In a presidential suite in a high-end hotel in the imperial capital, the originally spacious living room was full of ten people.

Although it is not obvious, the people in the living room are clearly divided into three camps.

The Molong Media side, represented by Li Mo and Zong Shuai, has the largest number of people.

In addition to Li Mo and Zong Shuai, there are also two daughters, Gu Limena and Zhang Tianai...... and a man in his thirties with an elegant face.

The Wang brothers were the smallest of all the camps, and they didn't even bring secretaries and assistants, so they swaggered over......

The remaining three people are Zhao Baogang and Lu Haiyan (Haiyan), who are famous in the imperial capital circle.

In the spacious living room, Zhao Baogang, Haiyan father and son, and the Wang brothers each had a copy of the script of "The Promotion of the Crown Princess" in their hands, and everyone was flipping through the things that were sent to them, and there was only the rustle of paper when the paper was turned in the room for a while......

The Wang brothers were not familiar with the script and other things, so the two only understood the general plot of the story, and then at the end of the reading, after finding the planned investment ratio, they put the script aside and began to drink tea......

Judging from the expressions of the two of them, it seems that they are not very optimistic about the prospects of such a script, and the appearance here today is more because of Li Mo's greetings with them before.

Contrary to the disapproval of the Wang brothers, putting aside those messy business scheming and calculations, Zhao Baogang and Haiyan can be regarded as the top ten figures in the field of domestic TV dramas in the field of professional skills.

The style of these two people who read the script is just the opposite of the Wang brothers.

They were slow the first time, and much faster the second.

After glancing at Zong Shuai, Li Mo nodded at him covertly, indicating that this situation is a common problem of most screenwriters or directors, and it does not mean that the other party has any dissatisfaction with this script.

As for Gu Limina and Zhang Tianai, the two of them would look like two qualified female secretaries, sitting on the side in professional clothes, if it weren't for someone who knew their identities, they might think that they were staff members who came to participate in some ceremony.

This is also the result of Li Mo's deliberate request.

Today's meeting, strictly speaking, is more like some kind of showdown procedure.

The three factions represent three different styles of doing things.

Zhao Baogang, Haiyan's old-school imperial capital circle;

the new style of the Wang brothers;

and Li Mo's Molong Media, which represents the capital of the new century.

The old school wants to maintain its position, and the new school craves more voice......

As for Li Mo, he came here entirely to dig a pit.

"This book is still about the theme of crossing......" Zhao Baogang spoke first.

This is also in line with the information obtained by Li Mo and Zong Shuai's investigation.

In this incident, Zhao Baogang was the first person to propose the plan of merging Molong Media.

The reason why he has this kind of thought, Li Mo estimates that it has something to do with Zhao Baogang's recent poor situation.

Since the filming of "Struggle" in 2009, in three years, he has successively launched many works such as "Who Calls the Shots of My Youth" and "Beijing Youth", and finally integrated them into the so-called "Youth Trilogy".

But it is undeniable that from the beginning of "Struggle" to the end of "Beijing Youth", his works, both in terms of ratings and audience reputation, are in a state of continuous decline, no matter how Zhao Baogang is called the "Godfather of Youth Dramas", he cannot change a basic fact: as he gets older, he is indeed more and more uncertain about the preferences and pulse of young audiences.

Therefore, in a sense, the reason why Zhao Baogang chose Molong Media can be regarded as the result of careful selection.

However, for Li Mo, even if Zhao Baogang has thousands of calculations and thoughts, the lack of the general trend in the future is enough for him to fall into the fate of being swept away by latecomers.

"It's indeed crossing," Li Mo nodded indifferently, "In the past two or three years, the audience of TV dramas with the theme of crossing is the most extensive among me, since it is the first time that several parties have cooperated, I think it is better to be more stable......"

"It's a pity, Xiao Li, your script came out too late," Zhao Baogang shook his head and sighed, "Maybe you don't know yet, the competent authorities above think that the theme of travel has a tendency to promote historical nihilism, so they are already preparing to issue a document to control the production and broadcast of this kind of theme......"

After a slight pause, Zhao Baogang continued: "Although the document has not been officially released yet, some companies in the circle that are close to the above basically know about it, and even if we produce it, I am afraid that it will not be able to sell it before the ban is issued." ”

I don't know if it's Li Mo's illusion, he always feels that Zhao Baogang's sentence just now, when he said the words 'close to the above', there was a faint sense of showing off.

Could it be that this is also an alternative 'show of strength'?

It's a pity that Zhao Baogang's 'small actions' are destined to be made by the blind man.

"I think there is one thing that maybe the two of you got wrong at the beginning," Li Mo picked up a photocopy of the script from the coffee table, slowly opened the cover, pointed to a place and said: "From the beginning, I have made it very clear that the broadcast platform of this "The Promotion of the Crown Princess" is not a TV station, but an online streaming stream. ”

Speaking of this, Li Mo responded in the same mocking tone: "Could it be that the two of you are just looking at the investment amount and income distribution, and ignoring the most critical part?"

What Li Mo didn't expect was that as soon as he said this, not only Zhao Baogang and Haiyan, who were sitting opposite, blushed, but also picked up the script and plan in front of them again, and even the Wang brothers, who were sitting on the side as the background board, actually secretly picked up the documents that had been thrown aside......

Damn, these two guys didn't pay attention to it just now......

I can't even do a good job, what's the use of asking you two?

Silently putting away his disdain for the Wang brothers, Li Mo continued: "I think everyone knows very well that in the film and television media industry, the film investment is large, the return is slow, the income is unstable, the investment in TV dramas is small, and the rate of return is higher, but it is seriously restricted by the TV platform, and the most important thing is that now many TV platforms have also embarked on the road of self-made dramas, which has also seriously squeezed the living space of traditional film and television production companies. ”

Although Zhao Baogang and the others were quite annoyed by Li Mo's ridicule in and out of his words, Li Mo's words still spoke to their hearts.

If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't find a way out, with the status of these two, how could they end up in person and want to snatch food from the juniors' jobs......

As for the Wang brothers, this would be a good backdrop .......

Seeing that everyone recognized his words, Li Mo continued: "With the rise of the Internet, video websites have become the preferred way of entertainment among young people under the age of thirty-five, so as far as I know, there are Internet streaming platforms that are ready to learn the way of TV stations and start making their own dramas." ”

"That's why I'm going to make a web series that will be broadcast on video sites......"

"However, as far as I know, in recent years, the cost of acquiring TV episodes by Internet platforms has been very low," Zhao Baogang frowned, pointed to the plan and said: "According to the budget in the plan, the cost of this "Promotion of the Crown Princess" exceeds 40 million yuan, how can we be sure that we can recover the cost and even generate profits?"
