After the failure of "The Comedian", Wu Yusen's career fell into a low ebb. It has been a while since he returned to Hong Kong. Although he has temporarily joined Xu Ke's studio, the two still have the same philosophy in movies.
There are many differences, and Wu Yusen is also very troubled by this. He has been looking for an opportunity to break through.
Just as he finished breakfast and was about to go to the studio, he suddenly received a phone call.
"Are you Mr. Wu Yusen?" A beautiful female voice came from the microphone.
"Yes, who are you?" Wu Yusen frowned slightly.
"I am Huo Wenxi, director of the Artist Department of Oriental DreamWorks. I don't know if Director Wu is available. Our boss, Mr. Li Mubai, would like to treat you to tea. I wonder what time is more convenient for Director Wu?" Huo Wenxi held a small mobile phone. This is Li Mubai.
Changed it for her.
Oriental DreamWorks? Huo Wenxi? Li Mubai?
He had never heard of the previous name, and Huo Wenxi had no impression of it. However, the last name seemed a bit familiar to Wu Yusen.
Li Mubai!
He is the screenwriter and producer of "God of Gamblers"!
These days, the front pages of almost all newspapers are publishing news about Li Mubai. Whether it is his novels or his scripts, they are almost becoming gods to this guy.
No wonder, after Li Mubai first arrived, two protagonists became popular in the first film. One was a newcomer in the wireless training class, and the other was a bad gambler that no one wanted to find. The second film was even more enviable,
The fat boy who is known as box-office poison has suddenly become very popular. And in Hong Kong, young people can be seen everywhere with chocolates stuffing their mouths.
"I have time now." Wu Yusen agreed immediately with excitement.
This kind of opportunity is definitely rare. There will be no director in Xiangjiang who refuses Li Mubai's script. His script means box office and reputation.
In less than half an hour, Wu Yusen appeared in Li Mubai's office at Oriental DreamWorks.
Looking at this young, billionaire screenwriter who is only 22 years old, Wu Yusen felt very complicated.
Li Mubai was very polite, stood up, shook hands with Wu Yusen, and said: "Director Wu, please sit down. Tea or coffee?"
"Coffee bar." Wu Yusen did not expect that Li Mubai opposite was so polite. On the contrary, he was a little nervous.
In addition to being a screenwriter, Li Mubai is also the boss of a company. He has countless things to do every day. When he meets him, it is definitely not for a cup of coffee.
"Director Wu, I heard that you are still free." Li Mubai got straight to the point and asked directly.
"Yes." There is nothing to hide. Although he is in Xu Ke's studio, it is only a cooperative relationship.
"I have a script in my hand. Director Wu might as well take a look at it first." Li Mubai pushed the script forward on the table.
"Rush Hour"
Wu Yusen saw four vigorous and powerful characters written on it.
As a director, nothing attracts him more than a script.
"I am very optimistic about Director Wu's ability and would like to invite Director Wu to join my Oriental Dream Factory." Seeing Wu Yusen close the script with an excited expression, Li Mubai knew that there was basically no big problem with this matter. Then, he said
: "In addition to this script, I have also prepared scripts for Director Wu that will be filmed in the next two years. Each script is worth no less than 50 million. I don't know if Director Wu is interested in accepting this relatively hard and wealthy project.
What about challenging tasks?”
Two years of scripts!
The production cost is no less than 50 million!
Just these two items make it impossible for countless people to find any reason to refuse. As a director, what he desires most is to have a film to shoot and a good script.
Li Mubai's ability to write scripts is obvious to all.
"Thank you Mr. Li for giving me such an opportunity." Although Wu Yusen couldn't figure out why Li Mubai took a fancy to him, he was known as a dazzling person in the film and television industry. Although it was a bit exaggerated, his two scripts
How many people have become famous, this fact makes everyone envious.
"Welcome Director Wu to join our team." Li Mubai stood up and said with a smile.
After sending Wu Yusen away, Li Mubai felt that he still needed to step up his poaching work. He didn't want the company to remain empty after moving. That would be a bit of a failure.
Although Liu Ruyan's arrival has not alleviated the shortage of personnel for Oriental DreamWorks, it has attracted the attention of many people.
Everyone knows that this genius Li is originally from the mainland, and this beautiful woman who recently joined Oriental DreamWorks is also from the mainland. If he says that he has nothing to do with Li Mubai, no one will believe it. But no one can judge
What is the relationship between the two people? They should not be lovers. Because after Li Mubai arrived, Liu Ruyan was sent directly to Huo Wenxi.
Although Liu Ruyan is also an actress, she realized after arriving in Xiangjiang that she had a lot to learn. First of all, language is the biggest obstacle. Although Xiangjiang does not speak a foreign language, she is not proficient in Cantonese.
Huo Wenxi specially arranged an assistant for Liu Ruyan who could speak Mandarin and Mandarin. In addition to watching some Xiangjiang movies every day so that she could quickly understand the style of Xiangjiang movies, she also received some training.
Although the days were a bit busy, they were very fulfilling. Perhaps because of Li Mubai, people in the company took good care of her, which also made Liu Ruyan's sorrow of being away from her hometown much less intense.
However, what people didn't expect was that on the third day after Liu Ruyan arrived in Xiangjiang, several gossip newspapers in Xiangjiang published an explosive news.
"Hong Kong's billionaire screenwriter and two beauties went to a candlelight dinner together. Is it a romance or an unspoken rule?"
Under the title, there are four photos of Li Mubai, Huo Wenxi and Liu Ruyan having dinner together. In addition to this photo, there are two more photos of the three of them walking on the road, accompanied by two beauties. They look very good.
intimate.
However, I don't know if a newspaper has published similar news, and at least five to six gossip tabloids have published the photos. Some of them even used very unflattering language, describing Li Mubai as a beast with a human face.
.
Li Mubai didn't know it at the time, but the phone was ringing non-stop after he arrived at the company. Although Li Mubai hadn't been in Xiangjiang for a long time, he still had good connections.
In addition to expressing their support and indignation in words, they also comforted Li Mubai. Xiangjiang is such an environment. Especially as a famous person, if there is no gossip or scandal, you would be embarrassed to say that you are in the entertainment industry.
.
Huo Wenxi didn't feel too angry after learning the news. This was nothing new in Xiangjiang. And this was not a bad thing for Liu Ruyan, at least it attracted public attention.
As a newcomer, it is definitely a good thing to have such an opportunity. Moreover, she also persuaded Liu Ruyan not to take this seriously, and told her that this was a characteristic of Xiangjiang.
What Huo Wenxi didn't expect was that Liu Ruyan was very open-minded about this kind of thing. After patiently listening to Huo Wenxi's persuasion, he just smiled slightly, indicating that he didn't pay much attention to the matter.
Maybe this has something to do with her experience. She has even seen more dirty methods. For Liu Ruyan, these are just a little trick.
After Liu Ruyan's performance shocked Huo Wenxi, she suddenly became very curious. She also heard that Li Mubai had several good friends and cooperation partners in the mainland. In front of her
The appearance of a person who has a little relationship with Li Mubai can already see through the essence of the problem and remain unfazed. So what will happen to the other people?
This man from the mainland is really mysterious!
As the person involved, Li Mubai didn't pay much attention to it at the beginning. He thought that things like gossip would gradually calm down in two or three days. He still followed the previously planned plan to recruit people.
However, something unexpected happened. Because Li Mubai did not stand up and make any statement or provide any relevant clarification. This matter became more and more intense, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as overwhelming.
However, what finally aroused Li Mubai's anger was that a group of reporters actually came to the company to conduct interviews. What was even more arrogant was that paparazzi appeared even where Li Mubai lived.
Whether a public figure or an ordinary person, they all have their own desires. When normal life has been disturbed by a group of boring paparazzi, even the best temper can no longer tolerate it.
Li Mubai also knew that if he didn't stand up and do something at this time, the arrogance of these paparazzi would become even more arrogant.
At the Peninsula Hotel, Li Mubai held a press conference. This was Li Mubai's first initiative to make an announcement. Before eight o'clock that day, reporters from all newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong gathered outside the hotel.
At nine-thirty, Li Mubai appeared at the Peninsula Hotel on time.
Before Li Mubai could speak, the reporters below asked questions in a flurry, and the scene became very chaotic.
But Li Mubai seemed to have not seen him, standing there quietly without saying a word.
When the reporters asked questions for five minutes, they found that their efforts were completely useless. Li Mubai didn't seem to have any intention of answering the questions, and everyone seemed to understand something.
After the reporters quieted down, Li Mubai tapped the microphone to see if it was working.
Even though this was just a small gesture, it made all the reporters present realize that what Li Mubai said next might very well become the most important news tomorrow.
