Chapter 439 Everyone Is Copying Lianzhong

In Li Mu's mind, although "Crazy Stone" is a film with the core of small people in the market, it does not mean that it must follow the roles of the previous grass stage actors.

In Li Mu's eyes, there are four very outstanding characters in "Crazy Stone", Huang Bo, who plays the black skin, is the first, Guo Tao, who plays the security captain, is the second, and Wang Xun, who plays the four-eyed assistant of a real estate developer, is the third. The thief boss Liu Hua is fourth.

These four people were all grass-roots teams at the beginning, but after the popularity of "Crazy Stone", these four people's acting careers have created new heights, especially Huang Bo, who started from this drama and reached the peak step by step. .

Therefore, for Li Mu, he hopes that Ning Hao can use these four actors in the filming of "Crazy Stone" this year. It would be great if Xu Zheng can be invited over. Although he does not have a lot of roles in "Crazy Stone" , but it was also this cooperation that made him, Huang Bo and Ning Hao become an iron triangle, and he himself is quite talented and a potential stock.

In addition, Li Mu also had an idea in his heart, that is, through this film as much as possible, to sign all these actors to Muye Imaging, these people are all powerful actors without exception, which is very rare.

Ning Hao's brain still couldn't react. After all, he came with a wish of 5 million, at least 3 million. As a result, Li Mu became 20 to 30 million as soon as he opened his mouth. He even asked Liu Dehua and Liu Tianwang to play the role. The action was too loud, just like Bai Jingjing in Journey to the West, she just went to apprentice, but a man appeared to marry her on the spot, basically in a state of confusion.

Li Mu understands Ning Hao's mentality, and it would be the same for him. In fact, Ning Hao wasted a few years ago. Take "Crazy Stone" as an example, an idea has been created since 2ooo years, and it can be done with 3 million. After waiting for six years, after "Crazy Stone" became famous, he has always been grateful to Liu Dehua who invested in his filming, which shows his desire for this opportunity.

Now, Li Mu helped him advance this dream by four years and gave him more leverage. He was not only excited, but also a little scared.

He said: "With an investment of 20 to 30 million yuan, only 100 million yuan at the box office can be recouped. In case I lose..."

Li Mu spread his hands indifferently and said, "If you lose, you will lose. Can I still ask you to pay me?"

Ning Hao said embarrassedly, "I didn't mean that... I meant that I feel sorry for me. You treat me so well. If I lose money to you again, this..."

Li Mu continued to enlighten him: "Don't think that 30 million is a lot, 30 million for a movie can only be regarded as ordinary, as for the box office, you don't have to be under pressure, although we don't have many resources in the film and television industry, but you don't Forget, our ability to cast on the Internet is very powerful, you only need to make the movie well, and I will solve the box office matters."

Ning Hao was stunned for a moment. He was also a smart person. As soon as he heard Li Mu talking about the Internet, he immediately understood what Li Mu meant.

With the powerful delivery capability of Muye Technology, he can directly deliver a movie to tens of millions of people in minutes, and tens of millions of people will have a community effect. The number of people who will deliver the information will definitely be more. This delivery capability is What the traditional film and television industry does not have, if you can make a good film yourself, then Li Mu will take out this resource, and if he can help the film get enough film volume, the film's box office will not have to worry about it.

After figuring this out, Ning Hao finally gained some confidence. He said to Li Mu, "Boss, then I'll go back and think about the script carefully, try to be more detailed, and then show it to you."

Li Mu nodded: "If you want to shoot, when do you want to start it?"

Ning Hao thought for a while and said, "June or July."

Li Mu asked again, "How long do you plan to shoot?"

Ning Hao said, "The previous plan was to finish filming within two months. After all, the cost is small, but now, I have to go back and do a good calculation. The cost is high, the production is more elaborate, and the time period will be longer."

Li Mu nodded: "Don't worry,

We will lock the Chinese New Year file at the end of the year and release it at the end of December, or at the beginning of next year. "

Ning Hao said, "This time should be fine."

Li Mu said with a smile: "You have to make a good film when the time comes. This film is the first big-screen film of our Muye Imaging. We must make a name for it. After this film is made, our exhibition will also be in the future. It's fine."

Ning Hao grinned: "Boss, don't worry, as long as you trust me, I will do my best."

Li Mu laughed and scolded: "Bullshit, 30 million is promised to you, how can I trust you?"

Hearing this, Ning Hao held the script of a thief within a thief and laughed for a long time.

Li Mu asked him, "What is your salary expectation for this movie, talk about it."

Ning Hao said, "Boss, I need fifty thousand for the director's fee."

"Fifty thousand?" Li Mu frowned: "What are you talking about with me? I'll give you 50,000 for the director's fee, if it spreads out, do I still want to get involved?"

Ning Hao said cheerfully, "If you think it's too little, I don't mind giving you 50,000 more."

"Fuck you." Li Mu said impatiently, "Guarantee the director's fee of 500,000 yuan, plus 10% of the box office, how much you can earn depends on your ability."

Hearing this, Ning Hao was shocked for a long time and didn't react at all. Not to mention that the amount of 500,000 yuan was ten times what he expected, and just what it meant by 10% of the box office split, he knew very well in his heart, Li Mu's words meant nothing. I promised myself 10% of the film's net profit...

Ning Hao still wanted to shirk, but Li Mu just waved his hand and said, "Okay, we both take care of each other, I'll be responsible for the money, you're responsible for the work, how the money is paid is up to me, I'll do it myself, you Don't say more, just do your job well."

Ning Hao nodded, but didn't say anything, he just sighed that his life was so good, that he met Li Mu, a powerful gold lord, and the other party trusted him so much that he suddenly had the idea of ​​​​destroying his heart.

Li Mu suddenly thought of Du Wei. He always felt that Du Wei was in such a good condition that it would be a loss not to go to the full-scale exhibition of film and television songs, but after thinking about it, "Crazy Stone" was indeed not suitable for her to act in. After thinking about it for a long time, suddenly Think of a movie - "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years"

"Those Years" is a phenomenal film, and this film is also considered a high-quality youth film. It once led a major trend of youth films in China. If it weren't for its success, it would not have so many floods in the future. It is a youth film with vulgar elements such as mistress, pregnancy, abortion, car accident, terminal illness, etc.

In later generations, the three youth films "To Youth", "You at the Same Table", and "The Year in a Hurry" were released one after another. Netizens once ridiculed that the abortion rate of these three films reached an astonishing 1oo%, and even summed up a sentence for this purpose. Words: There are three treasures of youth films, abortion, car accidents, and hardship to old age, which is enough to see the prevalence of youth films at that time, and enough to see the great success of the film "Those Years".

Du Wei's temperament is so suitable for Shen Jiayi in those years. In addition, Du Wei showed her youthful aura in "Old Boy". She is probably the most suitable girl for school youth dramas in Li Mu's mind. It is also the best choice to play Shen Jiayi.

However, if I didn't have a suitable director on hand for those years of filming, and I really didn't have the time and energy to guest-direct a movie, an "Old Boy" would have tormented me enough, and Ning Hao had another "Crazy Stone" He had to prepare, and he was not suitable for this style, so Li Mu felt that if he wanted to film those years, he still had to find a director.

He asked Ning Hao, "Do you know a director who is suitable for making campus romance films?"

Ning Hao asked, "What kind of campus love?"

Li Mu said: "It's just that the male and female protagonists liked each other at the beginning. After secret love, strong and duplicity, they finally got together and separated because of a little shit, and finally the girl married someone else's campus love story."

Ning Hao laughed straight after hearing this: "If you say that, I really know a suitable director."

Li Mu asked, "Who is it? Can you introduce me to me?"

Ning Hao said happily, "It's you, boss, isn't that the tune of "Old Boy", you are very good at it!"

Li Mu glared at him and said, "I'm up to a million dollars a day, and I don't have the time to make a movie. Seriously, you can find one for me. It must be reliable."

Seeing Li Mu's serious expression, Ning Hao nodded immediately and said, "I'll go back and look for something suitable."

Li Mu said: "Seriously, if it's reliable, this movie can be launched together with "Crazy Stone", and will be in the Lunar New Year file at the end of the year."

Ning Hao nodded: "ok, I'll do it as soon as possible!"

After eating and chatting about the movie, Li Mu drove Ning Hao back and saw the domineering G55 that Li Mu had newly bought. Ning Hao was shocked by Li Mu again. The eyes are almost stuck in the various details of the g55 and can't be pulled out.

Li Mu saw his unconscious performance in his eyes, and before leaving, he told him that if "Crazy Stone" could reach 300 million at the box office after its release, he would give him an extra g55.

Ning Hao was so frightened that he waved his hands again and again, saying that he couldn't imagine the 300 million box office, and he couldn't afford such an expensive car. Li Mu said to him, "Dare to think and be a hero." Then he drove away.

On the way back, Kong Lingyu called Li Mu and said to Li Mu, "Boss, Tengxun has removed all commercial advertisements today, and their membership services are also on special promotions. One penny a month is equivalent to 0.1% off. "

Li Mu asked him: "For one penny a month, can users buy a few months on their own? For example, buy it for half a year or a year at a time."

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look." Kong Lingyu paused for a moment, and after testing it, he said to Li Mu, "No, you can only buy a single month."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Then don't worry about it, they themselves don't have the determination to sink the boat."

Kong Lingyu asked: "They must do this to maintain user stickiness. Shouldn't we deal with it?"

Li Mu said without hesitation, "We don't need to deal with it for the time being. When will they go out of their way, buy a membership for a penny and deal with it when they can buy one year or even two years at a time. We won't fight price wars, it's too Lo."

Kong Lingyu was stunned for a moment: "Uh, that's fine..."

Li Mu noticed that Kong Lingyu was still a little worried, so he smiled and said relievedly: "Don't mess up your position because of the price war of the other party. Compared with yy, its products are outdated in many functions. Many of our core functions, even QQ members can't enjoy it, which means that in terms of these needs, QQ members can't replace ordinary yy users. This is our core competition method. If we blindly follow them to engage in price wars, we will put ourselves His footsteps are messed up."

Kong Lingyu said, "I understand Boss."

After speaking, he added: "By the way, when yy was doing strategic deployment before, the structure of the yy game hall you proposed, we have almost done it now, and the design team has also designed the interface of several popular games. , go to your mailbox, and take a look if you have time."

Li Mu asked curiously, "So soon? It's only been about a month since the strategic deployment was made, right?"

Kong Lingyu said: "Our main focus is on developing the game architecture and lobby system. As for the game itself, in order to save time, I bought the source code from other chess and card game companies, and then re-opened it on the basis of the source code. Coupled with our new visual design, it’s a lot faster.”

Li Mu said in surprise: "Okay, old Kong, my brain is getting more and more lively, how many game codes have you bought?"

Kong Lingyu said: "There are thirteen types of poker: three-player, four-player, level-up, running fast; chess: chess, military flag, checkers, and backgammon; mahjong: Cantonese Mahjong, Taiwanese Mahjong, Sichuan Mahjong, in addition to a Tetris and billiards.”

Li Mu was stunned: "So many types?!"

"Yeah." Kong Lingyu said, "That company originally imitated Lianzhong to create an online chess and card platform, but the follow-up capital chain did not keep up, and the game platform could not be pushed after it went online. They sold all their games in a package."

Speaking, Kong Lingyu added: "Tetris, billiards, and Sichuan Mahjong have not been finished yet. I dug all their technical development teams. Now they are working here and continue to play. Their team has a total of Thirteen people, the salary is not high, and the amount of funds is not large, so I didn't report to you in time."

"Excellent! Beautiful work!" Li Mu was very pleasantly surprised after hearing this. Kong Lingyu really dug a treasure for himself! Delegating power to him and other core members by himself has a great effect. An online game development team and more than ten game programs are packaged. This kind of good thing is simply an opportunity that cannot be missed.

Li Mu pressed him: "Will they sell the game programs to other families?"

Kong Lingyu said: "No, I bought it out at a price of 3 million. The copyright is with us. If they resell it, they will be held criminally responsible. Besides, the core members of the team are all in our company. Work is very satisfying.”

After finishing speaking, Kong Lingyu said again: "Boss, the price is a little more expensive, but there were other companies that had acquisition intentions at that time. I was afraid that Ye Changmeng would buy it directly."

Li Mu smiled and said: "It's fine, it's nothing to spend so much money, for us, the time saved is more cost-effective than the money spent, not to mention the harvest of a mature team, it's worth it alone. It's gone!"

This is the benefit of a certain degree of decentralization. The Muye Science and Technology Exhibition is getting bigger and bigger, and Li Mu has a lot of things to do. In most cases, he can't preside over the company's daily operations, so he can't control everything by himself and divide the power. , and let competent and trustworthy subordinates make decisions for themselves, the effect is often better.

Take Kong Lingyu's acquisition of the game source code and the development of the team as an example, if Kong Lingyu reported the matter to himself, and then he went to understand the various details of the other party, and then considered whether the price was appropriate, it would be easy to miss it. Such a good opportunity, millions of things, Kong Lingyu decides by himself, fast, efficient, and can better help him determine his position, he is not a worker, he is a senior leader of the company, he has his own s right.

While Li Mu was relieved, he asked him again: "Then when do you think the yy game hall will be able to integrate these more than a dozen games, and then release it to the public?"

Kong Lingyu thought for a while and said, "It should be fine in about twenty days."

Li Mu said with satisfaction: "It's okay at this time, you have to ensure quality and quantity, don't be greedy for speed."

Kong Lingyu said, "Don't worry, Boss, we have it all in our hearts."

Li Mu asked him again: "I mentioned to you before that for each mini-game, we need to design some cute and interesting dialogue templates, and we also need to find male and female dubbing. Have you done this?"

Kong Lingyu said: "I did, I found a total of six people, three males and three females, and six different versions of each game were recorded. I have not yet decided which version to use. Boss, do you want to listen to it yourself? Make a choice. ?"

Li Mu said with a smile: "I won't get involved in this kind of thing. You are the creators of the product. You decide what style is more suitable for your product and more acceptable to your users."

Kong Lingyu said: "Well, I will call everyone to vote tomorrow, and the minority will obey the majority."

"Ok!" Li Mu said with satisfaction, and then added: "By the way, the design team must package the visual effects of the game well, and the company's future design power in uI, plane, elements, etc. must continue to strengthen, this point You keep communicating with Qingya, and if you feel that there is a shortage of manpower, don’t hesitate to add someone immediately.”

"Okay." Kong Lingyu said, "I'll give Qingya a call to communicate later."

Just when Li Mu was pleased with Kong Lingyu's progress, he didn't know that Mr. Ma, who was far away in the Shenzhen market, also came up with the idea of ​​copying Lianzhong games.

Sadly, Mr. Ma didn't know that Li Mu was also doing this, and even started earlier than him. He has just started to lead the team to sort out the product framework, and Li Mu's yy game hall is about to be completed, and it is still All of a sudden there are more than a dozen games... (To be continued.)
