My wife always wants me, a big star, to eat soft rice

Chapter 214 Unexpected Profits

Sometimes the time to make a movie and a TV series is almost the same, but when making a movie, more attention will be paid to the processing of the plot, especially some important details.

There are many plots in TV dramas, so it takes a lot of time to shoot, and it is also tiring for the director. Xu Mulin is very disgusted with filming TV dramas.

But it’s different if it’s a movie, especially a special effects movie. When making a special effects movie, the shooting is often relatively simple. You just need to control the plot and ensure that the actors’ acting skills are not too big. The special effects movies are more difficult. make.

Of course, at this time, Xu Mulin didn't know what kind of movie Lu Ming was going to shoot. However, after hearing Lu Ming say it was a movie, Xu Mulin felt relieved. It's troublesome to get up.

As soon as he is old, he has to run around with the crew, and often stay up late and work overtime to film night scenes, which is not friendly to him.

Immediately, Xu Mulin asked Lu Ming, "What kind of movie is it?"

Lu Ming replied: "Sci-fi movies, movies about saving the earth."

Hearing this, Xu Mulin was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "Sci-fi movie?"

"Director Lu, don't you know that domestic audiences don't like to watch domestic science fiction films?"

Lu Ming replied with a smile: "It is precisely because we know that they don't like to watch it, that's why we shoot it. If it's done well, it's a classic. If it's not done well, no one will say anything. After all, the audience themselves don't like domestic science fiction. There were too many expectations for the film.”

Hearing what Lu Ming said, Xu Mulin felt that it made some sense. However, if the audience doesn't like the sci-fi film produced, it will damage his reputation at that time, and he will not do such things that damage his reputation. .

He is already in retirement, so he has to avoid losing his insurance at the end of the year.

It’s okay to make some mistakes when you are young, you can easily correct them, and the audience is a little more tolerant. If he makes bad movies at this time, the audience will definitely scold him to death.

Thinking of this, Xu Mulin said: "Director Lu, please send me the script for a look first. If the script is good, I'll think about it."

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, I'll send it to your mailbox right now."

"Let's do this first. After you finish reading the script, if you think it's good, just give me a call."

"Well, okay."

After Xu Mulin finished speaking, Lu Ming hung up the phone, and then sent the script of "The Wandering Earth" to Xu Mulin.

After Xu Mulin received Lu Ming's script, he read it seriously.

For this script, Xu Mulin is somewhat interested. Saving all mankind is such a lofty goal.

However, for sci-fi films, Xu Mulin is still a bit afraid to touch them. If the film is not made well, or if the audience doesn't like it, his reputation may be ruined.

While reading the script, Xu Mulin thought about whether to accept the show.

On the other side, Lu Ming was also busy with his own affairs while waiting for Xu Mulin's call.

However, Lu Ming did not wait for his call.

In the afternoon, Lu Ming picked up his mobile phone and looked at it. He thought to himself, it's already this time, and he hasn't called yet. Could it be that he doesn't like the script of this drama?Or is it that he doesn't want to make film and television dramas, and plans to retire completely?

Lu Ming really wanted to call Xu Mulin and ask, but considering that if he took the initiative to call, it might annoy Xu Mulin, so he restrained himself.

Xu Mulin hasn't called for so long, most likely because he doesn't want to accept this show. After all, it's a sci-fi movie, and this movie is about saving all mankind. Besides, it's not the type of superhero. I don't know if it will be liked by the audience.

Lu Ming thought to himself, if Xu Mulin doesn't accept this drama, should he give up this drama temporarily and choose other movies?Anyway, he still has a lot of movie scripts in his script library.

Just when he was thinking this way, his cell phone rang. Lu Ming picked up the cell phone and saw that it was Xu Mulin calling, so he immediately connected the call.

After answering the phone, Lu Ming took the initiative to ask: "Director Xu, what do you think of this film? Are you interested?"

Xu Mulin smiled and said, "I'm interested, but this kind of subject matter is quite special, I'm afraid I won't be able to control it."

Hearing this, Lu Ming's brain froze. Does Xu Mulin mean that he doesn't plan to accept this drama anymore?

Just when Lu Ming thought so, Xu Mulin continued: "But I can try, I haven't made many sci-fi movies in my life."

Seeing that Xu Mulin agreed, Lu Ming immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The director of "The Wandering Earth" has been found, and then another director will be found. The filming of "The Wandering Earth" and "On the Journey" can start at the same time.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming said: "Director Xu, will you come to our company to sign a contract tomorrow?"

Xu Mulin said, "I'll come tomorrow afternoon."

Speaking of this, Xu Mulin continued: "Let's talk about some specific issues after we meet. That's it for today."

"Okay, let's talk tomorrow."

After Lu Ming finished speaking, Xu Mulin hung up the phone. After Lu Ming put down the phone, he smiled. He thought the movie was just given up, but he didn't expect that there was still a big director willing to pick it up.

Since someone is willing to take it, let's shoot this movie to see the effect, maybe the audience will like it.

In the afternoon of the next day, Lu Ming and Xu Mulin discussed how to shoot the movie "The Wandering Earth", and Xu Mulin also helped Lu Ming estimate the cost of this movie. Compared with other movies, this movie The cost of a movie is much higher, at least [-] million.

You know, this movie made by Lu Ming is an online movie, which will save a lot of publicity costs in the middle, but it still needs such a high cost. After all, it is a special effects movie, and the high cost is normal. Lu Ming doesn’t particularly care about it. As long as the filming is liked by the audience, it doesn't matter how high the cost is, as long as it can make money.

In the following week, Lu Ming began to form the film crews of "The Wandering Earth" and "On the Journey", and soon the two films were launched.

After all the film and television dramas were turned on, Lu Ming felt a lot more relaxed. When shooting a film and television drama, most of the things were handed over to the director, so Lu Ming had nothing to do. Busy, such as negotiating cooperation with sponsors and advertisers.

Friday.

Tianmeng Media, Chairman's Office.

Lu Ming was sitting in the office, busy with something. At this time, Liu Mengmeng hurried in with a document and said, "Director Lu, the profit sharing for the first quarter of Xianjian Game has been settled."

Hearing this, Lu Ming put down what he was doing, and asked calmly, "How many millions?"

Liu Mengmeng replied, "Two... 20 billion."

Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that what Liu Mengmeng was talking about was the total profit. If it was the total profit, 20 billion is also normal. After all, this era is the era of krypton gold. Sometimes there are billions in profits a month. Of course, this refers to hit games.

The Xianjian game seems to be very popular recently, so it is normal to have a total profit of 20 billion in a few months, but Tianmeng Media is the authorized party after all, the game is not made by them, and the development of the game is the business of Yuedong Games, although Tianmeng Media also has a share, but their share ratio is not high, so it is not bad to be able to share a few hundred million.

Just when Lu Ming thought so, Liu Mengmeng put the file on Lu Ming's desk, and said, "Director Lu, this is the data sent by Yuedong Games, please take a look."

Lu Ming picked up the document and looked at it while asking, "If it's 20 billion, how much money can we get?"

Liu Mengmeng replied at this time: "Director Lu, we can get 20 billion. 20 billion is not the total profit. The total profit seems to have exceeded [-] billion."

"What?"

Lu Ming froze for a moment.

Can their authorized party get 20 billion?
real or fake?

Is krypton gold so serious in this game?
Then Lu Ming quickly looked at the report submitted by Yuedong Games. After seeing it, Lu Ming was stunned again. He didn't expect that what Liu Mengmeng said was true, and they really got [-] billion.

I didn't do anything, just authorized, and then inserted advertisements at the back of the TV series, and I was able to earn 20 billion. This money is really easy.

Lu Ming looked at the document in his hand, smiled and asked, "When will the profit share for the first quarter arrive?"

Liu Mengmeng replied: "It is said that the account will be available this week."

After all, Yuedong Games is the largest game company in China. Their funds are very abundant, and they will not delay their accounts.

Lu Ming said, "Okay, I see."

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Lu Ming, Liu Mengmeng turned around and left the office to go about her own business.

night.

Lu Ming's house.

After night fell, the stars were shining brightly, Shi Huan and Lu Ming hugged each other, stroking each other and talking about love.

After the two finished what they should do, they began to discuss the company's affairs. At this time, Shi Huan asked: "I heard that Xinghui is poaching our company's employees?"

During this period of time, Xinghui Media has gone too far. As long as they are more important employees of Tianmeng Media, they will receive invitations from Xinghui Company, or invitations from other companies under Haile Group. This is obviously Shen Yunfeng. That guy did it, except for him, Shi Huan couldn't think of anyone else doing it.

It’s normal for any company to poach people. It’s just that when other companies poach people, they must take a fancy to someone’s ability and what kind of people their company lacks. dig.

Xinghui Company digs everyone, and it mainly targets Tianmeng Media. This is obviously not for the development of Xinghui Company, but more like revenge.

The only person in Xinghui Media who has a grudge against Lu Ming is Shen Yunfeng.

After hearing Shi Huan's question, Lu Ming replied, "Well, they have dug out a few people and left."

Shi Huan said, "Then what are you going to do?"

Lu Ming said with a smile: "If they want to leave, they can leave. Those who are a little bit smarter will know to stay in our company, and those who are not smart will go to Xinghui. Since those people are not smart, it is useless for us to keep them. , leave and leave.”

Shi Huan asked: "Shouldn't this be self-consolation?"

Lu Ming touched Shi Huan's hair, and then said: "Of course not, the people Shen Yunfeng can poach now are those who are not that important to Tianmeng Company, so I don't care at all, the treatment of important employees in our company They are better than ordinary film and television companies, it is impossible for these employees to leave Tianmeng Media, and they prefer cakes that can be obtained more than cakes drawn by Shen Yunfeng."

Shi Huan said: "That's what I said, but it's not a way to go on like this."

Lu Ming said: "You are right, we should think of a way to fight back, we can't just be beaten passively, but I haven't thought of a suitable method yet."

After hearing Lu Ming's words, Shi Huan lay on Lu Ming's chest and said, "I don't care what you want to do, but I don't want you to go too far, especially when it comes to legal matters."

As a person in the industry, Shi Huan is very familiar with the entertainment industry, and she is also very familiar with the darkness of the entertainment industry.

Their family's company can develop and grow, but it doesn't develop by completely obeying the rules.

But Shi Huan also knew that she couldn't do things too much. If she did too much, she would backfire sooner or later. She didn't object to Lu Ming's revenge on Shen Yunfeng, but she didn't want Lu Ming to get burned for revenge on Shen Yunfeng.

After hearing Shi Huan's reminder, Lu Ming turned over with his arms around Shi Huan, then looked down at her and said, "Huanhuan, how do you think I should take revenge on him?"

Shi Huan replied, "I don't know."

Lu Ming smiled and said: "He likes women, so I plan to start with women, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Shi Huan was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "A woman?"

When it comes to the topic of women, Shi Huan is more sensitive. Lu Ming can use women to deal with Shen Yunfeng, and he may be seduced by these women when he uses these women.

Seeing Shi Huan seemed a little unhappy, Lu Ming said with a smile: "I plan to use the female artists of Shen Yunfeng's company to cause him some trouble."

Shi Huan pouted and said, "I don't care if you use them, but don't just use them on your bed."

Lu Ming smiled and said: "How is it possible, I have such a beautiful wife in my family and I won't bully her, so I went outside to pick some wild flowers."

Speaking of this, Lu Ming leaned down, and said in Shi Huan's ear, "Huanhuan, don't worry, you are my wife, and I will definitely give you enough sense of security."

Having said that, Lu Ming kissed Shi Huan.

Lu Ming's method to give Shi Huan a sense of security is very simple, that is, to "bully" her, and let her know that her attention is always on her, so that Shi Huan will not think about it.

Although he had already decided to take revenge on Shen Yunfeng, but because he couldn't find a breakthrough, and because Tianmeng Media had many affairs, Lu Ming never went to trouble Shen Yunfeng. I don't care much about it anymore.

Of course, not caring doesn't mean forget it. If there is a chance in the future, he will definitely cause some small troubles for Shen Yunfeng.

Time flies, and a month will soon pass. This month, Lu Ming is not busy, but he has a lot of things to do, but no matter how many things he has to do, he will always find time to accompany Shi Huan.

Although the two of them are already in the same company, they don't spend much time together in the company, and Lu Ming will not go out of his way to find Shi Huan. Huan felt that he couldn't restrain himself, so Shi Huan would feel that she would interfere with his work, so he left Tianmeng Media.
