Chapter 367: Speculation is behind the scenes

After Song Mu explained the role of the imperial guard, a trace of decline flashed on Mao Yongyi's face, but this expression lasted for a short time, and he covered it up very well, so Song Mu didn't notice it.

She happily continued to introduce Mao Yongyi: "Yes, yes, it is said that this family's imperial guard can be effective, don't you have a bad heart recently, I hope it can bless your health, and provide us with a gust of wind and a gust of rain." ”

Hearing Song Mu's words, Mao Yongyi laughed directly: "Okay, you little Song, people give gifts to pick up good words, and the purpose is to be as tactful as possible; It's good that you blatantly state your purpose, aren't you afraid that I'll be unhappy? ”

The smile on Song Mu's face also became more and more intense: "Good my collar. Guide, do you finally smile so heartily, like you will be unhappy because of this person? ”

Mao Yongyi stretched out his hand and pointed at her twice, and then scolded with a smile: "You have to learn to be steady all day long with crooked reasoning and heresies, you know?" ”

"I'm still young, why should I learn to be steady?" Song Mu blinked: "With you, an old comrade, a good leader. The guide is here, where can I get my turn to be stable? ”

"Alas...... I'm afraid I won't last as long as I imagined......" Mao Yongyi suddenly sighed, and then the expression on his face showed a hint of loneliness.

"Collar. Guide? Seeing this, Song Mu finally put away his smile, and at this time, if he still feels that there is no problem, then Song Mu is no different from a single-celled animal: "Are you in trouble again?" Well? Why should I say again? ”

Mao Yongyi: "......"

He looked like he wanted to say something, and only after a moment did he say with difficulty: "Let's not talk about me for now, I came to you to tell you that "The Truman Show" is in trouble. ”

"The Truman Show?" Song Mu couldn't help frowning.

"The Truman Show" is said to have entered the final stage of production, the first cut of the film has been given to Shangfeng, and he was even notified of the opportunity to represent China and participate in the competition for the best foreign language film at the Little Golden Man Awards. It's been smooth sailing, why did something suddenly happen?

Mao Yongyi was so anxious to go to the elite group to wander around, and when he heard that he was back, he was about to see him immediately, and then looked at the mountains of cigarette butts in the ashtray, and thought about the second-hand smoke that had just filled the house......

If something happens to "The Truman Show," it's obviously not a small situation.

"That's right, it's The Truman Show." Mao Yongyi nodded vigorously: "Two days ago, I reported to Shangfeng that the final editing of "The Truman Show" is about to be completed, and it will be sent to them next week at the latest. Who knew that the answer I got was that I didn't have to send it over, and said that "The Truman Show" not only did not have the opportunity to participate in the Little Golden Man Awards, but also might be banned from the show......"

Hearing this, Song Mu's head suddenly "buzzed", from the beginning of the project to the present, "The Truman Show" has attracted dozens of sponsors, large and small, and the sponsorship fee involved is even more astronomical. If "The Truman Show" is banned, what will happen to these sponsorship fees?

If it is not returned, can these dozens of companies agree? But if you want to pay it back, where will you get the money that has been spent to make "The Truman Show"?

What frightens Song Mu the most is that the idea of making "The Truman Show" was completely her idea! At that time, she came up with "The Truman Show" in order to help the studio and help Mao Yongyi get out of financial difficulties; And now, if "The Truman Show" is banned from theaters, the studio may be directly doomed!

"For ...... Why is this happening? Affected by emotions, Song Mu stumbled a little when he spoke.

Mao Yongyi sighed: "I asked Lao Liangtou in private, although he didn't say it explicitly, but he kept hinting at me in and out of his words, meaning that someone wanted to move me." He didn't say who this person was. ”

"Is it moving you, or is it moving the studio?" Song Mu immediately confirmed to Mao Yongyi.

In her opinion, targeting Mao Yongyi and targeting the studio are completely two different concepts. Because of the different goals, she guessed that the direction of the behind-the-scenes commanders would be different.

"Is there a difference between the two?" Mao Yongyi asked puzzled.

"Of course there is a difference," Song Mu first told Mao Yongyi her thoughts, afraid that she would not understand enough, so she gave an example: "For example, Director Jiao, who left our factory, although he doesn't care much about the studio, his main target is definitely you and me." He would never make too outrageous moves against the studio itself, after all, his purpose is to sit in your chair;

"For example, the direct competitors of The Truman Show, they don't have a personal vendetta against you, so they don't need to target you primarily. They just have a conflict of interest with our factory's product "The Truman Show", so their main target is naturally our factory and our factory's products, as for you and me, it is estimated that we will try our best not to offend ......"

With Song Mu's careful explanation, Mao Yongyi had a feeling that Mao was suddenly opened. He subconsciously lit a cigarette and tried to remember it as he smoked it.

It wasn't until a cigarette was completely smoked that he snuffed out the cigarette butt on the cigarette butt mountain in the ashtray that he came back to his senses and said to Song Mu: "I carefully recalled what Lao Liangtou said to me that day, and I felt ...... Both. ”

"......" Song Mu couldn't help but frown, and she confirmed to Mao Yongyi again: "You said, the two ...... Both?! Does both, mean, is there a force that is targeting you and our factory? Or are there two different forces that are targeting you and our factory? ”

"Yes, both." Mao Yongyi first took the trouble to affirm Song Mu's first question, and then patiently answered her subsequent question: "It's not good to say at the moment, I feel that there is a high probability that there should be two different forces, but it is not ruled out that there is only one force."

"Let's calculate according to two forces first: against me, it is estimated that nine times out of ten it is still Lao Jiao; For the studio or "The Truman Show," I haven't guessed the direction for a while. ”

"Could it be ...... over there in "Lotus Town"?" Song Mu asked tentatively.

If you want to talk about competitors, she immediately thought of "Lotus Town".

Although "The Truman Show" is a feature-length animated film, and "Lotus Town" is a movie in the traditional sense, in Song Mu's mind, there is no other organization that can produce a domestic feature-length animated film that can compete with "The Truman Show" except for the elite group.

Since it's not an animated film, it can only be a movie.

"The Truman Show" has not been planned to be released in China so far, who will have a hard time with "The Truman Show" and watch "The Truman Show"?

After thinking about it, there is only one possibility, that is, to compete with "The Truman Show" for the quota of representatives of the Chinese country and participate in the "Lotus Town" of the Little Golden Man Awards.

However, Mao Yongyi shook his head firmly and said, "It's not them. ”

"Why are you so sure?" Song Mu asked puzzled.

"Because they have more lawsuits than our "The Truman Show." Speaking of this, Mao Yongyi actually showed another smile.

In the following time, he told Song Mu about the ups and downs of "Lotus Town".

It turned out that Lotus Town was preparing to release it before the year, and their plan was to conduct test screenings in big cities such as the imperial capital and Haishi first, and then promote it to the whole country step by step.

However, with the expansion of the scope of the test screening, the majority of people have more and more criticism of this movie. Some people feel that it discredits the Chinese system and should be banned directly.

Fortunately, the director made a quick decision, and while stopping the test screening as soon as possible, he also deleted many of the criticized scenes at once.

After the deletion, it was not released in a hurry, but was sent to the imperial capital by the Haishi Film Bureau for exhibition, and the result was ...... was directly banned again......

""Lotus Town" is now worried that it will not be released in China, and it is busy from top to bottom, where is there any little golden man in the air control?" Mao Yongyi had a smile on his face, and Song Mu didn't know if this was schadenfreude, or if he simply felt that it was a coke: "I heard Lao Liangtou mention that they supported "Lotus Town", but they still have a peak above them, so they are now thinking about whether they can let "Lotus Town" be released, but the leading actors are not allowed to attend the premiere, so as to express their position and see if they can get mixed up." ”

"......" Song Mu suddenly felt a little speechless, but after thinking about it carefully, this routine was really something that Old Man Liang could come up with, "Old Man Liang...... Sir won't mess up, will he? ”

"Old Liang has no bottom! According to the meaning of his words that day, it is a matter of success or not. If it happens, "Lotus Town" will be released safely, if it doesn't work, I'm afraid that going to foreign countries to participate in the award will also be directly banned. So he didn't dare to call the shots, saying that he let the director of "Lotus Town" consider it himself. ”

Mao Yongyi smiled even more happily, Song Mu was sure, Ling. The guide is not schadenfreude, or it is not schadenfreude for "Lotus Town". He should simply laugh at Liang Guangqi......

Song Mu laughed a few times, and then his face showed sadness again: "If it's not "Lotus Town", who else can it be......?" ”

Mao Yongyi also smiled: "Yes...... Who is it? ”

The two sat there frowning and pondering, and after a long time, Mao Yongyi suddenly slammed the table.

Song Mu was shocked back to her senses by a sound, she couldn't help but shiver, and then realized that the window in the house seemed to have been open for a long time, and if there was no result, she was afraid that she would really catch a cold.

looked at Mao Yongyi with expectant eyes, who knew that Mao Yongyi did not come up with the candidate who was behind the scenes, but remembered other things: "Hey, we have to find out who is doing what?" ”

"Huh?" Song Mu couldn't help but be stunned, "Why didn't you ask me to come if you weren't looking for someone?" ”

"I just think you have a lot of ghost ideas, and I want you to think of a way for me to see if I can make "The Truman Show" not be banned!" Mao Yongyi looked at Song Mu like a stupid son: "There have been a lot of things targeting me and our factory over the years, do you know who targets us and can solve it?" No, I can't! They love to target, we still have to find a way first, so that "The Truman Show" can be released safely! ”

Song Mu: "......"

If only you had to say it earlier! Is there a subsidy for killing so many brain cells in vain?!
