73 Chapter 73
"Great, Linnaeus!" Qin Chuan exclaimed excitedly, "I knew you would definitely take this script, it was so perfect!" β
Linnaeus: "......"
Qin Chuan continued: "The investor has a request, I hope you will cooperate in the selection of the protagonist. β
Linnaeus hadn't come back to his senses yet: "...... I? β
"Yes," Qin Chuan said, "this is a requirement of the investor, you can work with me for casting." β
Seriously, Linnaeus wasn't very interested in that, especially now that she was in a state where she wasn't sure she could do her best job.
Linnaeus could only say: "The investor's requirements? β
It's weird.
"Yes, they think you're very discerning - so to speak, it's not early, I'm going to bed, and tomorrow if you have time, come to my studio, I'll be there all day."
Linnaeus looked up at the clock in the room - it was already early in the morning, and Qin Chuan had just started sleeping......
Linnaeus didn't know what was going on with the investor, but she was always the one who was chosen......
Why?
Linnaeus thought about this mess, and his spirit gradually relaxed, and he fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up again, it was already the third watch of the day.
She took her phone and saw that it was already noon.
She yawned and put on a dress she could wearβit was still a freshly bought, and all her clothes were in Cen Ruxi's house.
Linnaeus paused, patted his head, and forced himself not to think about Cen Ru's past.
Just then, her phone rang again.
The call was an unfamiliar number, Linnaeus thought about it, and still answered.
"Is it Miss Linnaeus?" The other party asked.
"Yes," the voice was a little familiar, but Linnaeus didn't remember for a moment whose voice it was.
"I don't know if you remember me, I'm Bai Hetar," the other party said, "I've met before." β
Linnaeus remembered that he had indeed seen it.
Not long ago, when I was preparing to shoot Alice, I heard about her, and I thought I could still cooperate, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't take that play.
"Yes, Miss Bai, I still remember you." Linnaeus said.
Bai Hetaro seemed to smile on the phone, she was the kind of person who was very gentle no matter how she spoke, she said: "Do you remember the villa you bought with Director Cen, it's like this, Director Cen has transferred this villa to your name, if you are free, ......"
"What did you say!" Linnaeus was taken aback, "Cen Ruxi? β
Bai Hetaro paused before saying, "Don't you know? β
Linnaeus held the phone and didn't say a word for a long time, the white crane taro on the other end of the phone seemed to be saying something to someone else, and then, a lazy female voice rang on the other end of the phone.
"Well, is it Linnaeus?" It's a very mature voice, with a bit of a slouchy and husky feel.
Linnaeus realized that there was a different person on the other end of the phone, she took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and she said, "Yes, hello. β
"Reich gave you the house, and some documents will be given to you, and she asked me to pass it on."
Linnaeus asked, "What?" β
She said that she had no intention of atoning for her sins, and that no one could force her to do that. But I think for what purpose she did these things, and what they were, Miss Linnaeus, you need to think for yourselfβ"
Linnaeus was stunned, only to feel that her chest was stuffy, and she said, "Thank you." β
She hung up.
She didn't know what kind of feelings she had in her heart at the moment, and she didn't want to know.
She didn't understand why things had come to this point.
What should I do? She asked herself.
But no one could answer her.
------------
Linnaeus came to Qin Chuan's studio - this place is not too big, and it feels like a mess, which shows that Qin Chuan is indeed a raunchy person, probably this is the so-called artist.
Pei Jiahe knew that the investor asked Linnaeus to participate in the casting, which was a very important link, but he let Linnaeus participate.
She leaned over to Qin Chuan's side and asked in a low voice, "Which investor asked for this?" β
Qin Chuan didn't answer.
Pei Jiahe said: "If you can make this kind of decision, it must be a major shareholder, if you don't say it, I will know in the end." β
Qin Chuan said: "Then you will know it in the end." β
Pei Jiahe: "......"
Qin Chuan's face was not good, and his tone of voice did not have the confidence he had before.
Linnaeus glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong with you, out of love?" β
Qin Chuan knew that Linnaeus was teasing him, and he was not in the mood to joke, but just sighed: "There is a company that has withdrawn, so it is not happening now." β
Linnaeus frowned: "Divestment? It's going to be cast now, isn't it, how can you still withdraw your investment? β
Qin Chuan sighed and didn't speak.
Qin Chuan's assistant is very young, a boy, and he seems to be a strong man, he heard Linnaeus ask this, and said indignantly: "Sister Lin, you are not an outsider, I will tell you directly, that thing really me off, it is the one who has a lot of drinks, he asked us to implant ads, to give them a close-up of the drink, neurosis, he is a drink, we are a costume play, how to implant?" Director Qin told him that this is an art film that must not be implanted in advertising, and the other party said, then let that Yang Sisi be the second female lead, Yang Sisi's reputation is so bad and ugly, how can he be the second female lead, they sponsored a few dollars and wanted to buy a female number two position, Director Qin was very angry, so he got into a fight with the other party, and the other party was even more angry, so he ...... Divested. β
Qin Chuan's temper is like this, and Linnaeus also knows it.
Qin Chuan heard the assistant say it all so honestly, and he was also irritable.
Linnaeus comforted: "It's not your fault, it's good that you stick to your principles." β
Pei Jiahe also said: "That's it, fortunately, you didn't use Yang Sisi, now Yang Sisi has just broken out of an unpatriotic scandal, if she joins the group, this movie will be really ruined." β
Qin Chuan frowned: "How can you shoot without money?" β
This film investor is not optimistic, and there are not many who are willing to invest money, and the withdrawal of Hiliduo Beverage has undoubtedly made the crew worse.
It was just right, but all of a sudden it was not enough.
Linnaeus knew that this movie was Qin Chuan's brainchild, and she frowned and asked, "How much worse." β
Qin Chuan said: "It's not much, three million, but all of our money has been invested, and we are all stretched." β
This is not a small-budget movie, three million may be enough for other movies, but Qin Chuan's movies pay attention to the sense of picture, and the music modeling is all first-class, and three million can't be taken out, so it can be seen that it is indeed exhausted.
Linnaeus frowned: "I have." β
Hearing her say this, Qin Chuan's eyes widened.
He lifted his glasses: "Really? β
"Well, you just think I'm an investor." Linnaeus said casually.
"It's really fake," Pei Jiahe seemed to be a little incredulous, even if she was an agent, she was not optimistic that Qin Chuan's movie would be a blockbuster.
Martial arts movies are also partial literary films, with an investment of tens of millions, and normal people don't believe that they will recover their costs.
Linnaeus had no idea that the film might lose money, and he didn't think about making money from it.
She doesn't have many friends, Qin Chuan is one, he likes his acting skills and is willing to give himself a chance, that's enough.
Qin Chuan was very excited: "Thank you Linnaeus, you are really a good classmate, touched and moved, a good person has a safe life!" β
Linnaeus: "......"
"Sincere thanks to Madame Linnaeus." Qin Chuan said sincerely again.
Linnaeus was a little helpless: "Okay, now that the funds are in place, let's talk about the movie." β
Qin Chuan said: "Well, I have a candidate for the two male protagonists in my heart, you can think about it." β
After all, Linnaeus is now an investor.
Linnaeus asked, "Who?" β
Qin Chuan said: "Ziyuan thinks that I intend to invite Guan Mingang, and Ziyuan's son belongs to Ling Yijing. β
The young boy beside him who had complained to Linnaeus just now frowned and said, "Director Qin, we have already contacted Guan Mingang, and they said that the salary is 25 million, which is more than our budget......"
Linnaeus frowned.
Guan Mingang is a top actor in China, he became famous at a young age, and has been active in the circle, although he is now in the age of no confusion, his charm is still the same, and he is a character with a very high status.
Such a veteran actor must be worth an extraordinary amount.
This movie is produced by Qin Chuan Studio, and the budget is very tight, if Guan Mingang does not reduce his salary, it will definitely not be enough.
Linnaeus said: "Have you considered changing roles?" What did Ling Yijing say over there? β
"Ling Yijing is okay to say, he is very friendly, and the agent is also easy to talk to, we have basically finalized him - and mainly our production team invited foreign and Japanese costume teams, which have also won Oscars." The young boy said.
Linnaeus thought it was strange: "Why did a costume film designer invite a foreign country?" β
"Isn't it just a gimmick!" Qin Chuan was also a little helpless when he said this, "There is no gimmick, how can you sell movies?" β
It's really strange that a person like Qin Chuan would bend his waist for five buckets of rice?
"It's not necessary at all," said Linnaeus, "is it possible that Chinese people will come to you for this Japanese costume design when they watch martial arts movies?" If the costume is made and flavorful, it will be over. β
Qin Chuan frowned: "Actually...... Those clothing teams in China are higher than their asking price. β
Linnaeus has also made costume movies, usually she shoots director's works with some reputation, this kind of commercial film is large-scale and has a sufficient budget, it must be very eye-catching, and the box office will not be too bad.
And Qin Chuan's kind will obviously not be affirmed by the industry.
Linnaeus thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of a person.
"I asked a friend," she said. β
She remembered that she hadn't filmed "Alice in Wonderland" before, wasn't the main person in charge of the costume team inviting Bai Hetaro?
Bai Tsuru is not a movie costume prop designer, but a fashion designer.
Does this also mean that she and Qin Chuan can also find another way to find fashion designers to participate?
