Chapter 258 This Is Art!

Ma Wu didn't care much about his reputation, but this time, he was really angry.

Lu Yuanshan poured a glass of wine for Ma Wu: "Jun Yang, what are you saying? We are brothers. You made money, we are happy for you."

Lu Yuanhai echoed from the side: "Yes, we are all happy for you."

"What are you happy for me?" Ma Wu didn't drink the glass of wine, "Shouldn't you be happy? The two families jointly funded the film. Now that we have made money, we can divide it as we want!"

"That's out of the ordinary, that's out of the ordinary," Lu Yuanshan poured another cigar for Ma Wu, "Talking about dividing the money is out of the ordinary, we don't talk about this between brothers."

Lu Yuanhai said: "Old Wu, it's not easy for you to fight in Green Water City , we brothers feel bad for you, and it is our duty to help you. "

"What do you mean by help?" Ma Wu got angrier and angrier as he listened, "When we do business together, we will judge the profits based on the sales. Tomorrow I will call all the reporters to discuss the division of the profits first."

"No, no!" Lu Yuanshan waved his hand and said, "We have discussed with Uncle Qiu that the money earned from "Blood Gun Detective" will belong to you, and our share will be regarded as sponsoring you to shoot the second part."

Lu Yuanhai said: "To be honest, we two brothers don't care about this. We are making movies for you, so don't be polite to us."

Polite?

Are these two brothers so kind?

Do they really think Ma Wu can't understand this?

They don't want the profits from "Blood Gun Detective", not because they really don't care about money, but because they don't want to hurt the reputation of the Lu family.

The film company was jointly opened by the two families, and the Lu family held half of the shares. They learned the supporting roles, casting, and box office sales... all in one process. They also controlled the screenwriters, directors, and cameramen... all in one team.

With experience, resources, connections, and means, the Lu family has already reached into the film industry.

The Ling family's "Blood Blade Detective" was squeezed out by Ma Wu's "Blood Gun Detective", and suffered heavy losses in terms of fame and profit. It was already very difficult for the Ling family to dominate the film industry, which just made room for the Lu family.

All the goals of the Lu family have been achieved.

The rest of the infamy will be borne by Ma Wu.

In the future, the Lu family will open a new company to make serious movies.

The Lu family will slowly withdraw from the company jointly opened with Ma Wu, under the pretext of leaving it to Ma Wu, but in fact, the company has become a foot-wiping cloth for making dirty movies and doing dirty work.

You can't blame the Lu family for being cruel, this is how business should be done.

But Ma Wu is a business savvy, how could he not see through this matter.

"The press conference for the next movie is coming soon. If the two brothers don't show up, I won't shoot this movie!" Ma Wu was angry.

Lu Yuanshan quickly advised: "Old Five, what you said hurts the relationship."

Lu Yuanhai also advised: "Old Five, what's wrong with you? You didn't have this temper before. Have a drink and calm down."

Drinking anything is useless!

Ma Wu quit, and when he returned to Xiaoyaowu, he heard that Li Banfeng had returned, so he opened two bottles of good wine and poured out his grievances to Li Banfeng for an afternoon.

"Seventh Brother, do you think this movie can still be filmed?"

"Yes! Why not?"

Ma Wu waved his hand and said, "Seventh Brother, you don't understand. I risked my reputation to fight Ling Miaoying. You may not have watched the movie I filmed..."

Li Banfeng put down his glass and said, "I watched it. I watched it twice."

"If you watched it, you should know that it is not a movie. It is embarrassing. Even I feel embarrassed."

"Why is it not a movie? Why is it embarrassing?"

Ma Wu lowered his head and said nothing. Although he was born in a wealthy family, he was a Prosperous state after all, and some of his concepts were still within the boundaries of Prosperous state.

Li Banfeng patiently persuaded: "In other states, there are countless directors who have become famous through this kind of movies. This is art.

There are also many Western art galleries in Lushui City. People who paint Western paintings don't feel ashamed. Why is it embarrassing here?"

Ma Wu shook his head and said, "Painting is painting, and ours is a movie. It's different."

"What's the difference? They are all art. It's embarrassing if things can't be done. If things are done, you are a famous artist! This matter has been decided and must be filmed."

Ma Wu raised his head and said, "Does it have to include your name as well?"

"No! I'm not afraid of being embarrassed, but I can't reveal my identity."

Ma Wu sighed: "Okay, anyway, I will listen to you in everything. Will the second movie be filmed like the first one?"

"It can't be the same as the first one. The first one is enough in terms of impact, but the story is a little worse, and the audience will have aesthetic fatigue.

You should ask those screenwriters to put more thought into writing the story more beautifully."

"I'm afraid it's too late. I don't know what method the Ling family used to make a movie in a month. If I take my time, I'm afraid I won't be able to get ahead of them."

"No need to get ahead of them," Li Banfeng is very confident in the current situation. "If you spend more time this time, you won't be afraid of being late for ten days or half a month. A little later, the effect will be better. At least half of the publicity done by the Ling family will benefit us."

Ma Wu blinked and said, "Do you really think this is a serious business?"

"Serious, very serious!" Li Banfeng looked at Ma Wu sincerely, "You can listen to me, we will definitely win this business!"

...

"We can't let Ma Wu continue to shoot like this, otherwise we will be eaten by him!" Zhou Changhong put down the newspaper in his hand and said to Ling Miaoying, "We have to make some trouble for Ma Wu. If they dare to burn our film, we can smash their studio. This is called give and take."

"Blood Blade Detective" was released, and the box office was far less than expected. Zhou Changhong was in a bad mood, and Ling Miaoying was under great pressure.

Now that Zhou Changhong is coming to make trouble, Ling Miaoying feels that this is a bit irrational.

"Ma Wu is standing behind the Lu family. If we attack the Lu family, our face will be torn."

"We don't need to take action. How is the contact with Sanyingmen?"

"The second boss has a good relationship with us, so he should be able to help us, but what he says is all Jianghu dialect. It's hard to say how much he can help us."

Zhou Changhong was confident: "There is no need to be strict about the level, as long as they can send people.

The filming of Ma Wu's movie was too dirty, and the Lu family didn't want to get involved too deeply. Seeing Sanyingmen reaching out, they will definitely not show up easily. When the time comes, they will definitely let Ma Wu carry it on his own. I'll see how he carries it this time. ! "

…

Ma Wu found the actors and decided on the script. On the day of filming, a thin young man arrived at the set with a dozen of his subordinates.

The stage manager came forward to clear the scene: "Everyone, we are filming. The director just said that anyone who has no interest in the scene should leave."

"What do you mean by irrelevant people?" The young man held the meat pie in his hand, took a bite, and said while chewing, "Aren't you filming a show? We are here to watch a show, why don't you let us go to the show?"

The stage manager wanted to say a few more words, but was pushed back by the young man's subordinates.

The director knew that these people were here to cause trouble and asked someone to notify Ma Wu immediately.

When Ma Wu arrived at the set, the young man was lecturing the actress: "Look at you, you are young and you are so beautiful. Why can't you do something else? Do you have to do this?

If this thing is photographed and others see this little thing about you, how can you still live in the future? Can you still get married? Does anyone else want you? "

The actress was so frightened that she cried. Ma Wu walked closer, looked at the young man and said, "Sir, what advice do you have for us?"

"Sir? Any advice?" The young man smiled, "We don't call you sir, we all call you brothers."

Zuo Wugang reminded Ma Wu by his side: "Fifth Master, this is from the Sanying Sect. They are all called brothers."

Ma Wudao: "There is no festival between Ma and Sanyingmen. A few of you are here today..."

"There is a festival, how can you say there is no festival?" The young man interrupted Ma Wu, "Our brothers from Sanyingmen are all serious people, but we can't stand your unfair business.

Think about it for yourself, do you think this thing of yours is serious? Don’t you yourself feel shabby when you look at it? "

Zuo Wugang reminded from the side: "Fifth Master, don't ask any more questions. They are just here to cause trouble. Should we fight or not?"

When it comes to being beaten, Zuo Wugang is really not afraid.

But Ma Wu didn't want to take action.

Sanyingmen is not a big family, they are a gang, and some of them use dirty tricks. If they really want to break up, it will be like poking a hornet's nest. There are many tricks that Ma Wu has no way to resist.

The gang came to the set to cause trouble, probably for money, right?

Ma Wu asked someone to bring him a hundred oceans and gave it to the young man: "Brother, Ma's business needs you to take care of it. This is my point."

The young man pushed Dayang to Ma Wu: "Fifth Young Master, I don't want this money. We have met before, but you probably don't remember me. Let me advise you,

Don't make this movie, and don't make it in the future. You've made a lot of money, so stop now before it's too late. "

The day's filming couldn't be completed, so Ma Wu returned to Xiaoyaowu and told Li Banfeng about the matter.

Li Banfeng was very curious: "Why does Sanyingmen embarrass us?"

Ma Wu shook his head and said, "I've been thinking about this for a long time and still can't figure it out. We have nothing to offend the Sanyingmen."

"What did the Lu family say?"

"Lu Yuanshan said he would ask about this matter, but I guess I won't be able to get the result. If I'm not mistaken, the Ling family asked the Sanying Clan to do something."

Li Banfeng rubbed his forehead. The relationship between the wealthy families in Puozhou and their gangs was so complicated that he couldn't figure it out for a while.

"What's the origin of that young man who came to make trouble on the set?"

Ma Wudao: "Lao Zuo went to check, but there is no movement. I heard that he is a talented person from Sanyingmen. I don't know his surname or anything."

Li Banfeng lowered the brim of his hat: "I'll go meet him tomorrow."

"Old Qi, it's not easy to offend the Sanyingmen."

"I didn't want to offend them, but we can't let them ride on us and run wild!"

…

The next day, filming started on the set. Not long after filming, the young man came again with his men.

Today he didn't eat meatloaf, but chicken legs.

A greasy hand patted Ma Wu directly. The young man smiled and said: "Fifth Young Master, I told you that you are really ignorant and asked you to stop patting me. Why didn't you listen to my advice?"

Ma Wu said to the young man: "Brother, let's take a step to talk."

"If you take a few steps to talk, don't you still say the same thing?" The young man followed Ma Wu to the backstage of the set. "Fifth Young Master, if you want to be tough, I will do it. We can do it anywhere, but this movie will definitely not let you today. shoot."

"Then what day do you want us to shoot?" Li Banfeng appeared from a corner of the backstage and walked up to the young man, "What do you mean? Why do you come to make trouble with us?"

The young man looked at Li Banfeng and dropped the chicken drumstick in his hand: "Then, what, Brother Qi..."

Li Banfeng was shocked: "Who are you?"

PS: An acquaintance is here.
