Chapter 478: Pay a small amount of money to get a large share"Filming a TV series?"

Hao Jinming didn't care about the broken cup at all and looked at Li Luo in surprise.

In the eyes of laymen.

Filming a TV series is a very noble thing.

Hao Jinming is no exception. He never thought that he would have any connection with TV dramas.

However, Li Luo's words about making his own story into a TV series made him feel dazed. A feeling of excitement swept through his body, so much so that the hairs on his arms stood up.

The already rosy face.

In an instant, it almost turned the color of pig liver.

There is no one who has achieved success and fame who doesn't like to brag about himself, and even the most cunning person can hardly suppress the desire to talk.

In the admiring eyes of others.

You can gain unparalleled spiritual happiness.

Compared to bragging.

When my own story is made into a TV series, the spiritual happiness I feel is countless times stronger.

You are bragging and talking nonsense.

When I brag, I'm just throwing a TV series for you to watch.

Check it out.

This is based on my experience.

These are all true stories!

Hey~In fact, it's not worth mentioning, but since others like it, I, Lao Hao, agreed reluctantly.

I'm really sorry to have made fun of you older brothers.

Think of that scenario.

Hao Jinming was shaking with excitement.

This kind of thing can be boasted about for the rest of your life!!!When Hao Jinming was excited.

Zhang Guoli instantly realized that there was something profitable in it. He had read countless scripts of various kinds. What was rare was that he also listened to the other party's story with great interest.

The four words "relish" mean market value.

In addition, he has filmed two TV series related to antiques, "Legend of Liulichang" and "The Fragrance of Sophora japonica in May".

We are well aware that TV dramas of this type are very popular in the market. No matter if it is a cliché or a snatch, there is a natural dramatic conflict in it, and it can become a good script with a little tinkering.

Liujiacheng on the other side is no exception.

Looking around excitedly.

What a joke.

Even though this was the first time they met, it didn't mean he didn't understand Li Luo.

This guy's vision.

Anyone would have to give a thumbs up and say they are convinced!

I don't dare to think about getting a piece of the pie, but if I could get a position as an assistant director or something, it would be worth the trip.

"Yes."

Under Hao Jinming's nervous gaze, Li Luo smiled and nodded slowly: "Mr. Hao's experience is quite legendary. He started out as an appraiser of treasures, got rich through real estate, and finally stayed true to his original aspiration and established a museum to protect cultural relics and antiques."

“I think there are some really great stories that can be unearthed in the middle.”

"Of course."

"That's what I said."

"Having such an idea and actually implementing it are two different things. Please forgive me, Mr. Hao. I have done too many TV shows and movies, so I always think about my own business when encountering any problem."

As soon as these words came out.

Hao Jinming almost jumped up from his chair.

Don't say that~Why should I say that!Hurry up and tell me more, two, three, four versions are fine, we are happy to listen!!!In fact, Hao Jinming is an old businessman.

He also has a background.

Under normal circumstances, one wouldn't show such joy on his face.

But this situation is not normal. The temptation to make his life story into a TV series is so great that the urgency of the thought is written directly on his face and anyone can see it clearly.

This performance made Zhang Guoli force himself to hold back his laughter.

Li Luo's lips moved.

He knew that this guy was planning to do something bad, or trying to turn the tables.

Very simple.

I beg you to do things and you beg me to do things.

These are two completely different things.

There are so many things worth talking about, operating, and pulling in the middle!

"this."

Hao Jinming swallowed his saliva, picked up the wine dispenser happily, moved his chair towards Li Luo, and poured Maotai into his glass: "Actually, I won't hide it from Mr. Li."

"I am actually very interested in the film and television industry."

"Don't say anything else."

"I watched every episode of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber a few years ago. I was very impressed at the time. How did you film those flying scenes?"

Of course I'm interested.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become friends with Liu Jiacheng.

Even if you were not interested before, you must have it now.

However, he couldn't ask directly whether his story could be made into a TV series, as that would seem too shameless. He could only hint at it by referring to "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

If it had been someone else.

Hao Jinming wouldn't be that interested.

After all, he has been setting up traps, picking up leaks, and making mistakes all his life. He has seen a lot of tricks in the business world, but now the three people sitting in front of the table are more powerful than the other.

He is not the kind of guy who, after drinking a few glasses, would pat his chest and brag about having filmed some movie with some famous director.

The TV shows and movies shot by these people are very popular all over the country.

It is something that others brag about with pride.

There's no need to set a trap for yourself.

Regardless of their status in the entertainment industry or their connections behind the scenes, as long as Li Luo and Zhang Guoli really want to do it, there is a high chance that this will be accomplished.

Think of this.

Hao Jinming's eyes became even hotter.

Since the other party accepted the attack, Li Luo followed the force and pulled downwards.

From "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" to "The Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties", "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was also brought up for discussion.

Zhang Guoli cooperated very well.

Although it was not yet clear what Li Luo was going to do, it did not stop him from playing along. He drank Maotai with a smile and chatted about all kinds of trivial things, but he never got to the point.

This is it.

It made Hao Jinming very upset.

Li Luo didn't stop keeping the other party in suspense until he felt the time was right. Pulling too much would easily have the opposite effect.

"Mr. Hao."

Lifting the wine glass, he gestured to Hao Jinming: "In fact, I just said so much, mainly to express that no matter what you shoot, it must have that flavor. A martial arts drama must have a martial arts flavor, and it must have that kind of unrestrained feeling."

"Are you right?"

"Yeah."

Hao Jinming clinked glasses with him and gulped down the Moutai.

Don't know what you are talking about.

But it does not prevent me from agreeing with his opinion.

"Ah."

Putting down the cup, Li Luo smiled and picked up a piece of braised pig intestines and threw it into his mouth: "What I want to express is that if Mr. Hao's story can be made into a TV series, it would be best to bring out the Beijing flavor."

“It shows the spirit of the old Beijing people of that era.”

"The spirit of the Beijing men."

"If we can capture the feeling of the times and the energy in the film, I think the story won't be that bad."

"right!!!"

Hao Jinming slapped his thigh hard to show his full agreement.

Now he understood.

Isn't it just about having that energy?But after moving his mouth, Hao Jinming blushed and waved his hands, saying, "My little thing is not worth mentioning. It's embarrassing to tell others about it. Mr. Li, please don't make fun of me anymore!"

"How shameful is this!"

Liu Jiacheng tapped the table lightly and raised his thumb: "Mr. Hao's experience is beyond words. I have to say I admire him."

One pretended to give in, and the other immediately pushed forward to support him.

The scene was played very well.

With the flattery of Li Luo and Zhang Guoli, Hao Jinming finally "reluctantly" told his story from the beginning. The waiter was puzzled by the joyful look on his boss's face.

After lunch, everyone moved to the tea room next door.

We continued to laugh and chat in the aroma of tea.

some things.

It is destined to be impossible to reach an agreement in one go.

Noticing Li Luo glancing at his watch, Hao Jinming finished speaking with a lingering look.

However, when Li Luo expressed his real interest in the story and his desire to know more details, Hao Jinming was overjoyed and couldn't wait to exchange contact information.

Finally, they even saw us out the door warmly.

Even until the vehicle drove away, he kept waving his arms reluctantly.

The incandescent light bulb flickered on.

The computer screen was still frozen with the scene of He Yichen and Zhao Mosheng strolling on the campus. Li Luo pulled over a chair and sat down, then poured Zhang Guoli a cup of coffee that had already gone cold.

The latter doesn't care either.

He wiped the ash off the table and sat down next to it.

Li Luo seldom smokes, but not when he is editing. This job is too tiring, with one frame after another going back and forth, and coffee alone is not enough to cope with it.

"Really?"

After swallowing the coffee, Zhang Guoli handed over a cigarette.

“Of course I will.”

Li Luo lit it with a click and exhaled a long puff of smoke. "After all, it's not that one person's food doesn't feed the whole family. There are so many people in the company waiting to eat. How can we not start a project?"

"How about it, do you want to play together again?"

"Okay!"

Zhang Guoli agreed without thinking, but he hesitated and asked, "How do you want to do it?"

"drag!"

Li Luo's was so crunchy.

Their eyes met and knowing smiles appeared on their faces at the same time.

"Yes~"

Rubbing his nose, Zhang Guoli lit a cigarette for himself: "Just confirm that you mean the same thing, then let me do it. I have more experience in this area, so don't let it go wrong."

"Ah."

Li Luo bit the filter and said thoughtfully, "Don't be too harsh. We still have to shoot the play seriously. It's not worth it to have a bad reputation."

"Besides, I will neither act nor direct this play."

“I can’t spare the time.”

"I am only responsible for checking the projects and scripts."

"no problem."

Although it was a bit unexpected, Zhang Guoli quickly agreed.

Li Luo's energy is beyond his imagination, but after all, he cannot be in two places at once and it is impossible for him to do every project himself, and the same is true for his own Changsheng Film and Television.

There are quite a few projects.

He actually just invested some money.

In addition, when Li Luo said that he was responsible for review, he was actually declaring his control over the project, and Zhang Guoli had no objection.

According to the rules of the underworld.

It was originally controlled by Xinghuo Film and Television.

Just now, Zhang Guoli took the initiative to take charge of the communication matters, which meant that he was responsible for assisting and would not compete with him for the dominant position.

With the level of tacit understanding between them, they could make things clear in just a few words.

The so-called dragging, the so-called operation.

In fact, they just wanted to find a way to keep Hao Jinming hooked, and then lure the other party into the game, let others pay a large amount and take a small share, and they pay a small amount and take a large share, so as to minimize the risk of losing money in the project.

Also maximize profits.

Judging from Hao Jinming's urgent performance today, it is not difficult to do this.

Colleagues have their own way of cooperating.

When dealing with laymen, there is another set of operating methods.

Zhang Guoli hesitated just now because he was afraid that Li Luo would not be able to accept this kind of thing, but now it seems that everyone hit it off.

Li Luo will never show mercy.

But there's no need to be too aggressive with this kind of thing.

Anyway, everything is laid out in the open, and it's a game of two willing to fight and one willing to be beaten. He would never do something like that where the investors lose everything while the director and producer earn enough to buy villas at home.

Confirm the general direction.

Li Luo turned his attention to the screen and concentrated on editing.

Zhang Guoli watched from the side.

He didn't leave quietly until the moon was above the treetops.

After a few days of delay.

Hao Jinming, who was so anxious that he was hanging up, could no longer sit still.

Since he couldn't contact Li Luo who was editing the film, he could only look for Zhang Guoli. Not only did this guy show up, he also brought a large, densely packed manuscript that contained all his past experiences.

Only the other party knows the degree of credibility.

But dramatic.

Absolutely no problem.

Such performance also allowed Zhang Guoli to thoroughly understand his background.

A few clever words of seduction can make the other party completely lose control. Compared with filming the story, the high-sounding identity of producer is equally tempting.

Hao Jinming accepted the olive branch with great joy.

With an investment share of 12 million, he holds 20% of the TV series' profits.

Transform yourself.

Become a project partner!Xinghuo Film and Television invested 5 million and holds a 50% share, while Changsheng Film and Television took the remaining 30% share, with an investment of 3 million. Both parties successfully leveraged large projects with small investments.

Of course, the 20 million is just an estimated investment.

At that time, whether it is overspending or surplus, it will fluctuate according to the corresponding proportion.

There is one more thing.

All the above-mentioned income is only the sales income of the TV station, and the rest plus the copyright belongs to the main controller, that is, Xinghuo Film and Television.

These are the main terms of the cooperation.

As for paying the majority and getting the smaller share, Hao Jinming had no complaints.

Having been able to immerse himself in the deep and complicated antique circle for many years, he is not a fool. Long before the contract was signed, he asked his connections to find friends in the film and television industry to find out how much he had lost.

That's right.

What a huge loss.

He was ready to suffer losses.

He still understands the principle that different trades have different worlds. Losing some money is actually nothing. Hao Jinming doesn't take the money too seriously. As long as he can successfully make the TV series and make it well, it's enough.

But you can't suffer too much loss, otherwise it won't sound good if it gets out.

But after some inquiries.

Others told him that this contract seemed unfair, but in fact, Xinghuo Film and Changsheng Film did not really cheat him.

TV dramas can’t be made just by having money.

Building up the front- and back-stage teams, project establishment, location selection, shooting, post-production and TV series sales, all these require the investment of intangible resources, which are simply out of reach for people without a certain level of industry experience.

All we can say is that he is on a rookie contract, so you can say it is a loss or not.

It mainly depends on how he personally sees it.

There are also implicit reminders that both Xinghuo Film and Changsheng Film and Television are not simple companies. The former has a very strong momentum, and the latter is an old production company.

There are many people who want to work with them, so at least they won’t have to worry about selling their films.

Even if I lose money.

You won’t lose much!

After confirming this, Hao Jinming happily signed the contract. Not only did he send Li Luo a huanghuali chair, he also said that he would be responsible for all the antique props used in the filming of the TV series.

The meaning is very clear.

You can pay more, and my brother will do the job well.

This play.

But you have to take good pictures!

Li Luo really couldn't refuse the other party's kindness, so he had to accept it "reluctantly". He then kindly invited Hao Jinming to be the artistic consultant of the TV series and play one of the roles.

As a result, Hao Jinming was completely delighted.

Of course, the middleman was not forgotten. With the recommendation of Zhang Guoli, Liu Jiacheng, a native Beijinger, happily took over the directorship of the new play.

Hello, I'm fine, everyone is fine, this has always been Li Luo's working principle.

This kind of TV series has a strong Beijing flavor.

It would actually be most appropriate to let people from Beijing take the photos.

Moreover, the other party's resume is not bad. He has directed seven or eight TV series in succession. There is no problem for him to work step by step. Anyway, he has control over the final effect of the film.

Thus.

Everyone got what they wanted.

While waiting for the script to be freshly released, everyone can do their job.

The only thing that made Hao Jinming feel regretful was that Li Luo stated that he would not play the leading male role, which made him extremely disappointed!

About this script.

Li Luo plans to use the original script as a first draft, and then find a veteran screenwriter in the industry to polish it. To be honest, this drama is quite good, especially the early parts, where the characters are all well-established.

But the subsequent plot was a bit dragged out and the character of Han Chunming was overplayed.

It turns out I didn’t understand.

Now I understand.

With the big investor standing behind him, this guy must be very powerful!

Now he plans to do something different.

The character of Han Chunming needs to be made more realistic. Truth, goodness and beauty are of course the mainstream, and also the charm of Han Chunming, but we also need to add some unscrupulousness in business or decisiveness in killing.

This makes the characters more vivid.

Su Meng also needs to make adjustments. She is trying to promote someone, not ruin Bian Xiaoxiao's popularity with the audience.

The audience's perception of the character will also be projected onto the actor.

Adjust the character.

Not just for Bian Xiaoxiao.

The main reason is that the design of this character is indeed problematic. From the beginning to the end, from the stupidity in the beginning to the ending, it is basically used to set off Han Chunming. This has to be said to be a failure in the original work.

The male and female protagonists each have their own strengths and weaknesses, and they are all vivid characters.

This is what he wants to see.

After settling the contract issues for "Under the Gate of Zhengyang", Li Luo had another script to write, plus the editing work of "Fall in Love with You Again", which made him extremely busy.

But this is the only way when you have to take on multiple roles.

Time passes day by day.

Dazzling.

It's already April.

On the evening of the 27th, the th Hong Kong Film Awards was held.

Li Luo rushed to Hong Kong Island in the midst of his busy schedule.

On the stage of the Grand Theater of the Cultural Center, he accepted the heavy trophy handed over by the award presenter and raised high with one arm his second Academy Award, the extremely dazzling Best New Director Award.

The stylist of "Raging Fire" also walked onto the stage happily and expressed his gratitude to Li Luo.

Then raised the trophy for Best Costume Design.

As for the Best Supporting Actor.

Liao Qizhi and Hong Tianming watched with regret as Liu Dehua walked onto the stage and won the award they had long dreamed of.

But for Hong Tianming, just being nominated is already a victory.

This is the first time he has been nominated for a major award.

That’s enough to show off!The Best Action Design Award went to Zhen Ziluan, while Chin Ka Lok unfortunately lost.

The Best Actor award was won by Jet Li.

This award.

Li Luo accepted defeat sincerely.

The other party is not only a veteran, but also gave a very convincing performance in "The Warlords".

Well-deserved Best Actor.

Although Fan Bingbing performed well in "The Disciples", she ultimately lost in the competition for Best Actress.

The trophy was taken away by Siqin Gaowa.

But Xiaopang has no regrets.

The role was just something she picked up, and even if she was just nominated for the three major film awards, the Golden Rooster, the Golden Image, and the Golden Horse, it would be something that can definitely be put on her resume, not to mention that she was nominated for Best Actress.

With this nomination.

I feel much more confident when I go out.

Unfortunately, Li Luo lost to his strong opponents in both the Best Director and Best Film nominations.

With Chen Jiashang in charge of the Academy Awards, there is no such thing as targeting.

It's simply because the opponent is too strong.

I can't accept it.

The crew of "Raging Fire" ended this year's Academy Awards with two trophies.

Central.

Even though it was already early in the morning, the nightclub was still bustling.

Especially after Li Luo, Hong Tianming, Qian Jiale and others entered the box, another round of lively cheers rang out. Seeing Janice Man's face full of desire, Li Luo smiled and took out the Golden Horse Trophy and handed it to her for her to examine carefully.

Yang Ying was not very interested in the trophy and hugged him excitedly.

"Hello, Sister Kim."

Li Luo smiled and shook hands with the girl's agent.

They can be considered as partners. Although Zhou Yougen is ultimately considering her own interests, she always gave up some of the agency contracts of Janice Man and Yang Ying to herself.

In the future, those two girls will be able to help me earn at least tens of millions.

For this reason.

He should greet people politely.

"Congratulations, Mr. Li."

Zhou Yougen shook his arm repeatedly, shook his head and smiled: "You can just call me Kim. I'm not Sister Kim in front of you."

"correct."

Turning back, the famous agent winked: "Alin, why don't you thank Luo Ge quickly."

"Thank you Luo Ge."

The woman sitting on the sofa stood up quickly at the other party's invitation, and stretched out her slender fingers with a smile on her face: "If I do something wrong, please give me more advice, Brother Luo."

The neon lights of the nightclub fell on Lynn Hung's graceful figure, making her even more sexy and charming.

Although her face is not as pretty as Yang Ying's.

But her figure instantly kills the angel baby, especially her long legs, which look so hot. I wonder what it feels like to stand on the Italian gun mount.

"You're welcome."

His eyes swept across the other person's legs, and Li Luo smiled and held the other person's hand: "In fact, I think with your ability, you will definitely play the role of Zhang Yongcheng very well."

"Don't thank me, I didn't help at all."

"Thank you Luo Ge."

This compliment made Xiong Dailin feel extremely comfortable, and the smile on her face became even more sincere.

"Arlene does have something to thank."

Zhou Yougen, who was standing next to him, interrupted and said gratefully, "And she really hasn't acted in any plays. Although she has enrolled in training classes, I hope Luo Ge will take care of her when the time comes."

It's not help that's wanted.

But Li Luo did not trip him up from behind.

When Zhou Yougen saw the news about Aaron Kwok accusing Li Luo, she almost fainted. She had finally managed to get Lynn Hung the opportunity to star in "Ip Man", and she didn't want it to be ruined.

No kidding.

As long as Li Luo expresses his dissatisfaction to Huang Baiming, the person who will be replaced will definitely be Lynn Hung.

The other party can't deal with King Guo.

It's totally fine to vent your anger on Lynn Hung.

Fortunately, everyone had dealt with each other before, and Li Luo had a good relationship with his artists. Zhou Yougeng called and tactfully expressed that he had no hostility, thus avoiding the crisis.

"piece of cake."

Li Luo laughed and then let go of Xiong Dailin's hand.

Greeting each other.

Everyone sat on the sofa.
