Chapter 213 "He Disappeared" Starting (4k)
Wu Mu looked at the manager candidate introduced by Yan Yongmei in front of him.
This is a young and middle-aged man who is about thirty or forty years old, with dark skin, a strong build, and a slightly formal and serious expression.
I wasn’t angry even though he told me he didn’t like Wu Mu.
He is a passerby and he doesn't like him either. There are a few talents in the industry who have been promoted from actors to capital. Not to mention, the ones who are listed are all veteran stars who have been popular for 20 or 30 years.
A young idol like him seems to be very popular and has many fans. In fact, let alone becoming a capital, whether he can escape the exploitation of capital is a problem.
His previous contract with the company was 30% to 70%, and he was 70% to the company.
Several other traffic flows in the circle are estimated to be similar.
Shi Wu’s meaning is very clear, that is, it is okay to help him for a period of time. He himself just needs such an opportunity to transform and adapt, but after helping Wu Mu to pull up the shelf, he has a better He will change jobs wherever he wants.
Wu Mu naturally accepts nothing.
The main tedious thing now is the work of setting up the studio. He must be exhausted to do a lot of things by himself.
After you finish the initial work and get on the right track, it won’t be a problem to find a manager.
Wu Mu agreed, and things naturally hit it off.
He has all the producers and managers he needs, and then he can leave the matter to them.
When he heard that Wu Mu’s requirements for the studio were to maintain basic operations without hiring too many people, and to mainly help him deal with the work that came to him, Shi Wu thought in his mind that indeed It's time to speak up. As for Wu Mu's request, it's obvious that he doesn't want to make the studio bigger.
Although he only regarded Wumu's studio as a place to start his transformation, he also worked hard and with professional ethics.
Shi Wu was busy recruiting people to rent office space, and also contacted Wu Mu's subordinates on various matters.
Although Wu Mu was freed from the business of putting on airs in the studio, he also had new things to do - familiarizing himself with the new script sent to him by Yang Rongfa and others.
This script has some modifications compared to the version sent to him before.
The main modifications are the changes to the character Wang Ren said before.
Wu Mu compared the two versions and found that the character he was going to play, Wang Chuang, had changed from a lively and proactive character to a slightly more passive character.
The biggest change is that his character has changed from actively pursuing the heroine Lin Mo, with a rather stalking attitude, to the heroine Lin Mo also having feelings for him, and the two sides are somewhat close to each other. Feel.
"Do you think I am a passive person?" Wu Mu muttered in his heart.
That's pretty accurate. With his own personality, he really can't do anything like stalking and pursuing a girl.
He can accept the equal and sincere attraction of both parties to each other. When the girl strives to get closer, he can also give back the same sincerity.
But I really can't accept the behavior of putting myself in a low position and desperately pursuing the other party.
There is no need. He is no worse than anyone else and deserves to be liked.
The character's personality has been slightly modified. Although it is not that it is not difficult, it does make him more familiar and slightly less difficult than the previous mode that was completely unfamiliar to him.
Of course, Wu Mu estimates that this is it, and he probably won’t be able to perform if he doesn’t cheat.
Although he couldn't see his acting points, judging from the fact that he was scolded much more for his acting than his singing, he estimated that his acting points must be lower than those for singing at the beginning.
Wu Mu was familiar with the script, and after all he had taken money from others. Although it was mainly for gaining points, he still had to have professional ethics.
Not only write a biography of tens of thousands of words, but also memorize the script backwards and forwards. At least you can't not even know the plot you are going to play, and then go to the set and recite one, two, three, four.
Well, even with the amount of investment he has now in the film, he still has the right to speak. If he really does this, or even directly cuts out the green screen, Yang Rongfa will hold his nose and accept it.
It is not difficult to get familiar with the script. Although his role is the second male lead, and will also be titled as a special starring role, in terms of role, his role is actually an important role. Just a supporting role.
He doesn't appear in the drama for too long, and he may be ranked six or seven among all the characters. He mainly exists as a key conflict point in the plot.
Wu Mu is familiar with the script, and Yang Rongfa has also entered into the official casting announcement.
On the newly created official account of their crew, the cast lineup of the TV series was released.
Originally, I let it go once before, but the second male actor at that time was Zhou Yu. In addition, we have experienced a series of twists and turns such as changing investors and cutting investment budgets. It is still necessary to report it again. .
Wu Mu was not surprised at all when he reported this and was scolded miserably.
My brother was originally announced to play the second male lead, but now he is suddenly replaced. Isn’t it obvious that he has been robbed of resources?
It would be strange if Zhou Yu's fans didn't run over and scold him.
This time even the passersby, who had always been more partial to him, had nothing good to say.
“No, the Wugou variety show was well filmed and the singing was good, why would you go to film a TV series?”
“No, I’ve also seen some of Wugou’s previous movies. When I saw it, I usually left in the middle of the show. The performance was really embarrassing and it was a complete waste of the money I paid for the ticket. He is really not an actor.”
“Yeah, why don’t you come back and continue filming variety shows? Okay? I watched the new episode of Ji Pick yesterday, and Huang Bo was still joking that he expected the director to invite Wu Gou to be a guest on the flight.”
"Furthermore, I read the news online. It seems that he became an investor himself, brought money into the group, and then kicked Zhou Yu out. Although he didn't like Zhou Yu very much, this move was really bad for his character."
“I can understand why he kicked Zhou Yu out. He and Zhou Yu are rivals, and Zhou Yu’s fans have also scolded him several times. It would be weird not to kick him out if he had the chance. He just invested in the group. It’s really a bit disgusting to play the leading role myself.”
It’s a one-sided trend.
The main thing is to bring money into the group and kick out other actors, and then my own performance is a bit of a surprise to everyone.
Everyone is often disgusted by the operation of bringing money into a group to stuff their own family members. This kind of thing has been exposed in several popular TV series in the past few years.
It was originally a TV series with a good reputation, and everyone's acting skills were top-notch. It was enjoyable to watch the veteran actors and actresses acting against each other, but then there were always a few actors who were stuffed in and acted like rat excrement in the pot of porridge, ruining everyone. of interest.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Wu Mu's acting skills are not good. If Wu Mu's acting skills are good and no worse than others, then everyone may think it is a normal means of competition.
But that kind of thing is possible.
It's not like they haven't seen Wu Mu's acting skills before. He used too much force and made his scalp numb with embarrassment. Whoever looked at him would pick his feet.
Netizens are all lamenting that Wu Gou is about to start a bad life, and people are becoming boring. They are all waiting for Wu Gou's TV series to come out, and they will definitely not watch it.
Of course, this kind of wind direction cannot affect Wu Mu, and it will not affect the crew at all. Yang Rongfa does not want to hire Wu Mu, but he has no money!
Who will invest in them if they don’t invite Wu Mu?
But they are not affected, but other investors in the project are a little bit unbearable. Originally, when Li Hu was arrested, some people had already withdrawn their capital. Although the remaining people had not withdrawn their capital yet, they were all in a wait-and-see state.
As a result, after waiting and watching, Wu Mu became the largest investor and also played the second male lead?
Immediately, some investors chose to withdraw their capital, feeling that the project was too risky and there was no hope of making money.
After running three or four projects in a row, the direct result was that the project had another funding gap.
More than 20 million are still missing.
Yang Rongfa was so anxious that he was exhausted.
Wu Mu, who heard this from Shi Wu, who was connected to him, after a deep groan, said directly, "You contact Yang Rongfa, and I will make up for what is missing."
Shi Wu, who had become the manager of his studio, was obviously stunned when he heard this. He couldn't help but said, "Mr. Wu, should we invest more? Is the risk too great?"
This plus this More than 20 million, so their investment amount is already an exaggerated figure of more than 90 million.
For large platforms, this may be just a small number, and it is a risk that is completely affordable.
But for a small star studio like them, it is already a very large amount.
If this was a loss, then he doubted whether Wu Mu's studio would be disbanded.
Wu Mu had his own idea, "It's okay, 90 million is 90 million. Also, tell Yang Rongfa that if there are still people who want to withdraw their capital, let them withdraw. I will make up for it and let them follow the previous progress." Preparation.”
In the eyes of outsiders, Yang Rongfa’s project is very risky.
Normally speaking, it is indeed very risky.
But he has a performance card.
Although the investment amount is not entirely his own, he will not use it for the series itself to avoid working for others.
But when the time comes, the use of the soundtrack album of the series will also increase the popularity of the series itself. He dare not say that it is guaranteed to make money, but the risk is definitely not as big as imagined, and there should be no big problem in maintaining the capital without losing money.
So if you invest a little bit more now, you will be able to make more money when the time comes.
Not only did he not follow suit, or cut the budget and start filming, but he also asked someone to withdraw funding and then add more?
Shi Wu really can't understand his operation at all. This operation is completely like a gambler who puts all his capital on the gambling table. It doesn't look like starting a serious company. ah.
But after these few days of contact, he has understood that what Wumu needs is just a tool man role, so he doesn't beep anymore.
Anyway, he gave his own opinion based on his professional experience, and there was nothing Wumu could do if he didn't listen to him.
Well, after adapting to the transformation, it is better to change jobs to the next company as soon as possible, otherwise he is afraid that the Wumu studio will be in his hands, which will affect his reputation.
Don't let people outside say that Shi Wu will pay for whatever he does. This time it really has nothing to do with him, he is the smart one.
Shi Wu went to help Wu Mu contact him.
When Yang Rongfa heard that Wu Mu was willing to invest more, he almost wanted to set up a memorial tablet for him.
For the first time, he discovered that Wu Mu was such a high-quality investor.
It is simply more worry-free than the previous coal boss!
It’s okay not to interfere in their filming at all. If they say they want to invest more, they will invest more.
Looking at it this way, playing the second male lead is nothing at all, it should be regarded as the price of such a generous investment.
The project, which has had twists and turns since its inception, continues to be prepared.
Then it’s almost time to actually boot up.
Originally, the preparations were almost complete when Li Hu was an investor, but now it is just a matter of re-adjustment.
One week later.
Beijing, Dongshan Film and Television City.
All the cast members of "The Disappearance of Him" gathered in front of the incense table to hold the opening ceremony.
It was a very simple opening ceremony, with the crew’s own creators and staff present.
Originally, according to Yang Rongfa’s previous idea, the opening ceremony of their project would be a very large project press conference, inviting large and small media and friends in the industry to build momentum.
But given the current reputation of their series on the Internet, forget it, it’s better not to promote it yet, otherwise he is afraid that the more it is promoted, the less platform it will have to buy it.
Previously, Zhou Yu was invited to come, and it was also to promote the hot spots such as the first drama series of the big-screen director Wang Ren, which is a full-scale acting school.
Now this publicity strategy has to be changed. Now if we boast about the acting skills of all the members, people will directly shoot the animations from Wu Mu’s previous film and television dramas on their faces.
During the opening ceremony, incense was burned and worshiped, and then the crew spoke head-to-head.
Yang Rongfa took the stage first and expressed his confidence that the project has gone through twists and turns, and has overcome difficulties. The next step will be smooth sailing and success.
Then Wang Ren came on stage.
Director Wang Ren is indeed someone who can make the kind of art film that Wu Mu can't understand at all. It fits the public's stereotype of an artist who is deaf to what's going on outside the window.
In this series of things, he may be the calmest person, even calmer than Wu Mu.
Whether it was Li Hu who was thrown drunk at the previous meeting with the main creators, or whether Li Hu was arrested later and the investment in the project was cut off, he didn't panic at all, as if there was no such project at all. If the project failed, he would lose even more money. More awareness.
Every external matter along the way was basically dealt with by Yang Rongfa in a hurry.
The same is true now at the opening ceremony. He did not change his taciturn appearance at all. After two very simple sentences, he stepped down directly.
The third person to take the stage was the investor Wu Mu.
Yang Rongfa gave him, the largest investor, a lot of face. As soon as he came on stage, he led people to applaud below.
Why don't you give me face? Wu Mu's current investment share accounts for more than 60%. If he is stronger, he can directly turn the crew into his one-stop shop. As long as Yang Rongfa doesn't want the project to continue to be dirty, as long as his request is not It was too much, Yang Rongfa probably had to hold his nose and agree.
The scene was filled with thunderous applause.
But Wu Mu, who was standing on the stage, clearly noticed that many people in the audience had strange expressions on their faces.
It is even said that some people even have a look of disapproval in their eyes.
