Chapter 6 is in preparation
"You...... Are you kidding or are you serious?"
"I'm serious, I'm definitely not kidding you. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I suggest you broadcast it in advance, it's best to be on it in these two days, and it's almost finished by the end of the month, so it won't have much impact. At least...... It can still be on fire for half a month. Speaking of the back, Lin Feng was a little embarrassed.
Chen Hai: "......"
After a while, he realized that something was wrong and asked, "I'll ask one last time, are you serious?"
Lin Feng replied: "I never fight unprepared battles!"
Chen Hai looked at him, wanting to speak and stopping, always feeling that this was a bit incredible. But because of his understanding of Lin Feng during this time, he felt that he should not be joking. If you think about it, everything he did during this time was a great success.
"The broadcast requires the cooperation of the TV station, not that I can advance it if I can do it in advance. He had a little headache, "Forget it, I'll go back and figure it out." After a pause, he said: "I heard that in order to retaliate against me, Pioneer Media specially adjusted the broadcast time of a big drama to the end of the month, just to compete with me for ratings, and now you suddenly appeared, this is really fun." Lin Feng said unexpectedly: "There is such a thing?"
"Just got the news two days ago. ”
Regardless of them, they don't care about them, talk about us. ”
Chen Hai thought for a while and said: "Although your drama is fanciful by you, the risk is still too great, and I can't eat it alone." ”
"I know, and I'm not going to leave you alone. Lin Feng smiled: "How much can you give?"
Chen Hai was silent for two minutes, throwing out a number.
"2 million. ”
"It's less than a third. Lin Feng had a bitter face, "Mr. Cheng, the income that this drama can bring you is definitely 200% upward, don't you consider investing more?"
Two million is indeed a little less, and there is still a big gap, even if Liu Shengken helps, he can't gnaw it all.
Chen Hai said sincerely: "Lin Feng, it's not that I don't believe you, it's that I really don't dare to take such a big risk.
2 million is really the limit of what I can handle. ”
The subconscious meaning of this sentence is that I think this drama will lose money.
Lin Feng was helpless and said: "That's okay, two million is two million, but you have to arrange a little manpower for me, and there must be no mistakes in the identity background." ”
Chen Hai said: "That's no problem. ”
"In addition......" Lin Feng was a little embarrassed, "I am the actor of this drama, and the right to speak in everything is mine, all." ”
"You're going too far, at least you have to keep an actor for me, and I have a few people in my company. Chen Hai said half-seriously and half-jokingly.
"I said I'd decide, but I didn't say I didn't need someone from your company. Lin Feng said: "You show me the people in your company, if there is a suitable one, you will definitely use it." ”
"That's pretty much it. Chen Hai suddenly thought of something, "You really don't need a big name?"
"No, if you want to use big names, it's not this budget. It will take a lot of effort to raise 10 million, and I will not be able to raise more. And the big names don't necessarily listen to me, and it's a hassle to shoot. So it's better to use some actors who are not famous to save trouble. ”
Chen Hai laughed and said, "Why do I get more and more hanging?"
"Don't worry, I'm measured. Lin Feng assured again.
"Okay, you've done it too, the censorship of military dramas is very strict, and the cycle is long. ”
"With Studio 8 working with me, there's nothing wrong with the censorship. After all, the army is also waiting for the influence of this drama to play a role. With the order from there, no one dared to come out and drag their feet. ”
Eighth Studio?" Chen Hai was stunned for a moment, "State-owned studios, although they are low-key, their strength is very strong, you can still find them?"
"Huh. Lin Feng smiled dryly and didn't explain.
"How much money did they invest?"
"Will they also invest money?" Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
"Didn't you say that you would cooperate with them? How can they cooperate if they don't invest money? They all take the lead in producing domestic military-themed dramas, and in terms of investment, they all account for the majority or even wholly owned. You don't know?"
Lin Feng said embarrassedly: "I really don't know, I haven't talked to them yet." ”
Chen Hai was puzzled: "Then how did you negotiate cooperation?"
"Someone pulls the strings, hehe. ”
"You really surprised me, the relationship is so good, no wonder you dare to fight with Pioneer Media. ”
Lin Feng smiled slightly, and suddenly thought of business: "That...... Mr. Cheng, do you have a way over to CCTV?"
"What are you going to do? You don't want to put your drama on the CCTV platform, right?"
Lin Feng smiled dryly: "I really have this idea. ”
"Pull it down. What do you think is the CCTV platform? Don't say that you are a weekly broadcaster, even if you finish filming all the dramas, they may not be able to see it, their requirements are high. The CCTV platform is just like the tank you want, and it may not be possible to get it if it has anything to do with it. ”
"Well, I don't have much hope. Lin Feng was prepared in his heart, but he was not too disappointed, "Can you introduce other platforms?"
Chen Hai couldn't cry or laugh: "It's empty to say anything now, you hurry up and shoot the drama, people have to see the film if they want to buy your drama." ”
"Uh...... It seems to be too. ”
The two chatted for a while, and Chen Hai also went back.
"2 million. Lin Feng was a little distressed, and he didn't know if the money could be raised. But at the thought that Eighth Studios might make a contribution, he relaxed a bit.
If there is really no way, then you can only raise money while shooting, two million to save a little, and it should be no problem to shoot seven or eight episodes or ten episodes. By then, there will be a lot of people coming to the door with money.
In fact, he also knew that Chen Hai had no confidence in this drama, and was willing to pay two million more or less because it was a little difficult to refuse, and the remaining eighty percent was based on the face of his past ability, and only when these two reasons were combined that he was willing to invest two million to give it a try. Otherwise, I'm afraid that he would really turn around and leave as he just said.
But he doesn't care, shopping malls, how can there be so many people sophisticated, if he doesn't know this drama very well, think about it from another perspective, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to vote for two million.
One has no script, the other has no experience, and he is filming and broadcasting, and there is no big-name star, and he doesn't even have a broadcast platform, how can this sound and hang.
Looking at the time, it was already early in the morning.
Lin Feng thought about it for a while, and took out his mobile phone to broadcast a call.
"Lin Feng?" the phone rang twice and was picked up, and an uncertain voice came.
"Brother Bai, it's me, haven't you slept yet?"
"I didn't ...... What's wrong?"
"Is it convenient now? Come out, I have something to tell you. ”
There was silence for a few seconds, and then he said, "I...... I'm at the station. ”
"Pick up people at the train station?"
"No, I'm going back to my hometown. Bai Xin's voice was a little sluggish.
"Back to your hometown?" Lin Feng was startled, and his voice suddenly raised, "Didn't you get in the car?"
"No, there's still half an hour. ”
"I don't know what happened to you, but don't get in the car yet, I'll come to you right away, okay?
"What's wrong?"
"If there's something big going on for you, don't get in the car. Lin Feng hung up the phone and rushed out of the door.
The traffic in the middle of the night was much better than during the day, and more than half an hour later, he appeared in the waiting hall of the train station.
He dialed Bai Xin's phone: "Brother Bai, where are you? I didn't see you." ”
"I'm out in the square, and I'll come here. ”
"Wait for me there, I'll go. Lin Feng asked the location of the square and trotted over.
In the square outside, Lin Feng saw Bai Xin, a pair of slacks, a somewhat wrinkled short-sleeved shirt, and a small backpack in his right hand, which should contain all his belongings in Beijing.
He stood in the square like this, silently looking at Lin Feng.
"What's wrong?" Lin Feng walked over.
Bai Xin spread his hands, and his tone was full of indescribable sadness: "I can't go on, I recognize the reality, and I should wake up from my dreams." ”
Lin Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he didn't have to go back if there was something at home, otherwise he would really have opened his mouth to let him stay.
"You're going to go back like this?"
Bai Xin laughed to himself, not knowing how to answer.
Lin Feng looked at him: "I have a drama and need a role, are you interested?"
Bai Xin was stunned for a moment, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
"Filming is going to start in three days at the latest, and I think you're a good fit for the role. ”
Bai Xin reacted: "You...... Aren't you comforting me?"
Lin Feng said angrily: "It's the middle of the night, I'm idle and go to sleep, isn't it?
Bai Xin stared at him for a moment, then fell silent.
Lin Feng looked up at the quiet night sky and slowly walked towards the center of the square.
Faith followed uncertainly. For acting, he is completely dead, knowing that no matter how much he flutters, he can't make any splashes, otherwise he won't go back with such a posture. He didn't know what role Lin Feng asked him to play, but he didn't have much enthusiasm in his heart, and he wouldn't think that a good role would fall on him.
On the one hand, he himself was not willing to end in this way. On the other hand, he was worried that his renewed hopes would eventually lead to a dismal exit.
He really didn't want to taste this taste of despair anymore, but now this tangled taste was not pleasant.
"I've looked at some of the roles you've played before, and even though they've only been there for a few seconds, I think they're pretty good. I think it's a shame if you go back like this. ”
Lin Feng's voice was not loud, but it was very powerful.
"The role I want to give you is very heavy, I don't dare to guarantee that you will become popular after filming this drama, but there is no problem for you to gain a firm foothold in this circle, and it is no problem for you to go back in style. If you have bigger ambitions, let's discuss it well, and there is no problem for you to have a foothold in the camp of A-list stars. ”
Bai Xin raised his head, his eyes flashed, and he didn't know which words moved him.
Lin Feng stopped in an empty and quiet place and looked back at him: "Talk?"
Bai Xin stared at him for half a minute in the faint moonlight, looking at his non-fake demeanor and sincere eyes, he finally nodded and nodded hard.
It was late at night and quiet.
The two of them sat down on the lawn next to them, and exchanged words in a whispered voice, as if they were afraid of disturbing the sleeping mosquitoes on the side.
Most of the time, Lin Feng was saying that Bai Xin was listening, and Bai Xin would occasionally ask a question or two with shocked and incredulous eyes.
They talked for a long time.
Then, Bai Xin got up and left, leaving the station.
Lin Feng was still sitting on the lawn of the square, looking at the starry sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
Two days.
Lin Feng stepped on the point of going to work and appeared in the company.
"You haven't slept all night?" Seeing Lin Feng's red eyes, Liu Sheng was surprised.
"Pretty much. Lin Feng didn't have time to be polite, so he got straight to the point: "Mr. Liu, do you remember the military drama I told you two days ago?"
"Yes. Liu Sheng understood something and asked, "You are here for this?"
Yes, the venue equipment and so on have been negotiated, and now there is a shortage of money, are you interested?"
"Sit down, sit down, sit down. Liu Sheng pointed to the sofa next to him, and asked the secretary to make him a cup of coffee before asking, "Tell me in detail." ”
Lin Feng repeated the rhetoric he had used to deal with Chen Hai.
"You...... You're not kidding, are you?" Liu Sheng's reaction was even bigger than Chen Hai's, and his face was full of unbelievable looks.
Filming and broadcasting?
Don't have a well-established script?
Don't have a big name?
It's all men's play?
Still going to finish broadcasting in a month and a half?
Isn't that a joke?
Liu Sheng stretched out his hand to support his forehead, and for a moment wondered if he had heard it wrong.
Lin Feng knew what he was thinking and said, "Mr. Liu, I know this doesn't sound very reliable, but you believe me, I am sure that this drama will become a very influential drama." ”
"The audience of military dramas is not as wide as urban dramas and romantic dramas, and now you don't even have a big name or a female character in this play, and you have lost a large number of audiences here, even the big director Chen Shuli doesn't dare to do this, you are really ......" Liu Sheng really didn't know what to say about him.
How about your interesting plot?
Can anyone watch such a drama?
"Mr. Liu......"
Lin Feng wanted to speak, but Liu Sheng waved his hand and said, "Xiao Lin, I didn't say you, you can't say that you are bold, this is simply walking a tightrope empty-handed, it's too dangerous!"
"Mr. Liu......"
Liu Sheng interrupted again: "In the film and television industry, my experience can be said to be much richer than yours, sometimes just by reading the script or the story, we can roughly guess its ratings or box office, you said that you can finally negotiate the venue equipment, why don't you write a better book?
"It's a really good script. Lin Feng felt a wave of weakness.
"Xiaolin, I know what you're capable of. But you're too young to take things for granted, and sometimes you should listen to us old guys. Liu Sheng persuaded hard, and there was no meaning to ridicule him or underestimate him in his tone, "I say something that is not very good, if you follow the trick of this idea, I am afraid it will be a problem whether there is a platform willing to broadcast it." ”
Lin Feng smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that today was probably going to be in vain.
"As a person who has come over, I'm not afraid to tell you clearly, it's really difficult to get investment with a book like yours. If you really want to make such a drama, I can only say sorry to you. If you are willing to change the script, we can talk about it, and if you need it, I can introduce you to two screenwriters and help you change it in the fastest time. ”
"Mr. Liu, thank you for your kindness, but I still insist on my idea. He could also tell that he was sincere, and knew that he was genuinely thinking about himself. "I know you have a lot of experience, but I think sometimes we can't just follow the old routine, and I think it's necessary to try to innovate. That's what we young people should do. ”
Liu Sheng glanced at him in some surprise.
"Okay, Mr. Liu, since that's the case, I won't bother. Lin Feng got up.
At this moment, Liu Sheng's heart was inexplicably a little shaken, and he was a little touched by Lin Feng's words just now. Unfortunately, the vacillation was only a matter of moments, and he immediately returned to the role of a businessman. From a businessman's point of view, the show is simply not worth the investment.
"Xiaolin, you won't blame me, will you?" Liu Sheng quipped.
"How can I be? Lin Feng said with a smile: "Business, it's normal to not be able to talk about it, I still have this awareness." ”
Liu Sheng laughed: "Okay, I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate again next time, and I also hope that this time I will be blind." But I still have to advise you again, change the script and add a little commercial element to it, otherwise, I'm afraid you will really fall on your heels this time. ”
"I don't accept your suggestion. Lin Feng shook his head with a smile.
I knew it would be in vain. Liu Sheng shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Leaving from the old horse, Lin Feng was a little deflated.
He didn't expect this to be the result, with the strength of Lao Ma Zhitu, he thought that he could get two or three million, but he didn't expect Liu Sheng to refuse so thoroughly.
Studio 8 hasn't contacted him yet, and he's taking a taxi to June Video.
This drama is definitely going to make a lot of money, and of course he has to invest a little. It would be too much to say if you didn't take a bite of such a large bread. However, he didn't have much money on him, so he could only ask Zuo Shanghua for an advance first.
The phone rang suddenly, and Bai Xin called.
"Big Brother Bai. ”
"I've found a few people at your request, do you want to ask them to come and have a look?"
Don't worry, you send me the works they have acted, and I'll take a look at them before deciding whether to meet or not. ”
"Good. ”
As soon as I hung up the phone, another strange call came in.
"Hello. ”
"Hello, is this Mr. Lin Feng? I'm Xiao Zhu from Studio No. 8. ”
"Hello, I'm Lin Feng. Lin Feng's spirit was shocked, and he said in his heart that Lin Guozhong's work efficiency is really high.
"We received an order from above to discuss with you the filming of "Soldier Assault", do you have time now?" I don't know if it's because of Lin Guozhong, but the TV is also very polite.
"Yes, yes, that, you give me the address, and I'll go find you. ”
"It's okay, I'm in the studio, you can just come here. ”
"Okay, okay, I still have some things to deal with here, maybe a little later. "It's about to be June, so he just dealt with it in advance first.
"It's okay, I'll wait for you. ”
"Okay, okay. After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng was in good spirits, rushed into the June video like flying, and went straight to Zuo Shanghua's office to explain his intention.
"Money, are you short of money?" Zuo Shanghua looked at him and said with some astonishment: "Xiaolin, what have you been busy with lately, why are your eyes still red?"
"I'm preparing a TV series, and I'm going to start filming it soon. Lin Feng leaned back on the sofa and rubbed his eyebrows a little tiredly. Briefly told me about TV. "Now everything else is almost ready, it's just the actors and the money. ”
"If you want money, you want to invest in this show?"
Yes, a company has spent almost all of my money, and it is really not enough. Zuo Shanghua knows the advertising money he earned from Liangjian, and he can't say that his money has been spent, so he can only push it up the company.
Zuo Shanghua nodded: "How much do you need?"
"Uh...... How much money can I get for these two shows so far?"
"Both shows are your credit, and one can get at least a million. Why don't I give you an advance of 1 million?"
"That's great. Lin Feng was overjoyed, he had no idea how much money the show could make, he thought that he would get five or six hundred thousand at most on the way here, and then he would make up from other places, barely enough to make up one million.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Shanghua gave him a million as soon as he opened his mouth. Now that the show has only been recorded for a few episodes, it must be a lot to give a million.
Zuo Shanghua called the finance, and then asked, "Are you investing in this drama yourself?"
"How can I have so much money, I'm pulling investment everywhere now. ”
"What is the budget for this drama?" Zuo Shanghua suddenly asked.
"Ten million, and now only two million have been pulled. ”
Zuo Shanghua thought for a while, and suddenly said: "That's it, the company doesn't have much cash, and you can invest two million if you get together, do you think it's okay?"
Lin Feng was stunned, his face full of surprise.
"Mr. Zuo, you dare to vote if you don't ask me what the situation of this drama is?"
Zuo Shanghua looked a little inexplicable, and asked rhetorically: "What else do I have to worry about your works?"
Lin Feng was stunned again.
She didn't even know what the situation of this drama was, so she invested 2 million into it, showing that she wasn't going to return it, but just said this when she heard that he still had a big gap.
In the end, it was revolutionary friendship, and this unconditional trust made him can't help but be a little moved.
Of course, she also really trusts his ability and doesn't feel that her investment will not be able to pay off.
"Of course, Mr. Zuo, you've helped me a lot. ”
"Let's not be so polite to each other. You go to the finance side and sign it, and it will hit your account later. I'm afraid I'll have to wait two days for the two million investment, and I'll have to make it up. "Okay, don't rush the investment money first, I haven't figured out how it works, I'll negotiate with the studio and then sign the contract." ”
"Do you want to advertise this show? I can introduce you to some advertisers. ”
"No, no, no, no ads. ”
The two chatted for a while, and Lin Feng hurriedly left with the windfall from June Video, which made all the employees of June Video feel inexplicable.
