Chapter 8 Registered Company
"What do you think of this kid?"
After Li Mu left, Yang Shoucheng asked.
Tang Jili replied: "Judging from the storyboard he drew, the director has solid basic skills. It seems that he has worked hard. He has this skill at this age. If there is no famous teacher to guide him, it will be like what he said. He just often goes to Xiying to play. , it has reached this level after hearing and seeing it, so it can only be said that Xiying Studio has a profound heritage."
Cheng Long said: "Ao, when facing us, we are completely equal, and sometimes it may make people feel uncomfortable."
Yang Shoucheng smiled and said, "Is this a compliment or a criticism?"
Cheng Long said: "When I first came out, the director asked me to imitate Li Xiaolong, and I was always laughed at for being unreliable. I am not Li Xiaolong myself, why should I be the second of Li Xiaolong? If you want to do it, just be yourself, be Cheng Long! Back then Some people thought I was too proud and waited to see me fall, and I told myself at the time that it was okay to break a rib, but not to fall.”
"If Cheng Long didn't become famous back then, he deserved to be scolded. If he became famous, many people would praise him. The same is true for him. Cheng Long said the same thing back then. Someone who praises, lies at home and sleeps after saying something beautiful, deserves to be scolded, whether it is a compliment or a criticism, it is up to him."
Yang Shoucheng laughed and said, "Comparing him with his young self, you think highly of him!"
……
In the next few days, Western Film Group, Cheng Long, Yang Shoucheng, Li Mu and other parties met many times. They conducted rounds of consultations on the specific details of cooperation, and finally reached a basic agreement. cooperation intention.
First of all, Li Mu's request must have been met, which is one of the basic conditions for the cooperation to be reached.
Secondly, the film investment will increase to 6000 million, of which Cheng Long's remuneration alone takes up a large part, which even gives Li Mu the idea of simply getting 50 in remuneration. In this era, 6000 million investment, Recovering costs is not easy.
But this is just a complaint in his heart about Brother Cheng Long's high salary. It is impossible for him to give up the opportunity he has won so hard.
Naturally, the director must be appointed by Cheng Long and Yinghuang, but the candidate must also be approved by Xiying Film Studio; similarly, there is also a producer candidate, Xiying Film Studio will send someone, but must be approved by Cheng Long and Yinghuang.
During the negotiations, Yang Shoucheng regretted more than once that Liang Luoshi could not be allowed to play the role of Cheng Long's daughter.Liang Luoshi was born in 1988 and just turned 16 this year. He joined Yinghuang in 2000, and Yang Shoucheng valued him very much.
Li Mu knew this woman. Just this year, Liang Luoshi had officially debuted, and the scene was unprecedented.Yinghuang held a press conference for her with 26 banquet tables. In front of high-level executives such as Xincheng, Commercial Station, and Cable, Yinghuang even declared that Liang Luoshi would be "Zhang Baizhi's successor."
Of course, the prospect of "Taken" is very promising, so Yang Shucheng really hoped that his family would be able to play the role of Cheng Long's daughter, but in the end he had no choice but to give up.
The reason for giving up is also very simple, it is to make the film comply with the provisions of the CEPA agreement.
According to the CEPA agreement between the Mainland and Hong Kong signed in June 2003, the annual quota of 6 co-produced films between Hong Kong and the Mainland has been officially cancelled. From now on, as long as they pass the inspection procedures in the Mainland, co-productions can be released in the Mainland theaters.
However, according to regulations, if a co-production film wants to be treated as a "domestic film", it must meet the condition that the proportion of the main actors in the mainland should not be less than one-third of the total number of main actors.
Once the conditions are met, Xiangjiang films can enjoy the same preferential policies as domestic films, without having to compete for the poor number of imported films, and without having to endure low and scary buyout prices.
You know, in the past, Xiangjiang films entered the mainland market mainly through a one-time payment buyout method. After the transaction, all the income of the film in the mainland has nothing to do with Xiangjiang.
And the buyout price will naturally not be so high.
This is also the reason why Xiangjiang directors such as Wang Jing always use Hong Kong actors to match mainland actresses when they go north to shoot films.
If Cheng Long is chosen as the male lead, of course the female lead can no longer use Xiangjiang's actors, but the female lead can.Therefore, Emperor proposed that an actress under its banner should play the role of the actress at the beginning of the film.
That is, at the beginning of the film, the protagonist accepts the protection mission to protect the actress.
It's a small role, but it's important.It appears at the beginning of the movie, and it appears again at the end of the movie. In the end, the protagonist wants to send his daughter to learn singing from this character.There are scenes at the beginning and end of the film, which is already a good role relatively speaking.
What's even more rare is that this role is set to be a popular female singer, so it's a tailor-made fit for a female singer under Yinghuang's banner to play the role.
At present, there is a pair of very popular singing groups under Yinghuang's banner--Twins. According to Yang Shucheng, this role will be played by one of the Twins.
Neither Xiying nor Li Mu had any objection to this.
As for the candidate for the heroine, no matter whether it is Xiying, Cheng Long, or Yang Shoucheng, there are no suitable candidates for the time being. I don't want to live for myself and even have to intervene in everything.
Moreover, Cheng Long's main focus is still on the movie "Myth". There is still some time before "Taken" officially starts, and the question of the heroine is not in a hurry.
After the matter was basically settled, Cheng Long led the crew to go to the lava cave in Jiuxiang, Tiannan Province to film.
……
In the evening, Li Mu, his father Li Yuansheng, his mother Liu Xiaohui, and his uncle Liu Xiaowu discussed the name of the new company together.
In the future, Li Mu will participate in various film and television investments, purchase the copyrights of novels with potential in advance, and even invest in film and television dramas by himself, and maybe sign a few potential newcomers. All these make the registered company an indispensable part.
"I think it's called 'Qinhuang'. Isn't Yang Shoucheng's company called Yinghuang? Look how big Boss Yang's business is." The old uncle Liu Xiaowu said.
"If you want me to say it is called 'Tianying', the six major domestic film groups - Beijing Film, Shanghai Film, Changying, Zhuying, Eying, Xiying, and our 'Tianying' will be added in the future. It can become bigger and stronger." Liu Xiaohui said with a smile.
Li Mu said: "If I want to say it, I can call it 'Xing Mu', or 'Mu Guang', or 'Making Sunshine'."
The new company will be Li Mu's career in the future, and Li Mu still hopes that the company name will have a stronger connection with himself.
Unexpectedly, his proposal was unanimously opposed by his parents and uncle.
"'Xing Mu', 'Mu Guang'? No, no, no, people thought they were selling bathroom products when they heard it." The old uncle shook his head first.
Liu Xiaohui nodded in agreement with her younger brother and said, "Xiao Wu is right. You said these guys are just 'bathing in the sun'. It doesn't sound like they sell bathrooms."
Li Yuansheng nodded in agreement with his wife and brother-in-law: "It does sound like a bathroom seller."
Li Mu was speechless. Why did the name he thought of sound like a bathroom seller? Don't these people know what to do?
Who named him Li Mu?
Finally, Li Yuansheng took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to his wife Liu Xiaohui. Li Mu and Liu Xiaowu also went over to look at it, and saw the word "Hua Shang" written on the paper.
At this time, Li Yuansheng said: "At present, the most prosperous entertainment company in China is the 'Huayi Brothers' of the Wang Brothers. One of the world's largest film and TV entertainment production companies has a 'Warner Brothers'. Among the world's top luxury brands, there is A 'Valentino', I think your company is called 'Hua Shang Media'."
Liu Xiaohui smacked for a moment and said, "'Hua Shang' sounds fine, but I still think it sounds better when called 'Tianying'."
Liu Xiaowu continued: "Brother-in-law, Xiao Mu, now I also think 'Tianying' sounds better."
Li Mu followed up: "Dad, I think 'Zhengbu Sunshine' and 'Tianying' are both good, especially since the word Tian has a plosive sound, which makes it more powerful when read."
At this time, Li Yuansheng calmly said to Liu Xiaohui: "'Hua Shang' is the name I specially entrusted someone to approve for Li Mu."
Then he also said the name of a so-called master. Unexpectedly, as soon as this name came out, Liu Xiaohui immediately changed his position.
"Now that I hear it, 'Hua Shang' sounds better. The name given by the master is naturally better."
Well, the name of Li Muxin's company has been decided - Huashang Media Co., Ltd.

Tang Jili replied: "Judging from the storyboard he drew, the director has solid basic skills. It seems that he has worked hard. He has this skill at this age.
