Chapter 230: The road is narrow

Then Meng Wen released the novel to be released today in advance on everyone's social networking, so he prepared and set off with Ouyang Die to Beijing, and Wang Ting and Xun Hanlei This time, I heard that Meng Wen was going to talk to Tang Huan about things at night, and it was likely that he would not be able to come back, so he didn't follow the fun, and the two couldn't help anyway.

Because considering that Meng Wen had to sign in the afternoon, Ouyang Die took the initiative to take on the task of driving, and let Meng Wen rest more in order to prepare for the afternoon battle. When Meng Wen and the two arrived in Beijing, the journey was relatively smooth, and the time was just over 10 o'clock. Meng Wen saw that it was still early, so he simply let Ouyang Die drive to Tang Huan's company. It should also be to go to his own company for inspection, after all, the investment he invested in every day is upstairs of Tang Huan Tianxing Entertainment Company.

Meng Wen didn't inform Tang Huan before, he thought that Tang Huan's company would surprise Tang Huan, but he didn't expect Tang Huan to give him a surprise first. As soon as Tang Huan saw Meng Wenmian, he didn't wait for Meng Wen to speak, so he said directly: "Oh, Long Shao, I was about to call you, but I didn't expect you to come." ”

"It's not too late for me to come, right?" Meng Wen looked at his watch and said, "Is there something wrong?"

"Yes, this morning Kuying held a press conference, in order to cater to the current trend of online dramas, they specially set up a self-made team of Kuying, and Kuying invested 300 million to shoot five online dramas in 2 years. said that it is necessary to break the current status quo of low cost, rough pictures, vulgarity and spoofing of online dramas. It is necessary to lead the web drama to a new peak. ”

"Oh, they're quite ambitious, but they're really willing to put in it, and they really see that they have money. 300 million to shoot five online dramas, oops, our entire website only used 300 million, it's really incomparable. Meng Wen said in amazement.

"Don't talk cool here, we watched it every day before, just like thinking about finding another way, and being able to get closer to Cool Shadow in the online drama. Now that people have seen this business opportunity, they will take out 300 million at once, what should we do?" Tang Huan said.

"I'm a small shareholder, the key is to have Mr. Tang's idea" Meng Wen said with a smile, but seeing that Tang Huan was really a little anxious, Meng Wen stopped joking, and said a little sternly: "Online dramas don't say that whoever spends more money is good, the key is this, idear." Meng Wen said, pointing to his temples.

"That's the truth, but ......"

"Oops, I said Brother Tang. Since Kuying wants to take the boutique route, then he is bound to not pay enough attention to those low-cost online dramas made by himself, this is our opportunity. ”

"Opportunity?" Tang Huan vaguely felt as if he had grasped the essence of Meng Wen's words.

"yes, chance. Kuying takes the boutique route, thinking about winning by quality. Then let's take the low-cost route and win by quantity. We don't even have to be involved in the shooting. As long as we set up an award, we will attract those low-cost online dramas with the theme of supporting young people who have the dream of directing and achieving tomorrow's stars. It's definitely rewarding. ”

"What you said makes sense, but how do I feel that we are a little willing to degenerate, we are on the road of small cost, one road to the next, I always feel that this is not a long-term solution. Tang Huan expressed his concerns.

"You're right, high-cost refining zuò is the mainstream direction of online dramas in the future, but now we don't have that money. It is better to go down the trail now than to have no way out. Besides, we are now in the initial period of the website, mainly to enrich the content and attract traffic, so as to attract venture capital to sell at a good price, and when we have money, we will talk about other things. And people's power is infinite, maybe there will be one or two good online dramas in these low-cost online dramas?"

After Meng Wen finished speaking, as if in order to be more convincing, he began to take himself as an example, "Just like my "Waste Wood Brothers", it's not also a small cost, and it is estimated that no one can believe that a small online drama can achieve such results." But as a result, the small-cost "Scrap Wood Brothers" is no worse than those with a large cost. Although Kuying said it is quite mysterious, as soon as it came up, it invested 300 million yuan to shoot five films, but it would be good for them to have one or two films that surpassed my "Waste Wood Brothers". Meng Wen said that he was obviously a little proud at the end.

"They have indeed been comparing Long Shao with you this time? It is estimated that after the afternoon meeting, there will inevitably be reporters to conduct interviews, so Long Shao, you must also be mentally prepared. Tang Huan heard Meng Wen talking about himself and reminded.

The first of the three stops of the book launch conference prepared by Meng Wen is more formal, and it is indeed a new book launch. But from the second stop in Beijing to the third stop in Haicheng, it is a little inappropriate to call the book launch, after all, the characters that should be said and invited have been done in the first stop, and the next two stops are the most appropriate to call the meeting.

And the form is much simpler than the first stop, removing those messy speech links, at most it is to ask Liu Qian and Yuan Xiaoqing to show up on the spot, and the formal link is two parts, that is, the simple interaction between Meng Wen and book fans, and the signature. As for the reporter's questions or anything, they were all exempted, and those who should have asked were asked yesterday, and those who could be answered were answered, and there was no trick in asking again.

Meng Wen is the most loveless for reporters, and he was quite happy to see that the second stop of the plan will exempt reporters from asking questions. Now that such a topic suddenly popped up, Meng Wen thought about it himself, is it strange that those reporters can let him go? Just take it as an expansion of influence for himself, Meng Wen can only comfort himself in this way.

"What did they say about me?" Meng Wen heard that Kuying actually compared himself, although he knew that Kuying couldn't say anything good about himself, he still couldn't help but be a little curious.

"What good things can they say, that you have caught up with good luck, that there are no tigers in the mountains, and that the monkey is the king. Tang Huan said.

"Hmph, they also call themselves tigers, even if they are tigers, in front of my Monkey King, tigers are no different from sick cats, and they are all beaten to death. Meng Wen said unceremoniously.

"What Monkey King? and beaten to death with a stick?" Tang Huan looked at Meng Wen strangely.

Only then did Meng Wen remember that the world had deviated from his previous history since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and miraculously overlapped in modern times. Even in the different dynastic process between the Tang Dynasty and modern times, many of the same characters still appeared. But the four great masterpieces of the previous life have disappeared. Like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" are all works of the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, while "Journey to the West" is a work of the Ming Dynasty, and "Dream of Red Mansions" only came out in the Qing Dynasty. And the history of this world just lacks the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

Without "Journey to the West", since there is no legend of Monkey King. When Meng Wen first learned that there were no four famous works in this world, he really had a strong impulse to write the four famous works by himself. However, after Meng Wen thought about it, he still gave up, and the reason why the four famous novels became the four famous novels was because of the era in which he was located. To say that they are classics is to say that they carry the cultural heritage and influence on generations.

"Ah, Monkey King is a character I once fantasized about, a particularly powerful monkey. Meng Wen explained a little and began to return to the topic, and gradually became interested in Cool Shadow's plan, and asked, "Then do they have any specific plans, wouldn't that be the case?"

When Tang Huan heard Meng Wen's question, there was a trace of hesitation on his face, and he was stunned for a moment before he said: "They announced the filming plan for the first online drama at the meeting. ”

"Oh, what's the content, when will the filming start?"

"said that he was going to shoot a youth inspirational web comedy, and even the actors had already been found. Tang Huan said this, and deliberately glanced at Meng Wen, who was a little inexplicable, and then continued: "Among them are Zhou Haoda and Wang Lianhai." Tang Huan knew all about the grievances between Meng Wen and Wang Lianhai's family, and when he first planned to cooperate with Meng Wen, Tang Huan deliberately investigated Meng Wen.

"Who?, Zhou Haoda and Wang Lianhai?" Meng Wen was really shocked by Tang Huan's news, not only because Zhou Haoda openly stood on the opposite side of him, but also because of Wang Lianhai, the former squad leader. Meng Wen found that the two of them really had a bit of a feud in their previous lives, and Wang Lianhai could be seen everywhere.

"They have invested hundreds of millions of funds, so they invite such a person?" Meng Wen said disdainfully, "I can still understand Zhou Haoda, after all, he is still a little famous now." That Wang Lianhai, does he know how to act? Just like this, they still want to lead the online drama to climb to the peak, just don't fall to death. Meng Wen said in the end, he was a little mean, he was really angry at what Wang Lianhai had done to him.

"They still have a few more powerful actors, don't these two have anything to do with you? As for Wang Lianhai being able to play a role, it is probably because of his brother-in-law and father, right?"

"His father?" Meng Wen became more and more confused the more he listened.

"Ah, you don't know, his father has joined the Cool Shadow Company, and it seems that he works as an administrator in the company. It is said that the Cool Shadow self-made team established this time was organized by his father Wang Zhengming and that Zhao Fang. ”

"Hehe......" Meng Wen laughed a little weirdly, and said, "It's really a narrow road." With just these few people, if I don't come forward to make trouble, isn't it a little bit of a shame to give them face?"

Tang Huan heard what Meng Wen meant, and said with some compliments: "As long as Long Shao comes out, they all have to stand aside." ”

This is also the reason why Tang Huan deliberately pointed out these people to Meng Wen, just thinking that Meng Wen can go out of the mountain, don't keep staring at his novels. Tang Huan was extremely looking forward to seeing Meng Wen's bold words when he first cooperated with Meng Wen.
