When he woke up the next day, Brother Long sent Qin Hao to the villa to pick up Meng Ran and go to Brother Long's company. Meng Ran washed up, changed into more formal clothes, got into the car, and went to Brother Long's company, Huaxia Longwei Film and Television Company. When he arrived at the place, he was led by Qin Hao to the large conference room. In the conference room, most of the crew of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" this time are already in place. They are all familiar faces, and they have worked together so many times, and Meng Ran greeted everyone familiarly, without any restraint.

As soon as they met, the person shook hands with Meng Ran and said enthusiastically, "Hello, Mr. Meng, I'm Tang Yue, my sister has been mentioning you to me, the first time we met, please take care of me." ”

Tang Yue? Sister-in-law? Meng Ran thought about it for a while, wasn't his sister the only entertainment reporter Tang Weiwei who was not sued by him! hurriedly said politely: "Hello Boss Tang, I have admired my name for a long time." Is Sister Ling okay lately? I have been friends with your company's actor Gu Yueshen for a long time, and I hope that Boss Tang will help introduce me. Tang Yue replied happily: "Sister She's okay, but I often think about visiting you and Miss Dimuti." Isn't it just a phone call for Mr. Meng to meet Gu Yue, hahaha..."

Brother Long looked at the two of them with a smile on his face, thinking, what is the relationship between the two of you? I heard your conversation through my sister, is my sister so powerful? Tang Yue, your sister's.

beckoning the two to sit down, Brother Long said with a smile: "Since everyone knows each other, then I won't say anything polite." Xiao Ran, Mr. Tang is also one of our investors this time..."Meng Ran nodded at Tang Yue after hearing this. Turning his face, Brother Long said to Tang Yue: "Mr. Tang, Meng Ran is also one of the investors this time, and as a shareholder of Jiayu Media, he also came to invest on behalf of Jiayu Media this time. Tang Yue was a little stunned when he heard this, when did this kid become a shareholder of Jiayu Media? Doesn't it mean that after Yang Xi and Dongyang divorced, they no longer believed in men, and even the secretaries and assistants around them were women? This fact does not match the rumors!

Brother Long continued: "The total investment of this movie is about 500 million, I will invest 200 million on behalf of Longwei Film and Television, Mr. Tang will invest 100 million on behalf of Tang Dynasty Film and Television, Meng Ran will invest 100 million on behalf of Jiayu Media, and Meng Ran will personally invest 100 million, so our total investment of 500 million is all together." In addition to this, we were approached by several companies with offers to sponsor the shoot. As long as we can use their products in the show. We chose four brands, one is the Jeep car brand, the adventure category, the car must be there. Agricultural mineral water, this is needless to say. Then there's the green-haired gum and the Warwick phone. After all, these can be integrated into the plot, and the four brands have sponsored a total of more than 60 million. So now the crew's funds are still richer. ”

"Now I'm going to talk about what to do if you go over budget during filming or post-production. If the budget is exceeded, new investors will be added, and the percentage of everyone's share will be reduced, whether everyone can accept it. ”

Meng Ran raised his hand very decisively and said: "In the future, if the budget is exceeded under the normal use of funds, I will make additional investments, about two to three hundred million, and similarly, my percentage will also be increased in proportion." If it's acceptable, I'm fine. ”

Brother Long looked at Tang Yue, and Tang Yue smiled admiringly: "Mr. Meng is worthy of being a rising business star, no wonder he has the courage to fight many heavily armed terrorists alone!" I admire! If Mr. Meng wants to make additional investment, then I will definitely have to make additional investment, and I also want to increase this percentage a little. If you make it, everyone will be happy, and if you lose it, you should make Mr. Meng a friend. However, I am not as trenched as Mr. Meng, and I will add up to 200 million. ”

Brother Long smiled and said, "It doesn't take so much, the situation I said will also happen in case it happens, normally it won't happen." Our funds are managed by banks and dedicated accounting personnel, so they must be sufficient. If you don't have any opinions, let's sign the contract. Funds can be remitted to the designated account within three days. After speaking, Brother Long nodded at Qin Hao, and Qin Hao put the four contracts that had been prepared on the side in front of the three of them.

Meng Ran and Tang Yue were both more careful, and the two of them read the contract carefully, made sure that there was no problem, and signed their names. Meng Ran also signed one more on behalf of Jiayu Media. Witnessed by the crew, the funds for this film have been gathered. Although it has not yet been remitted to the designated account, signing the contract is equivalent to the funds being in place. Then it will be ready to boot up soon. Next, everyone sat together and discussed the actors.

Chinese movies are different from movies in other places. It's a good bad dock over there, the director said that there is a movie, and the general theme is announced, the actors bring their resumes to the interview, and they think it's appropriate, and the director auditions for a script, and if it's suitable, stay it, and say goodbye if it's not suitable, it's very simple. The difference in Huaxia is that when everyone selects actors together, they have to consider traffic and fan base.

Originally, everyone thought that Meng Ran and Di Muti were the leading actors, but they didn't expect the two of them to stop acting this time, so who did this actor choose? When Tang Yue heard that Meng Ran and Di Muti would not participate in the show, he instantly regretted it. However, seeing Meng Ran's confident appearance, Tang Yue was a little more relieved.

Meng Ran saw that everyone had a headache in picking actors, and said to Tang Yue, "Why don't you recommend it?" There are countless capable people under Mr. Tang, do you want to help? Tang Yue said angrily: "What my company can do is Tiar, Mr. Meng, do you think it's okay?" ”

Hearing Tang Yue say this, Meng Ran remembered that Diar was indeed an artist under the Tang Dynasty. But what is so terrible about Meng Ran? He replied, "Of course I'm fine, but Mr. Tang, you're worried that Tiar will be poached by me, right?" Tang Yue didn't hide it at all and said: "That's certain!" Mr. Meng almost became Tiar's boyfriend... I'm so angry! If Mr. Meng is with Tiar, my Tang Dynasty will definitely be able to go to the next level! ”

Everyone present was stunned, they didn't expect such a show! Wonderful! It's Tang Yue's sister again, and Tiar's, this Meng Ran can, it's spicy to destroy flowers!

Meng Ran looked at the excited Tang Yue, smiled calmly and said: "That's all in the past, I recommend Tiar as the heroine without a trace of selfishness, it's all for the sake of the movie." The words of the male protagonist... I originally wanted Mr. Gu Yue to come, but Mr. Gu Yue's fighting and action scenes should be a short board... If you don't Brother Long, let's take a look and let Mr. Gu Yue try a play! After hearing this, Brother Long nodded, looked at Tang Yue and asked, "How is Mr. Tang?" Can Gu Yue try out? ”

Tang Yue naturally didn't have any opinions, so he called Gu Yue to talk about it, sent him a fragment of the script, and asked him to go to the company's studio to shoot a clip of the audition. After hanging up the phone, he called Tial again to tell her that Brother Long's new movie might use her as the heroine, and also sent a script clip for her to shoot an audition scene. Tiar, who received Tang Yue's call, thought that he was playing against Meng Ran, and jumped straight with joy. I heard Tang Yue say that Meng Ran and Di Muti would not participate in the show, and the joy went down halfway, and he said that he knew, hung up the phone and put on makeup to film.

The female No. 2 Meng Ran recommended Zixin and Zu Ning, the male protagonist recommended Wang Mian and Yunlong, and the male No. 2 recommended Zhan Yu. Those who know Meng Ran know that these are all Meng Ran's friends. Meng Ran also contacted them to let them audition, and waited for them to send the audition video after filming. Zhan Yu's second male son, in fact, Meng Ran wanted Zhan Yu to try to enter the circle. Meng Ran really wanted Zhan Yu to do something else, because Zhan Yu's ability was indeed very good, and he couldn't bury it like this.

The casting is actually almost here at this point, and the rest is the discussion of the plot. This drama is written by a screenwriter who is very famous in the industry for this kind of theme, to tell the truth, the movies and TV series he wrote with this kind of theme are not low at the box office and ratings, and Meng Ran also got up last night and this morning to come to Brother Long's place to take a cursory look. In fact, there is generally no problem with the script, the details can be slightly optimized, and the setting can be improved again.

The screenwriter listened carefully and was ready to go back and improve it. The coordination of various departments will be handed over to Brother Long, and the clothing is sponsored by Meng Ran's love D, which is not a problem. From morning to afternoon, everyone didn't feel hungry, they went to have a meal together, and after a few simple chats, everyone left. Tang Yue still had some things to deal with, said goodbye to everyone and went to the airport, and when he left, he made an appointment with Meng Ran to go to the magic capital to drink together.

When everyone was almost gone, Meng Ran got into Brother Long's car, and Qin Hao drove Meng Ran back. In the car, Meng Ran asked Brother Long: "Brother Long, I want to ask you, do you have any friends from the Hong Kong District Commerce and Economic Development Bureau, I have some business matters I would like to consult." Brother Long smiled and said, "Are you going to open your own brand to the port area?" Have you done market research and risk assessment? Business in Minato is not easy. Well... I really know a friend who is from the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau, and I will introduce her to you later. ”

Meng Ran explained: "Actually, it's because of this..."Meng Ran told Brother Long about the fake storefront, and Brother Long said with a dark face: "I didn't expect there to be such a thing in the port area!" Meng Ran took out his mobile phone and showed Brother Long the signboard of the store, the clothes in the store, and the comparison chart of the clothes in the store and the clothes of AiD. After reading it, Brother Long scolded shamelessly, took out his mobile phone and found the contact in the address book, ready to contact that friend to help Meng Ran. Qin Hao, who was driving the car, said quietly: "Brother Long, you don't have to make this call, if I guess correctly, the store in that place should be opened by the New Union, and the friend you are looking for should not be easy to solve." ”

As soon as he heard about the new union, Brother Long frowned and put away his mobile phone, and explained to Meng Ran, who was confused: "This new union is one of the associations in the port area, although now under the management of the Hong Kong government, the associations have basically disappeared, but there is still a gray space for the associations. This matter should be adjusted to the bosses of the New Union or the respected seniors and bigwigs of the Minato community. This thing..."

Meng Ran nodded understandingly, and said in his heart: "I understand, different games have different rules, I can understand this." I don't know if there are any rules in Minato called smashing the field, but I think it's fun to smash the field anyway, and I'll have a good meeting with them and see where the other party comes from..."

Brother Long was so frightened that he was about to speak, but Meng Ran hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, I'm not fighting with them, I'm not so stupid." I should still be able to contact the bigwigs of the Hong Kong community.,I really didn't expect the club to do such a tasteless thing as high imitation.,It's a little interesting.。 Qin Hao smiled, glanced at Meng Ran in the rearview mirror, and said: "The New Cooperative Society rarely makes mistakes, and it also sells pirated copies to make high-quality imitations or something, in fact, it is harmless, and it is rarely discovered, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you, the main owner, this time." ”

Meng Ran is happy, there are really not many clubs that don't get out of the way, but there is no one else who mixes clubs like this, it's not easy...
