Chapter 50 Columbus (Global) Film and Television Company
Mu Feibai is very busy.
In his opinion, the reason why he came here to invite Li Youqing to join his film and television company was simply because he valued Li Youqing's current influence in the country, and he just wanted to use this to quickly expand the film and television company.
Of course, this doesn't mean that he has to treat Li Youqing with kindness and enthusiasm.
On the contrary, as a disciple of an internationally renowned director, Mu Feibai believes that he has connections and resources that ordinary people cannot reach. In this case, it is an honor to invite anyone to join. Why do you need to invite him in a humble way?
So when she saw that Li Youqing was hesitant, she stood up and left, leaving only one sentence to tell her to hurry up and think about it. If it was too late, it would be too late.
This is disdain.
It’s also confidence.
"This Mr. Mu doesn't seem so easy to get along with." Li Youqing said with some emotion as he watched Mu Feibai leave.
At this time, the grilled fish was already on the table. Ji Yingzi took a mouthful of hot fish and put it into his mouth to chew, while saying: "He is just a crazy pretender, relying on himself to put on some vests abroad and come back to show off, if it weren't for me
Dad asked me to control myself, we all have to meet him in the hospital now."
Li Youqing nodded, looked back at the grilled fish on the table, and picked up his chopsticks to eat.
She paid for this meal, but she had to eat more to get her money back, otherwise she would be in trouble.
"What do you think about this?" Seeing this, Ji Yingzi couldn't help but ask.
Li Youqing slowly picked up the fish bone with chopsticks and replied after hearing this: "I have to go back and discuss it with Beibei to see what he thinks. But one thing is for sure that the ten-year contract is too long. If it cannot be shortened, I may
There is no way to join.”
Ten-year contract.
If you sign the contract, it will basically mean that your entire acting career will be lost. Once the same situation as Erjing Film and Television occurs midway, it will be equivalent to ruining your entire acting career.
So she has to be careful.
"Ten years is indeed a lot, but I can help in this regard. After all, if Mu Feibai wants to develop in the country, he still needs to rely on my father's connections." Ji Yingzi took a sip of liquor and burped.
"Yeah." Li Youqing nodded, lowered his head and continued eating.
Seeing this, Ji Yingzi stopped talking, and the two of them began to devour the food.
After lunch, Li Youqing said goodbye to Ji Yingzi and left the fisherman's house in the small town to return to the Arcadia community. At home, Jiang Bei was lying on the sofa playing with his mobile phone, and Zhang Jiuliang was drawing Doraemon illustrations in the study. As he entered
During the sophomore semester, Du Wang's painting skills have improved greatly, and basically every painting is of high quality.
But it's just a bit of waste paper, because Du Wang is a bold and unrestrained person. Occasionally, he would paint with a big stroke of his pen and use it freely, and in the end it overflowed the paper.
"You're back." Jiang Bei looked up at his wife and said.
"Well, have you eaten?" Li Youqing put away her bags and walked to the sofa to sit down and asked.
"Liangliang cooked some noodles for lunch." Jiang Bei closed his phone and started cooking and replied.
His wife is not at home, and there are few people at home so Jiang Bei is too lazy to cook. He usually just eats something to fill his stomach. Of course, if the gambling king is at home, these tasks will be left to her.
It's not that I'm lazy, it's mainly that I need to train my gambling king's ability to do housework. Otherwise, how can I be like Li Youqing when I get married without touching the spring water?
She is a loser. If she can't even do housework, who else would be willing to marry her?
"Teacher Ji and I went to have dinner at noon, and there was a Chinese-American Mu Feibai who was a close disciple of the famous American director Robert Columbus. Have you heard of it?" Li Youqing picked up the oranges in the fruit plate on the coffee table and peeled them.
asked.
"I've never heard of it, what's going on?" Jiang Bei asked curiously.
"It seems that this Mu Feibai wants to develop in China and set up a film and television company. Then he wants to sign me and help me terminate the contract with Erjing Film and Television." Li Youqing did not hide anything and recounted what happened at noon.
Li Youqing's words made the old man instantly alert, and he asked calmly: "Can this Mu Feibai solve the contract problem between you and Erjing Film and Television?"
Li Youqing peeled half of the orange and handed it to him. He broke another piece and put it in his mouth. He shook his head and said, "I don't know, but this person was introduced by Teacher Ji, and he is also a close disciple of Robert Columbus."
, I must have the ability, maybe it can really solve the contract problem between me and Erjing Film and Television."
Dare to confidently say that it can solve the problem of hidden artists in Erjing Film and Television. It is definitely unrealistic to say that without strength and background, so in fact, both Li Youqing and Jiangbei, who just heard the news, acquiesced in the other party's ability.
Since it is assumed that the other party has this ability, this is undoubtedly a new crisis for Jiangbei.
Because once Li Youqing really terminates her contract with Erjing Film and Television, and her father-in-law Li Qiangguo sacrifices now, then for Li Youqing, all the obstacles around her will be eliminated, and she will no longer need to bear any pressure and can live comfortably.
Development of the entertainment industry.
This is bound to be detrimental to the entire situation.
"It's just that their conditions are quite harsh and they want me to sign a ten-year contract." Just as Jiangbei was pondering this matter over and over in his mind, Xiao Nizi frowned again and said.
"Ten years will definitely not work. Even if they can help you solve the cooperation with Erjing Film and Television, who knows whether they will be the second Erjing Film and Television?" Jiang Bei shook his head, seizing this point to make a proposal without exposing it.
Opposition.
"Yes, I was more concerned about this, so I didn't agree to join on the spot. But Teacher Ji told me that we should be able to reduce the contract period a little more. Why don't we first see how many years the minimum is?" Li Youqing chewed an orange.
, while thinking.
"Yeah, and I think even if the time limit is reduced, we can wait until they resolve the contract issue between you and Erjing Film and Television. At least I don't think Erjing Film and Television will let you go so easily."
No matter how we negotiate, the first step is to terminate the contract, which must be agreed by Erjing Film and Television.
At present, Erjing Film and Television is in the hands of Jiangbei. He really can't think of anyone who can take Li Youqing away as long as he doesn't agree.
"Well...that's right." Li Youqing thought for a while and felt that this sentence made sense.
Seeing that his wife agreed, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and ate the orange.
The living room suddenly became quiet, except for eating fruit and the sound of 'shua~shua~shua~' coming from the study from time to time.
"Beibei, why are you still sitting here?"
"Where would I go if I didn't sit down?"
"Hurry up and study! It's time for you to make plans for your next movie. Men must make progress and not just be salty fish."
"oh......"
"Go to the study room. I'll take a shower first. My whole body smells like grilled fish. It's uncomfortable."
After all, Li Youqing has not forgotten the idea of training Jiang Bei to become a great director. There seems to be no way to change this matter.
Jiang Bei didn't care, anyway, he had already decided that his next movie would have to be shot blindly, even if it was a good quality film, just like Director Bi.
But he was not good at studying, especially when reading, it is easy to make him sleepy. In addition, people are very tired in April. He stared at the book for a few minutes before his eyelids started to twitch, and finally he fell asleep with the book on his head.
The study room was big enough, and the desk was big enough. The gambling king was drawing on the opposite side. Suddenly he saw his brother fell down, so he turned his head and saw that he had fallen asleep, biting the end of his pen and eyeballs.
After wandering around for a while, I tiptoed over and picked up a paintbrush to paint on it.
The paint on the brush was a bit cold. Jiang Bei vaguely felt the coolness on his forehead in his sleep. He couldn't help but open his eyes and found a pen pressed against his forehead.
"What are you doing?"
Liang Liang, whose hands were frozen in the air, said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Brother, would you believe me if I said I was creating art?"
"Haha." Jiang Bei sneered.
"Well, I have something else to do and I'll leave first. Say goodbye." Liangliang threw away the pen and turned around to run away.
"Come back!" Jiang Bei said solemnly.
"I'm sorry, brother, that won't work. I'll let you draw two Doraemons on my forehead. Can you double the revenge?" Seeing that he couldn't escape, Liangliang simply said his punishment, stood there and closed his eyes.
An expression of generosity and sacrifice.
"I don't want to draw. Come here and I have something to tell you." Jiang Bei glanced outside the study door and waved.
"What's going on?" Liangliang came over and asked softly.
"Go and help me find out information about the famous American director Robert Columbus and his disciple Mu Feibai. The most important thing is that this one is called Mu Feibai. I need to know all about him." Jiang Bei warned seriously.
Since Mu Feibai wants to win over Li Youqing to join his film and television company, this person is on the opposite side of the black fan organization, and he must have all his detailed information to deal with it easily.
"Why do you want to investigate this person named Mu Feibai?" Liangliang didn't know about this matter, so her little head was still full of doubts.
Jiang Bei briefly told the story in a low voice. After listening to it, Liang Liang suddenly understood and nodded: "I understand, brother, give me a day."
Ancheng Gambling King is always so fast and efficient in doing things. In fact, in just half a day, she collected all the information about Robert Columbus and Mu Feibai and sent it to Jiangbei's mobile phone.
At night, Jiang Bei hid in the study on the pretext of 'study' and began to secretly check the information obtained from the investigation.
The first is director Robert Columbus. This director is 62 years old. He is a great director with more than 30 years of experience. He has won the Star Award for Best Director twice and is very well-known around the world.
However, the information does not indicate that Robert Columbus has any so-called close disciples. It is because Robert Columbus served as a tutor at the Anglie Academy of Film and Television in the United States. He once led a class of directing students, and Mu Feibai happened to be among them.
.
Of course, it is very likely that they will not expose this kind of thing, so whether Mu Feibai is a close disciple of Robert Columbus still needs to be investigated.
The only one left is the Chinese-American Mu Feibai.
The 35-year-old Mu Feibai is a graduate of the Directing Department of the Anglie Film and Television School in the United States. He is Chinese-American and unmarried. After graduation, he worked behind the scenes at Robert Columbus's film and television company and participated in two of Robert Columbus's own films.
Film shooting schedule.
At the age of 30, he directed his first animated film "Aladdin" with a total investment of 20 million US dollars and a global box office of 76 million US dollars. It was considered a success.
At the age of 32, he directed his second literary film "Campus Smile", with a total investment of US$18 million and a global box office of US$14 million. It was also Mu Feibai's first film to lose money.
At the age of thirty-three, unwilling to fail, he made a comeback and shot his third literary film "The Lost Star" with a total investment of US$12 million and a global box office of US$6 million.
Mu Feibai, who made two films in a row, lost the favor of the capitalists and had no choice but to go behind the scenes and study under Robert Columbus again.
Last year, Columbus (Global) Film and Television, the film and television company where Robert Columbus worked, was trying to open up the Chinese market. Columbus (Global) Film and Television was founded in Azure City, China at the beginning of this year. Mu Feibai, who is Chinese himself, was sent back to China by the headquarters.
Hold important positions.
After returning to China, Mu Feibai continued to make friends with major forces in the domestic entertainment industry while expanding his film and television company, and planned new film and television plans, preparing to re-emerge in China and use this springboard to return to Hollywood.
The reason for signing Li Youqing is that Columbus Film and Television Company, where Mu Feibai works, wants to use her fame to open up the domestic market.
"Brother, how are you? Are there any doubts?" Liangliang couldn't help but ask when she saw him put down his phone and rub his eyes.
"The information is very detailed, but this Mu Feibai surprised me a little. I didn't expect that he would direct several movies at such a young age." Jiang Bei said, rubbing his eyes.
This sentence is not meant to be sarcastic, and regardless of whether the movies Mu Feibai made were losses or profits, it is really remarkable that he can direct three movies worth more than 10 million US dollars at this age. At least it proves that his background is strong enough.
Behind the scenes, Columbus (Global) Film and Television Company indeed has the capital to compete with Erjing Film and Television for people.
"This has nothing to do with him. I heard from my friends that Mu Feibai seems to be the illegitimate son of Robert Columbus, which is why he received so much resource help on the road of growth. But even if Robert Columbus devoted all his resources to help him, he
Most of his movies are also losing money, and I thought that if I change another pig, it won't be worse than what he did." Liangliangtan spread his hands and said with a helpless expression.
"Mu Feibai is the illegitimate son of Robert Columbus?" Jiang Bei looked surprised.
Liangliang explained: "This news is hearsay, and its factuality is currently uncertain, so I did not include it in this document."
Even if it is groundless, the rumors may also be true.
But this has nothing to do with him. Looking at the black screen of his mobile phone, Jiang Bei ordered: "No matter what, if Columbus Film and Television Company comes to discuss your sister-in-law's contract issue, just refuse it and refuse to accept any conditions."
