The topic of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" continues, and there is a lot of noise for the different views of some of the characters in it, but these do not affect Lin Xiao at all.

"Smiling Proud Jianghu" has ended, and Lin Xiao is having a meeting in Lingxiao Pavilion at this time.

This conference is mainly aimed at, new films.

"Chen He, how is it?" Lin Xiao looked at Chen He.

Chen He reluctantly put down the script, hesitated, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This script is too exciting, but, eh, I feel like I can't grasp ......"

Lin Xiao had expected Chen He's reaction, this film is different from the previous "My Sassy Girlfriend" and "Iron Fist of Shame", and the requirements for the director and the acting skills of the actors are more than one grade higher.

After all, Chen He has too little experience in this area, so although he really wants to take this film, he can't harm this good film for his own selfish interests.

"This film is difficult for ordinary directors to control, and I suggest that it is best to find a big director who is good at police and gangster films to shoot it, otherwise, it will be difficult to shoot well!" Chen He said.

Unlike the previous two films, which were low in cost, if this film wants to be made into a high-quality product, the cost will definitely be the largest since the establishment of Ling Xiao Pavilion.

"So what do you suggest for the director?" Lin Xiao looked at Xiao Jie, Feng Zhiyuan and the others and asked.

Feng Zhiyuan is a senior executive found by Lingxiao Pavilion through headhunting, and is currently the vice president of Lingxiao Pavilion Company.

The script Lin Xiao had already sent them to read, and the entire Lingxiao Pavilion attached great importance to this movie, because if the previous two works still had a certain element of cunning and luck, then this script, if it was filmed, would really make Lingxiao Pavilion famous.

"I've been thinking about this after reading the script, and for now, I have three good candidates here. Xiao Jie wasn't worried that his words would stab Chen He, in fact, Chen He didn't care too much, he knew his own ability.

"Which three?" Lin Xiao was still relatively unfamiliar with the director's circle, so he asked with some curiosity.

"Chen Mu, Fan Wencheng, Yang Hao. ”

These three can be said to be the best directors in the entire Chinese film and television circle at present, and the outside world jokingly calls these three the three kings of Chinese police and gangster films. ”

"First of all, Chen Mu, Chen Mu should be a more suitable director, but he probably won't be able to shoot our film. Xiao Jie sighed.

"What?" Lin Xiao was a little puzzled.

"Because he just took over a film "Outside the Bureau" invested by Xuanhuang Film and Television, which is also a police and gangster film, and now it may be about to start filming, he has no schedule!" Xiao Jie shook her head and said.

"What about the other two?" Lin Xiao asked again.

"The other two are not clear at the moment, you can contact them. Xiao Jie said.

"But ......," Xiao Jie stopped talking.

"But what?" Lin Xiao wondered.

"However, these two have a characteristic, the first is that they have very high requirements for the films they receive, one is the script, which I think should be no problem, and there is investment, which is not a problem, the key is that they are very strong, especially Yang Hao, the films he made never gave investors face, he once openly said that as long as it is a film he makes, he has the final say in all the cast. ”

Another Fan Wencheng, although not as strong as Yang Hao, but only relatively speaking, they have the same thing in common, they have to make a decision on the cast of the film, especially the main roles, and they have also had a falling out with investors because of a role. ”

"Is that so? Sure enough, people with ability are also very temperamental, I know what you're worried about, don't worry, I'm confident. Even if it's fair play, I'm confident that I can win this role. ”

"The last point, that is, the salary, the price of inviting them is even higher than the price of hiring an actor......"

"That's no problem, as long as you have the ability, the price is not a problem. Lin Xiao didn't care about this, the other party dared to make an offer, so he naturally had the strength to match it.

......

Fan Wencheng's family, Fan Wencheng, as one of the three major directors of Chinese police and gangster films, has never lacked film appointments, but he has always been more demanding.

Putting down the script in his hand, Fan Wencheng became even more entangled.

There are two scripts on the table at this time, one is written "Infernal Affairs" and the other is written "Marginal Man".

In terms of the quality of the script, it is obvious that Ling Xiao Ge's "Infernal Affairs" is slightly better, and the story of this script is very good, so good that Fan Wencheng is a little unexpected.

The logic is meticulous, the plot is interlocking, and the protagonists and supporting characters are very distinctive, very three-dimensional and full.

is not only the battle of wits and courage between police and bandits, but also mixed with thinking about human nature, the pursuit of good and evil, right and wrong.

After he saw it, he never forgot it.

Another script "Marginal Man" is from Tianxing Film and Television, and this script is also a very good script, although it is worse than "Infernal Affairs", but it is also very good.

The reason why he hesitated was because the negotiations between him and Tianxing about the film "Marginal Man" were almost completed, and Tianxing's sincerity was full, and the salary he gave made it a little difficult for him to refuse.

Let's see when the time comes.

If Ling Xiao Pavilion could also offer the same price as Tianxing, then he naturally hoped to choose "Infernal Affairs".

......

"Lin is much younger than I thought he would have achieved so much, which is really amazing. Fan Wencheng said with admiration.

"Fan Dao praised, let's sit down and talk. Lin Xiao said neither humbly nor arrogantly, now he represents not only the juniors of the entertainment industry, but the boss of Lingxiao Pavilion and the investor of the movie.

"Okay, let's sit down and talk. Fan Wencheng smiled heartily.

"Director Fan, have you read the "Infernal Affairs" that our company handed over to you?" Lin Xiao asked straight to the point.

"Well, I looked. Very well written. Fan Wencheng nodded.

"First of all, I personally like this script very much, but I want to know first, how much do you want to invest in this movie?" asked Fan Wencheng.

"The current investment budget is about 100 million, of course, this is not the final budget, and it depends on the choice of the follow-up creators. Lin Xiao replied seriously.

Fan Wencheng nodded, in fact, he just asked according to the routine, of course he knew that Ling Xiao Pavilion was currently lacking in everything, that is, there was no shortage of funds. Especially in the case of Ling Xiao Ge, where the three giants hold shares, and two popular films have been launched before, there is obviously no need to worry about investment.

"If I am the director, you should know my habits if you think about it, and the actors must all be determined by me!" Fan Wencheng said loudly, this is his momentum and confidence as a great director.

In fact, most of the time, the main actors of a movie are negotiated by the investor and the director, of course, it is reasonable for a big director of Fan Wencheng's level to ask for these powers.
