Although there was only one sentence and it was somewhat polite, it could not hide the domineering nature.
"Needless to say, the director must be this fat man. This is also a book I tailor-made for him." Li Mubai took a sip of coffee, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took two puffs before continuing: "
I will decide the number one male and female number two, you choose the others, and I will invest half of them."
Li Mubai was also very straightforward, stating his conditions directly without any embellishment.
"Are you kidding me?" At this time, Xiang Huasheng also finished reading the script. After hearing Li Mubai's words, he slapped the table so hard that his eyes almost popped out.
He also had to admit that this script was indeed good. However, he was very unhappy with the way Li Mubai spoke.
In Xiangjiang, although they still dare not go sideways, few people dare to provoke the Xiang brothers easily, and no one dares to negotiate terms with Yong Sheng.
"Why are you making movies?" Li Mubai ignored Xiang Huasheng, still looking at his tenth brother Xiang Huaqiang calmly, and said calmly.
"Of course it's to make money." Xiang Huaqiang can't say that making movies is for money laundering, and he did set up a movie company to get a foothold in this industry, and he also likes this industry.
Li Mubai could not understand why a member of a mixed society liked to make movies, but this did not prevent him from expressing his views.
"Our purpose is the same." Li Mubai said concisely and concisely: "The difference is that you are laymen."
Li Mubai is the only one who dares to talk to the Xiang brothers in Anyi like this, right?
After hearing Li Mubai's words, Wang Jing's forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat. This guy is really not a dragon but can't stand a river!
Even though he knew the other party's identity, he could still talk and laugh without any taboo. If it were him, Wang Jing believed that he would only dare to say these words in his heart, but he would definitely not dare to say them out.
"With Director Wang, I believe this movie will be brilliant and a hit." Xiang Huaqiang didn't speak. It was Xiang Huasheng who spoke. He had reached the limit of tolerance for Li Mubai's behavior. If it hadn't been for meeting Tenth Brother
Sitting there without any expression, he had already waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter what kind of writer or screenwriter you are, just put it down first."
"I am responsible for my script and my reputation." Li Mubai raised the corner of his mouth, stretched out a finger, and said: "This is the limit of cooperation. Everyone's time is precious. There is no need to waste it on this kind of work."
Arguing over simple and boring issues.”
"Let me listen to Mr. Mubai's opinions first." This time, Xiang Huaqiang took over Li Mubai's words without waiting for Xiang Hua Sheng to speak.
"The first male lead is Zhou Runfa, and the second lead is Liu Dehua. As for the female lead..." Li Mubai pondered for a while. If I remember correctly, it was Zhang Min who played the role of Gao Jin's wife, but this woman didn't have too many roles.
After much thought, Li Mubai gave up on the choice of the heroine, and instead locked the dice roll on Lin Qingxia. Then, Li Mubai made his suggestion.
Regarding the heroine, Li Mubai really didn't have many ideas, so when talking about the heroine, his tone was not so firm.
"I heard that Brother Ten also likes acting." Suddenly, Li Mubai thought that the guy who played Long Wu in the movie should be Brother Ten in front of him, so he followed suit and offered a favor, "I think Brother Ten
If you are interested, the role of Long Wu in this movie is very suitable for Brother Ten. He is also a very interesting and outstanding character. I believe that with the participation of Brother Ten, this film will be even more popular."
Li Mubai is not the kind of person who only knows how to take the straight path. After training in the officialdom for such a long time, Li Mubai still knows how to make a small compromise at the right time. Especially this kind of favor, even a dime.
It's a favor that doesn't cost anything, so Li Mubai naturally wants to package it well and send one as a gift.
"Ah? You know this, right?"
After listening to Li Mubai's words, Xiang Huaqiang's expressionless face showed a stiff smile.
However, these words truly spoke from his heart.
Xiang Huaqiang really likes acting, otherwise he would not be able to set up a film company. But so far, there is no film in which he appears. Although he occasionally makes a cameo and shows his face, the box office of those films can be said to be
It's all embarrassing. If this film can reach the box office of "Baby", it will almost be both fame and fortune for Xiang Huaqiang.
"I'm still a little worried. Although Long Wu doesn't have many lines, he's not an easy character to play." Xiang Huaqiang was rarely humble. In fact, he was shouting crazily in his heart: Tell me quickly, you will definitely be fine.
of.
Li Mubai seemed to have heard Xiang Huaqiang's thoughts. But of course he had to do a complete show. He pondered for a moment and frowned together. After a minute, he said: "Brother Ten, I want to
After much deliberation, I can't find anyone who is more suitable for this role than you. As long as Brother Ten plays his true character, Long Wu will be able to perform well and shine."
Who wouldn’t give free flattery?
Li Mubai's words directly spoke to Xiang Huaqiang's heart. He immediately threw his head back and laughed. He stood up without caring about his status, took Li Mubai's hand, and said with a smile: "As expected of a great writer and screenwriter.
, the vision is different. From now on, you Mu Bai will be my brother, No. 10. No matter what happens, as long as you say it, as long as I can do it, it is absolutely my duty to do it. "
Damn! Old fox.
Although the words are beautiful, if you think about it for a while, you can understand, Nima, what does it mean to do it?
Li Mubai was someone who had been in the harshest officialdom. Although he understood that this was a short ticket, he did not expose Xiang Huaqiang.
Later, Li Mubai suggested that Wang Jing should directly invest in the company without receiving any remuneration from the director. Such income would definitely be higher than the remuneration.
Xiang Huaqiang still wanted to give this bit of face to Li Mubai and Wang Jing, and did not raise any objection at all.
"How much are brothers Mubai prepared to invest?" After dealing with Wang Jing, Xiang Huaqiang is still more concerned about Li Mubai's investment. Although he is a local snake, Li Mubai is neither humble nor overbearing, so Xiang Huaqiang can understand that he is definitely not an ordinary person.
"Want to hear the truth or a lie?" Li Mubai drank all the coffee and looked at the two brothers opposite with a smile.
"How to tell the truth, and how to tell lies?"
Xiang Huaqiang felt that Li Mubai was really an interesting person. For many years, no one had ever spoken to him like this.
"The lie is that I am going to invest half of it, and the final benefit will be 50%." Li Mubai said calmly: "The truth is, I am not going to invest a penny, but if the box office exceeds 20 million, I will take 10%. If it exceeds 30%,
Ten million, I want fifty percent. If it’s less than twenty million, this script will be considered a gift from me, so make a friend.”
Seeing Li Mubai's confident expression, Xiang Huaqiang did not show any pretense and said loudly: "Since Mr. Mubai is so confident, it's a deal."
With a budget of five million, Xiang Huaqiang can still afford it. What he values more is fame. Yongsheng has been established for some time now, but he has never made any blockbuster movies. This makes his face very sad.
He had no face, and it was precisely because of this that he "invited" Wang Jing to help make a film.
If it is true, as Li Mubai said, that the box office exceeds 30 million, even if he makes less money, it will not matter, he can just pay the tuition by himself. And Xiang Huaqiang also wants something else, to join Li Mubai's true
If you have this ability, there is still a lot of possibility for cooperation in the future.
The two parties had a great time talking, and at least on the surface it seemed like a good start. Wang Jing could just leave the remaining details to discuss with Yongsheng's people. Li Mubai stood up to leave. His mission had been completed. He believed Wang Jing
Jing was able to make this movie a success. He was originally the director of this movie, but by some mistake, many things deviated from the time in another memory.
Although it was not a rare trip, Li Mubai also planned to take a stroll around Xiangjiang. Since he arrived in Xiangjiang, he had never taken a serious stroll. He was not going to write any more when he went back today, so he opened his legs and
I walked aimlessly on the streets of Xiangjiang.
Unknowingly, Li Mubai saw a children's playground, with a sign hanging on the gate, "Jesus Road Children's Playground."
Li Mubai had almost no good memories in his childhood. Suddenly he saw a playground, and he couldn't help walking towards it. Inside he saw many children, led by their parents and elders, all with happiness on their faces.
smile.
Although I couldn't participate in it, the atmosphere full of happiness and joy still came to my face.
Huh?
Just when Li Mubai was getting excited about shopping, he suddenly saw a woman holding a child.
The face of the child in the woman's arms cannot be seen, and it is impossible to tell how old it is. But judging from the height, it should be a child less than ten years old. Looking at the shoes the child is wearing, it should be a girl.
In the playground, there were many people holding children. However, just when Li Mubai's eyes inadvertently rested on the woman, an electric car passed by her, and a harsh horn sounded.
The woman was frightened and panicked, but the panic was far beyond the fright of the loudspeaker. What surprised Li Mubai the most was that despite such a loud movement, the child in her arms did not move at all and was still sleeping soundly.
Very heavy.
Deaf-mute?
It's not impossible.
However, if a person is really deaf and mute, how can he hear the trumpet?
Suddenly, three big words "Human Trafficker" appeared in Li Mubai's mind...
