Li Mu received many calls throughout the morning. Four people including Zhang Kexuan and Ye Tianming called to thank him. Du Wei and his sister Du Fei also called to thank Li Mu. Afterwards, Chen Ze, Xu Jiaming, Lin Lin, Fatty Wang and others all called to thank Li Mu. He called to congratulate him, and Xu Jiaming brought news to Li Mu. Several companies that sponsored "Old Boy" this time called him to express their gratitude. Originally, they were looking at Xu Jiaming's face, so they casually thought of losing money. They invested in some advertising placements in "Oldboy", but now it seems that they have made a lot of money from this advertising placement. The actual display effect is more than dozens of times the cost they invested.
What Li Mu didn't expect was that even Chen Kun called Li Mu to thank him. In fact, the overall impression of the villain he played this time was not very bad, and the final discovery of conscience also saved a lot of impression points for this character. , so many people were deeply impressed by his role and fully affirmed his performance in Tieba. Moreover, the number of fans of Chen Kun's Tieba jumped from more than 6,000 to 70,000, which doubled. More than ten times.
After finally answering a series of phone calls, Ning Hao told Li Mu that he had received many calls from producers, directors, screenwriters and heads of film and television companies in the industry this morning. They were all asking about the copyright of the micro-movie "Oldboy" , some want to remake it into a big movie, and some want to fill in the plot and remake it into a TV series.
Li Mu asked him: "How profitable do you think it would be to remake it into a big movie?"
Ning Hao said: "The current box office volume of movies is not very optimistic. If the original team is still used, it is estimated to be tens of millions, but if the people are replaced, there is no guarantee."
Li Mu asked: "Do you think if you were asked to direct the big movie "Oldboy", would you be qualified?"
Ning Hao smiled and said, "Yes, I can, but to be honest, I'm not suitable for this kind of film."
Li Mu smiled and asked: "What do you think you are suitable for filming?"
Ning Hao said: "I've been thinking about a dark humorous script recently. I'll show it to you when I finish it."
Li Muchin said, don't write "Crazy Stone" at this time. The box office is so sluggish now, so filming "Crazy Stone" is a bit of a loss. Besides, the core role of "Crazy Stone" is to play the black skin. Li Mu still doesn’t know what is going on with Huang Bo now. Li Mu remembers that he filmed Guan Hu’s “Get in the Car and Let’s Go” two years ago. After that low-budget film and before filming “Crazy Stone”, he It seemed that he had been a bit player for many years, and it was not until 2005's "Survival of the Migrant Workers" that he began to stand out. Now Li Mu is not sure whether his acting skills are enough to support "Crazy Stone".
However, Li Mu didn't ask any further questions and would wait until Ning Hao's script was written.
The priority rebroadcast rights of "Old Boy" were vested at noon. With Li Mu's approval, Ning Hao gave the priority rebroadcast rights to Hunan Satellite TV for two million, which was slightly lower than other companies' quotes. However, sacrificing a little profit is also an investment for Li Mu. Xiangnan Satellite TV has become the number one domestic satellite TV station since the first episode of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" was broadcast, and is the most suitable partner in Li Mu's mind.
Because the pace of things was very fast, after Ning Hao faxed a contract to Hunan Satellite TV, Hunan Satellite TV immediately transferred the money to Makino Yingying's public account, and then they set the schedule for the rebroadcast of "Old Boy". The program was moved back, and "Oldboy" was replayed on time after the news broadcast ended at 7:30.
Since the rebroadcast time of other TV stations is set at 10 o'clock in the evening, in order to make the most of this time difference, Xiangnan Satellite TV has been continuously posting floating advertisements on the low-end of many TV programs since noon, announcing the rebroadcast at 7:30. "Oldboy" news.
Geng Jianyong, who had been thinking about how to deal with the crisis all night, was almost going crazy. Seeing that the negative impact of the premiere of "Oldboy" last night had not yet been remedied, Hunan Satellite TV promoted the rebroadcast arrangement with such great fanfare. This is simply a frustrating rhythm.
Geng Jianyong asked someone to contact the relevant person in charge of the TV station, hoping that the other party would stop broadcasting "Oldboy", or edit "Oldboy" and cut out the clips related to Jishen Laobaigan, but he was rejected.
The reason is very simple. Makino Video's requirement is not to cut a single frame. They broadcast other people's copyrights for free. If they violate the contract regulations, they will be held accountable. And "Oldboy" is so popular that they are not allowed to rebroadcast it. It's even more impossible. Geng Jianyong is not a big customer for these TV stations, and some of them don't even have advertising partnerships. Naturally, they won't sell him face.
And Hunan Satellite TV's publicity efforts are still increasing. In the afternoon, some live news programs even reported "Oldboy" in the form of news in the program, and also announced the priority rebroadcast period of Hunan Satellite TV tonight. It seems that Shonan Satellite TV will spare no effort to spread this news as widely as possible before 7:30 pm.
Geng Jianyong anxiously went around, contacted the bank directly, and used his acquaintances at the bank to freeze Geng Yang's bank card. Then he called Geng Yang, who had left home last night, and said harshly: "If you don't solve this problem today, you will From today on, don’t even think about taking a penny from your home.”
Geng Yang didn't expect that his father would play such a trick. If he had known earlier, he would have definitely applied for a new card and transferred all the money in the card, but it was too late now. All his bank cards were in a loss report protection state. Although He has his own identity document and can report the loss to replace his card, but he must return to the bank where he opened his account. He can freeze his card from the local bank, and naturally he can also make the local bank refuse to replace his card.
Without money, Geng Yang would not be able to survive in Yanjing. His daily expenses in Yanjing are no less than five figures, but after all his bank cards were frozen, he only had a few thousand yuan in cash.
Geng Yang suddenly became anxious and asked Tang Quan to discuss a solution. Tang Quan meant that since Li Mu was so insidious, he could not let him go. But now that his family had cut off his source of funds, Geng Yang, let alone seeking revenge from Li Mu, was even with Yan Yan. Jing didn't have the ability to survive. As the saying goes, a gentleman's revenge is never too late, so he strongly suggested that Geng Yang give in to Li Mu first and make a phone call to beg for mercy. Even if he pretended to be a grandson, he had to get through the crisis at hand.
Tang Quan also had his own small calculations in doing this. Geng Yang was also one of his financial backers. If he lost his source of funds, he would also suffer a lot of losses. Furthermore, he had conflicts with Li Mu, but he couldn't afford to offend him. Now that Geng Yang has a conflict with Li Mu, Tang Quan hopes to further intensify Geng Yang's hatred for Li Mu. It is definitely a good way to let him pretend to be Li Mu's grandson and apologize.
If Geng Yang adopts his suggestion, regardless of whether Li Mu accepts it or not, his hatred for Li Mu will be greatly increased because of his groveling. If Li Mu happens to accept Geng Yang's act of giving in, in the "Old Boy" microblog By letting them off the hook for the movie, Geng Yang can restore his source of funding. Moreover, with Geng Yang's vengeful character, he will never accept Li Mu's favor.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Geng Yang was quite resistant to Tang Quan's proposal and asked him to kowtow to Li Mu? It's better to kill him, or let him take a knife and go to Li Mu to fight.
Tang Quan could only look like a brother, I understand you, sighed, and said sincerely: "Brother, think about it, this kid Li Mu is also a person with a net worth of 100 million. Under normal circumstances, you and I add up to I can barely compete with him, but if you lose the source of funds, it’s like losing one of our hands, and it’s the strongest one, so how can we play with him?”
Geng Yang had a pale look on his face and gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, I'm just so angry. Why don't you apologize to him? Why don't you just kill me..."
Tang Quan could see that Geng Yang actually had some compromises in his heart, but he was just trying to be tough and wanted to find some steps with him, so he hurriedly comforted him and said: "Don't worry, brother, you just need to be patient and take a step back. After passing this hurdle, we will always have the opportunity to return the man named Li a thousand times a hundred times in the future."
Geng Yang nodded with difficulty and said bitterly: "When this matter is over, I will fucking kill him!"
Tang Quan laughed, patted his shoulder and said, "That's right. Bearing humiliation and bearing the burden is not a bad thing, but it is the motivation to avenge one's previous shame."
Geng Yang took out his mobile phone and hesitated before calling Li Mu. The two had a brief communication on the phone last time, and that was the only communication between the two since Zhao Kang was beaten. Immediately afterwards, Li Mu Geng Yang was caught off guard by such a killer move, which came directly towards his family property, and the attack was ruthless and accurate.
Li Mu didn't expect Geng Yang to call him. When he received his call, Li Mu said in a cold tone: "Why did you call me?"
Geng Yang clenched his fists tightly and said, "Li Mu, our business is our business. You shouldn't attack my family. This is unkind and against the rules."
Li Mu hummed and said, "It's our business. If you hit my friend, it's against the rules. After all, it's you who didn't follow the rules first."
Just when Geng Yang was about to argue, Li Mu said impatiently: "You have something to say. If you still talk nonsense like this, then I will hang up."
Tang Quan hurriedly reminded Geng Yang in a low voice: "Be able to bend and stretch, and put the overall situation first!"
Geng Yang's expression was as ugly as eating shit. He forced himself to calm down and tried to soften his tone: "Well, it was my fault that your friend was beaten last time. I apologize and am willing to compensate. How much can you tell me? The number and money matters are easy to discuss. As long as you delete the clip about our Jishen Lao Baigan in "Oldboy", we will be on the same page from now on."
Li Mu said: "I'm not short of money, and my friends are not short of money either. Even if you get 1.8 million, we won't look down on you."
Geng Yang was holding back his anger and asked, "Then tell me how you want to solve it."
Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Well, my friend said that the Ferrari you drove when you beat him was quite arrogant. You drive that Ferrari to Haizhou before 7:30 tonight to compensate him."
