Chapter 506: A Piece of the Pie

Lin Xiaoguang originally thought that when he left Huayi to set up his own door, he would be troubled by the film's financial problems.

But in fact, in recent years, Lin Xiaoguang has relied on the box office accumulation of four films, "People in Embarrassment", "Those Years", "Love of the Hawthorn Tree", and "33 Days of Broken Love", and has become a film director second only to Feng Xiaowan in terms of domestic box office appeal, and has also become a cash cow in the eyes of capital.

Sure enough, Lin Xiaoguang just released the news on Weibo that he would launch a new movie for the sequel to "People in Embarrassment" - "Thai Embarrassment".

In the following days, the heads of more than ten film and television companies came to the Light and Shadow Group to discuss cooperation with Lin Xiaoguang.

Let's put it this way, as far as Lin Xiaoguang's current status in the film industry is concerned, he said that he wants to shoot the movie "Thai Embarrassment", but it is 50 million funds, even if it is 100 million, there will be a bunch of bigwigs coming to the door to make it up for him!

However, the cake of "Thai Embarrassment" is so big, if everyone comes to get a piece of the pie, then Lin Xiaoguang's Light and Shadow Group can't expect to make a lot of money from it.

What's more, the three major film and television companies, China Film Group, Huayi Brothers, and Guangguang Media, Lin Xiaoguang can't avoid it no matter what.

These three companies also sent representatives to contact the Light and Shadow Group, the representative of China Film Group is Mr. Liu, and the representative of Light Media is the executive president - Li Xiaoping.

is different from a fierce and vicious strong woman like Dong Mingzhu, chairman of Gree, Li Xiaoping, a strong woman, is petite and delicate, and intellectually gentle, and does not look more than 30 years old.

Because it was an old acquaintance, when Li Xiaoping came, Lin Xiaoguang went out to greet him in person.

The petite Li Xiaoping stretched out her hand, raised her head to stare at Lin Xiaoguang, and said with a smile: "Director Lin, let's meet again, ah no, now I should change my name to call you Lin Dong." ”

Lin Xiaoguang also smiled: "You're welcome, Mr. Li, whatever you want to call it, Lin Dao'er and Lin Dong are fine, come, Mr. Li, please inside." ”

Li Xiaoping nodded as she walked: "There is Lao Lin Dong." ”

Subsequently, Lin Xiaoguang and Li Xiaoping communicated in the office for a morning on the details of cooperation.

What Lin Xiaoguang didn't expect was that although Li Xiaoping seemed to be knowledgeable, her speech and demeanor were extremely aggressive, and her speech was also leaky.

According to Li Xiaoping's meaning, when Lin Xiaoguang was preparing to shoot "People in Embarrassment", Guangguang Group was the production company of this film, and the copyright of "People in Awkwardness" belonged to Guangguang Group, not Lin Xiaoguang personally, let alone Lin Xiaoguang's Light and Shadow Group.

Therefore, Wang Changtian of Guangguang Group sent Li Xiaoping out this time in order to get the lion's share with Lin Xiaoguang and strive for at least 25% of the investment share of this film.

How could Lin Xiaoguang agree to such an unreasonable request, he always believed that Guangguang Group, like Huayi Brothers and China Film Group, only accounted for 20% of the investment share at most.

"Mr. Li, let me put it this way, 25% is impossible, my tendency is to give you a 15% share of the Light Group. Lin Xiaoguang deliberately lowered the price at this time, just to give himself room to take a step back when communicating.

Seeing Lin Xiaoguang's resolute attitude, Li Xiaoping's words suddenly changed: "Director Lin, your 15% is really insincere, if I remember correctly, your "Thai Embarrassment", when it was promoted on Weibo, was under the banner of the sequel to our "People in Embarrassment". ”

Lin Xiaoguang glanced at Li Xiaoping in surprise, and looked at him left and right: "Mr. Li, if you don't ask a very polite question, how old are you this year?"

"It doesn't matter, don't ask the age of the woman, that's the rule of Western society, we are Orientals, we don't have to act according to their rules, I'm twenty-eight years old. ”

Lin Xiaoguang looked at Li Xiaoping unabashedly, his gaze was extremely aggressive, and Li Xiaoping met his gaze generously, without the slightest timidity.

She had a soft smile on her face, and a pair of wine swirls appeared on her cheeks.

There was a sudden cold scene in the office, the two of them were silent, just looking at each other quietly, Li Xiaoping sat opposite Lin Xiaoguang, and put her hand on the desk very unintentionally.

Lin Xiaoguang moved forward in understanding, covering his hand over Li Xiaoping's hand, and Li Xiaoping's other hand reacted immediately, and also gently held Lin Xiaoguang's hand.

Li Xiaoping felt that Lin Xiaoguang's hand was very dishonest, and when he was stroking, he was busy gently scratching her palm a few times.

Lin Xiaoguang was busy with his hands, and he didn't have anything to say: "Only twenty-eight years old? ”

Li Xiaoping smiled: "Lin Dong, I really can't figure out, are you praising me or hurting me." ”

Lin Xiaoguang smiled: "I'm just a little curious about you." ”

Li Xiaoping asked suspiciously, "Do you have the habit of studying women?"

Lin Xiaoguang said disapprerovingly: "Is there anything wrong with this?"

Li Xiaoping withdrew her hand, a wisp of blush appeared on her cheeks, but she quickly regained her demeanor: "Lin Dong, I see ...... Let's get back to business, I'm here on behalf of Wang Dong. ”

It was the first time for Lin Xiaoguang to see a woman of Li Xiaoping's status blushing, and he couldn't help but feel a little new and proud in his heart, and then said: "Since Li always comes on behalf of Wang Dong, then I won't beat around the bush, let's take a step back from each other, how about 15%?"

Without waiting for Li Xiaoping to answer, Lin Xiaoguang continued: "Mr. Li, don't underestimate the 15%, I dare to guarantee that except for our Light and Shadow Group, there will be no other company higher than this ratio, whether it is Huayi Brothers or China Film Group." ”

Lin Xiaoguang sighed in embarrassment: "Mr. Li, I have really retreated again and again, if you still can't accept it, then I'm sorry, you can ask someone to shoot the sequel to "People in Embarrassment" by yourself." ”

In fact, Lin Xiaoguang had long considered that the Guangguang Group might bargain with him for the copyright of "People in Embarrassment", so he signed the drama contract between Huang Baoqiang and Xu Zheng early.

Lin Xiaoguang doesn't believe it, without Huang Baoqiang and Xu Zheng, you can shoot a hammer "People in Embarrassment 2".

After Li Xiaoping thought for a while, Fang said: "Lin Dong, I can't make a decision on this matter for the time being, and I have to go back and ask our Wang Dong." ”

After sending Li Xiaoping away, Huang Zhonglei came to the door again.

Over the course of a week, Lin Xiaoguang talked about more than a dozen film and television companies, large and small.

After many exchanges and discussions, in the end, the four production companies accounted for 90% of the investment share of the film "Thai Embarrassment", and the remaining companies only accounted for less than 10% of the total share.

The production companies and investment shares of "Thai Embarrassment" are as follows:

Light and Shadow Pictures Co., Ltd. 30%

Huayi Brothers Film and Television Culture Media Co., Ltd. 20%

China Film Group Culture Co., Ltd. 20%

Light Pictures Limited 20%

There is no doubt that there are a total of 4 production companies of "Thai Embarrassment", not only the Light and Shadow Group.
