Twenty minutes ago, after receiving a call from the staff of Molong Media, Chen Shu did not rush over to sign the contract as soon as possible, but dialed someone's phone first.

"Hey, that's the case, Mo Long just called over there, saying that their boss seems to have some other requirements for the script, and asked me to go to their company to talk in detail, do you think I'm going to go?"

"I didn't ask about the director, and the last time I went to Lin'an, it was only a temporary agreement of intent, and no one said when they planned to shoot my script, so it's too abrupt to ask about that kind of thing. ”

"Okay, you go directly to the downstairs of Molong Media Company and wait for me, and the two of us go up together, and say that you are me...... Friends, they didn't say I had to go there alone anyway, what's the big deal about taking a friend with me?"

"Molong Media's company address is ......"

Chen Shu, who put down the phone, took a deep breath and began to work in the house, just like ...... N years ago, when she went to apply for the dance department......

…………

Thanks to the poor traffic conditions in the imperial capital, it took Chen Shu more than two hours to knock on the door of the reception room of Molong Media with a dusty face.

Unlike the last time they met in Lin'an, the beautiful girl from Western Xinjiang next to Li Mo was gone, replaced by a middle-aged man about forty years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a shrewd face.

"It's not good," Chen Shu muttered in a low voice, and was about to say something, when the young man who came with her quietly pushed her arm, Chen Shu tried to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, walked to the sofa opposite Li Mo and sat down.

"Miss Chen, this is our senior producer of Molong Media and my agent, Mr. Zong Shuai, who is the man next to you?"

After the two sides sat down, it was Li Mo who spoke first to break the deadlock.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Director Li, I forgot to introduce it," after Li Mo reminded him, Chen Shu hurriedly explained, "This is my friend, named Lu Yang, who is also a director." ”

"Director Lu, your first work "Cinema for the Blind" won the Best New Director Award at the Golden Rooster Film Festival, it's really amazing," after Chen Shu finished introducing, Li Mo stretched out his hand to Lu Yang, "I'm Li Mo, I'm a newcomer in the director world, Lu Dedao is earlier than me, and he is my senior. ”

If it weren't for the fact that Chen Shu and Lu Yang were very sure, Li Mo had definitely never met Lu Yang before, and after Li Mo said what he said just now, Lu Yang would have almost been able to control his emotions.

As Li Mo said, Lu Yang debuted very early, long before he graduated from the directing department of the Imperial Capital Film Academy, he already had experience as an executive director in the TV drama crew.

Not only that, since he graduated in 2007, his work schedule has basically been every year, although he can't be compared with the top directors in the circle, but compared with the students who graduated at the same time, Lu Yang is definitely a busy one.

It's a pity that although he has a busy schedule, he is really a little unable to get his income.

The Best New Director Award at the Golden Rooster Film Festival has nothing but a trophy;

The main competition unit of the Busan International Film Festival - Inspur Award, the prize money won is at most enough to cover the travel expenses and accommodation to and from Busan......

It has been six years since he graduated, and Lu Yang has not gained much except for a few trophies.

Just like this time, after Chen Shu wrote the script of "Embroidered Spring Knife", he was the first person to see it, and he once thought about putting this story on the screen, but as a director, Lu Yang has not proved that he has control over the market, and he can't get investment at all.

Just before coming, Lu Yang tried to ask Chen Shu if he could recommend himself to Mo Long as the director of "Embroidered Spring Knife......

It's a pity that even if it is such an option that doesn't seem to be too difficult, after learning that the young man opposite is Li Mo, Lu Yang has become less hopeful.

When it comes to the ability to control the market, no matter how conceited Lu Yang is, he doesn't dare to say that he can catch up with Li Mo.

The youngest member of the 'Billion Yuan Box Office Club' in China, is it a waste of fame?

"Since you have fallen in love with Chen Shu's script, most of you are planning to shoot it yourself, right?" Thinking of this, Lu Yang had already planned that he would definitely find an opportunity to stop Chen Shu's reckless behavior of helping him speak, lest his old friend not only not be able to help, but also delay her own affairs.

And the next development of things seems to confirm Lu Yang's expectations.

Because, the first sentence Li Mo said almost made Chen Shu's eyebrows twist together.

"Miss Chen, for this script, there are some situations that I didn't expect now," Li Mo said with a tangled face, "Originally, I was indeed very optimistic about your script. But after I returned to the imperial capital, I chatted with some professionals, and with reference to their opinions, I found that if I can't solve a few problems, then I'm afraid I won't be able to buy your script as promised. ”

Hearing this, whether it was Lu Yang or Chen Shu, their hearts had already risen to their throats.

Both had been involved in filmmaking before, so they knew that in many cases, the director's personal expression had to give way to commercial interests.

Although Li Mo is the boss of Molong Media, it seems that he is not an arbitrary person, so he will listen to the opinions and suggestions of others extensively.

It's just that the opinion he listened to this time is likely to directly affect the future of Chen Shu and Lu Yang.

Thinking of this, the two of them quietly wrote down a note to Zong Shuai in the small book in their hearts, in their opinion, the 'professional' in Li Mo's mouth must be the one who is sitting on the side of the old god.

"Director Li, but when we were in Lin'an, it was clear that we already had an agreement......

Chen Shu argued unconvinced.

"Miss Chen, please make one thing clear first," at this time, Zong Shuai opened his mouth to explain for Li Mo, "What we signed before was only an agreement of intent, and in a legal sense, it does not represent anything. As Xiaomo said just now, I think it is almost impossible for your script to succeed without a lot of pre-operational activities. ”

After listening to Zong Shuai's words, Chen Shu's face became even more ugly, but she couldn't refute it.

In recent years, with the rise of the "Painted Skin" series of monster movies, the overall decline of traditional action movies is an indisputable fact.

What's more, the tragic end of "Loyal Yang Family General" will still be hung in front of everyone to show the public......

It has been more than two weeks since the release of "Loyal Yang Family General", and the total box office of this movie has not yet crossed the 60 million mark, which is not even as good as the box office of "Get Out, Tumor" on the first day of release......

Now companies in the industry, no matter how bold they are, they don't dare to rush to the thunder of martial arts films now.

From this point of view, after seeing the script, Molong Media is willing to carefully consider the ways and possibilities of its successful operation, which is already a rare conscientious company in the industry.

At this time, Lu Yang, who had been silent, also spoke, "Mr. Zong, you just said that if this script is to be successful, a lot of preliminary operations will be required, I wonder if you can explain in detail what you mean by pre-operation, and what do we need to do in this process?"
