Chapter 418: Not many options

When the bigwigs in the imperial capital circle were still waiting for Molong Media to bow their heads, a news quietly spread in the imperial capital circle.

Molong Media, Wang's Group, and several heads of Xingbaoyuan and Haiyu Pictures directly made an appointment to meet.

Although the content of the meeting was not disclosed, the meeting showed at least one thing: Mo Long made concessions on some fronts.

For those who did not attend the meeting, it may be taken as a sign that Mo Long bowed his head and confessed, but only the real participants knew what Li Mo had thrown out.

There is no guarantee of project returns under any circumstances;

The only power of other investors in the crew is financial supervision and the recommendation of actors;

Even the director, who can be regarded as the second largest part of the crew to the producer, must shoot according to the storyboard script given by Li Mo in actual work, and the real power in his hands is the design and production of the crew's costumes and the adjustment of the artistic direction such as lighting and scenery......

In this way, Lu Haojiji is not so much a director as an artist.

Belch...... Having said that, it seems that in the plan taken out by Molong Media, there is indeed no such position as an artist......

Over time, more details of the meeting became known.

It turns out that the content of the cooperation between the parties is not a movie or a variety show as most people thought at the beginning, but a TV series.

For the entry point of TV dramas, most people think they can still agree.

After all, whether it is Xingbaoyuan or Haiyu Film and Television, the first place to start is in TV dramas.

Although Zhao Baogang can only be regarded as an unknown person in the film industry, he is still quite capable when it comes to his influence and past achievements in the TV industry......

It's just that with the increase of age, Zhao Baogang's work level is indeed out of a state of ups and downs, although the performance of the TV series "Beijing Youth" directed last year is acceptable, but compared with the first two "Struggle" and "Who Calls the Shots of My Youth" in the "Youth Trilogy", whether it is audience reputation or ratings data, they are showing a significant downward trend.

In fact, in Li Mo's original time and space, after Zhao Baogang completed the two TV series "Beijing Youth" and "Old Man Dependent", he took the initiative to seek change, with Sun Honglei and Gui Lunmei as the male and female protagonists, and invested 80 million yuan to shoot the movie "Untouchable".

I have to say that from "The Story of the Editorial Department" to "Addictive", from "Never Look Away" to "Struggle", and then to "Beijing Youth", Zhao Baogang's previous resume is indeed gorgeous.

If Guo Xiaosi, Han Han and others crossed from code writing to film shooting, and the steps were a little big, so they would be more nonsense, it stands to reason that Zhao Baogang stepped from the small screen to the big screen, and the distance was much smaller than Guo Xiaosi and others, and the difficulty coefficient should not be so high......

Unfortunately, many things are not as good as they seem, but they are.

It seems like a step away, but when it comes to the road, you may be stepping on a world of difference.

"Untouchable" finally reported 76.81 million at the box office in the original time and space, even if the film share is not calculated, it did not exceed the cost line.

For such a movie, even the most friendly evaluation is just the word 'mediocre'......

Anyway, as of before Li Mo crossed, Zhao Baogang's latest work "Youth Fight" has not yet landed on various David TVs, and I don't know if this famous figure in the TV circle can still rise......

…………

After being counted by Li Moming's gun, in fact, when he left the hotel and sat in the car, Zhao Baogang was not so angry.

This was not because he figured it out, but was simply frightened by the eager aura on Li Mo's body.

That kind of breath Zhao Baogang also saw N years ago, and there is a special word in the imperial capital dialect to describe it - mixed and stingy.

No matter what kind of person he is, if he reaches the point of being stingy, it basically means that his bottom line has arrived.

If you continue to force it, I'm afraid there will only be one situation left to flip the table.

Although at this time, Zhao Baogang has not yet figured out the extent of the strength and connections under the surface of Molong Media, but from the appearance of the Wang brothers today+, he saw a situation that the bigwigs in the imperial capital circle tried to avoid before.

In the face of suppression, the Wang brothers chose to join forces with Molong, who was also in a state of suppression.

Regardless of whether the Wang brothers really plan to tear their faces with the Imperial Capital Circle, everyone has to admit that if the Wang Group and Molong join forces, there are really not many ways to suppress them.

Perhaps directors and actors who are close to the imperial capital circle can choose not to cooperate with these two companies, but don't forget that Molong and Wang's Group, one is the emerging force with the most obvious upward momentum recently, and the other is currently the leading domestic private film and television media company......

Your Imperial Capital Circle is unwilling to cooperate with them? It just so happens that you give up your position, so many people want to cooperate with them.

The so-called call in the imperial capital circle, in the face of the triple temptation of fame, fortune and power, is nothing at all.

However, now Zhao Baogang and Haiyan have no time to think about what kind of changes will occur in the entire film and television media industry in the future when everyone sees the lust of the imperial capital circle, and their primary question now is: whether to take the boat of "The Promotion of the Crown Princess" as Li Mo said.

In a residential area in the imperial capital, while their son Lu Haojiji was going out, Zhao Baogang and Haiyan began to study how to deal with the plan proposed by Molong Media next.

Not long after entering the house, Zhao Baogang took the lead in speaking: "I don't think that kid Li Mo will be so honest, he will definitely play some tricks during the project." ”

"But the problem now is that the initiative is not in our hands at all. Haiyan took off his glasses, rubbed his swollen eyes, and looked helpless, "You also saw the situation that day, Li Mo's patience has indeed been almost exhausted, if we hesitate any longer, I dare to guarantee that the kid will definitely get rid of us and cooperate with the Wang brothers......"

"Then let's suppress him again," Zhao Baogang's face was solemn, and he said fiercely: "If we do it for the first time, we will naturally be able to do it for the second time, anyway, we will lose face, as long as we can force Li Mo to give in, I don't care about the rest......"

"You don't care if it's your business, I still have to be face-......"

After complaining speechlessly in his heart, Haiyan helplessly persuaded: "But the problem now is that Wang Zhongjun and his two brothers are very likely to accept Molong Media's conditions, and when the time comes, we will be isolated." ”

"Those two bastards," Zhao Baogang was even more angry when he heard Wang Zhongjun's name, "If it weren't for the fact that they weren't big or small, how could they let Li Mo's kid be so unscrupulous." ”

"Hehe, if it weren't for the fact that you were a popular person and developed better than you, how could you make it difficult to ride a tiger now......"

After complaining in his heart again, Haiyan finally couldn't help but persuade him: "Lao Zhao, it's useless to say that now, I've heard people say it these days, Li Mo doesn't look at his age, the dean of the Demon Capital Drama Academy, the head of the acting department and the like are very important to him, even if we want to put some pressure on him or something, it probably won't work......"

After a slight pause, Haiyan finally held back his complaint.

Although the leader is Zhao Baogang, since his son Lu Haojiji has experienced a series of things like sunburn, disfigurement, and plastic surgery, Haiyan has been thinking about how to pave the way for his son's future in recent years.

After Haiyan decided to respond to Zhao Baogang's invitation to come forward, he had also heard about Molong Media from some other channels, so he actually didn't agree with this kind of extreme pressure plan similar to 'falconry and dog training' at first.

Because everyone came from a young age, what kind of arrogance people who became famous at a young age will have, Haiyan is relatively clear.

As a producer, writer and company CEO, and a writer with many successful adaptations in hand, Haiyan has enough professional judgment on the script and the project, although it is inconvenient to take the initiative to say it out of the relationship with Zhao Baogang, so as not to involve Zhao Baogang's sore feet, but Haiyan has a clear judgment on the script of "The Promotion of the Crown Princess" in his heart.

The director position with a complete storyboard script planned by Li Mo can not only perfectly avoid the shortcomings of not having enough director experience, but also give full play to Lu Haojiji's advantages in color and lens composition, which is simply a position tailored for Lu Haojiji.

With Lu Haojiji's situation, he will definitely not be able to withstand any failure at this stage.

No one understands his son's mind better than his father: Lu Haojiji is not willing to let his acting career be cut off, whether it is playing photography or being a stage artist, in the final analysis, he still wants to return to the public eye in a way that saves the country with curves.

Judging from the plan that Mo Long took out when they met last time, as well as the follow-up understanding through some other channels, Haiyan is very sure that Li Mo and his son have really never met before.

Maybe as he said, he saw his son's photography somewhere, and then he kept it in his heart, and "The Promotion of the Crown Princess" wants to stand out in the time travel theme that has been done badly, and wants to start the first shot to enter the online drama market, so it naturally needs something different from the products of other companies......

From this point of view, the position of the director of "The Promotion of the Crown Princess" is just like the eight words that Li Mo said when he was leaving: Don't miss the opportunity and never come again.

Thinking of this, Haiyan could only say sorry to Zhao Baogang in his heart first, and then began to think about how to make Zhao Baogang give up the messy 'fan' in his heart and accept Li Mo's plan instead.

…… The reason why Zhao Baogang was able to mobilize such a large amount of energy this time was, firstly, to use the vigilance and vigilance of the Wang brothers in the imperial capital circle for not abiding by the 'rules', and secondly, in terms of economic interests, he successfully mobilized everyone's pursuit of interests and pink eye.

However, after the last meeting with Li Mo, Haiyan didn't know if Zhao Baogang had found out, at least in Li Mo's body, in addition to the arrogance unique to young people, he also had the kind of ruthlessness that would rather be broken than broken.

If he had known that Li Mo was this kind of temperament that eats soft rather than hard, Haiyan would never have agreed to Zhao Baogang's request.

Before Haiyan could think of a way, Zhao Baogang spoke again, "The two brothers Wang Zhongjun have always been at odds with Li Mo before, if we go to find them to come forward together......"

"Lao Zhao, have you ever considered a question?" Haiyan, who hadn't figured out how to speak, suddenly heard Wang Zhongjun's name, and an idea suddenly popped up in his mind, so a rare opening interrupted Zhao Baogang's words, "Lao Zhao, have you ever considered a question, why did Wang Zhongjun and his two brothers appear there?"

"Wang Zhongjun's two brothers...... Why is it happening?"

Zhao Baogang muttered and repeated Haiyan's words, a little unsure of how to answer.

How else can this question be answered?

Since they have been invited to become investors, if they don't appear there, can they still appear there?

Belch...... Wrong!

Zhao Baogang knew very well that the most fundamental reason why he was able to stir up such a big movement was that he had identified one thing: the Wang brothers would not break with the imperial capital circle at present.

But if that dependence is gone......

Or maybe the Wang brothers chose to get closer to Molong Media in the face of pressure......

Then when the time comes, the 'crime' of 'forcing the Wang brothers' and making the imperial capital circle lose an important node in the film industry will inevitably be borne by him alone.

If that situation really happens, Zhao Baogang knows very well that what he has lost is not a little benefit.

The most important thing is that, judging from the last meeting, the Wang brothers are obviously closer to Molong Media......

Thinking of this, Zhao Baogang directly threw the idea of continuing to exert pressure on the Demon Dragon Limit just now, and asked: "Lao Lu (Haiyan's original name is Lu Haiyan, and the word Lu is avoided in the text), if you have any suggestions, you might as well say it directly." ”

"Lao Zhao, in fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand," Haiyan sat on the sofa and said calmly, "We don't have many choices in this matter. ”

"Either accept Mo Long's plan and get the opportunity to participate in the crew, take this opportunity to understand the difference between online dramas and ordinary TV dramas, accumulate experience, and lay the foundation for our own production in the future, or give up this opportunity for the sake of the so-called face, and ...... empty-handed"

Speaking of this, Haiyan spread his hands, "I don't think it's difficult to make a decision in this situation, right?"

"But, Lao Lu, do you really think that Li Mo will not engage in any tricks in the actual operation of the crew?"

In the final analysis, Zhao Baogang is still a little reassured.

"Lao Zhao, we don't dare to say anything else, but when it comes to TV drama production, we have been in the industry longer than Li Mo......'s age, right?

"This, that's natural......" Speaking of the field he has played for half his life, Zhao Baogang finally has a little confidence.

"Isn't that enough? What's more, Ji Ji is still working as a director in the crew, and he still has the storyboard script provided by Li Mo in his hand, even if Mo Long wants to do any tricks, it is impossible to even have a complete script in the director's hand, right?"

“…………”

A few days later, when Zhao Baogang and Haiyan and his entourage came to Molong Media with Lu Haojiji to sign a contract, they did not see Li Mo.

When they asked Li Mo where he went, Zong Shuai smiled mysteriously.

"Xiaomo has some urgent things to deal with, he has to leave for a while, about the signing of the contract, he has already prepared a plan, a few people just need to sign here......"
