At this time, there is still a period of time before the Golden Rooster Award, Li Mu's main focus is still on the promotion of "Demon Thieves", there will be about half a month of screening activities before the premiere of the movie, and the publicity team will hand the screening plan to Li Mu's desk, and after Li Mu nods and agrees, the team will start to act according to the plan.

In addition to the announcement and release of "Demon Thieves", the post-production work of "Interstellar" also needs Li Mu to keep an eye on at all times, and now the main part of Huashang's post-production department is still on the side of the magic capital, which is not very convenient to keep an eye on, Li Mu plans to transfer some of them to Beijing.

Huashang Media's own special effects team is also located in the magic capital, and the name of the team is more arbitrary, it is called "Li Mu Special Effects Studio", Li Mu plans to give it a serious name after the strength of the team develops.

At present, the team is still relatively weak in terms of scale and strength, although it is second to none in China, but compared with the world's top special effects companies such as industrial light and magic, digital field, and double negation, there is still a big gap.

Although Li Mu's special effects studio is Li Mu's own son, Li Mu will not stuff all the special effects contracts of his own movies into it, first, he can't do it because of his lack of strength, and second, Li Mu still tends to let it develop little by little, for fear that his steps will be too big and he will pull eggs.

At present, the majority of the special effects contracts for Huashang's own films are still given to internationally renowned special effects companies such as Industrial Light and Magic, Double Negation, etc., such as the small head and the relatively less difficult part, the proportion is about 10%, and it will be handed over to its own team.

Of course, this ratio is certainly not static, Li Mu will also decide to increase or decrease its share according to the growth of his own special effects team, and at the same time, the studio will also accept contracts from other film and television companies at home and abroad, mainly domestic film and television companies.

In addition to the announcement of "Demon Thieves" and the later stage of "Interstellar", Li Mu will occasionally care about the development of his own brokerage department.

Nowadays, Huashang not only has a large number of signed artists, but also has more fame than one.

The number one among its female artists must be Liu Yifei, there is no suspense in this, in addition, Huashang Wumei such as Yang Mi , Zhao Liying , Tong Liya , Liu Shishi , Bai Bing , etc., have basically covered the top of the post-80s generation in China, and almost like Di Lireba, Song Yi and others are also very strong.

In terms of male stars, Lei Jiayin is quite valued by Li Mu, and has starred in a number of key Huashang films one after another, Zhang Jiayi's uncle image Li Mu is handy to use, Shen Teng's contract is signed at the same time as Happy Twist, and Huashang Media is the second largest shareholder of Happy Twist.

In addition, such as Wang Kai, Chen Bi, Zhang Ruoyun, Wu Jing, Liu Haoran, Lin Gengxin, etc., the development momentum is also good, among which Liu Haoran was signed into Huashang when he starred in "Beijing City Love Story", and Lin Gengxin signed a contract with Huashang because of "Step by Step".

The above-mentioned people only account for a small part of all the artists in Huashang, and the strength of Huashang's brokerage part can be seen from this.

However, in fact, this is the result of Li Mu's deliberate control of the scale of the brokerage department, otherwise the Huashang brokerage department may be twice or even triple the current size.

Huashang's main business has always been in the production of film and television dramas, if the company's brokerage department is too large, it will inevitably distract Huashang Media's energy, and even delay Huashang's main business.

When any company invests in film and television dramas, it will first think of using its own artists, but the problem is that its own artists may not be the most suitable candidates, the brokerage department is too large, and it is inevitable that there will be a situation of using their own people for the sake of using their own people in the later stage, if the quality of film and television dramas is affected, the gains outweigh the losses.

Moreover, there are many people, and the balance of interests is also a big problem.

This day happened to be the monthly meeting of the brokerage department of Huashang Media, and Li Mu listened as usual.

In the conference room, there were more than 20 brokers alone, plus the main personnel of other departments, and there were nearly 30 people gathered in the entire conference room.

The meeting was presided over by Chen Zhixi, and the main content was to summarize the gains and losses of the artist's work in the previous stage, plan the focus of the artist's work in the next stage, analyze the characteristics and development ideas of each of its artists, brainstorm, and find a suitable personality for their respective artists.

The agency has to set up a person for the artist to show the artist's truest self? The idea is very beautiful, the reality will be taught to be a person, the artist is also an ordinary person, and there will be all kinds of problems, there will be a smell if you don't take a bath, and there will be various means for the superior.

Generously display these most real, even the truths that many people can't accept? Don't be funny, no company can be so naïve.

Also, the work of an agent does not mean that you take a certain artist, just study the situation of this one artist, no, at least at the internal conference, the development ideas of each artist under the company need all agents to discuss together.

Of course, the agent who cares most about a certain artist is of course the one who brings the artist.

Today's process is still the same as usual, first Chen Zhixi asked the agent of an artist, the recent development of the artist he led, the announcement, the endorsement, etc., and after the relevant agent introduced the recent basic situation of his artist, everyone held a meeting to discuss.

Tong Liya, Bai Bing, Zhao Liying, Wang Kai, Chen Bi, Liu Shishi, these discussed one by one, and before I knew it, more than an hour passed, and then it was Di Lire's turn.

Let's first introduce the latest basic situation by the agent of the hot bar, because of Li Mu's care, the hot bar has played a large number of supporting roles and even dragon roles in Huashang's film and television dramas.

"To Youth", "Send You a Little Red Flower", "Flower Thousand Bone", "The Biography of Chu Qiao", "The Promotion of the Crown Princess", "Palace Lock Bead Curtain", etc., can be seen in many film and television dramas of Huashang, although there are not too many scenes, but its distinctive personal characteristics and extremely high appearance have left a very deep impression on the audience.

The supporting roles are brilliant and their popularity is rising, which has led to more and more calls from fans to arrange a drama for them as soon as possible.

After that, everyone discussed the follow-up development of the hot bar, Chen Zhixi attached great importance to the hot bar and was willing to let it try it, but everyone discussed and discussed, but they couldn't think of a project suitable for her for a while.

The exotic face of the hot bar is too strong, which is of course her biggest advantage in a certain aspect, but many times this advantage also happens to be her biggest disadvantage.

The distinctive exotic characteristics must limit her acting path, so it is really not so easy to find a drama that suits her.

In the process, everyone mentioned "Why Sheng Xiaomo", mentioned "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", and also mentioned "A Smile is Alluring", but they discussed and discussed, and finally felt that it would be more appropriate for him to continue to play a supporting role.

"Let's talk about the hot bar later, at this stage, Yang Mi will continue to take her, after the completion of "Ancient Sword and Strange Tan", the company will launch the "Why Sheng Xiaomo" project, the heroine uses Yang Mi We have just discussed, in this drama, we will arrange a supporting role for the hot bar first." Chen Zhixi concluded.

"The Legend of the Ancient Sword" is not a project of Huashang, but now the brokerage department of Huashang includes most of the top post-80s generation in China, and it is difficult for other companies to completely bypass Huashang if they want to film.

The agents in the office nodded when they heard this, only the agent of the hot bar was inexplicably disappointed, it can be said that the hot bar is currently the actress with the best development momentum outside of Huashang Wumei, if she can develop into a new top class in her own hands, then this well-known qualification can even make the agent eat for half his life.

It's a pity that the last thing is still over, at least it seems that there is no drama for the time being.

Li Mu didn't speak much in today's meeting, because he is self-aware, and he may have a certain advantage in the general direction in terms of developing artists, after all, he has seen too many hype methods in later generations, but once it comes to the specific operation level, every dozens of people in front of him are basically more professional than him.

When he returned to the office after the meeting, Li Mu was still thinking about the arrangement for the hot bar just now, and it was not completely impossible to choose a drama suitable for the hot bar, but it was indeed a little difficult to choose one of them that was very outstanding.

The original work of "You Are My Glory" has not yet been written, if Li Mu writes it himself, it seems that it is not appropriate to write this kind of work in his current capacity.

"Three Lives and Three Worlds Pillow Book", now even "Three Lives and Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" has not been filmed.

The evaluation of "Carat Lovers" is quite low, and Li Mu is not very satisfied.

Just when Li Mu didn't have a clue, assistant Liang Bing suddenly told Li Mu that there were a few Koreans who wanted to see Li Mu, and after careful inquiry, they found out that the person who came was from South Korea's SBS TV.

"South Korea's SBS TV? Have we worked together before? ”

"There have been some business dealings, but the scale is very small, and it should not be enough to let them come to the door in person."

"And what are they doing this time?"

"Someone came and asked for an interview with you, the chairman."

Li Mu thought about it, and finally nodded and agreed: "Let's arrange it, the time will be set at three o'clock in the afternoon." ”

"Okay."

It stands to reason that the current Li Mu is not someone who can see him if he wants to, especially since the other party is still a Korean who has little intersection with Huashang Company, but thinking that the other party has traveled thousands of miles to Beijing, Li Mu is also willing to take a little time to meet the other party.

This time, the team leader from the South Korean side is surnamed Zhang, named Zhang Taiwei, and there is also a woman named Park Ji-eun.

Because Li Mu's Korean level is limited to the level of understanding simple words such as "Oba" and "Assi", the company also temporarily found two translators who understand Korean.

Office.

"Director Li, hello, I'm Zhang Dawei, I can see Director Li today, I am fortunate to have three lives."

"You're welcome, please take a seat."

"Okay."

If it weren't for this person's full mouth of Korean, Li Mu would have to treat the other party as an RB person, looking at his bent waist, he would not be far behind the RB person.

But the woman named Park Ji-eun is neither humble nor arrogant.

"The reason why we took the liberty to disturb Director Li this time is that in addition to the fact that I particularly admire Director Li and have the idea of seeing Director Li a long time ago, I also have a very presumptuous request."

"You say!"

"That's right, Director Li, when I first saw the TV series "You from the Stars" written by Director Li himself, I was already amazed by this drama, and since then, the idea of adapting this drama into a Korean version has begun to take root in my mind, and today I finally mustered up the courage to come to see Director Li in person, just to be able to convince Director Li to get the authorization to adapt this drama."

"This is the top screenwriter of our SBS TV station." Saying that, Zhang Taiwei looked at the female Korean, "I believe that with her, we will never insult Director Li's classic." ”

Only then did Li Mu know that these Koreans came to ask for the adaptation rights of "You from the Star", but it is impossible for anyone in this world to know that "You from the Star" was originally supposed to be a Korean TV series except Li Mu himself.

Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn't help but look at the female Korean, and searched for this person's information in his mind while looking at it.

Remember that when I first introduced myself, this person claimed to be Park Ji-eun - this is the original screenwriter of "You from the Star"?

"I know that Director Li's "You from the Star" is a very classic, if you authorize us, maybe Director Li will worry that we will ruin this classic if we don't remake it well, but please rest assured that Director Li has first-class screenwriting skills, and with her, there will definitely be no problem with the adaptation."

After the translator translated the other party's words, Li Mu fell into thought.

In fact, Li Mu is not worried that this so-called SBS TV station will make "You from the Star" as garbage, the same script, the Korean version of garbage is not more illustrative of the Huashang version?

On the contrary, he was inexplicably a little worried that the other party would shoot the remake too well.

Now the Douban score of the Huashang version of "You from the Star" is 8.6 points, if the Korean version is released in the future, the Douban score will be 8.8 or even higher, where do you let Li Mu and Huashang's faces swing at that time?

"Director Li, we really, really like this story, please give us this opportunity, the price is negotiable."

Li Mu suddenly thought of something: "You guys are from SBS TV?" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Taiwei said.

Li Mu couldn't help but ponder.

According to the information in his mind, in 2010, South Korea's SBS TV longevity program "Sunday is so good" launched a new program called "Running Man", unlike most variety shows in the past that were recorded in the studio, the reality show mode of "Running Men" with the city as the background is particularly fresh and prominent, so it quickly became popular in South Korea.

In the original timeline, by 2014, this program will be introduced to China by Zhejiang Provincial Satellite TV, which is later the famous "Run, Brother".

Huashang Media's main business must be the production of movies and TV series, and Li Mu never had the idea of making a reality show before, but now that someone from SBS TV has taken the initiative to come to the door, and the other party happens to be the producer and copyright owner of the predecessor program of "Run, Brother", Li Mu suddenly had the idea of getting involved.

Thinking of the meeting of the company's brokerage department today, I thought that I really didn't have a very good resource in my mind, and it was suitable for the hot bar, to be honest, the hot bar is a good top stream, but not an excellent and malleable actor, maybe it is the best and most suitable choice for her to let her embark on the traffic route of the previous life as soon as possible.

And to follow the route of her previous life, it is obvious that "Run, Brother" will be a very good choice.

"If we introduce the program "Running Brother" and let the hot bar replace Yang Ying in the previous life, by the way, Lin Gengxin is also his own artist, so that at least two of the resident guests of "Running Brother" are from their own families, so they should be held in their own hands."

Thinking of this, Li Mu smiled: "SBS TV has done a very good job, especially the "Running Man" program, I have been watching it for a long time, and I have long intended to introduce it to China, but now it is a coincidence, we haven't gone to look for you, but you have come to the door first!" ”
