Chapter 443
In fact, Lin Xiao guessed correctly, Fan Wencheng had long known about Chen Mu and Yang Hao's situation.
It is no secret that Chen Mu took over the news of "The Outside Bureau", but Yang Hao is different.
The reason why Fan Wencheng knew that Yang Hao did not have a schedule to take "Infernal Affairs" was because Yang Hao had invited him before for the "Crime Maze", but he finally chose Yang Hao.
Although there are many directors in Huaguo, there are not only Chen Mu, Yang Hao and him who are good at shooting police and gangster films, but the three of them are really the ones who can be regarded as the first-line police and gangster film directors.
Especially in the film "Infernal Affairs", the script is certainly a good script, but the better the script, sometimes the higher the requirements for the director, Fan Wencheng is indeed fearless.
Because at the moment, only he is the most suitable, so he will open his mouth.
He believed that as long as Lin Xiao didn't want to mess up "Infernal Affairs", then he would be the best choice and the last choice, unless Lin Xiao was willing to wait another half a year.
At the same time, at Yang Hao's house, he repeatedly read the script of "Infernal Affairs", and the longer he watched it, the more pity he felt in his heart, but it was a pity that he had already taken "Crime Fandom", and he couldn't finish filming it in more than half a year, and obviously, Ling Xiao Pavilion couldn't wait so long.
Sighing, although Yang Hao was reluctant, he could only accept this fact.
After all, he has already taken "The Capital of Sin", and it is impossible for him to change his mind temporarily, and it is impossible for the investor to allow himself to do so.
Just thinking of this film, it may be messed up in the end because there is no good director, Yang Hao feels a little distressed in his heart.
For this script, when Yang Hao first received it, he couldn't put it down and read it repeatedly, and every time he read it, he liked it more and more.
In particular, a sentence in this script shocked his heart.
In his opinion, this film is different from any police film he has made before, and even this is already a film that seems to be a police and bandit, but it is beyond the concept of police and bandits.
If it comes to him, he is very confident that he will be able to make a masterpiece of his own, but it's a pity......
......
"Do you really want to give up these three directors?" Lin Xiao was a little unwilling.
"Or do you mean, wait for half a year?" Lin Xiao then shook his head again, half a year, it's not that you can't wait, it's just that this is the most helpless way.
"By the way, do you know what kind of film Yang Hao received? Which company invested in it?" Lin Xiao asked.
"The main investors of "Crime and Mystery City" are ECCOM Pictures and Tianhua Pictures. Xiao Jie replied immediately.
"ECCOM Pictures and Tianhua Pictures?" Lin Xiao repeated, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Yao Ding.
"Mr. Yao, hello, I'm Lin Xiao, I don't know if Mr. Yao has time, I have something to do, I want to meet and talk to Mr. Yao. Lin Xiao went straight to the point.
"Lin always has something, even if you don't have time, you have to squeeze out time, haha. Yao Ding was very enthusiastic and authentic.
For Yao Ding, the most outstanding performance he can make when he becomes the owner of Tianhua Pictures is the two films he cooperated with Ling Xiao Pavilion, and Yao Ding is very optimistic about Lin Xiao, a demonic character, and now, Tianhua has successfully become one of the shareholders of Ling Xiao Pavilion, and he can be regarded as his own person, so Yao Ding is naturally very polite to Lin Xiao.
After making an appointment with Yao Ding to meet at a time and place, Lin Xiao hung up the phone.
"Do you want Yao Ding to help?" Xiao Jie also asked with a light in his eyes.
"Well, since "Crime Fandom" is a project in which Tianhua Pictures participates in the main investment, then I think maybe things will take a turn for the better. Lin Xiao nodded and said.
"If it's just Tianhua's family, with the relationship between our two families, maybe it's not a problem, but don't forget, there is still ECCOM Pictures here, and I'm afraid this matter will not be easy to solve." Xiao Jie is not as optimistic as Lin Xiao.
"It's up to people! If you don't try, you won't know. Lin Xiao said with a smile.
......
"Mr. Yao, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule for me to meet with me. Lin Xiao said with a smile.
"Mr. Lin is polite, how can we say that we Tianhua are also shareholders of Lingxiao Pavilion, and we have cooperated very happily, can there be anything more important than meeting Mr. Lin?" Yao Ding said with a smile.
"Then I'll get straight to the point, Mr. Yao should know about the new film project "Infernal Affairs" that we are preparing recently, right?" Lin Xiao asked.
"I don't think there's anyone in the circle who doesn't know, right? Ling Xiao Pavilion's new project, there are a lot of people staring at it, could it be that "Infernal Affairs" has encountered some problems, right? Or is it a lack of investment?" Yao Ding's first sentence was not a polite remark, but the latter sentence was a joke.
Others don't know about the situation in Ling Xiao Pavilion, can he still not know?
Ling Xiao Pavilion can now say that there is no shortage of funds.
You must know that Ling Xiao Pavilion has just won a huge amount of financing, and there will be no shortage of funds if it lacks anything.
Originally, the project of "Infernal Affairs", whether it was Tianhua or Ahri, they were interested in investing, but they also knew that Ling Xiao Pavilion was not short of money now, and Ling Xiao Pavilion's investment originally included a part of their share, so they did not force it.
"There was really a problem. Lin Xiao nodded and said.
"How can I help?" Yao Ding asked suspiciously.
"The film "Infernal Affairs", if you want to shoot it well, there is still a lack of a director who can carry the crown, but the problem is here, the three major directors in Huaguo who are good at police and gangster films, Chen Mu has already taken over Xuanhuang Film and Television's "Outsider", Fan Wencheng offered a sky-high salary that we couldn't accept, so in the end, only Director Yang Hao remained, but Director Yang Hao just took over the "Crime Addiction" jointly invested by Tianhua and ECCOM......" Lin Xiao said this and glanced at Yao Ding.
As soon as Yao Ding heard it, he knew what Lin Xiao was looking for himself.
"It seems that Mr. Lin's candidate is Yang Hao?" asked Yao Ding.
Lin Xiao nodded and said, "At present, he is the most suitable candidate." He himself likes the script of "Infernal Affairs", but there is no way, he can only wait for half a year to ask him to direct. ”
"So, does Mr. Lin hope that we can give Yang Hao to Infernal Affairs?" asked Yao Ding.
"Not bad!" Lin Xiao nodded.
"It's not easy to do!" Yao Ding's brows furrowed suddenly.
"If "Crime Fans" is an independent investment by Tianhua, then I can still coordinate it, but the key is that "Crime Fans" also has the investment of ECCOM Pictures, so it is difficult to do. Yao Ding was embarrassed.
"Twenty percent of the investment share of Infernal Affairs!" Lin Xiao said with a smile as he looked at Yao Ding.
"It's still a little difficult to do, it's no problem on my side, but ECCOM ......" Yao Ding shook his head.
Lin Xiao was silent for a while, but his heart was very bright, obviously Yao Ding was tempted, so he was just bargaining.
"Thirty percent! If it doesn't work, then I'll have to change people or wait for half a year. Lin Xiao gave the final bottom line.
