Chapter 232: Ways to Cooperate

For the TV drama sector under Molong Media, Li Mo originally planned it this way.

Molong Media's TV drama sector will only exist as a content provider for the broadcast platform in a short period of time.

Even if Molong will consider cross-shareholding with video platforms in the future, it will not involve the day-to-day operation of the broadcast platform in any case.

Under the guidance of this line of thinking, the TV drama section conceived by Li Mo is actually more similar to the model of an external director + internal team of the company.

In the process of drama production, Molong Media will inevitably control the expenses of the crew, the power of the producer, etc., but that is a special administrative power, and it is inevitably supervised by any company.

If the team is built according to the above model, the person who is really at the helm of Molong's TV drama section will be a person who communicates up and down between the company and the specific project, and does not have much influence on the director of the specific project.

However, Zong Shuai gave Li Mo a big 'surprise' silently.

'Happy', judging from the memory of Li Mo's previous life, as of 2018, Dongyang Noon led by Hou Hongliang has shown its strength in the field of TV dramas, "Langya Bang", "The Pretender", "Ode to Joy", "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" and a series of works have achieved a win-win situation of word-of-mouth income, not only the drama series has been widely acclaimed, but most of the participating actors have also gained a lot of profits.

Not only did veteran actors like Liu Tao, Hu Ge, and Jing Dong regain the second spring of their careers, but a group of new-generation actors such as Qiao Xin, Yang Zi, and Song Yi have also surged.

Being able to cooperate with a strong person in the industry like Hou Hongliang is definitely the best result for Molong's future film and television two routes to develop together and go hand in hand.

However, Cheng Ye Xiao He defeated Xiao He, Zong Shuai's surprise this time was a bit big, and the current situation of Molong Media is very likely to be unable to swallow this big cake.

Zong Shuai has always said that he is talking about 'cattle people', but in Li Mo's opinion, Hou Hongliang can be summed up by a simple 'cattle man'.

This is a bull demon king after all.

Although I don't know why Noon Sunshine, which should have been established last year, has no shadow, Li Mo is still very clear about the energy that the troika of Hou Hongliang, Kong Sheng, and Li Xue can create by going hand in hand.

Among these three people, Hou Hongliang chooses projects, grasps scripts, and solves daily affairs; Kong Sheng and Li Xue are full-time filmmakers and apprentices, which is a production model with producers as the center and directors as the core competitiveness. In addition, the team that has worked with them for many years is extremely efficient, so in the previous life, they were able to create many high-quality TV series in just three years, and thus won the praise of "the faΓ§ade of national dramas" for Noon Sunshine.

But the problem now is that if the Iron Triangle represented by Hou Hongliang joins Molong Media, Kong Sheng, and Li Xue, the two directors, are okay to say, it is nothing more than treatment, the power of the studio and the crew, these little things Li Mo can delegate to them, but Hou Hongliang, who has served as the general manager of Dongshan Film and Television Production Co., Ltd., will most likely not be willing to change the team, and he still continues to play the role of an executor.

If he is not seeking greater personal development, why would Hou Hongliang jump out of the box of Dongshan Province?

In this regard, Molong Media may not be able to satisfy him.

Thinking of this, Li Mo's mind gradually cleared up from the ecstasy just now.

It is naturally a good thing to invite the big Buddha, but if your own temple is small and cannot accommodate this Buddha, it will still be empty and happy.

"Brother Zong, as far as I know, Mr. Hou resigned from the position of general manager of Dongshan Provincial Film and Television Production Co., Ltd. last year, and he must have left there for better personal development, why is he still at this stage after a year?"

No matter what time it is, detailed information is an important reference for making a decision, and Li Mo decided to figure this matter out first.

"Xiaomo, you're very well-informed. Zong Shuai glanced at Li Mo in surprise, "I only learned about his resignation from a friend in Dongshan Province before I met with Mr. Hou. ”

After sorting out his thoughts a little, Zong Shuai began to introduce to Li Mo the reason why Hou Hongliang had not landed yet.

It turned out that although Hou Hongliang and others had resigned from the Dongshan Provincial Film and Television Production Center last year (referred to as Shanying when they appeared in the future), whether it was Kong Sheng, Li Xue or Hou Hongliang, the starting point of their careers was indissoluble with Shanying.

In addition, the mountain shadow also takes good care of them, even if they part ways with the mountain shadow because of their pursuit of personal development, the mountain shadow does not have any difficulties or obstacles for them.

Not only are the formalities readily available, but they are also very generous to say that even after they leave, they can still use the resources of the mountain shadow to a certain extent......

The only condition for Shanying is to hope that Hou Hongliang and others can continue to complete the filming and production of "Parents' Love" and "Battle of Changsha" after they leave their posts.

Faced with the green light of the old club, Hou Hongliang and others, who felt ashamed, finally found an opportunity to repay something, and naturally did their best.

As a result, since the filming of "Parents Love" in February this year, Hou Hongliang and others have devoted themselves to these two TV series.

No, "Parents' Love" has just completed post-production for less than two months, and Hou Hongliang and others started the filming of "Battle of Changsha" again this month.

For a whole year, several of them were basically in the crew, and even the communication and negotiation with them were all filmed by Zong Shuai himself.

In this case, let alone the midday sun, I haven't even seen the shadow of the morning glow.

In addition, the two dramas "Parents' Love" and "Battle of Changsha" are both invested by Shanying Group, and the resignation of Hou Hongliang and others has not been hyped up, if it weren't for Zong Shuai's friends in Dongshan Province who inadvertently talked about it, I'm afraid even he wouldn't have thought that the general manager of the film and television production center, who had just been in office for more than two years, would have quietly resigned.

"I see...... Li Mo touched his chin and began to mutter, "According to this, maybe things won't be so bad......"

Although Zong Shuai didn't hear what Li Mo was talking about clearly, the word 'bad' still clearly entered his ears, "Xiaomo, what are you talking about?"

"Brother Zong, Mr. Hou's ability is indeed nothing to say, you have worked hard in this matter. Li Mo first put on a high hat for Zong Shuai, and then changed the conversation, "It's just that I have a few questions that I'm a little unsure, how about you help me with my staff?"

In the next hour or so, Li Mo told Zong Shuai in detail about his ideas for Molong's TV drama sector and his worries about recruiting Hou Hongliang.

"It turns out that Xiaomo, this is what you're worried about. After listening to Li Mo's words, Zong Shuai's reaction was obviously smaller than expected, "Mr. Hou is indeed ambitious and wants to leave Shanying to create his own world, but don't forget, what we need is to cooperate with him, but it doesn't have to be him to join Molong." ”

"In the TV drama sector, just like Xiaomo said, we Molong are novices and have no foundation, but we are willing to delegate power, we have the copyright of the script, and the funds are abundant, and Mr. Hou has a director, a team, and experience, but what they lack now is funds and film and television themes, so I think it can take the form of cooperating with fiber optic media variety shows. ”

"You mean, we contribute funds, IP copyrights, main actors, they contribute to the team, directors, and everyone co-produces?"

Speaking of which, Li Mo also woke up a little.

"Yes, it was a win-win for both of us in the early days, they made a name for the production team, we got the work, and maybe we could even make our company actors popular by the way. ”

"That's okay, just follow this line of thinking, Brother Zong, you continue to contact Mr. Hou, if they agree, we will do so. ”
