Chapter 266: Go shopping for the crew

"Xu Rongrong is an artist of your Xingyue Media?"

Yang Lin was slightly surprised.

He doesn't usually watch much movies, but he is very familiar with the name Xu Rongrong.

Recently, a romance drama was broadcast on TV, and there was a female number two in it, which was starred by Xu Rongrong. Because the character of the second female is more likable, and Xu Rongrong's acting skills have no major loopholes, many viewers like her.

Don't ask Yang Lin how he knows so much, he can't help it. Who told the two women in the family, one big and one young, to sit on the sofa in the living room every night to chase this drama?

Forget about the investigation, you have to pull him along. So one comes and goes. He also knew Xu Rongrong.

"Not bad. Seeing Yang Lin's expression, Cao Changchun was suddenly a little proud, and said with a smile: "Xu Rongrong was single-handedly pushed up by our company, and she herself is quite hardworking, her acting skills have steadily improved, and she is also beautiful, so it is not surprising that she has today's results." "

Speaking of which. Cao Changchun suddenly said in a low voice: "Yang Shao, you are the nephew of Master Xiong, so I won't see you outside." This drama, I really recommend that you invest in it. We, Xingyue Media, plan to fully promote Xu Rongrong. But whenever she plays the role of the female number one, in terms of production, it is absolutely excellent! Now that the rumors have not been released, you still have time to invest. Wait until a month later, the crew will start filming and publicity, and the copyright share of this movie will be sold soon. When the time comes, I want to invest money, but it's too late. "

Yang Lin's face changed slightly, and he could see that Cao Changchun really wanted to recommend him to invest in this drama.

Frowning and thinking about it, Yang Lin looked at Cao Changchun: "Manager Cao, how much do you suggest I vote?"

Cao Changchun lowered his head and calculated, and said: "The cost budget of this drama is about 20 million, if Yang Shao has enough funds, I suggest that you better invest 7 million to 10 million! No matter how bad it is, it won't make you lose money. "

"Seven million to ten million ......"

Yang Lin groaned, he felt a little too much.

The previous six movies tested the water, and a total of more than 5 million were invested. It's just the price of a Ferrari, which is acceptable.

Now this movie is going to invest 10 million, which is a bit impulsive.

Although he is not bad for money, he still lost 10 million, and he will still be distressed.

He didn't believe that Cao Changchun dared to pit him, but what Cao Changchun said was just his own speculation. Investments are risky, and no one can say for sure whether they will make or lose money. For something like the box office, who dares to pack tickets and say that it will definitely be a big hit?

Cao Changchun saw the hesitation in Yang Lin's heart, and did not urge, but waited quietly on the side.

"When is the filming expected to start, and how long will it take?" Yang Lin suddenly asked.

"If the funds are raised quickly, it will be able to start shooting next month, and campus dramas can basically be filmed in one or two months. Then take it for review and talk about the theater preparation for the release, which adds up to more than three months. Cao Changchun looked at the schedule and said.

Trimester......

Yang Lin nodded, pondering. As far as he knows, box office dividends are generally three months after the release of the movie, plus three months estimated by Cao Changchun. In other words, investing now and waiting until you get dividends is basically half a year later.

Seeing that Yang Lin had not made a decision for a long time, Cao Changchun thought that he had disliked it for too long, so he explained:

"Yang Shao, you have just entered the industry, you may not know much about it, this is already a very fast speed. This is also because the theme is a campus comedy, and you can start filming by renting a school venue. If it's other themes, such as adventure and ancient costumes, it may not be possible to get it done if it takes more than half a year or a whole year to shoot! And if the content of the movie is sensitive and has not been reviewed by the above, it will be even worse! There is no chance of even being released!"

"Of course. Yang Shao, you don't have to worry about making a decision today, let's give the first six small productions today. As for this drama, you have an interest. It's never too late to tell me. What do you think?" Cao Changchun looked at Yang Lin.

"Okay, then I'll think about it first. Yang Lin nodded, he still planned to understand first, after all, the cost was a bit high, and it would be uncomfortable to lose money blindly.

He said, "Oh yes, Manager Cao, can you give me the script of this drama?" "

br />

"No problem. Cao Changchun did not hesitate, "You add me to WeChat." I'll send you the electronic file of the script. "

Next, Yang Lin and Cao Changchun finalized the investment plan for the first six films.

According to the regulations, pay 10 subscription funds first, that is, 560,000 yuan. Wait until the paper contract is officially signed with Xingyue Media, and then the balance will be transferred to the corporate account of Xingyue Media.

After everything was done, Yang Lin was about to say goodbye and leave, when Cao Changchun suddenly smiled and said, "Yang Shao, it's still early." Are you interested, let's go to the crew for a walk?"

Since Yang Lin intends to invest in films, Cao Changchun feels the need to take him to the crew to see and understand. After all, the task given to him by Xiongye was not to let Yang Lin suffer too much loss, he had to let Yang Lin know more about the details of this business.

"Crew?" Yang Lin was stunned, "Is it in your company?"

"No, that's the case," Cao Changchun shook his head and explained: "Our company has a crew of a small-budget film just arrived at Dongling Film and Television City a few days ago, and it should be in the selection of actors and on-site auditions in the past two days. Oh, by the way, that drama just happened to be what you just invested, what is it called...... "Ward 101", is a thriller and suspense drama. How, there is no interest. Let's go and have a look?"

"Okay, let's go and have a look. Yang Lin became interested, nodded and agreed.

The place where the crew selected the actors was located in a large private room, and a piece of paper was pasted outside the door, which read "'Ward 101' crew". In the corridor outside the door, a team of men and women, about 20 people, should be young actors who came to audition.

"Ward 101" is just a small production movie, and the total cost budget is only 1.2 million.

Grow so big, those TV series movies. He has watched a lot on TV and mobile phones, but he has never seen what the crew is like.

Don't look at the director and producer have a lot of power, but in the crew, the biggest voice is still the investor!

The film and television industry is a place to look at qualifications, and at the same time, it is also a place to look at money. Don't look at him so young, but people have money! If you have a good relationship with him, when you need to attract investment in the future, won't there be multiple ways?

It didn't take long for the two to arrive at the Dongling Hotel, not far from Dongling Film and Television City.

Therefore, investors are often nicknamed "gold fathers"!

After all, you can't do anything without money!

Because of the relationship between Dongling Film and Television City, the surrounding area of this area has developed rapidly in recent years, and its prosperity is no less than that of the general city center.

Dongling Film and Television City is located in the eastern suburbs of Jinling, only a few dozen kilometers away from the city center, and is one of the relatively large film and television cities in China. Every year, many popular TV dramas and movies start filming here.

"Hello Yang Shao, I am a producer, and I am also from Xingyue Media, my name is Deng Wei. "

"Come, let me introduce you two," Cao Changchun turned around to introduce Yang Lin, "This is Yang Shao, and he is also the largest investor in your '101 ward' crew!"

"It turned out to be Yang Shao, hello, hello, I have admired the name for a long time! I am the director of the crew, Chen Liang. "

Seeing Cao Changchun present, the director and producer were very polite and stepped forward to shake hands with him.

Yang Lin got into Cao Changchun's car, and more than half an hour later, he came to Dongling Film and Television City.

Anyway, Dongling Film and Television City is not far away, so there is no delay. And it's an actor audition right now. Maybe you can still see beautiful women, so you should take care of your eyes.

Yang Lin personally invested 700,000 yuan, which can be said to be the largest investor well-deserved!

"No, I'm here today to introduce you to the new financier of your crew!" Cao Changchun didn't dare to snub Yang Lin, and introduced Yang Lin as soon as he met with the two.

After entering the door, Yang Lin met the director and producer, both of whom were in their thirties and forties, and the director was thin and tall, with a somewhat serious expression. The producer looks a little blessed.

learned that Yang Lin was the investor of this drama, and the director and producer were very polite to Yang Lin and had a very good attitude.

"New financier, our crew has been invested, what a good thing!" both the producer and the director were very happy.

"Yo, what blow you Manager Cao! Come on, come on, sit down!"
