Chapter 357
An actress tentatively asked Li Xi, and even the tone of her voice was a lot more polite, "Mr. Li, do you know Liu Shao?"
"Saw it not so long ago. Li Xi said lightly, "I said a few words." ”
What he said was an understatement, others heard it in their ears, but they could obviously guess that the two of them must not just say a few words, if they just said a few words, how could Liu Shiming turn around and leave when he saw him?
Several directors obviously thought of this, and some people moved their hearts again and asked Li Xi very respectfully, "Does Mr. Li know any friends who want to invest in movies? ”
Li Xi heard the answer between the director and Liu Shiming just now, and he had roughly guessed what the so-called actor casting was about.
There are more men and women who want to join this industry, but the resources are only controlled by a few people, so these actors can only make certain sacrifices in the selection of roles.
Of course, this is also related to the non-openness and transparency of the selection of roles, and domestic films, in the final analysis, have not yet formed a real industrialization. At least there is no clear order that some people can think of as manipulation, and all sorts of unspoken rules keep appearing.
Li Xi is really not very interested in this industry.
In addition, he doesn't have many friends, there are many people who know him, and he doesn't know many people. These people are mainly limited to some people who came to his house and gave treasures containing aura.
It's just that among these people, there are not many people who are in the upper class and really rich. Otherwise, for a banquet like today, no one would notify Li Xi.
Listening to the director's words, Li Xi shook his head, "Go back and see your friends, let's help you ask." ”
Although he didn't have many friends, there were still a few, and it didn't take much time to go back and ask. If someone really thinks about this, it's a good thing for themselves and their friends.
Therefore, Li Xi is for such help. Not much to resist.
When the directors heard this, they immediately changed their faces again, and several people accompanied Li Xi, talking and laughing.
"Li!" Someone suddenly greeted Li Xi.
Li Xi turned around and saw that it was Feng Xiaolan, whom he had just met.
Feng Xiaolan at this time. He and Yang Yuzhen had been separated, and when they saw Li Xi, they were pleasantly surprised: "It turns out that you are here." ”
Li Xi sells the fruits of life, and he is still able to get into her eyes.
"Ms. Feng, meet again. Li Xi touched the cup in his hand with the other party. didn't know that this Feng Xiaolan was actually looking for him on purpose.
The two exchanged a few words, and Li Xi introduced these directors and actors to Feng Xiaolan. Immediately, a director asked Feng Xiaolan if he had the idea of investing in films.
Feng Xiaolan smiled at Li Xi and asked the director, "Your movie." How much money do you need to invest?"
As soon as the director heard it, he knew that there was a door, and groaned slightly, "Ten million, well, if it is less, five million is about the same." Audition actors can save a lot of money. ”
"Five million, that's not much. Feng Xiaolan turned to Li Xi and asked, "Li, are you interested in playing?"
Her meaning was clear. Invest some money and play casually, anyway, it doesn't matter for her, or for Li Xi in her opinion. That's a lot of money.
If you can't get it back, you just throw it out to play. Five million is not a big deal anyway.
In addition, when I asked Li Xi, I also had a tentative mind and wanted to take a look. Li Xi is not bold enough to spend money. This is the legendary single lady, who has money in her hands, has nothing to do, and will always try her best to find something to do for herself.
She pestered Li Xi, and even found it all the way, but she had some thoughts about Li Xi.
Li Xi himself looks like not to mention him, he has a successful career and a mysterious person, which originally had a great attraction to these idle ladies who were pursuing excitement.
Die, killers, and all the mystical professions are important factors that attract these noble ladies. She really didn't mind, or she really wanted to have something to do with Li Xi.
Li Xi has not developed to that point for the time being, and he does not know so much about the lives of these people for the time being.
After listening to Feng Xiaolan's words, he couldn't help but hesitate slightly, five million was nothing to him, and if he threw it out, he would throw it out, and what he was thinking about now was whether he should be entangled with this Feng Xiaolan.
Feng Xiaolan saw him groaning, smiled slightly, waved her right hand, and a huge diamond ring on her hand was very conspicuous, and said very boldly: "Li, if it's inconvenient, I'll help you out." ”
"Thank you for your kindness, but no. Li Xi shook his head, turned to the director, and asked, "What about your script?"
The director immediately took out his script, "Mr. Li, please read it." ”
"En!" Li Xi lowered his head, inadvertently took out a smart and clever fruit and ate it, his movements were very natural, so that although he took out a fruit and ate it, it was seen by others, and no one doubted that the fruit he ate had any special effect.
Just think that it is like eating gum for other people, who may be accustomed to eating a fruit once in a while.
"Li, what fruit?" Feng Xiaolan saw it and couldn't help but ask Li Xi, to be honest, she was very curious about what happened to Li Xi, no matter what it was.
"A very peculiar fruit, do you want to taste it?" Li Xi took out a small paper bag from his body, and the paper bag was filled with some spirit fruits.
Although the appearance of the smart and clever fruit is special, there are many types of elf fruits, and there are still some elf fruits that are similar to the smart and clever fruits, so Li Xi took these elf fruits with him to hide his smart and clever fruits.
Feng Xiaolan was not polite at all, took out an elf fruit from the paper bag and ate it, nodded and praised: "Good taste, fruit that I have never seen before, Li, this is also the fruit you operate?"
Li Xi nodded, and took advantage of the strange effect of the clever and clever fruit to read the script.
After eating the smart and clever fruit, without memorizing it, Li Xi's browsing speed can be described as ten lines at a glance, and ten lines at a glance.
Dozens of pages of the script made him go through it in just two or three minutes.
This script is not bad, it is about several young men and women, and the strange things they encounter in a villa, a suspenseful and terrifying script.
Li Xi finished reading. nodded, although he didn't do this business, but good is bad, if it's really a great script. Anyone can tell. The script in front of him, Li Xi only skimmed it a little, and knew that it was a quite wonderful script.
Give the script back to that director.
Feng Xiaolan didn't care about the script and asked Li Xi, "Li." How?"
"It's ok. Li Xi did not deliberately praise how good the director's script was, "It is a script worth investing in." ”
"Why don't you invest together?" Feng Xiaolan asked Li Xi tentatively.
If she invests or not, she doesn't care about it at all, and her current actions are just to get close to Li Xi. The sense of mystery on Li Xi's body is quite lethal to these noble ladies.
In fact, at this point for them, it doesn't matter what the man looks like, it's particularly exciting. is what they are pursuing. With money in hand and a good life, it is really easy to find a good-looking man, and in some clubs, you can have as much as you want.
A man with a special temperament, coupled with an incomprehensible sense of mystery, will bring people a different feeling.
"Okay. Li Xi is really optimistic about this script, not about Feng Xiaolan. But then again. There is a woman who pesters him so much, as a normal man, there is a little joy in his heart after all.
Of course. This is on the premise that he doesn't know Feng Xiaolan's life as a woman, and after understanding it, it is not impossible to break out into rage.
Although he doesn't mind having some intimate relationships with some strange women, it depends on who the other party is after all. SOME SI WOMEN WHO LIVE MORE DANG LIVES ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT IN HIS EYES.
Ask the director, "You said five million is enough?"
The director didn't expect it. By mistake, because of the appearance of a woman, Li Xi actually agreed to his investment, and under the surprise, even his voice trembled a little, as a director who is not very optimistic, there are not many companies willing to hire him to make movies.
What's more, no one asks him to shoot a really big investment and a good script, and what is willing to ask him to make is usually some predetermined movies.
What is a set movie, just like what Liu Shao said before. Investors invest in movies for a specific purpose, whether it is to praise people or meet some of their own special requirements, in terms of scripts, they will always make a mess.
Of course, there are also people who spend a lot of money to buy the scripts of celebrities and invest in them. This kind of praise is a big deal.
The scripts used are usually the kind that are particularly classic. These scripts, no matter how badly filmed, can still gain a certain amount of attention and ratings. In the end, they can all receive the purpose of praising people.
It's like Jin Yong's drama.
But these scripts are still not the turn of a second-tier little person like the director in front of him to shoot, and what he is asked to shoot is usually the kind that is rotten and sparse.
The investment of small investment is impressive, and the script is a mess, but the roles of the main characters are absolutely sufficient. In other words, the purpose of film or television is only to make certain actors or actors perform.
It's just that for this director, such a script, even if he shoots 10,000, will not bring him any positive evaluation, and even if there is an evaluation, it will be scolded. So that the road is getting narrower and narrower, and the director's career is getting worse and worse.
This is a result that no normal person wants.
And small scripts, really good small scripts, because of the low investment and low production costs, if they can really be filmed well, it will definitely be a big killer for themselves to turn the tables or enhance their fame.
replied to Li Xi, "Five million is definitely enough, and even ...... If the funds are insufficient, a little more reduction can still be done. ”
It's a pity that the director has really made a lot of concessions in order to make this movie. Reducing investment means reducing funding, which is rarely required by the director of the shoot unless he has a higher pursuit.
Li Xi shook his head noncommittally, "Downsize, no need." In this way, I will invest 10 million in you, and you will shoot this script. By the way, what's your name?"
After talking for so long, he didn't even pay attention to the director's name.
Although the other party has introduced him, the reality is like this, if you don't introduce yourself, others will be able to remember you, unless you do something that can make the other party remember and leave a deep impression, the other party will have you in their eyes.
It's not just Li Xi.
"Ahh But five million is obviously different from ten million.
It's not necessarily that the more money you spend, the more you do. But it is an eternal truth that the more you spend on the same thing, the better the result will definitely be.
"Is Mr. Li really willing to invest?"
Li Xi smiled and didn't answer, 10 million is nothing to himself, and this director's script is really good.
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if you don't make money and throw it out to play, it's nothing.
What's more, the decision just now was influenced by Feng Xiaolan.
Feng Xiaolan can take out millions, just play casually, why can't she do it. On this occasion, it's not that you have to throw money away, the key is that if you don't dare to do anything, tie your hands and feet, and be too stingy, you will definitely be despised.
What is the main purpose of this kind of banquet at the moment?
This is a networking meeting, on the one hand, to let people meet more friends. Like before, someone pulled Fang Yunzhu and made sure to introduce him to someone.
At the same time, it is also a sales meeting, like Bai Wenyan, together with Xu Xiaoman, holding his button-down dress and introducing it to others.
Or the investment club, some wealthy people, go to this kind of banquet, looking for investment opportunities. If you have a project in your hand but don't have the money, take the project to find an investor.
Especially investment, it can be said that in this kind of banquet, the most important role is investment. Although not every investment can be successful, every successful investment will be talked about.
Feng Xiaolan smiled: "Li, you forgot about me. Said to invest together. ”
Li Xi said: "Ms. Feng is willing to invest, how can I stop it?"
"That's it, Li, since you said 10 million, I don't think it's as good as this, the two of us, each of us will contribute 5 million and invest in this script together. Feng Xiaolan and Li Xi discussed.
"Yes. Li Xi said: "I have no opinion. However, you haven't read the script yet, so you're going to invest in this script, aren't you worried about losing money?"
The last question was mainly a joke, but it was also a sincere inquiry about Feng Xiaolan.
After all, it is an investment, and no matter how rich a person is, he does not want to lose his investment. (To be continued.) )
