Chapter 50: Speculation is Risky (Part II)

He Dada also seemed to expect Meng Chao to refuse, so he smiled and said: "That's right, my brother is so hot now, he must still be too busy, or else?" Can you lend me a few of the actors or directors you have? ”

"Borrow?"

Meng Chao raised his eyebrows and said, "How does Boss He want to borrow the law?" ”

He Da continued to laugh: "Slip of the tongue! It should be said that if you invite an actor or director from your company to join our new movie, can you help my brother with this? ”

The main creators of the two new movies that Meng Chao plans to shoot next include Ye Qianwen, Guan Shan, Huang Baiming, Gao Zhisen, Chen Aaron and Li Lizhen, and the rest of the Happy Girls group members are not useful, it is not a problem to let them participate in other movies, after all, Genesis Film Company holds their film contracts, which are more than five years long, so even if they go out to shoot film companies, they can get a large share of the agency, and they can help the company cultivate new talents through the works of other film companies, which can be described as a good thing to kill two birds with one stone!

But there must be a premise for this, that is, the quality of the movie must be hard enough!

And a layman businessman like He Dada, who wants to come in and get a piece of the pie when he sees that the film industry is profitable but doesn't understand anything, Meng Chao is worried that the first movie that the members of the Happy Girl Group he organized will be harmed by him, and even become box office poison, so it really outweighs the loss.

So now Meng Chao asked: "Listen to what Boss He meant, won't you not even have a director and script for this new movie, I think you seem to be planning to borrow everything?" More precisely, you are planning to rent, and you are a car rental company when our company is a car rental company? ”

He Dada smiled embarrassedly: "It's not nothing, if Boss Meng can't borrow the director, I plan to hire director Zhu Yanping from Wanwan at a high price, Wanwan doesn't pay attention to commercial films, so this comedy director is not very valued, I believe that he can also make our movie well, at most it is just to spend a little more money, as for the script, I plan to copy your "Happy Ghost" model, a ghost travels through modern times and then picks up girls on campus." ”

He Da is such a stupid hat, Meng Chao is really rare, dare to say in front of the original creator of the movie to copy your model, as soon as such words are spoken, who can help you make a movie? It's not disgusting, what do people do?

"Since Boss He is so well prepared, I don't think I need to intervene."

He Dacheng didn't know what he said wrong, but seeing that Meng Chao was unwilling to borrow actors, He Dacheng quickly became anxious: "Boss Meng is a bit unrighteous like this, right?" ”

Meng Chao smiled: "Before the cocktail party, I didn't seem to know Boss He, this righteous and unrighteous words are too cheap to come out of your mouth, right?" ”

He Da was suddenly a little annoyed: "Since that's the case, I'll disturb Boss Meng." ”

……

After He Da left, Meng Chao sighed and said to Guan Shan and Huang Baiming: "The film industry has just improved a little, and this kind of opportunists will soon get in. ”

Huang Baiming said with a smile: "I think this toilet king is in the pit this time, according to his filming method, the cost of the movie is extremely high, and the effect is estimated to be not very ......."

In the end, Guan Shan humorously concluded: "Speculation is risky, and filming needs to be cautious!" ”

The three of them drank a cup and laughed.

For speculators like He Dada, Meng Chao has seen it in the past, but more often in the TV drama crew in the film and television city, some people see that the TV series is so popular, and they are not affected by the free version, so they want to invest in filming dramas one by one, but they completely rely on following the trend and inviting big names, and finally left the market in a gloomy manner.

At this time, Huang Baiming got down to business and said: "By the way, Mr. Meng, the things you explained have been arranged for you, Dong Dart, the leading actor of the "Rich and Powerful" series, has already rushed over from Xiangjiang, as for the fat sister who plays his wife, there is a store specializing in fat clothes in Yanjing Xidemen the day after tomorrow to open, she will go to cut the ribbon as the boss, I have told her that you will appear as a special guest to help cut the ribbon, and then you will mention the movie to her again." ”

The "Rich and Powerful" series can be described as the proud series of Gao Zhisen in the early years of the parallel world, and at that time made a lot of contributions to Debao Films, one of the three major film companies in Xiangjiang, but in this world, Debao Film Company has never been established, so Gao Zhisen naturally has no room to play, but plunged into Meng Chao's company, so Meng Chao planned to let him continue to create the blockbuster series of movies "Rich and Powerful"!

This is a low-cost comedy movie series, the main content is the small citizen life of Uncle Bi and the fat sister family, it is completely full of secularized urban comedy, and the mentality of small citizens who want to make a windfall dream makes this family continue to buy lottery tickets, and every episode wins a huge prize and then goes bankrupt for various reasons, and finally recovers, the movie is about the continuous change of mentality and the life gap between the rich and the poor!

Meng Chao personally likes this series very much, especially the roles of Uncle Bi and Aunt Bi, the pillars of the family, so Meng Chao resolutely follows the actors of the parallel world, and specially let Huang Baiming contact Dong Dart, who broadcasts horse racing on Xiangjiang TV.

At the same time, Dong Bi is also a member of the drama group, and has been actively starring in TV series in Xiangjiang since the 80s, and at the same time serving as ATV's horse racing broadcaster, he has never had the opportunity to try the big screen performance, so this time Meng Chao mainly found someone to contact him, and Uncle Bi was naturally very willing and immediately agreed.

"It's good that Uncle Biu agrees, he is the main character of this movie, there is nothing to see without him, as for the fat sister, I have already greeted her, and she will agree to act."

Seeing that Meng Chao attaches so much importance to Dong Bi, Huang Baiming is also a little inexplicable, Dong Bi has acted in several TV series in Xiangjiang, but he is not a first-line actor, and his main job is mainly to broadcast horse racing, if the protagonist in "Rich and Powerful" is a horse racer or a horse critic, then it is right to find Dong Bi, but it is not!

In the script written by Meng Chao, Uncle Bi is a staff member of the TV station, and there are many people who can play this role, why does Meng Chao favor and attach so much importance to Dong Bi? also made a special trip to Xiangjiang to invite this old brother?
