Chapter 433: Complicated Things
Being able to get the investment in the "Wolf Warrior" series of movies is indeed a surprise for Li Mo and Mo Long.
Through this incident, this also made Li Mo realize a problem: in the entertainment industry in this time and space, he still has fewer connections.
In addition to the brothers and sisters in the Academy of Drama Academy, Li Mo also knows Deng Chao and Wang Xiaoming, who have worked with actors in the past.
Before going to Deng Chao's "Breakup Master" crew to make a cameo this time, Li Mo thought that with Deng Chao's funny personality, he should be the same as his wife, an otaku who usually likes to stay at home when he has nothing to do, who knew that when he arrived on the set, seeing so many cameos from all walks of life on the crew's shooting plan, Li Mo seemed to have discovered that although Deng Chao didn't seem to be very reliable, and he would go off the line from time to time when it came to communication, he was second only to Wang Xiaoming when it came to communication skills.
However, in the middle of the only two people, it seems that this comparison is not representative......
Deng Chao of the original time and space was able to serve as the captain in "Let's Run", which in itself already represents the producer's recognition of Deng Chao's qualifications and connections, not to mention his sense of variety show, is it embarrassing to be funny, but with this qualification, how can it be comparable to Li Mo's behind-the-scenes work?
Besides, whether it is Wang Xiaoming or Deng Chao, they are all old fritters who have been mixed in the circle for more than ten years, even if you count the time that 'predecessor Li Mo' has mixed in the circle, they are not on the same level as such old fritters at all.
After getting the cameo role in "The Breakup Master", Li Mo's work focus shifted again.
After a series of twists and turns, Fat Di's "Shanshan is Coming" has moved to post-production, and CTI Media is indeed very unique in the production and distribution of TV dramas.
Like "Shanshan is Coming", the biggest actor in the crew is only the second-tier male Yan Kuan, and the heroine is still a newcomer......
The heritage of the old film and television media company is undoubtedly revealed.
In contrast, Mo Long's opening work "Langya Bang" is a bit unfavorable.
The problem lies in a regulation recently promulgated by the State.
Just recently, radio and television issued new regulations to major TV stations: from July 1, 2014, the total number of monthly and annual episodes of costume dramas broadcast by all satellite TV comprehensive channels in prime time shall not exceed 30% of the total number of episodes of all dramas broadcast in prime time in that month and that year......
To put it simply, this thing is also an inefficient version of the 'Ancient Restriction Order' on this plane.
In Li Moyuan's time and space, with the popularity of a series of ancient costumes such as Yu Ma's version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Ancient Sword", many film and television companies began to choose the genre of costume dramas.
In order to cool down the costume drama boom, in mid-2015, Radio and Television issued a new rule to limit the number of episodes of costume dramas on TV platforms.
This is what everyone calls the 'Ancient Restriction Order'.
After coming to this time and space, Li Mo also specifically asked industry professionals such as Zong Shuai and Hou Hongliang about the relevant situation.
After receiving a positive answer, Li Mocai decided to set the first work in the field of Molong Media's TV drama as "Langya Bang". At that time, I thought that even if everything developed according to the original trajectory, the 'Ancient Restriction Order' would not be implemented until about 2 years later, and Mo Long should have withdrawn from it early at that time.
Who knows that people are not as good as heaven, or maybe God doesn't like Li Mo is too proud of this time, the last time I met Zhao Baogang, it was obviously in the investigation and research stage, and it was actually issued without warning in less than a month.
If the speed at which this regulation was introduced is compared to the fabled 'imminent' film classification system, this time, the efficiency of the higher authorities is simply the speed of light......
But in the Celestial Empire, radio and television is not only a county official, but also a current manager, even if you have great ability, in the face of this unreasonable road, you can only obey orders.
Mo Long is in such a situation right now.
However, fortunately, there is still about half a year before the implementation of the 2014 regulations, although there will certainly be no loopholes to drill in this regulation, but at the practical level, Hou Hongliang and Zong Shuai both believe that it is not yet time to completely give up hope.
…… It's a big deal to win by quality, anyway, in this regard, "Langya Bang" has proved with facts that the opponents who can fight with him will definitely not exceed one palm.
However, it is precisely because of this shrunken version of the 'Ancient Restriction Order' that Xingbaoyuan and Haiyu Film and Television, which are preparing for "The Promotion of the Crown Princess", are also suddenly nervous.
Xingbaoyuan, who was originally able to drag on because of Zhao Baogang's petty temper, has not only greatly increased his enthusiasm for work since the introduction of the ancient restriction order, but can even be described as urging other partners to work......
It's a pity that Zhao Baogang's pretentious style has basically made several other companies cold.
When it is unprofitable, everyone can accept it, but your Xingbaoyuan's style is too ugly, right?
When the ancient restriction order was not issued, I just wanted to let others top the tank, spend other people's money, and do my own thing, but now that something is wrong, I am afraid that I will miss the opportunity for cooperation?
Why did you go earlier?!
If it weren't for Li Mo's consideration that if Xingbaoyuan was kicked out now, he might not be able to find a better opportunity to trap him to death in the future and tried his best to stop it, maybe Xingbaoyuan's investment share in "The Promotion of the Crown Princess" would have been divided up by several others.
However, it was precisely because Li Mo stood up and said a few words that Zhao Baogang's perception of Li Mo changed to a certain extent...... After all, in this matter, his old buddy Haiyan is not on his side.
…………
If the progress of all sections of the company is still smooth, then the production of variety shows can be regarded as the current shortcomings of Molong Media.
Whether it is Hailan Satellite TV's "Run" or Modu Satellite TV's "Extreme Challenge", they are all backed by the David TV platform and then cooperated with well-known film and television companies in the industry, but now Yu Hangying and Yan Min are full of ideas, but they can't realize it.
Although Yu Hangying and Yan Min are both capable talents in program production, some places that need to rely on the advantages of the platform to make achievements are the biggest problems they are facing now.
Zong Shuai can rely on the connections he has accumulated in the circle to bring in some second-tier and third-tier artists, and it is not a big problem to temporarily fill the scene, but Li Mo knows the status of "Run" and "Extreme Challenge" in outdoor live-action variety shows, even if his company can't make up a full lineup because of the lack of artists, he can't just find someone to make up the numbers......
As a result, Yu Hangying and Yan Min could only continue to do various preliminary preparations while urgently launching their respective relationships and looking for a suitable program MC......
However, after all, the two of them were only the editors and directors of Hailan Satellite TV and Modu Satellite TV before, so Li Mo didn't expect the two of them to be of much help.
Just when Li Mo was upset because of the MCs of two variety shows, an 'old friend' came to the door.
