Chapter 211 Preparing for a Personal Studio (4k) After our last conversation, Yang Rongfa has been looking for investment everywhere. Unfortunately, there are people who add icing on the cake but few who provide timely assistance. People either think that their project is too risky and are unwilling to invest, or they are willing to invest but the conditions are worse than Wu Mu's. After looking around, he finally found that they had no choice. If they wanted the project to continue, they could only come to Wu Mu. Even if we have to find Wu Mu to replace Zhou Yu, the risk is huge as no one will cover the loss, but at least the project can be started and there is still hope. Even after delaying for a while, he couldn't help but pay a little extra for their procrastination. "You want an additional two million for the film, and an additional two hundred thousand for each composing and singing?" Yang Rongfa looked at Wu Mu speechlessly. Outrageous. Why did this person raise the price again? Since he contacted this person, before he even finished preparing for the shoot, this person has already raised the price twice. This is just a certain amount of time in total, so this is reasonable!

Wu Mu thought it was quite reasonable. He was not taking advantage of the situation. It was a completely normal request. "My popularity has increased after the show "Idol Daily Life". My Weibo fans have increased by more than 800,000. Adding 2 million to the salary is a fair price." His popularity and commercial value have increased, which are real. He thinks this small increase is already very generous. Although this amount of money is a small amount compared to the performance card, it is money that I should have taken, and there is no reason not to take it. There was no contract signed between the two parties. Now Yang Rongfa was speechless. Considering Wu Mu's growing popularity on the Internet in recent days, two million seemed quite fair. Is it that this person's fame has risen too many times and his price has been raised too frequently? It's only been half a year, and this guy raises his price every time he appears on a show. The momentum is really scary. If only this guy could keep up his momentum with drama projects. Yang Rongfa thought with a sigh in his heart. But he just thought about it, and reason told him that this kind of thing was unlikely. After all, film and television series projects are really different from singing and variety shows. The most important things for film and television series are the story script and the director’s own shooting skills. If the story script is bad, no matter how outstanding the individual performance is, it will be useless. Not to mention, he didn't dare to expect Wu Mu to do anything outstanding in acting. He felt that instead of expecting Wu Mu's outstanding acting skills to attract attention, it would be better to think about what to do if Wu Mu's acting skills are too poor and he doesn't fit in with other actors, and then he is ridiculed and becomes a hot topic. Maybe he should think about how to take advantage of the black and red traffic in advance? Yang Rongfa thought for a long time and naturally he couldn't refuse Wu Mu's increase in price. Let alone two million, even if it was a little more, as long as it was within his affordability, he could only grit his teeth and agree. It’s because they have no other investors to choose from now. After agreeing to Wu Mu's new conditions, the two sides began to discuss the specific investment plan. Soon, the two sides agreed on a rough framework. Wu Mu invested 50 million, plus the film remuneration and the fees for composing and singing, a total investment of more than 70 million, equivalent to a 45% investment share in Yang Rongfa and their new project. Wu Mu directly became the largest investor in Yang Rongfa's project. Because of the converted film remuneration, his investment share was even larger than Li Hu's previous investment. After we have discussed the general outlines, the next step is to discuss the specific details. However, there is a problem with Wu Mu. He has no company behind him. He used to take jobs for himself, so the lack of a company did not have much impact. The most important thing was that when signing the contract, he would hand it over to a professional to check if there were any traps. But now if you want to participate in film and television production, it will not be possible without a company.

Apart from anything else, he is the largest investor after all. He should at least find a producer to join the crew to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the funds he paid out. Otherwise, what if Yang Rongfa cheats him and directly embezzles his money by cheating the accounts? There are also the daily coordination, future promotion and marketing, which platform to sell the series on after it is produced, how much it will sell for, etc. All of these need to be monitored by someone on his side, otherwise he would be playing with his own money. It is obviously impossible for Wu Mu to do all these by himself. Even if he had eight hands, he would not be able to handle it all. Moreover, he is not an expert in some areas and it is easy for him to fall into traps. "It seems that we have to put the establishment of a studio on the agenda first." Wu Mu thought to himself. Originally, he thought that he didn't have much to do and could handle it by himself, so there was no need to set up a company or studio for the time being. But after investing in Yang Rongfa's project, someone must help him keep an eye on and deal with these things. He doesn't need many people, just a rough framework will be enough. After all, he mainly makes money from performance cards, and he only needs people in the studio to help him deal with the docking and avoid being cheated. The first and most important thing is to find a studio manager or general agent. Wu Mu was selecting the right person for this job in his mind. But after thinking about it, I found that there was no suitable candidate. It’s not that I can’t think of the right person. After all, I have been in the circle for so many years, so I know some people. But mainly those people that my previous life knew, all had some connection with Liu Lan. For example, his former agent Duan Ming is actually a very suitable candidate. Although from his perspective, Duan Ming was not particularly likable before, but from the perspective of Liu Lan's boss, Duan Ming was simply the most suitable subordinate. He had professional ability and work ethics, and his character was actually pretty good. He was simply a top-notch talent. But regardless of whether he has the ability to poach Duan Ming, even if he has the ability, he doesn't intend to have anything to do with Liu Lan. So Wu Mu simply gave up the idea of ​​looking for those people he knew before and planned to recruit people from another direction. Well, ask his current friends to introduce him to others. His songs are not for nothing. Wu Mu's first call was naturally to Director Lin Qingyue, who had abundant resources and connections in the circle. Lin Qingyue was not surprised at all that he was going to set up his own studio and recruit people. She had already thought of it when he said he wanted to invest in a TV series. "What are your ideas for your studio?" she asked first. Wu Mu understood that she was asking him what scale he wanted to develop the studio to, whether he intended to build it into something like a large entertainment company in the circle, or simply to let him handle things that he couldn't handle now. This way she can also recommend candidates in a targeted manner. Wu Mu's natural idea was to ask someone to help him deal with things that he couldn't handle. After all, he doesn't make money through his own efforts, but directly from the bonus of the system performance card. He also doesn't need his studio employees to help him develop any business or achieve results. He just needs some tools who can cooperate with him and help him keep an eye on things so that he won't be cheated. Anyway, just leave the money-making matter to Brother Tongzi.

Well, when he gets more performance cards and his credit limit increases, his studio might even outperform those large entertainment companies in the industry. So Wu Mu’s requirement is, “You don’t have to find someone who is too good, just someone who knows the industry well enough and won’t make mistakes. Oh, and it’s better if he has good character and professional ethics, so I don’t have to worry too much.” There is no need to look for someone who is too powerful. It will be a waste of money. Moreover, when a person is powerful, he will have ambitions, which may cause him all kinds of troubles. Lin Qingyue didn't know about his performance card. She just thought that his studio was simply there to help him deal with things that he was too busy to handle, and he had no idea of ​​expanding it. Lin Qingyue nodded and agreed to this matter, "Okay, I'll ask for you." She still needs to ask about the professional manager, but there is another thing that she doesn't need to ask separately. "You still need a producer to help you keep an eye on the crew. Let me introduce you to Sister Yan, the producer of my previous film. Sister Yan is very professional and reliable. Her fees are not too expensive. She has always been my exclusive producer." Lin Qingyue said with a smile. This is a pleasant surprise. I don’t have to look for a producer myself. Wu Mu still believed in the candidate introduced by Lin Qingyue. After making an appointment with Lin Qingyue to meet with her producer, Wu Mu continued to call other friends and asked them to keep an eye out. And since he asked someone to help keep an eye on it, the news was bound to spread. In addition, there was news that Yang Rongfa and his team had started preparations for their project again, so soon everyone in the circle who followed him knew that he was preparing to open his own studio. Beijing, Lan Entertainment Company. Wu Mu's former agent Duan Ming has also learned about this. He didn't pay special attention to Wu Mu, but Wu Mu's popularity was so high that it was hard not to notice him if one knew a little about him in the circle. What's more, he also has to pay attention to the project trends in the statistics circle, which will naturally lead him to learn about Yang Rongfa's project, and then naturally he will know that Wu Mu is planning to open his own studio. He was sorting out the documents that he would report to Liu Lan later, and among them was the information about Yang Rongfa and Wu Mu's new project. He is getting better and better. It would be fine if I had to take on jobs one after another, but now I have to open my own studio and become my own investor. Duan Ming muttered to himself. He found that he could no longer understand this former artist under his command since his scandal. It seems that since this person left the company due to the scandal, his career has actually advanced faster than before the scandal, when he was still in the company. Duan Ming thought to himself, sorted out the documents in his hand, and was about to report to Liu Lan. However, he had just finished organizing and had already stood up, but after thinking about it, he stopped and put the file with Wu Mu's name on it on the last page. Well, it’s better not to offend Mr. Liu, so as to avoid being given the cold shoulder. In fact, he did not avoid Wu Mu's name a long time ago. He always felt that Liu Lan did not take Wu Mu seriously. After all, she is the daughter of the boss of a giant company and also the boss of an entertainment company. No matter how you think about it, it's just a playful relationship. Could it be that Liu Lan still takes Wu Mu to heart? But ever since he discovered that his boss seemed to be frequently unhappy after the Wumu collapse, he realized that something was wrong. Although Liu Lan's mood has never been very positive, she used to be mainly in a state of boredom and boredom. It is quite rare to see him looking unhappy.

But in the past few months, her boss often appeared unhappy. At first, he didn't understand what Liu Lan was unhappy about, until one day he accidentally glanced at the content on his boss's computer and saw the news about Wu Mu. After that, he tried his best not to mention Wu Mu's name to avoid bad luck. Duan Ming quickly took the documents, knocked on the door and entered Liu Lan's office. Then he saw Liu Lan, who was leaning in the boss chair, looking at the computer screen, with a cold expression on her face. Not happy again. Could it be because of Wu Mu again? Duan Ming muttered to himself. Is the charm of Wu Mu really that great? How can someone still miss you even though you've already separated? It was just as he guessed in his heart, Liu Lan was really unhappy about Wu Mu's matter at this moment. On the computer screen in front of her was the video of Wu Mu and Lin Qingyue in the wheat field. It's not that she is obsessed with Wu Mudu, but she can't help feeling unhappy that her ex, whom she never cared about before, is getting better and better and has even found a new love so quickly. But unfortunately, this ex is still very popular, and he will often jump in front of her even if she doesn't pay special attention to him. She looked at the two people looking at each other under the cherry tree on the screen and found it dazzling no matter how she looked at it. Haha, when you were together with me, you didn’t write a single nice song for me, but after we broke up, you’re writing so many songs for me? Liu Lan snorted in her heart. But this actually just made her a little unhappy, and what made her pay more attention to was actually Lin Qingyue in the video. Ever since they met in Paris before, she had paid a little attention to Lin Qingyue's background. Then we know that Lin Qingyue is the daughter of Director Lin Xueming, and more importantly, her mother's background is quite impressive. In terms of all aspects, Lin Qingyue is actually better than her daughter who quarrels and has conflicts with her family. But this person had a crush on Wu Mu, whom she had never taken seriously before, and looked at him differently. Isn't this a slap in her face and a mockery of her blindness? When Liu Lan thought about this kind of thing, she couldn't help but let out the anger in her heart, and there was no way she could be in a good mood. Duan Ming tried hard not to make Liu Lan frown, but sometimes the frown would appear automatically. Liu Lan suppressed her dissatisfaction and flipped through the documents handed over by Duan Ming in an attempt to divert his attention. Then he flipped through the pages twice and happened to come to the report that Duan Ming had put at the end, which was about Yang Rongfa's project. Looking at Wu Mu's name on the file, Liu Lan's expression, which had just relaxed a little, instantly turned cold again. "Oh, this ghost is really haunting us. His name is everywhere." Liu Lan sneered and said. It’s bad, I’m just unlucky. Duan Ming was helpless, his mind raced, and then he pretended he hadn't figured out anything, reporting as usual, "A lot of people in the circle have been paying attention to Wu Mu and Yang Rongfa's project recently." "Wu Mu is really confused. He thought that he could invest and become his own boss just because he is good at singing and variety shows. He is going to lose a lot this time." (End of this chapter)
