"Do you want to invest in "Mao Liar"?"
Miracle Entertainment Company, President's Office, Li Ruotong looked at Yue Guan strangely.
Yue Guan nodded and added: "Not only investing, I also want to play a major role."
"Mao Liang" actually tells the story of a few street thieves. They are swindlers, thieves and lawless elements. They do not have noble moral character, but they have professional ethics.
Their purpose is not just for money, they are highly intelligent artists who carefully calculate every step of the plan, locking targets, making plans, carefully laying out, luring the enemy deep, and finally including those who are greedy, lustful and unkind for the sake of wealth.
This web drama has an online IQ throughout the whole process, and the layout is interlocking, which makes those who have watched it amazed.
But because of this title, this web drama probably won't become a hit in this life.
Yue Guan also doesn't want to play the role of a liar. He believes that he will definitely become famous in the future, and once a star becomes popular, he must pay attention to his social influence. It doesn't matter if you take on the role of a villain, because fans who want to be villains have no chance, and everyone knows that they are villains and cannot be imitated. But petty theft is still a positive role, and some immature fans may really imitate him.
So Yue Guan doesn't want to play a liar.
Fortunately, the most outstanding character in the second and third seasons of "Mao Liar" is Shao Zhuang. He is independent from the protagonist's gang of liars. He is a character with mysterious origins, as hidden as a lake, and a young and mature character. Shao Zhuang is known as "Shao Banxian". He is good at detailed observation and deductive reasoning. He is the strongest in the whole drama in terms of wits and layout. He also leaves his clothes after the incident, hiding his merits and fame, and has the style of an ancient knight.
From beginning to end, Shaozhuang has not violated any laws. It can be said that this is a character with zero negative reviews.
Such a character image is the guarantor of the show itself. It does not require good acting skills. As long as you act well, you will basically shine.
After listening to what Yue Guan said, Li Ruotong expressed her understanding, but she still raised objections: "You can tell from the title that this drama is too small and there is no hope of becoming a big hit."
"Indeed, this drama will not be popular." Yue Guan nodded: "Not only is the title of the drama a problem, but the values promoted by this drama are also wrong. The leading actors are all liars, which is destined to fail to make this online drama popular. , it is impossible for the higher-ups to promote this kind of online drama."
No matter how much you glorify a liar, a liar is still a liar.
Several of the leading actors also broke the law.
But judging from the ending, although the protagonist gang went their separate ways in the end, no one paid a legal price for deceiving people.
For this reason alone, there is no way this show will be on mainstream TV.
There is a reason why the "Mao Liar" series can reach a quality score of 9.7, but it is still not popular.
Seeing that Yue Caring was so clear, Li Ruotong was puzzled: "Since you can't become popular, what are you going to do with this time?"
"Sister Ruotong, the reputation of this drama may be very good."
"No matter how good it is, what's the use? If you can't make money, it's all for nothing." Li Ruotong just wants money now.
Yue Guan said calmly: "What if the reputation of this drama can reach 9.5 or above on Douban?"
Li Ruotong looked at Yue Guan in shock.
Movies and TV dramas with a score of 9.5 or above are a different concept.
Even if it means losing money, it is destined to go down in history.
Moreover, this kind of classic has a high probability of not losing money, and many people are willing to pay for it.
In the previous life, "Mao Liang" was so miserable, mainly because the main creative team's connections and operational capabilities were so poor.
A slightly more professional film and television company would not be able to lose money on a classic with a low investment but a high reputation of 9.7 points.
"Yue Guan, are you confident that "Mao Liang" can reach a score of 9.5 or above?"
"I think "Mao Liang" may be tied with "Ming Dynasty 1566"."
This is the most classic TV series recognized by the Dragon Kingdom, and it can be called a treasure even around the world.
Li Ruotong was convinced: "How much money do I need to invest?"
Yue Guan thought about the cost of "Mao Liar" and then said with a strange expression: "A few hundred thousand should be enough."
Li Ruotong: "..."
"So, this is a sure-profit deal. Even if it is a loss, it won't be much." Yue Guan said with a smile.
"As long as the Douban score of this drama reaches 9 points and the investment is less than 1 million, I can make back my investment with my eyes closed."
Although Li Ruotong is not very skilled in business skills, he still has this confidence.
Yue Guan also believed that Li Ruotong could do it because this matter was so simple.
"Forget it, it's only a few hundred thousand anyway, and you are also a shareholder of the company. Since you insist on investing, then invest." Li Ruotong actually didn't really believe that "Mao Liar" was so good as what Yue Guan said, but hundreds of thousands The investment cost was really inconspicuous. Li Ruotong thought about it and realized that there was really no need to argue with Yue Guan over this small amount of money.
"But investment is fine. Let's talk about your participation in the show later. Yue Guan, although you are not well-known now, as the only contracted artist of our company, I don't want you to accept this kind of small production, which will affect your future acceptance of other projects." The standard of play.”
Li Ruotong is obviously thinking about Yue Guan. Many times if you lower your standards for accepting roles, then good resources will no longer favor you.
Judging from the current situation, "Mao Liang" is certainly not a good resource. Even Yue Guan is not well-known now. But the first film was "The Best in the World" and the second film was "Mao Liang". Obviously It's not going uphill.
Yue Guan also knew this very well, and said to Li Ruotong very frankly: "Sister Ruotong, the self-produced online drama "Mao Liar" is based on the plot. The actors' performances are not important. I have the title of special guest. That's fine. With the quality of the web drama, if I concentrate my roles, I can probably shoot them all in a week. It won't cost me much energy, and I won't waste too much time on this drama."
He does believe in the quality of "Mao Liar", but he also believes that this online drama is unlikely to be a hit even with his participation.
The reason why I got involved was to join a classic film and television drama and improve my reputation and popularity with the public.
As for protecting the crew of "Mao Liar" in all aspects? Thinking too much, Yue Guan is very realistic in nature.
Yue Guan said this, and Li Ruotong no longer objected: "Since you can handle it clearly, you can take charge of it yourself. The main reason why I want you to come to the company this time is to let you meet the team I have assigned to you. An Ning will be your assistant. I’ve already seen it, do you need to change it?”
"No, since An Ning doesn't want to be in the entertainment industry, it's good to be an assistant. Anyway, it doesn't require too much money. The main thing is an agent. I need a professional agent."
Yue Guan deliberately emphasized the word "professional".
It doesn't matter what the assistant driver is, but if the agent doesn't satisfy him, he will definitely replace him.
Because managers are so important to artists, all the kings and queens in the entertainment industry basically have powerful managers behind the scenes.
A slight smile appeared on Li Ruotong's lips: "Don't worry, the agent I find for you will definitely satisfy you."
She picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Xiang Wan, come to my office and meet Yue Guan."
A minute later, there was a knock on the door.
A mature and intellectual professional beauty appears in front of Yue Guan.
Yue Guan was very surprised: "Qin Lan?"
The other person stretched out his right hand with a smile: "Hello, I am Mo Xiangwan."
