"Blockbuster!! Lin Chen announced at the celebration banquet of "Happy Ghost" that the next work will be filmed "The Legend of Xianxia"!

"With such dazzling results in "Happy Ghost", Lin Chen did not choose to start the filming of the sequel, but to prepare for the filming of the Xianxia TV series!"

"Lin Chen said at the celebration banquet that he is very optimistic about online literature, and at the same time is ready to make "The Legend of Xianxia" a super IP!"

……

As soon as the celebration banquet ended, the media reported the news that Lin Chen was going to prepare for the filming of the TV series "The Legend of Xianxia"!

Not to mention the discussion of netizens, even the industry is very puzzled by Lin Chen's decision!

With a box office of 500 million yuan for "Happy Ghost", other film and television companies have already started to produce ghost movies, but Lin Chen did not start the sequel to "Happy Ghost", but wanted to shoot "The Legend of Xianxia"!

Everyone is very puzzled by this routine!

Ray Brothers!

Li Junguo poured Lin Chen a cup of tea with a smile, and then said: "We didn't talk much at the celebration banquet yesterday, can you tell me more about your plans for this TV series!"

"Mr. Li, that's right. ”

Lin Chen sorted out the language and said: "At present, the domestic Xianxia drama market is still in the exploration period, and most TV dramas are mainly emotional dramas, anti-Japanese dramas, and costume dramas.

Li Junguo said with a smile: "This is indeed the case, we have also investigated when we invested in TV series before, of course, the most important reason is that the investment in Xianxia is too large, a drama does not mention the actor's salary, that is, the minimum cost of other costs is more than 100 million, and the special effects and sets are too expensive!"

"Yes, although Director Zhang's "Journey to the West: Marshal Tianpeng" is a Xianxia drama, the special effects do not cost much money, and most of them are mainly based on bloody plots. ”

Lin Chen said with some confidence when he said this: "Although our main focus in this filming of "The Legend of Xianxia" is not special effects, but the special effects must be on par with foreign countries, not only that, this Xianxia drama focuses on youth idols!"

"Youth idol??"

Li Junguo understood a little, so he teased: "You were still talking about Director Zhang's movie dog blood just now, are you also going to go through the love dog blood drama? But this has always been a routine of the city and ancient costumes, won't Xianxia be indecent when he walks in love?"

"Presumably Mr. Li, you haven't read the book "The Legend of Xianxia"!"

Lin Chen said: "In fact, the core of this drama is people, and Xianxia is ultimately about chivalry and responsibility, and this time I am ready to cast according to the characters, and try to be as young as possible!"

Another time and space, why did the first part of "The Legend of Xianxia" become a classic?

Isn't it because of the creation of the characters?

The chivalry of leisure, the infatuation of Yueru, the responsibility of Ling'er, etc., and the average age of the leading actors in this drama is only 18 years old!

This is also why Lin Chen wants to carry Jiang Qi and Yuan Ping in this part of the propaganda!

He hoped that the two of them could merge more, because in Lin Chen's opinion, Yuan Ping and Jiang Qi's temperament was very similar to the former Lao Hu and the fairy sister!

So the negotiations with Li Junguo have also reached an impasse!

Li Junguo is willing to invest a large sum of 60 million, but they have one condition, that is, the male and female protagonists of "The Legend of Xianxia" must let them choose!

Lin Chen refused without thinking about this!

Li Xiaoyao, Ling'er, Yueru, and Anu are the four roles of Lin Chen, which means that the male protagonist and the heroine and the two leading actors have already been decided!

"Mr. Li, the protagonist of "The Legend of Xianxia" can't be too old, and the youngest person you mentioned is already 29 years old, so it can't have the desired effect. ”

Lin Chen shook his head slightly: "But if the other characters are suitable, they can talk about it!"

Li Junguo shook his head slightly: "If this is the case, our investment share may have to be lowered!"

After all, if the Light Brothers can stuff in the male and female protagonists, of course they are willing to invest higher to support their artists, but the four leading actors were all designated by Lin Chen, so that the Light Media finally decided to drop directly from 60 million at the beginning to 20 million!

"Yes, you can!"

Lin Chen was not dissatisfied, he pulled the light into the game for the later publicity and release!

So he smiled and prepared to leave: "Regarding the other leading actors, Mr. Li, if your actors want to audition, you can send me a few resumes!"

"Good!"

Li Junguo nodded lightly: "I hope we have a happy cooperation!"

After Lin Chen left, Han Lei knocked on the door and entered: "Mr. Li, will the investment of 20 million be too risky?"

"I'm not investing in Lin Chen's work!"

Li Junguo shook his head and smiled: "I invested in Lin Chen, and to be able to shoot a phenomenal actor like "Happy Ghost", of course we have to be as enveloped as possible, besides, do you know? I originally wanted to win the male and female protagonists for 60 million, but Lin Chen refused. ”

Han Lei laughed when he heard this: "After all, he is rich now!"

"Haha, you don't say I forgot. ”

Li Junguo also laughed at this time: "If you wait for the box office of "Happy Ghost" to arrive, it will be about 200 million." ”

Speaking of this, Li Junguo also felt a little painful: "You have communicated with Lin Chen a lot recently, and if he wants to shoot the sequel to "Happy Ghost", he must find a way to get a piece of the pie!

……

Back at the company, Tiaozi said with some frustration: "Lao Lin, your name is still not good, I contacted several other film and television companies, and they said they didn't want to invest when they heard that you were going to shoot a Xianxia drama!"

"That's normal!"

Lin Chen said: "Haven't you read the evaluation of me on the Internet now? My current title is 'Thriller Director'!"

"How much does the Light Brothers invest over there?"

Tiaozi asked with a frown.

Lin Chen opened his mouth and said, "20 million!"

"20 million? You don't want to invest the remaining 80 million. ”

Tiaozi said with some concern: "Although the box office revenue of "Wolf Warrior" has arrived, we only have 25 million on our books now, and there is still a period of income for "Happy Ghost"?"

"Xu Bing of Huaxia Brothers will talk to me later. ”

Lin Chen said with a smile: "We will definitely invest a large amount, don't forget that we have already decided on the four leading actors, so if the Huaxia brothers are not happy, then we can only do it ourselves." ”

"Lao Lin, if we lose this, we will return to the pre-liberation period overnight. ”

Tiaozi was a little worried: "I think we still have to make a movie, and the sequel to "Happy Ghost" can continue to be filmed, and we will make a wave of money first!"

"There are at least a dozen or so movies filming "Happy Ghost" now, and we have to wait for them to hit the street before we shoot it, otherwise it will not be good for us to release it together. ”

Lin Chen waved his hand slightly: "I'll talk to Xu Bing to see if there is a possibility of cooperation, you can just get the publishing house done!"
