Chapter 413: Not an Enemy
"Mr. Wang, are you so afraid to see me?"
Li Mo's simple question made the thought of turning around and leaving in Wang Zhonglei's mind instantly come to naught.
In this world, if there is a person who Wang Zhonglei is absolutely unwilling and unable to show weakness, then this person must be Li Mo.
Since "Master of Hypnosis" set a new box office record for domestic suspense films, Wang Zhonglei and his Wang Group have fought with Li Mo at many times and at different levels......
However, it is a pity that Wang Zhonglei has no victory, whether it is the box office of the movie, the audience's reputation, the company's profit margin, or even a direct fist duel between the two people.
That's it, but every time he fights with Li Mo, in the eyes of everyone, the unreasonable party will always be Wang Zhonglei.
It's just once or twice, and if this is the case every time, Wang Zhonglei can only summarize the reason for this matter into the category of 'metaphysics'.
Li Mo, this kid, is definitely the nemesis that God threw out to restrain me......
For this kind of destiny creature, Wang Zhonglei had to act decisively from his heart.
I can't afford to provoke, can't I hide?
Maybe Wang Zhonglei is reluctant to admit it, but recently, except for the copyright battle for "Where Are You Going, Dad", he has dealt with Molong on behalf of the Wang Group, and at other times, he doesn't even want to mention the name Molong Media.
However, at this time, what I heard in my ears was Li Mo's slightly provocative question, and what I saw in front of me was Li Mo's hateful young face.
In fact, if he wasn't sure that he would never be able to beat Li Mo, I'm afraid that what Wang Zhonglei would have to do at this time would be more than just suppressing his anger and asking questions.
"Li Mo, why are you here?, Wang Xiaoming?" asked Wang Zhonglei in a stiff tone.
"Tut-tut, Mr. Wang, I admire you a little bit when I say it," Li Mo responded with a relaxed smile: "You two brothers are about to be abandoned, and you are still in the mood to care why Wang Xiaoming didn't have such an idle ......"
Wang Zhonglei had been speculating in his heart why Li Mo was here today, and now that Li Mo had almost made his words clear, Wang Zhonglei suddenly blessed his heart, frowned and said, "Could it be ...... Is that news true?"
"That's right, the news you said is true," Li Mo put away his smile, made a gesture towards Wang Zhonglei, and motioned for him to sit down, "I'm here today to help the Wang Group solve trouble." ”
Wang Zhonglei continued to frown, although he has been annoyed by all kinds of messy things recently, but he has been sitting in the position of general manager of Wang's Group for so many years, and he doesn't want to be ugly and timid in front of Li Mo, so he still replied in a nonchalant tone: "Solve the trouble? I think it's here to make trouble, right? Those people you said are just clowns, and we Wang can solve the problem by ourselves." ”
"Really?" Li Mo glanced at Wang Zhonglei lightly, and continued to speak: "I won't go around the bend with you anymore, in this matter, we Molong are also victims." ”
"Victim?......" Wang Zhonglei looked up to the sky and snorted with a mocking smile, "Next, does Director Li Da plan to tell me that you have no interest in Zhao Baogang and Haiyan's wooing and promises, and even if you are desperate in the future, you will not accept the intervention of foreign capital?"
"Wang Zhonglei, Wang Zhonglei, you are really too far behind your brother. Li Mo shook his head, drank all the tea in the cup in front of him, and said as he got up and walked towards the door: "I knew that you only had this vision, I should have gone directly to the headquarters of the Wang Group to find another President Wang, and I am 100% convinced that talking to him is definitely easier and easier than talking to you......
"Wait," Seeing that Li Mo was about to walk to the door of the box and was about to go out, Wang Zhonglei couldn't hold back anymore and said, "You tell me clearly, where is the difference between me and my brother?"
Speaking of which, it is no wonder that after hearing Li Mo's evaluation, Wang Zhonglei's reaction was so big.
Since he was a child, whether it was an elder or a teacher at school, everyone had the same evaluation of their brothers.
Wang Zhongjun will always be full of praise and appreciation, while Wang Zhonglei has always been labeled as 'immature' and 'troublemaker'.
After the two brothers went through a lot of trials and tribulations, and finally established the Wang Group, the two of them are still so clear.
Even, as Wang Zhonglei continued to make moves and make mistakes, in the imperial capital circle, some people who were not in harmony with their brothers, such as Zhao Baogang and Haiyan, even said the evaluation of 'Brother Long and Brother Mouse' on some private occasions.
With the passage of time, it is naturally impossible to hide such an evaluation from Wang Zhonglei's ears and eyes, but he has the heart to fight for one or two......
It's a pity that with the birth of Li Mo and Molong Media, almost all of them are climbing up by stepping on the face of the Wang brothers......
The industry has confirmed that before the filming of "Chinese Partner", Mo Long had sent an investment invitation to the Wang brothers, but Wang Zhonglei refused to participate in the investment on the grounds that Li Mo had never directed this genre, and even hinted to Wang Xiaoming through various channels not to take over the role of Cheng Dongqing......
But what about the end result?
The box office of "Chinese Partner" was as high as 768 million, setting a new box office record for the main theme film, and even before Xu Zheng's "Thai Embarrassment", it once sat on the throne of the box office champion of Chinese films.
Wang Xiaoming and Wang Kai won the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor respectively at the just-concluded Golden Rooster Awards ceremony with their wonderful performances in the movie......
In this year's Qingming schedule, "Get Out, Tumor" directed by Li Mo and starring Liu Yifei received both high reputation and good box office, while Wang's Group, their "Loyal Yang Family General" not only has more than twice the investment of "Tumor", but the publicity and distribution cost is nearly 1.5 times that of the other party, but the final box office is only one-tenth of "Tumor".
Finally, in the just-ended September, this time the Wang Group finally gained the upper hand, "Di Renjie's Divine Dragon King" won 600 million box office, dominating the film market in September, and Molong Media's "Happy Death Day", the final box office was only half of that of "Shendu Dragon King......
But the production and publicity of "Happy Death Day" did not exceed 45 million yuan in total;
And what about "Shendu Dragon King"?
The filming and production cost was 130 million, plus the publicity, totaling about 160 million......
Compare the profit margins of the two sides......
"Shendu Dragon King" said that it would be okay not to say about it.
Seeing that the stimulation of Wang Zhonglei was almost hot, Li Mo's expression became extremely sincere: "Mr. Wang, to be honest, even if there is no such thing this time, I am not worth it for your Wang Group." ”
Before Wang Zhonglei could ask what was not worth it, Li Mo continued: "Maybe your Wang Group did receive help from some people in the imperial capital circle in some aspects in the early days, but after so many years, didn't you give them anything in return?"
"How is it possible?" As soon as Li Mo's voice fell, Wang Zhonglei jumped up, "Xu Jinglei, Jiang Wen was able to be a director by himself, didn't he rely on our brother's financial support?"
"That's right," Li Mo slapped his face, "Although your brothers also made some hard-earned money when their movie was released, isn't that what you deserve after you are busy?"
As soon as Li Mo's words came out, the expression on Wang Zhonglei's face instantly turned cloudy, if it weren't for the deep grudge with Li Mo before, maybe he would have already taken Li Mo as a confidant.
"Mr. Wang, the grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, this is right, but the grace of dripping water, does not mean that even the spring opened by themselves should be allowed to be taken by others, our company is built by one-handed and one-footed, I don't know what you think, anyway, it is absolutely impossible for me to allow someone to point fingers at me just by virtue of some outdated connections and influence......"
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Wang Zhonglei will simply look at Li Mo more and more pleasing to the eye, and even the grudge against being beaten by Li Mo before has been left behind, "But those guys just can't eat the ancients, what can I do?"
"You can't help it, I have. Li Mo's face was confident. "Those guys are just asking for sweetness, so let's give them some sweetness......"
"What are you kidding?" Once interests are involved, Wang Zhonglei immediately returns to normal, "Our Wang Group itself is not enough to eat, how can we give them something?"
As soon as he said this, he stared at Li Mo with suspicious eyes, "Could it be that you want our Wang clan to be in front?"
"Hehe, Mr. Wang, you seem to have forgotten that it's not us Molong who wants to brush up on their presence in front of them now," Li Mo smiled, "To put it mildly, what they can do now is to make a show on the issue of film censorship, and at most it is to make a show, if I really plan to fight them desperately, I don't know who loses and who wins." ”
Li Mo said this, and Wang Zhonglei fell silent again.
He had to admit that Li Mo's seemingly single-handed rhetoric hit the weakness of the Wang Group.
In the final analysis, what Zhao Baogang and others want is interests, and it is best to get the benefits from the Wang Group, and Molong is just a tool for them to kill people with a knife.
If the 'knife' is too sharp, they will have to change the knife, but the goal of sharpening the knife will not change - it is still the Wang Group.
In other words, although Li Mo took the initiative to meet Wang Zhonglei today, in the actual situation, the Wang brothers are the one who needs a partner more......
