Chapter 126: Schedule!
I remember that Mr. Lu Xun once said: Tragedy is to destroy the valuable things in life to show people, and comedy is to tear the worthless things to show people. Speaking of this, Li Mu paused: "But, what is worthless is really worthless? No, I think the worthlessness in this sentence actually just means that it has nothing to do with the audience, because it has no relationship, so you can laugh unscrupulously!"
"I didn't expect this kid to understand so thoroughly at such a young age?" Feng Dao couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Cheng didn't understand very well, so he listened to Director Feng explain: "You think, the first thing to attract the audience in a tragedy is to let the audience have a sense of substitution, so that people can experience his bitterness, and then they will have an empathetic experience! Comedy is different, because the story is often very absurd, which will make you subconsciously think that these things can't happen to you, so when they are embarrassed, they can make you laugh, but in fact, reality is often more absurd than comedy, this is the real tragedy!" After listening to Director Feng's explanation, Lu Cheng was stunned, there is still such a statement?
The most important thing is that Li Mu's views coincide with this great director with clear brain circuits, and there is also a fight.
Li Mu's words couldn't help but make the college students who came to the award ceremony ponder, is the comedy they have always used as a joke really so unbearable?
Li Mu said again: "What about comedians? In my opinion, comedians just tear themselves apart and show them bloody!" I remember that Xing Ye once laughed at himself: I have acted in a lifetime of tragedy, but you call me the king of comedy........... Speaking of which, some perennial comedy actors in the audience couldn't help but burst into tears, yes, comedians are the lowest in the circle, more than many
The "Harlequin" has to go down, people have been staying up for a long time, and the newcomer has to call a teacher, but what about the comedian?
Even if you don't get an award at the box office, you won't be recognized by the industry, let alone the society.
Before, they didn't have a channel to speak out, but now that someone finally spoke for them, their favorability towards Li Mu suddenly skyrocketed!
Guo Tao looked at the camera and looked at him the most, and his facial expressions clearly appeared on the big screen on the main stage and couldn't help but smile bitterly, in fact, he is not a pure comedian, he has also acted in a lot of dramas, how do you say this............ Of course, Guo Tao is still very grateful to Li Mu, and he is the winner of the best screenwriter and the boss, so he can be one
When Li Mu walked off the stage, all the comedians began to give a standing ovation, and then the audience also began to stand up and applaud, and then the audience burst into applause, which was an honor that had never appeared in this year's awards ceremony.
Li Mu bowed slightly to greet everyone, modest and graceful, all the way back to his position!
The next awards ceremony was a little dull, and Liang Hongfei won the award for best director.
Standing on the stage, his eyes were slightly red: "Thank you for affirming me, here, if you want to thank someone, it must be my boss and screenwriter, in fact, the script I originally wrote for this play is a tragic ............"
"Huh, won't it?" The audience even doubted their ears a little, such a funny film was actually changed by a tragedy?
No wonder Li Mu said that before!
"Actually, I wanted to be a director when I was very young, and then I finally went to film and television school, but I didn't do very well in the exam at that time, and many people questioned that I came in through the back door. Liang Hongfei scratched the tip of his nose.
"Haha~~~"
"Just the year I was about to graduate, I found my current boss with the script, at that time, I thought he was a rich second generation, and then he talked nonsense, but he said that he wanted to invest in me, I thought, am I fooling him?"
Liang Hongfei raised the trophy and shook it a few times in the air: "Thank you for giving a fool a chance........... The organizer's face smiled crookedly, first Li Mu and then Liang Hongfei, one of these two is a college student, and the other is a college student who has just graduated, which is really too long for the college student film festival.
And the most important thing is that they won the award completely on their own strength, and the organizers did not make small moves behind their backs to withstand any media scrutiny!
The applause set off a climax again, and Liang Hongfei's deeds are also quite inspirational, which is a shot in the arm for many college students who are about to enter the society.
At this year's College Student Film Festival, Li Mu and Liang Hongfei almost stole the limelight from everyone, and the most popular actors and actresses were not enough to watch.
Almost all the media stared at the two of them to report, and the others couldn't interject after spending money, so they called
Since the small workshop of "Muzi Studio" caused a storm in the music world, it has successfully set off a small splash on the big river in the film and television industry!
With the various media outlets
"Full support",
The exposure rate of "Crazy Stone" has surged, and some mainstream media have also begun to invite the main creators, among which Li Mu is naturally the most popular, Liang Hongfei is second, and Guo Tao and Liu Hua are still unpopular.
The show is naturally going to be on the show, but before that, Li Mu still needs to have a negotiation with Huayi, after all, to go on the show for publicity, at least it has to be finalized, right?
Without an accurate release schedule, what is the point of publicity? Li Mu, Liang Hongfei, Shi Ran, plus a legal counsel is the lineup of the negotiation team.
"Mr. Li, welcome, hard work, do you want to come to the lounge first........... "Lu Cheng said with a kind face.
Li Mu waved his hand: "No need, let's start, time is precious!"
"Alright, please come with me. Lu Cheng also accepted it calmly. When I arrived at the conference room, I found that there were seven or eight men and women with good aura in a row.
"Come, let me introduce to you, this is the ........... of our Huayi Cinema Line"
"This is the ............ of the Ministry of Justice" Shi Ran secretly said to Li Mu: "These people have been premeditated, this level is not easy!"
"It's not good, it's going to be over!" Li Mu sneered, there was no father and son at the negotiation table, and he didn't plan to leave any face!
"Mr. Li, should we confirm the release time first?" Lu Cheng didn't play according to the routine at the first time.
Shi Ran was a little inexplicable in his heart, shouldn't he talk about proportional sharing first?
"Okay, then set the file first!" Li Mu did not refuse, a good schedule is a guarantee of high box office, and he was really afraid that Huayi would make a garbage schedule to perfunctory him.
"Mr. Li, this time we are full of sincerity, the original Niu Dao's [Irrelevant Fengyue] schedule is June 10th, what do you think of this schedule?" Lu Chengxin swore solemnly.
Shi Ran scoffed, the withdrawal is certain, but it will definitely not make way for them, Niu Dao's film is invested by Huayi, it is considered a son, how can it be possible to give them a godson like this?
Liang Hongfei frowned and said: "I remember that Director Jiang's [Old Demon Capital Strange Case], which took three years to invest 500 million, suddenly announced that it would be raised to June 7th, right?" The truth was revealed, Lu Cheng pinched the bridge of his nose slightly embarrassed: "I didn't expect Director Liang's news to be really well-informed, but this schedule is definitely the best schedule in Huayi at present, it depends on whether you dare to bet!" Li Mu asked Liang Hongfei quietly: "Are there other big productions of famous directors in the same schedule?" Liang Hongfei shook his head.
Li Mu also had a bottom in his heart: "We can accept this schedule!"
"Okay, sure enough, it's a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers!
"Then let's talk about the sharing ratio, right?" Li Mu and Shi Ran glanced at each other, no longer speaking, and had an expression that was willing to hear the details.
"In fact, compared to sharing, we still have a model, I don't know if Mr. Li is interested?" Lu Cheng said.
Li Mu made a gesture of please, and looked at him with a calm gaze. Lu Cheng's momentum was discharged, it felt like a punch in the cotton, he couldn't use his strength, not to mention that he was uncomfortable, he couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart, and secretly reminded himself not to be deceived by this guy's age.
On the other side, this is also a thousand-year-old fox!
"Another model is guaranteed issuance!" Seeing the poor dagger, Li Mu sneered in his heart, but he didn't show his expression on the surface: "Oh? I don't know how much guarantee your company is going to give to the crazy stone, 500 million, or 1 billion?" The members of the negotiation team present immediately couldn't sit still, Lu Cheng almost couldn't hold back a mouthful of old blood and sprayed Li Mu to death, good guy, I've seen shameless, I've never seen such a shameless one, and it's 500 million billion?
Do you think you are Zhang Guoshi? Even Zhang Guoshi doesn't have such a high reserve price! However, as soon as Li Mu said this, he completely blocked Lu Cheng's psychological price of 100 million, and couldn't help but say with a little embarrassment: "Then let's talk about sharing!"
"Mr. Li should also have understood our Huayi's sharing model, as a theater + distributor, we want to account for seventy percent of the box office. Li Mu almost didn't lift the table, it didn't seem to be a pit, after all, there were still thirty percent left for the producer, but it wasn't actually like that!
The box office of a movie has to pay taxes, and a drama accounts for 10% of the box office, that is to say, the actual box office is only 90% in the hands of the producer, theater chain, and distributor!
Li Mu sneered: "That's not how the account is calculated, right? We invested so much publicity money in the early stage, and won two awards at the college student film festival, so it stands to reason that the distributor is us, right? According to the usual practice, as a theater party, I have no opinion on taking forty percent!" Lu Cheng almost didn't slow down: "Mr. Li, the distribution is not just online publicity, right? subway entrances, billboards, bus mobile TV, Including the theater's push, these are the bulk of the distribution!" Of course, Li Mu knew the importance of these publicity positions, otherwise he would not have exchanged a song for the opportunity to cooperate with Huayi, but on the surface, he pretended to be difficult: "But the publicity cost on our side is also very large, why don't we release it together, all the costs will be shared equally, and then the distribution will be shared, how about an equal share?"
