Chapter 578: Dig a pit and bury it yourself
As the first drama of Penguin Video, Molong Media and Noon Sunshine tripartite cooperation, Li Mo unceremoniously stuffed Jin Dong and Tong Liya into the Ghost Blowing Lantern Essence Ancient City, and they also served as the male and female protagonists respectively.
Although Mo Long's practice of forcibly arranging actor candidates by large funders before filming starts is very common in the industry, in Hou Hongliang's eyes, Mo Long's behavior is almost a slap in the face of Chi Guoguo.
You must know that when the two sides cooperated in Langya Bang, although Mo Long was also stuffing people into the crew, the main arrangement was still supporting roles such as two men and three women, but whenever it comes to the selection of the protagonist, they will take the initiative to communicate, how can there be such a strong time as this time?
Li Mo clearly did this on purpose.
But even so, Hou Hongliang could only carry it stiffly.
Who told him that he didn't have enough say?
Penguin Video provided 35% of the funding and a strong promotion and playback platform on Penguin Video, Molong invested 45% and provided the adaptation copyright of the original work, while Hou Hongliang's team invested 20% of the money against the signboard of Noon Sunshine and was responsible for all the behind-the-scenes teams.
In this cooperation model, the weaknesses of Hou Hongliang's team were determined almost from the beginning.
Although Penguin Video has a demand for high-quality playback resources, this cooperation is based on the quality of trying, and the purpose is more to explore the feasibility of this model, even if the cooperation with Molong and Noon Sunshine fails, as long as there is experience in cooperation with companies in the industry, when similar cooperation is carried out in the future, it can also be regarded as a demonstration effect for other companies in the industry
Although Molong Media has the highest amount of investment, due to Li Mo's early layout, the number of P hoarded in his hands is not small, even if he does not shoot dramas like the Exquisite Ancient City, Li Mo can completely take out Hua Qiangu and Sansheng III Shili Peach Blossom
Anyway, the director of these two dramas is Lin Yufen from Xiangjiang, and the directors in the mainland are not in the same circle.
And what about Hou Hongliang?
The share redemption time stipulated by Molong Media is imminent, and after the last time the conversation with Li Mo collapsed, Molong simply paid for the maintenance of Noon Sunshine during this time in strict accordance with the proportion of shares.
Just imagine, the original salary is 100 percent, but suddenly because someone died, it will become only 65 percent, who can be happy?
At this time, Hou Hongliang had a practical understanding of the other side of Li Mo.
Damn, this kid is a cautious donkey!
can be said to be scolding, scolding and scolding, Li Mo's actions Hou Hongliang can't jump out of the slightest mistake, so during this time, he can only scold Li Mo when he has time, this kid is not authentic, and after scolding, he continues to go out and make a smile with others
So, when he finally encountered a situation where Mo Long asked to coordinate the shooting plan, Hou Hongliang didn't think much about it at all, and directly made people refuse
However, the position of Molong Media in this tripartite cooperation has long been doomed to the futility of Hou Hongliang's small actions.
Li Mo made a phone call directly to the producer of Penguin Video in the crew, and the matter was done with one sentence.
"If Tong Liya can't attend the Detective Chinatown campaign on time, then I think it's necessary to reconsider the follow-up cooperation plan of the Ghost Blowing Lantern series."

!
Hou Hongliang had to retreat silently.
As for director Kong Sheng?
Although he has a very strong relationship with Hou Hongliang, he is not so iron that he uses his dream as a bargaining chip and the two investors are tough
After Tong Liya's leave is settled, there is basically nothing difficult about the announcement of the Chinatown detective case.
When the contract was signed, Wang Baoqiang and Liu Haoran both indicated in the contract that they must cooperate with the publisher to participate in no less than five publicity activities.
Of course, Tong Liya also signed such a clause.
It's just that I didn't expect that Tong Liya would be signed directly later, making this clause exist in name only.
With twenty days of free time, Li Mo decisively decided to do something.
Boredom, he paced a few steps around the office, and a document suddenly attracted Li Mo's attention.
It was a copyright licensing agreement from Heung Kong Express.
In other words, Mr. Jin Yong is really a believer.
The last time Li Mo went to Xiangjiang to do publicity, the old gentleman once verbally said that he was willing to hand over the copyright of his adaptation to Molong, as Li Mo thanked him for saving Cha Chuanxuan in the Kingdom of Siam.
As the so-called elders give, they dare not resign, Li Mo naturally can't take other people's politeness as a blessing, and recklessly run to tell others that he wants the copyright of those films, but there is still some speculation in private.
After all, Jin Yong's works have been popular in the Chinese-speaking world for decades, and almost all of his works have been adapted.
As a result, when the Xiangjiang Company sent the old man's authorization document to the imperial capital by express delivery as soon as possible, Li Mo was still shocked by the old man's entrenchment.
According to this authorization, Molong Media will own the film and television adaptation rights of all 14 works for 20 years
To clarify, the existing copyright law of the Celestial Empire stipulates that the term of copyright protection of a work is the lifetime of the original author and 50 years after his death
Considering that Jin Yong has turned 90 years old this year, his gift can be described as extremely valuable.
If Li Mo releases the news now that he is willing to sell the authorization of these works, there should be no pressure to sell at least tens of millions of yuan
With this power of attorney, Li Mo can naturally consider the question of which book to start.
Li Mo's first thought was the Condor Heroes.
Don't get me wrong, it's not a TV series.
Liu Yifei's version is less than ten years ago, at this time, who will play the little dragon girl in the remake of the Condor Heroes?
Is it like Yu Zhen, looking for Chen Yanxi to play the role of Little Dragon Girl, and then designing a nondescript chicken leg head, so that the shape carefully designed by his own stylist will become a reserved program for major comedy variety shows?
Stop it!
If that's the case, Li Mo thinks it's better to hit his head and die.
Movie version?
Liu Yifei naturally has no problem, but it is a trouble who will play Yang Guo.
Wang Xiaoming has now used the tragic box office of the white-haired witch's legend of Mingyue Heaven to prove how destructive his evil and crazy smile is, although there are many reasons for the failure of Mingyue Heaven, but Li Mo doesn't think it will be a good choice to find Wang Xiaoming to play the role of Yang Guo at this time.
After thinking about it, Li Mo finally chose his next work goal.
