The superstar starts from the creation camp

Chapter 128 Schedule!

"I remember Mr. Lu Xun once said: Tragedy is to destroy the valuable things in life for others to see, and comedy is to tear up the worthless things for others to see."

Having said this, Li Mu paused: "But, is it true that the worthless is worthless? No! I think the worthless in this sentence just means that it has nothing to do with the audience, because it has nothing to do with it, so it can be Laugh out loud!"

"I didn't expect this kid to understand so thoroughly at such a young age?" Director Feng couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Lu Cheng didn't quite understand, so he heard Director Feng explain: "Think about it, if a tragedy wants to attract the audience, the first thing is to let the audience have a sense of substitution, let people experience his bitterness, and only then can they have an empathetic experience! Right?"

Lu Cheng nodded, and then listened to Director Feng's speech: "Comedy is different, because the stories are often absurd, which makes you subconsciously think that these things can't happen to you, so when they are embarrassing, you can make them laugh." You are laughing, but reality is often more absurd than comedy, and this is the real tragedy!"

After listening to Director Feng's explanation, Lu Cheng was stunned, there is such a saying?The most important thing is that Li Mu's opinion coincides with that of this great director with a strange brain circuit, and it is also a fight.

Li Mu's words could not help but make the college students who came to the award ceremony to ponder. Is the comedy they have been using as a joke on weekdays really so unbearable?
Li Mu said again: "Then what about comedians? In my opinion, comedians just tear themselves apart and show everyone bloody!"

I remember Xing Ye once laughed at himself: I have acted in tragedies all my life, but you call me the king of comedy.
Speaking of the viewing seats here, some actors who have played comedies all the year round couldn't help but burst into tears. Yes, comedians are considered to be the bottom group in the circle, even lower than many "clowns". I have to call a teacher, but what about comedians?
Even if your box office is high, so what?If you can't get an award, you won't get recognition from the industry, let alone social recognition.

They didn't have a channel to speak out before, but now someone finally spoke up for them, and their favorability towards Li Mu skyrocketed!
Guo Tao looked at the camera most accurately, and his facial expressions clearly appeared on the big screen on the main stage, and he couldn't help but smile wryly. In fact, he is not a pure comedian, he has also acted in many dramas. How do you say that?
Of course, Guo Tao is still very grateful to Li Mu. He is the winner of the best screenplay and the boss. Does he deserve to say this for an "employee"?This is really taking him as one of his own!
When Li Mu walked off the stage, all the comedians started to give a standing ovation, and then the audience also started to stand up and applaud, and then the whole audience applauded. This is an honor that has never been seen in this awards ceremony.

Li Mu bowed slightly to greet everyone, modest and demeanor, and returned to his position all the way!
The award ceremony that followed seemed a bit dull, and Liang Hongfei won the award for best director.

Standing on the stage, his eyes were slightly red: "Thank you for your affirmation. Here, if I want to thank one person, it must be my boss and the screenwriter. In fact, the script I wrote for this play is a tragedy."

"Oh no?"

The audience even doubted their own ears. How could such a funny movie be changed from a tragedy?No wonder Li Mu said that before!
"Actually, I wanted to be a director since I was very young, and I finally went to the Film and Television Academy. However, I didn't do very well in the exams. Many people questioned that I came in through the back door." Liang Hongfei scratched the tip of his nose.

"Haha~~~"

"In the year when I was about to graduate, I took the script and found my current boss. At that time, I thought he was a rich second generation, and then he talked nonsense. In the end, he said he wanted to invest in me. I thought to myself , did I cripple him?"

There was another burst of laughter off the stage.

Liang Hongfei raised the trophy and shook it violently in the air a few times: "Thank you for giving a fool a chance."

The organizer's face was crooked. First, Li Mu and then Liang Hongfei. One of these two is a college student, and the other is a college student who just graduated. They are really too embarrassing for the college student film festival.

And the most important thing is that they won the award entirely on their own strength, the organizer didn't do tricks behind the scenes to stand up to any media scrutiny!

The applause once again set off a climax, and Liang Hongfei's deeds were also quite inspirational, and the letters were a shot in the arm for many college students who were about to enter the society.

This year's college student film festival, Li Mu and Liang Hongfei almost stole everyone's limelight. There were not enough popular actors and actresses to watch.

Almost all the media are staring at the reports of the two of them, and other people can't get in the way of spending money, so a small workshop called "Muzi Studio" has succeeded in the big river of the film and television industry since it caused a storm in the music world. There was a small splash!
With the "full support" of various media, the exposure rate of "Crazy Stone" has increased sharply, and some mainstream media have also begun to invite the main creators, among which Li Mu is naturally the most popular, followed by Liang Hongfei, Guo Tao and Liu Hua Still no one cares.

Naturally, the show is going to be on, but before that, Li Mu still needs to negotiate with Hua Yi. After all, to be on the show for publicity, at least it has to be scheduled, right?Without an accurate release schedule, what's the point of publicity?
Li Mu, Liang Hongfei, Shi Ran, plus a legal counsel form the negotiating team.

"Mr. Li, welcome. Thank you for your hard work. Why don't you come to the lounge first when you come from afar." Lu Cheng said kindly.

Li Mu waved his hand: "No need, let's start, time is precious!"

"That's okay, please follow me." Lu Cheng also accepted it frankly.

When I arrived at the meeting room, I found that there were seven or eight men and women with good auras in a row.

"Come on, let me introduce to you, this is our Huayi Theater"

"This is the Legal Department."

Shi Ran secretly said to Li Mu: "This group of people planned it in advance, this test is not easy!"

"It's hard, but I have to!" Li Mu sneered, there was no father and son on the negotiating table, and he didn't intend to show any affection!
"Mr. Li, why don't we confirm the release time first?" Lu Cheng didn't follow the routine first hand.

Shi Ran was a little puzzled, shouldn't we talk about the ratio first?
"Okay, let's set the schedule first!" Li Mu didn't refuse either, a good schedule is the guarantee of a high box office, he was really afraid that Huayi would make a rubbish schedule to perfuse him.

"Mr. Li, Huayi is very sincere this time. Director Niu's [Relevant Fengyue] schedule is on June [-]th. What do you think of this schedule?" Lu Chengcheng vowed.

Shi Ran sneered, the withdrawal is certain, but it will definitely not make way for them. Director Niu's film was invested by Huayi, and he is considered his own son. How could he give their godson a way?

Liang Hongfei frowned and said, "I remember Director Jiang's three-year investment of [-] million [Old Magic City Strange Case] ​​suddenly announced that the file will be moved to June [-]th, right?"

When the truth came out, Lu Cheng pinched the bridge of his nose in embarrassment: "I didn't expect Director Liang to be so well informed, but this schedule is definitely the best schedule in Huayi so far. It depends on whether you dare to gamble!"

Li Mu asked Liang Hongfei in a low voice: "Are there any big productions by other famous directors in the same period?"

Liang Hongfei shook his head.

Li Mu also had a bottom line in his heart: "We can accept this schedule!"

"Okay, it's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers! Have courage!" Lu Cheng seriously flashed a hint of complacency.

"Then let's talk about the share ratio?"

Li Mu and Shi Ran looked at each other without saying a word, with an expression of willingness to hear more about it.

"Actually, we have another model compared to sharing. I wonder if Mr. Li is interested?" Lu Cheng said.

Li Mu made a gesture of invitation, and looked at him calmly.

Lu Cheng's aura was blown away, it felt like he had punched the cotton with a punch, he couldn't use his strength, not to mention he felt uncomfortable, he couldn't help becoming vigilant, and secretly reminded himself not to be deceived by this guy's age.

Opposite this is also a thousand-year-old fox!
"Another model is guaranteed release!"

Seeing Tu Qiong, Li Mu sneered in his heart, but on the surface he did not show any emotion: "Oh? I wonder how much guarantee your company is going to give to Crazy Stone? Five hundred million? Or one billion?"

The members of the negotiating team couldn't sit still immediately. Lu Cheng almost couldn't hold back a mouthful of old blood and sprayed Li Mu to death. Good guy, I've seen shameless people before, and I haven't seen such shameless people before. Five billion billion?Do you think you are Zhang Guoshi?Even Zhang Guoshi doesn't have such a high guarantee price!
However, when Li Mu said this, he completely blocked Lu Cheng's psychological price of [-] million, and he couldn't help but said with a little embarrassment: "Then let's talk about the share!"

"Mr. Li should have known about Huayi's sharing model. As a theater chain + distributor, we will account for [-]% of the box office."

Li Mu almost didn't lift the table, it seems that it is not a scam, after all, there is still [-]% reserved for the producer, but it is not the case!

Movie box office is subject to tax. After calculating a movie, it accounts for [-]% of the box office. That is to say, only [-]% of the actual box office goes to the producers, theaters, and distributors!

Lu Cheng was about to go [-]% when he opened his mouth, one can imagine how dark it is!

Li Mu sneered and said: "Isn't that how the account is calculated? We invested so much publicity expenses in the early stage and won two awards at the College Student Film Festival. It stands to reason that we are the distributor, right? According to the usual practice, you as the director For the line party, I have no objection to taking [-]%!"

Lu Cheng almost caught his breath: "Mr. Li, distribution is not just about online promotion, is it? Subway entrances, billboards, bus mobile TVs, and local promotions in theaters, these are the major components of distribution!"

Of course, Li Mu knew the importance of these promotion positions, otherwise he would not have exchanged a song for the opportunity to cooperate with Huayi, but on the surface he pretended to be difficult: "But the promotion fee on our side is also very high. Great, how about we issue it together, share all the expenses equally, and then share the distribution, how about sharing equally?"

Now it's Lu Cheng's turn to flip the table. It seems fair, but what about it?These offline resources are all from Huayi, where can you find such good resources?He still licked his face and said that the expenses should be shared equally?
