Chapter 190: Be Its Master (1/2)

In the conference room of the tiger wolf, He Mu, accompanied by Datang, met Director Lou Ye for the first time, who had a mixed reputation.

He Mu is still very moved by Director Lou Ye's persistence, which shows that his image in the hearts of directors is not only handsome, stylish and stylish, but his acting skills are also fully recognized.

In order to show respect, He Mu quietly listened to Lou Ye tell the synopsis of the movie again, it turns out that this is not a story between two men, it involves three men, and two women, which is a bit messy, but the story does have a head, like the type that can win awards, Lou Ye hopes that the role played by He Mu is on par with the role of Chen Sicheng in terms of importance, and even He Mu feels that this role occupies a more dominant position in the movie.

He Mu became a little interested in this story called "Spring Breeze Drunken Night", but out of the maintenance of his bottom line, He Mu still seriously asked Lou Ye about the scale of the movie.

"Of course, the more natural the better, and releasing my nature has always been what I pursue in the film, not to be bound by any morality and other people's eyes." Lou Ye said very firmly.

Datang glanced at He Mu next to him, meaning: Don't pick it up, don't take it! As a senior insider, he knows Lou Ye too well, if He Mu agrees to act, I'm afraid that a pair of underwear will not be left for him at that time, even if it will not be released in the mainland, but it will inevitably spread through the Internet, and it will be a very big blow to He Mu's hard-working healthy image at that time, He Mu is not big enough to be afraid of this kind of blow now.

In fact, there is no need for Datang to hint, He Mu will not take this drama. He smiled and politely rejected Lou Ye, "I'm sorry, Director Lou." I'm afraid I can't accept such a scale, I hope you can find the right person. ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity," Lou Ye asked again with a regretful expression, "I wonder if I can meet Mr. Xiao who is a tiger wolf?" I still have a gap of more than one million in this movie, and I want to ask Mr. Xiao if he is interested in investing in it. ”

"How much investment did you make in this movie?"

"More than a million."

"And then there's a million left?"

"Hmm."

He Mu suddenly felt that this was the focus of Lou Ye's visit to Tiger Wolf today. It is estimated that any French funds are fooling, and even whether he sincerely invited him to star in this movie He Mu began to doubt. Although he felt that Lou Ye was a little cheated today, He Mu still told Xiao where he was. "This is Mr. Xiao's office, he should have just come back."

Half an hour later, Lou Yezhi walked out of the general manager's office proudly, and thanked him vigorously when he saw He Mu. And said that there is a chance to cooperate again.

Wait until Lou Ye is out of the tiger wolf. He Mu immediately entered Xiao Fang's office, "Brother Fang, have you really invested in his movies?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Xiao Fang asked rhetorically.

"Don't you know that the movies made by Lou Ye basically don't make money, at most they win an award." He Mu was afraid that Xiao Fang was fooled by Lou Ye.

Xiao Fang said disapprerovingly, "Of course I know that Lou Ye's movies are basically losses, but the investment in this movie is very small, and the tiger wolf made a million." If it's not enough, let him figure it out on his own, he won't even sell it for a million. His films still have a bit of a market overseas, and if they can win the award, it will be a good start for our newly established Tiger Wolf Film Department, even if we lose a little, it is acceptable. ”

He Mu felt that Xiao Fang was a little taken for granted, a small-budget literary film without a big-name star and destined to not be released in the mainland, even if it is only a production scale of one million, it is very difficult to recover the cost, I hope Lou Ye's so-called international reputation can save this movie, otherwise Boss Xiao's hard-earned money is destined to be wasted. He Mu didn't say anything, since Xiao Fang had promised Lou Ye, the matter was basically decided, and he couldn't get in the way, now he was more concerned about the newly established film department in Xiao Fang's mouth, Xiao Fang was finally going to show his strength in the film industry.

According to Xiao Fang, since it is necessary to do it well, do it perfectly, although the film department is a department under the company, but the department also has a production team, a creative group, a distribution team, and a props group.

Film distribution and TV series distribution are completely different, one is to deal with theaters, the other is to deal with TV stations, a film publicity and distribution is a very important link, especially in recent years, the box office performance of the film not only depends on the quality of the film, but also on the publicity of the film and the amount of films, which are the responsibility of the distribution company.

Relatively large companies in China, such as Huayi Brothers, Poly Bona, and New Pictures, they have both production and distribution functions, and in Hollywood, several major film companies are also the same, but mainland film companies are not subject to monopoly law, so they can also open cinemas, and completely open up the links of production, distribution, and screening.

Large companies don't have to worry about the distribution of films, but small film companies can't, they generally don't have distribution capabilities and qualifications, or they don't have distribution rights, even if they have distribution rights, but they are limited to limited popularity and resources, or they don't have too rich experience in publicity, and generally there will be no good effect on the distribution of this link, which will directly affect the box office revenue after the most rear, so it is better to spend some money to let large companies or media companies specializing in film distribution help them distribute movies. A percentage of the box office is then paid to the distribution company as remuneration.

This kind of small company generally only has the ability to produce films, so the development is greatly restricted, and it is necessary to rely on people's breath to survive, Xiao Fang naturally does not want the films he will make in the future to ask his grandfather to tell his grandmother to find another company to distribute, so the company must have its own film distribution channels, at the beginning of the establishment of the film department, he spent a lot of money from several companies such as Guangguang Media, Poly Bona and other companies to dig the wall, and dug up several of their distribution business backbones, in addition to recruiting a group of relevant professionals who are about to graduate from Beiying, formed the strongest distribution team in the film department, and the film version of "Flight Attendant" will be their first test field.

Speaking of the movie version of "Flight Attendant", He Mu asked Xiao Fang how he was prepared.

"It's basically about the same, and it will be ready to turn on next month." Xiao Fang said, his face was a little tired, out of the importance of the company's first movie, he personally ran many links, and the different operation methods from the TV series made him a little unsuitable.

"Who are the actors?" He Mu asked again.

Asked this, Xiao Fang had a smug smile on his face, "Last year's most popular TV series were "Flight Attendant", "Soldier", and "Struggle", and our film combines the story of the drama version of "Flight Attendant" and the actors of "Soldier" and "Struggle", I think it will definitely be a great success." ”

It turned out that the actors and actresses selected by Xiao Fang were Chen Sicheng and Wang Luodan, Chen Sicheng still had more than two months to go before "Spring Breeze Drunken Night", and it was difficult to shoot "The Leader", but it was not a problem to make a small-budget urban emotional movie.

Although Chen Sicheng became popular with "Soldier Assault", in comparison, Wang Luodan, who played the female No. 2 Milai in "Struggle", is more popular, and she is more popular than the female No. 1 in that drama, among the newly rising actresses last year, she and Liu Shishi are the most popular, Shishi is low-key, and her dedication is not strong, unlike Wang Luodan, who has many topics, and frequently appears in big newspapers and small magazines in three days, so it seems that she is almost the hottest female newcomer in the past two years.

He Mu didn't expect that there would be such two candidates, they are both celebrities who have come out of the TV series, but they have hardly passed the test of the movie, and it is still unknown whether the popularity brought to them by the TV series can continue to the box office of the movie.

In terms of actors and roles, Chen Sicheng is not very handsome, and it is actually more suitable to play Lu Fei, and He Mu can also trust Chen Sicheng's acting skills. And Wang Luodan is a little far worse than Ran Jing in the novel, Wang Luodan is not very beautiful, and it may be difficult to convince her to play the public lover Ran Jing, but her popularity is very strong, which is the main reason why Xiao Fang chose her.

Then He Mu asked questions about the director and screenwriter, they were not candidates he was familiar with, but seeing Xiao Fang's confident appearance, He Mu didn't say anything.

"Xiao Mu, there is actually one more thing I want to discuss with you when I called you here today." After chatting about all the previous topics, just as He Mu was about to leave, Xiao Fang said solemnly.

Seeing Xiao Fang's expression, He Mu also straightened his posture: "Say." ”

"I don't think you're focused on acting now, the previous "True Treasure" showed your talent in screenwriting, and now I find that you seem to have some ideas about the production and publicity of the film and television industry, have you considered developing in this direction?"

In fact, Xiao Fang wanted to ask if He Mu had ever thought about opening a film and television company by himself, before he was still very confident that the tiger wolf could keep He Mu, but now He Mu has shown a lot of talent in the film and television industry, and in the film and television dramas he participates in, he often puts forward very reasonable opinions for directors and producers, which is impressive, and he often looks at problems from a higher and farther perspective rather than an actor for the overall development of the film and television industry, and he is also the big boss of a cultural media company. In this way, can he still be willing to stay in Tiger Wolf as a signed artist?

He Mu heard Xiao Fang's voice, Xiao Fang's worries he could understand, because he did have this idea, but his foundation was too shallow, and Xiao Fang was kind and righteous to him, so this idea has been buried in his heart, but even if he is buried deep, it is also the idea in his heart, He Mu doesn't want to say anything against his heart, so he nodded, "Well, acting is still very attractive to me, and I am still willing to challenge different roles, but I am also very eager to create a work that can be labeled as He Mu." ”

Xiao Fang was grateful for He Mu's honesty, this is a brother, so he threw out another question, "What do you think of my Tiger Wolf Film and Television?" ”

Before He Mu could react, Xiao Fang asked again, "Have you ever thought of becoming its master?" ”
