Chapter 205 This Is a Pig-Killing Scheme, Everything Is Messed Up
The entertainment industry is a magical industry. There are many people who are popular in this industry, but some are only popular for a few months, some are only popular for a few years, and some may be popular for ten years.
But there are too few people who are popular for a lifetime.
After all, most people are either out of date or ruined.
There are very few artists who can become popular, and there are only a few people in the entertainment industry.
Take Mu Zihuan for example, he only became popular when he was 40 years old. Before the age of 40, Mu Zihuan could not say that he had no dramas. He also played many leading male roles, but they were basically lukewarm.
But no one expected that Mu Zihuan would suddenly become popular when he was 40 years old, and the fire would get out of control.
Mu Zihuan has three talents in TV series, movies, and variety shows. Basically, he is the most popular uncle in the entertainment industry. Later, Mu Zihuan started to work as a producer and turned into capital.
In the past few years, Mu Zihuan has produced many high-quality dramas, and his investment ability has also been highly praised by the industry. Now Mu Zihuan has made a perfect transformation.
The transformation from artist to boss.
However, Mu Zihuan did not completely withdraw from the industry and work behind the scenes. For example, Modu TV's "Actors Come to Crossover" this time has Mu Zihuan as the host and convener. At the same time, Mu Zihuan also has investment in this variety show. .
Logically speaking, Mu Zihuan, a veteran who has been in the entertainment industry for such a long time, should be quite smart, or can be called a cunning person.
Don’t say anything else.
At least Mu Zihuan turned the public opinion of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" quite beautifully this time.
Originally, Ling Mei's tearing apart Liang Yi and Lin Xing had made many people very angry. Not only did everyone vent their anger on Ling Mei's behalf, they even helped Ling Mei scold Lin Xing and Liang Yi together, and even prepared to Tearing the cast of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" apart.
The result was good.
Mu Zihuan turned the situation around with three strokes, five divisions and two divisions.
At present, the crew of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" has fought a good battle in publicity, which is directly manipulating public opinion to reverse the situation.
For many professional public relations teams, what they often do is to manipulate public opinion.
Many things are made on the hot searches on Weibo, and many keywords are also made by them for netizens to see.
No one knows this better than Mu Zihuan.
After all, he is a master of publicity and marketing.
Let's put it this way, Mu Zihuan is not handsome. Many of the film and television dramas he filmed before were basically not popular. Even the urban romance dramas he filmed were not liked by many people.
Then, as he got older, he started to engage in marketing.
Just show off your acting skills.
You must know that Mu Zihuan is a professional actor after all. He has been acting since he was 18 years old, and has been polishing his acting skills in theaters. Let’s put it this way, among actors of the same age, Mu Zihuan can be regarded as the top actor. three.
In other words, Mu Zihuan, who is already 40 years old, goes to compete with a bunch of young freshmen and a bunch of popular artists to compete for acting skills. What kind of dimensionality-reducing blow is that? ?
Therefore, Mu Zihuan's popularity is due to his strength on the one hand, and publicity and marketing on the other.
If you have the strength, marketing will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
Today, Mu Zihuan is among the top three in the same track, even in the uncle circle, and is even far ahead, so even if he is not acting now, he can just appear in variety shows to maintain his exposure.
Just like many old actors no longer film.
How much money do you earn after working so hard while filming? ?
If you want to make money, wouldn't it be good to go on a variety show? ?
There are many variety shows where you can go sightseeing and make money at the same time.
This is the reason why many celebrities are willing to participate in variety shows.
For Mu Zihuan, he just needs to maintain the current popularity.
After all, Mu Zihuan can now make a lot of money by investing in some film and television dramas.
Artists have made money in recent years, but Mu Zihuan has made even more money as an investor. Almost all the dramas he invested in have made a profit, especially last year's hit fairy tale drama "The Master Wants to Ascend". The profit almost reached hundreds of millions.
Not only that, the sequel to the drama "Master Dao Wants to Ascend" is about to be put into production. The investors of the drama "Or Dao" are basically exclusively invested by Mu Zihuan Company, and several other companies are Quit early.
After all, the production costs of fairy tale dramas are too high. This drama has changed several companies before and after, and it took as long as five years from preparation to filming and production.
In five years, sometimes the day lily of a drama becomes cold.
But Youdao never worries about being too late. Even if it takes five years, "Master Dao Will Ascend" still relies on its strong production and the wonderful ensemble cast. Especially before, many people felt that the special effects of this drama were poor. The special effects are 50 cents, and this show is about fraud and money laundering.
After all, the investment in "Master Dao Wants to Ascend" alone is as high as 300 million.
The production cost of a Xianxia TV series was as high as 300 million. This was only five years ago. Who don’t think this is fucking money laundering? ?
At the beginning, the production company of "The Master is Going to Ascend" had already withdrawn early, and they all transferred their shares to Mu Zihuan's company.
It is precisely because of the popularity of this drama that Mu Zihuan quickly became the biggest winner.
Today, Mu Zihuan can be said to be very proud of himself.
After all, the profit from "The Master Will Ascend" is too high, why did he invest in "For Whom the Bell Tolls" without blinking an eye.
It's simple, he has money.
This time, inserting Ling Mei into the crew was considered a casual move by Mu Zihuan.
Unlike other donors, Mu Zihuan's favorite thing is equal exchange.
He likes this Ling Mei, or he appreciates this Ling Mei's young and beautiful body, especially since this Ling Mei still does everything she can to serve him in bed, and more importantly, her acting is quite realistic.
In this aspect, Ling Mei is hundreds of times better at acting than Mu Zihuan's current original partner.
Because of this, Mu Zihuan also indulged Ling Mei.
But what Ling Mei did this time made Mu Zihuan still very angry. He likes to manipulate these girls. He especially likes to control the fate of these girls. Many times, Mu Zihuan likes to throw a piece of meat and let these girls go one by one. Go grab it.
how to say?
Mu Zihuan likes this feeling of being superior and controlling other people's destiny.
But Ling Mei went a little too far. You must know that Ling Mei's private video response is an extremely dangerous thing. If this thing is not done well, it will become a crisis public relations.
So Mu Zihuan first hit Ling Mei, and then he quickly settled the matter. At the same time, he asked Ling Mei to send a video to give her latest response.
Of course, this latest response is a standard PR release.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Mu, I was a little too impulsive this time."
Ling Mei vomited, then raised her head and said pitifully towards Mu Zihuan.
"It won't happen again."
Mu Zihuan patted Ling Mei's head gently: "You need to rest due to your injury, so don't use so much force. And if there is anything you should tell me in advance, do you know that you almost ruined this drama?" …”
"Well, I'm sorry, Teacher Mu, I won't dare to do that again next time."
Although Ling Mei is a bit stupid, she knows how she got all this, so she can occasionally show off her temper. This time she dared to expose herself directly. On the one hand, she wanted to gain a position, and on the other hand, she also wanted to give Mu Mu a try. Zihuan tolerates his own shortcomings.
Now it seems that Mu Zihuan is not bad, so Ling Mei will work harder.
After briefly cleaning up, Ling Mei asked worriedly: "Then my scenes won't be maliciously deleted by them, right?"
"No, now the crew's first batch of filming funds has been used up, and then they need my second funding..."
Mu Zihuan said with a smile: "They will not delete it. They may even add your role in the scene. You can just recuperate honestly from now on. We will talk about other things after the injury is healed."
"Well, I listen to you."
Ling Mei was as well-behaved as a puppy at this time.
"Mr. Mu, it's bad, something happened..."
At this moment, Mu Zihuan received a call from his lawyer.
“Lawyer Hong, what’s wrong??”
Mu Zihuan frowned slightly.
"Mr. Mu, where are you now? I'll go find you..."
The man known as Lawyer Hong said with a slightly anxious look on his face: "We may have been deceived about the drama "The Master is Going to Ascend"."
“Cheated???”
Mu Zihuan was a little stunned: "What do you mean???"
Half an hour later, Mu Zihuan came to his company, and after listening to what Lawyer Hong said, he said in disbelief: "What did you say? That Xinghui Company actually asked us to share dividends?? And Ding Haiyang went Surrendered?"
"Yes, Xinghui Company said that the contract signed by Mr. Ding and them was invalid..."
Lawyer Hong said helplessly: "They said that Ding Haiyang forged the seal privately, and they had no idea..."
For a moment, Mu Zihuan's whole body felt a little fried after hearing these words.
You must know that the first investor in the drama "The Master Is Going to Ascend", or in other words, the majority of the initial investment was Xinghui Company, but later Xinghui Company felt that the production cost was too high, and they withdrew. At the same time, they were withdrawing. They sold their share to Mu Zihuan before.
These are all signed contracts.
As a result, Lawyer Hong now says that this fucking contract is invalid because the seal on the contract is a carrot seal.
Are you kidding me? ?
Ding Haiyang is his brother-in-law. Mu Zihuan has trusted his brother-in-law very much over the years. He has ordered Ding Haiyang to do many things in the company.
But now Ding Haiyang actually surrendered.
Is he trying to trick himself? ? ?
Mu Zihuan, who was a little angry, or almost vomiting blood, drove directly back home.
But what makes Mu Zihuan a little confused is that the house seems to have been ransacked. His wife Ding Jingjing is no longer here, and even Ding Jingjing's clothes are not here.
"Honey, I'm going abroad for a few days. Let's talk when I come back."
This is a message Mu Zihuan received from Ding Jingjing.
damn it.
be cheated.
In an instant, Mu Zihuan felt dizzy.
As I said before, Ding Jingjing is much younger than Mu Zihuan, and the two have always been very affectionate after they got married. Ding Jingjing has always seemed to be a good wife and loving mother.
Even Ding Jingjing expressed her desire to have a child with Mu Zihuan countless times, but she always failed.
In addition, Ding Jingjing also introduced her younger brother to Mu Zihuan. Because Ding Haiyang was quite good at doing things, Mu Zihuan paid more and more attention to Ding Haiyang.
In the past few years, Mu Zihuan has even handed over all matters of the company to Ding Haiyang to handle.
So did the Ding siblings repay him like this? ? ?
In short, Mu Zihuan's mind gradually became clear at this time.
He met Ding Jingjing at a dinner party. The president of Xinghui Company was also there. The two seemed to have a good chat. Later, it was the president of Xinghui Company who introduced Ding Jingjing.
So this was a trap from the beginning.
This is a pig-killing scheme.
The next day.
The filming of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is still going on.
According to the normal plan, the filming of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" will be accelerated, and not only will it be accelerated, but it will also be divided into two groups.
After all, Dong Deng started with a group scene, so after the group scene was completed, it was basically divided into groups.
One group was shooting the line of Liang Yi and An Yifeng.
The other group was shooting the line of Lin Xing and Wang Lu.
To be honest, for the crew, these two days were like a roller coaster ride. No one expected that Ling Mei would be so annoying.
It's fine if I hate him during filming, but he's so arrogant even though he's a resource guy, and he doesn't know how to be grateful.
So after Ling Mei got together, everyone was in a good mood.
But during the filming, everyone felt something was wrong.
Because Dong Deng didn't seem to be in a good mood during the filming today. Not only that, Dong Deng was distracted a few times.
Two hours later, Dong Deng called Lin Xing and several other leading actors to the conference room.
"I have something to tell you."
Dong Deng looked at Lin Xing and others and said helplessly.
"Director Dong, what's wrong???"
Ren Shuai asked first.
"Today should be the filming of the last scene of "For Whom the Bell Tolls."
Dong Deng sighed and said.
