Chapter 230: Plan Ahead
Although Molong Media's current plan only has a movie "Get Out, Tumor" in the state of approval, Li Mo's vision has already been put into the farther future.
In Li Mo's future plan, Molong Media will follow Hollywood's CAA and establish a set of agent system that is in line with the unique situation of the Celestial Empire's entertainment industry. The core of this is no longer that one agent is responsible for all the work of an actor, but a professional and comprehensive agency team to take care of all aspects of the artists.
The purpose of establishing this system is to minimize the depth of the relationship between agents and artists, and to avoid a situation similar to when Wang Jinghua left HY, and a bunch of celebrities followed her to change jobs.
According to the current situation, as long as "Tumor" can be successful, Liu Yifei is bound to be able to sweep away the decline of four years of silence, but in this case, the status of Fat Di and Gu Limena is a little embarrassing.
So Li Mo has been thinking about how to increase exposure and fame for the two of them.
Until...... Seeing Zhang Tianai before entering the screening hall just now, Li Mo finally had a preliminary idea.
In the field of film in the Celestial Empire, low-budget comedies, romance movies and action movies are relatively popular themes with audiences.
Action movies were abandoned by Li Mo from the beginning.
Even if "Wolf Warrior 2" in the previous life became the box office champion of Chinese films, and "Operation Red Sea" and "Operation Mekong" both received a bumper harvest at the word-of-mouth box office, it still can't change the overall decline of action movies.
Moreover, in terms of Molong Media's current capital flow, the cycle of shooting an action movie is too long, and the cost is too huge.
Of course, the most critical problem is: in terms of Molong's current artists, it doesn't look like an action movie that can be played......
Do you want to contact Wu Jing now?
Are you kidding?
In his previous life, he later became the first person in the field of Chinese-language film action movies......
In case Wu Jing and Mo Long parted ways in the future due to differences in long-term cooperation, at least for a short time, Li Mo could not think of anyone who could replace Wu Jing.
Don't look at Liu Yifei's highest status in the ranks of Molong's actresses, but even if she parted ways with Molong in the future, although it has an impact on the company, it will definitely not be too big.
Because compared to male actors, the peak period of female actors themselves is relatively short.
Unless it is mixed with the level of Gonghuang Manshen......
And even if Liu Yifei runs away, Li Mo is confident that he will help Fat Di and Gu Limena to the top of the company......
If action movies can't work, then you can only consider comedy and romance movies.
However, the upcoming "Thai Embarrassment" has eliminated the comedy from Li Mo's plan.
After traveling to this time and space for more than a year, Li Mo found that except for the things that changed because of his own intervention, other things were still developing according to the original trajectory.
Now that "1942" is about to be launched, Fiber Optic Media will definitely not watch HY be unlucky and not step on it, so the next "Thai Embarrassment" will most likely repeat the trajectory of the previous life, win the box office championship of China Entertainment Films, and become the first domestic film to break one billion.
In the next few years, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, and Wang Baoqiang will also become synonymous with comedy movies......
…… Until the movie of Happy Twist came out......
Although the comedy genre of Molong Media has the "Love Apartment" series, in the final analysis, the target group of "Love Apartment" is still young people, and it can't have as wide an audience as Xu Zheng, Happy Twist and others.
Therefore, in the next few years, Molong Media may be able to cooperate with these people, and even consider taking some of their shares before Happy Twist has set foot in the film industry......
But at least for now, it's certainly not going to be counted on.
In fact, in terms of the special environment of the Celestial Empire, the influence that a successful hit TV series can create is not necessarily inferior to that of a movie.
Yang Mi in the previous life is one of the representatives.
Her film transcript is lackluster, but the TV series does have a lot of masterpieces.
If it weren't for Li Mo's inability to take care of both movies and TV series, maybe he would be ready to start preparing for the filming of "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms......
…………
After thinking about it, Li Mo found that it seemed that he could only choose a love movie.
It just so happened that Li Mo watched a very interesting romantic comedy movie before crossing over.
"Happy Death Day"!
It was a chick movie wrapped under the skin of a horror movie.
The heroine of this story, who was tragically killed on her birthday night, wakes up and is still alive. However, since then, she has been trapped in this infinite cycle of waking up and dying, dying and waking up. To escape this fate, the heroine must find out the mysterious murderer who killed her before she becomes weak.
Although the plot of the movie seems absurd, the core values are very normal.
It does not praise the heroine's previous series of bad behaviors, but believes that these invisible "evil" factors are destined to bring "evil" results. Only those who truly want to change from their hearts, "good" can break through the puzzle and obtain the qualification to tomorrow.
This is probably the alternative 'good is rewarded, evil is rewarded'.
The most important thing is that Fat Di and Gu Limena are quite suitable for the heroine of this movie, but again, they are not suitable for the villain role of this movie.
Therefore, Li Mo not only needs to choose a heroine among Fat Di and Gu Limena, but also needs a female number two who is a little beautiful, but not as dazzling as the heroine......
It wasn't until Zhang Tianai invited the two to lunch just now that Li Mo suddenly thought that Zhang Tianai might be a suitable candidate......
Now that the invitation has been issued, it depends on how Zhang Tianai chooses.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Mo felt that he needed to introduce the situation of the project again.
After all, other people's parents are here, so it's better to make it clearer.
"Tian Ai, the investment in the movie I just mentioned will not be too high, about 30 to 40 million, and the script has not yet been completed," after a slight pause, Li Mo estimated the filming and release cycle of "Tumor Jun" in his mind, and continued to explain, "It will be at least half a year before the official start of filming, and because you are making a movie for the first time, the salary will not be too high......
Li ...... Director Li, no problem, I'm ...... I signed. ”
Before Li Mo finished speaking, Zhang Tianai couldn't wait to speak.
"That...... Tian Ai, in fact, I'm really not in a hurry to want you to make a decision now," laughed dryly, Li Mo continued to persuade, "The movie I said is not enough money, the actors have not been decided, and the script has no ...... for the time being."
"So, my God, you can really think about it again, don't rush to reply. ”
"No need, Director Li, I can really do it. ”
"That...... Otherwise, if you think about it again, I'm really not in a hurry. ”
"No need ......"
……
Unconsciously, the parents of the Zhang family and Gu Limena, who were sitting on the side, had already seen it.
The three of them have lived together for more than a hundred years, and they have never heard of such an operation: the person who sent the invitation did everything possible to hope that the other party would consider it carefully, and the person who received the invitation couldn't wait to knock the matter around the corner immediately.
Are you two talking about cross talk?
A few minutes later, Zhang's father, who couldn't stand it, opened his mouth and made a final decision: "Although Xiao Li is not very old, from what you say and do, you can see at a glance that you are a sincere person." Since our Xiao Ai likes to eat this bowl of rice, she will ask for acting in the future. ”
"Xiao Ai has something wrong and bad, Xiao Li, you should discipline her, if this girl doesn't obey, you can call me and see how I clean her up." ”
The father of the family opened his mouth, and Li Mo really needed to expand the company's artist team, so Li Mo naturally left Zong Shuai's phone number to Zhang Tianai, and asked her to go to the company with her personal information to sign the brokerage contract another day.
It wasn't until he gave the contact information that Li Mo figured out what was wrong with Zhang's father's words just now.
Isn't that what parents say to teachers when sending their children to school......
