Chapter 211 Preparing for a personal studio (4k)
Yang Rongfa has been trying to attract investment since the last conversation. Unfortunately, there are many people who can provide icing on the cake, but few people who can provide help in times of need.
Everyone either thinks their project is too risky and is unwilling to invest, or else they are willing to invest and the conditions are worse than Wumu.
After finally searching around, he found that they had no choice at all. If they wanted to continue the project, they had no choice but to come to Wu Mu.
Even if Zhou Yu needs to be replaced by Wu Mu, no one can guarantee the high risk, but at least there is hope that the project can be launched.
Even after procrastinating for a while, he would inevitably have to pay a little extra for their procrastination.
"Your salary will be increased by two million, and each composer and singer will be increased by two hundred thousand?" Yang Rongfa looked at Wu Mu speechlessly.
Outrageous.
Why did this guy raise his price again? From the moment he contacted this person, he had already raised the price twice before he had even finished preparations to start shooting.
This only adds up to a lot of time, so it’s reasonable!
Wu Mu thinks it's quite reasonable. He's not taking advantage of the situation. It's a completely normal request. "My popularity has increased a lot after the "Idol Daily" program. My Weibo followers have increased by more than 800,000. The salary plus two million is Let’s give it a fair price.”
His increase in popularity and commercial value are real. Just such a small increase is already very kind in his opinion.
Although this amount of money is a small amount compared to the performance card, there is no reason not to take the money that I should have taken, and the two parties have not signed a contract before.
Now Yang Rongfa has nothing to say. Considering Wu Mu’s popularity and popularity on the Internet in recent days, two million seems to be quite reasonable.
Has this person’s reputation increased too many times and his prices increased too frequently?
It's only been half a year, and this guy just raised his price once after appearing on one show, and his momentum is simply terrifying.
It would be great if this person could maintain his momentum into drama projects.
Yang Rongfa thought with a sigh.
But just thinking about it, his reason told him that this kind of thing was unlikely.
After all, film and television drama projects are really different from singing and variety shows. The most important thing about film and television dramas is the story script and the director's own shooting skills. If the story script is poor, it will be useless no matter how brilliant one's personal performance is.
Not to mention, he didn't dare to expect Wu Mu to do anything outstanding in acting.
He felt that instead of expecting Wu Mu’s acting to be outstanding and attracting attention, it would be better to think about how Wu Mu’s acting skills were too poor and he was out of tune with other actors, and then he was ridiculed by the group and became a trending topic. , maybe we should think about how to consume black and red traffic in advance?
Yang Rongfa was thinking a lot. Naturally, he couldn't refuse the increase in the price of Wumu. Let alone an increase of two million, even if the increase was more, as long as it was within his tolerance, He could only grit his teeth and agree.
Who told them that they have no other investors to choose from now.
After agreeing to Wumu’s new conditions, the two parties began to discuss specific investment plans.
Soon, the two parties settled on a general framework. Wumu invested 50 million, plus the remuneration and composition and singing fees, the total investment was more than 70 million, equivalent to 45% of the investment share to Yangrong. Send them new projects.
Wu Mu directly became the largest investor in Yang Rongfa's project. Because of the converted remuneration, his investment share was larger than that of Li Hu before.
After discussing the general idea, the next step is to discuss the specific details.
But there is a problem with Wu Mu. He does not have a company behind him. He used to take jobs for himself. Without a company, it does not have much impact. At most, it is a good time to sign the contract and hand it over to a professional to see if it works. Just no traps.
But now if you want to participate in film and television production, it is not possible without a company.
If nothing else, he is the largest investor after all. He must at least find a producer to join the team and keep an eye on the whereabouts of the funds he has spent. Otherwise, if Yang Rongfa cheats him, he will directly do the accounting and blackmail his money. What to do.
There is also the usual docking, future promotions, which platform to sell the series on after it is produced, how much to sell for, etc., all of which need to be watched by someone on his side, otherwise he will be taking his own money. joke.
Obviously it is impossible for Wu Mu to do this alone. He has eight hands and he can’t do it. Moreover, he is not professional in some areas and can easily get into trouble.
"It seems that we have to put the establishment of a studio on the agenda first."
Wu Mu thought in his mind.
Originally, he had thought that he didn't have too many things on his hands and could handle it by himself, so he wouldn't need to set up any company or studio for the time being.
But after investing in Yang Rongfa’s project, someone must help him keep an eye on it.
You don’t need many people, just a rough structure is enough. After all, he mainly relies on performance cards to make money. He only needs the people in the studio to help him deal with docking and not being cheated.
The first and most important thing is to find a studio manager or general agent.
Wu Mu carefully selected the person suitable for this job.
But after thinking about it, I found that there was no suitable candidate.
It’s not that I can’t think of a suitable person at all. My predecessor has been in the industry for so many years, and I know some people to some extent.
But mainly the people I knew from my previous life were more or less involved with Liu Lan.
For example, his former manager Duan Ming is actually a very suitable candidate.
Although Duan Ming was not particularly lovable from his perspective, if you look at it from the perspective of Liu Lan, the boss, Duan Ming is simply a perfect subordinate. He has no shortage of professional abilities, has professional ethics, and his character is actually pretty good at ordinary times. He is simply a good young talent.
But let’s not talk about whether he has the ability to recruit Duan Ming. Even if he has the ability, he does not intend to have anything to do with Liu Lan.
So Wumu simply gave up the idea of looking for people he knew before and planned to recruit people from another direction.
Well, let’s introduce him to his current friends. Listening to his songs is not free.
Wu Mu’s first call was naturally to Director Lin Qingyue, who had a lot of resources and connections in the industry.
Lin Qingyue was not surprised at all that he wanted to set up a personal studio and recruit people. She had already thought of it when he said he wanted to invest in a TV series.
"What are your thoughts on this studio of yours?" she asked first.
Wu Mu understood that she was asking herself how far she wanted to make the studio, whether she planned to build it into something similar to a large entertainment company in the industry, or whether she was simply asking him to handle things that he couldn't handle now. matter.
In this way, she can also recommend candidates in a targeted manner.
Wu Mu’s idea is naturally to let people help him deal with some things that he can’t handle.
After all, he does not make money through his own efforts, but directly through system performance card bonuses.
There is no need for his studio employees to help him develop any business or achieve results.
He just needs some tool people who can cooperate with him and help him keep an eye on him so that he won't be cheated.
Anyway, just leave it to Brother Tongzi to make money.
Well, when more performance cards are drawn in the future and the quota increases, his studio's performance may be even more terrifying than those of the large entertainment companies in the industry. So Wu Mu’s requirement is, “You don’t have to look for someone who is too powerful, just someone who understands the situation in the circle enough and won’t make mistakes. By the way, it’s best if you have good character and professional ethics, so that I don’t have to worry too much. ”
There is no need to look for someone who is too powerful. It will be a waste of money. Moreover, when a person is powerful, he will be ambitious, which may cause him all kinds of troubles.
Lin Qingyue didn't know about his performance card, and just thought that his studio was just to help him deal with things that were too busy for him, and had no big ideas.
Lin Qingyue nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll ask you."
She still needed to ask about professional managers, but there was another matter. But there is no need to ask further.
“You still need a producer to help you keep an eye on the crew. I will introduce you to Sister Yan, the producer of my previous film. Sister Yan is very professional and reliable. She charges a fee. It’s not too expensive, and it has always been my royal producer.” Lin Qingyue said with a smile.
This was an unexpected blessing, as I didn’t have to find a producer myself.
I still believe in the candidate Wu Mu introduced by Lin Qingyue.
After making an appointment with Lin Qingyue to meet with her royal producer, Wu Mu continued to call other friends to ask for help to pay attention.
And if he finds someone to help keep an eye on it, it will inevitably spread.
In addition, there was news that Yang Rongfa and his team had restarted preparations for their project, so soon everyone who followed him in the circle knew that he was preparing to open a personal studio.
Beijing, Lan Entertainment Company.
Wu Mu’s former manager Duan Ming has also learned about this.
He didn’t pay special attention to Wumu. It’s just that Wumu is so popular. As long as you know a little bit about it in the circle, it’s really hard not to notice it.
What's more, he also needs to pay attention to the project trends in the statistics circle. He will naturally learn about Yang Rongfa's project, and then naturally learn about Wu Mu's preparations to open a personal studio.
He is sorting out the documents he will report to Liu Lan later, including the new project of Yang Rongfa and Wu Mu.
He is getting better and better.
Forget about taking on one job after another, now I have to open a personal studio and become an investor myself.
Duan Ming murmured in his heart, he found that he couldn't understand this former artist under him since the house collapsed.
It feels like since this person left the company, his career has risen faster than when he was in the company before the collapse.
Duan Ming was thinking about sorting out the documents in his hands and going to report to Liu Lan.
But he had just finished sorting it out and had already stood up. After thinking about it, he stopped and put the document with Wu Mu's name on the last page.
Well, it’s better not to touch Mr. Liu’s brow, so as not to get slapped coldly.
Actually, he did not particularly avoid Wu Mu's name a long time ago. He had always felt that Liu Lan did not take Wu Mu seriously.
After all, the daughter of a giant company owner is also the owner of an entertainment company.
No matter how you think about it, it’s just for fun. Could it be that Liu Lan still cares about Wu Mu?
But ever since he discovered that his boss seemed to be often unhappy since Wu Mu's house collapsed, he realized that something was wrong.
Although Liu Lan has never been in a positive mood, in the past, it was mainly a state of boredom and boredom.
It is still relatively rare to look unhappy.
But in the past few months, her boss has often appeared in a clearly unhappy state. At first, he didn't understand what Liu Lan was unhappy about, until he accidentally glanced at his house. The content on the boss's computer contains Wumu's news.
After that, he tried not to bring trouble by mentioning Wu Mu’s name.
Duan Ming quickly took the documents, knocked on the door and entered Liu Lan's office.
Then he saw Liu Lan, who was leaning in the boss's chair and looking at the computer screen, with another indifferent expression on her face.
Not happy again.
Is it because of Wu Mu again?
Duan Ming muttered in his heart.
Is the charm of this afternoon tree so great?
Having already separated, can someone still miss you?
Indeed, just as he had guessed, Liu Lan was really unhappy about Wu Mu at this time.
On the computer screen in front of her was the video of Wu Mu and Lin Qingyue in the wheat field.
It would not be wrong to say that she is obsessed with Wu Muduo, but it is inevitable that she feels uncomfortable that her ex, who she didn't care about before, has gotten better and better, and she has found a new love very quickly.
However, this ex is still very popular. Even if she doesn't pay special attention, he will often jump in front of her.
She looked at the two people on the screen looking at each other under the cherry blossom tree, and it was dazzling to see them.
Oh, you didn’t even write a good song to me when you were with me, but after we separated, you tried your best to write it out?
Liu Lan snorted in her heart.
But this actually just made her a little unhappy. What made her pay more attention was actually Lin Qingyue in the video.
Ever since they met in Paris before, she had paid a little attention to Lin Qingyue's background.
Then I found out that Lin Qingyue is the daughter of Director Lin Xueming. More importantly, her mother’s background is quite extraordinary.
In terms of various conditions, Lin Qingyue Qingyue is actually more advanced than her daughter who is quarreling and having conflicts at home.
But it was such a person who had a crush on Wu Mu, whom she had not cared about before, and looked at her differently
Isn't this a naked slap in her face, mocking her for her blindness?
When Liu Lan thought about this kind of thing, the anger in her heart couldn't help but come out, and then she would be in a better mood.
Duan Ming tried hard not to touch Liu Lan's brow, but sometimes the brow would come to him automatically.
Liu Lan suppressed her unhappiness and looked at the documents handed over by Duan Ming to divert her attention.
Then I flipped through it twice and came to Duan Ming’s report on Yang Rongfa’s project at the end.
Looking at Chen Mu's name on the document, Liu Lan's face, which had just calmed down, suddenly turned cold again.
"Oh, this is really a ghost. His name is everywhere." Liu Lan said with a sneer.
It’s broken, it’s just bad luck.
Duan Ming felt helpless, his mind was spinning rapidly, and then he looked like he didn't see anything, and reported as usual, "Wu Mu and Yang Rongfa's project has attracted a lot of attention in the circle recently. Everyone is paying attention.”
“Wu Mu is really confused. He thinks that because he is good at singing and variety shows, he can invest his own money and become his own boss. He will lose money this time.”
