Chapter 531: "Thai Embarrassment" is released
December 1st.
The chairman's office of Light and Shadow Pictures.
Early in the morning, Lin Xiaoguang made an appointment to meet Xu Zheng, who had just returned from Shanghai.
After Xu Zheng came in, his butt was still hot, so he couldn't wait to ask: "How about Xiaoguang, has my investment in that movie been completed?"
Lin Xiaoguang shook his head and said faintly: "Not yet, Lao Xu, only 25 million has been raised so far." ”
Xu Zheng thought about it in his heart, and said: "That's still a gap of 15 million." ”
Lin Xiaoguang pretended to be light and said: "It's okay, Lao Xu, let's not worry, I will help you find a way for the remaining 15 million." ”
Although Lin Xiaoguang said so, Xu Zheng can fully understand Lin Xiaoguang's difficulties, after all, he is a rookie film director, and not many companies are willing to throw money on him.
And the light and shadow company has only been open for a year, and the only movie produced by the company has not yet been released, purely relying on the two actresses Cheng Yanxi and Zhao Liying, there is no way to support the expenditure of such a large company.
In addition, Xu Zheng himself has high hopes for the hypnotic master, and he definitely doesn't want anything to go wrong in the preparation of this movie.
In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Xu Zheng immediately said: "Xiaoguang, if this is not the case, I will pull an investment of 10 million, and you will handle the remaining 5 million." ”
Lin Xiaoguang waved his hand and said: "Don't be old Xu, our Thai embarrassment will be released in a few days, how can you have time to find someone to attract investment now?"
Without waiting for Xu Zheng to answer, Lin Xiaoguang continued: "You should rest assured to publicize, I will help you solve the money matter." ”
Xu Zheng said, "It's okay Xiaoguang, I'll call and ask, if you really don't have it, I'll hand over this important task to you." ”
Hearing Xu Zheng say this, Lin Xiaoguang sighed: "Okay, you take a look at the situation first, if not, don't follow and delay your efforts." ”
"I know. ”
With that, Xu Zheng went out with the phone and closed the door casually.
It was almost half an hour.
Xu Zheng pushed open the door, returned triumphantly with a triumphant smile, and made an OK gesture to Lin Xiaoguang: "It's done!"
Lin Xiaoguang smiled and asked with interest, "How much?"
Xu Zheng said: "8 million! There are still 2 million left, I will cover it myself." ”
"Yes, Lao Xu, which big guy is so rich that he is willing to give 8 million to you, the rookie director?"
"One of my younger sisters, named Cheng Zhixi, is a film and television producer. ”
Lin Xiaoguang asked with a surprised face, "Cheng Zhixi?"
Xu Zheng said angrily: "Nonsense, could it be that your sister is a man?"
Lin Xiaoguang smiled and quipped: "Don't be excited, I don't have a sister, I'm just curious, when did you have a producer's sister, why haven't I heard you say it before? It won't be a rich woman who supports you, right?
Xu Zheng said categorically: "Of course not, she is a rich second generation, and she is very beautiful." ”
Lin Xiaoguang said disappreciatively: "The rich second generation, you are very beautiful, and you are white, rich, and beautiful?"
"Don't believe it, don't tell you, my sister is indeed a serious Bai Fumei, her family conditions are very good, but don't be prejudiced against the rich second generation, she is a particularly healthy, upward rich second generation. ”
Looking at Xu Zheng's thoughtful expression, Lin Xiaoguang said disapprovingly: "I don't believe it, if she really looks so beautiful? What kind of producer is she, wouldn't it be a waste of money to be a star herself!"
Xu Zheng joked with a smile: "It's not because in our circle, there are too many directors like you who like unspoken rules." ”
Lin Xiaoguang wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, it seemed that he was almost the kind of person Xu Zheng said.
However, Lin Xiaoguang is not every actress who has worked with him, in fact, from beginning to end, from the beginning of his work as a director to the present, he has only submerged into Yanxi as an actress.
Moreover, Lin Xiaoguang and Cheng Yanxi are not the unspoken rules in the traditional sense, it is purely after the talented women look at each other that the latter things happen.
Besides, can it be considered a potential if there is a spark between a handsome director and an actress?
Of course not, only ugly female directors like Feng Xiaogang and Gu Changwei can be considered potential.
"Actually, my sister was also an actress at the beginning, but later because she hated the unspoken rules, her family told her, then let's invest tens of millions of dollars for you to act, and create your own "rules". ”
But she doesn't want to, she wants to be a producer to create wealth, not to use her family's money to go out and post it for her own popularity. That's why she will participate in this hypnotic master's investment. ”
It turned out that Xu Zheng and Cheng Zhixi met in 2008 when they were filming Ouchi Low Hand, and they made a joke with each other at that time, Cheng Zhixi said that Xu Zheng was suitable to be a director, and Xu Zheng said that Chen Zhixi was suitable to be a producer, and I didn't want the two to really enter the role this time.
In fact, judging from the producer's appearance alone, Cheng Zhixi looks okay, and it's a pity not to be an actor.
Of course, about Cheng Zhixi's appearance, it is not as evil as Xu Zheng said, she is a middle-to-upper Northeast girl.
The reason why Cheng Zhixi gave up acting was also because he couldn't stand the "unspoken rules".
In addition, Cheng Zhixi, formerly known as Cheng Xi, starred in the drama of the Empty House and the Princess of the World, and also sang the theme song for the movie I am willing to fill in the lyrics for the movie starring Li Bingbing and Sun Honglei.
In fact, as an actor, if you are stuck in the middle line for a long time, or wander in the middle and high-end, it is very hard.
Because everyone in this circle wants to be popular, and a large part of the people who have the resources are taking advantage of the unspoken rules.
In the three years since she turned producer, Cheng has produced four films and several TV series, including pretending to be a couple, during which she also played the role of an investor.
This time, Cheng Zhixi participated in the investment in the hypnotist directed by Xu Zheng, on the one hand, he believed in Xu Zheng's directing ability, and on the other hand, he was optimistic about Lin Xiaoguang as the producer of this film.
This was followed by a promotional campaign before the release of the film, from online to offline.
Airport test screenings were also held in more than 10 large and medium-sized cities in China, and the invited audiences were managers of domestic cinemas, as well as filmmakers, and a few lucky audiences.
A week before the release, the three actors in the crew, Xu Zheng, Huang Baoqiang, and Huang Bo, also joined forces on Mango Channel's Tiantian Upward.
December 17th.
Directed by Lin Xiaoguang and produced by Light and Shadow Pictures, the film Thailand Embarrassing Co., Ltd., starring Xu Zheng, Huang Baoqiang, Huang Bo and Li Xiaoran, held its premiere in Shaojing.
The red carpet before the start of the event was star-studded, and Lin Xiaoguang and Li Xiaoran, a couple, showed their affection in public for the first time, killing the reporters on the scene in seconds.
In addition to several main creators, the stars who participated in the red carpet also included Liu Qianqian, Cheng Yanxi, Zhao Liying, Yin Xiaotian, Tao Hong, etc., all of whom expressed great expectations for Thailand.
