Lin Xiaozhi was just about to speak, when suddenly he had an idea.

Isn't that a good opportunity? He hinted at Wang Jiaan last time, hoping that the company could shoot "I'm Crazy for Qing" for a sum of money, but Wang Jiaan pretended to be deaf and dumb and did not reply. Now that he's going to block his gun, isn't that a good opportunity?

His head turned quickly, and after having this thought, the corners of his mouth also curved an arc, and he took over the topic and said: "What Mr. Wang said makes sense, Xinya's current situation is really not good, before a movie is released, no one dares to pat his chest 100%, and he is sure that it will definitely make money." Zheng Sheng, you may be very confident in your films, but please forgive me the company's current difficulties, about the investment in films, Xinya does need to be very cautious, I agree with Mr. Wang's strategy, for the time being, the company will invest in one or two small-cost films first, and it is best to participate in the investment partially, so that we can also share a considerable dividend when the film is a big hit, and the risk of loss is also shared by several companies, so that it will not be lost! I took this into account before, so I asked a screenwriter friend in the circle for a script like this, the investment cost is only about one million, and, in terms of the subject matter, it should not cause the company to lose money. ”

As he spoke, he had already opened his briefcase, took out the two scripts that he had copied before, and handed them to Wang Jia'an and Zheng Zeshi respectively. He has always carried the script of "I'm Crazy for Qing" with him, and he has nothing to do in the company anyway, Lin Xiaozhi has opened it in the past few days, and as he watched most of it, he also revised all the small problems in the script.

"My script, called "I'm Crazy for Qing", is an urban romance drama with a special theme, and the reason why it has a special theme is because this movie should be a love story strictly speaking. Desire. Lun. Film, both of them are dealing with movies, they should be very clear about what these words mean? ”

Wang Jia'an frowned slightly, he said before that Lin Xiaozhi would have a good script to come up with, and the company considered investing in filming just to deal with Zheng Zeshi's forced palace. He had already imagined in his heart that it was impossible for Lin Xiaozhi to carry the script with him, and the next time he brought it, he would find an excuse to send this gentleman away. didn't expect that this Lin Shaohui would carry the script with him, and now it has evolved into a situation of forcing the palace for the second time, and with Zheng Zeshi on the side, he has said everything, and he can't make excuses.

With a stiff smile on his face, he took the script and flipped through it.

But it was Zheng Zeshi, who heard the 'love'. Desire. Lun. When he was managing the film, he was unexpectedly a little surprised, and actually took the script, but he didn't open it, and took the initiative to ask: "Love." Desire. Lun. Slice? This theme is not easy to shoot, and the investment is indeed not too high, but if the script is too bad and there are no qualified actors, it will be difficult to sell well......"

Although his voice was still cold, he had never given Lin Xiaozhi a good look in the past few days, which made Lin Xiaozhi, who had always wanted to have a good relationship with this person in the circle, feel helpless. Now his posture has changed greatly.

Lin Xiaozhi simply took this opportunity to talk to him in detail about the general story outline of the movie.

“…… From the plot point of view, the plot of "I'm Crazy for Qing" is a little simpler. However, I think the main selling point of this movie is not the plot at all, but the bed scenes and dew point dramas in the movie, and the plot only plays a role in adding points to the box office. Looking at the past box office in Hong Kong, there are several films with this genre that have become box office dark horses every year, which is why I finally chose this movie. In terms of directing, I tend to choose Hong Kong. Desire. Film master He Fan, his "Rapunzel" and several other classics have influenced the entire Hong Kong situation to this day. Desire. Slice. On the issue of starring, I don't think I need to pay much attention to the male lead, although this role runs through the whole movie, but the highlight of the whole movie is several heroines and the second male lead. I have considered Charlie Cao before, but each of his movies with out-of-play scenes costs more than 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, and if he is chosen, it will seriously affect the cost of the movie, so I still need to choose another actor with good acting skills. ”

Zheng Zeshi sneered and glanced at Wang Jia'an, "It seems that Assistant Lin is very prepared!" ”

Lin Xiaozhi didn't argue with him either, and continued: "As for a few actresses, I tend to choose Ye Yuqing, the third runner-up of the 85-year-old Asian sister, Qiu Yueqing, last year's Asian sister champion, and Taiwanese baby Qiu Yuru. I have already contacted Ye Yuqing, and she has agreed to join. I haven't contacted Qiu Yueqing, but I heard that she has a relatively bold private life and often goes in and out of nightclubs, as long as the salary is high enough, I believe she will accept the invitation. If she is willing to join, with the third runner-up and champion of the second sister, it is not impossible for the movie to become popular before it is made. As for Taiwan's baby Qiu Yuru, two years ago, her popularity when she helped the 'Taiwan Power Football Team' shoot a promotional video has passed, and she has worked hard in Hong Kong in the past two years, but she has been half-popular, and the value of several movies has not exceeded 150,000 Taiwan dollars (about 36,000 Hong Kong dollars), but there has been a downward trend. I've seen several of her films, many of which are large-scale scenes, and if we offer a price of 200,000 or even 300,000 Taiwan dollars, I believe she will not be able to refuse......"

He said so much in one breath that he couldn't help but feel a little thirsty, so he walked to the water dispenser on the side, took a glass of water for himself, and drank it clean in one go.

For the movie "I'm Crazy for Qing", I have to say that Lin Xiaozhi has been preparing for a long time, and he has seriously considered the choice of several heroines. For example, last year's Asian sister champion Qiu Yueqing, and the Taiwanese baby Qiu Yuru, who was very famous in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the past two years.

Backed by the big tree of ATV, the crew is not a difficult thing for the new Asia with a leather bag, and it is necessary to apply directly with ATV, and generally pay a salary of more than two or three hundred thousand yuan for the crew to be seconded to the small and medium-sized crew. This is also the reason why Shaw Brothers was able to become a Hong Kong film production factory in the sixties and seventies, when other film companies were still asking for tens of thousands of dollars for a props group, an excellent photographer, and an excellent palm lamp with 200,000 yuan, Shaw Brothers Films relied on its relationship with TVB to directly package and seconded the crew, and the cost was naturally reduced a lot.

The director is the top priority of a movie, but Lin Xiaozhi never planned to shoot it himself from the beginning, but directly chose He Fan, the master of Hong Kong erotic films. Although there is no concept of tertiary films now, this kind of movie that relies on meat scenes, bed scenes and off-the-scenes to sell is not on the stage after all, and he is only ready to hang the identity of a producer in the movie. When Hong Kong films were in recession in later generations, directors and actors made third-class films one after another for the sake of profit. However, the top stars and directors did not become famous by relying on tertiary films, even if they had filmed tertiary films, they couldn't wait to delete that period of history after becoming famous, and they didn't want to go around publicizing that they had filmed.

In terms of the actor, Lin Xiaozhi took a fancy to Jiang Hua, who had a relationship with him before, and the copy of Liu Dehua is now unable to receive a play on ATV, Lin Xiaozhi believes that he should be able to convince him. The only thing that gives him a headache now is the role of the second male lead with a lot of scenes, Charlie Cao is definitely the most suitable choice, but his asking price is too high, and Lin Xiaozhi can't find a more suitable candidate for a while, so he can only continue to turn around ATV to see if he can meet a more suitable artist.

It can be said that except for a male number two who has not yet been settled, Lin Xiaozhi has almost prepared for this movie.

Wang Jia'an and Zheng Zeshi obviously heard what he meant, from the selection of the protagonist to the director, he already has a candidate, and the script is ready-made. What "I'm Crazy for You" is currently lacking is an investment, as long as the money arrives, the movie can basically start filming at any time.

Zheng Zeshi flipped through a few pages of the script, but didn't see any obvious problems, although he was unhappy, he also admitted that the script was also done seriously, obviously it was not a temporary rush to get it, just to fool his work, and he couldn't help but feel less unhappy with Lin Xiaozhi. Since he entered the industry in 72, Zheng Zeshi has been in the circle for many years, his vision and experience are enough, and after the evil fire in his heart was shouted at Wang Jia'an just now, his mind became clear when he thought about it.

He thought about it carefully, and felt more and more that this Lin Xiaozhi was just temporarily pulled by Wang Jia'an to divert part of his anger, and at that moment the evil fire in his heart rose again, and he said unhappily: "Mr. Wang, I came today to wait for your words." Will you give the rest of the money for my new movie? At least give me a letter of approval! ”

Wang Jia'an frowned, "Zheng Sheng, didn't we all say it before, the current situation of Xinya is not good, you should have heard of the current situation of ATV, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to have any more funds in a short time." It is too risky for us to invest wholly in one movie, and we have limited funds to diversify our investment in several films, so that even if it is risky, it will not collapse New Asia all at once. ”

"In other words, you'd rather use the money that should have been made to shoot "Maoshan Taoist Fighting Zombies" to invest in some erotic films than give it to me, right?" Zheng Zeshi's face was gloomy.

Wang Jia'an glanced at Lin Xiaozhi next to him, but saw that he was only standing in front of the water dispenser to refill himself, looking 'concentrated', as if he hadn't heard the mockery in Zheng Zeshi's words at all. had to reply stubbornly: "Zheng Sheng, Lin Shao has also been preparing for a long time, and what he said is not wrong, there are several erotic films that sell well every year." If there is no problem with this script, New Asia will consider part of the investment to participate in the filming. Please understand that our current poor financial situation does not allow full investment in filming! ”

Lin Xiaozhi's eyes lit up on one side, and what he wanted was this sentence.

However, Zheng Zeshi's mood was completely bad, and he snorted coldly, "Since Mr. Wang is unwilling, then there is no need to say more." I will call Qiu Sheng to ask about this matter, and I will find a way to solve the remaining investment in the film myself. But Mr. Wang, we need to sign a new contract for the film and say goodbye......"

After speaking, he turned around and pushed the door out, and then slammed the door of the office, not giving Wang Jia'an any face, making his face blue and white for a while, and it took him a long time to remember that there was also Lin Xiaozhi in his office, squeezing out an ugly smile on his face, and said, "Lin Shao, let you see the joke." New Asia is struggling now, and it's difficult for me, the president, to do it! ”

"Brother Cat will understand, he is also angry for a while, but ATV's stinginess!" Lin Xiaozhi replied quietly, and then turned the topic to the movie, "Mr. Wang, just now you said that you want to invest in the script "I'm Crazy for Qing" I got, right?" I don't know if Lu Dao's words still count? ”

As soon as his words fell, the smile on Wang Jia'an's face froze, Lin Xiaozhi clearly saw the ups and downs of his cheeks, and the office was quiet for more than ten seconds before he heard him reply: "This, this is natural." As long as there is no problem with the script, the company will definitely participate in the investment. Of course, Lin Shao. As I said before, New Asia's finances are very bad now, and if the script is okay, we can only invest a sum of money, and it is impossible to invest it wholly. ”

He kept biting the words 'the script is no problem', but he left room for maneuver.

Lin Xiaozhi just wanted to continue fighting, but suddenly seemed to remember something, smiled and nodded without arguing, he was still very confident in the script.

After the two chatted a few more words, they remembered that Wang Jia'an had just quarreled with Zheng Zeshi before, and Lin Xiaozhi didn't stay in his office for long, and after leaving him a script, he left Wang Jia'an's office, and after sitting in the lobby office for a while, he went to the ATV building as usual.

After Lin Xiaozhi left, Wang Jia'an sat in the office, frowned at his script for a while, and then summoned Secretary Wu, and after confirming that Lin Xiaozhi was gone, he put down the script, picked up the phone on his desk, and dialed a number.

"Hey ......"

The phone rang for a while, and it was only then that I heard a connection, and a young voice came.

Although there was a phone between the two, when the young man spoke up, Wang Jia'an on the other side of the phone was already respectful, and seemed to have forgotten that the person on the other side of the phone could not see it.

"Le Shao, I am Wang Jia'an, the president of Xinya Films!" His voice was very humble, "Fang Cai Lin Shao took a script over, hoping that the company can invest in him to shoot, you can see ......"

"Oh?"

The voice on the other side of the phone suddenly rose a few times, Wang Jia'an listened carefully, and seemed to hear a few low laughter on the other side of the phone, and it took a long time for the owner of the voice to ask: "He took a script, what script?" ”

"Well, the script of a movie!" Wang Jia'an hesitated for a moment before answering him.

"Poof......" This time he heard it clearly, and there was a burst of laughter on the other side of the phone, and it took a long time to stop, "Erotic films, yes, but also in line with his usual style." Ha Lu Ha ......"

"That, Le Shao......" Wang Jia settled down, "You mean, do you want Xinya to allocate funds to him......"

"Dial, why don't you dial? I'd like to see what kind of movie he can make! In a word, it contained a strong sense of ridicule, but the male voice quickly changed his tone, "But it's not easy to make money, and you can't give him a toss in vain, so let's wait for me to ask the finance side to allocate another one million to you Xinya, so that ATV's agreement with Qiu Sheng to allocate five million within one year can be regarded as complete." After that, ATV will no longer provide free grants for New Asia. You also have to take care of it over there, and whether Xinya can keep it in the future depends on your performance this year! ”

"Yes, yes, Le Shao, don't worry, I will do a good job here!"

"Well, as for how much money he wants to allocate over there, you can see for yourself. Remember what I told you earlier......"

"Yes, Le Shao doesn't want moths in the company, I know what to do......"
