Li Hong didn't think too much about it, just treating it as a web series he hadn't seen before.
"Well, you can come for an interview at our company," Li Hong finally said.
Wu Jin had quite a good set of qualifications that matched Li Hong's requirements. If only he were not limited to military-themed works, it would have been even better.
Of course, finding a suitable director was already a significant achievement; Li Hong couldn't be too demanding. Wu Jin still had room to grow, and he might be able to explore other genres in the future.
Moreover, military war films could still have a chance for success if the script was outstanding. There were plenty of high-quality military-themed stories available online, which could serve as a direction to consider.
"Great! Thank you, Li Hong. I'm in the capital and will be there soon," Wu Jin said excitedly.
After hanging up the phone with Wu Jin, Li Hong immersed himself back into the task of finding directors.
Sweet Potato Films was about to launch over a dozen major projects, and they needed more than just one or two directors. A large number of directors and crew members were required.
In Li Hong's initial plan, Sweet Potato needed at least three directors. This meant he still had to recruit three more directors.
Due to the limitations of the genre, Wu Jin wouldn't occupy one of those spots. Li Hong was bringing Wu Jin on board simply to expand the directing team.
"Charlie, are there any suitable candidates among the remaining options?" Li Hong asked, looking up.
Charlie picked up several printed resumes and handed them to Li Hong. "Boss, take a look yourself. I think there are a few promising talents here. With some nurturing from our company, they could become excellent directors in the future."
Hearing this from Charlie, Li Hong quickly scanned through the resumes he received.
"Wang Yu, from Magic City, Television Director. He has over ten years of directing experience and has directed no less than ten works, possessing deep expertise in television dramas..."
“Television Director Ah…” Li Hong felt a bit confused; this television drama was completely different from a movie. Although there were indeed some talented individuals who excelled in both fields, they were few and far between. Most people simply couldn't thrive simultaneously in the television and film industries.
Wang Yu had quite a few commendable qualities, and Li Hong was satisfied. However, it was Television Director's experience that left Li Hong feeling perplexed.
Suddenly, Li Hong recalled a crucial point.
The online literary adaptations they had purchased included not just films but also television dramas and web series.
This meant that the network they acquired could not only produce films for profit but also create television dramas and web series to earn money.
It also indicated that they needed a director who specialized in television dramas to lead the projects.
While Wang Yu might not be great at making films, having directed so many television drama projects suggested that directing a TV series would likely pose no problem.
He was hired!
Li Hong didn't hesitate; after all, he had already brought on board Wu Jin, so adding another director like Wang Yu, who had a serious specialization, wasn't a big deal.
Thus, Li Hong quickly dialed Wang Yu's number from the Resume.
…
After securing Wang Yu, Li Hong swiftly moved on to review the second Resume.
This second Resume was somewhat lengthy, filled with detailed descriptions of the applicant's life and experiences.
The applicant for this Resume was quite unusual; it wasn't an individual but rather a group.
Indeed, when Li Hong saw that this applicant was actually a team, he was left speechless in surprise.
“Happy Mahua Team, a well-known performing arts group in the theater industry. They have held numerous grand stage performances…”
The team had heard that your company intended to make a significant impact in the film industry, so they self-recommended. "We have a top-notch performance team and a qualified directing and post-production crew..."
After reading the introduction of the Happy Mahua Team's resume, Li Hong found himself at a loss for words.
He wanted to shout out loud: "Do you really think this is a shelter? Can't you bring in a serious director?"
Despite his confusion about why a drama troupe would venture into film, he couldn't help but admire the Happy Mahua Team's resume.
This team was indeed renowned in the theater world. Their performances had garnered countless honors both domestically and internationally.
Even someone like Li Hong, who didn't watch dramas, had heard of the Happy Mahua Team's reputation.
He recalled seeing a post on Deaf Space about a theater group that absorbed the essence of online literature, with many of their performances closely related to web novels.
Take Happy Mahua's "Charlotte's Troubles," for instance; it was essentially a reincarnation story combined with entertainment tropes! Just because they added two melodramatic romantic subplots didn't mean it wasn't a reincarnation entertainment story.
There were many similar programs, and "Shy Iron Fist" was closely tied to the currently popular cross-dressing theme.
Indeed, the Happy Mahua Team was the theater troupe most in touch with the audience. After all, web literature is a form of literature that resonates with the grassroots, and with its roots in web literature, the Happy Mahua Team naturally connected well with viewers.
With the popular characteristics of web literature, it was no surprise that the Happy Mahua Team achieved such impressive results in the theater world.
In fact, based solely on impressions, Li Hong was most satisfied with the Happy Mahua Team. After all, he had already prepared a development plan for Sweet Potato Films, which would always focus on adapting online content in the future.
Since it was about adaptations from online sources, there was no team more suitable than Happy Mahua.
Coming from the theater world, they had solid acting skills and stage foundations. Moreover, their approach aligned closely with Sweet Potato Films. The combination of the two could be truly harmonious.
However, a question arose: since they came from the theater world, how strong were their directing skills?
Could a film produced by Happy Mahua really meet or exceed acceptable standards?
Li Hong felt a bit uncertain, but he was determined not to let this opportunity slip away.
He contacted the person in charge of the Happy Mahua Team, Zhang Chen, using the contact information left on the Resume.
"Hello, I am Li Hong, the chairman of Sweet Potato Films. Is this the Happy Mahua Team?"
A middle-aged man's voice quickly came through on the other end. "Yes, yes, we are the Happy Mahua Team. Li Hong, right? Has our Resume met your company's requirements?"
"It has, but I still have a question I would like to ask Mr. Zhang."
"Of course, what is your question?"
Li Hong hesitated for a moment before finally asking, "Mr. Zhang, I believe in the capabilities of your Happy Mahua Team. However, film and theater are two entirely different fields. How can you ensure that the Happy Mahua Team will maintain its competitive edge in the film industry as it does in theater?"
