Chapter 32 Investing in "The Blind Well"

At two o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, the filming base in Province H.

Li Zhe looked at the filming base of "Blind Well" curiously, and finally knew why the shooting cost of Blind Well was so low.

The whole crew lives in a small mountain village, and the actors are unkempt, and it seems that most of the money is spent on renting machines.

Li Zhe's arrival gave the crew a glimmer of hope, Li Yang walked out of it with a smile, Bao Qiang had already told him yesterday that Li Zhe would come over to invest.

"Mr. Li, meet again, you've been famous lately!"

Li Yang has never been so polite to others on weekdays, but now the crew has funds, and if they can't find investment in a short period of time and fall short, it will be really miserable.

He didn't allow this kind of thing to happen, so he had a bit of flattery when he talked to Li Zhe.

"Director Li, let's not talk about more, let's get straight to the point. ”

Seeing Li Zhe go straight in, Li Yang was a little embarrassed.

"Director Li, you don't have to worry. Brother Wang and I are also friends, and the role of Bao Qiang is also set by you, if your movie is really good, I will definitely invest in it. ”

Li Zhe saw that he was a little worried, and made his words clear.

His face was a little better, he was still confident in his movie, the two found a place to sit down, and Li Yang handed over the complete script to Li Zhe.

Li Zhe directly began to look through the pages one by one, he watched it quickly, and after turning the pages one by one, he found that the adapted parts were not very many, and the plot structure had not changed, so it can be said that as long as it is shot normally, it is definitely a good movie.

Li Yang waited slowly, he knew that Li Zhe had been appearing on TV recently, and he knew through Baoqiang that the planning of the advertisement was also made by Li Zhe, so he was very optimistic about whether Li Zhe could invest.

"Director Li, let's open the skylight and say something bright, how much box office do you think your movie can have?"

Li Zhe put down the script in his hand and asked Li Yang.

When Li Yang was asked this question, his face became even more embarrassed, and he replied: "It's not a secret, we don't plan to make money at the box office of this movie at all, but don't worry, we have other channels." ”

Li Zhe nodded and continued to ask, "What do you think is the probability that this movie will pass the review?"

Li Yang was silent, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and it took a long time for him to speak, and he replied with difficulty: "Less than 30%. ”

Li Zhe nodded again, and then said: "I paid for the 200,000, don't let Brother Wang take it, his money will have to be used until the final payment of "Tianfu Iron Arm". ”

Li Yang was already ready to be rejected, but he didn't expect Li Zhe to directly agree to invest, and he didn't react for a while.

"You're not afraid of losing money?"

Li Zhe shook his head: "How can I be afraid of losing money, but I know that this movie is a good movie, and it would be a pity if it was ruined because of funding, and it was ......"

His voice turned to Li Yang: "Director Li didn't hide it from me just now in order to get investment, I think Director Li alone is worthy of my investment." ”

"As for how to make a profit, Director Li must have a preliminary draft in his heart, right?"

With the investment, Li Yang's heavy expression slowly let go, he nodded and said, "That's right, but this way of making a profit is risky." ”

He took out a cigarette and lit it, and handed another one to Li Zhe, but Li Zhe refused.

He said with a cigarette in his mouth: "My plan is to take it to the optoelectronic for review after the editing is completed, and if it doesn't happen, forget it, and it won't be released in the mainland anymore." I'm going to go to the Berlin Film Festival and then go to Taiwan for the Golden Horse Awards. If you get a nomination or award at the Berlin Film Festival, you will definitely win the Golden Horse Award in Taiwan, so that you can pay for yourself just by buying the copyright. ”

He gushed about his plans and plans, and Li Zhe finally understood how these literary films worked in order to maintain profitability.

However, Li Zhe didn't care too much about these, he asked directly: "If you go to a foreign film festival without passing the review, do you think of the end of "Alive"?"

Li Yang listened to it, but he didn't care, and said indifferently: "Can I be managed by photoelectric power in China, can I still be able to go abroad to participate in exhibitions? Besides, isn't Director Zhang okay now?"

Li Zhe's brows kept beating, and his heart was very uneasy.

Is there a mistake? That's Zhang Yimou, the existence of the nickname National Teacher, even so, it was cold for a long time because it was taken out to participate in the exhibition because it was not tried, can you compare with Zhang Yimou? I'm afraid that you will be banned if you do it!

But Li Zhe thought about it and still didn't say it, although these are all facts, but they are too hurtful, and this matter is not strictly related to Li Zhe.

As long as he can guarantee that the 200,000 yuan will not be lost, he will not persuade him any more.

put 200,000 yuan on the crew's account, and after signing a contract, Li Zhe and Bao Qiang chatted a few words and left.

"Mission accomplished: Solve the problem during the shooting of the blind well. Task reward: 300 points, Wang Baoqiang's acting skills increased by 2 points. ”

Before leaving, he left 10,000 yuan for Bao Qiang, and said: "If you are short of money, tell me, don't hand over the money stupidly." What are you doing with all this money?"

"Hey, hey. Bao Qiang has been smirking, and he is also very happy that the crew's financial problem has been solved.

Li Zhe shook his head helplessly, he knew that Bao Qiang would never listen, and if he encountered a friend in difficulty, he would definitely hand over the money without saying a word.

But this is also the reason why he trusts him so much, if Baoqiang is no longer simple, will he still be considered Baoqiang?

Li Zhe is still very satisfied with this trip, in addition to the success of the investment, he also knows Bao Qiang's performance in the crew, and his acting skills have actually increased by 3 points in just one month with his own efforts, plus the two points rewarded by the task just now, directly reached 67 points.

Li Zhe did not hesitate, and spent another 300 points, which increased his acting skills to 70 points.

You must know that Bao Qiang is on the big screen this time, and he is going to participate in foreign exhibitions, if his acting skills are too poor and spicy, not only will Bao Qiang's evaluation be low, but more importantly, the 200,000 yuan he invested may really be in vain.

Originally, with Bao Qiang's acting skills, he would never be able to act in such a literary film, but fortunately, Bao Qiang in this role can be regarded as his true colors, he only needs to play himself, so with such a bonus, he may be better than an actor with 80 acting skills.

However, after 70 points, he did not continue to improve, after all, after 70, it costs 200 points for one attribute point, and he only has 370 points left, and he can only increase by 1 point, so it is better to keep it.

After greeting for a while, Li Zhe flew to Yanjing, he must now build the studio first, and the grass platform team must also be set up, so as not to make Zhao Yinger and Wang Baoqiang rush after filming.

By the time he arrived in Yanjing, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening, Li Zhe stepped off the plane, ready to find a hotel to stay for one night, but he didn't expect Mr. Zhang of Guangsheng Company to come to pick up the plane.

"Huh, Mr. Zhang, how do you know that my time is up?" Li Zhe was a little surprised.

"Haha, I called Zhao Ying'er yesterday and learned about your flight. Zhang Jialu replied with a smile.

Li Zhe reacted, he told Zhao Yinger about the two flights today, and it was not surprising that Zhang Jialu learned from her.

But why is Zhang Jialu so enthusiastic? He doesn't believe that his friendship with Zhang Jialu will allow him to come to the airport to pick him up at 9 p.m.
