Yu Bowen's decision to shoot "Resident Evil" is a good thing for Chen Mo, but also a trouble.

The good thing is naturally that when the film is filmed, Chen Mo will be able to feast his eyes, and the troublesome thing is naturally that Yu Bowen will go directly to Chen Mo's place where he lives, and discuss the script with Chen Mo and the problems of each character's setting.

Basically, Yu Bowen has already regarded Chen Mo as his queen screenwriter, and Chen Mo is about to run out of time to kiss me and my warm sister.

However, being able to exert a greater influence on the movie, so that it can follow his own train of thought to shape the plot and the feeling of the characters, Chen Mo actually feels quite cool in his heart.

It's just that this is a parallel world with a completely different world pattern after all, so the first major adjustment is made to the background country where the story takes place.

Raccoon City, which was set in the United States in the original work, has become Raccoon City in China.

Anyway, in this world, although China has had occasional ups and downs for thousands of years, it has basically always been the world boss, so it is simply common for film and television directors to blacken the motherland in their films, and no one will be heartbroken because of this kind of problem.

Of course, there is still an unspoken bottom line, and black must be black to a certain extent, and it cannot be black for the sake of black, and it cannot exceed the most fundamental bottom line, otherwise there will be some trouble.

After all, freedom of speech does not mean that you can speak irresponsibly.

However, the setting of the heroine "Alice", Chen Mo still tries to rely on Mira, the actor in the original movie, after all, the plot can be plausible, but if even the heroine Alice is too different. That sense of disobedience was too big for Chen Mo.

Fortunately, this problem is not a big problem for director Yu Bowen. In his words, it is: "Xiao Chen, according to your setting of the heroine's image." It seems that I have to find a minority girl to play this very good heroine. But it's not a big problem, the girl who wants to be an actor this year has a lot of cars, as long as she wants to find any type of car, she can find it, it's nothing more than a little bit more difficult to get her personality or something...... Well, it's decided, I'll go to a few film schools tomorrow! If you're lucky, you might find the right one for you! ”

So in such an atmosphere, the setting of the movie script and the main characters was quickly basically determined.

And then. It's a question of funding.

Yu Bowen has been making movies for so many years, and he can be regarded as an old moviemaker, so according to the approximate cost of the movie script, he came up with a figure of 50 million.

But now, the funds that are willing to invest in Yu Bowen's next film are only just half of the 25 million.

"After "Honolulu Love" goes offline, I should be able to get a share of about three million, plus my previous deposit, and ...... Then I mortgaged my house to the bank, and I should be able to make up about five million. I can't do anything about the remaining 20 million. I can only go around begging grandpa to sue grandma's investment. ”

This made Yu Bowen's brows tighten, he was actually not good at whispering to people.

Of course, there is another way, which is to cut the investment in movies and go the way of low-budget films.

But Yu Bowen never thought of this idea. It has been his long-cherished wish for many years to make this kind of exciting movie, and now it is easy to get a good script from Chen Mo that is extremely satisfactory to him, how could he be because of financial problems. and cause regret in the future.

"Why don't you try crowdfunding?"

Chen Mo suddenly said.

"Crowdfunding? Did I hear me wrong, you should be referring to VC? ”

Yu Bowen didn't understand. Of course, he didn't understand it, this parallel world has not yet invested in the concept of crowdfunding. Some are just venture capital.

Some capitalists who have so much money that they have nowhere to spend it, but are too lazy to work hard and then grab profits by themselves, will send a sum of money to invest in some emerging enterprises when they are optimistic, and then recover the principal with interest after the development and growth of the enterprise, or ...... Even the principal is folded in with interest.

"It's not venture capital, it's crowdfunding." Chen Mo shook his head and explained: "What is the venture capital, Director Yu, you know better than me, I won't say more." Crowdfunding is another matter, crowdfunding is not to take money from a single person or a certain enterprise, but through the platform so that a large number of ordinary people with some idle funds in hand can subscribe according to their own financial resources, so it is called crowdfunding. ”

"Sounds great, but how come I've never heard of a platform like this?"

Yu Bowen was obviously a little moved, but he really hadn't heard of the concept of crowdfunding.

"There wasn't before, but now it can be, Director Yu, don't you think there is a ready-made crowdfunding platform now, which is in front of our eyes?"

Chen Mo smiled.

Since he dared to say the concept of crowdfunding, Chen Mo must have already thought about the follow-up, otherwise why would he say it.

"Please!"

As soon as Yu Bowen heard this, he didn't listen to it.

"The Tesco mall that is quite popular now, do you know Director Yu?"

Chen Mo asked.

"Tesco? Oh, it seems that somewhere, more than its advertisements, it seems to be some kind of online shopping site? I guess it's something that only young people play, but I haven't paid much attention to it. ”

Yu Bowen thought carefully before replying.

"Yes, it's the Tesco mall that specializes in online shopping, but according to the big data of Tesco Mall, it now has more than 8 million registered users, and the multiple shoppers over the age of 25 have accounted for 40% of the total shopping population, so it's not something that only young people play. Therefore, I think that entrusting Tesco Mall to do a film production crowdfunding is already a very likely success. ”

Chen Mo nodded, and threw out a string of big data that sounded very lofty, but in fact, it was all big data that Miss Feng heard from Miss Feng when she called to harass him yesterday.

"Chen Mo, are you sure you really want to do this crowdfunding and raise it through their Tesco mall...... Million?! That's 20 million! ”

Yu Bowen is still a little worried, although his new film has sold more than 400 million, in addition to the millions of bonuses promised by the co-producers. According to the director's agreement signed at the beginning, he can only get a dead salary.

So 20 million is really not a small number for Yu Bowen.

"Don't try it. How do you know if you can raise it? Director Yu, please make a decision as soon as possible. Now that "Honolulu Love" has not been offline, the attention and popularity focused on you are still there, so there is indeed a chance to raise 20 million now, but I'm afraid it will be later...... I wouldn't dare say anything like that. ”

Chen Mo just made a suggestion, and for him, this suggestion did not involve his economic interests, so he naturally said whatever came to mind in his heart, just a suggestion rather than a business.

"Then ......" Chen Mo's suggestion made Yu Bowen not speak again for more than a minute, and then he finally made up his mind: "Then-try it?" ”

Now that Yu Bowen has finally made a decision. Chen Mo naturally called Miss Feng with a phone call.

"It's really rare, you actually called at this time, do you have a new song to ask me to come over and help you accompani? If that's the case, all I can say is I'm sorry...... What's going on with Lanzhou's point? During this time, the number of complaints about them has surged, and the person in charge of them has immediately made targeted rectifications, and within three days I will see the number of complaints drop back to normal levels...... Oh, I have dealt with a little official business, Chen Mo, you called, what is the matter? ”

It's after 5 p.m. Miss Feng on the other end of the phone was obviously still at work.

Chen Mo went straight to the point and told Feng Zhinan about the new movie he planned to shoot for Yu Bowen with the help of the platform of Tesco Mall.

"This crowdfunding idea. Chen Mo came up with it again, right? ”

After listening carefully to Chen Mo's narration of Miss Feng, the first question was this.

"Sort of."

Chen Mo replied.

"Director Yu's new movie is also the screenwriter you did?"

Miss Feng asked again.

"This ...... Sort of. ”

Chen Mo admitted it again.

"Chen Mo, Chen Mo. How much talent do you still have that you haven't shown? Feng Zhinan sighed on the other end of the phone. The kind of sigh of amazement: "Let's talk about it, this crowdfunding for us Tesco mall." And what's in it for you? ”

"The benefits aren't too obvious for the time being, but it's just the advertising effect. But if Director Yu's new film is a big success in the future, and brings back considerable returns to the small and medium-sized investors who participate in crowdfunding, what kind of benefits will it bring to Tesco Mall, Miss Feng, you are a very smart person, and you will definitely be able to see it more clearly than me. ”

Chen Mo organized the language, he is really not very good at business things, and he can say so much in one breath thanks to the continuous telephone harassment and consultation of business problems after the crossing, especially after Miss Feng built the Tesco Mall.

"Well, since you, as the company's chief thinker, have said so, how can I still say no?"

After listening to Chen Mo's words, Feng Zhinan immediately made a final decision.

In fact, if according to what Chen Mo said, whether this crowdfunding successfully achieves the goal of heavy remuneration or fails within the set time limit, it is actually completely beneficial and harmless to the Tesco mall she operates.

No, whether it succeeds or fails, it's a win-win or even a win-win cooperation!

Chen Mo, Chen Mo, how did your brain grow? If you go out to do business in person, just these whimsical ideas in your head, you will definitely be able to earn a lot of profits, but you are always reluctant, you just want to fight as a singer......

Yes, it seems that all his business plans are in the direction of making everyone profitable, and he has never thought about the treacherous business model that harms others and benefits himself.

But if you think about it, isn't that one of the important reasons why I'm willing to keep in touch with him?

It will be very reassuring to have financial dealings with such a good-hearted person.

Yes...... Feng Zhinan's current opinion of Chen Mo is like this.

So now it is difficult for Feng Zhinan to understand why Chen Mo two years ago would do such a thing to cheat money and sex.

I guess there's something hidden.

Feng Zhinan thought to himself.

"When are you leaving Beijing?"

Feng Zhinan asked again, but it was a new topic.

The matter of Chen Mo and Ji Yanran has long been rumored to be known to the people of the whole country, and the conflict with the princess in Guilin has also made entertainment news headlines, how did Feng Zhinan not know Chen Mo who returned to Chang'an. After a few days, I will set off again and go to the grassland.

"If nothing else. I guess it's the day after tomorrow. ”

In fact, the original plan was to set off tomorrow and go to Beihai, where Su Wu used to shepherd sheep and the lake. But because of Chen Mo and Mu Qing, Chen Mo was going to see him tomorrow, so the trip could only be postponed.

"Then call your eldest girlfriend tomorrow, and that queen Miss Yanran, how about having a meal together?"

Feng Zhinan made a suggestion.

This suggestion was politely rejected by Chen Mo, Nuan Nuan has been working hard and accompanying Granny Liu for the past two days, and Yanran has been in poor health since returning to Chang'an, and is recuperating and resting. Chen Mo is a little idle, but he has to go to see his stepmother tomorrow, and the hungry thing of eating together is naturally avoidable.

"Okay then, let's move on to crowdfunding......"

Feng Zhinan didn't force it much, but took the initiative to turn the topic back to crowdfunding.

So Chen Mo told all kinds of things he knew about crowdfunding.

Director Yu also quickly joined in, and the three of them had a detailed discussion on how to conduct crowdfunding. And when Chen Mo's mobile phone had to end the call because it was out of battery, he made a rough crowdfunding cooperation plan.

The first phase of crowdfunding is tentatively set at 15 million, and the minimum subscription amount is 100 yuan. The maximum cap is one million.

The upper and lower limits are set in order to create a psychological implication - hinting at everyone who is willing to increase crowdfunding, this crowdfunding is actually a profit-making action by Director Yu. It is to allow more ordinary people to be able to get wet with rain and dew and enjoy the benefits of filming.

And then. It is Yu Bowen who wants to reveal the crowdfunding matter to the public media little by little. Tesco Mall, on the other hand, will open a crowdfunding channel in due course, and the time limit for crowdfunding will be set at three months.

These commercial things made Chen Mo dizzy in the end, and the failure of his mobile phone was simply a salvation for him.

"Chen Mo, if the crowdfunding thing is done, I ...... Thank you! Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, this great kindness, I Yu Bowen has written it down! ”

At the end of the tripartite meeting, Yu Bowen finally left with such words.

Chen Mo really wanted to tell Yu Bowen that he actually wanted to watch a movie, so he was just working so hard to help, and it was not worth using the words "great kindness", but unfortunately he didn't find the opportunity to say it.

The next day, at an agreed teahouse, Chen Mo finally met the stepmother who originally only existed in his fusion memory.

The stepmother had high cheekbones, a pair of hanging eyebrows, triangular eyes and thin lips, and if she judged people by her appearance, she didn't look like a thick and skilled woman just by looking at her face.

Of course, it's not right to judge people by their appearance, so Chen Mo, who came to the appointment alone, shifted his attention to his stepmother's dress.

The stepmother who came to the appointment was wearing some white clothes that had been washed with body pulp, and the material of the clothes was obviously only the level of the stall.

There is no need to guess, Chen Mo has been in prison for two years, and the Chen family's family background is still not very good.

That's right, whether it is Chen's father or this stepmother, they are just small citizens engaged in low-level manual labor, even if there is no Chen Mo, the eldest son, to eat, wear and chew at home, there are also Chen Mo's two and a half younger brothers.

Half-grown children eat poor people, which is especially obvious in poor families.

"Silently, you, you...... Okay? ”

When Chen Mo had a lot of stepmothers, her stepmothers also saw Chen Mo, and she walked up to her and whispered in a low voice.

The current Chen Mo, whether it is clothing or temperament, is completely different from the Chen Mo in her stepmother's memory, as if she has completely changed her person, which makes her unable to be apprehensive, and she even wonders if she has recognized the wrong person.

"Sit down, Aunt Xiao." Chen Mo beckoned his stepmother to sit down, and only after she sat down did he ask again: "Aunt Xiao, you don't have to sell Guanzi, what are you looking for me for several times?" ”

Chen Mo didn't want to go around in circles, he just wanted to hear what this stepmother wanted to say.

If it was just a small request such as asking for money, Chen Mo would not be able to consider agreeing to this shell, after all, it was the flesh and blood that the Chen family had raised.

But if the lion opens his mouth, then I'm sorry - everyone has broken off family ties and is now a stranger.

"Silent ......"

Chen Mo's two sentences of Aunt Xiao made the stepmother's expression become panicked and sad, in the past, the original Chen Mo was also called fuck after all, but now it has changed back to Aunt Xiao who is not even a mother.

This kid is clearly holding a grudge against what happened two years ago!

"Silently, your mother explained, two years ago, the family was indeed sorry for you, but the family is also a last resort, if you continue to break off the family relationship, our family would have been completely dragged down by that debt, and we also had to make that statement in order to protect the family! But no matter what, we're still a family after all! A family of flesh and blood! Silently, you can deny me as a mother, but you can't even recognize your father and your two younger brothers! ”

The stepmother said excitedly and mournfully, and the surrounding guests couldn't help but look sideways.

In Chen Mo's heart, he wanted to sneer.

A family after all?

In the memories of fusion, when I was in prison for two years, except for an aunt who visited me twice and a friend who was a child visited me a few times, when did you flesh-and-blood family members visit the prison?

And those fused memories are forgotten.

I still remember vividly -- when I was released from prison, I waited for the person outside the juvenile detention center to be surnamed Guo, not Xiao or Chen!

"Aunt Xiao, don't say these meaningless words, I want to know now - what do you want to do when you come to me several times?"

Chen Mo responded, his voice was cold, as if he had a heart of stone.

"Silent, how can you be so ruthless?! I—I really have no choice but to come to you! You don't know, Jing Feng is very sick, he, he ...... You need a kidney replacement to survive! Silently, please, I know you are rich now, very, very rich, so please lend your parents a little money, 500,000! As long as 500,000! Please, be silent! ”

The stepmother's emotions collapsed suddenly.

And if the fused memory is not wrong, this Jing Feng that the stepmother said is the third brother of the original Chen Mo's family.

Among the three brothers, the relationship between the original Chen Mo and the third Chen Jingfeng is like a real brother. (To be continued......)
