Chapter 625: To Each His Own Needs
Two hours later, at the door of the teahouse, Li Mo and the others sent Zheng Dongtian and Wang Guolin to the door with smiles.
After all, these two old gentlemen are more than 100 years old, and their energy is definitely beyond the comparison of Li Mo and others, plus they were called propaganda and explanation by Li Mohao, which is really a toss of flickering calculations, and I still haven't figured out why filming a costume movie like "Book of Swords and Enmity" can help Xijiang develop its economy and enhance the pride of the people of Xijiang.
But......
Whatever.
Anyway, even these two old-timers can agree with Li Mo's remarks, so what else can't be done?
Endorsed by Tianying Studio, led by the Propaganda Department of the Xijiang Provincial Party Committee, coupled with the manpower and material support of the local government agencies, Li Mo, who never misses a beat, personally serves as the director, and the main characters also have a background in Western Xinjiang.
After seeing off the two old-timers, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly relaxed a lot.
Before Li Mo could speak, Ning Hao opened the conversation box first.
"Mr. Li, you are really amazing," Ning Hao gave a thumbs up with a sincere face, "It's obviously just a commercial operation project of our company, and you can actually force it to develop Western Xinjiang and improve the living standards of the local people, I really can't accept it." ”
Not only Ning Hao, although Xue Xiaolu, who was sitting on the side, did not speak, but looking at her meaning, it is estimated that she also admires Li Mo's eloquence.
It's normal for these two to have this reaction.
The two of them are not as proud as Li Mo.
As the master who has suffered losses and suffered, both of them have had projects and scripts more than once, but they can't find investment even if they are killed.
It is estimated that at this moment, both of them are thinking about one thing.
I knew that I would have exercised my eloquence in the first place.
If you have Li Mo's kind of lip service, why worry about not succeeding in big things, why worry about not being able to attract investment?
"Alas, you two are typical of standing and talking without backache," Without the pressure of the two old-timers, the only two listeners around him are also colleagues who know the roots of their own company, Li Mo can naturally let go of his burden, he pouted without caring about the image, "If you knew how long it took me to prepare for the things just now, I'm afraid you wouldn't say that." ”
"Did it take a long time?" it was Xue Xiaolu who spoke this time.
As a female director who is over forty years old, Xue Xiaolu usually feels warm and delicate, but at this time, she is as curious as a child in front of Li Mo.
A forty-year-old child.
Damn, the only thing Li Mo wants to do at this time is just rubbing his eyes to make sure he is not dazzled.
"Isn't it weird?" Xue Xiaolu seemed to feel the surprised gazes of the two men next to her, one big and one small, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Don't be so surprised, okay? I'm also a director." ”
"Although I have now found a good company, so I don't have to bother with raising funds for the film schedule, but as a director's housekeeping skills, I think it is still necessary for me to guide us on how long we have been preparing for today's meeting...... And, what the hell did we do?"
"That's right," Li Mo nodded, "It's going to take a few months...... I think it was about half a year ago. ”
In this way, Li Mo didn't know what kind of mentality he was holding, he actually honestly explained that he accidentally rescued Jin Yong's second son in the Kingdom of Siam, and then the last time he went to Xiangjiang, he got the adaptation copyright of the work, and finally had a whim, hoping to create a complete series of movies for the company, so that the company has one more revenue route......
Of course, he changed his original intention of choosing "Book of Swords and Enmity" from wanting to make his pillow person popular to hoping to get less popular and start practicing with less shooting in his predecessors.
This reason has also been recognized by Ning Hao and others.
As directors, they actually know very well that although the popularity and acceptance of works such as "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and "The Condor Heroes" are indeed much higher than "Book Sword", but Lin Sect Master Zhuyu is in front, Li Ruotong, and Liu Yifei's interpretation is still vivid.
If you play big and the first shot is planted, then it's really fun.
Rather than being criticized, it is better to try a work that impresses everyone a little, but is not too impressive.
After learning about Li Mo's whole idea for the "Book Sword" series, although Ning Hao and Xue Xiaolu were willing to help, they also knew that this kind of costume action theme required stronger professionalism than other types of movies, so they didn't rashly propose to do it themselves, but just told Li Mo that if necessary, they could study it with them at any time.
…… After all, although Ning Hao and Xue Xiaolu may not be able to play with the action theme, at least they still have their own uniqueness in the field they are good at.
For this kind of labor sent to the door for free, Li Mo naturally has no psychological pressure to use it.
Come on, these two are now hanging the director's studio under Molong Media.
The two of you eat the company's food and occupy the company's place, shouldn't you deserve to do something for me?
…………
Facts have proved that in the land of the Celestial Empire, many times, whether a thing can be done or not, a lot of effort is actually spent before deciding fate.
is like the series "Book of Swords and Enmity", if it is just counted from the submission of the script to the final confirmation, it will take less than a week at most.
But if Li Mo promoted the discussion of senior executives within the company, got through the relationship with the help of Di's father, and then went to Xijiang to lobby the Propaganda Department of the Xijiang Provincial Party Committee and Tianying Studio to take the lead, plus persuaded Zheng Dongtian and Wang Guolin, it took Li Mo half a year before and after......
There is no way, if you want to release a movie in the Celestial Empire, you naturally need to deal with it in accordance with the unique system and mode of doing things in the Celestial Empire.
The kind of second goods who yelled 'my life is up to me', the best result is to be slapped to death on the south wall by the cold reality......
Although Tianying Studio and the Propaganda Department of the Xijiang Provincial Party Committee have already boarded Molong's ship in principle and in fact, the calculation of the specific scenery and shooting cycle, and the coordination and planning of these things can only be done by Li Mo himself.
So, not long after the project was reviewed, Li Mo prepared to go to Western Xinjiang again.
As soon as he arrived at the airport, Li Mo found something different from before.
Although celebrities often come and go at the airport in the imperial capital, and many fans who pick up the airport and reporters who interview them choose to squat here, but the behavior of these people seems to be too sneaky.
And the most important thing is that Li Mo also saw a familiar figure here.
