This director is vindictive.

Chapter 13 The machine was turned on in the morning, and people went in in the afternoon
"Teacher, what's the situation with Senior Brother Ning Hao?" Chen Mo asked curiously.

"He is a very talented director, but unfortunately he has bad luck. He made his first movie a few years ago. Although it didn't make much money, it was still a rising star. But then he started another project and finally attracted investment, but in the end, the investor was arrested," Li Bin said with a strange expression.

Chen Mo's expression became even weirder.

"Then what?" Chen Mo was curious.

"Then? Naturally, he was in a state of panic. There were problems with his investors and his funds, and his project was also frozen. It was only unblocked some time ago, but time has changed. Although his project was able to be restarted, after all, that kind of thing happened, and no one dared to invest for a while. So, he has been soliciting investments everywhere." Li Bin explained.

Chen Mo silently mourned for Director Ning for half a second.

This is really unlucky!

"That's not right. He can direct movies by himself, so why would he be willing to be my assistant director?" Chen Mo thought that even if the other person's project failed and he was looking for investment everywhere, he would not be reduced to being his assistant director, let alone an assistant director for an idol drama.

"Haha, he had already started the project at that time, but it later failed and he lost a lot of money. He has been working to pay off his debts and takes any job that comes his way. Of course, it mainly depends on you. What is his biggest idea now?" Li Bin asked with a smile.

"To raise investment for the movie?" Chen Mo immediately understood.

"Yes! Moreover, if you can handle him, then your crew's filming team can handle it directly, so, what do you think? Do you have confidence?" Li Bin said teasingly.

Chen Mo's eyes suddenly lit up.

Using a film team to shoot a TV series, or an idol drama, no matter whether it is a waste of talent or not, it is definitely reliable!

As for whether he can deal with Ning Hao?
That depends on how much he needs the money and how urgent his need is.

"Yes, there must be!" Chen Mo couldn't help but be happy, then raised his head to meet Li Bin's cunning eyes, and Chen Mo couldn't help laughing.

"Teacher, are you familiar with Senior Brother Ning?" Chen Mo asked again with some curiosity.

"Yeah, very familiar! He was quite unlucky. He called me in the morning to show off, saying that the phone was finally turned on. But who would have thought that the investor was arrested in the afternoon." Speaking of this, Li Bin felt a little sad for him.

It would be fine if he just had talent but was not appreciated, but the key point is that he is just so unlucky.

"Pfft!" Chen Mo couldn't help laughing.

I didn't expect that a director who was successful in his previous life would be so unlucky in this life.

The machine was turned on in the morning, and people went in in the afternoon. It felt inexplicably funny.

Li Bin made an appointment with Ning Hao at a small restaurant next to the Beijing Film Academy.

Soon, Chen Mo and Li Bin saw a man in his thirties with a slightly tired face appear at the door.

Li Bin immediately waved at him: "Mouse, this way!"

Ning Hao looked exhausted and had obviously rushed over. When he heard Li Bin's voice, he turned around and walked towards him.

Then he sat down directly, picked up the kettle on the table, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it voraciously.

"I'm so thirsty!" He put the cup back on the table after drinking it, and wiped the water stains on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and said.

"Where have you been? You look like a refugee." Li Bin teased curiously.

"Hey, don't mention it. It's all tears if I talk too much. Hey, Chen Mo? Oh my god, brother, you are really awesome. You even won the first case of online defamation. Awesome!" Ning Hao said, and suddenly looked at Chen Mo. He recognized him at once, and said enthusiastically.

"Okay, stop trying to fool people with your tricks. Chen Mo is my student and he wants to ask you for help." Li Bin said unhappily.

"How did I fool people? To be honest, the Stab Cult's affairs really disgusted me. Chen Mo's actions made me feel relieved, didn't I?" Ning Hao said dissatisfiedly.

"By the way, tell me more specifically, I heard that you are planning to reconcile with them?" He then looked at Chen Mo with a curious look on his face.

You can see that he is really curious.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "The lawyers said it's hard to define the nature of those people's speech, so there's actually no need to go to court. So naturally, we'll just have to get as much as we can."

When Ning Hao heard Chen Mo's words, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"How much can you get? Tell me."

"Haozi, that's enough, aren't you? You're so obsessed with money?" Li Bin frowned. "What's wrong with me being obsessed with money? I wish I could sell myself right now, but unfortunately, I can't get the price right." Ning Hao said without any shame.

"Brother Ning, do you really want to sell it?" Chen Mo suddenly asked.

"Eh?" Li Bin and Ning Hao both looked at Chen Mo strangely.

"Ahem, I'm just short of an assistant director. So, Brother Ning, if you really need investment, why don't you just come and help me, and I'll invest in you then." Chen Mo explained quickly.

"You're going to invest in me? That means you can really make a lot this time?" Ning Hao's eyes lit up when he heard that.

"It should be no problem to add up to several million." Chen Mo didn't know how much he could get, but he thought that even if each of those people could get tens or hundreds of thousands, there were so many of them, and when added together, it must be a lot.

That is to say, Chen Mo didn't want to let Fang Xiaoxiao go, otherwise there would be more.

Ning Hao suddenly looked at Li Bin with a questioning look in his eyes.

"You can consider it!" Li Bin didn't say much, but his meaning was expressed.

"How long will it take? What project? Are you the director?" Ning Hao asked three questions in a row.

"The sooner the better, but if everything goes well, it should be done in three months. As for the project, here, this is the script. Yes, I'll be the director." Chen Mo said as he took out the script and placed it in front of Ning Hao.

Ning Hao picked up the script and saw the title of the script on the cover. His reaction was no different from Li Bin's.

However, he did not rush to ask questions, but opened the script and saw the storyboard script inside.

He is different from Li Bin. He is a director and is very familiar with this thing. In Li Bin's eyes, the storyboards drawn by Chen Mo can be said to be just average, but in his eyes, he has captured some highlights.

"Is there something about it? Your main focus is to shoot it however beautifully it can be." Ning Hao couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

"As for idol dramas, they're all about how beautiful the characters are," Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Is this script "Boys Over Flowers"? "Meteor Garden"? Have you bought the license?" he asked again.

"Bought it!"

"How much did it cost?"

"one million!"

"It's not a loss!"

The two of them asked and answered each other, and they seemed to have a great understanding of each other.

Ning Hao could guess some of the things even without them being said.

"This title is interesting! However, what are your plans for the TV series' broadcast channels?" Ning Hao raised another crucial question.

"Brother Ning has connections in this area?" Chen Mo was a little surprised.

"I've been working like a slave for the past few years and have gotten to know some people, but I don't think they'll be of any use to me. No, your teacher Li is right here, so you really don't need to worry about this." He shook his head first, then looked at Li Bin with ill intent.

Chen Mo really didn't know that Li Bin had connections in this area.

I couldn't help but look at Li Bin.

In fact, it’s not that Chen Mo himself has no connections. His family in his hometown does have some connections in this regard. It’s just that although there is also a satellite TV station in his hometown, there are still differences between satellite TV stations.

I guess the satellite TV station in my hometown can't afford a high budget to purchase film and television dramas from outside.

However, this is Chen Mo's last trump card.

Of course, it is impossible to make a loss. Just because "Boys Over Flowers" was once popular in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau, this remake will not be afraid of not being able to sell as long as it is not too bad.

The worst that can happen is you'll earn less.

But if Li Bin has connections in this area, that would of course be even better.
