Chapter 508: Strange Encounters
Many people say that big cities like Yangcheng and Modu can only be regarded as the epitome of the Celestial Empire, and small county towns are the truth of the Celestial Empire.
The reason is actually quite simple.
Regardless of whether the Celestial Empire still has 900 million people in the countryside, and whether the majority of the population is peasants or not, at least the vast majority of movie theaters are located in large and small cities.
Because of this, the vast majority of people who can go to the cinema to watch movies are people who live in the city and have been influenced by the urban lifestyle.
On the other hand, if the movie shows the dark side of other countries, or the kind of content that can resonate with other countries, and watch the jokes of other countries, then you can basically get the audience's liking.
The jokes in "Detective Chinatown" are, in a sense, exactly this way.
I have to say that the casting in the original movie is really suitable.
Liu Haoran is not only young, but also handsome enough, coupled with the lines that stutter when he is nervous, people feel that he is the kind of cute little Zhengtai at first glance;
And Wang Baoqiang, after so many years of accumulation, played a role like Tang Ren, whose IQ was not online throughout the whole process, and he relied on playing treasure and selling miserably and shamelessly to brush his existence, it was simply easy to catch;
These two are a handsome and ugly, a good and a stupid combination, even if they just stand there, they don't need to say their lines, and the comedy effect can't be covered and bubbles out......
Coupled with Tong Liya, who is in charge of Meimeida, a basic character structure is already there.
While the others were still arriving in phases later, Li Mo decided to find these people to find out the bottom first.
Li Mo took Feng Wen to meet Wang Baoqiang;
Li Mo's face was a little solemn, as if he had encountered some difficulty;
Li Mo and Wang Baoqiang's agent seem to have had some kind of dispute;
Li Mo was accumulating anger and preparing to launch his skills;
Li Mo made a move......
To be honest, when Li Mo was looking for Wang Baoqiang to meet, he really didn't expect that the person who followed him to Bangkok would be the legendary Song Zhe.
Even if this guy's glorious deeds are not deliberately publicized, it is estimated that few people in the Celestial Empire do not know about it, so I will not continue to talk nonsense about him here.
The key is that this old man doesn't know if he has any support from Ma Rong, even when he is talking to Li Mo, he looks like he is holding chicken feathers as an arrow to Wang Baoqiang.
The problem is, it's just that you can use chicken feathers as an arrow, that thing can be a little left and right in addition to playing in front of Wang Baoqiang, and waving it in front of me is a hammer!
It is estimated that Wang Baoqiang also feels that he looks average, and being able to marry such a beautiful wife as Ma Rong is considered to be a high incense, so he is probably not a very hard-talking existence at home, and Song Zhe usually estimates that he and Ma Rong can be regarded as 'intersecting', so even if Wang Baoqiang is outside, many times he just wears an apologetic smile, and then looks at Song Zhe making a lot of nonsense.
With Ma Rong's advice, coupled with Wang Baoqiang's inaction, Song Zhe is comparable to Boss Cao who 'coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes', even in the face of Li Mo, all kinds of messy demands are emerging in endlessly......
One will say that you want to rest in the RV, and the other will say that the hotel you stay in must be a five-star ......
You Tamar don't want to think about it, this will be the end of April in Bangkok time, what can you do with an RV?
Also a five-star hotel?
Don't you want to think about how many five-star hotels there are in the whole of Bangkok?
How far are those hotels from the set?
Li Mo had already thought about it, anyway, the cost of human resources in the Kingdom of Thailand was very low, and he would definitely work overtime when he could work overtime......
To put it mildly, even if Li Mo agreed to Song Zhe's request and really ordered Wang Baoqiang a five-star hotel, do you think Li Mo would go according to the original shooting plan step by step?
At that time, you can save money for a day of hotel stay, which is a real profit......
Finally waited for Song Zhe to finish his request, Li Mo put on a straight face, looked at Song Zhe coldly for almost half a minute, and finally when Song Zhe was about to be about to go crazy, he replied in a cold tone: " Mr. Song, if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Wang Baoqiang has a contract with our Molong Media, and the content you just mentioned, as far as I know, is all outside the contract, if Mr. Wang is not satisfied with the treatment or accommodation conditions of our crew, you can pay for it at your own expense, as long as it does not delay the filming progress of the crew, I will not ask!"
Taking advantage of the gap before Song Zhe opened his mouth to speak, Li Mo continued: "Of course, if Mr. Song insists that the crew must meet these additional conditions for you, or intends to threaten to quit the crew or boycott the show, although the scale of our Molong Media company is not large, there should be no problem in handling this kind of thing." ”
Just as Song Zhe was about to stand up and show his attitude, Li Mo turned back and reminded with a smile: "If Mr. Song plans to go back and look at the amount of breach of contract in the contract, I can tell you now." ”
"According to the contract, if Mr. Wang Baoqiang is unable to complete the filming on time due to personal reasons other than force majeure, then he will compensate us for a total of 60 million yuan in liquidated damages in addition to refunding the remuneration received, if you really feel that you can't continue to cooperate, please prepare this money ......"
After saying this, Li Mo took Feng Wen and turned straight away, leaving Song Zhe, who was holding his breath and his face flushed, behind him......
……
"Brother Mo, your words just now are really relieving. ”
Not to mention, Li Mo's last few words were quite a bit confusing and temperamental, but they made Feng Wen feel a little bit of an appetite.
After thinking about it for a while, Li Mo probably understood why Feng Wen was in such a mood.
Except for Li Mo and Zong Shuai, the rest of the crew basically came early, as Li Mo's assistant, Feng Wen usually had a lot of contact with Wang Baoqiang and Song Zhe.
…… In the process of these 'contacts', Feng Wentong's impression of Song Zhe is estimated to be no better.
THIS KIND OF TRIVIAL MATTER, LI MO NATURALLY COULDN'T GO TO SCOLD SONG ZHE JUST TO STAND UP FOR FENG WEN, NOT BECAUSE HE CARED ABOUT ANYONE'S FACE, IT WAS PURELY BECAUSE IT WAS TOO LOW.
Li Mo is also a leader in the ranks of cutting-edge directors in China, and he is the boss of Molong Media, so he put down his body and ran to compete with an actor's agent?
He can't afford to lose that man!
After ending the meeting with Wang Baoqiang, Li Mo still insisted on continuing to talk to Liu Haoran, and this meeting was quite smooth.
Although Liu Haoran is not very old, he is indeed quite spiritual.
It wasn't a long time to get the script as soon as possible, but he had already done a lot of preparation.
…… Even when Li Mo and Feng Wen asked him out to meet, he still brought a book with him......
For such actors, in addition to encouraging and approving, Li Mo also instructed Feng Wen to send a message to China to find out about it, and see if it is possible to pull Liu Haoran into the ranks of actors in Molong Media......
