Lin Zixuan and his entourage were still discovered by the media, not that they were public, but that it was related to the hotel they were staying in. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Chen Changle arranged a five-star hotel for them, there are many hotels of this level in Xiangjiang, and there is nothing in normal times, but now there are reporters in Xiangjiang, and there are basically reporters squatting in front of each five-star hotel.

The focus of these reporters was the return of Xiangjiang, and Ge You was caught in a coincidence, and Lin Zixuan happened to be standing aside.

The entertainment industry in Hong Kong is developed, and there are more entertainment journalists, which are also known as paparazzi.

They do everything they can to get scoops, and there are countless grievances between the Hong Kong stars and the paparazzi.

Although Ge You is a mainland actor, he holds the title of Cannes actor and has a certain popularity in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Lin Zixuan has been engaged in behind-the-scenes work and is not well known, but he can't help but be inquired by reporters, and only then did he know that Lin Zixuan is the boss of a mainland film company and the winner of the Golden Horse Award for Best Screenplay.

The size was a piece of news and was reported by the local media.

In the newspaper, Ge You and Lin Zixuan came out of the hotel, and there was a commentary next to the photo: The mainland actor came to Hong Kong and was suspected of participating in the celebration.

Now the front pages of newspapers and the headlines of the media are all reports related to the return of Hong Kong, politicians have become the protagonists of the stage, and entertainment stars can only be foils.

On the entertainment section, the most reported is the return celebration, discussing which singers will be on the stage.

For Hong Kong's entertainment industry, this is also a grand event.

In this context, the report about Ge You can only be regarded as a small piece of news, but I didn't expect it to be noticed by others, which shows that Xiangjiang is really not big, and any news spreads quickly.

For example, Wen Jun came to the door and thought that Lin Zixuan should contact him first when he came over, so that he could fulfill the friendship of the landlord.

There is also a character that Lin Zixuan didn't expect, that is Xu Ligong, a filmmaker from Baodao, who happened to be in Xiangjiang.

Speaking of which, Lin Zixuan and Xu Ligong have never met, and the two sides exchange letters through intermediaries or letters, and the script of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was sent by Lin Zixuan to Xu Ligong, and then Xu Ligong forwarded it to Li Yu.

After receiving the script, Li Yan translated it into English and explained it to foreigners, and at the same time found a familiar screenwriter to make revisions.

It takes a lot of time to perfect a script, especially this kind of film with literary and artistic tendencies, but Li Yu already has a certain degree of certainty in his heart, and the structure of the whole story is complete.

He felt that the project could move to the practical stage.

There are several conditions that are required to operate a film project, and after determining the script, that is, what to shoot, the first thing to solve is the problem of funding, followed by the team, and the third is the shooting location.

Li Yu trusted Xu Ligong, who had a long-term cooperation, and asked Xu Ligong to deal with the preliminary matters of the film.

In the phone call to Xu Ligong, he roughly determined some contents.

The investment in this film is at least more than eight million US dollars, and now you can start looking for investment, and you need the production team of Xiangjiang when shooting, especially Wuxing.

Li Yu is good at filming, although he has ideas for martial arts, but he still needs to find a professional martial artist to realize his imagination.

After all, Xiangjiang's martial arts are well-known in the industry, and they have rich experience.

In terms of filming locations, if you shoot on Treasure Island, you can save money, and if you shoot in the mainland, the scene will be better, but the cost is high.

What Xu Ligong has to do is to contact Lin Zixuan in the mainland to discuss what kind of cooperation the two sides will take, and also find a suitable Xiangjiang production team to join, which will be a big film project.

Li Yu will not be free until the second half of next year, and they will have a year to prepare for it.

Xu Ligong came to Xiangjiang to find investors and take risks together, this is Li Yu's first time making a martial arts film, it is still such a big investment, success or failure is undecided, it is always good to be able to attract investment.

In terms of financing, filmmakers in the Mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan have different mentalities.

Film and television companies in the mainland often like to invest on their own and are reluctant to involve other capital, one is the problem of grasping the right to speak in the process of filming, and the other is a mentality of eating alone.

I always feel that the intervention of other capital is to distribute the profits.

This is when the film can make money, and they don't think much about the fact that someone bears the loss when the film loses money.

In overseas film investment, it is more likely to adopt the method of equal benefit sharing and risk sharing.

The first thing they think about is not how much the film makes money, but how to lose less when they lose money and minimize the risk, which is the way for Hollywood studios to survive.

Xu Ligong saw the news that Lin Zixuan was in Xiangjiang, so he called the hotel.

The two met at the hotel to discuss the project "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and there were quite a few differences between the two sides.

Xu Ligong still insists on buying the adaptation rights of the original novel, and it is about all the film copyrights of the martial arts novels of the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" series, and wants to hold the copyright in his own hands.

For this, a high price of one million adaptation fees was given, because Li Yu talked to him about a trilogy plan.

If "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a success, Li Yu also wants to shoot a prequel, that is, the story of Li Mubai and Yu Xiulian.

The story between these two people is more in line with the artistic conception of Li Yu's mind and Chinese martial arts.

Therefore, Xu Ligong is so insistent, there is no copyright in hand, even if "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is successful, it is equivalent to making a wedding dress for others, and he has no benefit.

Of course, Lin Zixuan would not agree to this.

Regarding the investment amount, Lin Zixuan feels that 8 million US dollars is acceptable, and he can come up with 3 million US dollars, but the leading actors in the film must use mainland actors, and the film must be shot in the mainland.

Three million dollars is equivalent to the entire family of Good Dreams, but it doesn't have to be taken out all at once.

Lin Zixuan will not be so desperate, I am afraid that it will be the end of ninety-eight when the film is made, I believe that at that time, the good dream company will be able to come up with so much money, and it may even be more.

They also disagreed on the choice of actors and filming locations.

Xu Ligong prefers to use Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, because Hong Kong and Taiwan actors are more well-known, while Lin Zixuan thinks that the salary of Hong Kong and Taiwan actors is too high, the acting skills are average, and the cost performance is too low.

Lin Zixuan is unimpressed by the high remuneration of Hong Kong and Taiwan actors, and he is unwilling to use Hong Kong and Taiwan actors unless necessary.

Xu Ligong wanted to put the filming location on Treasure Island, which was his territory, and he could use a lot of resources to save costs.

Lin Zixuan insisted on shooting on the mainland, and the scenery and historical heritage of the mainland are not comparable to that of the treasure island.

This conversation did not reach any consensus except that everyone was interested in making this film, or it was unpleasant.

Lin Zixuan knew that this was just a temptation, if he was too good at talking, the other party would definitely gain an inch.

Negotiation is a process of mutual compromise, and it doesn't matter if you compromise in some places, but you will stay the course in the key places. (To be continued.) )
