Because Mao Lixin had already prepared, they went directly to the conference room of the film and television production department as soon as they arrived at the company.
Looking at the dozen or so people already seated, Chen Mo raised his eyebrows slightly. Except for the director Fang Yan and the screenwriter Lu Chen, he didn't know anyone else.
"You all must know who the person next to me is. Mr. Chen came here to firstly bring some of his artists to audition for our new TV series "Mountains and Rivers Love Song", and secondly to transfer the ownership of a TV series script to We, so I invite everyone to discuss it together.”
As soon as he sat down, Mao Lixin spoke out his purpose.
Seeing everyone's eyes focused on him, Chen Mo suddenly felt a little pressure, and quickly secretly took a breath to calm down: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. Originally, I was very optimistic about my script, but Xingluo Entertainment has just been established. , we need funds very much to operate, so we can only transfer it.”
"It seems that Mr. Chen is very confident in his script and has determined that our Lingyun Video will definitely take it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in his forties sneered, and the disdain could be clearly seen on his face.
Mao Lixin immediately glared at the former, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, this is Mei Shouquan, our company's silver medal screenwriter. He has written two TV series scripts and a movie script. Whether it is ratings or box office, it is very good." It’s very good, and the company is planning to re-sign an A-level contract with screenwriter Mei.”
"Well, I've also read Mei's work, and it's really good!"
Chen Mo didn't seem to care about Mao Lixin's words, and he also smiled: "But, I still think my script is better. Of course, it's just based on the script."
"Hmph! According to Mr. Chen's words, you already have the ability to be a gold medal screenwriter?!"
"Thank you very much, Editor Mei, for the compliment. Chen is really unworthy of it!"
Although he said he was ashamed, no one would think that he was really ashamed if he looked at the expression on Chen Mo's face, which made Mei Shouquan choked and speechless.
At this time, another person said with a smile: "Mr. Chen is indeed very confident, but being good at writing songs and composing music does not mean that he is good at writing scripts. Could it be that Mr. Chen thinks that writing scripts is too simple?"
"Oh? I wonder who this gentleman is?"
"Hahaha, Mr. Chen, let me introduce it to you. This is our company's gold medal screenwriter Wei Delu Wei."
Hearing this person's name, the corner of Chen Mo's mouth twitched. He thought of the memories in his mind, among which there seemed to be a mythological drama about the three stars of good fortune, longevity and longevity.
Now that Mei Shouquan and Wei Delu have arrived, the only thing left is Wu Fuqi. Wouldn't the three stars have arrived?
Holding back his smile, Chen Mo looked at the gold-medal screenwriter: "Since Editor Wei is a gold-medal screenwriter, excuse me, I wonder how many awards the scripts written by Wei have won in Hong Kong? And what kind of gold-rich awards are they?"
Xiangjiang is part of the Yan Kingdom, but there are considerable differences in social form and culture and education.
The same goes for the entertainment industry. Internal entertainment has its own awards, and Hong Kong has its own awards. But when it comes to the value of the awards, Hong Kong seems to have been entertaining itself these years.
Of course, it’s not that Xiangjiang’s entertainment industry isn’t strong, it’s just that there are too few people who recognize it.
Afterwards, Chen Mo was like Kong Ming quarreling with a group of scholars, and he stunned the screenwriters in the entire conference room. He doesn't like to offend people, but he won't tolerate it if they slap him in the face.
"Okay, Mr. Chen is our guest, how do you look like this?"
Seeing that the trouble was almost over, Mao Lixin quickly came out and acted as peacemaker.
In the final analysis, the reason why everyone allowed everyone to make things difficult for Chen Mo was because he wanted to hit the latter so that he could lower the price in the subsequent negotiations.
It's just that the effect was a bit unsatisfactory. The person was not hit, but he was made quite angry.
After suppressing everyone's anger, Mao Lixin looked at Chen Mo: "Mr. Chen, I'm also very curious about what your script is like. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, so we still have to read the content of the script first. Let’s continue discussing!”
"That's natural. Then I have to trouble Assistant Wu Xin."
As he spoke, Chen Mo took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and handed it to Wu Xin's hand.
After getting the consent of his immediate boss, the latter took the USB flash drive out of the conference room and came back not long after holding a thick stack of documents.
"This is the TV series script I wrote on sudden inspiration last week - "Snow Leopard". Let's take a look first."
Seeing that everyone in the meeting had received the script, Chen Mo said with a smile. After finishing speaking, he leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to fall asleep.
About an hour later, when he heard someone calling him, Chen Mo opened his eyes sleepily: "It turns out to be Editor Lu. I wonder if you have any problems?"
"Mr. Chen, the plot of your script is very exciting, and the portrayal of each character is also very good. But there is one thing I don't understand. Why haven't I heard the names of several countries that appear in it? "
This was not only Lu Chen's doubt, but also the doubt in the minds of more than a dozen people in the conference room.
"Well, let me name a few countries, and you will understand after combining some of the history of our Yan Kingdom." Chen Mo put away his smile at this time, and his expression became very serious, "First it is our Yan Kingdom, and then not The taller Japanese country, and the once very arrogant Chang country.”
"I understand. Mr. Chen did this because he didn't want to cause unnecessary disputes, right?"
Lu Chen nodded. After Chen Mo's reminder, he also thought of the unbearable history of Yan Kingdom nearly a hundred years ago.
No wonder they didn't think of it at the first time. During that period of history, Xiangjiang didn't suffer too much impact. Because at that time, Xiangjiang was still under the rule of the Three Island Kingdom, and it was not forcibly recovered by Chengzu until the last thirty years or so.
At this time, Mei Shouquan jumped out again: "So, Mr. Chen's script is actually a war script with a patriotic theme? In this case, I think it may be difficult for our company..."
"Oh? Mei, do you mean you don't like patriotic themes? Or do you mean you don't think you are from Yan country?"
"Mr. Chen, what do you mean? When will I..."
Before Mei Shouquan finished speaking, Mao Lixin glared back at him. Thinking of what he had just said, he broke into a cold sweat.
It is true that some people in Xiangjiang do not have much patriotic feelings, but this matter must not be said openly.
Moreover, he also made a mistake. How could he, a small silver medal screenwriter, be able to say something like this that was related to a decision? The most taboo thing in the workplace is overstepping one's duties, and it's always the lower one who gets the upper hand.
Mao Lixin coughed awkwardly: "Mr. Chen must have misunderstood. I think Editor Mei means that we have never made a TV series of this kind and type. If we take it over rashly, there will be considerable risks."
"Is that so? I think it is precisely because we have never filmed before that we should try it more. We can't make our own path narrower and narrower, right? Or does Mr. Mao think that Lingyun Video is afraid to accept the challenge of a new project? "
Chen Mo's words directly made Mao Lixin choke on his saliva: "What are you talking about, Mr. Chen? Why should we, Lingyun Video, be afraid of challenges?"
At this point, he couldn't lose the company's reputation even if he had to bite the bullet. Thinking of Mr. Li's strong style of doing things, he couldn't help but shudder.
But he was stunned as soon as the words came out. Is it so easy to agree to something?
Knowing that he had fallen into a trap, Mao Lixin could only endure it, and then gave Mei Shouquan a fierce look again. If it weren't for this guy, how could he have fallen into the opponent's trap? It seems that the matter of re-signing the contract needs to be considered again.
Meeting the former's gaze, Mei Shouquan was startled and seemed to have thought of something.
Chen Mocai was too lazy to pay attention to this, and immediately showed a smile on his face: "Mr. Mao, I know that Lingyun Video is entering the domestic entertainment market, so I think the TV series "Snow Leopard" is very suitable. Let's not talk about how big the domestic entertainment market will be. People accept it. Just talking about the review issue, as long as there is no shocking plot, I think the mainland officials will not be stuck with such a patriotic-themed TV series, right? Maybe they will give some support!"
"Haha, it seems that Mr. Chen has made sufficient preparations. I think "Snow Leopard" was not created by Mr. Chen's temporary inspiration, or maybe Mr. Chen has more than just the script of "Snow Leopard", right?"
Looking at Mao Lixin with a meaningful smile, Chen Mo also laughed, tacitly understanding.
Then he continued: "So Mr. Mao, should we talk about the price next?"
(To be continued!)
