Chapter 270: Xiao He Dialogue
Looking at Xiao Fang's stunned expression, He Mu said his true thoughts, "Actually, I thought about it before I came back, and now I always have a feeling that I can't do it when I shoot TV series, and this kind of sign has actually appeared when I filmed "A Good Man in the Tang Dynasty". Love, I think no matter how good the shooting is, it's just a ratings champion, but it's already over, so the interest is a little diluted, and there are fewer TV series to watch, I always feel that the plot is not compact enough, I think the TV series is a little unsuitable for me, so I want to develop in movies. ”
"But after all, the company is not good at movies, and the previous "Flight Attendant" also saw that investing in movies is still very risky for the tiger wolf at this stage, so this time I decided to invest in the movie "Supermarket" by myself, I am an investor, and the tiger wolf does not invest, only as the producer and distributor, so the film department should not be cut, those people are still useful, when the film loses money, my investment will fail, and the profit will be distributed by me and the tiger wolf according to the market situation, I am very optimistic about this project, When the time comes, don't say that I take advantage of the tiger wolf. He Mu said with a smile, He Mu thought about this idea on the way back, but he had been wavering, and now Xiao Fang's decision to lay off employees made him determined.
"No, it's absolutely not going to work!" Xiao Fang ignored the possibility of making a profit, but thought that if the movie was lost, then He Mu would be equivalent to throwing the money into the water, which was simply trapping him as an elder brother.
"If you still don't think it's okay, then I'll find another company with the funds." He Mu said half jokingly and half seriously.
"That's not what I meant, I mean. I mean, if you're very optimistic about it, you can also be invested by Tiger Wolf, and the little money you make can afford a movie. ”
Xiao Fang has a good understanding of He Mu's income, and Tiandi Media has not been popular so far. So he, a shareholder, didn't get a dime from Li Fatzi, He Mu got all his income from being a star, and his previous savings were basically used to buy villas and decoration, although he has signed a valuable endorsement contract with Suning Electric and FAW-Volkswagen, but the advertisement has not yet started, and only a small part of the endorsement fee has been paid, plus the salary of "Tang Nan" has some scattered income. It's good to have a deposit of three million, which is the result of winning the actor in Montreal, and the revenue share of He Mu and Tiger Wolf's brokerage agreement has risen to 75%. With his net worth, he still wants to toss movies, which is almost impossible.
"Hey, why can't I afford a movie?" He Mu said stubbornly.
"I don't mean to look down on you."
"I know you don't look down on me. You just can't afford this script too much. He Mu smiled, "If you had read the script carefully, you should know that this movie almost does not cost anything, if I appear in this play, I am afraid that my salary will be the biggest expense, basically after filming this movie, I can get it for three or two million." ”
"A movie with a cost of three or two million," Xiao Fang snorted, "Do you think that a small-budget movie can achieve a double success at the box office like "Crazy Stone"." In the two years since "Stone", have you seen a second example? The reality is very cruel, the real situation is that the smaller the cost, the fewer highlights, the less attractive it is to the audience, and the fewer the theater schedules, maybe the cost of three million will not be recovered. ”
Xiao Fang also did a certain amount of research and understanding of the mainland market before Tiger Wolf created the film department, and he knew that the success rate of small costs was not so high, so the company's first "Flight Attendant" was a sophisticated production with tens of millions of investments, the male and female protagonists were all popular Xiaosheng Xiaodan, and the shooting venues were the most prosperous and romantic places in the magic capital, and there were many big-name stars who made non-affectionate cameos.
"Look at it, you still don't trust my vision, so let me invest it myself, it's a cooperation between me and Tiger Wolf." He Mu stubbornly said, he knew that if Xiao Fang really agreed to the filming plan of "Supermarket", he would encounter certain obstacles in the company, although it was not enough to affect the transmission of his orders, but it would inevitably affect his relationship with those company veterans, this is not what He Mu wants to see, and it may be the best way to be responsible for the capital part by himself.
"You make me think again." Xiao Fang leaned back on the couch and looked at the ceiling.
He Mu glanced at his watch, it was not too late, Xiangxiang, who began to yawn, was sent into the room to sleep by Sister Hao Hui, He Mu felt that it was time to go, "You think about my proposal again, I'll go back and wait for your news." ”
After He Mu left, Hao Hui came out of her daughter's room and sat next to Xiao Fang, "Still thinking about that question?" ”
Xiao Fang hugged his wife and said with some melancholy, "Film investment is actually just a trivial matter, even if you lose millions every year, it doesn't matter, your husband has money now, and he can't spend it at all, and TV series earn tens of millions every year, I just think Xiao Mu is too eager to do things, and I'm more worried that our friendship will be affected because of this incident." ”
Hao Hui understands Xiao Fang's psychology very well, don't look at her as a strong woman, she doesn't seem to take care of her family, in fact, every night they will say some heart-to-heart words, Hao Hui not only cares about her husband very much, but also knows her very well, as early as high school she secretly liked this handsome and outgoing boy, this secret love is the deepest secret in her heart, she has never said it to anyone, including Xiao Fang, after Xiao Fang recovered, he thought that it took a lot of effort to catch up with Hao Hui, the police flower at that time, in fact, she was at his fingertips, It's just that I haven't paid attention to this girl before.
Because of Hao Hui's special feelings for Xiao Fang, he has been paying attention to him since high school, and he knows him even more than Xiao Fang himself, this is a person who seems cynical and heartless, but in fact he is very emotional, he has no ambitions, and he has no ambitions, and the achievements of Tiger Wolf Film and Television created by him have made him shout "God doesn't have long eyes, he actually made me happen!" He is considerate of his wife, cares for his daughter, respects the elderly, takes care of his friends, trusts his subordinates, and is a near-perfect man in Hao Hui's eyes.
But now his best friend He Mu and his closest subordinate Zong Lei have a difference in principle, which makes him in a dilemma. He once said that if there was no Zong Lei, I am afraid that the tiger and wolf would have closed down in the first two years of its establishment, and he also said that if He Mu was not pulled into the company, the company would not have developed to the current scale, He Mu is not only the company's acting brother, a pillar of optimism, but also provides the company with many excellent ideas and ideas, and is a young man with a lot of ideas.
Now Xiao Fang is very embarrassed, if he makes a movie, Zong Lei will definitely have a mustard in his heart, if he doesn't shoot, he feels sorry for He Mu, because he promised and has the obligation to put He Mu on a higher artistic platform, and the movie is the higher platform that He Mu pursues.
Xiao Fang said to his wife about the depression in his heart, in fact, he didn't have to say that Hao Hui also knew the Tao, she understood him, "I know that you cherish your friendship with Xiao Mu, and I hope that the two of you can always work together and be partners and good brothers for life, but do you think it's possible, do you remember what He Zao said about his younger brother before?" ”
"He Zao?" Xiao Fang recalled the words of this old comrade-in-arms, "He said that Xiao Mu lacks perseverance, everything is three minutes of heat, he practiced martial arts when he was a child and later learned to paint, nothing is persistent, although he has learned everything, but he has not been able to practice to be exquisite." This is very in line with Xiao Mu's character, now he is no longer interested in TV series, I remember that he was very excited when he first asked him to shoot "Young Yang Jiajiang". ”
"Also, He Zao didn't just say this."
He also said that in fact, Xiao Mu just didn't encounter something that really attracted his interest, and if he did, maybe he would become the first in that field. I hope that the movie is the one that really attracts him, otherwise I'm afraid he will want to do something else after a few years of filming. Xiao Fang shook his head.
Hao Hui also shook her head, "It's not like this, that time you drank, what did he say the most, do you remember?" ”
"The last," Xiao Fang thought for a while, "he said that Xiao Mu doesn't like to be tied up the most, he doesn't like to be at the mercy of others, he advocates freedom, and he likes to make his own decisions about everything." Is this the sentence? ”
Hao Hui nodded.
"But what does that mean?"
Hao Hui woke up Xiao Fang with a word: "It shows that no matter what you do now, no matter how you remedy it, one day Xiao Mu will leave you and leave the tiger wolf, even if you give him the maximum freedom, in his opinion, it is a kind of bondage, but others are tied up by five flowers, and he is led by you with a string, just like a kite, you can fly high and fly far, but you must not exceed the limit of the line, if it is really a kite, it doesn't matter, but Xiao Mu is it?" No, he is a very ambitious eagle with a lot of strength, do you think he can be tied by a thread? ”
"So what?" Xiao Fang's face changed a few times, and his fingers kept subconsciously tapping on the coffee table, as if he was bearing a great psychological burden.
Hao Hui took Xiao Fang into his arms, stroked his head and said: "I think the smart way is to cut the kite string yourself, let him fly, let him break through, otherwise one day, he will find a way to tear off the string by himself, and at that time, I am afraid that the relationship between the two will also be hurt, and the line that originally maintained the relationship will really become a hurtful chain." ”
Then Xiao Fang was silent for a long time, and after the last moment, he crawled out of Hao Hui's arms and kissed her: "You are really my good wife!" ”
The next day, Xiao Fang held a high-level meeting in the company, Zong Lei, He Mu and others attended, at which Xiao Fang first read out an appointment, appointing He Mu as the head of the newly established film department, responsible for the company's new film related work.
Zong Lei listened eagerly and said: "Mr. Xiao, the company has another movie plan?" ”
