Chapter 289 Victory over Chen Tianqiao
On October 26th, at the Hanhua International Hotel, Li Mu met Chen Hongye again, and his brother, Chen Tianqiao, chairman of Shengda Group, and several historical gods of Shengda Literature were also present.
To be honest, compared to Li Mu, Chen Tianqiao is a real self-made man, and Chen Tianqiao, who was twenty-six years old in 99, founded Shengda Network.
In 01, Shengda became the online game operator with the largest number of simultaneous online users in the world, with nearly 60 million registered users and more than 600,000 simultaneous online users, achieving an average monthly sales of tens of millions of yuan, and a market share of more than 65% in China.
In 02, in the fourth year of its founding, the annual turnover of Shengda reached 680 million, and the net profit exceeded 100 million, and he became a billionaire at the age of less than 30.
In 04, Shengda Network was listed on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange, with a market value of 6.5 billion yuan, and Chen Tianqiao himself was worth more than 5 billion.
This year, on the latest updated China Forbes rich list, Chen Tianqiao ranked 109th with a net worth of 7.1 billion.
In the eleven years of entrepreneurship, he has accumulated a wealth of seven billion, and the key is that he does not have any prominent background, which makes people have to admire.
The purpose of his coming to find himself is similar to what Li Mu guessed, in fact, he can see it from Li Mu when he enters the door, after all, there are Jimo Swordsman, Yue Guan, Gengxin and other historical god authors sitting inside, and it would be strange if Li Mu still couldn't guess that he was for a Three Kingdoms-themed movie.
Sure enough, Chen Tianqiao invited Li Mu to cooperate with a Three Kingdoms movie, and he also wanted to ask Li Mu to direct it himself.
However, Li Mu has been doing too much recently, "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" and "Zhao Zilong" have been released one after another, and he is still preparing to shoot "The Blade of the Country", how can he have time to help others make movies.
However, Li Mu also came with a purpose this time, and it was not good to refuse people directly, so he immediately said, "Dong Chen, I really don't have time for you to know during this time, but the matter of cooperation is still possible, your company has so many excellent historical and military authors, and it will be better than the script written!"
Hearing Li Mu's refusal, Chen Tianqiao was a little disappointed, and the reason why he asked his younger brother Chen Hongye to come forward to invite Li Mu over was to hope that the opportunity would be greater.
However, Li Mu's agreement to cooperate is also a surprise, the film and television dramas made by their company have not lost money, and if the two sides invest together, they will do their best to make the movie well, after all, Shengda Film and Television is just a newly established company, and has no experience in producing film and television dramas.
"Since Mr. Li is willing to cooperate, then the script will be handed over to Mr. Li, after all, Mr. Li's production must be a high-quality product has become a consensus in the circle!" Chen Tianqiao said with a smile.
Li Mu asked, "I don't know what kind of movie Chen Dong plans to make?"
Hearing Li Mu ask about this, Chen Tianqiao smiled bitterly, "Guan Yunchang was preemptively registered by Huayi, and familiar characters such as Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu have also been filed by major companies, I want to make a movie about Lu Bu, although he has a bad reputation, after all, he is also the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms, and the audience knows a little about it!"
Hearing Chen Tianqiao say this, Li Mu was still a little curious, why did these people move so fast, the Journey to the West movie that had been filed before had not been filmed, and now they are ready to shoot the Three Kingdoms again.
However, these have nothing to do with Li Mu, except for "Zhao Zilong", he does not plan to shoot anything else, and the sequels are planned to be handed over to Lin Feng to shoot.
However, if the protagonist is Lu Bu, it will be a bit difficult to do, after all, Lu Bu's image has been fixed in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the reliance on him in "Three Kingdoms" is also negative.
"Lu Bu has the courage of a tiger, but has no heroic strategy, is cunning and repeated, and is mercenary. From ancient times to the present, there has never been such a thing as not to be destroyed. The former Han Dynasty was in Pang Meng, and the Taizu of the near Wei Dynasty was also hidden in Zhang Miao. Knowing people is philosopherical, only the emperor is difficult, and believing it!" This is Chen Shou's evaluation of Lu Bu in "Three Kingdoms".
This evaluation can't be worse, and in two sentences, Lu Bu is not trustworthy and mercenary. And the ambition is big and talented.
It's too difficult to portray such a villain template character as the protagonist, and it's hard for the audience to accept it.
At that moment, Li Mu said his thoughts, and Chen Tianqiao also expressed his understanding, "We also took into account Mr. Li's concerns, and after discussion with several of our writers, we decided to shoot the story of Lu Bu in Bingzhou like "Zhao Zilong"!"
Li Mu nodded, in fact, Lu Bu is not without merit, at least he has made foreigners frightened for a few years in Bingzhou, and the people of the tiger can stop children crying at night.
Like Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, in this era of chaos among the princes, the land of China was not invaded by foreigners, thanks to their bloody battles on the frontier, otherwise the chaos of the five lakes under internal and external troubles would have started in advance.
Since people have already thought about it in advance, Li Mu communicated with these great god writers, and sure enough, it is worthy of writing, the brain hole is big, and they have been writing for a few years, and I don't know how many materials they have read, and many allusions and war plots come with their hands.
And Li Mu also knew the general plot, the main line is what happened during the period from Lu Bu joining the army to Ding Yuan receiving He Jin's invitation and leading troops to Luoyang with the intention of killing the eunuchs.
The main thing is mainly war, an encirclement and suppression of the Southern Xiongnu, and the story of Yu Fuluo, the leader of the Southern Xiongnu, and Guo Tailian, the leader of the Baibo Yellow Turban, who broke Taiyuan and Hedong, and stationed troops in Hanoi County.
And the protagonists are naturally Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Ding Yuan and others.
One of the biggest climaxes is the scene where Gao Shun defeated 100,000 white waves and yellow scarves with 800 traps.
With 800 against 100,000, it's exciting to think about that scene, although it's only 100,000 Yellow Turban thieves, and the combat effectiveness is not very high, but the difference in numbers is too obvious.
But Li Mu didn't think it was an exaggeration at all, Zhang Wenyuan's power in the romance was only enough to break Sun Quan's 100,000 army with 800 foot soldiers.
In the original text of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao led 400,000 troops from Hanzhong to rescue Hexi, and Gan Ning only led a hundred cavalry to kill one in and out, and no one was lost.
The outline has been decided, and the rest of the specific plot is a matter for a few writers.
In terms of characters, in addition to these people, Li Mu also suggested adding Diao Chan and setting it as the daughter of an official eunuch who fled to Bingzhou with her parents because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and had a mutual affection for Lu Bu, but later followed her parents to Situ Wang Yun, who was an official in Luoyang.
This classical beauty, known as "Closed Moon", is very suitable for Master Liu, and she is also very suitable for playing a costume beauty.
The word closed moon is said to be because of the sable cicada, once when the sable cicada was worshipping the moon in the back garden, a light wind suddenly blew, and a floating cloud covered the bright moon. At this time, Wang Yun saw that Wang Yun wanted to publicize how beautiful his daughter was, and he said to people, my daughter is more beautiful than the moon, and the moon can't be compared, so he quickly hid behind the clouds, so Diao Chan is also called "closed moon".
In the end, Li Mu proposed to buy the film and television rights of several films, and Chen Tianqiao readily agreed!
