Chapter 554 Financing Evening

After some careful consideration and preparation, Lu Yang came to Molong Media on the third day after Li Mo completed the filming of "Detective Chinatown", and submitted his revised script and cast draft list of "Shura Battlefield" to Li Mo for review.

Generally speaking, a script review like this should have a special script review team to conduct the initial screening before it is brought to Li Mo.

But Molong Media knows that its boss is willing to delegate power in other places, but in terms of script review, no one else is allowed to get involved.

Not to mention that Molong Media does not have a script review department now, even if it is in the future, looking at Li Mo's posture, it will only be an institution for preliminary script review, and the final review will only be in Li Mo's hands.

At present, any project with an investment of more than 20 million, whether it is film or television, needs Li Mo's approval before it can be implemented.

It stands to reason that "Embroidered Spring Knife" will expand its worldview only at the behest of Li Mo, and eventually become a historical martial arts I that can be counted in the online literature industry, Lu Yang and Chen Shu are the people who co-created this work, "Shura Battlefield" should not encounter many obstacles here in Li Mo......

But Lu Yang found that it seemed that Li Mo's state today was a little ...... Not quite right......

For example, now, he finally finished introducing the conceptual list of the main characters, and at the same time said his reasons for presupposing these actors, but as soon as he looked up, Li Mo was staring at a certain direction outside the window in a daze.

, I'm so hard......

But what can be done?

Who called this guy in front of him his own boss and financier?

With patience, Lu Yang raised his voice a little and spoke again.

"Mr. Li, the main character actors of "Shura Battlefield" are preset, do you have any questions? If there is nothing to modify, then ...... Is it time to move on to the pre-planning process?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

(╬ Μ„dish Μ„)

Taking a deep breath, Lu Yang continued to say with a smile on his face: "Mr. Li, Mr. Li?!"

In the end, under Feng Wen's 'gentle' prompt, Li Mo finally returned with his soul.

It's just that the first words after he returned to his soul made the smile on Lu Yang's face stiffen a little.

"Huh, Lu Yang, are you done?"

"Yes, Mr. Li, look at the list of actors I just proposed, is there anything inappropriate?"

As Lu Yang guessed just now, Li Mo's mind just now was indeed not here.

His mind was still on what to do with what had happened that night......

To be honest, until now, he hadn't figured out whether Tong Liya was borrowing wine that night or was premeditated......

But no matter what, after all, it was Li Mo's own 'doing' trouble.

Don't care what 'doing' is, Li Mo is now thinking about how to face Tong Liya next.

In this case, he can still divide into a 'thread' to manage the role arrangement on Lu Yang's side, which is already very energetic, okay......

Under Lu Yang's reminder, Li Mo turned his attention to the revised script in front of him.

At the first place is the candidate for the actor Shen Lian.

Lu Yang probably also had a certain understanding, knowing that Li Mo had a good relationship with Deng Chao and Wang Xiaoming, and then referred to the popularity and appeal of the two, and noted the two candidates in this column......

Unfortunately, neither of these are suitable.

Deng Chao has not had a schedule for most of the past six months.

Li Mo also recently learned when he confirmed the recording time of "Let's Run" that in addition to the recording of "Let's Run", Deng Chao also took over Zhou Xinchi's "Mermaid", and he signed a full 4-month schedule as the leading actor......

Coupled with the three months of "Let's Run", at least seven months, Deng Chao doesn't expect to have time to join the group.

In martial arts films like "Shura Battlefield", although Li Mo does not require the actors to do all the actions himself, some static actions still have enough strength, so no matter who plays the role, at least take some time to train.

If the role of Shen Lian is handed over to Deng Chao, maybe the recording of the second season of "Run" next year will be delayed.

As for Wang Xiaoming?

After the release of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch: Bright Moon Heaven" this month, the one who dares to let him play the role of a costume is definitely a local tyrant.

The kind of trench that is inhuman......

Among the actors under the company, Wang Kai's costume image is good, but his temperament is a bit too positive, which is not suitable for Shen Lian's temperament of being both good and evil, and going with the flow......

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Mo finally failed to find a suitable candidate among the actors in his mind, and in the end he could only reluctantly add the words 'Wang Kai (tentative)' after Shen Lian's name, and crossed out the names of Deng Chao and Wang Xiaoming at the same time......

The heroine Hokusai, Lu Yang's default candidate is Su Chang, there is no problem with this......

Shen Lian's colleagues, bosses Lu Wenzhao and Sun Yizhou are also quite suitable......

Pei Lun, Lu Yang's preset candidate is Cheng He, but this guy's problem is basically the same as Deng Chao's, and the schedule is completely uncoordinated, Li Mo decided to contact the original Lei Jiayin first......

Wei Zhongxian......

Lu Yang's default candidate is Mr. Li Jianyi, that is, the old actor who played Xiong Dun's father in "Get Out, Tumor".

Naturally, there is no problem with his acting skills, but Li Jianyi in Li Mo's mind, after putting on the costume, always reminds people of the role in an old TV series - Cao Huachun who he played in "Unparalleled in the World......

There is more femininity, but not enough ruthlessness.

…… Speaking of which, in fact, Li Mo is more interested in Teacher Wu Gang, but I don't know if he has a schedule......

This one is to be determined.

…………

An hour later, Lu Yang took the list of actors who had been changed by Li Moquan, and his face was depressed......

Shen Lian, Hokusai, Lu Wenzhao, Pei Lun, Ding Baiying, Wei Zhongxian, Xinwang, Ding Chong......

There are a total of eight main characters, and the list he handed over has not changed except for Hokusai and Lu Wenzhao, and the others are either to be determined, or they have been replaced by Li Mo with other candidates......

If the candidates of Shen Lian and Pei Lun really need to be adjusted because of the actors' schedules, then Ding Baiying was replaced by Zhang Tianai, King Xin was replaced by Zhang Bingbing, and Ding Chong was replaced by Song Zu, and it was really to support the newcomers of their own company......

But then again, even if Lu Yang knew Li Mo's intentions, all he could do was accept it.

After all, Li Mo, as the president of the company, naturally has a lot more to consider than Lu Yang as a director.

In this case, Li Mo can only use a few outstanding supporting roles to support the newcomer, which can already be regarded as a responsible performance for the film.

As for the candidates he proposed to be revised, in addition to the hard conditions such as schedules, even Lu Yang had to admit that Li Mo's candidates were higher than his preset in all aspects......

"Lu Yang, except for Shen Lian's candidates, other companies will start to contact recently, if there are any vacancies due to the schedule or my own wishes, you should ask Feng Wen for feedback as soon as possible. ”

After putting forward his opinions on the preset cast list of "Shura Battlefield", after Li Mo sent Lu Yang, who was depressed and expectant, away, he just stood up and stretched, and Feng Wen's words made him almost lose his muscles.

"Brother Mo, Brother Zong just informed me that the company will hold a financing promotion meeting at eight o'clock this evening in the Grand Ballroom of the Royal Hotel......

"Nani?!"

Li Mo was so surprised that he even used the lines of 'Guan Gu Magic'.

It's not that he doesn't feel the need to attend, it's that Zong Shuai's work efficiency is too high.

Financing pitches are not something that can be held casually.

Invitation target, financing project, financing amount......

Just the proper nouns involved in Zhong Lifang's thinking about Li Mo's report a few days ago were enough to make Li Mo's head stunned.

As a result, it has only been a few days, and Feng Wen has actually told him that now Zhong Lifang and they have invited a large number of people to listen to how they fooled ...... Uh, no, it's listening to how you talk about your company's financing strategy......

…… Speaking of which, this is the first time in Li Mo's two lives.

Damn, I wouldn't have played so well if I knew I wouldn't have it.

Hehe, Li Mo doesn't want to think about it, in modern society, in the financial world, even if he is as strong as Disney's CEO, that 'smiling Mickey Mouse' still needs to deal with investors from all walks of life......

You want to maintain control of the company, you have enough money to help it grow, and finally you want to be at ease......

How can there be such a cheap thing in this world?

At eight o'clock that night, the Grand Ballroom of the Royal Hotel was brightly lit, and reporters from all walks of life were moved, and many big-name stars walked into the hotel door from the cameras.

But more representatives of the financial giants have entered the hotel before the media noticed.

Haina Asia, Redhill Capital, Matrix Partners, Yunfeng Fund......

Almost the vast majority of well-known companies in the domestic venture capital industry have sent their representatives to attend.

…… Even CCB Culture, which just withdrew from the investment of Mustang Galloping half a year ago, was attended by Vice Chairman Li Qianxing today, which fully proves the importance of their company to today's financing promotion conference.

In addition to these giants in the venture capital industry, Molong also sent invitations to companies in the film and television media industry, such as Wang's Group, Guanglu Media, CTI Media, and Wanda Pictures...... and other veteran general managers or chairmen in the industry have also been invited......

Compared with these business giants, domestic celebrities of all sizes have immediately become the most inconspicuous group among them.

The presentation will officially begin at half past eight in the evening.

As the president of Molong Media and the holder of the company's largest shares, Li Mo was the first to take the stage to deliver a speech, and after expressing his gratitude to all the guests for their face-to-face participation, he stepped off the podium and handed over the follow-up matters to the more professional and experienced Zhong Lifang.

As an elite who has been in this circle for more than ten years, Zhong Lifang's reputation in the venture capital industry is even louder than Li Mo.

After all, a few years ago, she single-handedly handled the financing operation of the Mustang Gallop.

For this woman who "knows how to take advantage of women's advantages, seize the right opportunity to advance or retreat, and can be comfortable in negotiations most of the time", many people in the investment banking industry still remember it vividly.

Li Mo, who stepped off the podium, inevitably became one of the focuses of the banquet.

Although he doesn't like this kind of entertainment, since he is in the business circle, Li Mo also knows that such a time must be unavoidable, even if there is no such persuasion behavior in ordinary wine bureaus, but it is always inevitable to take a sip after talking to people from time to time, and before it has been an hour, Li Mo already feels a little high.

Just as he managed to find an inconspicuous corner and sit down, intending to untie his shirt and tie and relax himself, a glass of warm water was placed in front of him.

Before he could see who the person in front of him was, Li Mo subconsciously loosened the neckline slightly and quickly buttoned it, and explained with a little embarrassment: "It's rude, the button on the collar of my shirt has fallen off......"

"Okay, what are you pretending to be in front of me......"

A familiar female voice sounded in Li Mo's ears.

Shaking his slightly heavy head, Li Mo reluctantly opened his eyes and saw that the person standing in front of him was actually Liu Yifei.

The next moment, the expression on Li Mo's face was a little strange.

What do you mean by 'what else is in front of you'......

When did the relationship between the two of us get to the point where we didn't have to pretend in front of each other?

seemed to feel that what he said just now was a little vague, Liu Yifei quickly explained: "I know what kind of ...... you are on the set."

Rubbing his temples, Li Mo smiled bitterly: "I'm really more suitable to stay on the set, just a few minutes of speech, I memorized it all afternoon......"

"Nothing is innate," Liu Yifei seemed to think of some not very good memories, "When I first learned to dance, I also felt terrible pain......

Pointing to the cup of hot water placed in front of Li Mo, Liu Yifei continued to speak: "I specially found the honey water made by the waiter, which is said to have the effect of relieving hangover. ”

Rubbing his temples with a faint pain, Li Mo was not hypocritical, he picked up the cup and poured a big sip unceremoniously, as the warm water entered the stomach along his throat, and he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, Li Mo felt that his head, which was still beating wildly just now, seemed to be slowly calming down.

"Yifei, you still care about me," After the pain in his head gradually dissipated, Li Mo was also in the mood to joke, "Brother Zong and Sister Lifang only cared about greeting people and making friends, and they didn't notice that my whole person was not good......"

"Okay, don't be ignorant of good people," Liu Yifei glanced at Li Mo angrily, "It's that Brother Zong found that you seem to have drunk a little too much, and then asked me to look for you all over the hall." ”

"Uh...... Compared to them, I'm really not good at it. Li Mo smiled awkwardly and asked a little curiously, "Anyway, why are you here?

Li Mo looked left and right, "Why didn't I see anyone?"

"Because among the actors in the company, I am the only one who came. Liu Yifei snapped his fingers and said, "Sister Qian and Brother Kai are not in the imperial capital, and Su Chang has only joined the company for a long time, and I am the only one who is available and can be on call......"

Li Mo nodded, and after the strength of the wine slowly subsided, he also figured out why Zong Shuai called Liu Yifei over.

Regardless of whether the senior management of Molong Media ranks its actors in terms of seniority, the outside world generally regards Liu Yifei as Molong's 'signboard'......

Maybe this 'signboard' is useless in the face of venture capital bigwigs, but for people who are companies in the industry or have some knowledge of the circle, it is natural to take Liu Yifei's attendance as an indicator of whether there are hidden dangers within Molong......

The company's personnel are stable, so the probability of producing good works is high, which is already the consensus of the industry.

Fortunately, Molong soon had a good opportunity to show his production and distribution capabilities.

On July 31, "Wushuang" was launched!

The empire of light and shadow of China Entertainment
