Chapter 694: Contact
Since Li Mo reorganized his studio into Molong Media, if you want to say which of the company's films has the longest preparation and production cycle, it is undoubtedly the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series.
If you count from the time Chen Shu sent the script of "Embroidered Spring Knife" to Li Mo, this series has gone through a series of steps such as Chen Shu's serialization of "Embroidered Spring Knife" on the Internet, Lu Yang began to prepare, shoot, and post-production, and it has been almost two years since then......
If nothing else, the twists and turns of the process alone have almost caught up with their Hollywood counterparts on the other side of the Pacific.
As the head cannon of the "Embroidered Spring Knife" series, Li Mo believed in Lu Yang's ability, in fact, he also had the idea of replacing the director and even taking over the movie himself, but later he watched Lu Yang work hard for the movie and look like he had to bow down to everything, and then Li Mo got the film and television adaptation authorization of Jin Yong's works, and finally tossed on "Book of Swords and Enmity", and finally Li Mo let Lu Yang toss alone.
Now, "Book Sword" has been on for more than a month, and there is finally good news from Lu Yang's side, which also makes Li Mo finally be able to hear a good news after struggling to catch up with the schedule.
Of course, for the current Li Mo, since "Shura Battlefield" has been edited and Zong Shuai came forward to send him a message, it at least shows that the relevant executives in the imperial capital should have seen the finished film edited by Lu Yang and recognized the quality of the film.
Next, just go through the company process step by step and prepare to go live.
But the next morning, along with the news related to "Shura Battlefield", there was another person that Li Mo didn't expect.
"What do you mean?" Looking at the Zong Shuai standing in front of the door, Li Mo was almost stupid, "Didn't the two of us talk on the phone last night, everything was just my illusion?"
If it weren't for Zong Shuai greeting Li Mo with a smile, he would have wondered if he had hallucinated yesterday.
Big brother, let's be reasonable, since you are flying over today, then you gave me a hairy call last night?
Or, since you're calling me, is there anything you can't say on the phone?
We're just an ordinary film and television media company, and there's no such thing as phone tapping, right?
"Xiaomo, the main thing is that movies of the genre of "Shura Battlefield" have not been very prosperous in recent years, although we feel that the completion of this film is very high, but we still feel a little uneasy about the expectations and control of similar film markets, so we discussed it, since you can't leave here in Hengcheng, then I can only come to you with a sample. ”
Hearing Zong Shuai say this, Li Mo was a little relieved.
The genre of action movies has been in decline for a long time, and martial arts action movies are not considered a popular theme in the entire action movie genre......
In the entire senior management team of Molong Media, the only one who has invested in martial arts movies is actually Ye Ning, and even if it is him, the "Legend of the White-Haired Witch: Bright Moon Heaven" that he participated in the investment in Wanda Pictures back then also made him want to be trapped......
Wanda Pictures, which was not harmed, lost its old capital, and this movie also became one of the 'criminal evidence' that he was attacked at the beginning.
In this case, if several executives in the imperial capital were full of self-confidence, Li Mo would feel abnormal.
But before he could completely relax his heart, Zong Shuai's next sentence made his heart rise again.
"In addition, the company has also had a recent matter, and we can't decide, so I can be regarded as a temporary messenger this time......
Sure enough, you can't talk about people during the day, and you can't talk about ghosts at night......
Just now, Li Mo was still worried about whether Zong Shuai ran over this time if it was something else, but it turned out that it was good now, just a little relieved, and Zong Shuai followed up with another wave......
At this time, Li Mo also saw it.
What Li Mo needs to try out the sample film in person, it is basically a disguise.
The thing that really matters is the one behind this.
Although Li Mo also wanted to know what was going on as soon as possible, so that Zong Shuai could fly directly to Hengcheng thousands of miles away, but since the other party was guarding the door early in the morning, and now it seems that he didn't have the intention of opening his mouth, it means that things can't be explained clearly in a few simple words for a while, so Li Mo just nodded, and asked Feng Wen to arrange a room for Zong Shuai to rest in the hotel first, and then go to the set to start normal filming.
After the filming was completed, Li Mo first asked the rest of the crew to go back to the hotel to rest, and he and Zong Shuai came to a rather famous restaurant in Hengcheng.
Of course, no matter how famous it is, it is nothing more than that the dishes taste okay, and the prices are ordinary.
In Hengcheng, there are not too many big-name celebrities who come and go every year, so the waiters and staff of the restaurant are obviously used to having celebrities and big names patronize, so Li Mo and Zong Shuai easily found a small private room, ordered a few dishes, and began to chat while eating.
Things have to start with the upcoming National Day file.
Last year, the Happy Twist team was not satisfied with the influence being limited to the stage of dramas and sketches, and wanted to take a share of the film and television industry, so they established Happy Twist Entertainment Media Co., Ltd., and planned to gradually put the drama IP accumulated over the years on the big screen.
As the company's first gun, they chose the work "Charlotte's Troubles", and pulled in Xinli Media, Penguin Video and Wanda Pictures to invest in filming and production.
As a novice who has just stepped into the film and television production industry, the partner he chooses is actually very reliable.
Xinli Media is a veteran company in the industry with an advantage in connections;
As a new media platform, Penguin Video has advantages in the introduction of traffic users;
Wanda Pictures is the financier, and with production experience, it is also a rare good helper;
According to common sense, in the case of happy twist actors and scripts, with such a lineup, the prospects of the project "Charlotte's Troubles" are still relatively stable.
But I don't know if Happy Twist is too confident in her work, or Wanda Pictures wants more in this cooperation, not long ago, the industry began to quietly spread the news that Happy Twist is trying to introduce another distribution company to cooperate with Wanda's Wuzhou Pictures, and just a few days ago, Molong Media also confirmed that this news is indeed true.
Because, the people of Happy Twist Pictures directly contacted Molong.
The problem is, it's bad rules......
