Chapter 350

Mr. Luo's gaffe stems from his out of control of the rhythm of the conversation.

Qualified superiors are masters of rhythm control. Since Mai Xiaoyu stepped in as a famous Howard Johnson official, he has been trying to control the rhythm of tonight in order to pave the way for the trip of Meng people.

First, with the help of EVA and Li Hui, beat Mai Xiaoyu to wait for him to soak in the hot spring; Then let EVA seduce to test Mai Xiaoyu's human weakness; Then he used the upper class tickets as bait to throw out the big cake of listing.

Unfortunately, they were all easily resolved by Mai Xiaoyu in a rogue way that didn't play cards according to the routine.

Not to mention, finally, Mai Xiaoyu pretended to be generous and threw out a pile of "leftovers"

In the eyes of president Luo, film and television dramas with an investment of less than 10 million are the leftovers. Only the blockbuster "no thief in the world" that invests tens of millions of CASS can get into his eyes.

In other words, if Mai Xiaoyu had not judged that the film and television drama he is preparing now could not attract the interest of Comrade Luo, he would not pretend to be generous and actively invite him to make joint investment.

To put it bluntly, although he rejected the temptation of Comrade Lao Luo, he recognized Comrade Lao Luo as the trading partner.

At least, Comrade Luo can find Wang Yidong, who is hiding, and make him commit suicide. He can also ensure the secret ability of Meng Ren to go public, which is not possessed by entertainment companies that have cooperated with Meng Ren, such as Hailian cinema, Tiandi film and television, starlight records, Yingyi entertainment and so on.

This ability can play a great role in dealing with some inconvenient things.

Moreover, he always wanted to overturn the case for his brother Dong Ping, wash away the charges of negligent injury, and strive for a name of courageous action, so as to comfort the spirits of Dong Ping and Song Ma in heaven. Comrade Lao Luo is the most suitable candidate among the people he contacts at present.

But the time is not yet ripe.

Like the earliest Shi Hao, Comrade Luo today only regards Meng people as a hen who can lay golden eggs. What Mai Xiaoyu wants is equality. Both sides are in an equal position, with equal dialogue and cooperation, just like the relationship between Mai Xiaoyu and Shi Hao, director of Tiandi film and television investment department.

The meeting tonight ended unhappily. The next morning, Li Hui came to Meng Ren as promised.

Holding the script of "full house of romance", Li Hui looked through it in no hurry and asked, "last night, you were not afraid to offend my cousin?"

"When you go out, you ask for money but not gas. And since you're here today, Luo is always a gentleman."

"You call him a woman's watch, ha ha!" Li Hui smiled and shook his head. "Young and vigorous, it's easy to suffer losses in the future."

Mai Xiaoyu didn't care, and Li Hui didn't say any more. He began to read the script outline, character biography, and the first three episodes of the script.

"Full house of romance" is a love idol drama. Li Hui soon found that it is full of many elements of Korean idol dramas. When he thought about it, he was relieved that it was adapted from a novel of the same name in South Korea.

Adapted from a Korean novel of the same name?

Li Hui thought, "after this play is made, you don't intend to export it to Korea?"

"It's not just South Korea. If the broadcasting effect is satisfactory, it may be expected to replicate the brilliance of huanzhuge."

Li Hui, an old driver, knows how popular the "huanzhu gege" was. It swept half of Asia, and East and Southeast Asia were simply not hot.

Although the TV circle is developing rapidly and there are more and more excellent TV dramas, as long as it can reach half the popularity of huanzhuge... Maybe he is expected to become the godfather of the next idol drama!

Fame, benefit, little fresh meat of idol drama

After signing the director contract, Li Hui took the script back and read it carefully. Before leaving, Mai Xiaoyu specially told him to go to the post production company three days later to watch the post production effect of Xianjian.

"Fairy sword" brings together half of the cute artists and devotes a lot of efforts to Mai Xiaoyu. Therefore, the post production of Xianjian is the focus of Meng Ren's work at present.

Unlike "no thief in the world", Mai Xiaoyu has long become a shopkeeper.

"No thief in the world" has long been killed. For the brand of his great director, Feng Dagang is very serious and responsible in post production even if he thinks there are loopholes in the script. The cinema line of the Sea Union has launched the film publicity work as scheduled. If the content review is successful and the "birth permit" of Longbiao is normally obtained, it should be scheduled to be released in the new year's file next year.

At noon, I had dinner with Liu Xiaoli to summarize the company's operation this year and its development plan for next year.

No works of cute people have been released this year. Xianjian will be broadcast early next year, and no thieves will be released next year. However, Meng Ren has made a lot of money this year.

"Old boy" has brought more than 20 million box office share to cute people. The box office is not as good as "my savage girlfriend", but the prospect of awards is gratifying.

At present, ihq has signed up for many film awards for old boy. In addition to the three major film awards in Korea, ihq has been nominated for the global screen award of the 16th European film award; This makes them full of confidence in Cannes Film Festival and Xiangjiang film awards next year.

At international film festivals and exhibitions, as long as they can be nominated, they are expected to sell at a good price overseas.

Most of the investment in "no thief in the world" has been recovered through advertising sponsorship. The remaining advertising balance will be settled when the film is released. The box office is not expected for the time being. The payment can be collected and recorded half a year after the film is released.

"Fairy sword" is pure expenditure, only took a deposit. We have to wait until the post production is completed and delivered to the TV station before we can receive the down payment from the TV station, and the final payment... The industry rule is to pay in installments on a monthly basis, and we have to wait.

In terms of artists, chopsticks brothers' film remuneration, appearance fees and single sales are the main revenue.

"Jiangnan style" plus horse riding dance and "Billie Jean" plus spacewalk, the profits created through two singles have exceeded the profits created by the first and second round broadcasting rights sales of "fairy sword".

There are also LiuTao's TV drama film remuneration, advertising film remuneration, appearance fees for commercial activities, and Hu jiantangyan's endorsement fees for Yake, all contributing to the source of income for Mengren film and television.

As for sissy, Yang Mi and Wang Baoqiang... They are still losing money.

According to Liu Xiaoli's preliminary estimation, on the whole, Mengren's book profit this year exceeds 50 million, and the actual receipt is less than 30 million.

The company operates normally, with good revenue, sufficient cash flow and booming business.

Liu Xiaoli began to consider changing the company's address again, because with the improvement of Mengren's departments and the formation of Huang Bo and Deng Chao's team, the number of employees of the company increased, and Mengren's existing office space was a little small.

"Aunt Liu, you are involved. You are responsible for the management of the company. If you have any problems, please come to me." the formal management of the company is Mai Xiaoyu's weakness. He is used to being the shopkeeper, and he is too lazy to worry so much. "In the afternoon, I went to muddle headed hotel to see how things are going over there between Lao Yi and brother cha."

After the killing of "no thief in the world", executive director Xiao Xing and associate photographer Zhang Koizumi benefited a lot. After returning to Mengren, they didn't rest for a few days. Mai Xiaoyu dumped the script of fatal ID to them as Xiao Xing's turning work.

"Deadly ID" is a low-cost production. The work of director, actor, staff and scene is relatively simple, so it will start before "romantic full house". At present, Koizumi and Koizumi are leading the company's employees to organize auditions for members in Yanjing and Shancheng.

This is a thriller movie with the killing game as the main content. It tells the story of killing and being killed among eleven personalities in a patient with personality division.

The actors are average, not too many. Even if it is the leading role, the part of the play does not stir up the beam of the whole play from beginning to end like other films, so after big3 discussion, it was decided to choose from the members.

I haven't given benefits to members for a long time.

Although it is nominally a welfare for members, they are very strict with members who come to audition.

The upper film directed by Xiao Xing failed to get the Dragon logo because he failed to pass the examination, so the harmful film could not be released in domestic cinemas. Ning Shibin found someone to "beat the water dog" in the media. He was once known as "the hope of Chinese director", which was almost forgotten by the audience.

He is eager to turn over through the play "deadly ID" and slap those who fell into the well, especially Ning Shibin.

Meng people's members have almost no academic background, but many people have rich life experience.

Life is like a play. It all depends on acting.

Everyone in life does not lack acting skills, but the heart and ability to show the acting skills in life in front of the camera.

Therefore, members who have previous experience in shooting movies can easily pass this time.

Dong Xiaojuan and enchanting brother in I believe, Wang Xun, Gou Yunhao and Luo Xue in crazy stone, as well as Shen Fei, a sophomore of this year's Chinese drama performance department, who has mixed with Yan Piao, successfully passed the audition.

Wang Chuhan, a little famous, also promised to play a guest role in the 11 personalities in the play. She was the first female star to be killed.

After listening to the story of Xiao Xing and Zhang Xiaoquan, Mai Xiaoyu nodded: "there are seven. It seems that the progress is fairly smooth."

Xiao Xing, with a cigarette in his mouth, shook his head with a bitter face: "no, boss, there are two candidates who have a headache."

One is the driver and bodyguard of a former female star. He used to be a policeman. He is a just personality among the eleven personalities and a hero in the film. This role not only needs image, but also has high requirements for acting skills.

Another is the real murderer and the cruelest child personality. Due to the "root cause" of the lambs in the previous circle, there are no children among the members.

"Isn't there a little boy named Luyu?"

"He is thirteen years old and has grown up..."

"Wipe, why do you grow so fast?" Mai Xiaoyu sighed. "If not, let members recommend it. There should be many members who hope their children can become child stars."

"What about the hero?"

Mai Xiaoyu first went over the company's male artists in his mind, and then said, "are you another actor in the group recently?"

There must be!

In Yanjing, during the preparation period, the crew stayed in a relatively concentrated number of hotels, such as what Yingqiao guest house, muddle headed guest house, Taiyanggong guest house, Bayi factory Huafu guest house, etc., which are all places where the crew likes to stay together, and it is also convenient for actors to run the crew.

Although the crew of "deadly ID" didn't say about the external audition actors, they couldn't resist the army of almost unknown actors. In order to get a chance to play, every crew will not miss it.

Xiao Xing has selected several actors from the group photos sent by these running actors.

Mai Xiaoyu took a stack of group photos and looked at the photos and filming experience carefully. When he turned to the third part, his eyes lit up: "inform him to come to the crew for an audition tomorrow."

"Boss, don't you look behind?"

"It's not necessary. If his acting skills pass the test, he will."

"Fish, do you know?"

"I don't know."

"Are you so sure?"

"Feeling." Mai Xiaoyu grinned, "just like when I met you two, I felt that you two would become big directors and famous photographers."

Xiaoxing protested, "you're a circle, shall we?"

Zhang Koizumi also ran and said, "your feeling will be kept until the evening."

"Shit, if you two say that again, the boat of friendship is easy to turn over!"

Understand the progress of the crew's preparations, and fart with two little partners. At more than five o'clock in the afternoon, Mai Xiaoyu hurried out of the muddle headed hotel. He has something to do in the evening.

After sending him away, Xiao Xing smashed his mouth and asked Zhang Koizumi, "brother Cha, do you think Ning Shibin's son of a bitch will be a hindrance again?"

"The fish can handle it. And I think every time the fish wait for the fork to break down, because we are the cheapest in the end, hehe."

"That's true, the enemy's pig teammate." Xiao Xing nodded and suddenly thought of something, "audit that piece, and the boss can deal with it?"

"I think so. It seems that the fish haven't suffered a loss yet..."

When they muttered, Mai Xiaoyu had come to the parking lot.

Just opened the door, a slim and beautiful girl suddenly appeared in front of him, smiled and said, "Mr. Mai!"

"Shen Fei? Why are you here?"

Shen Fei received a call from the crew yesterday and told her that she had passed the audition. Today she came to the crew to sign a contract.

After signing the contract, she called the director group face-to-face and said hello. When she was ready to leave, she accidentally saw Mai Xiaoyu coming to the muddle headed hotel. She didn't worry and left.

After shooting the fairy sword, she returned to Yanjing and signed a membership contract with Mengren. She became a Mengren member and joined the Yanjing member group.

Before long, Mengren released the audition notice of the film fatal ID in the member group. She made it clear that all the actors in the film will be mainly selected from members, and she also successfully got the role through the audition.

Although she plays a young lady in the flesh business with a pay of less than 10000 yuan, she is at least a heroine!

This big thick leg must be firmly grasped!

Shen Fei made a decision, so she won't miss the opportunity to get close to Mai Xiaoyu and waited in the parking lot.

Although she can't use her beauty to become Mai Xiaoyu's thigh pendant, she has one advantage - she and Tang Yan are classmates and roommates.

"I just signed the contract with the crew today. Thank you for giving me the opportunity. Xiao Yaner and I want to invite you to dinner. Please do me a favor."

"You and Tangyan invite me to dinner?" Mai Xiaoyu looked at his watch. "Well, I can spare an hour."
