showbiz male god

"I'm sure." Chen Mo's voice was as firm as saying "I do" in a church, and Director Wilson was taken aback for a moment, never expecting that the answer Chen Mo gave him would be rejection.

Reject the new work of Hollywood's most influential director Wilson Ketton?

Wilson glanced at his mobile phone blankly, and couldn't believe his ears.

However, Chen Mo's next explanation or excuse made Wilson have to believe this fact.He really got rejected.

"... Please forgive me, I am now the producer of three films, the important supporting actor of one film, and many company affairs to deal with, so I really can't arrange a schedule." Chen Mo declined with a smile: " If there is an opportunity in the future, I really hope to cooperate with Director Wilson."

When Director Wilson heard Chen Mo's "important supporting actor in a movie", he immediately reacted: "I understand. Chen, let's talk straight. You need me to do something before you accept me." invite?"

Chen Mo laughed softly: "Since Director Wilson said so, then I can't go around in circles anymore... With all due respect, your new work "The Seventh Treasure" has too many flaws in the script, and it is estimated that you will be in the middle of filming. During the period, there were more problems with the scenery and props. If I have this time to change the script and props, it would be easier to invest in a new script and shoot by myself. Will I still be short of filming funds?"

Chen Mo thinks that the biggest advantage of communicating with Wai Guoren is that everyone can put aside those useless greetings without any scruples, and fight straight to the point on the interests of both parties.

Director Wilson's face sank, and he asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

"I don't know what Director Wilson thinks about the joint venture filming?" Chen Mo asked with a smile on his face.Even if Director Wilson on the other side of the phone couldn't see his expression at all, he could feel his enthusiasm from Chen Mo's rippling tone.

Director Wilson frowned. Chen Mo's appetite was too big, completely beyond his expectation.

"I'm just a director, and the issue of investment is not my scope of responsibility."

"But you are also the most influential director in Hollywood." Chen Mo added with a smile: "I believe that if you are really sincere, Director Wilson, you should have some discussion on the issue of joint filming—you should know " The investment cost of "Food Color"? Starlight Films has never been stingy with shooting costs, we only ask for the quality of the film!"

On this point, even Director Wilson, who claims to burn money like water, can't refute it - after all, even if he burns money, he didn't spend more than a billion dollars to shoot a TV series.In fact, the movie with the largest investment he ever made was less than 3 million US dollars.It was the world's first [-]D movie, and most of the money was spent on special effects.Of course, this is also the most common way to spend money in the shooting of Hollywood blockbusters.

The most expensive thing is always the stars' remuneration and special effects!

Thinking of the fascinating food, scenery, sets and props in "Food Color", as well as most of the artificially filmed war scenes, Director Wilson has to admit that he is a little moved.Because in "The Seventh Treasure", he designed the protagonist's adventure group to encounter the Yuan Dynasty army after entering the tomb of Kublai Khan the Great.He hopes that this scene can also be like the war scene in "Food Color", the huge scale is all piled up by real people, instead of fake little people like post-production!

"...We both cooperate to shoot a movie. Huaxia is in charge of the script and the props in the mausoleum, you are in charge of special effects and distribution, and you are in charge of the filming, Director Wilson. We can even spend huge sums of money to build a statue of Kublai Khan the Great. Mausoleum, what do you think of having all the crew filming inside the 'Mausoleum' instead of a rough studio set?"

Director Wilson gasped. On the one hand, he felt that Chen Mo was talking to the lion. On the other hand, as a director, his heart for art made him unable to ignore Chen Mo's description.

The scene of his filming in the tomb of Kublai Khan almost appeared in front of his eyes.Such a large-scale and magnificent effect cannot be supplemented by artificial synthesis and post-production special effects.

"But... Huanqiu will not allow Chinese people to participate in the investment and filming." Director Wilson murmured, and he didn't know whether it was for himself or Chen Mo.

But Chen Mo didn't think so. He shook his phone leisurely and said, "You can think about my conditions carefully. If you can accept it, I will rely on Director Wilson and you and Huanqiu to do the preliminary work." Communication. I believe that our love for movies can overcome all difficulties. You are welcome to call again. I am very sincerely waiting for your reply."

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Director Wilson's reaction. Yang Qindong, who was sitting opposite him, stared at him with a dumbfounded expression on his face.

Chen Mo shrugged his shoulders: "The opportunity to cooperate with a world-renowned director is really exciting, isn't it?"

"You are so right. My heart is about to explode!" Yang Qindong said as if dreaming.

"If we can do this!" As if he came back to his senses instantly, Yang Qindong looked at Chen Mo excitedly, his dark eyes were astonishingly bright, and every pore on his face wanted to radiate The light of ambition: "Imagine that the name of Starlight Films and Huanqiu, one of the eight major Hollywood film companies, appear in the same film investor, imagine your name Chen Mo and Wilson Keton, Steven Chris King , Angelina appeared on the credits list together, Chen Mo, you believe me, the Chinese film and television industry and all the media will explode for you!"

Yang Qindong fluttered and danced, as if he had taken drugs: "We will become No.1 in China's entertainment industry, Starlight Films will become a world-renowned film and television company, and we have opened up the Avenue of Stars from China to Hollywood. From then on, Starlight The influence of film and television in China's entertainment market is absolutely unparalleled. Whether it's superstars, or those film and television agencies, Li Zhaoxi, Chen Yuxiu, Zhao Sen, China Entertainment, Shengwei Film and Television... as long as they want to open up Hollywood channels , we must make good friends with our Starlight Film and Television. At that time, our Starlight will be the well-deserved king of China's entertainment industry."

Chen Mo shook his head, and couldn't bear to look directly at the crazy Yang Qindong.

"Little Mo, you must work hard to make this happen. This is simply too important for the future development of our Starlight Film and Television." Yang Qindong grabbed Chen Mo's wrist and said frustratingly.

Chen Mo threw off Yang Qindong's shackles indifferently, patted Yang Qindong's shoulder and said, "Don't worry about gains and losses because of such a small matter."

"This is not—" Yang Qindong was about to refute, but Chen Mo planned it.

"It would be best if Director Wilson agrees to a joint venture. If not, then we will continue to cooperate with major families and film and television companies that have cooperated before to make a movie about adventure and tomb robbery. We can also Hiring the best special effects team and editing team in Hollywood, plus our own script and sets, I can't believe that I can make a "Food Color" and I can make a better movie than this Come out! So you really don't need to take "The Seventh Treasure" too seriously."

"We want to collaborate, but collaborations aren't the only way we break into Hollywood."

Yang Qindong was a little taken aback by Chen Mo's inadvertent contempt for Zhang Yang when he spoke, and unconsciously remembered Chen Mo's domineering Zhang Yang when he first debuted.At that time, many people thought that Chen Mo was unruly and difficult to get along with, but today, Chen Mo still can't get rid of this nature in his bones, but it makes all his followers feel at ease and confident, as if following this person. Afterwards, all problems can be solved.

The crew of "The Old Man vs. Cupid" was filming in Country M for only [-] days, during which time Director Wilson had no news.

Unlike Chen Mo's old god, Yang Qindong, the CEO of Xingguang Film and Television, was a little restless.In the end, in order to relieve his pressure, Yang Qindong even called the domestic public relations team, instructing the company's people to deliberately release rumors, revealing that Director Chen Mo's next work will be a big movie about exploring tombs.Hollywood's top special effects team and editing team are required to be responsible for the post-production, and behind-the-scenes teams such as the set props of "Food Color"...

As soon as this revelation came out, the domestic entertainment circle instantly went into an uproar.The major media seemed to be blown up, putting all the news related to Chen Mo on the headlines. The private phones of Yang Qindong and Chen Mo wanted to ring 24 hours a day, and the company's phone and mailbox were also blown up.

Those film kings and queens who have good friendships or have no relationship at all, the heads of major film and television agencies, well-known domestic directors and cameramen, and even martial arts instructors, etc., all called to inquire about the accuracy of the news .By the way, I would like to ask whether the roles of the male and female protagonists and important supporting roles in Chen Moxin's works have been determined!

Chen Mo couldn't laugh or cry, so he had no choice but to say to Yang Qindong: "You dug the hole yourself, and you find a way to add it yourself."

"I didn't lie, did I?" Yang Qindong ignored Chen Mo's complaints. He didn't believe that Yu Wei from "Food and Color" came first.

Chen Moke didn't have time to pay attention to Yang Qindong's empty plan, and the cooperation negotiations between Mu's Group and a certain automobile group in country M were coming to an end.Under the same scramble between the two parties, the final negotiation lasted for a month and a half. During this period, the filming of the crew of "The Old Moon vs. Cupid" in Country M also ended, except for Chen Mo who accompanied Mu Yu. , all the members returned to China first, which naturally included some non-staff people inserted by a certain team leader Liang Zhaoan.These people worked honestly in the crew during the day, but disappeared without a trace at night, and they didn't know what tasks they were going to perform.

Chen Mo didn't ask.But secretly prepared many ways to allow the crew to return home safely.But it was useless in the end, which made Chen Mo feel both gratified and disappointed.Quite a bit of emotion that heroes are useless.

The field staff sent by Liang Zhao disappeared without a trace on the day the crew returned to China. The crew members only thought that these people were temporarily hired by Chen Mo, and they didn't doubt it.Still follow the shooting task step by step to shoot.

Just in the second week after the crew of "The Old Man Fighting Cupid" returned to China, the business negotiations between Mu's Group and M Country Automobile Group had come to the end. All the terms of the contract had been fully implemented, and the new contract was printed out. M party representatives held a formal signing ceremony in the luxurious conference room.That night, a certain automobile group in Country M arranged a celebration banquet as the host. During the banquet, Chen Mo received another call from Director Wilson.

Director Wilson's tone on the phone was very helpless, but Chen Mo felt that Wilson still had a trace of unconcealable eagerness to try amid the helplessness he deliberately showed. He represented the investor of "The Seventh Treasure", and he also Universal Pictures, one of the eight major Hollywood film companies, told Chen Mo that they could discuss the issue of joint filming.

This result was not what Chen Mo expected.He immediately called Yang Qindong and asked Yang Qindong to summon the negotiating experts from Starlight Film and Television to discuss cooperation.By the way, many experts were recruited from the negotiating team of Mu's Group to sit in charge!

Although the M Group's master negotiators don't know much about the operating model of the film and television industry, the routines of business negotiations are common. As long as they understand the interests of both parties in the negotiation, the M M Group's master negotiators only need to be in the most critical position. It's time to give pointers.

This is probably the first time in the past 20 years that China's film and television industry and Hollywood have sat down to conduct all-round joint venture negotiations on capital, technology, scripts, actors and other modules.The entire negotiation process was extremely difficult—mainly reflected in the fact that Hollywood did not trust Chinese film and television professionals to play a constructive role in such a global film.

In short, people in Hollywood do not believe that Chinese film and television professionals can make movies that everyone likes.However, "The Seventh Treasure" has to rely on Chen Mo's ability in terms of script flaws and props and scenery. Coupled with Yang Qindong's persecution, Hollywood, which has always been aloof, feels uncomfortable, so the conditions for cooperation and sharing are set. It is harsh, and Chinese people are not allowed to make any comments or objections to the filming process during the cooperation process.

Of course, Chen Mo would not agree to this request.What Chen Mo wanted was all the rights he had as a collaborator—including modifying the script, arranging props, and even sending people into Hollywood's editing and special effects teams to observe the entire post-production.To put it simply, Chen Mo needs the power of a producer if he wants to be half of the film's producer.

And Chen Mo's reason is also very good.He believes that since the crew of "The Seventh Treasure" wants to use the logistics team of "Food Color" to perfect the film, Starlight Films must make sure that every step of the film is rigorously researched and in line with historical facts, at least it will not smash "Food Color" signboard.

But Hollywood is not stupid, and will never agree with Chen Mo's ulterior motives of stealing a teacher under the guise of supervision.

The two sides had very intense negotiations on this point of dispute. The atmosphere of the whole negotiation was very stiff, and even broke down at one point. Hollywood negotiators left the meeting three times. Once everyone rushed to the airport with their luggage, but was intercepted by Universal's negotiator.

However, the specific content of the negotiations has not yet been implemented.The stalemate between the two sides is simply impetuous.

As for Huaxia, which is thousands of miles away, the entire entertainment industry is also looking at the other side of the ocean, and everyone is looking forward to the final result of this negotiation.

If it is said that the birth of "Food Color" has broken the embarrassing situation that Chinese culture has not been paid attention to in the global film and television market, broken the vicious circle of domestic bad movies rampant and capital chasing profits, and injected a conscience into the domestic TV drama market The fresh blood produced has increased the core competitiveness of Huaxia TV dramas in the global film and television market.So whether this joint venture shooting can be successful will also mean whether Chinese elements can break through the limitations of the small screen and go to the big screen, and it means whether the Chinese film market can take the opportunity to rise and go global.

On a smaller scale, it also means that those superstars who are star-studded in China but have never been able to break through the restrictions of race to go global, can they take this opportunity to break through the transparent ceiling and appear on the international big screen, Appear in the field of vision of the global audience.

For a time, the whole of China boiled like water droplets of hot oil.The news about Chen Mo can be said to be highly anticipated.

Also looking forward to Chen Mo's whereabouts is the crew of "The Old Moon vs. Cupid".However, different from other people's hopes, the crew of "The Old Moon vs. Cupid" is very upset-because most of the filming of the entire crew has ended, only Chen Mo, the third male fiancé, still has a little part in the scene Not implemented.

Director Zhang Da was furious. Regardless of the obstruction of his golden partner Li Nian and the expensive overseas calls, he made a phone call to Chen Mo's mobile phone and issued an ultimatum to his old classmates.

"Can you come back? Can you come back? I'm filming, you leave me alone to negotiate with the crooked fruit, are you embarrassed?"

"You are xenophobic!"

"See profit and forget righteousness!"

"With newcomers forget the old ones!"

"The heartless man!"

It was his own fault, so Chen Mo had no choice but to confess his guilt with a wry smile, saying that he would definitely return to China in three days at the latest.

"It's more or less the same!" Zhang Zongming snorted arrogantly, and said casually: "Don't care too much about the result of the negotiation with Huanqiu. At worst, we invest in our own filming, and maybe we can make a movie version of "Food Color" Woolen cloth!"

This plan coincided with Chen Mo's.Chen Mo suddenly laughed dumbfounded, and said, "Okay, I understand, I will definitely return to China within three days."

At this time, even Chen Mo himself gave up hope for the long and trivial negotiations with no progress.I was planning to pack my bags and go home.Unexpectedly, Zhang Zongming's overseas phone call would become an opportunity to promote the negotiation process!
