Chapter 203: Identity and Conditions
It's off to a good start, and it's really worth celebrating.
So everyone has the best reason to go and eat together.
During the banquet, Feng Zhinan also made a test or two of the actors and actresses in "Love in Honolulu".
It's a pity that these actors all belong to different performing arts companies, and they have a contract for sky-high liquidated damages, and there is no way to switch to Storm Video like Zhou Renliang, saying that they switched to Storm Video.
Of course, for the pioneering work of Storm Audio-Visual Company, which is about to be directed by Chen Mo and directed by Zhou Renliang, everyone is still very interested in coming in and playing a role - even if it is a cameo with only a face.
As for the performance fee, it's easy to say anything, and it's not a matter of giving more or less.
"Speaking of which, in my zombie romance film, I really need handsome men and beautiful women like you, so when the time comes, you must give our Director Zhou a personal scene."
Chen Mo naturally couldn't ask for it.
Why is "Warm Corpse" called the zombie version of Twilight, isn't it because the camera is more beautiful, and then there are also handsome guys and beauties in the play?
The main actors of "Love in Honolulu" in front of them, the men are quite handsome and the women are quite beautiful, which fully meet the requirements.
Several actors nodded busily, and they asked for this just now, and the ghost would refuse.
So after laughing again, several of the actresses took the initiative to resign their positions first, and then it was obviously time to talk about the details of the script, and it was not appropriate for them to stay here.
Chen Mo didn't keep much, after all, he didn't know these actors very well, and after those actors left. Chen Mo officially began to talk about the plot of "Warm Corpse".
The whole story of "Warm Corpse" begins with the most common, classic and then the most bloody zombie film - a mysterious virus suddenly erupts. It also made human civilization fall directly into extinction, and anyone infected with the virus would become an undead zombie. There is no love and no hate, only an irrepressible ** for flesh and blood. Those who survived, on the other hand, lived in a constant state of fear, watching their loved ones become a walking corpse alive.
However, when a group of zombies eager to devour flesh and blood surround a human team in charge of supply and reconnaissance, one of the brained zombies named R falls in love with the cute human woman Julie at first sight, so not only does he not eat her brain. He also rescued her from her starving companions.
The zombie R, who is not too cold, is very similar to the loving robot WALL-E, who has made his home in an abandoned airplane and has collected music records, snow globes, various musical instruments, and other miscellaneous things that R shows to Julie.
Then the young man and woman ...... Oh well, it's a combination of a beautiful woman and a zombie dude, hopelessly in love......
This is the synopsis of the plot - the movie doesn't need to be too complicated, it can justify itself and shoot well. Especially romance films.
Then there's the question of the selling point of the film.
"Mr. Chen, did you really decide to make this zombie romance?"
Chen Mo said carefully and carefully, and Zhou Renliang actually listened carefully and carefully, but Zhou Renliang also had one last question. Therefore, Chen Mo finished telling the synopsis of the story, and before he had time to joke about the selling point of the film, Zhou Renliang finally couldn't help but ask.
No way. After all, in Zhou Renliang's consciousness, this so-called zombie romance is also the product of what he said casually. Unexpectedly, Chen Mo actually got him a script for a zombie romance movie.
So in Zhou Renliang's heart, he always felt that this matter was a little unreliable.
"Listen to me." Chen Mo didn't answer the question of whether it was true or not. Instead, he continued: "Because this is not a zombie romance film, it is naturally based on love, and there is no doubt that it is not the love between rough men and beauties, it is the beautiful love between men and women, don't you think that among the scary zombies, there is actually a handsome, evil and loving zombie handsome guy, and the contrast with the environment is already very high?" Secondly, another highlight of this film is...... Finally, after watching the scary "Resident Evil", in the face of a poster of a handsome zombie guy, will you be interested in walking into the cinema again with curiosity? β
Zhou Renliang nodded subconsciously, these few words were enough to make his admiration for Chen Mo out of control like the flooding of the Yellow River, the grasp of the theme of the movie, and the speculation on the psychology of the moviegoer, are extremely powerful!
Then, Zhou Renliang finally understood that he had obviously asked a very idiotic question before.
In this zombie romance film, Mr. Chen is undoubtedly serious.
Moreover, when this zombie romance film is filmed, there should be a box office that will not be bad!
"Director Zhou, I just want to ask, can you shoot this zombie romance movie I said?"
Chen Mo asked very seriously.
Since all of them have been said so much, since Storm Audio, which was jointly established with Feng Zhinan, and since Zhou Renliang has become the first contracted director of Storm Audio, then of course Chen Mo should ask this matter clearly in advance.
Therefore, Chen Mocai called Director Zhou again, and he needed Zhou Renliang to answer his question as a director.
"Now there are no outsiders here, so I'll tell you the truth! Old...... Boss, in fact, 70% of "Love in Honolulu" is my mirror. β
Zhou Renliang gritted his teeth and revealed this secret, which may not be a secret.
Obviously, Zhou Renliang understood what Chen Mo deliberately called him Director Zhou again, and changed his title instead of Mr. Chen, but called him a more formal "boss".
Although it is only a verbal agreement, Zhou Renliang is not a person who has never seen the world, and he feels that at most after this meal, a formal contract ...... At least a draft contract will be placed in front of him.
This statement made Chen Mo couldn't help but glance at Feng Zhinan again.
Sure enough, Feng Zhinan was the same as these mourners.
So, Miss Feng, you must have taken the opportunity to ask others to join Storm Video before because you knew Zhou Renliang's level, right?!
That's right, too. If you don't even know the basics, how can you send out an invitation?
Recklessly. Who knows if Zhou Renliang is a free body?
If Zhou Renliang belonged to some film company, the invitation failed for this reason. It's going to be a shame.
As soon as he thought of this, Chen Mo finally made up his mind.
"Director Zhou, in this zombie romance film, I decided to invest 10 million in you. And your task is very simple, which is to make it well! How about Director Zhou, do you have confidence? β
Chen Mo clapped his hands and said.
Maybe it was because Chen Mo glanced at Feng Zhinan just now, which made Zhou Renliang have other ideas, and after Zhou Renliang listened to Chen Mo's words, he also subconsciously glanced at Feng Zhinan.
"What do you see me doing? Storm Audio's investment in filming business. All of them are determined by Chen Mo independently, and I will not interfere. β
Feng Zhinan said immediately, but she took this opportunity to show her attitude - she will only be responsible for the management of Storm Audio-Visual Company, and she will never interfere in this kind of investment matter, which belongs to Chen Mo's right by default.
Feng Zhinan is so relieved, in addition to having already recognized Chen Mo's script creation ability, he feels that this zombie romance film called "Warm Corpse" should be able to make a fortune after being filmed, which is also one of the important reasons.
The investment is close to 10 million coming in. It's not meant to be burned.
And now that he got a positive response, Zhou Renliang could finally rest assured and excited, he stood up abruptly and stretched his originally rickety waist, and patted Chen Mo's chest: "Boss Chen!" And Boss Feng. You can rest assured! I promise to make this zombie romance movie the best effect! β
Well, that's the right thing to say.
Chen Mo asked the excited Zhou Renliang to sit down again. And then continue to add the trivial questions about the movie that I just said.
And after some explanation. Zhou Renliang also basically completely understood how this zombie romance should be filmed.
In fact, the clearer you know. The more Zhou Renliang's heart became more stable, because he found that this zombie romance film was not much different from the ordinary romance film he was best at, it was nothing more than bringing the novel movie element of zombies.
"Two bosses, after participating in the film festival, I will fly to Ordos immediately!"
Because he already has a score in his heart, Zhou Renliang can also express his determination.
Fei Erdos, of course, wanted to take advantage of the fact that Yu Bowen's "Resident Evil" was still being filmed, and coordinated the filming of "Warm Corpse".
As for the issue of the script, it is natural to discuss it slowly.
In this regard, Chen Mo naturally agreed very much, so after he agreed to Zhou Renliang's request, Feng Zhinan picked him up again and talked to Zhou Renliang.
Feng Zhinan would never talk about the script and plot with Zhou Renliang, she talked about signing the contract as Zhou Renliang expected, but Zhou Renliang not only did not have any disgust and resistance, but the last bit of worry in her heart was also blown away.
At this point, then surely it is no longer a fool, is it?
With the cooperation of Zhou Renliang, the draft agreement for Zhou Renliang to join Storm Video and Audio, which was put into writing, was signed at the dinner table.
Chen Mo, Ji Yanran, and Zhou Renliang all signed their names on the draft contract.
got a higher harvest than expected, and after signing the contract, Zhou Renliang left with a draft contract that had not dried his handwriting, and left satisfied.
Before Zhou Renliang left, Feng Zhinan immediately took out the phone and called.
Although it is not very clear who Feng Zhinan called, the purpose of Feng Zhinan's call Chen Mo was very clear - asking the person who answered the phone to immediately prepare various materials, register and establish a storm audio and video company, and then fax a copy of the copy of the business license as quickly as possible.
In China, it is easy to register a physical company, except for those companies that are more troublesome and must go through various inspections and quarantines, such as film companies are all one-stop services, as long as the company's special bank account is verified that there is a deposit in line with the registered capital, and there is no problem in verifying the registrant, then you can basically get a business license within a few hours.
There is no doubt that these are also what Feng Zhinan told Chen Mo, and one of the meanings she said about this is that Chen Mo needs to transfer his part of the registered capital into a special bank account for verification.
According to the customary rules in this world, a transfer of a large amount of money like 10 million is not like 30,000 or 20,000, and you can transfer it at any time, and Chen Mo himself needs to call the bank to inform him.
This is something that needs to be dealt with urgently, but I still have to wait for news from the person in charge there, so I can't rush it for a while.
So after that phone call, everyone went back to the hotel and continued to chat about the upcoming Nanjing Film Festival.
Taking a plane, going around the Confucius Temple and the Qinhuai River, plus the big tasting banquet just now, at least Chen Mo no longer has the energy to continue to wander around.
Everyone gathered in Chen Mo's room, and Qiu Dalin suddenly proposed to take off his clothes if he lost playing mahjong, but he was naturally beaten out with a stick.
In the room, there were only two left, Chen Mo and his sister-in-law.
"Chen Mo, this dead fat man, he went out to fool around, right?"
Feng Zhinan suddenly asked.
"Heh, that Dalin guy, it's really good to find this reason to go out and fool around."
Chen Mo, who blew away Qiu Dalin, was snickering after closing the door, how could he not know what Qiu Dalin's idea was, now that Feng Zhinan had guessed it, he would not keep it secret.
Of course, Feng Zhinan guessed correctly, if he hadn't taken the initiative to beg to be driven away, how could Qiu Dalin say anything about the zombie rhetoric of stripping mahjong?
"Let him fool around, it's good to lose both people and money! Sure enough, most men are not good things! β
Feng Zhinan was very angry, after all, Qiu Dalin had pursued her, and this situation made her difficult to accept.
Belch...... My words shouldn't be in the scope of most men, Miss Feng, right?
"Chen Mo, you guy is not much better!"
Feng Zhinan glared at Chen Mo.
This made Chen Mo feel at easeβit wasn't much better, that is, it was really a little better.
"Fake uncle, where did Brother Da Lin go to fool around? Didn't he just come to Nanjing for the first time? β
Ji Yanran's attitude is the most neutral, so she is also the most curious.
"Then I really don't know where he went to fool around, but don't worry that he's definitely fine, it's the name of the big white group, I'm afraid I'm going to be humiliated again...... Oh yes, Yanran, you haven't taken your medicine today? Go get the medicine! β
Chen Mo suddenly remembered this.
Ji Yanran has actually been taking medicine all the time, but unless someone is staring at her, this girl will always "accidentally" forget to take medicine.
"Why do you always worry about letting people take medicine, fake uncle, you are a bad person!"
Ji Yanran immediately became indignant, but while muttering, she still went to get the medicine after all.
"Fake uncle, it's okay for me to take medicine, but the condition is that you have to accompany me to play electric for an hour! An hour is fine! β
After taking the medicine, Ji Yanran did not eat it obediently, but began to talk about the conditions.
Although she only came to Nanjing for a short period of time, Ji Yanran especially brought a game console. (To be continued......)
