Huayu: The director just wants to save money

Chapter 55 A New Script

New company plan.

The content is roughly that Da Tiantian proposed to establish a new entertainment company with Zhou Mo.

"Tiantian, what does this mean?"

"What else could it mean? Let's set up a company together. From today on, you will no longer be my employee, but my boss."

"What's the reason? This is all too sudden."

"Ever since you told me about your 'historical IP' plan last time, I've had this idea." Da Tiantian explained: "Zhou Mo, your plan has such a big future. If I don't tie you to the chariot, I'm afraid you'll be poached one day."

Zhou Mo thought to himself, you’re overthinking it.

The IP plan he mentioned sounds good and complete, but it is really impossible for ordinary companies to do it.

Let’s just talk about his plans for the film adaptation of “The Blade of the Assassin”.

First defeat Chongzhen, then defeat the pigtails.

If it were any other company, few would dare to take the job.

Zhou Mo chose to sign a contract with Da Tiantian in the first place, also with the intention of finding a backer for himself.

He has a lot of bold ideas in his head, but without some background, it's hard to say whether they can be broadcast, or even whether they can be filmed.

But there's no need to say this now.

Destroy the scenery.

On the other side, Da Tiantian was still explaining: "In fact, I wanted to transfer the shares of Xingguang Canlan to you directly at the beginning, but when I went home some time ago, I told my family about my idea. My family members meant that Xingguang is not just mine after all, there are also some other people's members. It's okay to let you in, but there may be disputes in the future, just like today.

So why don't you and I set up a new company that belongs to us, and then we can cooperate with your video website and produce excellent works. I remember you wanted to adopt a paid model, right?"

Zhou Mo sighed, as expected of a wealthy family, they always did things in moderation.

"This is too fitting."

Da Tiantian raised her eyebrows when she heard his tone: "My intuition tells me that you didn't say anything nice."

"how come!"

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. Another thing is, the shares of this new company will be 50-50 between us. What do you think?"

Zhou Mo was stunned.

"Is this also the advice given by your family?"

Da Tiantian: "No, I just thought of it myself. It's 50-50. Our status is exactly equal."

Zhou Mo: ...

Sure enough, it’s that Da Tiantian with the brain problem again.

He said, "Have you told your family about this fifty-fifty idea?"

"I did. They laughed at me after hearing me, saying that you would definitely not agree."

Da Tiantian is not convinced
"Of course I don't agree." Zhou Mo smiled and said, "If it's 50-50, who will the company listen to if we have a disagreement?"

"But I've never had a disagreement with you."

Big sweet excuse

Zhou Mo explained to her: "Even if there is no disagreement between us, the people below will have some concerns because of the 50-50 shareholding."

Da Tiantian: "Then how do you want to divide it?"

"I'll take 49 percent, after all, it was you who came up with the idea. Besides, there are only two of us, so we don't have to worry about two-thirds absolute control or anything like that."

"Would that be unfair to you? The film and television plans are all yours."

"How can I feel wronged? I made a lot of money, okay?"

Zhou Mo knew very well that the new company was established for the smooth implementation of future filming plans. In this case, the importance of using the company's reputation was far more important than making money.

Besides, how can you not make money with a tiger skin?

"Tiantian, we will definitely encounter some difficulties in the future filming. If you own more shares in the company, it will be conducive to the smooth implementation of the plan."

Da Tiantian thought about it and was convinced.

An agreement was reached.

Zhou Mo looked at the names of both parties on the contract and felt a little excited.

From this moment on, he truly had a background.

He didn't know Da Tiantian's family background in his previous life, but he knew it very well in this life.

A true family home.

After signing the contract, Da Tiantian asked, "What is the name of our new company?"

"Madou?"

Da Tiantian:?

Zhou Mo: "Ahem... I mean, 'Mountains and Rivers'. Our company is going to create a series of historical IPs, so why not call it Mountains and Rivers, which means that time passes, but mountains and rivers remain forever."

"Mountains and rivers? That's fine." Da Tiantian didn't have much objection.

something happened.

Da Tiantian took out another document.

"have a look?"

"What is this?" Zhou Mo opened it and found it was a script.

Seeing the name, he raised his eyebrows. "The Feast at Hongmen?"

After reading the content, I am sure it is the one filmed by Flying Saucer Hat in my memory, a historical drama in which a group of historical figures play chess in a room without eating any vegetables or drinking any soup.

"Tiantian, how did you get this script?"

"Come to think of it, this matter is related to you." Da Tiantian waited for him to finish reading the script and explained.

"How to say?"

"Last year, Xingmei said they were going to shoot The Feast of Hongmen, but the filming speed of Luchuan was too slow. I heard that it has been prepared for half a year and it has not started yet. Xingmei has no choice but to give up the script and see if anyone can take it over."

"I remember that it was Xingguang who accepted it and also contacted Li Rengang."

"Correct."

"So what does this have to do with me?"

“I know you’re anxious, but don’t worry, let me explain slowly… After Starlight took over, they wanted you to shoot it, but you didn’t want to shoot “New World” and rejected all the orders, so Starlight found Li Rengang again.

It didn't matter originally, but Li Rengang heard the news that he came to you first, and then he said he was unwilling to take over no matter what."

Zhou Mo was confused: "Damn, what does this have to do with me?"

Da Tiantian rolled her eyes and said, "It's because when you went back to school for an interview last year, a student asked you what you thought of Resurrection of the Dragon, and you said you were blind and didn't have any opinion."

Zhou Mo felt aggrieved.

"I'm not wrong. Wasn't 'The Dragon Resurrection' intended to blind people? Think about what was filmed in the movie. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei stabbed Zhao Zilong, Zhuge Liang ate like crazy, Zhao Zilong betrayed Zhuge Liang, Zhao Zilong and his elder brother looked at each other affectionately..."

Da Tiantian's mouth twitched.

"That's true, but I can't save my face, so I won't accept a movie behind your back no matter what."

Zhou Mo curled his lips: "It's okay if you don't accept it, so as to avoid providing more shit to the audience."

"Just tell me this, and don't say it outside."

"Why, telling the truth is not okay. Look at what the Feidie Hat has filmed? "The Dragon Resurrection", the passionate story between Zhao Zilong and his elder brother, and "The Imperial Guards", which was filmed as "The Desert Eagle".

Zhou Mo couldn't help but speak out.

"Tiantian, do you believe that if Feidie Hat were to film The Banquet at Hongmen, he would be able to portray the love-hate relationship between Liu Bang and Yu Ji?"

Da Tiantian didn’t quite believe it.

"This is too outrageous. Isn't The Feast at Hongmen in the textbook?"

Zhou Mo shook his head: "You can always trust Director Xiangcheng to make big money on historical films, and he will never disappoint."

Da Tiantian is too lazy to complain about Li Rengang anymore.

"Anyway, since Li Rengang gave up on this drama and no one else was willing to take it over, I ended up buying it. Didn't you say that the new version of The Myth will be about the Chu-Han War? Otherwise, we can shoot it ourselves."

Zhou Mo thought about it.

"It's not that I can't do it, the problem is that I don't have time next time. After "The New World", I have "John Wick" and I have other dramas next year."

"It doesn't matter. I'm not in a hurry anyway. Let's talk about it next year." Da Tiantian is very casual.

"It's okay to arrive, and there's nothing wrong with preparing in advance."

"Yeah, so I opened a company with you and helped you get a project. How are you going to thank me?"

Zhou Mo thought for a moment and said tentatively: "I will be your slave?"

Da Tiantian has been through a long period of hardship and is no longer the little white rabbit she used to be.

Being treated like a horse or an ox means being fucked.

She has a clear mind.

"Go to hell, if you keep talking nonsense I'll bite you."

"Bite? Bite well."

Da Tiantian was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

"Zhou Mo, you are really hopeless!"

boom.
