Chapter 102: Cooperation?

According to the original plan, the "Secrets of the Three Kingdoms" game, film and television drama linkage development...

Andy Lau helped stand on the platform and promote.

That's what Lao Liu planned!

However, things can't catch up with the changes - Lao Liu has been in trouble recently!

"The Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor", which has been confirmed to be released for the Chinese New Year, has been pulled down for the reason: suspected of blindly changing the famous book...

Or because of "Lust and Caution".

"Lust Caution" released on November 1 triggered the Tang Wei phenomenon, what "Lust Caution" itself is about, it doesn't matter, most of the audience watched pirated discs on the Internet, and then only talked about purple grapes and paper needles...

The movie itself really doesn't matter, the story of "Lust and Caution" can be summed up in one sentence: a patriotic young man wanted to trap and kill a traitor through his body, but he didn't expect to be conquered by him...

However, Tang Wei became an instant hit, and the value of advertising skyrocketed by 30 times.

It's really a hot topic among the people!

At the same time, a regulation on the strictness of censorship specifications is also brewing, which should be in March next year, and the General Administration officially issued a document - "Notice on Reiterating Film Censorship Standards"...

Tang Wei was completely banned!

can only say that the General Administration bullies the weak and fears the hard, so you will issue a ban on Li An's film from being released in China, what's wrong?

Is it interesting to tickle your boots?

Of course, the most affected now are some co-productions, even if they have already obtained the release permit, they have been beaten back, not only "Raptor" has been twisted and turned, but "Three Kingdoms" has also distorted history - originally "Seeing the Dragon and Unloading the Armor" was to be set for the New Year!

In this context, Lao Liu didn't dare to pay casually...

So he shared the "Secrets of the Three Kingdoms" project with the Emperor, who has long been laying out the mainland TV industry - sending his general Xie Qiwang to appear in various CCTV martial arts dramas...

Lao Yang is Yang Shoucheng, and he has always had a lot of ideas about mainland historical dramas...

The favorite mainland dramas of the older generation of Hong Kong film and television helmsmen: "Mansion Gate", "Towards the Republic"...

It's all a big drama!

"Secrets of the Three Kingdoms" is of course the Three Kingdoms in terms of theme, but most of the things recorded are historical materials, but the protagonists have been replaced by the Han family and Cao Wei!

......

Shen Mengxi and Ma Boyong were warmly entertained...

Hong Kong-style seafood also ate a few...

What Ma Boyong thinks, Shen Mengxi doesn't know, but he himself has a ridiculous feeling...

I'm here to invest, not to invest!

Reversed identity?

And don't talk about anything, just hospitality!

What are you doing?

Want to let the mainland buns see the prosperity of capitalism on Hong Kong Island?

I'll tell you, it's not good - I'm going to fight ten!

On the fifth day of arriving in Hong Kong, Shen Mengxi finally met Yu Weiguo...

"Brother Yu..."

Yu Weiguo looked serious: "Sit down first, let's make a long story short!"

“... Well. ”

"Emperor and Shangying have set up a cooperative company, you know?"

“... I seem to have heard of it..."

The full name is Shangying Emperor Culture Development Co., Ltd., which has produced works such as "Myth", "Summer of Bubbles", "King of Lanling", "Golden Branches and Jade Leaves"...

"They have a lot of ideas about "Secrets of the Three Kingdoms"..."

Shen Mengxi was almost speechless: "... Shangying is interested in "Secrets of the Three Kingdoms"?

"What's wrong?"

"I only met Ren Zhonglun last week, you said it earlier, I'll talk to him directly!"

Yu Weiguo paused: "... Do you know Mr. Ren?"

"Of course, he's a friend of my uncle, and we know each other well!"

Well, Ren Zhonglun is Yan Yiyun's old friend, so Shen Mengxi didn't lie...

Yu Weiguo changed his tone and asked first: "Then what do you think about the role?"

""Secrets of the Three Kingdoms" is positioned as a historical conspiracy drama, and the historical genre is best to use mainland actors, I suggest that most actors should look for it from the mainland, especially the protagonists!"

“... The Emperor also has actors..."

"That white soldier can play Zhen Mi, forget about the rest, you have to find a voice actor, it's too troublesome!"

That's right, eating, drinking, and playing these days are all paid by Lao Yang...

You can't give nothing!

Yu Weiguo: "But do this, Star TV..."

Shen Mengxi didn't care: "You said that Shangying is interested, I will personally go to talk to Boss Ren, there are more TV stations in the mainland that cooperate with Shangying..."

Yu Weiguo was stunned for a while, and said, "I'll make a call..."

Shen Mengxi: "Please..."

Ma Boyong, who was sitting next to him, didn't say a word, and watched the two of them fight the whole time...

......

People clearly want to dry you for a few days, and then come to talk to you again!

It's better to put it off until you're in a hurry, but you don't know what to do...

At this time, they will talk about the conditions again, such as investment shares, role appointments and dismissals, etc., and Shen Mengxi will be able to agree...

And so their purpose was achieved...

The reason why Ren Zhonglun's name was mentioned in the first place was to let Shen Mengxi know that their partner had a background.

On the shadow!

Even if they get rid of you, they can do it alone!

Is the copyright yours?

So what?

It's just that I never expected Shen Mengxi to be so familiar with Ren Zhonglun...

It's not easy to lie about this thing, the helmsmen of these film and television companies on Hong Kong Island that have developed in the north are clear about all forces in the mainland!

If you investigate casually, you will know the relationship between Shen Mengxi and Yan Yiyun, and then know his relationship with Ren Zhonglun...

The plan fell through all at once!

Over there, Yu Weiguo seemed to be discussing something with someone, and hung up the phone for more than ten minutes.

He sat down again, completely changing to a deliberative tone: "... Producer Shen, do you think this will work?"

"You say!"

"Brother Hua serves as a producer and producer, and he is not involved in the production of the work, but he can help with publicity and platform for free, and we account for 20% of the investment; Emperor participates in the investment of 20%, and you give two main roles..."

"Two main characters?"

"They can come out with Xie Tingfeng and Zhong Xingtong!"

“... I said, the emperor can participate if he wants to, there is only one supporting actress, and she can only be a white soldier, and I don't welcome the others, even if they come, they can only play a supporting role!"

When Yu Weiguo heard the sentence 'I can't even speak Mandarin well, and I still want to go north to make money', I knew Shen Mengxi's attitude...

I'm not used to these people!

Even a Canadian like Dashan can speak fluent Mandarin, why can't Hong Kong people speak it well?

The form is stronger than the person, Yu Weiguo had no choice but to nod, Shen Mengxi also understood, it seems that this is not the bottom line - he was communicating the bottom line when he called just now...

"What about the investment of Yingyi Entertainment?"

Shen Mengxi nodded: "Yes, wait until I go back and calculate the production cost in detail, and then report the bill to you... I calculated the day before yesterday, at least 35 million!

Yu Weiguo shook his head: "I mean we are out of Brother Hua's propaganda..."

Shen Mengxi still didn't understand, and looked at him suspiciously, Yu Weiguo simply picked it out: "I think Brother Hua's participation is worth at least 20 million!"

“... Do you mean you don't invest a dime? We sell the show and get 20% of you?"

Yu Weiguo nodded...

He was embarrassed to nod his head?

Hey, you can figure it out, "Crazy Stone" is not an investment for me, it is Ning Hao who owes you a favor, not me Shen Mengxi!

Subsequently, he put forward his own conditions: "We can contribute to the copyright sales in Hong Kong and Taiwan..."

Shen Mengxi shook his head: "... No, I met with Sato-kun of Tokyo Pictures a few times, and mentioned the project "Secrets of the Three Kingdoms", and he said that TV Tokyo is very interested in the theme of the Three Kingdoms, and I can ask him if he wants to buy the copyright..."
