Mo Honghong's suggestion did not shake Han Sen's inner thoughts. He shook his head and said: "I still stick to my opinion."
"Oh well!"
Mo Honghong glanced at the script with some reluctance, and then handed it back to Han Sen: "What a pity, there is no role in this movie suitable for me."
When Han Sen thought about it, it was true, and with Mo Honghong's current status, it would be unreasonable not to play the heroine.
The age setting of the heroine Ruth is 17 years old. Although the casting aspect can be adjusted upward, after all, Mo Honghong's past modern drama roles were all in the position of a mature woman. It would be more or less for a thirty-year-old to play the 17-year-old Ruth.
Somewhat far-fetched.
However, Mo Honghong had unusually enthusiastic ideas about Han Sen's drama. When Han Sen went to the company conference room for a meeting, Mo Honghong also went there.
She already had a general idea of Han Sen's thoughts, and could also guess how resistant the company would be to Han Sen's horrific idea of filming all real scenes. After all, Han Sen had only played the role in "Pawn Shop No. 8" so far.
For the role of the male protagonist, there are no real achievements to prove his strength and right to speak.
From the perspective of Enlight Group, professional matters should naturally be left to professionals. Han Sen, a layman, even though he has the ability to write scripts, wants to persuade investors to spend hundreds of millions to make a movie.
That is really a fantasy.
Soon, when they learned that Han Sen had written a script and asked the group to provide financial support for filming, the senior executives in the entire conference room seemed surprisingly quiet.
"How much do you want?"
As the secretary of the board of directors, Ren Yue also has the identity of the investment review representative. In the past, if the film wanted to attract investment within the group, it basically had to go through Ren Yue's hands and get Ren Yue's signature before the group could proceed.
Photography.
Because of the last attempt to force Han Sen to sign a contract, there was some gap between Ren Yue and Han Sen. Although the matter was settled later, it seemed that there was no disagreement between the two parties, but in fact, in Ren Yue's heart,
I'm still a little dissatisfied with Han Sen's arrogance, but since Han Sen is currently one of the top artists of the Guangguang Group, the board of directors, represented by Ren Yue, has put these gaps behind them for the time being and is unwilling to work with Han Sen.
Sen creates any friction.
However, when Han Sen wanted to enter the film industry, the board of directors was still a little dissatisfied. If it were before, when filming "Pawn Shop No. 8", because he had signed a contract with Jiangnan TV in advance, the board of directors would not say anything.
What, another example is the suspense drama "No One Survived". Although it has not been released yet, both the crew and the partners have praised the cleverness of the script of this drama, so they just let it go.
But now, Han Sen actually wants to continue to get involved in film and television, and judging from the situation, he can't film it without hundreds of millions. This makes the board of directors feel hesitant in an instant.
Han Sen's value to Guang Guang reflects Guang Guang's control over the music industry.
This will keep the stock price of Enlight Group continuing to rise. However, when Han Sen came to develop the film and television industry, it was obvious that it had deviated from the original plan of Enlight.
In the film and television industry, Guangguang is already one of the top predators. They have no shortage of movie stars and movie queens, as well as exquisite and clever scripts. If they want to make an actor famous, they also have plenty of resources.
What they lack is people who will work hard for them in the music world and wave the flag and shout for them.
At first, I thought that signing Li Ang would serve them and let them sit back and relax.
But it is a pity that Li Ang is completely indifferent and does not listen to orders at all. The value of light is naturally greatly reduced.
But Han Sen's arrival allowed them to see the light.
In particular, Han Sen's series of developments this year surprised them even more.
It simply makes up for Guangguang Group’s biggest shortcoming in the music industry.
Judging from the current situation, Han Sen's role for Guangguang Group is naturally irreplaceable.
Therefore, when Han Sen expressed his desire to get involved in the film and television industry, the entire board of directors showed a bit of resistance.
Ren Yue and others didn't even take a look at the script before they began to persuade Han Sen: "Making a movie is not something that can be accomplished overnight. The process is not simple. Even the initial project approval is even more difficult."
"Our board of directors understands Han Sen that you are eager to get involved in the film and television industry. After all, singing and acting are good!"
"You are indeed a leader among the younger generation in the music industry. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are the leader of the younger generation in the music industry. However, you should know that you have just debuted less than a year ago and have a profound impact on the history of the entire Chinese music industry.
For me, this is just a short moment."
"So, the company still wants you to continue to maintain your current status and continue to shine in the music industry. In a few years, after you become the number one person in the music industry, you will be as lonely as snow in the music industry, and then you will consider making movies.
, it’s not too late to become an actor, what do you think?”
When Mo Honghong saw this, she couldn't help but said: "Everyone, Han Sen has brought the script over. You'd better read it first. I think this script is very valuable for filming. Even if it is really done according to Han Sen's
I think this movie will become a masterpiece in the film industry, and it can even be said that it will become a great work!"
After hearing Mo Honghong's words, the board members did not react at all.
Many people know that Han Sen and Mo Honghong have a close relationship. Even Mo Honghong's recent popular new song "Thirty-Six Strategies for Love" was written with Han Sen's personal help.
Therefore, no one believed Mo Honghong at all. They all thought that Mo Honghong was helping, deliberately praising and pleasing Han Sen, so that they could better cooperate with Han Sen in the future.
In this kind of thinking and atmosphere, only a few people from the entire board of directors turned the page of the script.
When they saw the three words "Steel", many people were stunned.
"This is a script adapted from historical events?"
"This is even more exaggerated. Do you know how difficult it is to adapt such a script? In addition to having to be consistent with historical events, according to law, all real historical figures who appear in the movie need to obtain their own consent.
If you pass away, you must also obtain the consent of your relatives and descendants, unless the other person is a deceased celebrity, such as Li Bai or Du Fu in Tang poetry and Song poetry..."
"Han Sen, I know that the discovery of the wreckage of the Steel is a hot topic recently, and many companies are also launching related projects. But currently, our company has no similar ideas to film this project. What can you think of?
Very good, but currently the company does not need to rely on popularity to maintain its operations..."
"The hot spots are just a gimmick. If the filming is good, that's it. But if the filming is not good, our company will be reviled by millions of people. Especially for such a big historical event, it is most likely to increase conflicts..."
"So, the current advice the company is giving you is not to shoot for the time being."
Han Sen looked at the senior members of the board of directors trying to persuade each other, as if the script of "Steel" written by Han Sen was a hot potato, and felt silent for a moment.
Mo Honghong was a little annoyed, but she didn't dare to be too presumptuous as she was facing the company's top executives. She could only lightly tap the conference table to attract everyone's attention, and then couldn't help but ask: "You guys Have you read the script?”
Everyone was stunned, and immediately the entire conference room seemed to explode.
"You don't have to watch it, historical events are just like that! Have we not produced enough historical-themed movies and TV series?"
"This kind of film based on historical events requires a large investment, little feedback, and is more likely to arouse backlash from public opinion. It has always been a thankless job."
"From the current point of view, although the discovery of the wreckage of the Steel is quite a hot spot, after the filming of the movie is completed, it will not be released until at least one or two years, or even longer. By then, the hot spot of discovering the wreckage of the Steel will have long passed. Got it!"
"If Han Sen likes to write scripts, why not write some suspense dramas similar to "No One Survived", or some romance scripts. Don't you young people like this? The market for this area is huge, plus Thanks to your appeal, Hansen, the group is willing to give you an investment of 20 to 30 million, and you won’t have to pay for it even if you make a profit."
A group of senior executives felt that they were being questioned by Mo Honghong, and everyone began to make comments. Some even suggested that Han Sen write another script with a smaller subject range, so that the cost of filming would be smaller, such as a romance drama, a suspense drama, etc., even if it is Even if you lose, you won't lose anything. For the light, it won't be a big deal at all. Even because of Han Sen's fame, there may be a certain chance that similar works will become popular once they are launched.
Even if ten films are made, if one of them becomes a hit, the company will be able to fully recoup its investment, so it is considered a sure-profit business.
In this way, Han Sen will not be offended, nor will there be any substantial loss of light. It is simply a situation where everyone is happy.
But Han Sen has a tough temper. After listening to everyone's suggestions face to face, he just said softly: "I still stick to my own idea."
He stood up, walked around the conference table, took back all the distributed scripts one by one, and then asked: "If I take this script and I go to attract investment myself, whether it is a loss or a profit, it will be mine." ,Is it okay to do this?”
Everyone frowned.
Ren Yue stood up and said: "Han Sen, you are currently an artist of Guangguang Group. The company only manages your performance management. We will not be involved in matters such as investment. This is clearly stated in the contract we signed. One thing, but one thing you have to pay attention to is that you can attract investment, but if you want to participate in the filming of the works, you must say hello to the company and sign the relevant contract. In this way, you will not violate the contract regulations. ."
Ren Yue’s starting point is good intentions.
She was really scared by Han Sen last time.
After the incident happened, Tan Gaohan personally came to the company to make a big fuss, which made it almost impossible for Ren Yue to get off the stage. Later, the board of directors used an expedient measure to put all the blame on himself.
After she personally went to the bookstore to apologize to Han Sen, she finally settled the matter.
Now Han Sen came to the company in person to talk to the board of directors, and everyone else had negative opinions. Naturally, she was not exempt from this, but in order to stop Han Sen from pointing the finger at her, she reminded her in time and expressed her goodwill.
"I see."
Han Sen nodded, sorted out the script, turned around, and left the conference room.
Mo Honghong was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. She looked at the group of board members and said, "You don't know what you missed. You didn't even read the script carefully and just rejected it. You will definitely do something for today in the future."
I regret the decision I made!"
Seeing that Mo Honghong was so serious, others felt a little shaken in their hearts, but when they thought that it would cost hundreds of millions or even more to make a movie, their inner shakes disappeared instantly.
Are you kidding me, even a god-level script cannot cost hundreds of millions to create.
Not to mention, depending on what Han Sen meant, most of the investment would have to go to 1:1 reproduction and restoration of the model of the Steel. This is almost as difficult as rebuilding the Steel. The cost is naturally huge, even for light.
The group cannot take this risk.
"It's normal for young people to be impulsive and passionate. But Hong Hong, you must not get carried away. No matter how good the script is, you must consider the cost of creating him and the future box office returns. If
If it is not proportional, then no investor in the world will invest in this script. After all, no one wants to make a loss-making business."
A middle-aged man with silver hair comforted him: "Han Sen has made some small achievements in the music industry now, so he is a little arrogant. This is normal. But as a senior, Hong Hong, you need to use your own experience to enlighten Han Sen. At this stage,
The most important thing is for him to consolidate his achievements in the music world. In a few days, won't the Golden Deer Awards be held? In this year's music world, Han Sen came out of nowhere. I believe this year's
The Golden Deer Award will also bring a new situation to everyone."
Mo Honghong shook her head, not wanting to talk to these people anymore, she got up and quickly chased Han Sen.
She did want to enlighten Han Sen, but it was not to comfort him as the senior executive said just now, but to add more heat to Han Sen's firewood.
Over the years, she has made many movies and endorsed some products. In addition to her love of buying houses, Mo Honghong does have some savings in her hands. Although it is not much, she feels that Han Sen needs her own money at the moment.
support.
"Sixty million?"
Han Sen was a little confused when he looked at the large deposit slip Mo Honghong gave him.
"Take it, sister, there is only so much left. Although compared with your ideal goal, it is just a drop in the bucket, but it is still of some use."
Mo Honghong approached Han Sen and said mysteriously: "Actually, if you want to attract investment, it's very simple. Let Lao Tan help you. With Lao Tan's status and reputation in the industry, he can get you one or two
An investment of hundreds of millions is definitely a piece of cake.” (To be continued)
