January 15, 2007.

Feng Xiaowan announced at the set near Shenyang of "Assembly" that all the shots of the film were filmed and the film was officially completed.

All the staff of the crew were excited about this, they had already prepared firecrackers, and as soon as the words of the sealed small tank fell, the sound of firecrackers immediately sounded. Everyone hugged back and forth, shook hands, and cheered.

This scene was originally expected to be filmed in three months, but due to various accidents and circumstances, it was filmed for more than 4 months.

Of course, due to the extension of the filming cycle by dozens of days, it has been rumored that the film's budget of 80 million yuan is not enough at all, in fact, it is indeed a little exceeded, but not too much.

Feng Xiaowan controls this aspect very well, showing the strength of a big director's field control.

Moreover, filming next to Feng Xiaotank, Lin Xiaoguang also learned a lot of things, and he was more eager to start filming his debut film - "People in Embarrassment" immediately.

Three days later.

Capital.

Huayi Brothers, Inc., Office.

Huang Zhonglei sat in the wide boss's chair and was carefully reading a script.

Lin Xiaoguang was crooked opposite, with a cigarette in his mouth, waiting for the second master to speak.

In other words, after Lin Xiaoguang finished filming "Assembly Number", he did not become fluttering, but immediately took time out to polish the script of "People in Embarrassment".

Just yesterday, through the nod and consent of his agent Fei Qi, Lin Xiaoguang couldn't wait to show it to Huang Zhonglei, hoping to get investment and support in his own company.

"Tsk......"

After spending half an hour reading the script, Huang Zhonglei sighed secretly, looked up and asked, "Xiaoguang, is this the script you wrote?"

"Well, when I'm not filming, I write and play!" Lin Xiaoguang nodded modestly.

"You can see it, it's really well written, I didn't expect you to have talent in this area. ”

Huang Zhonglei first gave a positive evaluation, and without waiting for Lin Xiaoguang to be proud, he suddenly changed his words: " Brother, I'm the elder brother, so I won't beat around the bush with you, as a member of Huayi, I believe you know very well that we Huayi have always only made two kinds of films, one is a commercial blockbuster like a small tank, and the other is an art film like Lu Chuan that can win awards, as for a low-cost comedy movie like yours, I really can't give you funds, I can't do anything else with investment, is there anything else difficult, although we Huayi don't invest, but after all, you are your own brother, and Brother Zhonglei, who can help, will definitely help. ”

"Brother Zhonglei, can I borrow Baoqiang to make an envoy when the time comes!" Lin Xiaoguang was not polite, and came as soon as he opened his mouth.

"The male lead?"

"It's a must!" Lin Xiaoguang's eyes widened.

Huang Zhonglei smiled and spread his hands and said: "As long as the tip agrees to release people, then I have no problem, are there anything else?"

Lin Xiaoguang said bluntly: "No, thank you Brother Zhonglei, it's okay, I'll leave first!"

Lin Xiaoguang picked up the script and flashed out the door.

Huang Zhonglei shook his head and approved a few more applications, he had been sitting for a long time, his muscles and bones were tired, so he got up and walked around the desk a few times.

Finally, he stopped in front of the large glass window and looked downstairs into the street in contemplation.

To be honest, Huang Zhonglei likes Lin Xiaoguang's script "People in Embarrassment", but he just likes it.

Huang Zhonglei knows very well in his heart that a low-cost counterattack on a high-box office comedy movie like "Crazy Stone" is only one in a hundred, or even one in a thousand, and may only be encountered in one or two decades.

Besides, it's one thing to love movies, but it's another thing to be able to make money, Huang Zhonglei is the producer of Huayi Brothers, and the purpose of every investment he makes is to help the company make a profit, not to fund an actor without any directing experience to realize his "director's dream" like charity.

Although he was rejected by Huang Zhonglei very simply, Lin Xiaoguang was not discouraged, the so-called Tao is not the same, he sees it very openly, people can't hang themselves on a tree.

So, as soon as Lin Xiaoguang stepped out of Huang Zhonglei's office, he visited Wen Jun's residence in the capital with his right foot.

As soon as Wen Jun picked up the script of "People in Embarrassment", he couldn't put it down.

After reading the script, Wen Jun was very satisfied and asked Lin Xiaoguang bluntly: "How much investment do you plan to make?"

Lin Xiaoguang thought about it and said his capital budget: "It's about 15 million." ”

Wen Jun didn't think about it, so he clapped his hand and said, "Okay, I'll pay 10 million, and you can find another company to handle the remaining 5 million, how about it?"

Hearing this considerable offer, Lin Xiaoguang was very happy in his heart, and after pondering for a moment, he felt that it was feasible, so he nodded and said, "No problem!"

Just when Lin Xiaoguang thought that things were going smoothly and his excitement was about to overflow, Wen Jun's next words were like a basin of cold water poured on his face.

"I have a request, though?"

Lin Xiaoguang said briskly: "If you have any requirements, you can mention them." ”

Wen Jun nodded and said slowly: "Let Ye Weixin direct the movie "People in Embarrassment". ”

"Who is Ye Weimin sacred?"

"A young director in Hong Kong, my protégé. ”

Lin Xiaoguang was stupid, and immediately retorted: "Dong Wen, the theme of "People in Embarrassment" is so mainland, it is about China's Spring Festival, how can a Hong Kong director be allowed to shoot it?"

Wen Jun smiled and comforted him unhurriedly: "Xiaoguang, don't get excited, that's not what you said, you may not know, I have lived in the capital for more than 10 years, it is an authentic old capital, I even know the mainland better than you, a mainlander, and sympathize with the people." ”

It is true that what Wen Jun said is true, he can take a fancy to a movie with a theme like "People in Embarrassment" written by Lin Xiaoguang, and he does have a vision, after all, he has also been a publicity director in Hong Kong for more than ten years, and he still knows whether some movies can sell.

It's just that Wen Jun wants to take Lin Xiaoguang's good script and praise them in Hong Kong, which is a bit not very authentic.

Lin Xiaoguang held back his anger and said without humility or arrogance: "Dong Wen, I'm glad you like my script, but I told you in advance when I first entered the door that this movie must be directed by me, so I can't agree to your request, I'm sorry." ”

Wen Jun was not in a hurry, but persuaded bitterly: "Xiaoguang, I'm sure that besides me, there will be no second person in this circle who is willing to invest 10 million in your movie, I hope you can go back and think about it." ”

Lin Xiaoguang just smiled after hearing this, and then said unconvinced: "Dong Wen, you can't talk too much, this blind cat can still meet a dead mouse! Everything is an exception, who can say for sure?"

Wen Junpi said with a smile: "Yes, then I will wait for good news at home, waiting for your good news." ”

"Okay, let's see!"

Sure enough, after leaving Wen Jun's house, in the next few days, "People in Embarrassment" hit walls everywhere, Lin Xiaoguang wanted a budget of 15 million, all the companies felt that it was too high, and some even cut off three-quarters directly, Wen Jun promised to invest, but never agreed to let Lin Xiaoguang direct this movie, and the two sides could only shoot and break up in the end.

In addition, before this, Lin Xiaoguang also made a phone call to Xu Zheng and asked him if he had read the script of "People in Embarrassment"? Xu Zheng said impatiently at the time, watch it again, I'm very busy, I don't have time, "Love Call Transfer" is about to finish.

As a result, within a few days, Xu Zheng called Lin Xiaoguang in turn and couldn't wait to ask him: "Xiaoguang, what are you doing lately? When will the movie start? I'm ready and ready to join the group at any time." ”

"No need, you can go on your way!" Lin Xiaoguang replied to Xu Zheng with a message, and boarded the international flight from Beijing to Vancouver.
