Chapter 791 Contract Finalization
Li Muzhi repeated the talent show method that Wang Meng had taught him. First there were nationwide auditions, and then the registration form was printed in the newspaper. Only by cutting out the registration form from the newspaper and filling it out could one register.
Moreover, each registration form has a number, and will be immediately invalidated if any forgery is discovered.
In addition, as long as they pass the audition, the 20 heroines who finally enter the final can only accept an exclusive interview with the "Women and Children" newspaper. By then, won't those star-chasing men and women rush to buy them?
The highlight is yet to come. Who will play the leading female role in the end will not only pass the evaluation of the independent column expert group, but also have to pass the national voting.
There is only one voting ticket in each newspaper. If you want to cheer for your idol, buy the newspaper!
"President Zhou, now you know why I said that even the center seam of your newspaper will be incredibly expensive from now on, right?"
Zhou Guiying's eyes were filled with longing, and she felt that the grand scene of "paper is in great demand in Luoyang" was right before her eyes. But she was also a little worried...
"Director Li, the premise for our newspaper to be popular is that this movie sells well, or it has to have enough influence, otherwise I'm afraid no one will be interested!"
“Haha, our chief of staff has thought about this. With the endorsement of the Independent Column, we will reserve 50% of the seats. There will be no less than 30,000 screenings in major cities across the country before the end of next year!
Just think about the overwhelming publicity, which is guaranteed to make an ordinary person a big star, and will also give out 5% of the box office revenue as a reward to the main actors!"
Zhou Guiying was completely convinced. The Welfare Column had the popular Pingshun Daily and Pingshun Radio Station, which were among the best platforms in the country. Who could create hype for the movie? Was there any fear that it wouldn't become a hit?
"Director Li, this good thing has fallen on our small newspaper?"
"Well, it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Although your circulation is not high, your significance is very important, so the Chief of Staff chose you!"
Zhou Guiying showed an expression of gratitude, as if duckweed had taken root.
"Director Li, what should we do?"
“I will bring the contract here. If there is no problem, just sign it. Pingshun Daily and Pingshun Radio will broadcast it nationwide immediately.
In addition, if possible, find a senior central government official who is sympathetic to the cause of women and children to endorse the film and increase its visibility.”
Zhou Guiying thought about it and found a candidate, that is Li Zongren, the "democratic general" that Wang Meng and Li Muzhi had always dreamed of.
"Okay, I'll go find General Li Zongren. He donated money to our newspaper before. If we just want them to write an inscription for us or speak for us, there shouldn't be any problem."
A barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of Li Muzhi's mouth. He originally thought that the magazine would have to pave the way again before it could get to know Li Zongren, but he didn't expect that they actually had a ready-made relationship.
But was it Li Zongren who donated to the newspaper just to gain fame, or was it out of his genuine support for the cause of women and children, or was there some connection between him and Zhou Guiying, a woman of extraordinary temperament?
You know, it is not easy to establish a progressive newspaper in Chongqing, where public opinion is strictly controlled.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, President Zhou. I'll give you the contract. Do you want me to pick it up after you sign it, or do you want someone to deliver it to you?"
Zhou Guiying took the contract with trembling hands. Although it was a little unbelievable, she felt that this huge fortune had indeed fallen on her head.
"No, I'll sign it right away!"
She read through them one by one, and after confirming that there were no problems, she immediately signed her name.
Zhou Guiying handed one of the contracts to Li Muzhi, then took a long breath and rubbed the contract repeatedly.
"I'll need Director Li's continued care in the future!"
"No, no, let's cooperate with each other! The propaganda power of our independent column in Chongqing is still relatively weak, so President Zhou, please take care of some publicity matters for the movie in the future!
In addition, if you have contacted General Li Zongren, it would be best to consult with us before the publicity to avoid any unexpected situations."
After Li Muzhi finished speaking, he left the small courtyard, leaving Li Muzhi looking into the distance, seemingly with something on his mind.
In the villa on the hillside, Wang Meng was happily eating Chongqing noodles, which were so spicy that he was sweating profusely. Seeing Li Muzhi coming in, he invited him to eat with him.
"Muzhi, come and sit down! I have prepared two bowls of Chongqing noodles for each person, and it just happened that you caught up with them. Come on!"
Li Muzhi did not refuse. He sat down directly, rolled up his sleeves, and started eating without any hesitation.
The two of them were crying and snotting while eating. They clearly couldn't eat spicy food, but they still ate so happily. They are really both good at eating and love to play.
They wiped their faces with towels and drank two bowls of ice jelly before touching their swollen mouths and stopping.
"Muzhi, how was the talk? There shouldn't be any problems, right?"
"Well, there is a surprise."
"Oh? Tell me about it?"
"President Zhou Guiying of Women and Children's Newspaper already knew Li Zongren, but I don't know how close they were. He looks very confident, so he must be very close to him. Next, we just need to find opportunities and provide him with some opportunities. I'm afraid he will take advantage of the situation to cause trouble."
Wang Meng nodded, thoughtfully.
"Well, Li Zongren has been in the political arena for many years, so he will definitely guess our intentions. But he will definitely want to use our pressure to gain some political capital for himself.
We must keep our distance from this person. We can make concessions on unimportant matters, but once the core interests of the Independent Column are involved, we must not give in even a little bit!"
Li Muzhi nodded. In the political arena, everyone was just using each other, so there was no need to be open with him.
"Chief of Staff, how long do you plan to stay in Chongqing this time?"
"What's the matter? Are you going to chase me away?"
Li Muzhi stood up quickly. How could he dare to chase away his immediate boss?
"How can that be possible? I want you to support us in Chongqing after we have started promoting the film nationwide!"
"Haha, you're smart, I'll assign you a consultant from Pingshun, and then you can work together to make it a big hit!"
"Chief of Staff, although we have a general plot idea for our movie, we haven't yet decided on the script, the name of the movie, or the production studio. Isn't it a bit hasty to start promoting it now?"
"As for the script, let the consultant write it himself, and then find a few masters to look at it and collect opinions. Let's also put the name in the newspaper and let everyone vote, or hold a contest with prizes, and then we will prepare the production studio ourselves, and call it Pingshun Film Studio!"
Wang Meng just moved his mouth and opened up a new future for Pingshun movies...
