The fastest update of "Lord of Pro" [630kan]
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 talking about? We are brothers. We are happy for you if you make money."
Lu Yuanhai chimed in: "Yes, I'm happy for you."
“Why are you happy for me?” Ma Wu didn’t drink the wine. “Shouldn’t you be happy? Our two families have jointly invested in making a movie. Now that we’ve made some money, we can divide it however we want!”
"That's unorthodox, that's unorthodox," Lu Yuanshan offered Ma Wu another cigar, "It's unorthodox to talk about dividing the money. We shouldn't talk about this among brothers."
Lu Yuanhai said: "Old Fifth, it's not easy for you to work hard in Green Water City. We brothers feel sorry for you and it's our duty to help you."
"What do you mean by patronage?" Ma Wu became angrier as he listened. "When we do business together, we judge the results based on the sales. Tomorrow I will call all the reporters here and we will discuss the division of the profits first."
"No, no!" Lu Yuanshan waved his hand and said, "We have discussed with Uncle Qiu that all the money earned from Bloodshot Detective will belong to you. Our share will be used as a sponsorship for you to shoot the second part."
Lu Yuanhai said: "To be honest, we two brothers don't care about this. We made the movie just for you, so don't be polite to us."
polite?
The Ling family's "Blood Blade Detective" was squeezed out by Ma Wu's "Blood Gun Detective", and suffered heavy losses in both 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.
The Lu family will slowly withdraw from the company that they opened in partnership with Ma Wu, under the pretext of leaving it to Ma Wu, but in reality the company has become a doormat for dirty movies and dirty work.
"Shoot! Why not?"
Are these two brothers so kind?
Do you really think Ma Wu doesn't understand what you are saying?
In the future, the Lu family will open a new company to make serious movies.
Ma Wu quit. When he returned to Xiaoyaowu, he heard that Li Banfeng had returned. He opened two bottles of good wine and poured out his grievances to Li Banfeng for the entire afternoon.
You can’t blame the Lu family for being cruel; this is how business is done.
All of the Lu family’s goals have been achieved.
The rest of the blame will be borne by Ma Wu.
Lu Yuanshan quickly advised: "Old Five, what you said hurts the relationship."
They don't want the profits from "Blood Gun Detective" anymore, not because they really don't care about the money, but because they don't want to damage the Lu family's reputation.
Ma Wu waved his hands and said, "Seventh Brother, you don't understand. I risked my reputation to fight Ling Miaoying. You may not have even seen the movie I shot..."
Drinking anything will do no good!
The film company was jointly opened by two families, with the Lu family holding half of the shares. They had a set of processes, including supporting roles, casting, and box office sales, and the two brothers learned them all. They also had a set of staff, including screenwriters, directors, and cameramen.
"The press conference for the next movie is coming soon. If my two brothers don't show up, I won't shoot this movie!" Ma Wu was angry.
With experience, resources, connections and means, the Lu family has already extended its hand into the film industry.
Lu Yuanhai also advised: "Old Five, what's wrong with you? You weren't like this before. Have a drink and calm down."
"Seventh Brother, do you think this play can still be filmed?"
But Ma Wu is a savvy businessman, so how could he not see through this matter?
Li Banfeng put down his glass and said, "I read it, twice."
"If you've watched it, you should know that it's not a movie anymore. It's embarrassing. Even I feel embarrassed."
"Why isn't it a movie? Why is it embarrassing?"
Ma Wu lowered his head and said nothing. Although he came from a wealthy family, he was a Protonian after all, and some of his ideas were still within the boundaries of Proton.
Li Banfeng patiently advised: "In other states, there are countless directors who have become famous through this kind of film. This is art.
There are many Western art galleries in Green Water City, and people there don't think it's shameful to paint Western paintings, so why is it shameful here?"
Ma Wu shook his head and said, "A painting is a painting, but this is a movie, it's different."
"What's the difference? They're all art. If you can't do it, you're a shame. If you can do it, you're a master! This has been decided, and it must be filmed."
Ma Wu raised his head and said, "Does that mean we have to add your name as well?"
"No! I'm not afraid of embarrassment, but I can't reveal my identity."
Ma Wu sighed and said, "Alright, I'll listen to you in everything. Will we shoot the second movie the same way as the first one?"
"It can't be the same as the first film. The first film was powerful enough, but the story was a little off, and the audience would get tired of it.
You should ask those screenwriters to put more thought into writing the story to make it more interesting. "
"I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time. I don't know what method the Ling family used to make a movie in just one month. If I take my time, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with them."
"No need to rush ahead of them," Li Banfeng was very confident about the current situation. "If you spend more time this time, you won't be afraid of being ten days or half a month late. A little later will have a better effect. 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 legitimate business?"
"Serious, very serious!" Li Banfeng looked at Ma Wu with sincerity, "You will be right if you listen to me. We are sure to win this business!"
…
"We can't let Ma Wu continue filming like this, otherwise he will take over our business!" Zhou Changhong put down the newspaper in his hand and said to Ling Miaoying, "We have to make trouble for Ma Wu. If they dare to burn our film, we can smash their studio. This is called a give and take."
"Blood Blade" was released, but the box office was far below expectations. Zhou Changhong was in a bad mood and Ling Miaoying was under a lot of pressure.
Now Zhou Changhong is trying to slander her, and Ling Miaoying thinks this is a bit irrational.
"The Lu family is behind Ma Wu. If we take action against the Lu family, our reputation will be ruined."
"We don't need to do anything. How is the communication with Sanyingmen going?"
"The Second Master has a good relationship with us and should be able to help us, but the gang members all speak the same language, so it's hard to say to what extent they can help us."
Zhou Changhong had a good idea in mind: "We don't need to be too demanding in terms of the level, as long as they can send someone.
Ma Wu's film was too dirty, and the Lu family didn't want to get too involved. Seeing that Sanyingmen had reached out, they would definitely not show up easily. At that time, they would definitely let Ma Wu bear the consequences himself. I wonder how he will handle it this time!"
…
Ma Wu found the actors and finalized the script. On the day of filming, a thin young man arrived on the set with a dozen of his subordinates.
The production manager came forward to clear the scene: "Everyone, we are filming. The director just said that all irrelevant people please leave."
"What do you mean by irrelevant people?" The young man took a bite of the meat pie in his hand and said while chewing, "Aren't you guys filming a movie? We're here to watch the show, and you won't let us watch the show?"
The stage manager wanted to say a few more words but was pushed by the young man's men and staggered.
The director knew that these people were here to cause trouble, so he asked someone to notify Ma Wu immediately.
When Ma Wu arrived at the set, the young man was lecturing the actress: "You are so young and beautiful, why don't you do anything else? Why do you have to do this?
This thing has been filmed, and others have seen your little thing. How can you live in the future? You can still get married.
