After hesitating for a while, Zhang Guorong relented and politely refused: "Lin Sheng, I won't read this script." I'm really sorry, I just picked up a movie not long ago, and I ...... because the filming schedule may collide."

The implication is already obvious

Lin Xiaozhi was stunned, as the boss of Xinya Records, the play he handed was rejected by Zhang Guorong, which in itself is a very embarrassing and annoying thing. Lin Xiaozhi is not a saint, but he was a little unhappy in his heart for a moment. However, he still understands the principle of first come, first come, and quietly withdrew the hand he handed out, and the smile on his face faded a little, "Since it was made an appointment before, it was naturally no choice."

After the script of "Love Letter" was processed by him and a lot of tear-inciting plots were added to later generations, Lin Xiaozhi was very confident in the script. He is sure that this movie can hit the throne of the most touching love movie in Chinese, since Zhang Guorong has no time to act, it doesn't matter, anyway, his role in the movie is just a sworn friend of the actor Chen Baiqiang in middle school, and he is not indispensable.

However, Lin Xiaozhi's performance was bland, but Zhang Guorong frowned, and sighed in his heart that it seemed that the new boss still had a bad impression in his heart.

After thinking for a while, he continued to explain: "Lin Sheng, I'm really sorry this time. In fact, Mr. Xu Ke just contacted me a few days ago and said that "A Chinese Ghost Story" is ready to start filming. A few years ago, Director Xu's movie became popular with Ah Xian, and he asked me to play the starring role this time, even if it was just to repay the favor, I couldn't refuse"

"Old Monster Xu is going to shoot "A Chinese Ghost Story", ......"

Lin Xiaozhi's heart moved, his face was a little better, and he nodded and said, "It's natural, but I didn't coordinate it......"

Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and then several waiters entered the private room with wine and food, but they ordered the dishes.

"Miss Chen, Danny, let's put these mundane things aside, and you can take the script back and read it. Let's have dinner first, and we'll talk about the new album after dinner......"

After sending off Chen Jiaying, Chen Baiqiang, and Zhang Guorong, Lin Xiaozhi drove to the company. Fortunately, the four of them are not the kind of people who are good at drinking, and they only drank a few glasses symbolically during the lunch meal, but it was no problem with his amount of alcohol, and he opened most of the car windows along the way, and let the December sea breeze hit his face, and a little drunkenness was quickly blown away by this slightly cool sea breeze, Lin Xiaozhi drove all the way, and even seriously considered the investment and director selection of the movie "Love Letter".

is different from the movie "Color is Empty", "Love Letter" is a movie that completely loves the theme of love. For this kind of theme, Lin Xiaozhi filmed but was worried that he would not grasp it well, and he also had to consider preparing a new script and movie, and continue to impact the European market while the influence of "Killer Leon" in the UK has not dissipated. From the beginning, I never thought about directing the filming of "Love Letters" myself.

As a movie with the theme of love, "Love Letter" has no big scenes, the male protagonist is played by Chen Baiqiang, the two heroines Lin Xiaozhi consider drawing two people from the happy girl group to play, the middle school girl version of the female 'Yaxi, Lin Xiaozhi is ready to hand over to Xu Ruoxuan to play, of course, this requires an interview, and if it is not suitable, it will be played by the happy girl group. As for Chen Baiqiang's relatively tender face, it should not be a problem to put on makeup for him to play the male protagonist in the middle school version.

Artists can choose their own, which virtually saves a lot of expenses. Do the math, between 5 million and 7 million Hong Kong dollars, "Love Letter" can definitely be filmed, and it may not need so much money. Director problem, Lin Xiaozhi has a headache, Hong Kong is suitable for this kind of delicate love theme shooting, think about it, although there are more than ten suitable directors, but he is not at ease with those old and rough masters, he still automatically eliminated a few male directors who are good at shooting sensational scenes, leaving only Zhang Aijia, Xu Anhua, Zhang Aijia, Xu Anhua, Zhang Wanting, the three best female directors in Hong Kong.

These three people are undoubtedly the best female directors in Hong Kong now, and they all have the experience of shooting similar themes, which makes him a little difficult to choose for a while, as long as he presses down the director first, he is ready to contact him first to see who has time and who is more interested in the script.

Soon returned to the company, Lin Xiaozhi had just walked into the front desk hall of the office, and saw a female receptionist standing at the front desk with her eyes lit up and stopped him.

"Lin Dong, a guest came to visit and said it was your friend"

"There are guests" Lin Xiaozhi frowned and thought about it, he didn't remember who he had made an appointment to meet recently, and hurriedly asked, "Is the other party still there?" How long have you been here? Is it male or female? Is there a name on it? ”

He asked a few questions in one breath, and the female receptionist hurriedly looked through the registration list for a while before she looked up and replied: "There is a man who looks to be in his thirties, he claims to be Zhang Yimou, and says that he is a friend of Lin Dong." Because he had Lin Dong's business card, we arranged for him to wait in the reception room. Let me see the time, the guest came at about two o'clock, and has been waiting for you in the reception room for almost half an hour

"Old Schemer"

Lin Xiaozhi was stunned and immediately overjoyed, Lao Mouzi sent it to the door by himself, although he didn't know what was going on. However, when he first met Lao Mouzi in Venice, he always wanted to connect with the mainland through Zhang Yimou. Hong Kong is too small, and the box office of a port city has grown to 1.5 billion and 2 billion Hong Kong dollars at most. But the mainland is different, the genuine film market there was as high as 000 million yuan before his rebirth, the pirated DVCD and video tape market was as high as more than 50 billion yuan, and the pirated online movie copyright market was as high as more than 5 billion yuan, which together is a huge market of more than 10 billion US dollars. It is dozens of times that of Hong Kong, second only to the European market and North America, and is also the second largest market in the world after the United States with a potential film industry chain of up to 10 billion US dollars.

Although this is only a long-term prospect, although there is a big enemy of piracy in front of him, Lin Xiaozhi is not ready to consider these for the time being. The box office revenue of mainland films in 19RR was 100 million yuan, which shows that the potential of the mainland market is worth looking forward to and developing. Europe and the United States overseas, after all, it is a place for foreigners. No matter how rich and rich you are, you can't compare to the security of your own family.

Therefore, as soon as he heard that Lao Mouzi was coming, he could hardly resist the surprise, and turned around to go directly to the reception room.

As soon as the person walked a few steps, Lin Xiaozhi suddenly turned back and said to a receptionist: "You go to Director Zhu separately and ask him to help me get the contact information of Zhang Aijia, Xu Anhua, and Zhang Wanting as soon as possible." If he asked, he would say I said, the company has a new movie needed."

He personally wrote down the names of the three people, so that a few female receptionists didn't know how to write the words, so he turned around and walked straight to the reception.

In his own company, Lin Xiaozhi behaved much more casually, pushed the door directly into the office, and saw Zhang Yimou, who seemed to be a little anxious on his face, sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, and he hurriedly greeted him.

"Director Zhang, I'm really sorry. Today, I don't know if you're coming, I have something to do here and walked away, so I've kept you waiting."

After waiting for more than half an hour, Zhang Yimou was already anxious. When he first came, he was still very confident in whether he could persuade Lin Xiaozhi to invest in the movie "Qin Warriors", and it is said that when he met at the Venice Film Festival, Lin Xiaozhi's politeness and respect for him gave him a lot of confidence. But as time passed, I was bored reading the newspaper to pass the time while sitting here waiting, and I also saw that there was no shortage of praise and praise for Lin Xiaozhi in the newspaper.

The more he watched, the more irritated Zhang Yimou became, and it had been a few months since the two of them met. This time is different from the past, now is the time when he is the most depressed but also the time when the other party is the most proud, whether Lin Xiaozhi still remembers him, whether he will be as polite as before, he has no idea in his heart.

But all of this disappeared with Lin Xiaozhi's warm smile as always. When I saw him smiling and pushing the door and walking in, he took the initiative to lower his posture as always. Zhang Yimou breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Xiaozhi was still the young man he met in Venice, so things would be much easier.

"Where is Lin Dong, it should be me who should say I'm sorry." Zhang Yimou hurriedly stood up and squeezed out a smile: "Blame me for being in a hurry for a while, so I forgot to contact Lin Dong first, and ran to the door by myself." ”

He said this bluntly, and directly said that he came to the door to ask for help, which surprised Lin Xiaozhi, who knew a little about his temperament, but also asked according to his meaning: "What, Director Zhang Fei has encountered any trouble in Hong Kong?" As long as I, Lin Xiaozhi, can help, you just have to say......"

"This ......" Zhang Yimou thought that he would have to take a lot of effort to convince him, but he didn't expect him to cooperate so well, but he was stunned for a while, and then he organized the language and said again: "I don't know if Lin Dong knows the novel "Qin Warriors" by Ms. Li Bihua, our Xi'an Film Studio in the mainland originally negotiated a co-production with Xu Ke Studio Company in Hong Kong, and the mainland paid for it and Hong Kong paid for it. Originally, the movie had already been said to start filming, but the temporary Xu Ke Studio Company had no money to shoot for the time being, so ......"

"So you want us Xinya to take over?"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Lin Xiaozhi interrupt him quickly, and there seemed to be an irrepressible surprise in his voice.

Zhang Yimou's face was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, but he still nodded.
