

There was a knock on the office door.

Then someone walked in.

"You've arrived, please sit here."

Luo Xiao looked at the three people who came in and pointed to the sofa in the reception area.

After the three were seated, he continued speaking.

"I called you here mainly to arrange things for the film shooting."

"Mr. Luo, are we starting a new project?"

Huang Ying was pleasantly surprised when she heard Luo Xiao's words.

"That's right. The subject matter of the work has already been decided, and the three of you will be the directors of the upcoming film."

Luo Xiao looked at the three of them and spoke.

Currently, the directors of Blue Film Studio are Hu Bian, Shen Yu, Huang Ying, Jia Fan, and then Ren Han and Duan Hao, who are sitting next to Huang Ying.

These two men are considered veterans of Blue Film Studio. When he and Wang Bin were filming the movie, these two served as assistant directors alongside them.

Later, he helped Hu Bian and Huang Ying film two more works: "Chinese Paladin" and "A Chinese Odyssey".

In terms of directing experience and ability, these two are arguably the most experienced in Blue Film Studio.

Hu Bian and Shen Yu have other plans at the moment, while Jia Fan and Liu Wenqing have formed a team to go overseas to pave the way for Blue Film Films' development abroad.

Therefore, the only directors we can currently use are Huang Ying, Ren Han, and Duan Hao.

Of course, it has been decided that Wang Bin will be the director of the border-themed film.

So all that's left is a prequel to Chinese Paladin and a war drama.

"Mr. Luo, what kind of film do we want to shoot?"

Duan Hao asked with a curious expression.

"This time, Blue Film Pictures invested in three works: a prequel to Chinese Paladin, a TV series on the theme of the War of Resistance against Japan, and a film on the theme of the border region."

"Wang Bin is currently in charge of the film conference on border themes, so you will be responsible for the 'Chinese Paladin Prequel' and the TV series on the theme of the War of Resistance against Japan."

Luo Xiao looked at the three people sitting opposite him and slowly began to speak.

"Minister Hu has already written the script for the prequel to 'Chinese Paladin,' so we can just recruit actors based on the script."

"Duan Hao, you co-directed 'Chinese Paladin' with Hu Bian before, so you have some understanding of the filming process. Therefore, you will be in charge of filming 'Chinese Paladin Prequel' this time."

"This time the investment is still 15 billion. As for the actors, you can choose suitable actors according to the script. At present, Blue Film Films still has a lot of actors available."

"If you really can't find a suitable actor, you can go to the actor training base or the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Center to choose one."

"As for the crew's arrangements, you've filmed many times, so I don't need to say more, right?"

Luo Xiao looked at Duan Hao and spoke.

"Mr. Luo, I understand the filming process, so you can rest assured."

Duan Hao said with a confident expression.

Luo Xiao nodded upon hearing this, then turned to look at Huang Ying and Ren Han.

"The TV series on the theme of the War of Resistance Against Japan is just a concept at the moment. There is no script yet. You two need to find a suitable script first, so the workload is quite large. It will be the two of you who will be in charge."

"The investment in this TV series is 5 million yuan. You all know the specifics of how it was filmed, so I won't go into details."

"........."

"Okay, Mr. Luo, we will definitely do our best to film it."

Upon hearing this, Huang Ying and Ren Han quickly agreed.

"Okay, that's how it is. You can all go and get ready."

Luo Xiao nodded and said.

Upon hearing Luo Xiao's words, Huang Ying and the other two got up and left the office.

After watching Huang Ying and the other two leave, Luo Xiao took out his phone and made a call to Wang Bin.

The call was quickly connected, and Wang Bin's voice came through the phone.

"Brother Xiao, is there something you need?"

"How's your filming progressing?"

Luo Xiao did not directly mention the new work.

"Oh, the filming here should be finished in about half a month."

"Didn't they say it would take a month to finish filming?"

"That was the budget before the new year, but now the actors in the crew have improved their acting skills after training, so the filming progress has been accelerated a lot."

"That would be even better."

Luo Xiao nodded upon hearing this, and the filming would take half a month, which would mean the filming would end around April 26th.

Then the editing will take about a month, which is after May 26th. After the review, it will be just in time for the Dragon Boat Festival release on June 19th.

"Brother Xiao, you're calling at this hour because you need to tell me something, right?"

Wang Bin suddenly spoke up.

"Yes, Mr. Chen invested 100 billion yuan, which is our Blue Film Entertainment's operating capital for this year."

"Didn't you mention a borderland scenario before? I've already finalized it."

"Once you finish filming 'The Wandering Earth 2,' you will lead the team to be in charge of filming this new movie."

Luo Xiao spoke up.

"Okay, Brother Xiao."

Wang Bin looked excited when he heard Luo Xiao's words.

He had his eye on that script long ago. If it weren't for the filming of "The Wandering Earth 2", he would have wanted to make that border defense movie long ago.

After all, he starred in "The Wandering Earth," so "The Wandering Earth 2" will definitely have to maintain the original cast and crew.

But now we can finally film that movie.

"Okay, now recommend the screenwriter who wrote that script to me, and I'll see if I can recruit Blue Film Films."

“Recently, the screenwriters at our Blue Film Studio have all had other commitments, so we are short of screenwriters.”

Luo Xiao spoke up.

"Okay, Brother Xiao, I'll recommend it to you right away."

Wang Bin readily agreed. He had a fairly good relationship with the screenwriter and wasn't affiliated with any company, so being invited to join Blue Film Studio would be the best outcome.
