Chapter 426 TV Series Department

After talking to Zhou Hong on the phone, Zhou Yan stopped asking about the situation and focused on the post-production of the movie.

He has a heavier task now because there are still some songs in "Time Traveler" that have not been recorded.

When the movie was being filmed, Zhou Yan had already asked Zhang Youan and others to find suitable singers. Most of them have been decided and are waiting for them to come to Yanjing to record. There are also some songs that have not been decided yet.

But Zhou Yan is not in a hurry. Anyway, there are plans for these things. Even if the plan cannot be completed, there is always a plan to cover it up.

About three or four days later, as soon as Zhou Yan returned to the music studio from the editing room, Xiao Li at the front desk took an email and said, "Teacher Zhou, I have your express mail."

"Where did it come from?" Zhou Yan asked.

"Pengcheng."

"Pengcheng?"

Zhou Yan took the express mail and looked at the shipping information. The express mail was sent from Zhou's office building.

The express mail is quite thin, it feels like it is only as thick as a letter.

He didn't ask any questions and returned to his office with the letter.

After returning to the office, he gently opened the express mail. Inside was often a page of newspaper... not a page, but a quarter page, cut out from the entire newspaper.

Zhou Yan took the newspaper in his hand and read it, then his eyes slowly widened.

In this newspaper, it was reported that the recent Pengcheng police crackdown on gangs and evil was a great success, and many gang-related dens were wiped out.

It was also mentioned above that one of them was from a gang-related group in Hong Kong.

Although this news did not provide specific information about "individuals", Zhou Yan immediately understood it based on where the newspaper was sent.

This is the result given by Zhou Hong.

The Xiangjiang man who was caught was the mastermind behind the beating of Jiang Mengfei and the others.

Zhou Yan immediately called Zhou Hong.

As soon as the call was connected, Zhou Hong smiled and said, "Have you received the newspaper?"

"Yes, received."

"Are you worthy of your subordinates now?"

"Mengfei and the others must be very happy to know this, but I'm curious, how did you do this? I read on the news that they were caught in Pengcheng. How did the other party get to Pengcheng?"

"Put out some bait and the fish will take the bait. It's not that complicated."

"In this situation, is it appropriate to arrest them? Did they really break the law in Pengcheng?"

Xiangjiang has not returned yet. If the other party did not break the law in Pengcheng, it would be really difficult to deal with it in Pengcheng.

However, Zhou Yan knows how Zhou Hong handles things and will not leave any excuses to others.

"There's nothing wrong with it. Several of the restaurants that the father and son bought in Xiangjiang were run by mainlanders, so this matter is not just a matter in Xiangjiang."

Zhou Yan nodded. In this way, it was justified for the Pengcheng police to dispatch.

"How long are they going to be in there?"

"I don't know yet. I estimate that the results won't be available until July next year. It's hard to judge now."

Zhou Yan probably understands what is going on. After July next year, when Xiangjiang returns, the courts in Pengcheng will be much more comfortable handling this case without too many worries. They can even handle the two cases together. .

If other cases can be handled together, the other party may have to stay in there for a long time.

"What did you mean when you said they were father and son? Did you get that second-generation ancestor's father into it too?"

"If you shoot a man first, shoot a horse, and to capture a thief first capture the king. If you don't get Chen Zhaoji's father in, then he will still have to jump around outside, which is very troublesome. Now that both father and son have gone in, their family has no support in Xiangjiang. If the tree falls and the monkeys scatter, the Chen family's property will soon be divided up by others, and naturally no one will come to fish for them. Although I am not afraid of others, it will still be troublesome. "

Zhou Yan was secretly stunned. His brother was a snake hunter who specialized in hitting snakes within seven inches. He was so ruthless and cut off the Chen family's escape route.

In this way, even if the opponent's sentence is short, it will be difficult to make a comeback after coming out.

"Do they know who did this to them?" Zhou Yan asked.

"I didn't say it. Don't you think it would be a relief not to let them know that they went in because they offended you? If that's the case, I can have someone send a message to tell them the truth."

Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Forget it, let them guess by themselves."

"This is the right thing. If you step on such a small character, you will step on it. There is no need to say anything more. You should leave less traces when doing things, otherwise, you may get into trouble at any time."

"clear."

"It's over now, don't think about it too much, it's a waste of time. I'm going back home in a while, do you want to come with me?"

"when?"

"Mid-November?"

Zhou Yan thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I won't have time in mid-November. There is still a lot of work in the post-production of "Time Traveler". What are you doing back?"

"Blind date."

Hearing that Zhou Hong was going back for a blind date, Zhou Yan laughed and said, "Why are you dragging me back for a blind date? Who is the blind date this time? Which leader's daughter?"

"This time it's an ordinary family, and the other party is a middle school teacher."

"Middle school teacher? Third uncle introduced me?"

"It's really not the case. The other person is a teacher at the High School Affiliated to Normal University, and his parents are both workers."

Zhou Yan asked curiously, "Who introduced you to such a background?"

Under normal circumstances, since it is a blind date, the introducer will definitely introduce someone who is a good match.

It was like this before. The people introduced to the Zhou brothers were all children of high-ranking officials, ranging from provincial governors to department-level cadres. Although the span was quite large, they were all within the system.

No one had ever introduced children from working-class families. From the traditional concept of family background, it was indeed not appropriate.

Although the Zhou family might not mind, generally the introducer would not do such an offensive thing.

"I don't know what the situation is. Maybe it's because I introduced too many people before, and I introduced all those with similar conditions."

"You went back just for a blind date?" Zhou Yan asked again.

Zhou Hong was so busy every day, why would he go back home specifically for a blind date? This is not his style at all.

"It's just for a blind date, nothing else."

"Well, I wish you all the best. Since they can introduce you to a girl with such a background, it means that the girl must be very outstanding. Maybe you will like her this time."

"Well, female teachers are all the same."

Zhou Yan rolled his eyes on the other end of the phone, "Second brother, I don't like what you said. Why are female teachers all the same? Do you have a prejudice against female teachers, or against our group of teachers?"

"No prejudice, but there are already two teachers in our family, you and the third uncle. The sixth and eighth brothers also said that they would become teachers in the future. If another teacher comes in, our family will become a nest of teachers."

"Isn't that great?"

"Hehe, you are in school every day, and you haven't even talked about dating a teacher. "The teacher's girlfriend."

"That's different. You can't find a partner."

"..."

"Okay, take the blind date seriously. Don't take it lightly. You're almost 30, and your grandparents are getting anxious."

"Okay, okay, you're going to teach me a lesson now, right?"

"That can't be helped. I don't want my family to worry about this."

"Well, people with partners are tough. Since you're so tough, you should pay more for the decoration of your family's villa. 20 million, and it will be directly deducted from your dividends. "

Zhou Yan got anxious all of a sudden, "Hey, don't, isn't it up to each family to do the decoration? I still have this money..."

"Beep beep beep..."

There was a dead tone in the microphone, and Zhou Yan wanted to slap himself in the face.

It's all because of my mouthiness. 20 million is gone again.

..."

Zhou Yan hung up the phone and called the building opposite, calling Jiang Mengfei over, and then told him about the Chen family father and son.

After listening to Zhou Yan, Jiang Mengfei slapped his thigh excitedly, "Old Zhou, I knew you wouldn't let this go. I didn't expect you to do such a big thing quietly."

"This matter mainly depends on my brother. He is the one who operated it."

"When I see Mr. Zhou again, I will definitely thank him in person."

"In fact, it was the father and son of the Chen family who did the bad thing. Otherwise, we really couldn't do anything to them. Just the fact that you were beaten up can't bring them down."

"This is called evil will be punished."

"Okay, I'm angry now. Don't think about this matter anymore. Take good care of your injuries during this period. , our studio will have a lot of business next year. "

"A lot of business?" Jiang Mengfei asked with blinking eyes, "What do you mean?"

"Next year, our studio will have several movies to shoot, and in addition to movies, we will also set up a TV series department. Since we are going to set up a TV series department, we must transfer people there. When the time comes, I want you to go there and support the TV series department."

"Me?" Jiang Mengfei pointed at his nose and said in surprise, "I have been doing props and logistics, and I don't know much about TV series. How can I support the TV series department?"

"It means that you will do logistics coordination for the TV series department, mainly management, not work."

"Am I suitable?"

Zhou Yan poured a cup of water from the teapot and pushed it in front of Jiang Mengfei, "I think you are quite suitable. You have sufficient experience in the crew and are very familiar with the entire process of film and television production. Although the production of TV series is not the same as that of movies, I believe you can quickly figure it out. And you have good relationships with the upper and lower levels of the studio. Letting you go there will definitely be more reliable than me finding someone else from outside, and it will also allow the TV series department to integrate into the studio faster. Building a house requires work Foundation, you are the foundation. "

"I..."

"You don't have confidence?"

When Jiang Mengfei heard Zhou Yan say this, he sat up straight, "I definitely have confidence. If you want to do creation, I'm definitely not good at it, but I still have experience in logistics services. I also understand what you mean. Our studio is short of staff now. If we want to set up a TV series department, we must recruit many people from outside. If you let me go first, you will have better control over this department. "

Zhou Yan nodded. Although Jiang Mengfei is careless, he is not stupid at all.

When it comes to management ability, Jiang Mengfei is definitely not outstanding.

But management is not just about personal ability.

Zhou Yan can naturally find someone from outside to lead the establishment of the TV series department. The person he recruited may have better management ability than Jiang Mengfei.

But can Zhou Yan guarantee that this person is of the same mind as him?

And the people recruited from outside are not familiar with other people in the studio, so when they start working later, it may not be smooth.

Zhou Yan threw Jiang Mengfei over and asked him to do a good job in the department's service, and then assigned him some corresponding talents, which not only ensured the control of the new department, but also allowed the new department to integrate into their original work system as soon as possible.

In addition, it was also a signal to the people below that following him, Zhou Yan, would have a bright future, which was a bit like buying a horse's bones with a lot of money.

If there is no hope of progress, who can work steadily behind you?

"Since you understand, then make good preparations. After the new department is established, you will first serve as the department head and take charge of the logistics service work. You don't have to do the specific affairs of the TV series production, just leave it to professionals. You play a role in connecting the upper and lower levels. When the department expands later, a department manager position will be added. As for whether you can become this manager, it depends on how well you do in the early stage."

Zhou Yan first gave Jiang Mengfei a bite of the small cake, and then very naturally painted a big cake for him.

Jiang Mengfei was so excited by Zhou Yan's promise, "Don't worry, Lao Zhou, I will do my best and live up to your expectations. I can't help much with production, but I will ensure the smooth operation of the new department and won't hold you back."

"That's it. Others will take care of the production. I'll also tell you about the new department in advance. After the new department is established, we will mainly cooperate with Qizi Advertising Company in the early stage. The cooperation model between the two parties is that they are responsible for investing money and we are responsible for production."

"Do we have to sign many TV directors?"

"Not really. After we get the project, we will form a team based on the project. At other times, we only need some core members."

"That's similar to the situation in the film department."

"It's similar overall, but there are some differences, because Qizi will also set up a film and television company, so you will encounter a situation later, that is, Qizi has already decided on the money, script, director, and even actors, and just uses our team and equipment to produce."

Jiang Mengfei nodded. This is indeed different from the situation in the film department.

The film department now mainly serves several directors such as Zhou Yan and Wang Xiaoshuai. Generally, these directors submit new film plans to the film department for evaluation.

After the evaluation results are feasible, the studio will contact funds, form a team, find indicators, and then start shooting.

The TV series department may have much less to do. They have become a link in the assembly line, and some of the early work is handed over to Qizhi. (End of this chapter)
