Chapter 356 After Work, Before Celebration

“In the past year, the development strategy of Good Production Network has always been to focus on quality rather than quantity.

We are working hard to improve the professionalism of the Good Production Network, and the requirements for registered personnel are extremely high. Generally, they are professionals from relevant film and television schools, crew members who have worked with us, and employees of friendly companies.

This selection of the best of the best registered personnel has basically established the unquestionable leadership position of HaoZuoPian.com in the industry.

In 2011, as many as 97 crews successfully completed their film and television production tasks with the help of HaoZuoPian.com.

Among them, there are 12 projects with investment amounts exceeding 40 million Chinese Yuan, and more than projects with investment amounts between million and million.

“In 2012, our Good Production Network will adjust its strategic development direction.

With a relatively solid foundation, this year the registration requirements for actors and crew members, in addition to behind-the-scenes personnel, will be relaxed on Good Production Network.

Especially regarding extras, in the past, there was no option for extras among the registered users of our HaoZhiPian.com.

This year we will open registration access to the largest number of extras in the film and television industry.

This will not only further expand the industry influence of our Galaxy Group, but also standardize the industry ecology.

Of course, in order to better manage the increasing number of registered actors, HaoZhangPian.com will also launch an actor rating system, which will provide a certain amount of experience based on an actor's past and recent work experience and achievements, so that they can upgrade their account level.

In this way, the project team only needs to limit the levels to better screen suitable actors.

Actors also need to be more dedicated to completing filming tasks in order to improve their level and have the opportunity to see better projects.”

[Film and Television Production Business Group] The reform of artist account levels on Haozhipian.com was originally proposed by Wang Hao.

In the entertainment industry, it has always been difficult to judge an actor's status.

After all, this is a very subjective and random thing.

In the past, there were many film and television companies that tried to rank actors as first, second, and third, and then thought of finding top-notch actors to make hit movies.

Then they discovered that even first-rate actors can fail, and the so-called "actors carry the box office" is just a popular perception.

In the industry, the success or failure of a project is never determined by a single actor.

Even the past "Double Zhou Yicheng" or the future Wu Jing, Shen Teng, Xu Zheng, and Huang Bo, all have their failures.

In the beginning, Wang Hao actually wanted to make good use of the production network to rate the actors.

The rating indicators can be from multiple dimensions, such as past performance in film and television dramas, honors achieved, work attitude, and evaluations from industry insiders, all of which can serve as the basis for calculating an actor's score.

These scores can in turn influence the crew's choice of actors for the project.

The lower the actor's score, the bigger the problem he or she has, and the crew will be more cautious in selecting him or her.

The higher the score of an actor, the higher his commercial value will be and the more access he will have to good resources.

Moreover, once an actor's project performs poorly, his grade score will be lowered. This will force actors and artists to improve their professional ability and professionalism, and be more serious and responsible about the film and television projects they participate in.

This idea came to Wang Hao after he went to Japan and personally learned about and witnessed the current situation of the entertainment industry there.

In Japan, if a work has problems, performs poorly, or receives extremely low reviews, then the leading actor of the work needs to hold a press conference and personally apologize to the audience and fans in public.

Some Japanese stars even shed tears when apologizing.

Although there is also an element of performance involved, at least the actors' future is linked to their works.

The same situation exists in Hollywood, where if an actor or director's work fails, the resources they can obtain in the future will be reduced.

If three projects in a row fail, it means that the actor or director is out of Hollywood and it will be difficult for him to make a comeback.

Compared with the more mature Hollywood and Japanese entertainment circles, the Chinese entertainment market has a large market size due to its large number of employees.

Thus, there arises a contradiction between the people's growing demand for entertainment and the insufficient and underdeveloped cultural products.

In short, there are enough leeks and none of them have ever eaten anything good, so even if those idol stars lack professional ability, it is difficult for their reputation to collapse as long as they do not violate the law.

This phenomenon is naturally not a good thing for the film and television entertainment industry, as it is very easy for bad money to drive out good money.

That's why Wang Hao wanted to launch an actor rating system on the Good Production Network. At least to let investors and producers know that those incompetent traffic stars are not the best choice for film and television projects.

However, when he proposed this idea, he was told by the management of the Film and Television Production Business Group that this would be difficult to implement.

As mentioned before, the success of a film or TV work is a matter of luck to a certain extent.

It doesn’t mean that good actors can make a film or television project successful. If the crew chooses a good actor based on the ratings they give, and there is no big problem with the crew itself, the project results may not be ideal.

Then the credibility of their website rating system will be greatly reduced.

If this happens a few more times, the rating system will become meaningless.

Besides, giving actors ratings is something that can easily offend people.

Although this score is entirely based on the actor's own performance, it is not decided by the website.

But actors don’t care about these things, and they don’t have the mathematical ability to verify whether your so-called algorithm is reasonable.

They would only think that someone is about the same level as them, but his score is much higher than theirs. Is there something fishy going on? Is the Galaxy Group targeting me?

The entertainment industry is so small that Hao Film Production Network may not be afraid of these people, but other business departments of the Galaxy Group may have to deal with them, and if conflicts or contradictions arise, it will not be good.

After hearing this explanation, Wang Hao thought about it carefully and realized that it was true, so he gave up the idea.

However, the management of the [Film and Television Production Business Group] proposed another plan based on Wang Hao's idea, which is the actor account level system just mentioned in the meeting.

This actor account level is not the same as the actor rating. It is more similar to the QQ level or VIP system of other websites.

A high account level for an actor does not necessarily mean that he is excellent in the industry, but it is enough to prove that the actor has sufficient qualifications. After all, if you want to improve the level of this account, the actor needs to actively participate in the project.

This is just like leveling up and killing monsters in a game. For actors who receive film and television projects through HaoZuoPian.com, the better the performance of their works, the more experience points the projects can provide, and the faster they can level up.

You can choose to go the boutique route and take on projects that have high returns on experience, or you can become a model worker in the industry, working tirelessly and winning by quantity.

Anyway, an experienced producer only needs to look at the actor's account level, his years of work, and the number of projects he has participated in to roughly estimate his professional level.

After thinking about it, Wang Hao agreed with the suggestion made by his subordinates.

Because this solution is simpler and more tolerant than the one he proposed before.

Even some extras, if they persevere, may be able to upgrade their account levels and get more opportunities.

After the [Film and Television Production Business Group] reported on the situation of their department, this high-level meeting at the beginning of the year came to an end.

Wang Hao was not like many company bosses who talked about value and encouraged employees at the end of the meeting. These tactics have been used many times in the past.

He just said it lightly.

"Given the very good development of the group company last year, there will be a wave of salary increases for all positions this year.

In addition, Galaxy Pictures will soon welcome its second round of financing, and the department heads in charge of this area will also receive option rewards.”

Upon hearing this, several heads of the [Film and Television Production Business Group] immediately showed joy on their faces.

No. 1 smiled at the heads of some other business groups.

“Of course, with the example of Galaxy Pictures going public, the core industries of other business groups of the group will also be financed and listed one after another in the future.

At that time, everyone here will have the opportunity to get options.

So in the future I hope that everyone can continue to work hard in Galaxy Group and contribute their own efforts to the development and growth of the company.

Only when the company gets better and better and the industry gets bigger and bigger, will we gain more and more, and our lives will become happier and more joyful.”

Wang Hao's last speech was greeted with warm applause, and everyone in the conference room had an excited look on their face.

Just as Wang Hao said, China's film, television and entertainment industry is becoming more and more prosperous, with more and more funds flowing into this industry. As the leading enterprise in this industry, the Galaxy Group is also growing in size. Naturally, the future prospects of the company's senior executives are becoming brighter and brighter.

Everyone has a better future, which is more effective than any morale-boosting words.

The brief high-level meeting did not mean that Wang Hao’s work at Galaxy Group was over.

He also has to participate in the internal meetings of each business group, put forward suggestions and ideas on some specific issues and the development direction of the business group, and use his vision that far exceeds this time to guide the direction of progress for the employees below.

After all the meetings within the Galaxy Group were over, it was already the third day since Wang Hao returned to China.

On this day, just after dawn, the Wanda Vista Starlight Hotel, a joint venture between Wanda Group and Galaxy Group, one block away from the Galaxy Group’s headquarters building, welcomed a group of new guests.

First, the logistics staff of Galaxy Group began to set up the celebration party for "Inception" together with the waiters of Wanda Vista Starlight Hotel.

As the most luxurious hotel near the [Oriental Galaxy Movie Metropolis], this place plays a role in hosting various large-scale banquets and events within the overall planning of the film and television industry park.

Therefore, there is a huge semicircular banquet hall next to the hotel.

Today, the celebration party for "Inception" will be held here. In addition to the CEOs of major film and television companies, well-known stars and directors, those who come to attend the celebration party will also include various media and senior leaders of related industries, so the staff on site can't help but be nervous.

Before the celebration party started in the afternoon, Wang Hao met with the propaganda leader who had arrived early in the business reception room on the eighth floor of the Mandarin Starlight Hotel.

"Good leadership!"

Looking at the respectful and promising young Wang Hao, the leader did not put on airs at all. He shook hands with him kindly, then praised him with a smile.

"The domestic box office is 14 billion, and the global total box office is close to the third place in the film and television industry. Xiao Wang, you have surpassed all the old predecessors with this move. It is true that every generation has its own talents!"

“The leadership is overrated.

Excellent products of film industry like "Inception" are never the work of one person alone.

This is the result of the hard work and wisdom of all crew members. It is also the crystallization of the hard work of the predecessors in the development of the film and television industry to this day, and it is also a by-product of China's economic development.

Without these prerequisites and the soil that nurtures the work, we would not be able to make such a world-class science fiction blockbuster."

The smile on Wang Hao's face was very humble, without any of the arrogance and pride that young people have when they are in a state of great success. Instead, it showed a deep skill in cultivating qi, which also made the big boss look at him with even higher regard.

"Very good. You are not arrogant or impatient after your success. You know how to summarize your experience and your gains and losses. It seems that I will be able to witness the birth of more excellent works from you in the future."

Wang Hao was no longer modest at this time and nodded vigorously.

“That’s natural. Our country’s national strength is steadily improving, the economy is developing rapidly, and even its international status is making great strides.

Under such circumstances, the public's sense of national pride arises naturally, and it is an excellent opportunity for the cultural industry to flourish.

And science fiction films, the modern jewel of the cultural industry, will surely usher in its golden age.

All conditions are ripe, and in the future we will certainly create more and better science fiction works and spread China's excellent culture to all parts of the world."

"Hahaha!"

The big leader laughed, but did not respond. Instead, he joked to Mr. Han San and Director La who were accompanying him:
"Old Han, you always say he is mature beyond his years. I think he has a family background in learning, so success is inevitable."

Mr. Han also smiled and was about to say something nice to suit the situation, but the big boss suddenly looked serious and asked Wang Hao indifferently:

"It seems that our Wang Dao also has some of the sentiments of a scholar who is concerned about the country and the people. I wonder if you have any unique insights on the spread of Chinese culture?"
