Chapter 352: Will Mai Xiaoyu suffer?
Mr. Luo's gaffe comes from the loss of control over the rhythm of the conversation. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The qualified superiors are all masters of rhythm control. From the moment Mai Xiaoyu stepped into Howard Johnson Celebrity, he was trying to control the rhythm of tonight, paving the way for the final shareholding of the cute people.
First, with the help of EVA and Li Hui's mouth, he knocked on Mai Xiaoyu and asked him to wait for him to soak in the hot spring; then asked eva**** to test Mai Xiaoyu's human weaknesses; Then he used the admission ticket of the upper class as a bait and threw the big cake of listing.
It's a pity that they were all used by Mai Xiaoyu to play the cards in the kind of hooligan way that does not follow the routine, and it was easy to resolve it with elimination.
Not to mention, in the end, Mai Xiaoyu pretended to be generous and threw out a bunch of "leftovers and cold burning......
In Mr. Luo's eyes, film and television dramas with an investment of less than 10 million yuan are just leftovers. Only blockbusters like "No Thieves in the World", which invests tens of millions of big casts to join, can enter his eyes.
Having said that, if Mai Xiaoyu hadn't judged that the film and television drama he was preparing now would not have aroused the interest of Comrade Lao Luo, he would not have pretended to say it generously, and actively invited him to jointly invest.
To put it bluntly, although he rejected Comrade Lao Luo's temptation, he recognized Comrade Lao Luo as a trading partner.
At least, Comrade Lao Luo can find Wang Yidong who is hiding and make him commit suicide, and he can also ensure that Mengren is listed and other secret abilities, which are not possessed by entertainment companies that have had cooperative relations with Mengren such as Hailian Cinemas, Tiandi Film and Television, Starlight Records, and Yingyi Entertainment.
This ability can play a huge role when dealing with some things that are inconvenient to expose.
And he has always wanted to overturn the case for his brother Dong Ping, clear the charge of negligent injury, and fight for a name of righteousness and bravery, in order to comfort Dong Ping and Song Ma's soul in the sky. Comrade Lao Luo is the most suitable person among the people he has come into contact with at present.
It's just that the time is not yet ripe.
Today's Comrade Lao Luo, like the earliest Shi Hao, only sees the cute person as a hen that can lay golden eggs. And what Mai Xiaoyu wants is equality, the two sides are on an equal footing, equal in dialogue, and equal in cooperation, just like the relationship between Mai Xiaoyu and Shi Hao, director of the investment department of Tiandi Film and Television.
Tonight's meeting broke up unhappily, and the next morning, Li Hui came to Mengren as promised.
Holding the script of "Full House of Romance", Li Hui was not in a hurry to read it, and asked: "You were not afraid to offend my cousin last night, so you were not afraid of offending my cousin?" ”
"When you go out, you don't want to be angry. And since you're here today, it means that Luo is always a gentleman. ”
"You scolded him for being a female cousin, haha!" Li Hui smiled and shook his head, "Young and vigorous, it will be easy to suffer in the future." ”
Mai Xiaoyu didn't care, Li Hui didn't say more, and began to look through the script outline, character biographies, and the first three episodes of the script of "Full House of Romance".
"Full House of Romance" is a love idol drama, and Li Hui soon discovered that it is full of elements of a variety of Korean idol dramas. Thinking about it, it is adapted from the Korean novel of the same name, and he is relieved.
Based on the Korean novel of the same name?
Li Hui thought for a while: "After this drama is filmed, you won't plan to export it to South Korea, right?" ”
"It's not just South Korea. If the broadcast effect is gratifying, it may be expected to replicate the glory of "Huanzhu Gege". ”
How popular "Huanzhu Gege" was back then, Li Hui, an old driver, couldn't be clearer, it swept half of Asia, East Asia, and Southeast Asia were simply popular.
Although the TV industry is currently developing rapidly, there are more and more excellent TV series, as long as it can reach half of the popularity of "Huanzhu Gege...... Maybe he is expected to become the godfather of the next idol drama!
Fame, fortune, and the little fresh meat of idol dramas......
Quickly signed the director's contract, and Li Hui took the script back to read it carefully. Before leaving, Mai Xiaoyu specially told him to go to the post-production company together three days later to watch the post-production effect of "Fairy Sword".
"Fairy Sword" brought together half of the cute artists and poured a lot of effort into Mai Xiaoyu. Therefore, the post-production of "Fairy Sword" is the focus of Mengren's current work.
Unlike "There Are No Thieves in the World", Mai Xiaoyu has long become a shopkeeper.
"No Thieves in the World" has long been completed, and Feng Dagang is very serious and responsible in post-production for the sake of his own brand as a big director, even if he thinks that there are loopholes in the script. Hailian Cinemas has launched the film promotion work as scheduled, and if the content review goes smoothly and the "birth permit" of the Dragon Mark is normally obtained, it should be arranged to be released in the Chinese New Year next year.
At noon, I had dinner with Liu Xiaoli, and by the way, I summarized the company's operation this year and next year's development plan.
There are no works of cute people this year, "Fairy Sword" will be broadcast early next year, and "No Thieves in the World" will be released next year. However, Moe Man still made a lot of money this year.
"Old Boy" brought more than 20 million box office shares to Mengren, and the box office was not as good as "My Sassy Girlfriend", but the prospects for awards were gratifying.
At present, IHQ has applied for many film awards for "Oldboy", and in addition to the three major domestic film awards, it has been nominated for the 16th European Film Awards Globe Screen Award; This gives them confidence in next year's Cannes Film Festival and the Hong Kong Film Awards.
At international film festivals and film festivals, as long as you can get a nomination, you are expected to sell it at a good price overseas.
Most of the investment in "No Thieves in the World" has been recouped through advertising sponsorship, and the remaining advertising balance will be settled when the film is released.
"Fairy Sword" is a pure expenditure, and only a deposit was taken. You can't wait until the post-production is completed and delivered to the TV station before you can receive the down payment from the TV station, and the final payment ...... The industry rules are to pay in monthly installments, and you have to wait.
In terms of artists, Chopsticks Brothers' various salaries, appearance fees, and single sales are the majority of their income.
"Gangnam Style" plus horse dance, "Billiejean" plus space step, the profits created through the two singles have exceeded the profits created by the sales of the first and second rounds of broadcast rights of "Fairy Sword".
There are also Liu Tao's TV series salaries, advertising salaries, commercial activity appearance fees, etc., and Hu Tangyan's endorsement fees for Yake are all contributing to the source of income for Mengren Film and Television.
As for Sissi, Yang Mi, and Wang Baoqiang...... It is still losing money.
According to Liu Xiaoli's preliminary estimate, on the whole, Mengren's book profit this year exceeded 50 million, and the actual account received was less than 30 million.
The company is operating normally, with good revenue, sufficient cash flow and a thriving business.
Liu Xiaoli began to consider changing the company's address again, because with the improvement of Mengren's various departments and the formation of Huang Bo and Deng Chao's teams, the number of employees in the company increased, and Mengren's existing office space was a little smaller.
"Aunt Liu, you are affected, you are all responsible for the management of the company, if you have any questions, you can find me." The company's formal management is Mai Xiaoyu's shortcoming, he is used to being the shopkeeper, and he is too lazy to worry so much, "In the afternoon, I will go to the Confused Hotel to see how Lao Xi and Brother Cha are progressing." ”
After the completion of "No Thieves in the World", executive director Xi Xiaoxing and assistant photographer Zhang Xiaoquan benefited a lot. returned to Mengren and didn't rest for a few days, Mai Xiaoyu threw the script of "Fatal ID" to them as a turnaround for Xiao Xiaoxing.
"Fatal ID" is a low-budget production, and the work of the director, cast, crew, and set is relatively simple, so it will start before "Full House". At present, Xiaoxing and Zhang Xiaoquan are leading the company's employees to organize auditions and casting for members in Yanjing and Shancheng.
This is a thriller drama movie with a killing game as the main content, telling the story of killing and being killed between eleven personalities in the body of a person with a split personality.
The actors' roles are relatively average, not too much. Even if he is the leading actor, the role is not like other movies, which provoke the backbone of the whole drama from beginning to end, so after discussing with big3, it was decided to choose from among the members.
It's been a long time since I've given benefits to members.
Although nominally a benefit for members, the two are very strict with members who come to audition.
The last movie directed by Yu Xiaoxing, because it was not submitted for review and did not get the dragon standard, the harmful movie could not be released in domestic theaters, and Ning Shibin found someone to "beat the water dog" in the media, and he was once known as the "hope of the Chinese director", but he was almost forgotten by the audience.
He desperately hopes to turn around through the play "Fatal ID" and pay tribute to those guys who fell into the well, especially Ning Shibin, a resounding slap in the face.
The members of the cute people have almost no professional backgrounds, but many of them have rich life experience.
Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills.
Everyone in life does not lack acting skills, what is lacking is the heart and ability to show the acting skills in life in front of the camera.
So members who have had experience in filming movies before, it is easy to pass this time.
Dong Xiaojuan and Enchanting Brother in "I Believe", Wang Xun, Gou Yunhao, Luo Xue in "Crazy Stone", and Shen Fei, a Chinese opera performance student who has mixed with Yan Piao and is a sophomore this year, all successfully passed the audition.
Wang Chuhan, who is famous, also agreed to make a cameo appearance in the role of the first out-of-fashion female star to be killed among the eleven personalities in the play.
After listening to the narration of Xi Xiaoxing and Zhang Xiaoquan, Mai Xiaoyu nodded: "It's seven, it seems that the progress is going well." ”
Xi Xiaoxing held a cigarette and shook his head with a bitter face: "No, boss, there are two candidates who have a headache." ”
One is the driver and bodyguard of an outdated female star, the personality of a former policeman, the righteous personality of the eleven personalities, and the male protagonist in the movie. This role not only needs an image, but also has high requirements for acting skills.
There is also a real murderer, the most cruel child personality. Due to the "disease" of the lambs in the previous pen, there were no children among the members.
"Isn't there a little boy named Deer?"
"He's thirteen years old, and he's grown up......"
"Rub, why are you doing so fast?" Mai Xiaoyu sighed, "If it doesn't work, let the members recommend it, there should be a lot of members who hope that their children will become child stars." ”
"What about the male protagonist?"
Mai Xiaoyu first went through the male artists of the company in his mind, and then said: "Have you run the group of actors recently?" ”
Absolutely!
In Yanjing, the hotels where the crew stayed during the preparation period were relatively concentrated, such as What Yingqiao Guest House, Mutu Hotel, Sun Palace Hotel, Bayi Factory Huafu Guest House, etc., are all places where the crew likes to stay together, and it is also convenient for the actors to run the group.
Although the crew of "Fatal ID" did not say that they auditioned for actors, they couldn't resist the army of actors who were almost unknown. For the opportunity to be on the play, every crew will not miss it.
Yu Xiaoxing has screened out a few male actors from the group photos sent by these running group actors.
Mai Xiaoyu casually took a stack of group photos and looked at the photos and filming experience on them carefully. When he turned to the third copy, his eyes lit up: "Inform him that he will audition for the crew tomorrow." ”
"Boss, won't you take a look at the back?"
"There's no need. If his acting skills pass, it's him. ”
"Fish, do you know each other?"
"I don't know."
"So you're so sure?"
"I feel it." Mai Xiaoyu grinned, "Just like when I met the two of you, I felt that you two would definitely become great directors and famous photographers." ”
Yu Xiaoxing protested: "Are you trapping us!" ”
Zhang Xiaoquan also squeezed and said, "It's good to save your feelings until the evening." ”
"Damn, you two say that again, the boat of friendship can easily capsize!"
Knowing the progress of the crew's preparations, and having a few farts with the two friends, at five o'clock in the afternoon, Mai Xiaoyu hurriedly left the confused hotel. He had something to do at night.
After sending him away, Xi Xiaoxing slammed his mouth and asked Zhang Xiaoquan: "Brother fork, do you think that Ning Shibin's bastard will make another obstruction?" ”
"The fish coped with it. And I think every time the fish waits for that fork to spoil, because in the end it's us who are cheaper, hehe. ”
"That's right, enemy pig teammates." Xi Xiaoxing nodded, and suddenly thought of something, "Review that piece, the boss can also settle it?" ”
"It should be, the fish doesn't seem to have suffered a loss......
When the two muttered, Mai Xiaoyu had already come to the parking lot.
As soon as he opened the car door, a slender and slender girl suddenly appeared in front of him, and greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Mai! ”
"Shen Fei? Why are you here? ”
Shen Fei received a call from the crew yesterday, telling her that she had passed the audition and came to the crew to sign the contract today.
After signing the contract, I said hello to the director team, and when I was about to leave, I accidentally saw Mai Xiaoyu coming to the hotel in a daze, and she was not in a hurry to leave.
After the filming of "Fairy Sword", she returned to Yanjing to sign a membership contract with Mengren, became a Mengren member, and joined the Yanjing member group.
It didn't take long for Moe to post an audition notice for the movie "Fatal ID" in the member group. made it clear that all the actors in the movie will be selected mainly from members, and she also successfully auditioned for the role.
Although she plays a young lady who is in the skin and meat business, and the salary is not more than 10,000 yuan, she is the heroine!
This big thick leg must be firmly grasped!
Shen Fei made a decision, so he would not miss this opportunity to get close to Mai Xiaoyu, and deliberately waited in the parking lot.
Although she can't use her beauty to become Mai Xiaoyu's thigh pendant, she has an advantage - she is a classmate and roommate with Tangyan.
"I just signed a contract with the crew today, thank you for giving me the opportunity. Xiao Yan'er and I would like to treat you to a meal, please enjoy it. ”
"You and Tang Yan invited me to dinner?" Mai Xiaoyu looked at his watch, "Okay, I can spare an hour." (To be continued.) )
