Mo Dong stood up and opened the door to his room. He was surprised to see his parents at the door:
"Mom, Dad, why are you two here?"
After graduating from college, he moved out of his home and lived alone.
Normally, if something happens, I would make a phone call in advance. A situation like today has never happened.
Mo Dong's mother was temporarily relieved when she saw that there was nothing unusual about her son except that his eyes were a little swollen.
"Come and see you."
After saying that, he entered his son's room and looked at it carefully.
Seeing his mother's behavior, Mo Dong was a little confused. Was he here to ransack the house?
"Mom and Dad, what are you doing?"
Mo Dong's mother pointed to her son's eyes that were swollen like small walnuts and said:
"Go and look in the mirror yourself. It's okay. We will come over?"
An hour ago, on her way home from work, she received a call from her son's nanny, saying that her baby son was crying very sadly in the room. The nanny didn't dare to ask why, but she was worried that something would happen, so she called her.
Notified her. These days, her son's behavior was a bit abnormal. When she heard this, she immediately went home, took her husband, and rushed over.
Mo Dong showed a dumbfounded expression:
"Mom and Dad, this was caused by watching a movie. You got it wrong."
Mo Dong’s mother didn’t believe it at all:
"Ever since you were a child, you have never cried while watching a movie, not to mention you are still a director. Tell me, what happened?"
Mo Dong's father also advised:
"Xiaodong, if you have any difficulty or something you can't figure out, just tell your parents and we'll work out a solution together. We're all a family and there's nothing to be embarrassed about. These days, your mother is having trouble eating and sleeping because of you.
.”
Mo Dong's mother turned to her husband and said dissatisfiedly:
"What are you talking about at this time?"
Mo Dong knew that his parents had been worried these days. Besides, there was nothing to hide about what happened today, so he hurriedly explained the cause and effect of the matter clearly.
Mo Dong's mother stretched out her hand to measure the temperature on her son's forehead, then placed it on her own forehead. There was no fever.
His eyes are pretty good, but what he says is nonsense.
She also watched her son's movie 'Wisteria', but she turned it off after less than 3 minutes. The plot was messy and the content jumped around. It was hard to understand what was being said. The acting skills of the actors were very good.
Exaggerated, it’s just a game of house.
Now it is said that after spending 3.8 million yuan to re-edit it, it will make people cry.
Seeing the disbelief written all over his mother's face, Mo Dong said:
"Mom, I really didn't lie to you. It's up to you to see for yourself."
As he spoke, he clicked on a video file called ‘Wisteria Flower’ on the desktop.
...
Half an hour later, Mo Dong's mother's eyes were red and she wiped her eyes with tissue from time to time.
At this time, Mo Dong's stomach growled.
"Mom and Dad, it's already past eight o'clock. Why don't you have a good meal first and then watch?"
Mo Dong's mother immediately objected:
“I’ll eat after I’ve finished watching it. I’ve already finished reading less than half of it.”
"Mom, I'll cast the screen on the TV in the living room and watch it while eating."
...
An hour later, the list of cast and crew members scrolled up on the TV screen. After Mo Dong's mother calmed down, she said seriously to her son:
"Tell me, what software are you using?"
I went upstairs to get my notebook and opened the 'Private Customization' APP.
"Mom, this is the software. Just..."
After her son finished explaining, Mo Dong's mother said to her husband:
"Brother Yong, what do you think?"
Mo Dong's father is a small director of Mingzhu Government.
He graduated from Agricultural University and doesn't know much about software, but he still has a good vision.
"Xiaodong, tell me, if you follow normal shooting methods, how much would it cost to make a movie of the level of 'Wisteria'?"
Mo Dong took a piece of paper and wrote and drew:
"When I made this film, my mother sponsored 5 million yuan, and I spent more than 3 million yuan myself. You have also seen the results.
If you want to reach the current level, then the two leading actors must at least be hired by second-rate or above. In addition to the acting requirements, the salary alone will be almost 10 million.
The remaining supporting roles, with such good acting skills, would cost around five million in total.
So if the actors' salary is added together, it will be about 15 million, and then other production expenses will be about 20 million, which is almost 35 million."
Mo Dong's mother looked surprised and said:
"So expensive?"
Mo Dong pointed to the various costumes and props in the movie and said:
"Mom, the dozens or hundreds of bargains on Taotao will never produce such good results. These need to be specially customized, or buy those high-end ready-made clothes..."
Mo Dong's mother doesn't know much about this industry, but she believes that her son cannot lie in this regard.
xishuba
"In other words, you only spent a total of 12 million before and after, and achieved an effect of more than 30 million?"
Mo Dong nodded:
“It should be cheaper.
I have not researched the fees for this software. If I have a thorough understanding, I should be able to save a lot.
Also, if the work is authorized to be published on Dongfeng.com after the production is completed, 30% of the production fee will be refunded."
The more Mo Dong's mother listened, the brighter her eyes became. As the chairman of a group, of course she understands how much profit can be brought by saving more than two-thirds of the cost.
"Is this the only software of this type on the market?"
"Mom, the technical content of this software is very high. It is definitely a black technology. I have seen this one so far. I asked a few brothers who specialize in artificial intelligence to take a look at it. They said that the technology of this software is absolutely black technology.
More than ten years ahead of today.”
“Do you know which company this software is from?”
"Dongfeng.com."
When Mo Dong's father heard the name of the company, he stopped his wife who was about to call:
"No need to fight, you also know this boss, Jiang Pengfei from Fuxing Investment."
Mo Dong's mother put the phone back on the dining table.
Wang Lidong's name is unknown to the upper echelons of Mingzhu. In the past two days, I heard that Fuxing was negotiating a project with the government, involving more than 10 billion in funds.
"Mom and Dad, look, the movies I made are starting to make money."
Mo Dong's face was full of excitement. He put the notebook in front of his parents, pointed to an amount column on the computer screen and said:
"After re-editing, 'Wisteria' was posted on Dongfeng.com. You see, in just over 3 hours, the number of clicks was 5,655, and the number of people who paid: 4,803. My film was priced at 3 yuan.
With a 4:6 split, I can get 60%, and earn 5,763.6 yuan in three hours. In one day, I can earn almost 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, so in a year..."
Looking at their son who was happily settling accounts on his mobile phone, Mo Dong's parents did not interrupt him. Looking at their son's current appearance, he has stepped out of the shadow of failure, which is better than anything else.
