"Lee. Feng Xiaolan smiled: "I believe in your vision. ”

Somehow, Li Xi always felt that there was a hint of provocation in the other party's smile.

Perhaps, he felt that the reason why Feng Xiaolan wanted to invest in this script was actually just playing her own idea, whether she invested or not, or whether she made money or not, it was secondary.

For a while, Li Xi couldn't help but feel a little complacent in his heart, and the feeling of being cared for by others was the same for anyone.

"Mr. Li, Ms. Feng, thank you, thank you. The director was so grateful that he barely knew what to say.

"By the way, what do you call it?" asked Li Xi again.

The director was so excited just now that he forgot to introduce his name at all, and then he heard Li Xi's inquiry, so he respectfully took out two business cards from his body and handed them to Li Xi and Feng Xiaolan respectively.

Feng Xiaolan didn't answer his business card, and stretched out her hand to point at Li Xi, "If you have anything, just go to Li directly, and he can fully represent my decision." ”

Li Xi also saw that Feng Xiaolan was showing favor to herself, so she didn't say anything, and took the director's business card, and the name on it was Zhang Dong.

This is an unfamiliar name, Li Xi has never heard of it, and it is expected that he is also a small person who is not famous in this industry.

But he still put away his business card, "I'll have someone contact you when I go back and discuss investment." ”

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Li. Zhang Dong thanked him repeatedly.

Even the actress who was with him kept thanking him. "Thank you, Mr. Lee, thank you, Mr. Lee. ”

Before attending this banquet, Zhang Dong had made a promise to the actress. If she is willing to help and get investment, let her play the heroine in the movie. Of course, if the investor has other plans for the selection of the heroine, the director will also consider letting her play another more important female role in the movie.

After all, film investment, casting and even changing the plot or something. It should be based on the opinions of investors.

As for pulling actresses over and helping to attract investment, it goes without saying the main purpose. Of course, when necessary, let the actress make some necessary sacrifices. Under normal circumstances, if the actress really needs to be sacrificed, the choice of the heroine basically does not run.

This kind of implicit Taoism does not say Zhang Dong himself. The actress is also a door clearer. Appropriate pay. It's normal to get a role in a movie.

Unexpectedly, the development of things was completely unexpected, due to the appearance of this Feng Xiaolan, this Li Xi did not use an actress on the stage, so he agreed to invest.

And for this kind of small-scale horror film, if you don't invite big-name actors, 10 million investment. It's really abundant.

Of course, the more money you have. In the process of shooting, there is definitely more room to play. After all, it costs money to reshoot shots, and if you don't have money, you may go straight to the past, and only when you have money can you keep improving.

However, several other directors and actresses suddenly became hot when they saw that Li Xi had finalized an investment so easily. Originally, there were several directors and actresses who still despised Li Xi in their hearts. But now, when he suddenly saw that the other party threw out five million without blinking his eyes and invested in a movie, his perception of the other party immediately changed.

"Mr. Li, can you read my script?"

"Mr. Li, please take a look at my script?"

……

gossiping, holding the script in his hand, he wanted Li Xi to help take a look.

Li Xi waved his hand, "Hehe, I'm sorry, if I have the chance, I can introduce you to other people." ”

It's not that Li Yi is unwilling to invest, but on the one hand, he makes investments in this area, and he just invests and has fun. On the other hand, the investment in movies is really a laborious thing, and many times, let's put it this way, it is difficult to schedule the movies made by these small directors.

With his own connections, even if he wants to be screened, he may not be able to really screen it, and he may not even be able to pass the review. Therefore, if you really want to invest in movies, the investor must have strong strength.

At least be able to get through the relevant joints, on the one hand, to ensure that your film passes the review, on the other hand, you must also open up enough theaters, keep the schedule, so that the movie can be released smoothly.

The latter is a question that directly determines how much box office the movie can receive. Obviously, under the same circumstances, even if two movies of the same level, one has fifty cities and one hundred theaters at the same time, for seven consecutive days, and one has only ten cities and twenty theaters at the same time, and can only be released for three consecutive days, the box office that can be received is not comparable at all.

Therefore, it is very common for some good productions to get a high box office due to the problem of the theater chain, but because they are offline in advance, the box office will be reduced.

But if you're strong enough to have your movie shown in theaters across the country at the same time, then even if it's just a super bad movie, it won't be too bad at the box office.

For Li Xi, it is not necessarily so difficult to find a relationship, but it is also a very troublesome thing to keep looking for relationships and let people play their own movies.

That wasn't what he wanted.

Hence the outright refusal.

As for the question of whether Li Yi can find a relationship, Zhang Dong is not worried at all, with his ability to easily scare Liu Shiming away, to find a relationship, at least in Zhang Dong's eyes, Li Xi must be a powerful or backstage figure.

Otherwise, how could Liu Shiming buy his account?

But despite this, Zhang Dong couldn't help but glance at the actress, and the actress immediately understood. Although Li Xi has made it clear that he wants to invest, he did not even mention who should make the decision on the actor's role.

But for the sake of insurance, whether it is Zhang Dong or the actress, they are very uneasy, what if Li Xi changes his mind again? For actresses, what if Li Yi suddenly proposes to let someone else play the heroine?

This kind of dedication, for actresses, is also willing. When he saw Zhang Dong's eyes, he turned to Li Xi. Her face was immediately full of smiles, but fortunately, she could also see that Feng Xiaolan seemed to be interested in Li Xi, and at the same time. also because Feng Xiaolan is another investor in this movie, so she didn't dare to show Li Xi too obviously, so as not to anger Feng Xiaolan, the gains will definitely outweigh the losses, and she is very enthusiastic to ask Li Xi for contact information.

Li Xi looked at Zhang Dong, and Zhang Dong introduced: "Mr. Li, Lulu's acting skills are good. I intend to let him play the female number one. Of course, if you have a better candidate, we're considering. ”

The meaning of the moment. Obviously, if Li Xi has a favorite candidate, then it doesn't matter if he is temporarily replaced. Zhang Dong will definitely not insist.

He takes Lulu to the banquet. Primary purpose. is to let Lulu help beat the side drum and get the investors, if Lulu can't get the investors, then it doesn't matter if she changes her, even if it's herself, she can't complain a lot about herself.

Of course, Zhang Dong will definitely say something afterwards, his daughter number or something. As long as Lulu doesn't offend the investors, let's discuss. It's usually something that can be taken down.

As soon as Li Xi heard this, he felt that Zhang Dong seemed to have the intention of letting him decide the female number one. In fact, he misunderstood what Zhang Dong meant, one of the main reasons why Zhang Dong finalized the other party to be the female number one and was willing to bring the other party over, in addition to asking the other party to help get investors, there is also a very important point, that is, at least in his eyes, Lulu's acting skills may be passable and qualified as the heroine, there is no problem.

The meaning of asking Li Xi is actually to imply to Li Xi. implies that he can get something from Lulu, and Lulu will not care about these things as long as she can successfully play the female lead.

But Li Xi has never been in contact with this industry, and what he said vaguely obviously made Li Yi misunderstand, and thought that the other party really let him consider Lulu's acting skills.

said: "There is a paragraph in the script, there is a noise in the attic, the heroine wants to rush to the attic, and at the same time, there are flower pots falling from above, and the heroine rushes up directly regardless of the danger, even regardless of dissuasion, and is hit by a flower pot, you come to perform." ”

As soon as she said this, the director and actress Lulu were obviously stunned for a moment, they didn't expect that Li Xi would really test Lulu's performance level.

Feng Xiaolan took a sip of wine and turned her head to snicker. For a woman like her, who has been in the social circle all year round, as soon as Zhang Dong opened her mouth, she generally understood what the other party meant, and knew that this Zhang Dong was helping Li Xi and Lulu pull the line.

didn't expect Li Xi to take the other party's words seriously, but ignored the implied meaning of the words, and really wanted to test Lulu's acting skills.

Lulu paused for a moment, but did as she was told, and looked up, first with a look of surprise on her face, then with anger, and with a lift of her skirt, she made a gesture towards the stairs.

Zhang Dong's mouth made a 'pop' sound, simulating the scene of a flower pot falling.

Lulu seemed to feel the flowerpot fall from her eyes, and she shrank back in fright, looking down at the stairs at her feet, her face showing fear, but as soon as she gritted her teeth, she quickly put this fear aside, looked up at it, and continued to rush up the stairs.

The role of the heroine in the script was played very vividly by her.

Even Li Xi couldn't help but nod when he saw it, this Lulu, playing the heroine, is really suitable.

When Lulu performed, many people looked over and couldn't help but applaud when the performance stopped. There were even people who applauded.

Li Xi nodded, stretched out his hand to Lulu, and said to Zhang Dong, "That's her." ”

Zhang Dong was stunned, but Lulu was overjoyed, and Lian Sheng was grateful, "Thank you, Mr. Li, thank you, Mr. Li." ”

He couldn't help but bow to Li Xi. A good script, for a second-tier actor like her, what it means, needless to say.

In the big investment, if you work hard, you may be able to win a role, but it is usually only a supporting actress, at most and the most, and it may be possible to play the second female lead.

But this situation is unavoidable.

And in this kind of small investment, although it is possible to play the heroine, no one can guarantee whether it can really be played, the investor is not satisfied with the heroine's service, and it is normal to change the role temporarily.

What's more, even if you can act, it's not necessarily a good script. is not a good script, pick up a big bad movie, it can be said that the more you act, the more ruinous it is.

Usually ambitious actors, whether they are male or actresses, are reluctant to take on that kind of big bad movie, and they are not willing to act if they are paid a lot.

And the reason why Lulu is so happy is because this script is really good, and if she can successfully play the female lead, it means that her prospects are very good.

"You're welcome. Li Xi responded to Lulu, turned to Zhang Dong, and said half-jokingly: "When the time comes, the investment will be given to you, if the shooting is not good, don't blame me for being unkind to you." ”

Zhang Dong said: "Mr. Li, don't worry, I will do my best, I will do my best." ”

The opportunity is rare, even if Li Xi doesn't say it, he will cherish it himself.

"Mr. Li, can you leave your contact information to me?" Lulu looked at Li Xi expectantly.

Since he decided to let the other party be the heroine, Li Xibian didn't mind leaving his contact information to the other party. said it at the moment, not only Lulu, but even Zhang Dong hurriedly wrote it down.

"If there's nothing important, don't contact me. ”

Li Xi commanded, nodded at Feng Xiaolan, and walked away.

Feng Xiaolan didn't want to just watch the fat in her mouth fly, and followed.

Huang Sanliang said a few words of congratulations to Zhang Dong and Lulu, and also followed Li Xi away.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li. ”

In the entire banquet, there were really a few people who knew Li Xi, so much so that someone called him just a few steps away.

Li Xi turned his head and looked at the place where the voice came from, and saw Professor He in the Chicken Farm Research Institute, who was also at this banquet before he arrived first.

Professor He was wearing a gray suit and dress, with his hair combed back, and he was dressed very energetically. Beside him, there was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl standing with a face similar to him, Li Xi guessed that it might be Professor He's daughter.

"So you're there, Professor He. Li Xi stretched out his hand and shook it with the other party.

The two exchanged a few words, and Professor He said the purpose of his participation in the banquet, it turned out that after buying the old hen from Jiang Yanling, Professor He planned to use the old hen to do research.

But to do research, you need funding.

He came this time, and it was a matter of power funding. It is true that he is the director of the research institute, but he is not the director of the chicken farm, and this kind of thing needs to be decided by others.

After discussing with the director of the chicken farm, the director of the chicken farm brought him to the banquet and asked him to convince Wu Jialu, the director of the chicken farm, at the banquet.

Wu Jialu is the rich man who came with Yan Ruyi, but Li Xi doesn't know this person for the time being.

The supervisor was responsible for the introduction, and Professor He persuaded Wu Jialu to agree to allocate funds to the chicken farm to conduct research on the old hens.

However, at this time, Wujialu didn't care about the chicken farm. (To be continued......)
