Chapter 322: Funding "Struggle"
Chapter 322 Capital Injection "Struggle"
After staying in Chang~Sha for a day, the crew of "Baby Project" continued to go south, Shenzhen~Shenzhen, Guangzhou~Zhou, and Xiang~Hong Kong are all cities that are scheduled to focus on publicity, but Yang Lin had to go back to Beijing, because the week's leave he took had run out and he had to go back to the crew of "Struggle" to report.
"Director Zhao, I'm not late, am I?" Yang Lin looked at Zhao Baogang, whose face was complicated, and then asked. He didn't know what had happened to the crew during the week, so he looked at the article with inquiring eyes.
The article bit his lip, shook his head slightly, and then motioned for him to come over and speak.
"Recently, I heard that Xinbaoyuan Company has a little bit of financial problems, and it is a large company, and its working capital cannot be turned over temporarily, and the crew of "Struggle" is burning money every day, so it is difficult to pay, and now the crew is on the verge of temporarily suspending filming."
Yang Lin frowned, "How can this be?" Didn't you give all the money at once? What else do you want Xin Baoyuan to do slowly? It's not like such a big company starts investing in TV dramas in a day or two, and you should know that it will take a long time to recover the cost. ”
The article shrugged his shoulders, looking like he didn't care about himself, and he said softly: "Director Zhao's temper is getting worse and worse, he has to lose his temper every day, and he will be scolded if he doesn't do a little thing well." Be mentally prepared. ”
Yang Lin looked at Zhao Baogang, who was worried about money, he knew that with Zhao Baogang's reputation, it was not a problem to pull investment, and now he was not afraid that he would not be able to pull money, but he was worried that Xin Baoyuan would lose a lot of income after pulling it, which was what he did not want to see.
Yang Lin had a small unformed idea in his heart, although "Struggle" claimed to be an investment of 20 million, but at best it was only about 10 million. Yang Lin felt that he could still get a few million, and this TV series has the potential to be a big hit, and it is very easy to easily get back the cost and make a lot of money.
He walked to Zhao Baogang's side, and then looked at his increasingly haggard face, his eyes were also bloodshot, and he seemed to be worried. He looked at Yang Lin, and then said stiffly, "Are you ready?" I didn't put on makeup, I didn't change my clothes, are you going to film like this? ”
Zhu Yuchen and the others were holding their arms and waiting to see Yang Lin's jokes, and he said happily: "Look at him, it's boring to talk about yourself." thought that now that he was famous, the director would not scold him. Hehe, I really want to see him scolded by the head. ”
Li Xiaolu said a little unnaturally: "There's no need to be so bad, it's not good for us." She looked at Zhu Yuchen with some concern, and pulled away without a trace.
Yang Lin has always been a thorn in Zhu Yuchen's heart, if he can see his unlucky appearance, Zhu Yuchen feels happier than winning the award.
"Director, are you still worried about money?" Yang Lin didn't answer his words, but said straight to the point, not shying away from anything at all.
Zhao Bao straightened up, and then looked at Yang Lin with blood-red eyes, "Yes, what's wrong?" Do you have any good suggestions? "It's just a matter of passing words, and there's no hope he'll be able to fix it.
Yang Lin sat next to him, and then said softly: "I can solve it, it depends on whether you are willing or not." ”
Zhao Baogang turned around suddenly, how long had it been since he heard someone talking to him in this tone. He was interested, and he didn't know how Yang Lin would solve it.
"You're short of money now, can't I just give it? How else can you suggest? Yang Lin felt that he must take advantage of this opportunity to win part of the investment, which was a godsend, and it could be regarded as an investment by Yang Lin before the establishment of the studio. Even without anyone's consultation, Yang Lin knew that this was a sure win.
Zhao Baogang patted his thigh, and then said: "It's not that I'm bad at money, but the money can't be turned around for the time being, and it will be in a few days." And we don't need a little bit of money, millions or tens of millions. ”
Yang Lin knew that he was just hard-mouthed, and the purpose was just to solicit more benefits, but Yang Lin was too lazy to talk to him, and it was the right solution to cut the mess quickly, what if the finances of Xinbaoyuan Company suddenly became normal? Wouldn't that be a waste of saliva?
He continued to add weights, "Don't worry about my money, at least investing in one TV series should be more than enough, there will be millions, and my album dividends, salary, and endorsement fees add up to tens of millions." Five million investment, without any terms, only accounts for 30% of the investor, and does not point fingers during filming or post-production, it is all up to you to command, what do you think? ”
Yang Lin was generous enough, as soon as he came out, it was five million, and he didn't blink his eyes, and this money didn't seem to be worth mentioning to him. This made Zhao Baogang can't help but look at him again, he is wearing all the clothes given by the spokesperson, although he looks young and fashionable, but the price is definitely not expensive, and he usually doesn't see that he is so rich.
Zhu Yuchen watched the two of them talking in a low voice, what he was expecting did not appear at all, and he roared with a twisted face: "How can this be? Is it because he is famous, he is treated differently? As for the constant laughter like this? ”
Li Xiaolu and the others were very unhappy to stay away from him, it would be better not to contact such a madman.
The rest of the staff on the set didn't dare to go up to remind Zhao Baogang that it was time to shoot, so they shirked each other, "Go ahead, Director Zhao will definitely praise you." ”
"Then it's better for you to go, it's all yours to praise or something." "Hehe, this chance is yours."
They hadn't seen Zhao Baogang smile for a long time, and now they went to interrupt him, who knew what would happen?
The article said to Ma Yili: "This Yang Lin has a way, Director Zhao, who is so impatient, actually told him to laugh and laugh, and he really has him." ”
Zhao Baogang only thought about it for less than a second, he shook his head slightly, "I still tend to invest independently, there are more investors, it is easy to have conflicts, and I said that the crew can still last a few days now, maybe it will be fine after a few days?" ”
Yang Lin knew very well that the price he offered was not attractive enough, and these were his words. It wasn't a lie that money could make the devil grind, he thought about his limits, and then continued: "What if after a few days, the finances don't improve?" Still can't come up with the money? So what about the crew? Is it going to be disbanded? ”
Zhao Baogang was speechless for a moment, he also knew that it depended on luck, no one knew what would happen in a few days, in case the filming really stopped, the loss would be great.
Yang Lin looked at his hesitant face, and then said, "That's it, I'll give another million." 6 million to buy 30% of the investment, what do you think? ”
"Our "Struggle" claims to have an investment of 20 million, but you only have 6 million, less than one-third? Isn't that a bit too much? ”
Yang Lin heard that there was a play! This is Zhao Baogang looking for favorable factors for his negotiations, and wants to ask for a sky-high price.
However, Yang Lin is not the first day to enter the entertainment industry, although he is not familiar with the curves and curves inside, he still knows something. He shook his head and said with a smile: "Director Zhao, you are not honest in what you say. You yourself say that you claim to invest 20 million, but how much is the actual investment you are ready to make? Is there 10 million? I also know that this kind of urban fashion drama has so many product placement ads, and many places don't need to spend money, what are you doing with so much money? ”
Zhao Baogang explained a little palely: "I don't know that oil and salt are expensive. There are so many people in the entire crew, and it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars every day, and we don't need money for the tools we shoot with tapes? Don't you need money for post-production? There are so many places to spend money that it's not surprising that you don't know. ”
Both of them have meaning, but now is the time for Yang Lin to sit on the ground and pay back the money. He said unhurriedly: "I think Xin Baoyuan can provide you with a maximum of five million, and I gave six million, and there are no terms, all by you, I just wait for the final dividend." ”
I have to say that Yang Lin's conditions are very tempting, Zhao Baogang wanted to agree several times, but seeing Yang Lin so refreshing, he was puzzled, he knocked on the arm of the chair, and then asked: "Then why did you spend so much money to invest?" Isn't that a loss? ”
"No, no, no, I am very confident in this TV series, even if the protagonist is not me, it will definitely be popular all over the country. Now with me, there's no problem in becoming a much-anticipated TV series. Speaking of this, Yang Lin is very confident, he is now a popular among first-line stars.
He continued: "I am the starring actor myself, and I know in my heart that if such a TV series is not popular, then the audience's vision and appreciation level will be problematic." ”
The happy and secretly sharp conversation between the two of them made everyone on the set wait, and no one dared to disturb them, even Zhu Yuchen, who was jealous, could only sit on the side and lose his temper. Although he didn't like Yang Lin, his brain was not broken, and it was extremely unwise to make a move at this time.
"I can only say that this is the biggest price I can pay, I can't invest all my money in "Struggle", I will set up my own studio next year, and then it will be the time to use the money, and I should not have sold it at that time, right? My conditions can be said to be very favorable, and my studio will consider cooperating with you in any film and television in the future. ”
Anyway, now that the studio is still in the water, Yang Lin is writing empty checks, and I'll talk about it when the time comes.
Zhao Baogang stood up, took a deep breath, and then high-fived Yang Lin and said, "Okay, that's it, I'll have someone draft a contract later, and you can find a lawyer to get it done as soon as possible, so that we don't have to worry about stopping filming!" ”
