China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 686: Unreliable Team
Li Muge was obviously a little surprised.

Yang Yang actually wants to emulate Da Tian Tian? This young man has ideas.

"As long as it's an investment, there are risks," Li Muge reminded.

There are some things he didn't say. The reason why Da Tiantian's investment was successful was because Li Yu helped him with advice behind the scenes. Otherwise, Da Tiantian would have fallen into countless traps.

As the saying goes, different trades mean different things. Acting is one thing, investing is another, and investing in TV series is another.

After Fan Xiaopang opened his own studio, he invested in and filmed some movies, but he was able to do so with the support of Li Yu and other bigwigs.

Moreover, Fan Xiaopang’s studio team is much stronger than Yang Yang’s.

Fan Xiaopang’s company is named after its studio.

To say that Yangyang's studio is a makeshift team is an understatement.

Because a makeshift team is just not professional enough. A makeshift team can accomplish a task, but they may only get 40 or 50 points out of a full score of 100.

Yang Yang's personal staff is pitifully shabby. I heard that he has only 6 people including bodyguards.

There are many times when we attend events and mistakes occur because the team is too small or not professional enough.

Also, the retouched photos of the event released by his studio are not as good as the raw photos posted by fans or the photoshopped photos by fans. It's outrageous.

Why does Li Muge feel that such a crappy team is so unreliable when investing in a TV series?

To be frank, this is even less reliable than Li Yu’s first shoot.

Although Li Yu was a student when he filmed his first movie, he was studying directing, which was his major.

Moreover, Li Yu's initial team was formed with the help of the school, and many of them were seniors from various departments of the school.

These seniors just don’t have enough work experience. After all, they are professionals. For example, the photographer is from the photography department.

If Li Yu's team in the initial stage can be described as beggars.

Then Yangyang can’t even be considered a beggar, perhaps not even a beggar among beggars.

“Of course I know that investment is risky, and I have discussed it carefully with my team, and everyone thinks it is feasible.

First of all, I am very popular. If I invite another popular actress to act with me, there will definitely be a TV station willing to purchase this work.

The problem of sales has been solved, so the problem of investment is naturally not difficult."

Yang Yang said confidently.

Li Muge was silent for a while, then asked, "Excuse me, who are the people in your team? Or how many people are there?"

Yang Yang: “…”

Yang Yang was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

If you answer truthfully, it will seem unprofessional and a bit embarrassing.

His team only consists of his assistant agent, and if there is one more person, it would be his father.

This group is the core decision-making body that discusses important matters with him.

His future stunning film "My Human Fireworks" will be invested by his father's company.

Seeing that Yang Yang had not responded for a long time, Li Muge knew that he might have offended Yang Yang.

So he changed the subject and asked another question: "You said you bought the adaptation rights to a novel. What kind of novel is it?"

When this was mentioned, Yang Yang, who was well prepared, immediately took out a book and gave it to Li Muge: "This is the book, the title is "A City Waiting for You." If Li Muge from the previous life came back through time, he would definitely be scared to death on the spot.

It’s not enough that you cheated me once, you want to cheat me again, right?
That’s right, the film “A City, Waiting for You” was adapted into a film and television drama with a new name called “My Human Fireworks”, which tells the story of Song Yan and Xu Qin.

In Yang Yang's masterpiece, Yang Yang and the leading female character were completely outshined by the second male character in terms of both character setting and acting skills.

The male lead is not likable, so it is common for the audience to pair up the female lead and the male lead.

The female lead is not likable, and many viewers support the male lead and the female lead as a pair.

The leading male and female actors both fail at the same time, and the biggest winner is the second male lead. This kind of strange situation is relatively rare.

Because the No. 1 male and No. 1 female characters are the protagonists, the screenwriter and director will definitely focus on them.

There are many times when, in order to highlight the perfection of the leading male and female characters and prevent the supporting roles from stealing the limelight from the leading male and female characters, directors and screenwriters will even darken the second male and female characters and make them more evil.

Although he had all the advantages, he still gave the biggest bonus to the actor who played the second male lead. He definitely deserves the Best Good Guy Award.

Li Muge looked at the novel in his hand. He did not agree to Yang Yang's request immediately. "Let me finish reading this novel first and then think about it carefully. This novel may not be within my comfort zone. If I can't handle it, and I rashly agree to it, wouldn't that be a mistake for you in the end?"

Li Muge is a man who understands the ways of the world. He put it so nicely that "I don't trust you and need to research it."

If Da Tiantian put a novel or script in front of him, he would agree without hesitation.

Because Da Tiantian would usually consult Li Yu before giving it to him.

Da Tiantian has been brought to him, which proves that he has been recognized by Li Yu. The probability of being a scam has dropped sharply.

Yang Yang had anticipated this situation, so it was normal for Li Muge to consider it.

So he chatted with Li Muge for a few more words and left.

……

The next day, Li Muge told Li Yu about this.

When Li Yu heard that he and Yang Yang had bought a novel and were planning to invest in it himself, he felt like laughing.

When Li Yu saw that the name of the novel was "A City Waiting for You", he was completely overwhelmed.

"My Human Fireworks" and Song Yan, Li Muge and Yang Yang are inevitable in this life, right?
If "My Human Fireworks" is really filmed like the previous life, those young actors who are envious of "Hotel Del Luna" will wake up laughing in their dreams at night.

I have seen people give away their heads, but never seen people give their heads away like this.

Not only will Yang Yang be laughed at by people, but Li Muge will also suffer a Waterloo in his career and suffer considerable negative impact.

In the end, this drama is a big pit. If you jump into it, both Yang Yang and Li Muge will be badly screwed.

"What do you think of this novel?" Li Yu asked Li Muge after holding back his laughter.

"I watched it for one night and I felt that there were many problems. Especially the scene where the hero and heroine were in the high school bathroom. If it was filmed, the audience would definitely scold it.

It might even attract some criticism from official media, as the hero’s character is not very likable.

Later, he proudly boasted to the heroine's brother that he had slept with the heroine.

The protagonist's profession is very glorious and great in real life, but the protagonist in the book looks like this. Are you sure this is not discrediting this profession?
If we want to film it, we have to make a lot of changes, otherwise, I think the chances of failure are high.”

Li Muge commented.

This is his opinion. Although he is not good at modern urban dramas, he also knows what is pleasing and what is annoying.
