Big names rise

Chapter 259 Super Small Cost

supermarket?Such a common name, maybe the plot will be better, He Mu still believes in Xu Zheng's vision.

He Mu and Xu Zheng are actually not very close, but they appeared in the same bald-headed image at the Beijing College Student Film Festival, and walked the red carpet together, which became a good story for a while, so there was some intersection. It is that He Mu admires Xu Zheng's works very much, but because they have never cooperated, the relationship stops here.But since Tiger Wolf Pictures was recommended by Xu Zheng to this young man, He Mu naturally couldn't neglect it.

"Don't be in a hurry to talk about the script, let's sit up there first, it's not convenient to chat here." He Mu said, they are still in the lobby on the first floor, although He Mu is not a rare species here, but it still has a little influence.

"Okay, okay," the man was a little embarrassed, thought for a while, and said truthfully, "Actually, I have been to your company just now, but I haven't been able to meet Mr. Xiao. I heard that I came to recommend movie scripts. There is a person named Zong The gentleman received me, and then..."

Then he invited him out, He Mu already understood, "I haven't asked you how to address Mr.?" He Mu asked as he walked.

"Oh, my name is Yang Qing."

"Mr. Yang, I'm really sorry. Tiger Wolf Film and Television is mainly engaged in the TV drama business. This year, it has just set foot in the film industry. There is no leader in charge of this area. Zong Zong mainly manages the internal affairs of the company. He is not very good at stuff, so he treats your script sloppily, please don't take offense." He Mu said it politely, and Yang Qing felt that he was valued.I was full of gratitude in my heart, and hurriedly said "no no".

In fact, He Mu already understood what was going on, and the company now has a feeling of repulsion towards movies.I'm afraid Yang Qing was criticized when he was invited out just now. In the final analysis, it was because the attempt of "Stewardess" failed, lost the box office, and lost word of mouth. They are more wary of movies, they generally think that the company makes TV series well.Basically, there are few misses, and all of them make a lot of money. What kind of movies do they have to make.This is all right, I lost money, and I should be careful in the future.

Among these Tiger Wolf employees who reject movies, Zong Lei should be the first among them.Because he knew that the main reason why Xiao Fang set up the film department was to keep the ambitious He Mu.But the company itself is not very familiar with this business, and it will definitely suffer a loss if it rashly enters the film industry. For this reason, especially after "Stewardess" failed at the box office, he has some opinions on He Mu.

Zong Lei is still a relatively objective person. He is not unhappy because He Mu suddenly became his boss. On the contrary, he thinks that Xiao Fang and He Mu exchanged shares, so that Xiao Fang can own part of the shares of Tiandi Media. Not bad.Compared with Tiger Wolf, which has been investing this year, several major dramas have basically not been put on the market.There is hardly any profit. The business level of Tiandi Media this year is astonishing. The annual profit is quite considerable. Moreover, after the marriage with Tiandi, the company's weakest script has also been solved. This year Tiandi provided Tiger Wolf with a lot of novel copyrights. Suggestions on the adaptation of literary works and literary works have great market potential after verification and investigation.

Zong Lei's displeasure with He Mu was only because Xiao Fang was too accommodating to him, disrupting the development route he set for the company. In his opinion, it would take more than four years for the domestic film market to mature. The strength does not need to be so eager to enter the game, it can be developed for another year or two, and then mixed in when the strength reaches a certain level, and at the beginning, it can also follow the example of Tiger Wolf when it was established, invest some money and cooperate with established film companies, It may earn less, but it is stable, and through such cooperation, it can make up for its own shortcomings, improve the capabilities of the company's related film departments, and lay a solid foundation for future development.

But at the beginning Xiao Fang didn't listen to him, and rashly opened a film department, and even produced and distributed it himself. What happened, I lost it!

Zong Lei didn't take pleasure in other people's misfortune. He hoped that the young Mr. Xiao could limit his connivance to He Mu through this lesson. He also knew that He Mu, the number one artist of Hulang, was of great significance to the company. It will cause many partners to lose confidence in Hulang, just like Wang Jinghua took away the backbone of Huayi Brothers back then. That was the biggest crisis for Huayi, and it was only through the signing of Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming in these years that it slowly recovered. come over.

Therefore, He Mu still has to hold it in the palm of his hand. At the same time, he cannot follow some important issues related to the company's development. He must make him understand that he is only a small shareholder with only a dozen percent of the shares. With such a long stretch, only Xiao Fang can really decide the company's affairs, or he, Xiao Fang's most trusted manager, can be added.

In fact, Zong Lei is quite grateful to the director of "Stewardess", because "Stewardess" failed, so Xiao Fang has become cautious about film investment now, and even has no interest. Sent away, just picked a few flaws in his script and asked him to find another home.

Na Lan at the front desk was playing with her mobile phone when she suddenly saw the young man claiming to be a director who had been "invited" by Zong Zong to come back with a disheartened face, and He Mu was by her side. After greeting Brother Mu, she watched them go in, and waited for the two of them to walk away before she pulled Wang Nan who lived behind.

"Xiao Nan, what's going on, that person was driven away by Zong Zong just now, why did he come back again? Still with Brother Mu?" Na Lan and Xiao Nan got on well, so she said nothing.

"I also heard what he said just now, but he and Xu Zheng seem to have some relationship. My uncle asked him to talk again for Xu Zheng's face." Xiao Nan had been paying attention to the conversation between the two just now, but she figured it out. what happened.

"Oh, so, are Brother Mu and Xu Zheng familiar?" Na Lan asked casually.

"I'm not very familiar with it," Xiao Nan shook her head, "But my uncle said that Xu Zheng is very talented, and now he has become a small talent, and he will become a big talent in the future."

He Mu invited Yang Qing to his office. Yang Qing first handed the script to He Mu respectfully. While He Mu was flipping through it, he began to talk about his creative background at He Mu's request.

"I was born in 1980. I received two years of adult education from Chinese opera. After graduation, I entered the Beijing film and television industry. I first worked as a screenwriter, and then worked as an executive director for a period of time to accumulate some experience. In 05, I had the opportunity to be a director myself. , independently directed some works, but they were all bad movies, with bad scripts, amateur actors, and copycat production teams, and the things they shot were basically not broadcast on TV. unhappy."

"In 06, "Crazy Stone" came out. After watching it, I was amazed. I heard that the director Ning Hao was not a few years older than me. He only spent less than 300 million yuan to make this movie. At that time, I I think domestic low-budget comedies are promising, and I also want to be like Ning Hao, making a movie that the audience likes, the investment can make money, and it can give me a sense of accomplishment."

"So, in 07, I started to write the movie script, and I wrote this "Supermarket", but I couldn't get the investment, so I kept it. Later, a classmate of mine gave the script to Xu Mr. Zheng, he likes it very much. He also met with me and recommended this script to his agency caa. Mr. Xu originally wanted to help me attract investment, but after I met him, I thought he was very suitable for the script. For a role, I sent him an invitation, and he agreed." In other words, as long as you invest in this drama, you will definitely be able to invite Xu Zheng.

He Mu nodded while watching, not only for the well-written script, but also for Xu Zheng. Although Xu Zheng has not achieved much in movies, he has always liked to support new directors. At the beginning, "Crazy Stone" was looking for his wife Little Tao Hong played a role, but little Tao Hong didn't have a schedule, so Xu Zheng fell in love with the script after seeing the script, and regardless of the fact that Ning Hao had never heard of the character, he rushed to play a villain in the movie, and No money was taken, and as a result, "Crazy Stone" made crazy achievements. Xu Zheng, who knows and loves talents, became popular because of this, and successfully gained a firm foothold in the film industry.

"He Sanshui? Is this the role you said is suitable for Teacher Xu Zheng?" He Mu has already seen Brother Shui's appearance.

"That's right." Seeing He Mu nodding, Yang Qing was very encouraged. Although He Mu was younger than him, his status was very different, so he couldn't help but treat him carelessly.

He Mu chuckled, "This role is actually more suitable for me, because my nickname is He Sanshui."

"Ah!" Yang Qing was taken aback, he really didn't know this, and he was not a die-hard fan of He Mu, "Then do you want to change your name?"

"No, no, Brother Shui is quite catchy, that's it, you continue." He Mu asked Yang Qing to continue talking, and he continued to watch.

Yang Qing continued: "CAA is the largest brokerage company in the United States, and they don't invest in movies themselves. They set up a line for me with China Film and Orange Sky. The two companies agreed with my script, but the director wanted to find someone else. After all, I am too young to give investors a sense of security. Later, after a series of negotiations, Mr. Han Xiaoli of China Film Group asked me to apply for the "Young Director Program" of China Film Group. If I can apply successfully, I can get a sum of support funds. They agreed to let me direct, no matter the loss or the profit, it will be borne by the Young Directors Program and the two companies, but in this way I don't have the director's fee, only the screenwriter's fee."

Because the application may not be approved and there are two problems of director fees, Yang Qing hopes to cooperate with other film companies, so Xu Zheng proposed several companies for him, including He Mu's Tiger Wolf. We were able to wait for result of young director plan.

The creative background has been finished, and He Mu has also roughly watched it. This movie was actually completed and took place in a supermarket. No wonder it has such a name, but it is really interesting. If it is really going to be made, this movie really doesn’t need it Too much investment, a supermarket, and a few actors can completely handle it. This is definitely a model of ultra-low cost.

"Can you tell me about the inspiration for the script?" He Mu asked again, and then began to read it carefully for the second time... (To be continued...)
