Chapter 132
When Chen Mo returned home that night, it was almost ten o'clock. Mu Yu was working overtime in the study to read the information, but turned on the lights in the living room.
The warm light emitted a bright glow in the dark night, and Chen Mo suddenly felt that the exhaustion all over his body had been dispelled.
Mu Yu walked out of the study, looked at Chen Mo who was leaning on the sofa, and asked gently, "Have you eaten at night?" β
"Fooling around." Chen Mo said pitifully.
None of the three big men can cook, but fortunately, Chen Mo has a good memory, and he still remembers the few takeaway calls that he liked to order when he lived in the apartment. I ordered two spicy tang and one pork rib rice, but the taste was not as good as before.
"What did you eat at night?" Chen Mo looked at Mu Yu with blank eyes.
Mu Yu said with a smile: "I stewed a lotus root pork rib soup and fried two green vegetables." I'm going to give you some heat. β
Chen Mo nodded again and again, and followed Mu Yu into the kitchen. Cover the saved dinner with plastic wrap and throw it in the microwave.
Mu Yu turned on the natural gas switch to heat the pork rib soup.
By the way, I asked about the arrangement of Chen Mokai's studio.
Chen Mo waved his hand with a big grin and said with a smile: "I'll hand it over to Brother Dong." If you can work harder, let him worry about it. β
That being said, but then Chen Mo still babbled about his desire to set up a crew and recruit screenwriters, including the decision to let Ji Ze try acting. Then the topic somehow began to be crooked, from Ji Ze to Qin Yuqiong and Sheng Yuan, and finally Chen Mo sighed very depressedly: "I don't know who the person who was with Ji Ze that night?" I don't know about it, I always feel like I'm almost something. β
I'm afraid that there will be chaos in the future.
Mu Yu smiled slightly, and asked casually, "Do you want me to inquire for you?" β
"Inquiring about what?" Chen Mo paused for a moment, then reacted, and said with a dumb smile: "It's better not to use it!" β
Asking Mu Yu to help him inquire about gossip, Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it. I always feel that the style of painting is really wrong.
Holding the steaming lotus root pork rib soup and drinking two large bowls in succession, Chen Mo asked Mu Yu what he was busy with. Mu Yu talked about the specific construction progress of the museum and film and television city built by the Mu Group and several major families in Xijiang Province. also mentioned that the gluttonous building was preparing to build the filming of "Food Color".
Usually couples sit together and are slimy and affectionate, but Chen Mo and Mu Yu are like workaholics, talking about work all the time. After eating, Chen Mo picked up the table and went to the kitchen to brush the dishes, and Mu Yu returned to the study to finish the work at hand.
As soon as he pressed the shutdown button, Chen Mo stood at the door of the study with a smile, raised his eyebrows and asked, "I should exercise more after eating." Why don't we take a shower? β
Mu Yu didn't ask about the direct relationship between taking a bath and exercising after eating, but just smiled: "You go first." I went back to the bedroom to get my clothes. β
Chen Mo smiled and said very ripplingly: "Hurry up~"
Within a few days, the news that Chen Mo was going to terminate the artist contract with Huaxia Entertainment and set up a studio under the name of Huaxia Entertainment spread in the entertainment industry. The entertainment industry, which was not very quiet, was like detonating a β‘β‘, and it boiled in an instant.
And Ji Ze, who had disappeared for more than half a month, finally appeared in front of the media and directly asked to terminate the contract with the original brokerage company.
According to the contract, if the artist requests to terminate the contract before the contract expires, he will have to pay liquidated damages. Ji Ze, as the first brother of Shengyuan Entertainment Agency, is also a well-known and popular king in the Chinese music scene, and his liquidated damages are naturally astronomical. If it is paid according to the contract, even if Ji Ze does not go bankrupt, he will definitely lose his vitality. In addition, Sheng Yuan actually framed himself in order to curry favor with the major shareholder, and hinted that his artists came forward to smear him, and all kinds of reasons prompted Ji Ze not to compensate for this liquidated damages.
One party is holding the contract and talking, but the other party doesn't want to be the wrongdoer. The two parties could not negotiate privately, so they had to go to the court to ruling.
Sheng Yuan is rich and wealthy, and he has already done a good job, and the amount of breach of contract is written in black and white, and Sheng Yuan doesn't think that Ji Ze can make any wolf flowers by himself.
Unexpectedly, Ji Ze took out the conclusive evidence that Sheng Yuan's agent Yang conspired with his artists to frame Ji Ze and secretly bought the gossip reporter to release the "nightclub door" to smear Ji Ze. And on the grounds that "on the premise that the artist has not violated the important provisions of the contract, he shall not exercise bad means such as snow hiding and blocking to affect the artist's career", accusing Shengyuan Entertainment of taking the lead in violating the contract during the travel contract, so Ji Ze should not only not pay a huge amount of liquidated damages when terminating the contract, but should receive the same liquidated damages paid by Shengyuan Entertainment to Ji Ze. and when Sheng Yuan tore up the contract and smeared Ji Ze, he caused mental damage, image damage, economic loss to Ji Ze, and so on.
When you do the math, it is twice as much as the liquidated damages stipulated in the contract.
Ji Ze's lawyer was found with the help of Chen Mo, who was originally a member of the M Moser Group's legal advisory group. I was already very familiar with the case of commercial disputes, plus Yang Qindong bought Sheng Yuan's staff and got the video of Sheng Yuan's agent Yang instigating Sheng Yuan's artist to smear Ji Ze as evidence, and under the ironclad evidence, Sheng Yuan's lawyers were losing and retreating, and they couldn't control the scene at all. Losing the case is a matter of course.
On the day of the court's verdict, Ji Ze, who finally raised his eyebrows, stood at the door of the court and announced in front of all the media that he would join Chen Mo's studio as a shareholder, and would participate in the first film "After the Fairy Tale" directed by Chen Mo under the arrangement of the studio, dedicating his big-screen Virgo to everyone. At the same time, he also announced to everyone that his new agent is Yang Qindong, another shareholder of Chen Mo Studio.
Yang Qindong, who has been hiding behind Ji Ze, also accompanied Ji Ze to attend the last trial, announcing the official establishment of Chen Mo Studio as the second shareholder of Chen Mo Studio and Ji Ze's agent, and inviting media from all walks of life to attend the press conference on the establishment of the studio. By the way, it was also proposed that Chen Mo Studio would sue Shengyuan Entertainment's agent Yang and a singing group in the name of defamation.
It is required that the other party must publicly apologize to Ji Ze in the media and newspapers, and pay one yuan for mental damages.
As soon as the news came out, the entire entertainment industry was in an uproar again.
During this period of time, the entertainment industry has been in a uproar by Ji Ze's "nightclub door", and the names of Ji Ze, nightclub doors, Shengyuan Entertainment and even a certain group have been frequently searched on the top. Shengyuan Entertainment did not hesitate to destroy the Great Wall in order to curry favor with major shareholders, and its brain-dead behavior of smearing its own cash cow was also put on the table, and was criticized and ridiculed by countless people.
Shengyuan Entertainment complained behind his back that Chen Mogou was nosy with rats. There are many people in the entertainment industry who call them brothers, and they are all icing on the cake. But if anyone is really unlucky, let alone sending charcoal in the snow, as long as it doesn't fall into the well, it's good. It's just that Chen Mo doesn't follow the rules, for the sake of a Ji Ze who doesn't like to offend Sheng Yuan, you have to say that the relationship between the two is really iron to that Cheng DΓΉ, but the two have no private contacts before.
Chen Mo's thankless move has always puzzled Sheng Yuan.
But now that the news of Chen Mo's establishment of a studio has just come out, Ji Ze has joined it as a shareholder. As soon as they got in touch, Shengyuan Entertainment immediately made up the reason why Chen Mo jumped up and down so much in Ji Ze's matter.
Stealing chickens by himself is not a loss, not only do the chickens that lay golden eggs have to pay billions of liquidated damages to the golden chickens, and the newcomer combination that the company wants to support with a lot of money has also been sued in court, and at the same time, the popularity plummeted, and at the same time, it was frantically boycotted by Ji Ze and Chen Mo's fans. There is no hope of becoming popular.
All kinds of changes add up, not to mention the media reporters who are watching the lively media from the outside world and thinking about making headlines, and even the internal strife and dispute within the shareholders' meeting have arisen. Many people are extremely dissatisfied with a certain major shareholder who caused this dispute, and even complained about Ji Ze's former agent Qin Yuqiong.
Of course, the most hated is Chen Mo, a bandit who robs money and slaps his face.
Due to the support of M Moser Group behind the back, Shengyuan Entertainment did not dare to make many moves for the time being. But robbing people of money is like killing their parents, Chen Mo's methods this time are too ruthless, and Sheng Yuan, who has bled heavily and made him disgraced, has long hated Chen Mo......
Chen Mo didn't have the energy to pay attention to Sheng Yuan's reaction. As the saying goes, "if you don't attract envy, you are mediocre", the circle is so narrow, the cake is so big, how can you not violate the interests of others if you want to do things and make money. In the past, it was like grabbing headlines and picking scripts and roles, but now when you set up a studio, you still have to face competition if you want to go it alone.
The commodity society is like this, if you look ahead and worry about everything, you don't have to do anything.
Yang Qindong's movements were fast, and within two months, the shelves of the studio were opened. The lighting and camera executive directors and other professionals invited over are all well-known in the industry, and even logistics support departments such as the administration department, personnel department, legal department, and public relations department have also been established, and Chen Mo has also invited a few screenwriters who need - although they are not famous, they have a good foundation, and they used to be gunmen. There is also experience in writing screenplays.
Even the agents who can't see the use for the time being have hired two, which can be called a sparrow, although small, with all kinds of organs.
In terms of management, Chen Mo absolutely believes in Yang Qindong. So he only did the most preliminary interviews with the new employees in the studio, and handed over the rest to Yang Qindong to deal with. Only when it comes to money and finance, Yang Qindong did not intervene, but instead built Chen Motong's connections and asked a professional Su zhì stronger finance.
Chen Mo understands Yang Qindong's concerns, and also feels that clear accounts are absolutely essential for a studio that wants to develop for a long time. Then it is also urgent to find a qualified financial person.
In addition, there is something about the location of the studio, which also makes Chen Mo tangled up-
According to Yang Qindong's plan, since the studio is affiliated with Huaxia Entertainment, and the studio will inevitably have close contact with Huaxia Entertainment in terms of work after its establishment, then the location should be closer to Huaxia Entertainment - it is best to be like Chen Yuxiu and Yuan Haobin, and put the studio in the headquarters building of Huaxia Entertainment. When the time comes, it will be convenient to do whatever you do.
Chen Mo wanted to set up his studio near the headquarters of the M Moser Group on a whim. However, he was quickly persuaded by Yang Qindong and felt that it would be more appropriate to set up his work place at the headquarters of Huaxia Entertainment.
When these trivial matters are dealt with, it will be almost the end of the year. Generally, companies are ready to take a holiday at the end of the year, but Chen Mo's studio has just begun to enter the track. There is still a movie to be made this year, and everyone originally thought that they would have to work overtime during the Chinese New Year this year. Unexpectedly, just two days before Chinese New Year's Eve, Chen Mo asked Yang Qindong to announce the arrangements for the New Year's holiday. By the way, I wrapped a big red envelope for the employees, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Ji Ze, who has been staying in Chen Mo's apartment and not leaving, also moved out of the apartment and returned to his residence a few years ago. The giant baby, who was quite idle, also used the excuse of "housewarming" to invite Chen Mo and Yang Qindong to eat at home.
Because several big men can't cook, and it's so cold in the New Year, everyone unanimously decided to eat hot pot.
The ingredients are all bought in the supermarket downstairs, fat cow tender lamb, lamb, shrimp balls, fish balls, all kinds of green vegetables, washed and thrown into the soup, and directly eaten when they are cooked.
Everyone finished a hot pot with sweating profusely, and the time was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon. Chen Mo and Yang Qindong wiped their mouths and got up to say goodbye. Ji Ze sent the person downstairs, stood at the gate of the community and watched the car of the two slowly leave the sight, and then walked back with nothing to do.
When I got to the door, I didn't want to go home. Ji Ze's parents are long gone, and he has no contact with relatives on both sides. When it comes to the New Year's holiday, other people's homes are overcrowded and noisy, and they can make fifteen or sixteen dishes for the New Year. Only his own home is deserted. was accompanied by Qin Yuqiong before, and it was better for the two to celebrate the New Year together. Now that even Qin Yuqiong is gone, Ji Ze doesn't like to go home even more.
After thinking about it, he put on his hat, mask and scarf, and walked along the sidewalk outside the community. Not long after walking, a black car suddenly stopped beside him, and a tall man with a cold face stepped out of the car and approached him.
A large shadow shrouded him, facing a stranger who was a head taller than himself, Ji Ze subconsciously took a few steps back, and heard the man chuckle and said, "Don't remember me?" β
Ji Ze: "??? β
Chen Mo, who returned to the apartment, didn't know what happened to Ji Ze. In winter, Huajing City is particularly cold, and people stand outside for a while, and their faces hurt when the northwest wind blows. Chen Mo, who parked the car downstairs and wanted to go to the supermarket to buy snacks on a whim, carried two pockets of puffed food upstairs with a blue face. He didn't wear gloves, and his hands were already red from the cold, and he was a little itchy when he entered the building, which was very uncomfortable.
Chen Mo, who finally carried his things home, cried and stood in front of Mu Yu with his hands raised.
Mu Yu was preparing the dishes to be eaten in the kitchen for the evening, and when he saw Chen Mo's hands red like crab claws, he couldn't help but smile: "How many times have I told you, you have to wear a hat and gloves when you go out." You always don't listen. β
"You're still laughing!" Chen Mo glared at Mu Yu's smile angrily, and said angrily: "I'm injured, I won't wash the dishes tonight!" To use the dishwasher! β
Mu Yuwan responded: "Okay." β
As he spoke, he held Chen Mo's hand into his palm and warmed it.
In fact, the supermarket that Chen Mo went to was only 500 meters away from the building where the two lived, and even if Chen Mo didn't bring gloves when he went over and came back with two bags of snacks, he wouldn't be able to freeze anywhere. It's just that Chen Mo's skin is tender, and if something is wrong, it will be bruised. Mu Yu knew this very clearly.
Regarding Chen Mo's statement that he had to say that his hands were frostbitten and he couldn't wash the dishes, Mu Yu also agreed with a smile. In fact, the family had already bought a dishwasher, and it was Chen Mo himself who felt that it was fair to cook by hand and wash the dishes by hand. So insist on not using the dishwasher. However, Chen Mo couldn't last long, and there were always twenty days a month to find all kinds of excuses not to wash the dishes. Mu Yu is also used to it. On the contrary, I feel that this is a kind of love and fun.
But......
Mu Yu blinked, looked at Chen Mo's arrogant look, and couldn't help but smile: "You look like Ji Ze now." β
Chen Mo: "!! β
Mu Yu hooked the corners of his mouth thoughtfully, and said casually: "This is probably the red who is close to Zhu and the black who is close to ink." β
Chen Mo looked at Mu Yu with a frightened expression, and blurted out, "Intellectual retardation won't be infected, right?" β
Mu Yu: "......"
Because during the Chinese New Year last year, Chen's father and Chen's mother had a lot of fun at Mu's house. So early this year, the two families made the decision to get together for the New Year.
After the lively sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the movie "After the Fairy Tale" was officially launched.
For the first debut work directed by himself, Chen Mo did not hold a press conference, and chose to officially start the film very low-key. I didn't invite major media to join the group for interviews or anything - this is all because there were too many scandals before the start of "After the Fairy Tale". Chen Mo doesn't want to leave the audience with the impression that "After the Fairy Tale" only relies on hype. Therefore, it was decided that until the end of filming, I would not actively promote the work.
However, the opening ceremony of incense and tribute still has to be there. As industry insiders said, the filming of the crew after the incense offering may not be smooth, but if there is no incense tribute, if something happens, everyone will definitely have a pimple in their hearts.
Chen Mo didn't want to affect everyone's mood for such a trivial matter, so it was good to follow the crowd.
is the first time to be a director, commanding dozens of people in a crew, even if Chen Mo has a systematic golden finger and a big heart, he can't help but be a little nervous when it comes to the end.
Fortunately, the lighting and camera executive directors Yang Qindong found are quite reliable. Chen Mo himself has also experienced several times in the system, and at present, he can control the situation.
The first scene after the start of the film is the scene where the male No. 2 Ji Heng has no creative inspiration, and his friend Jian yì puts down his work to fall in love.
Speaking of which, I have to mention Ji Ze's reaction when he saw that the second male lead he played was actually called Ji Heng when he received the script.
"What kind of name is this?" Ji Ze glared at Chen Mo angrily with an expression of "what the hell are you doing", and indignantly accused Chen Mo of not being careful.
However, when he saw that Yuan Haobin, who made a cameo appearance as his friend, was asked by Chen Mo to choose one of the two names "Xiao Yuan Yuan" and "Xiao Binbin", Ji Ze immediately closed his mouth smartly.
There is no harm without contrast. Compared with the names of Mary Sue such as "Xiao Yuanyuan" and "Xiao Binbin", Chen Mo didn't name him "Xiao Jiji" or "Xiao Zeze", which is really excellent.
Yuan Haobin, who was kept in the dark in advance and learned the truth after receiving the script, was also crying and laughing. However, he can also understand what Chen Mo means when he wants to make a joke. What's more, this kind of little joke is harmless, and he can sell a cute one in front of the audience, Yuan Haobin, who knows the importance of marketing, almost didn't struggle much, and chose the name of "Xiao Binbin" at random.
Of course, the entanglement between the two was also filmed by Chen Mo into behind-the-scenes footage, ready to be kept as easter eggs for fans after the movie was released.
However, these are all swords, and what kind of Cheng dΓΉ a movie can be accepted by the audience depends on the quality.
In the apartment that had been built a long time ago, Ji Heng, the second male number played by Ji Ze, sat on the sofa in the study, trying to write songs while playing with the guitar. It's a pity that he has no inspiration, and after playing with the tune for a while, Ji Heng put the guitar aside with a tired look and leaned on the back of the sofa in a depressed manner-
"Click!" Chen Mo frowned, shouted ng for the fifth time, and said directly: "Aze, your expression is more realistic." Think about the feeling that you can't write a song, and express that feeling without acting. Come on, let's do it again...... Make-up artist touch-up ......"
Ji Ze nodded carelessly. As a popular king in the Chinese music scene, Ji Ze has never acted before, but he has also filmed the actor in the MV. originally thought that he could control this role, but he didn't expect that after Chen Mo became a director, he would be a pervert who was strict with him. The first scene was ng five times!
Fortunately, Ji Ze usually has a big temper, but he is serious enough at work. listened to Chen Mo's request and constantly changed his performance, and finally succeeded in passing one after eight times.
The whole crew breathed a sigh of relief. Ji Ze himself said complacently: "...... I think this number is quite auspicious. β
Yuan Haobin, who had been waiting on the set for more than an hour but didn't expect to wait for more than an hour, couldn't help but complain: "You're quite satisfied with yourself." β
Ji Ze smiled, looked at Yuan Haobin and said, "I've been waiting for a long time, let's go have a drink after we finish work?" β
Yuan Haobin didn't reply yet, Chen Mo, who was sitting in the director's chair, scolded with a smile: "We just started work, don't you always think about getting off work?" Besides, who do you drink with the amount of your cup poured? When you're drunk, we'll have to take care of you. β
The whole set laughed at the words of a word.
Ji Ze was annoyed and angry, and even the tips of his ears turned red and retorted: "Whoever is crazy about drinking, you are crazy about drinking, and your whole family is crazy about drinking." β
It's a pity that no one paid attention to him, Chen Mo said with a smile: "Yes, this is the state." Keep it up, let's shoot the next one......"
