The superstar starts from the creation camp

Chapter 134 Draw!

"Let's talk about it, what's your opinion?" Director Zhao asked, tapping on the conference table.

Everyone looked at each other, and then they all set their eyes on Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng smiled wryly in his heart, what do you mean?Isn't this hurting me?

Sure enough, Director Zhao directly called the name: "Then Lu Cheng, tell me! You have always had the most ideas!"

Lu Cheng secretly scolded these cheating colleagues, pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, there are only two choices, a thousand-year-old man or an asshole!"

"It's actually very simple to kill the donkey. The contract we signed with Li Mu requires him to get [-] million box office before he can take all the distribution revenue. As long as we reduce the number of Crazy Stone screenings on a large scale now."

"But in this way, we will lose the battle with Light Media Media!" Someone raised a question.

Lu Cheng smiled and said: "Actually, we have won this battle so far. Don't forget how much the total investment of Crazy Stone is? According to the ratio of income, it has already blown up Guangying Media. As long as we grasp this point and report , No matter how many mouths Guangying Media has, it’s hard to tell!”

"Makes sense!"

Zhao Dong frowned and said, "What about Qianjin's bone?"

Lu Cheng straightened his tie, and said seriously: "Mr. Zhao, I think we should take a long-term view and eat up the distribution share of this movie. The most we can do is to make more money."

"What we are lacking now is excellent works. Although Li Mu's studio is small in scale, their income is actually amazing. This film is just a test for them. Who can guarantee that they will not be able to shoot more in the future?" How about good work?"

Speaking of this, Lu Cheng paused: "The most important thing is, if we break our word for a little distribution share, not only will the company's reputation be ruined, but as far as I know, Guangying Media has already contacted Li Mu. one"

There was silence in the meeting room again, everyone stopped discussing, and all their eyes were on Director Zhao, and it was this one who could finally make a decision.

Zhao Dong knocked on the table a few times: "Then do as Lu Cheng said, and finally add fire to this drama, let's all do things, Lu Cheng stay!"

After everyone left, Zhao Dong teased: "You can do it, you have a long-term vision!"

Lu Cheng sneered: "Hey, I'm not following your wishes."

"Stop flattering!" Zhao Dong suddenly said seriously: "Light and Shadow Media has already started to make small moves behind the scenes?"

Lu Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, but as far as I know, they didn't gain much. This kid Li Mu is not a fuel-efficient lamp!"

"Yeah, this kid is a character. A small studio has an annual income of more than [-] million yuan. He is the only one in China, right?"

Lu Cheng said cautiously: "Then, shall we?"

Director Zhao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, wait for the film to be finished, help me to ask him to meet."

Li Mu has indeed received an olive branch from Guangying Media.

Just as Shi Ran was about to speak out, Li Mu tore up the invitation and threw it into the trash can.

Not long after, Liang Hongfei and Xia Yu also came, both holding the same invitation.

"Light and Shadow Media seems to be really impatient!" Li Mu laughed.

Liang Hongfei's expression was also quite relaxed, and he said dismissively: "Can you not be impatient, at the beginning you threatened to crush us, but now you are just advocating that the box office is tens of millions higher than ours, hum, sooner or later we will surpass them!"

Li Mu looked at him jokingly: "What? There's only one invitation card, and you didn't promise anything else?"

Liang Hongfei shrugged: "It's nothing more than the temptation of money. Oh, yes, he also said that he would invest in my next movie."

When it comes to the next movie, Xia Yu's eyes are also shining. "Crazy Stone" has brought them not only an increase in popularity, but more confidence. Now they are considered number one in the circle. Let's go Wherever you go, you can pat your chest and say loudly: "The box office of the movie made by labor and management has exceeded [-] million!"

Seeing their smug looks, Li Mu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, it's time to pour a basin of cold water on these two.

"Sit down, let's study the next step!"

Liang Hongfei and Xia Yu secretly rejoiced, could it be that the script of the next movie has come out?
Shi Ran also looked at Li Mu curiously.

"Next, I plan to make a TV series!"

"TV drama?" Not to mention Liang Hongfei and Xia Yu, even Shi Ran was stunned!
The studio managed to use "Crazy Stone" to open up the situation in the film industry. Doesn't Li Mu's doing so mean self-destructive future?

Who knew that Li Mu broke out another big news: "I estimate that the investment of this TV series will be around [-] million!"

In fact, what Li Mu said here is still too little. You must know that the total investment of "Jiang Ye" is as high as [-] million. Of course, the proportion of big-name stars' remuneration is a bit high. Li Mu can reduce it here, but the final investment will definitely be More than two hundred million.

"[-] million?" Liang Hongfei was stunned. What is the concept of [-] million?You must know that "The Strange Case of the Old Magic City" took three years to film, and there were many big names joining in, and the investment was only [-] million.

Spend [-] million to shoot a TV?Xia Yu's first reaction was, is Li Mu crazy?
Shi Ran opened her mouth, but swallowed the words back. She believed that Li Mu must have sufficient reasons to make this decision, which has been proven countless times before!

Li Mu explained: "This TV series is a very important part of my IP plan, and I will focus all my energy on it in the future."

Speaking of this, Li Mu paused and said to Liang Hongfei: "Of course, I'm not saying that you must also participate. If you have a mature script, the studio can also invest."

Liang Hongfei breathed a sigh of relief. Although TV dramas with an investment of [-] million yuan are equally attractive, he still prefers to make movies.

Li Mu said to Xia Yu again: "Don't even think about running away, boy, I will arrange someone else to be a producer on Liang Hongfei's side!"

Xia Yu scratched his head and smiled, "If you don't run away, I've already disliked this kid, so hurry up and get him away!"

He doesn't think he has the talent to be a director, and being a producer is good, not to mention that the investment of this TV series is as high as [-] million!This is simply a rare opportunity for him!How could you refuse so stupidly?

Liang Hongfei and Xia Yu left happily, and only Li Mu and Shi Ran were left in the conference room.

"Sister Ran, if you have anything to say, you can just say it directly, there is no need to hide between us." Li Mu said seriously.

Shi Ran's tone was a little uncertain: "Do you think Liang Hongfei still can't handle big-budget movies?"

Li Mu nodded: "Not necessarily, I just don't think it's safe enough. I want to invite a more mature director to direct this TV series. As long as Liang Hongfei's investment does not exceed 5000 million, he can directly approve it. If it exceeds 5000 million , let’s find a third party to invest, it shouldn’t be difficult given his current reputation!”

Shi Ran also probably had a score in his heart. Liang Hongfei would definitely not be satisfied with low-cost production after this big hit at the box office. Li Mu put him on the table at this time for two reasons. The first is to avoid risks. , More than 5000 million are regarded as B-level productions, and few companies will undertake the sole proprietorship. The second is to disclose the information that the studio is willing to cooperate with the outside world.

In the film and television industry, eating alone is a taboo!

As for the transfer of Xia Yu from Liang Hongfei's group, it also has a deep meaning, the relationship between the two is too close.

Opening two large-scale film crews at the same time, the company will definitely expand, and the personnel management will also become more formalized.

"Sister Ran, help Chen Xuan find a manager again." Li Mu said to Shi Ran again.

Shi Ran took a deep breath and nodded: "I understand!"

On August 51st, [-] days after its release, both "Crazy Stone" and "The Strange Case of Old Magic City" were drawn.

In terms of box office, "The Strange Case of the Old Magic City" won by a narrow margin of 2000 million, and finally settled at 6000 million!

It seems that "Crazy Stone" lost the battle, but in fact, the insiders seem to know that the box office of "The Old Magic City" has fallen off a cliff throughout the second half of July.

However, in the last week of the next painting, it has grown strongly. If there is no trick in it, I guess Guangying Media itself would not believe it.

Hua Yi also hinted that he could push back, but was rejected by Li Mu. The box office has exceeded [-] million. His goal has been achieved. More importantly, he does not want to completely tear himself apart from Guangying Media.

Of course, if Hua Yi really spends money to compete with Light and Shadow Media, he has no objection. Spending money to buy box office is a common unspoken rule in the circle!

The funniest thing is that for some movies, when you open the booking software, you will find that there are only a few vacant seats, but when you actually enter the screening hall, you will find that there are only a few people who actually watched the movie. As for who bought the other tickets, haha. Just think about it!

After the "Crazy Stone" fire, a lot of related information broke out on the Internet. One of the more interesting ones is that Liang Hongfei actually wanted to ask Yu Peipei to play the role of the girlfriend of "Brother Dao", that is, the school girl in the old boy of college classmates.

It's a pity that Yu Peipei's social status was too high at that time, and the manager's salary was 50 yuan per mouth. You must know that Guo Tao only got 12 yuan in salary!

Liang Hongfei resolutely passed her. Now that "Crazy Stone" has become popular, Yu Peipei's agency is so regretful.

In addition, the leading actors of "Crazy Stone" have also gained a lot of attention. Guo Tao and Liu Hua have never been in the mainstream, and they have the traffic of third-tier actors, and their status in the company is not the same.

Therefore, the actors who played important supporting roles such as Xiaojun, Four Eyes, and Heipi also signed their own companies, and their acting careers have taken a big step forward.

As for Liu Ying, as the second female lead in the play, her role is more likable. Although there are not many scenes, she has also gained a certain number of fans. It's just that this girl is more hard-working. After being isolated, Sun Ying arranged high-intensity acting training for her.

Of course, this is what Li Mu meant, after all, this girl will be the lead actress in his next major play!

The time has come to the end of August amidst the hustle and bustle, and if you count the time, the box office share of "Crazy Stone" should also come out!
"Mr. Li, can I trouble you to come to Huayi? No, you don't need to come to the office, just go directly to the coffee shop downstairs in Huayi. Our chairman would like to treat you to a cup of coffee!"
