Chapter 311: The Lion Opens His Mouth

"What do you think?"

"Interested in investing?"

Xu Zheng has been in this circle for too long, and when he watched Lin Xiaoguang look complacent when he read the script, he knew that this was almost done.

"No problem. Sure enough, Lin Xiaoguang nodded in agreement.

Xu Zheng saw that the matter was done, and said with a smile: "That's it, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, I hope we can cooperate happily." ”

Seeing Xu Zheng get up to leave, Lin Xiaoguang hurriedly stopped him: "Eh, Brother Zheng, you wait...... You're too casually perfunctory, aren't you?"

Xu Zheng sat down again, looked at Lin Xiaoguang, and said calmly: "What other questions?" ”

"I want to know, who else is involved in the investment of this film besides the two of us?"

Xu Zheng said succinctly: "Third master." ”

In this circle, if you don't even know where the "third master" Han Sanping is sacred, then Lin Xiaoguang is really a fool.

There is an old saying in the industry, when Jian Sanye roars, the entire film industry will tremble.

Han Sanping's alias in your circle is called "Sanye", although he takes one of the "three" characters in the name. But to be honored as a master, one is to have great power, and the other is to be the boss of Bole has to be convinced.

When Lin Xiaoguang learned the news that Han Sanping had joined, he felt more confident, and then asked, "How much did the third master have?"

"1 million. ”

Hearing this offer, Lin Xiaoguang breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a lot of money: "How much does the third master give, I, Lin Xiaoguang, have twice as much as him, and I will pay two million." ”

Xu Zheng was a little puzzled, and asked rhetorically: "Xiaoguang, are you not sick? I just read a script, and I am willing to spend two million investments before anyone sees it?" Then if I bring Ning Hao here, do you plan to go bankrupt and smash it on this movie?"

Lin Xiaoguang said with a smile: "Brother Zheng, there are three reasons why I am so refreshing. ”

Xu Zheng asked curiously, "What are the three reasons?" ”

Lin Xiaoguang took a sip of coffee and said unhurriedly: "First, I believe in the third master, China Film Group's ability to distribute films is the first in the industry. Second, I believe in you, I know that you are a rich man with a special business vision and a special understanding of following the trend. Third, I trust my own instincts, this script is great, and if the film is made well, it will definitely not be bad at the box office. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xu Zheng said angrily and funny: "You believe me, why do you believe me?

Lin Xiaoguang said seriously: "Brother Zheng, I can go from a little dragon who doesn't know anything to today's position, and I don't have the ability to read people, do you think it's possible?"

Xu Zheng said faintly: "You are so impulsive, what if the movie loses at that time?"

Lin Xiaoguang said disapprerovingly: "If you lose, you will lose, don't be afraid of losing if you dare to bet, who can guarantee that every movie will be a big hit?"

Xu Zheng looked Lin Xiaoguang up and down, chewed secretly in his heart, and then nodded slowly: "You say that, it seems to make some sense." ”

In other words, Xu Zheng's business vision is not made up by Lin Xiaoguang, as early as when Hengdian was drinking with Yin Xiaotian and Xu Zheng, Xu Zheng once mentioned the past when he brought money into the group in order to play the male number one.

I think that at the beginning, when filming "Spring Splendid Pig Bajie", because the early investors were not optimistic about this nonsensical work, the promised investment was not allowed to be paid.

Without money, the drama could not be filmed, and the crew once faced the situation of "running out of ammunition and food", and the director also spoke to the outside world, and whoever brought in investment would play the leading role.

So, Xu Zheng volunteered to find the director with his savings from acting in dramas before, "I want to play Zhu Bajie, this is all my savings, is it enough?"

Before making this decision, Xu Zheng also read the script carefully, although the plot is relatively 'mentally retarded', but the character of Zhu Bajie is indeed very suitable for him, and the investment in this drama is not much, even if the ratings are bleak, there is not much pressure to recover the cost.

Everyone around him thought he was crazy, but after the TV series was broadcast, the ratings exceeded everyone's expectations, and the dividends shared by Xu Zheng were more than double the salary, and he also became one of the first-line comedians in China.

Of course, these are Lin Xiaoguang's high-sounding scenes, in fact, there is only one reason why he plans to invest in "Crazy Stone", and that is because Lin Xiaoguang knew in his last life what kind of influence this movie would be after its release.

Under normal circumstances, Xu Zheng rarely stops at personal experience, but quickly jumps to business discussions and his thoughts on certain topics.

After about half an hour, Xu Zheng felt that he and Lin Xiaoguang had almost finished chatting, so he stood up and prepared to leave, thought about it, and said, "Oh yes." In two days, I will meet with Ning Hao, you still have to come to participate, and you may have to discuss the cooperation in detail at that time. ”

"Okay, remember to let me know in advance, I'm sure I'll be there. Lin Xiaoguang happily agreed.

Since filming "Happiness Like Flowers", Lin Xiaoguang has set a principle for himself: only the male lead in the TV series.

So recently, he has pushed the roles that seem to pay well but belong to the second male lead.

Because of Lin Xiaoguang, I found that as long as you play the second and third in a play, others will keep asking you to play the second and third roles, and it is difficult to change the past.

Although the roles are no matter how big or small, Lin Xiaoguang feels that only by playing the male lead can others see your ability clearly.

However, some scripts are not very good, or the male lead dramas that I have never heard of, Lin Xiaoguang basically pushed them.

Fortunately, Fei Qi is an agent who cherishes the feathers of actors very much, and if he doesn't come across a script suitable for Lin Xiaoguang or Wang Baoqiang and others, he would rather let them not take the play for a year.

Therefore, Lin Xiaoguang privately respected Fei Qi's meaning very much, and he also planned to tell Fei Qi that Xu Zheng came to him to discuss cooperation.

In the evening, I went to Fei Qi's house, and Lin Xiaoguang talked to him about the investment in the movie "Crazy Stone".

Under Lin Xiaoguang's strong recommendation, Fei Qi patiently read the script of "Crazy Stone", and after reading it, he felt that this script had a strong sense of form, with the flavor of Guy Ritchie, which was a genre that had never appeared in Chinese movies at this time.

Fei Qi sighed: "This Ning Hao has a good observation of the details of life, and can magnify the absurdity of Chinese life to satirize, and it can be seen that he loves this country very much to see these little things." ”

Lin Xiaoguang leaned cross-legged on the sofa and said happily: "Brother Qi, so, do you agree with me to vote for this play?"

Fei Qi nodded slightly, and asked again, "How much production money are you going to invest in him?"

"About 2 million. ”

Fei Qi looked at him with some surprise: "2 million?

Lin Xiaoguang had long expected Fei Qi to say this, and still asked knowingly: "What's wrong, Brother Qi?

Looking at Lin Xiaoguang's newborn calf and not afraid of tigers, Fei Qi couldn't help but get angry, "Of course there is a problem, there is a lot of knowledge here! Do you know what a movie is? You just vote for it! Why don't you say 20 million?"

Lin Xiaoguang corrected: "It's probably between 1 million and 2 million, no more than 2 million, and I can't get out of it no matter how much it is." ”

Fei Qi shook his head and said earnestly: "Xiaoguang, you may not understand the current market situation, let me tell you the truth, now there is only one out of every ten movies in the world that can make money, and the movies that can sell well these years are all big investments, big directors and big productions, a little-known director like Ning Hao, an actor like Guo Tao, a whole small-budget movie, how much box office can be sold? In my opinion, it is a problem that you can't recover the cost." ”

Seeing Lin Xiaoguang's virtue of being a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, Fei Qi, who has always been gentle and elegant, became more and more excited, and even began to swear words in his mouth: "Why do you think they make movies? What they want is the feelings and love for movies, let me tell you! Few people can really make money by making movies, have you ever heard of Jia Zhangke? Isn't it more famous than Ning Hao? The total box office of the film "Little Mountain Comes Home" he filmed is only 13,000, and he is so bad that he almost doesn't even know his mother, why do you even pretend to be a big lion in front of me and open your mouth to invest 2 million!"
