Chapter 300: Yu Feihong's friend

After less than an hour, Yu Feihong arrived, this is not the first time she has been to the office of Bai Xiang's studio, she has been here many times before, and she also knows a lot of staff here.

"Sister Yu, I haven't seen her for a while, and my sister is getting more and more beautiful. Zhou Bai hugged Yu Feihong and said with a smile.

"Don't make fun of me, you have my sister in your heart, and you came back to me once for more than a month. Yu Feihong patted him angrily, blaming him for not meeting her a few more times.

During the period when he came back from filming "Painless Love", Zhou Bai did only meet Yu Feihong once, asked her to have a meal, and then did not meet again, which is strange to say, even if the number of meetings is small, but the feeling is still the same.

"My fault, my fault, really shouldn't be. Zhou Bai hurriedly raised his hand in surrender and said with a smile on his face.

"Forget it, let you go, let's say exactly, this is my friend Li Yang, a director, this is Li Yixiang, an actor, all of whom I know Nortel. Yu Feihong said with a smile, and then introduced Zhou Bai to the two people behind her.

"Hello Director Li Yang, I'm Zhou Bai. Zhou Bai hurriedly stretched out his hand.

"Hello, long admiration of the daimyo. Li Yang stretched out his hand to shake Zhou Bai, he had an elegant temperament, a pair of eyes that impressed people very deeply, very calm, and quite a kind of temperament that Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without being surprised.

"Hello Brother Li Yixiang, I'm Zhou Bai, it's a pleasure to meet you. After Zhou Bai shook hands with Li Yang, he reached out again and shook hands with the person next to him.

"Hello Zhou Bai, your movie is great, I have watched it many times. Li Yixiang was a little restrained, and shook hands with Zhou Bai.

"Let's talk again in the conference room?" Zhou Bai proposed after greeting.

"Yes. Yu Feihong and Li Yang looked at each other and had no opinions.

Zhou Bai brought Yu Feihong and his party to the conference room, he also has a small office, but it is a bit crowded when used to entertain people, so it is better to go to the conference room to talk about things.

"Has Director Li Yang ever entered Mandarin before?" asked Zhou Bai as he walked.

"Yes, I stayed there, and then I was admitted to the directing department of the Broadcasting Academy, and then I went to Germany. Li Yang nodded and said.

"I heard our leader mention you, and he thinks it's a pity for you to quit. I'm attached to Mandarin now, if I wasn't allowed, I think I would have to quit, I have a lot of things to do, but there are fewer Mandarin dramas. Zhou Bai explained that he had heard of Li Yang's fame before.

"That was many years ago, and when I think about it now, I miss it a lot. Li Yang said that he entered the Mandarin in 78 years, and he is in his forties when he talks about his age, and he belongs to the older kind of directors in the sixth generation.

"Sister Yu, how did you meet Director Li Yang?" asked Zhou Bai curiously.

"Didn't I learn directing things, Li Yang has some connections with Nortel, he still has acquaintances there, and he has also taught us, so he is half of my teacher. Yu Feihong said with a smile.

A few people chatted and were not in a hurry to talk about things, and Xiaocao went out after serving a few people tea, and closed the door of the conference room after going out.

"Sister Yu, what you said on the phone is about investing in movies, is it related to Director Li Yang?" Zhou Bai asked at this time, Yu Feihong didn't reveal much information on the phone, it seems that it should be Li Yang's movie.

"Yes, your studios all produce their own movies, recently Li Yang has a movie that he wants to start, he is very nervous about funds, and he uses his own money, I also talked to him to find out, isn't this thinking of you. Yu Feihong said.

"We've always had the intention of investing in movies, but I haven't had any good books recently, and almost all of my money was invested in "Fifty Times of First Love", and I don't have the spare energy to invest in other projects, but there are really not many scripts that can be invested in but can interest me. Zhou Bai said with a wry smile.

used to invest in films such as "Xiao Wu", "Suzhou River", and "That Mountain, That Man and That Dog", and he was able to afford to invest because the production cost of these movies themselves was not large, and then he decided to shoot "Fifty First Loves", and almost all the funds of the studio were exhausted, and it was impossible to invest.

"Aren't I here to fight local tyrants, "Fifty Times of First Love" has made so much money, you always need to find a suitable project to put in, I have read Li Yang's movie script this time, it is very shocking, as long as it can be shot smoothly, it is definitely a good movie. Yu Feihong laughed, and finally said with a straight face.

"Mr. Zhou, I want to ask first, if you invest in movies, will you interfere in the filming of movies?" Li Yang said suddenly, a little abruptly.

"This is really not the case, I used to invest in movies after reading the script and then I didn't care, the only requirement is that the director can't deviate from the script no matter what the shooting technique is, as long as I shoot according to the script, I won't interfere. Zhou Bai glanced at Li Yang, and then said.

Yu Feihong pulled Li Yang's sleeve covertly, telling him not to be so anxious, after all, Zhou Bai has a good relationship with her, no matter whether she can cooperate or not, it is best to talk about it first, if you can't talk about it, forget it, it will not be worth it to affect everyone's feelings for this.

Li Yang's original worries fell half, he was actually very reluctant to find funds from the outside, because he was very afraid that investors would interfere in the filming of the film, this kind of creative freedom was absolutely unacceptable, and at present, Zhou Bai's words made him half relieved.

"Actually, I brought Li Yang here this time, one reason is that you have a precedent for investing in literary films, and the other reason is that Li Yang has paid too much for this, so he almost pressed the house, if you can invest here, it can also relieve his pressure. Yu Feihong sighed and explained the current situation.

Li Yang's original plan for this movie was to use his own money, because he found several investors, but no one was interested, and he couldn't guarantee not to interfere with the shooting, so in the end he was forced to have no choice, he wanted to borrow money from all his friends to make the movie.

This is the dilemma of literary film directors, it is difficult to get investment if they are not famous, especially for people like Li Yang, who do not want others to affect his creative freedom, it is difficult to find suitable investors.

Seriously, investing in literary films is basically a huge risky thing, the difficulty of recovering the cost of literary films is too high, and Li Yang's fame is really not much, he used to shoot TV series in Germany, and when he returned to China, the difficulty of him wanting to get investment can be imagined.

"Actually, you don't have to worry, as long as the script is good, the investment is negotiable. Investing in other people's films, I've never interfered with other people's creations. ”

"Many people want to invest in me without even a serious script, and I ask him to write the script, but the things he gives me are so amateurish that people are speechless, which leads to many movies that I refuse, because I don't know what the story looks like in its entirety, and it is impossible to invest in it. ”

Zhou Bai looked at Li Yang, understood his worries very well, and said some things before, and even Li Yang laughed at this time, because those people obviously regarded Zhou Bai as a fool, so they thought about the white wolf with empty gloves.

"Did you bring the script? Let's not talk about anything else, I'll read the script first, this is no problem, right?" Zhou Bai said.
