Chapter 50: Columbus (Global) Film and Television Company
Mu Feibai was very busy.
In his opinion, the reason why he came here to invite Li Youqing to join his film and television company is nothing more than to value Li Youqing's current influence in China, and he just wants to use this to quickly expand the film and television company.
Of course, this does not mean that he has to be inferior to Li Youqing and enthusiastically solicit him.
On the contrary, as a disciple of an internationally famous director, Mu Feibai believes that he has connections and resources that ordinary people can't reach.
So when she saw Li Youqing hesitating, she got up and left, leaving only a sentence for her to hurry up and think about it, and if it was too late, it would be outdated.
This is disdain.
It's also self-confidence.
"This Mr. Mu doesn't look so easy to get along with. Looking at the back of Mu Feibai leaving, Li Youqing said with a little feeling.
At this time, the grilled fish had been served, Ji Yingzi took a mouthful of hot fish meat and put it in his mouth to chew, and said: "It's just a crazy pretending to be a criminal, relying on himself to wear a vest abroad and come back, if my father hadn't asked me to restrain myself, we would have to see him in the hospital." ”
Li Youqing nodded, retracted his gaze and looked at the grilled fish on the table, and then picked up the chopsticks and ate them.
She paid for this meal, but she had to eat more to return to the cost, otherwise it would be a loss.
"What do you think about this?" Ji Yingzi couldn't help but ask when he saw this.
Li Youqing slowly picked up the fish bones with chopsticks, and replied when he heard the words: "I have to go back and discuss with Beibei to see what he thinks." One thing is for sure, though, that the 10-year contract is too long, and I probably won't be able to join if I can't shorten it. ”
Ten-year contract.
If you sign it, it is basically equivalent to losing your acting career for a lifetime, and once the same situation as Erjing Film and Television occurs halfway, it will be tantamount to ruining your entire acting career.
So she had to be cautious.
"Ten years is indeed a bit much, but I can help in this regard, after all, Mu Feibai wants to develop in China now, and he still has to rely on my father's connections. Ji Yingzi took a sip of liquor and said with a hiccup.
"Hmm. Li Youqing nodded, lowered his head and continued to eat.
Seeing this, Ji Yingzi didn't continue, and the two began to sweep the food.
After lunch, Li Youqing said goodbye to Ji Yingzi and left the small city fisherman's house to return to the Arcadia community, where Jiangbei was lying on the sofa playing with his mobile phone, and Zhang Jiuliang was drawing Doraemon illustrations in the study. As he has entered the sophomore semester, the gambling king's painting skills have grown greatly, and basically the quality of each painting is very high.
It's just a bit of waste paper, because the gambling king is a bold faction, and occasionally he paints and plays with a big stroke, and finally overflows the drawing paper.
"You're back. Jiangbei glanced up at his wife and said.
"Well, have you eaten?" Li Youqing put his bag away, walked to the sofa and sat down, and asked.
"Liang Liang cooked some noodles at noon and ate them. Jiangbei closed his phone and replied.
The wife is not at home, and there are few people in the family, Jiangbei is too lazy to cook, and it is generally a simple meal to fill the stomach, of course, if the gambling king is at home, these jobs will be handed over to her to do.
It's not that people are lazy, the main thing is to exercise the gambling king's ability to do housework, otherwise how can he marry someone like Li Youqing in the future without touching the spring water?
is a money-loser, if she can't even do housework, who else would want to marry her?
"I went to dinner with Mr. Ji at noon, and what is the closed disciple of the famous American director Robert Columbus, Chinese Mu Feibai, have you heard of it?" Li Youqing picked up the oranges in the fruit bowl on the coffee table and peeled them, and asked as he asked.
"I haven't heard of it, what's the matter?" Jiang Bei asked curiously.
It seems that this Mu Feibai wants to develop in China and has established a film and television company. Then you want to sign me and help me terminate the contract with Erjing Film and Television. Li Youqing didn't hide anything and recounted the events at noon.
Li Youqing's words made the old man instantly alert, and asked quietly on the surface: "Can this Mu Feibai solve the contract problem between you and Erjing Film and Television?"
Li Youqing handed him half of the peeled orange, broke another petal and put it in his mouth, shook his head and said: "I don't know, but this person was introduced by Mr. Ji, and he is a close disciple of Robert Columbus, so he must have the ability, maybe he can really solve the contract problem between me and Erjing Film and Television." ”
Dare to confidently say that it can solve the problem of Erjing Film and Television Snow Hidden Artists, it is definitely unrealistic to say that there is no strength and background, so in fact, both Li Youqing and Jiangbei after hearing the news have acquiesced to the other party's ability.
Since the other party has this ability, it is undoubtedly a new crisis for Jiangbei.
Because once Li Youqing and Erjing Film and Television are terminated, coupled with the sacrifice of her father-in-law Li Qiangguo, then for Li Youqing, all the obstacles around her will be cleared, and she will no longer need to bear any pressure, and she can develop comfortably in the entertainment industry.
This is bound to be detrimental to the situation as a whole.
"It's just that their conditions are harsh, and they want me to sign a 10-year contract. Just when Jiangbei was pondering this matter repeatedly in his heart, Xiao Nizi frowned again and said.
"Ten years will definitely not work, even if they can help you solve the cooperation with Erjing Film and Television, but who knows if they will be the second Erjing Film and Television?" Jiangbei shook his head, grasping this point to raise objections without exposing it.
"Yes, I was also more concerned about this, so I didn't agree to join on the spot. But Mr. Ji told me that it should be possible to reduce the contract period a little more, why don't you see how many years it is first?" Li Youqing thought as he chewed on an orange.
"Well, and I think that even if the time limit is reduced, we can wait for them to solve the contract problem between you and Erjing Film and Television first. At least in my opinion, Erjing Film and Television will not let you go so easily. ”
No matter how you talk about it, if you want to terminate the contract first, you must agree to Erjing Film and Television.
At present, Erjing Film and Television is in the hands of Jiangbei, and he really can't think of anyone who can take Li Youqing away as long as he doesn't agree.
"Hmm...... That's right. Li Youqing thought about it and felt that this sentence was very reasonable.
Seeing that his wife agreed, the old man breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, lowered his head and ate oranges.
The living room suddenly became quiet, only eating fruit and the sound of 'shua~shua~shua~' coming from inside the study from time to time.
"Beibei, why are you still sitting here?"
"Where am I going if I don't sit down?"
"It's time for you to plan your next movie, men must be motivated, not salted fish. ”
"Oh......"
"When I went to the study, I went to take a shower first, and the smell of grilled fish was uncomfortable. ”
After all, Li Youqing still hasn't forgotten the idea of cultivating Jiangbei to become a big director, and there seems to be no way to change this matter.
Jiangbei doesn't matter, anyway, he has decided that the next movie must be shot blindly, even if it is a good quality film, it must be shot blindly, and he will be on par with Director Bi.
But it's not good to study him, especially when it comes to reading books, it's easy to get sleepy, and in April, people are very tired, and they don't look at the book for a few minutes before they fight, and finally fall asleep with the book on their heads.
The study is big enough, the desk is big enough, the gambling king is drawing on the opposite side biu~biu~biu, and suddenly saw his brother falling, so he turned his head sideways and found that the person had fallen asleep, biting the pen and turning around for a while, tiptoeing up and picking up a paintbrush to paint on it.
The paint of the paintbrush was a little cold, and Jiang Bei vaguely felt the coolness on the door of his head in his sleep, and couldn't help but open his eyes and find that a pen was sticking to his head.
"What are you doing?"
Liang Liang, whose hands were frozen in the air, said with an embarrassed face: "Brother, do you believe me if I say that I am making art?"
"Huh. Jiang Bei sneered.
"Well, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, and I'll leave. "Liang Liang threw away the pen and turned his head to run.
"Come back!" Jiang Bei said in a deep voice.
"I'm sorry brother, that's not okay, I'll let you draw two Doraemon on my head, can you take double revenge?" Liang Liang saw that he couldn't escape, so he simply said his punishment by himself, and stood in place with his eyes closed with a generous and righteous expression.
"I don't paint, I have something to explain to you when you come here. Jiang Bei glanced at the door of the study and beckoned.
"What's the matter?" Liang Liang leaned over and asked in a low voice.
"Go and help me inquire about the information of the famous American director Robert Columbus and his disciple Mu Feibai, the most important thing is that this is called Mu Feibai, I need to know all his information. Jiangbei said seriously.
Since Mu Feibai wants to win over Li Youqing to join his film and television company, this person is on the opposite side of the black fan organization, and he must have all the details of it to deal with it.
"Why do you want to investigate this one called Mu Feibai?" Liang Liang didn't know about this, so her little head was still full of doubts.
Jiang Bei whispered a brief account of this matter, and after listening to it, Liang Liang suddenly realized, nodded and said, "I know, brother, give me a day." ”
Ancheng gambling king is always so fast and efficient, in fact, it was only half a day, she sent all the information of Robert Columbus and Mu Feibai to Jiangbei's mobile phone.
At night, Jiangbei hid in the study for the reason of 'studying' and began to secretly check the materials obtained from the investigation.
The first is director Robert Columbus, this 62-year-old director is a great director with more than 30 years of experience, who has won the Star Award for Best Director twice, and has a very high reputation around the world.
However, the information does not indicate that Robert Columbus has a so-called closed disciple, but because Robert Columbus served as a tutor at a film and television school in the United States, he once led a class of students from the directing department, and Mu Feibai happened to exist in it.
Of course, it is very likely that this kind of thing will not be exposed, so whether Mu Feibai is a close disciple of Robert Columbus still needs to be investigated.
The rest is this Chinese Mu Feibai.
Mu Feibai, who is Chinese New Year's Eve five years old today, is a graduate of the directing department of the United States Angli Film and Television Academy, Chinese-American, and unmarried. After graduation, he worked behind the scenes in Robert Columbus's film and television company, and participated in two film shooting projects of Robert Columbus himself.
At the age of 30, he directed his first animated film "Aladdin", with a total investment of 20 million US dollars and a global box office of 76 million US dollars.
At the age of thirty-two, he directed his second literary film "Smile on Campus", with a total investment of 18 million US dollars and a global box office of 14 million, which was also Mu Feibai's first film to lose money.
At the age of thirty-three, he was unwilling to fail and made a comeback, filming his third literary film "The Vanishing Starry Sky", with a total investment of 12 million US dollars and a global box office of 6 million US dollars.
Mu Feibai, who hit the street for two movies in a row, lost the favor of the capitalists after this, and had to go behind the scenes to learn behind Robert Columbus again.
Last year, Robert Columbus's film and television company, Columbus (Global) Film and Television Company, was trying to open up the Chinese market, and founded Columbus (Huaguo) Film and Television Company in Hualan City at the beginning of this year.
After Mu Feibai returned to China, he continued to make friends with major forces in the domestic entertainment industry while expanding his film and television company, and laid out new film and television plans, preparing to re-emerge in China, and use this springboard to return to Millywood again.
The reason why Li Youqing was signed was that Mu Feibai's Columbus Film and Television Company wanted to use her fame to open up the domestic market.
"Brother, how is it? Are there any doubts?" Liang Liang couldn't help but ask when he saw him put down his phone and rub his eyes.
"The information is very detailed, but this Mu Feibai surprised me a little, I didn't expect to direct several movies at a young age. Jiang Bei rubbed his eyes and said.
There is no sarcasm in this sentence, and regardless of whether Mu Feibai's movies are lost or earned, it is really remarkable that people can direct three movies of more than 10 million dollars at this age, at least it proves that their background is strong enough.
Behind the Columbus (Global) Film and Television Company, it does have this capital to compete with Erjing Film and Television.
"This has nothing to do with himself, I heard from a friend that this Mu Feibai seems to be the illegitimate son of Robert Columbus, so he will get so many resources to help him on the road to growth. But even if Robert Columbus poured all his resources into helping him, most of his films were loss-making, and I thought that changing a pig couldn't be worse than what he did. Liang Liang spread his hands and said with a helpless expression.
"Mu Feibai is Robert Columbus's illegitimate son?" Jiang Bei looked surprised.
Liang Liang explained: "This news is gossip, and the facts are uncertain at the moment, so I didn't write it into this information. ”
There is no ground, and the gossip is true.
But these have nothing to do with him, looking at the screen of the phone blackened, Jiang Bei instructed: "No matter what, if Columbus Film and Television Company comes to talk about your sister-in-law's contract, it will refuse it directly, and will not accept any conditions." ”
Person.
It definitely can't be given.
There is no reason whatsoever.
