Chapter 546 - It's Not a Day Job
In the office, after listening to Zhou Mu's statement, Yang Hong's first reaction was, "You are crazy......
"Sister Hong, be calm. Zhou Mu said with a smile: "This matter, even if it fails, there are no serious consequences." ”
“...... Hmph!"
Yang Hong's face calmed down slightly. After thinking about it for a while, she knew that this matter was not so much a bet as an agreement.
In fact, if the agreement is not completed, there is no loss for Zhou Mu.
On the contrary, he helps Shanhai make movies, and he is not a free laborer. Zhao Shanhai also promised to give him a director's fee according to the market price, and there will be a bonus from the film.
So even if the total box office of the movie is less than 5 billion. Zhou Mu can also get a good salary, not a day job.
"Anyway, this year, the company's schedule is full, and there is no place for me. Zhou Mu said lightly: "So I went out to make extra money, Sister Hong, you can't object." ”
"Where's the arrangement?"
Yang Hong said angrily: "The director on the edge of tomorrow has not yet been found...... Or are you going to take this movie and go to the mountains and seas?"
"How is this possible. Zhou Mu smiled, "Such a small-budget movie, it is estimated that the mountains and seas will not look down on it." ”
"It can be a big cost. ”
Yang Hong suggested: "Aliens, all kinds of warships, huge battlefields. As long as you have the heart, what big scene is not?"
"Forget it, the main attraction of this movie is the stalk of time reset. If you ink too much on special effects, it's easy to put the cart before the horse. ”
Zhou Mu shook his head and said, "Keep this movie for yourself." Besides, Edge of Tomorrow, along with the source code and the prisoner of time, can complement each other and form momentum. ”
"You have a bit of a conscience. ”
Yang Hong completely eased up, after all, Zhou Mu's starting point was also to make efforts for the listing of Qinghong Culture.
But......
"Zhao Shanhai, that old fox, is very calculating. ”
Yang Hong reminded, "When you decide to cooperate with him, as soon as the news spreads, Shanhai's stock price will definitely rise." When the movie is released, no matter whether there are five billion or not, as long as the results are not bad, the stock price can rise again. ”
"With the market value of Shanhai, as long as it rises by two or three points, it will be worth tens of billions. ”
Yang Hong complained, "A shrewd old ghost, he doesn't lose anything." ”
Zhou Mu didn't mind, "Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to, so warm-hearted, he has to help the company support the bottom." In fact, it's okay to do this, the price is clearly marked, and there is no need to owe favors. ”
"You think so...... That's right, too. ”
Yang Hong asked with concern: "However, are you sure? Five billion, it is not easy to estimate." It's really not good, just in Super Body 4, a little share of the mountains and seas. ”
"Nope. ”
Zhou Mu waved his hand, "If you talk about the super body series, it's easy to lose the initiative." This is the company's core asset, and it is best to wait for others to come to negotiate, and you can't take the initiative to use this for financing, negotiation conditions, etc. ”
Five billion, what a threshold.
Hundreds of movies are released every year, and only a few have become hits. But the box office of these popular films is only more than 4 billion, not 50.
"I have confidence ......"
Zhou Mu was full of confidence.
Even if he muttered in his heart, he was not sure. But on the surface, he is very determined, "Big deal, play a funny comedy again." ”
"Comedy is very profitable, yes. Yang Hong frowned, "But this genre also has a box office ceiling, and its potential is limited." On the box office rankings, what broke the threshold of 5 billion was basically special effects industrial blockbusters. ”
"Yes. ”
Zhou Mu didn't care, "It's okay, I'll talk about it then." Anyway, there is no specific time limit for this agreement, and it is subject to the company before it goes public. ”
"Weigh it up for yourself. ”
Yang Hong was helpless, she couldn't control this kind of thing.
Anyway, Zhou Mu doesn't suffer losses.
“...... The source code is already underway. ”
Yang Hong changed the topic, "There is still time for prisoners, and we have already begun to look for actors." Du Changfeng ...... you recommend"
"What?" Zhou Mu asked, "Is there a problem?"
"No problem, I'm interested. ”
Yang Hong said sincerely: "Don't talk about the director's ability, anyway, he has too much eyesight." In particular, I don't know how to practice the ability to observe words and colors. I didn't say any of my opinions, so he apologized first and corrected them immediately...... I'm embarrassed. ”
"Haha. ”
Zhou Mu smiled, "You should understand that for some people, opportunities are not easy to come by, and he cherishes them very much, so it is inevitable that he will pay attention to them." ”
"I know, for Yu Nian's sake, I won't do anything to him. Yang Hong was also a little hesitant, "But are you sure, can he really make this movie?"
may be accustomed to the arrogance of some directors, and she is a little unaccustomed to Du Changfeng's "flattery" and "slapping horses". It was inevitable that there was a trace of doubt in my heart, and I felt that the other party was purely relying on the support of Yu Nian to have this opportunity.
Waste of money, it doesn't matter.
Tens of millions, Qinghong culture can afford to lose.
The point is, such a good script can't be easily ruined.
Regarding Yang Hong's worries, Zhou Mu took practical actions to dispel her concerns, "I'll take a look and let him correct any problems." ”
"Good, good ......"
Yang Hong nodded in satisfaction, and added, "By the way, go and see the leaves by the way." She's struggling with which script to take. ”
Source code, Edge of Tomorrow.
Although the original book is a male lead movie, if Ye Zijin wants to act, he can naturally change the character setting and adjust the protagonist to a woman. With her current popularity, it is more than enough to carry the box office of a small-budget commercial film.
So Zhou Mu was surprised and didn't understand what Ye Zijin was embarrassed about.
He left the office and went to the Artist Center.
Such a large floor is his territory. If it weren't for the functional rooms, the spacious spaces would be separated, and it would be cold to see.
After all, there are too few artists signed by Qinghong Culture.
Even during this time, the company was busy recruiting and admitting many people. But in the business of signing artists, there is no movement, which makes many people who are looking forward to it very disappointed.
Some artists who have cooperated with Qinghong Culture even beat around the bush and got in touch with Yang Hong, knocking on the side and confiding their hearts......
Zhou Mu doesn't care about recruiting more people.
It's just that Yang Hong is confused, she is thinking about the direction of the company's development.
Is it to learn from big companies, sign a lot of artists, like raising Gu, let them compete for resources by themselves, win positions, and the winner is king. Or continue to adhere to the "small workshop" style business philosophy, focus on training a few people.
There are pros and cons in both directions.
Yang Hong wavered and, without thinking it through, decided to stay as it was.
So Ye Zijin's resources, in the eyes of others, are simply happy. After all, the biggest brands, Zhou Mu and Xu Lime, basically don't "show up" much.
Manufacturers, brands and the like want to cooperate with Qinghong Culture.
The first choice is naturally Ye Zijin.
What's more, the success of the super body series not only made her super popular in China, but also had her fans overseas, and established a special website for her to support.
This incident, reported by domestic reporters, is at most the icing on the cake.
After all, she has been too hot recently, and her popularity has ushered in an explosive period.
On the bright side, the number of fans has exceeded 100 million. There is more than Wang Shaoai, the honor of picking the first small flower.
Popularity and status are often linked.
The most significant change is undoubtedly her team of agents and assistants.
In the past, there were at most four or five people around her. Now there are twenty or thirty people in an independent area of more than 200 square meters, who are dedicated to serving her.
When Zhou Mu knocked on the door and entered, he saw a busy scene. What advertisements, fashion magazine cover appointments, catwalks, TV shows, interviews, commercial performances......
One phone call after another.
Seven or eight computers and laptops, crisp and continuous.
As soon as he entered the door, a group of people looked up, immediately stopped what they were doing, and got up to greet him.
"Director!"
"Brother Mu!"
At the same time as the call, someone had already run in and informed Ye Zijin.
"You're busy, don't worry about me. ”
Zhou Mu waved his hand.
No one listened to him, and welcomed him warmly into the innermost part.
"Brother, you're here. Ye Zijin's eyes were worried, muddy, fluffy hair, slightly curly, and anxious.
The two assistants, hurriedly beside them, took a wooden comb, sprayed a little water mist, and carefully combed her smoothly.
"Are you sleeping?" Zhou Mu sighed lightly, "Isn't there a lot of recent trips, do you want me to talk to Sister Hong and give you a few days off?"
Hearing this, Ye Zijin's eyes lit up slightly, but the people around her stopped talking.
“...... It's okay, I can hold it. ”
Ye Zijin finally refused, and said with a sweet smile: "After all, many itineraries have already been discussed, and if they are suddenly pushed off, it will cause trouble to others." ”
"Yes, Director. ”
An assistant hurriedly said: "Zijin still has to focus on stabilizing his popularity, and by the way, he will compete for the list." ”
"What list?" Zhou Mu was puzzled.
"Eh, you go pour tea. ”
Ye Zijin's face was slightly red, preventing the assistant from continuing, and then asked, "Brother, do you have something to look for me?"
"It's nothing, just look at you, by the way. ”
Zhou Mu said directly: "Of the company's two movies, which one do you plan to choose?"
"I don't care, let Brother Xiaobai choose first. Ye Zijin was very angry, but the subtle little expression betrayed her careful thinking.
Zhou Mu saw it and was a little surprised, "Why, you can't watch the two movies?" ”
"Why!"
Ye Zijin hurriedly defended, "Brother, don't slander me. I just think that both scripts are very good, and you can choose either one. ”
It's the truth.
A group of people next to him nodded their heads.
Privately, they had discussed it. There is one thing to say, the two movies are both key projects of the company, and there is no bias. So no matter which movie Ye Zijin chooses, the result will not be bad.
Zhou Mu frowned, "Yezi, do you have any other ideas?"
