Chapter 68: The Pick-up Man

...

Seeing that Fan Bing took the initiative to call him, Jiang Hongfei was a little surprised!

In fact, after selling the script of "Heart Labyrinth" to Fan Bing, Jiang Hongfei has been waiting for Fan Bing to call him.

But what made Jiang Hongfei a little disappointed was that it had been almost two months, and Fan Bing had never called Jiang Hongfei!

Slowly, Jiang Hongfei also forgot about Fan Bing and "Heart Labyrinth" - after all, he had already sold the script of "Heart Labyrinth" to Fan Bing, and whether Fan Bing let himself participate in the production of "Heart Labyrinth" depends on what Fan Bing thinks. Moreover, since then, Jiang Hongfei has also been busy, busy speculating in stocks to make money, busy writing books, busy preparing for the filming of "Love Apartment", busy making albums of himself and Lou Fei, busy falling in love with Lou Fei and Zhao Yu, and has no time to take care of "Heart Labyrinth", which is not under his control.

No, when Jiang Hongfei completely put down Fan Bing and "Heart Labyrinth", Fan Bing took the initiative to find him.

Jiang Hongfei answered the phone and said with a smile: "Why did Sister Bing remember to call me?"

Fan Bing said in a very tired voice: "I'm in the magic capital now, can you come out and meet me?"

Jiang Hongfei listened to it and said: "I am drinking tea at the time I meet you now, the environment here is good, and there is no harassment, why don't you come to me, Sister Bing?"

Fan Bing seemed to ask someone where the "time to meet you" was, and then replied: "I'm not far from you, so I'll go over to find you." ”

Fan Bing was indeed not far from Jiang Hongfei, and in just over ten minutes, Fan Bing arrived at the "time to meet you", and then Jiang Hongfei personally took Fan Bing and her agent Yang Zhen to his private room.

After Fan Bing and Yang Zhen entered the private room, Jiang Hongfei first introduced Dai Xinxin to Fan Bing and Yang Zhen and said: "This is Dai Xinxin, the producer of my new play. ”

Dai Xinxin said a little shyly: "Sister Bing is good." ”

Fan Bing was a little surprised that Dai Xinxin was young and beautiful, and frowned at Dai Xinxin's shyness, she said in her heart: "Can such a delicate little girl be a good producer? Could it be that she is Jiang Hongfei's girlfriend?"

Fan Bing nodded politely to Dai Xinxin.

Jiang Hongfei pointed at Wei Zheng again and said, "I don't need to introduce Wei Zheng, he is now the executive director of my new play." ”

Wei Zheng greeted Fan Bing and Yang Zhen and said, "Sister Bing is good, Sister Zhen is good." ”

Fan Bing nodded at Wei Zheng.

Yang Zhen asked Wei Zheng and said: "Zhengzi, if you have time at night, have a meal together, and then call them to Yuanzi." ”

Wei Zheng said: "Okay, I'll save this game." ”

Jiang Hongfei finally introduced Zhang Changzheng and said: "Zhang Changzheng, my senior brother, the assistant director of my new play. ”

Fan Bing also nodded at Zhang Changzheng, then looked at Jiang Hongfei and asked bluntly, "Are you going to start a new play?"

Jiang Hongfei said: "Well, I'm going to start a TV series and start shooting next month." ”

Fan Bing really didn't expect Jiang Hongfei to pull up the team to shoot film and television dramas by himself so quickly.

Looking Jiang Hongfei up and down, Fan Bing was stunned to find that he hadn't seen him for two months, and Jiang Hongfei was actually more calm and confident.

Fan Bing also found that Jiang Hongfei seemed to be more manly or attractive.

Pity!

Recently, Fan Bing has been in trouble!

Therefore, there was a slight ripple in her heart, and she was pressed by Fan Bing, and she asked straight to the point: "Then can you still take over "Heart Labyrinth" now?"

Jiang Hongfei quickly grasped the key point in Fan Bing's words - "taking over", that is, letting himself be a pick-up man.

Jiang Hongfei asked quietly: "Sister Bing, have you started filming "Heart Labyrinth"?"

It is impossible to hide this kind of thing, so Fan Bing was silent for a while, and then said honestly: "It's already turned on." A month ago, "Heart Labyrinth" was established and entered the preparation stage......"

Listening to Fan Bing talk about the start-up process of "Heart Labyrinth", Jiang Hongfei knew that Fan Bing finally chose not to believe him, and went to someone else to shoot "Heart Labyrinth".

In this regard, Jiang Hongfei can actually understand Fan Bing, his qualifications are too shallow, in this case, no one will believe that he can direct a movie.

In fact, this is an extremely common thing in the film and television industry.

If you are not a well-known rookie director, why should others believe in you, and why should they invest money in you?

Therefore, the possibility of a new director getting investment is almost zero.

The first film of the newcomer director was basically self-raised funds - Jia Zhangke's "Little Mountain Home" in the previous life was the money that Jia Zhangke and his photography team pooled together; Ning Hao's "Incense" smashed all the money he earned from filming commercials; and Li Yang mortgaged his family's house in order to shoot "Blind Mountain".

In fact, it is the same not only in China, but also in the whole world, after all, no investor's money is blown by the wind, how can it be easily handed over to a director who has not proven himself?

And Jiang Hongfei's current situation is not as good as Jia Zhangke, Ning Hao, and Li Yang, when they filmed their first female film, they graduated from a major class and participated in the production of some film and television dramas, Jiang Hongfei just went to college, and his resume is basically equal to zero.

In this case, it is normal not to believe Jiang Hongfei, and it is only when Jiang Hongfei is believed that there is a problem.

With Fan Bing's narration, Jiang Hongfei roughly understood Fan Bing's situation.

It turns out -

After returning to Kyoto, Fan Bing decided to shoot "Heart Labyrinth" by herself after all-round consideration, in order to add a qualification to herself.

So, Fan Bing began to use her own channels to set up a project for "Heart Labyrinth" and began to recruit troops.

What Fan Bing didn't expect was that things went more smoothly than she had imagined before - I heard that Fan Bing was going to make a movie by herself, and many of Fan Bing's friends introduced Fan Bing and even recommended themselves to Mao Sui.

For example, at the beginning of Fan Bing's career, an assistant director who took good care of her called Fan Bing three times and came to Fan Bing in person, saying that he was willing to help Fan Bing direct the movie "Heart Labyrinth" without money (dividends in the future).

For another example, the two "respectable" old-timers in the circle that Fan Bing has worked with heard that the hero and heroine of the movie "Heart Labyrinth" are a middle-aged and elderly couple, so they "condescended" to call Fan Bing, saying that they were willing to serve as the hero and heroine in "Heart Labyrinth".

For another example, a film and television drama shooting equipment supplier that has long-term cooperation with a brother company, heard that Fan Bing was going to open the movie "Heart Labyrinth", and immediately came to the door and said that he was willing to sell Fan Bing a set of the best shooting equipment at a price lower than the market price.

Even, even the big boss of the brother company promised that after the filming of "Heart Labyrinth" was filmed, it could be released through the channels of the brother company.

Things all seemed to be moving in favor of Fan Bing.

Fan Bing, who has no experience, didn't think much about it, and besides, those who came to her had a good relationship with her.

And what Fan Bing has always believed in is that mixing in the entertainment industry is about connections and friendships.

Plus the personality is bold.

Fan Bing waved his hand, and everything that could be used, whether it was a person or a thing, was used.

Suddenly, the crew of "Heart Labyrinth" expanded rapidly, and the lineup was huge.

But slowly, Fan Bing found the problem.

What's the problem?

Fan Bing's money is gone.

Fan Bing clearly remembers that Jiang Hongfei told her that another two or three million is enough to shoot "Heart Labyrinth".

Fan Bing didn't dare to believe what Jiang Hongfei, who had never directed a movie, said, at least he didn't fully believe what Jiang Hongfei said.

In addition, Fan Bing felt that he would either not do it, or if he wanted to do it, he would have to do it well.

Therefore, Fan Bing prepared five million shooting funds.

plus Fan Bing's 1.5 million spent on buying the script.

Fan Bing plans to throw 6.5 million into the movie "Heart Labyrinth".

For a low-cost domestic film, this investment is already a lot.

Fan Bing felt that the money was enough for her to finish filming "Heart Labyrinth".

But what Fan Bing never expected was that as soon as she turned on the machine, her budget was spent!

Fan Bing hurriedly called the finance over and asked, "Why did the money run out so quickly?"

The finance didn't say anything, so he handed over a list of the quantities and prices of the equipment and film that Fan Bing had signed himself.

Fan Bing took it and looked at it, and saw a total number that made her stunned - three million .87 million!
