"Yuquan, did you really pitch a script to Director Zhang?" Xiao Yang looked at Lin Yuquan suspiciously, he had known him for so long, he had never heard him mention that he was writing a script before!

"Why am I lying to you! Of course, I really gave the script to Director Zhang. Lin Yuquan smiled bitterly, he was going to keep a low profile, but he didn't expect that he accidentally leaked his mouth like Wang Luodan and was caught by Xiao Yang and Zhu Yawen.

"Okay, you Lin Yuquan, you still hide such a big thing from us, do you still treat all of us as friends." Xiao Yang hadn't spoken yet, and Zhu Yawen next to him was already chattering.

And then Xiao Yang also looked at him with complaining eyes, and said complainingly: "That's it, in vain we treat you as my best friend, and you actually treat us like this." ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuquan's scalp was numb for a while, and he secretly said that he was self-inflicted, fortunately, Jiang Yan and Luo Jin went to participate in the audition for TV series roles, otherwise he would be even more miserable now.

Just when Lin Yuquan was miserable by what the two said, the familiar mobile phone rang.

Looking at the caller's name note above, Lin Yuquan's heart suddenly beat violently, and then hurriedly made a "shhh" gesture to the noisy two, then picked up the phone and said loudly: "Hello, Director Zhang." ”

Hearing Lin Yuquan's name, Xiao Yang and Zhu Yawen next to them reacted not much better than Lin Yuquan, thinking of a certain possibility, the two immediately closed their voices and pricked up their ears to listen carefully.

"Xiaolin, I have read the script you sent, but I didn't expect that not only is your martial arts instructor level good, but even the script is so wonderful." Even through the microphone, Lin Yuquan could feel Zhang Yi's appreciative attitude.

"Hehe, Director Zhang, you praise me too much, by the way, I don't know what happened to the script?" Lin Yuquan asked with some apprehension, he knew that since Zhang Yi called, there must be a final result.

"Your script, Wei Ping and I both think it's good, we discussed it, and we're going to buy it as the company's future script reserve, what do you think of 50,000 yuan, if you can, come to the company in the afternoon to sign the contract." Zhang Yi said heartily.

"50,000", this price is a bit unexpected by Lin Yuquan, at present, in China, the script of the average newcomer is only 20,000 or 30,000, obviously New Picture Pictures is indeed very generous.

However, he didn't have any excitement in his heart, he was more concerned about the filming of the movie.

"That Director Zhang, I don't know when the movie is going to be filmed? And how much investment budget will there be? ”

"I don't have a detailed plan yet, but the scenes involved in your film are huge, and the investment amount will definitely not be small, and I have already had corresponding film arrangements in the past two or three years, and I can't be busy for the time being, it is estimated that it will take a few years, and then I will see if I take over, or ask director Ye Weixin or director Yu Yantai from Hong Kong to shoot."

Zhang Yi's voice sounded clearly in Lin Yuquan's ears, and a feeling of disappointment swept over him irrepressibly, even though he knew that with his age and qualifications, this was a normal thing, but he still felt extremely bitter.

The script that has been written with great pains, but he can't control the filming right of the script at all, this is the reality of the screenwriter's helplessness, and the investors subconsciously consider becoming a famous director, which also makes it more and more difficult for young directors to come out.

"Director Zhang, can I make the movie? I wrote this script, no one knows better than me about the shooting concept of the movie, and the biggest selling point of this movie is the four fight scenes, you know, my action direction level is not bad, in fact, now I have a complete fight action design in my mind, I believe that if I were the director, the fight scenes of this movie would definitely be very popular, not only to make people's blood boil, but also to bring a huge return on investment to New Picture Pictures. Lin Yuquan said excitedly.

"You're going to shoot?" Zhang Yi was a little surprised by Lin Yuquan's bold idea, and then thought of the amazing impression he left on him before, if it was really handed over to him to shoot, he couldn't help but think about it for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it was, so he pondered for a moment before slowly saying: "It's not impossible for you to be the director, but this movie is not small, and it is conservatively estimated that at least tens of millions of dollars will be invested, and Wei Ping will definitely not agree to hand it over to you to shoot at once, the risk is too great." In this way, you first come to Xinxiang to be my director's assistant, and I will inspect your directorial level, and when the time is ripe, I will apply for a film investment quota of less than 3 million for you, and you will make a movie, if the film can be profitable or award-winning, I think that Shi Weiping can also rest assured that this movie will be handed over to you to shoot. ”

"Director Zhang, is this the only way?" Lin Yuquan asked unwillingly.

"It's the best I can think of." Zhang Yi smiled bitterly, he is not the boss after all, and the investment of tens of millions of dollars will not be handed over to a fledgling young man.

"Director Zhang, thank you for your kindness, but my film must start filming in the last two or three months, so that it can be released in time for this year's Chinese New Year, if it really doesn't work, I'll find another way." This construction is really good, and it also fully shows Zhang Yimou's appreciation and value for him, Lin Yuquan is very grateful in his heart, but seeing that Huang Shengyi's movie has started shooting, he really can't wait, and since he has made up his mind, he will definitely find ways to do it.

"Xiaolin, you are still very young, don't worry, I can assure you, according to my method, you will be able to shoot this movie in three years at most, you are less than 21 years old this year, even if you are only 24 years old in three years, 24 years old directing a movie with an investment of tens of millions, you are the youngest in the domestic film industry, even in the whole of Asia." Hearing Lin Yuquan's resolute tone, Zhang Yi was inevitably a little anxious, and hurriedly persuaded on the phone.

"Thank you, Director Zhang! But I do have my own reasons for having to make this film this year, and I know the idea will be difficult to come true, but anyway, I'm going to give it another try and do my best. Lin Yuquan didn't understand Zhang Yi's good intentions, but before he reached a desperate moment, how could he give up.

"Hey, what a stubborn boy, well! When you change your mind, call me anytime, my door is always open to you. Zhang Yi's voice on the phone was a little tired.

"Well, okay, Director Zhang, then I won't bother you now, goodbye!"

"What's the matter, Director Zhang is unwilling to invest?" As soon as Lin Yuquan put down the phone, Xiao Yang and the two leaned over and asked.

"Hmm." Lin Yuquan nodded, his words a little low.

"It's okay, isn't it just that Director Zhang doesn't invest? There are so many film companies in Kyoto, there are no new pictures, and there are hundreds of Kyoto Forbidden City Pictures, Kyoto Film Studios, Huayi Brothers, Bona Films, and Century Heroes waiting for us. Xiao Yang patted Lin Yuquan on the shoulder.

"Yes, without Butcher Zhang, can I still eat without pork?" Zhu Yawen also said freely.

"It's useless." Lin Yuquan smiled bitterly: "It's different from what you think, my movie is a large-scale production that needs to invest at least tens of millions, and I handed over the script to Director Zhang, mainly because Director Zhang appreciates me more, and the new picture is one of the few film companies in the domestic entertainment industry that is willing to invest a lot, if you don't even invest in the new picture, then the possibility of investment by other film companies is even more minimal, and the purpose of writing the script is not only to invest in the film company, but also to be the director and make the movie myself." ”

If you want to make a kung fu movie like "Huo Yuanjia" well, you must invite kung fu superstars such as Li Lianjie, Zhen Zidan, and Zhao Wenzhuo to join in terms of actors, and other important roles in the film, such as Chen Zhen, Liu Zhensheng, Liu Yiran, and the four major fighting characters, are not just any actor who can do it.

The investment of tens of millions is actually a small amount, if Li Lianjie is willing to play Huo Yuanjia, and the other roles use an all-star cast, and the scenes are more exquisitely arranged, then the investment is barely enough to be at least hundreds of millions.

But looking at the country, there are a few film companies that can have such a big hand, and a few directors can enjoy the treatment of such an investment, and there are only three people, Zhang Yi, Chen Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang.

It is tantamount to a fool's dream that he Lin Yuquan wants to get such a huge investment from the film company, and he actually expected this result.

"Tens of millions, you're sure you're not kidding." Xiao Yang's tongue trembled and stammered.

"Do you think I'm joking?" Lin Yuquan looked at the two seriously.

Xiao Yang and Zhu Yawen looked at each other, with indescribable shock on their faces, they originally thought that Lin Yuquan was just like Ning Hao, secretly wrote the movie script they wanted to make, with a budget of tens of millions at most, who knew that this guy would play such a big battle as soon as he played, no wonder the new picture didn't invest, anyway, it would be strange if he would invest? At present, there are still a lot of films in Hong Kong that have invested tens of millions, but only a few people in China such as Zhang Yi, Chen Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang have received such a large investment.

"What then?" Faced with this situation, the two of them really had no choice, so they could only look at Lin Yuquan helplessly.

"What else can I do? Keep raising money to make movies! Lin Yuquan sighed, although he was a little disappointed, but because he had been prepared, his self-confidence was not hit too hard, not to mention that he also had backup means, not completely hopeless.

"Raise money."

"That's tens of millions!"

Xiao Yang and Zhu Yawen gasped, they couldn't imagine how to make such a huge investment, as far as they knew, Lin Yuquan's parents were only university professors, maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars would not be too much pressure on their family, but tens of millions, there are not too many rich people who are willing to spend so much money to invest in movies, is this guy stimulated? I started talking nonsense.

Lin Yuquan didn't care about the strange expressions of the two of them looking at him, his hands subconsciously shook hands, and his eyes looked into the distance with complicated eyes, in fact, he had the memory of a cultivator and he had many ways to make money, but most of the methods took a long time, and required him to invest a lot of energy, and it was undoubtedly very difficult for him to get tens of millions in a short period of time at the moment.

Now we can only hope that the cultivator's experience in that area will really work.

can only hope for this, Lin Yuquan really has no bottom in his heart.

Ever since he got the cultivator's memory, Lin Yuquan had been thinking about how to make the most of this precious wealth.

And making money is one of the most important purposes, so he has worked hard to find a lot of information and racked his brains.

It wasn't until he happened to see a news report about gambling stones and getting rich that Lin Yuquan began to pay attention to the information about gambling stones and jadeite, and those extremely precious jadeite and jade stones brought him a deep touch, and at this time, he also found memories about jade in the memories of cultivators.

For cultivators, refining talismans is the basic means, so almost every cultivator is good at finding and distinguishing materials, and jade is also a commonly used material in refining talismans, so cultivators have a considerable amount of jade knowledge stored in their memories, and even gambling stones, which is also popular in that world, cultivators also have rich experience.

However, because of the different geology, there were still some differences between the jade jade of that world and the jade jade of the earth, and Lin Yuquan didn't know if it really worked with the knowledge and experience of cultivators. And because he was busy with the study of directing before, he didn't bother to find an opportunity to verify it.

But this is Lin Yuquan's last hope in the short term, if it really doesn't work, he can only try to make money by other methods, but in that case, at least for a year or two, he will not be able to shoot "Huo Yuanjia".

"Don't worry, I'll have a way." Lin Yuquan chuckled, but his gaze was extremely resolute.

"Method, what can you do?" Xiao Yang was a little deflated.

"Yuquan, why don't you just write a script with a small investment and then give it to Director Zhang." Zhu Yawen also felt that his fundraising was incredible, so he built a way.

"I'll try it first, and I'll talk about it then." Lin Yuquan shook his head without thinking, a small investment movie can't achieve the effect he wants, although he doesn't have to beat "Kung Fu", but at least he can't lose too ugly, otherwise he will talk about anything more successful than Huang Shengyi.

"You guy." The two of them, who knew Lin Yuquan's temper, did not continue to persuade them.

Lin Yuquan did not have any delay, as soon as he returned home, he immediately booked a flight to Kunming, and flew directly to Kunming, Yunnan Province the next day.
