Chapter 101: Personal Ambition
After Fiber Media and China Film Group respectively reported that they were ready to participate in the investment of "Chinese Partner", HY Company was slow to follow.
In business negotiations, the most taboo thing is to take the initiative to urge the other party to make a decision.
So even though he was a little confused about HY's behavior, Li Mo still waited patiently for HY for a few days.
However, these days have not been completely without good news.
First of all, although Fiber Optic Media knew where Wang Kai went after terminating the contract with the company, it still did not charge any liquidated damages to a large extent.
On the one hand, this is due to the fact that Optical Fiber Media does not have a systematic and strong artist brokerage strength, and most of the time the contracted artists also obtain resources from their respective channels, and there is not much difference in essence between whether they can terminate the contract or not.
On the other hand, it is because of the relationship with Li Mo.
At Li Mo's age, if "Chinese Partner" can still succeed this time, then he will be one of the few young directors who has been recognized before the age of twenty-five.
With Li Mo's age, as long as there are no accidents, he can be active in the film and television industry for at least 20 years.
This is definitely a super potential stock.
Instead of icing on the cake, it is better to send charcoal in the snow, Wang Changtian naturally understands.
What's more, Wang Kai only has one character who has received praise at this time, and he is not distressed when he is sent out......
The second piece of good news came from Deng Chao.
With some friendship with Deng Chao before, Zong Shuai successfully sent the script of "Chinese Partner" to Deng Chao.
If he could still use accompanying his wife as a reason when "Hypnosis Master" invited Deng Chao, when the box office of "Hypnotic Master" directed by Li Mo successfully exceeded 400 million, Deng Chao had already decided to take a good look at the script of "Chinese Partner".
After reading the script, although the role of Meng Xiaojun is not as brilliant as Cheng Dongqing and Wang Yang, for Deng Chao, who has been temporarily out of film for a year, "Chinese Partner" is enough to become his return work.
Soon, news came from Deng Chao that he also became the first of the three protagonists to sign an actor contract with the crew.
After signing the contract with Deng Chao, Li Mo immediately asked him: he must be able to speak fluent English within three months or less.
Even if you can't do it, at least the lines in the script must be able to be interpreted in any way in Chinese and English.
Looking at Deng Chao with a wry smile on his face, Li Mo was looking forward to it, under his high standards and strict requirements, Deng Chao would have the stalk of 'logging tiredness' in the future.
A week later, two pieces of news came from HY.
HY does not participate in the investment of China Partners.
Wang Xiaoming agreed to play the role of Cheng Dongqing and participated in the investment in the name of his personal studio.
What the hell is going on......
Li Mo was puzzled.
…… It all started a few days ago.
Although the Wang brothers' move to win over Li Mo was unsuccessful, the box office of "Hypnosis Master" continued to climb, and the Wang brothers began to read the script in the chairman's office of HY as soon as they received the project proposal for "Chinese Partner".
"Zhong Lei, the script and plan are almost read, what do you think of this movie?" Wang Zhongjun took a puff of his cigarette and asked.
"Brother, I think that kid is perfunctory to us. Unlike his brother, Wang Zhonglei looked a little indignant.
"Oh, what's the matter? ”
"Li Mo's previous works are sitcoms and thriller and suspense movies. If the scripts he brought were of these two types, we would naturally follow up on the investment, even if it was additional investment, it was not impossible to consider. But look at it, what did he bring? "Chinese Partner", an inspirational, realistic movie. This is an area that he has not touched before. ”
"So you think there's a big chance that this movie will fail? Are there any other reasons?"
"Generally, movies with modern backgrounds can also recover their costs through product placement, but this "Chinese Partner", the event span is as long as 30 years, and the number of ad placements must not be too much. ”
Wang Zhongjun continued to nod, his younger brother was not a complete straw bag.
Feng Gang's "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" series, HY recouped at least half of the investment before the start of filming by selling product placement ads, coupled with excellent box office results, made a lot of money.
Speaking of Feng Gang, a ray of melancholy appeared on Wang Zhongjun's face, and the main project of this year's HY is Feng Gang's "1942".
Even if there are many big-name actors in that movie, Wang Zhongjun really doesn't dare to be optimistic about its box office prospects.
Just like what my brother said just now, a director who rashly enters a field that he has not tried is extremely likely to fail.
This sentence is not only talking about Li Mo, as if it ...... is also talking about Feng Gang.
"So what do you mean?"
"This script is simply perfunctory to us by Li Mo's kid, that is, the actors are a little sincere, but I'm still not optimistic about how much box office it can get. ”
"Okay, that's what I mean. Let's stop investing here. Find someone to send this script and plan to Xiaoming, and tell him by the way that we HY do not plan to participate in the investment of this movie, and it is up to him to decide whether to star in it. ”
…………
In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Xiaoming had already received the relevant materials of "Chinese Partner" sent from HY company.
Although Wang Xiaoming's acting skills have always been criticized as evil and crazy, this does not prevent him from having the ability to distinguish a project.
Not only that, but he is also keenly aware that if he can perform the role of Holly well, the breakthrough in the acting awards he is looking forward to may be just a layer of window paper away from him.
So do you want to take on this role......
I don't know when, a pair of soft little hands put on his shoulders from behind, and gently kneaded his shoulders for him.
can enter and exit Wang Xiaoming's house at will, and behave so closely with him, it is naturally his girlfriend Yang Tianbao.
Since Yang Tianbao met Wang Xiaoming, he has decided to shift his focus from Xiangjiang to the mainland. Today was originally a rest day in the world of the two, but because of a temporary script sent to the working hours, Yang Tianbao naturally had a little complaint.
However, although Yang Tianbao's academic qualifications are not outstanding, his emotional intelligence is still online.
At first glance, his boyfriend is hesitant because of a certain choice, and at this time, he is petty, and the best thing to get is definitely not the warmth of his boyfriend.
But now that Wang Xiaoming didn't take the initiative to speak, it may be that he doesn't want to be involved, and all Yang Tianbao can do is to be gentle and wait for his boyfriend to talk about the problems he encountered.
However, it seems that Wang Xiaoming's choice is indeed very difficult, and after a while, Wang Xiaoming took her hand and said his question, "Tianbao, what do you think of the vision of the two Wang presidents of HY Company?"
