There are clear hierarchies in the entertainment industry, and even the photo position and press release ranking are all kinds of competition.

There has been such a joke circulating in the circle, "When promoting, Zhou Xu's team hopes that his name will be the first in the draft, Zhao Yanzi said that his name cannot be behind Zhou Xu, and Cheng Kun's team's attitude is that his name can be behind Zhou Xu, but not behind Zhao Yanzi." ”

How did the propagandists survive?

However, on today's occasion, all celebrities have to step back, and Lu Lin is the only protagonist. The people who sat at the same table with him were also bigwigs in the circle.

At his table, there are Han Shanping, Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, and Ye Ning. and Zhang Zhao of Leshi, Li Ming of Xiaoma Pentium, Cao Huayi of Xinli Media, general manager of CTI Film and Television, and Zhao Yifang, "Queen of TV Dramas".

Every person at this table is a well-known person in the film and television industry, and if he is worth a little bit of status, he will probably feel awkward when he goes to the table.

Before the celebration banquet began, as usual, he had to go on stage to say a few words, and Lu Lin didn't talk nonsense, announced the start of eating after a few words of thanks, and immediately stepped down from the stage and entered the table.

Except for Lu Lin at this table, the age is basically above forty years old, except for Zhao Yifang drinking juice, the rest of the cups are Moutai. Everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and the atmosphere was not lively.

In terms of topics, it is indispensable to talk about "Houyi Shooting Sun", which is still popular in China and is about to land in mainstream theaters in Europe and the United States.

When talking about these, Yu Dong and Wang Changtian are like a pair of cross talk actors, mainly listening to Yu Dong talk about the release in North America, and Wang Changtian occasionally adds two sentences.

"Warner is so lively, did you mention the box office expectations?" asked Zhang Zhao, who was the co-founder and president of Glossy. But on the eve of the glamorous listing in 2011, he suddenly left his job and went to found Leshi Pictures.

Yu Dong said with a smile: "Yes, they have an NRG company over there, and they will release a "competitive positioning" report to major companies every Saturday, and "Hou Yi Shooting Day" has been included in the report, and the above prediction for the film is 300 million US dollars. ”

The exclamation sounded inadvertently, and few of you at the table were not shocked by the figure of 300 million US dollars, although the domestic box office also broke through this number, but the meaning was different. It is the world's No. 1 film market, and it is Hollywood, which exports movies to the world!

The record of more than 50 million in "Hero" has been proud for many years, and it is finally possible to break it!

After pushing the glass and changing the glass, after the wine was hot, he had to ask Lu Lin about his new film plan. Although there are expectations in the hearts of those present, what can be heard is the word "wolf warrior" that has been circulated in the market.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a moment, and I don't know how many people sighed in their hearts, because Mao is not "Lich Wars", what about the "Flood Universe"!

Regarding the investment in "Wolf Warrior", Yu Dong and Wang Changtian have both asked, and there is nothing to say about paying money. Although there are some worries, no one dares to get off the car of "Longlin Pictures", what if it can't get on!

As for others, it's not so easy to get on the bus, unless there is a resource to replace it. Otherwise, Lu Lin will never easily let go and let irrelevant people participate in the investment. The so-called "business is business, friendship is friendship!" Not to mention that he can't talk about friendship with half of the people at this table!

"I think this kind of film is good, but our domestic film market lacks this genre, Director Lu, why don't we invest some money in Leshi, and let's do this together?" Zhang Zhao said with a smile.

Lu Lin glanced at Wang Changtian and saw that the eldest elder Wang's face was flat, and he just took a sip of the mineral water in the bottle. Only then did he smile: "Xie Zhang is always kind, but my investment in this piece is not big, and a few companies will come out as soon as they get together, and there is really not much shortage of funds." Thanks, thanks!"

Zhang Zhao's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he subconsciously glanced at Wang Changtian before he smiled: "It's okay, then there is a chance, and the two of us will cooperate again." ”

Regarding Zhang Zhao's departure on the eve of the glamorous listing, Da Lao Wang has never expressed his opinion in public. However, Zhang Zhao has responded several times, although the details are different each time, but the theme can be summarized into one, he is very worried, and feels that Internet capital will dominate the film and television industry in the future, and then he chose Leshi with Internet attributes.

But there is also media analysis, mainly poor money. Because his stake in the glamorous is too low.

Wang Changtian is well-known in the industry for his careful budgeting, and his bright salary is not very high, although the company is developing well, there are definitely many employees who have left.

However, Lu Lin was too lazy to pay attention to these "grievances", and the reason why he refused was because he felt that there was no need to introduce more capital. When several other bigwigs saw this, it was not good to mention investment again.

Banquets and banquets are indispensable for toasting each other. After eating for a while, people from other tables came over, and some always said that they were not bad for money and wanted to invest in Lu Lin's new film. Some people also said that they had a script and wanted to ask Lu Lin to be the director, and they were willing to spend a lot of money.

Lu Lin is paid as a director, because the film is not an investment by Longlin Pictures, and this fee is included in the production cost.

Speaking of the director's salary, the mainland's "golden signboard" is Zhang Yimu, when he filmed "Hero" in 02, the salary was 10 million, more than many celebrities. After the 08 Olympics, the salary rose to 20 million.

As for Director Feng, most of them are in the form of account sharing, and generally the income of each movie will not be less than 10 million. The rest of Jiang Wen, Xu Ke, Chen Kaige, etc., most of the salaries are above 10 million.

"Director Lu, Director Lu, listen to me, as long as you are willing to be this director, how about 20 million!" A cross-border tyrant and a new boss in the film and television industry stopped Lu Lin, who had just come out of the bathroom, and actually wanted Lu Lin to film and praise his confidante.

"I'm sorry, my schedule is full, I really don't have time, sorry!"

"Hey, Director Lu, listen to me, it won't delay you too much, youth, love, funny themes, and the scenes are simple, I estimate that you can shoot it in a month!"

Lu Linpo smiled helplessly, "I only shoot special effects and action blockbusters, and the current investment starts at 200 million, youth, love, and funny genres, I'm really not good at it, or I'll recommend one for you!"

The one looked entangled, "That's it, but the one in my family said that he only accepts billion-level dramas, and the current domestic director, with his fingers counted, is that Director Lu can reach this level, or let's discuss it again!"

Lu Lin smiled a little bitterly, he really didn't know how to comment on such a person, but he was still very self-contained: "Oh, this billion box office is not small, even if I don't dare to say that it is stable over one billion every time I film." For example, this time, the "Wolf Warrior" I am going to shoot will probably not reach one billion!"

The one agreed: "Yes, your subject matter is not pleasing and there is no market, otherwise I will definitely invest hundreds of millions in you." If you want me to say, you should still consider us, or 30 million director fees!"
