Chapter 191: Plan Ahead
Lin Xiao will never dare to go out without pretending now, and the effect caused by that will be a headache for the Ministry of Transportation.
Wearing a windbreaker, sunglasses, hat, and mask with a raised collar, he came out of the airport like an agent, and the bodyguards who had no silver three hundred taels at dawn immediately surrounded him tightly, like a shark breaking through the crowd and walking away.
When he got to the car that picked him up at the door, he took off his sunglasses and lamented, "It's really painful and happy......"
"Typical bargain and good selling! How many artists want to get to your point where they can't get it? Be content, you! Christina lashed.
At dawn, before he entered the door, he was immediately startled by the person at the door.
There were a lot of people lingering in the doorway, some in suits and leather shoes, some looking like students, some freelancers, and the inside was almost fenced in.
"Look...... That's the beauty of Cannes...... Anyone who wants to make a name for themselves, directors, and those involved in film and television, Cannes is the best place to be. A few people got out of the car, and when they arrived at the door of their house, Lin Xiao took off his disguise, it was impossible for so many people not to be recognized, so why hide their ears and steal the bell.
Just as he walked into the dawn, everyone's eyes lit up at the door.
"Mr. Lin! I'm the deputy general manager of Venus Productions, and I don't know if I'm free tonight, so we want to invite Mr. Lin to dinner. A middle-aged man walked up with a welcoming smile on his face and desperately stuffed his business card into Lin Xiao's hand.
The bodyguard was about to stop him, Lin Xiao sighed, China's film and television industry needs to be reformed, these little-known small companies are the backbone of it, no film and television industry can hold up with a few leaders, China is known as the top ten film and television companies, maybe now it will add a dawn to become the eleventh, but maybe all of them add up to the film library of one Sony company.
He stretched out his hand and took it, "You don't need to eat, you prepare the materials and hand them to Mr. Qin, we will review all the movies within ten days, and the good ones will definitely be brought into Cannes." But if it's shoddy, then I'm sorry. ”
"Of course! Of course! We at Venus are very confident in the movies we make! The middle-aged man didn't expect the other party to take it, and after a short period of shock, his face was full of ecstasy, "Mr. Lin can give us this opportunity, we are deeply grateful!" ”
"Cannes is like a rope on a cliff for them, if they develop on their own, I am afraid they can only be crushed to death by the old faucets of Huayi Light, and they can only seek other ways out." Christina whispered, "Perhaps, you can choose a good film and television company to make them famous, just like the new line is to Time Warner." I can't guarantee that there will be another Lord Ring in the future. ”
Lin Xiao nodded slightly, this is also his idea, in fact, the most important thing is that in the future, large and small artist studios, they have a lot of good films in their hands, such as Jin Yiwei, who invested 130 million yuan by Hong Kong director Li Rengang before his rebirth, which was jointly produced by seven or eight studios. Not to mention the promotion of Du Lala in Xu Jinglei's studio during the same period.
He didn't know that in the future, there would be such a gold-absorbing blockbuster as Youth and Childhood.
Dawn is now like a towering tree, and several years of hard work have caught up with old companies such as Huayi and Xiying, but its root system is not developed, and its subordinate studios and small companies are almost zero. This is because it didn't get involved in distribution until last year, when it began to penetrate distribution, with Batman becoming the first film released by Daybreak.
Chibi will be the second part! He thought to himself that then, Wang Guohui's contract would push Dawn to the peak of his career!
Only with the ability to issue will more companies be willing to join Dawn. With more internship opportunities, there will be more students who will be more willing to enter Sunrise. With more students entering, his advanced ideas can slowly transform the next generation of film and television people.
It's a nine-in-a-row, and any one of them is interlocking.
Now, the most important thing is the success of Chibi! To this end, when the giant ship first started to build the keel, he put 200% of his energy!
As soon as he took the business card, the people next to him were almost crazy, one or two with a smile on their faces, but their movements were vigorous, and they desperately handed over the business card to Lin Xiao's hand.
"Mr. Lin! We are the company! We are equally confident in our films! "Mr. Lin, we are Hangzhou Silk Culture Film and Television Company, we want to invite you to Cannes, you can open your mouth!"
Oh, forget, there are many consortia that want to use movies to launder money and do what Camuel and Li Kebao did, and they are also a new force in independent filmmaking. Even their abundant funds can invite top directors and artists to join.
Lin Xiao looked at the business card in his hand playfully, and he didn't refuse. Then he nodded, and walked into the dawn under the eager eyes of four or five company representatives at the door.
"Mr. Lin." "Mr. Lin." As soon as dawn broke down, he saw that the reception room was almost full, and when he saw him enter, he immediately greeted him excitedly.
This time, he didn't stop and went directly to the general manager's office.
"Hahaha!" As soon as he entered, he heard Qin Zhong's laughter. He was smiling at a stack of documents.
"Talented, so talented!" He slapped the table and laughed, and when he saw Lin Xiao and Christina coming in, he restrained his smile, "Busy man, you're finally here." ”
"What are you looking at?" Lin Xiao took it and looked at it, and he laughed.
It's nothing else, it's the 06 drama, Ning Caishen's masterpiece "Wulin Gaiden". ”
He watched it several times, and he also felt a little emotional in his heart, it was already on the air now, and since Ning Caishen was now under the banner of Dawn, he only came up with the script.
"Where's my nephew's picture!" Qin Zhong didn't wait for him to look at it for a long time, and immediately asked.
"What's the hurry?" Lin Xiao took out his wallet, flipped out a stack of photos, and picked them back and forth in Qin Zhong's cannibalistic gaze.
This one? Hongyi drools, it's so cute! No, you can't give it to him.
That one? Tao Xue eats her fingers, no, no, you can't give it to him!
After watching it for a long time, he was deciding not to give any of them, but all the photos in his hand were gone!
"Qin Zhong!" Lin Xiao shouted angrily, and the other party took all the photos with lightning speed, and looked at it happily.
"Brought me so much? Not bad! You're a good brother-in-law! I've taken it all! Qin Zhong said with a glint in his eyes.
Lin Xiao's mouth was almost crooked, when did you say it was given to him?!
Giving you one is a gift, and two is forgiveness! Where's the floor?!
The photo battle finally declared victory with Lin Xiao's possession of the child, and one person was singled out and given to the angry brother-in-law.
"Alright, let's get down to business." Lin Xiao hurriedly reassured the group of fierce horses, "I will be busy in Cannes this month, and before that, some things must be implemented." ”
"Uh-huh." Qin Zhong snorted, obviously quite dissatisfied with only getting two.
Ignoring him, Lin Xiao continued, "First of all, the most important thing in the company is Chibi, and now that the project has been established, everything that should be done must be done smoothly." The Three Kingdoms Kill of the game card board game company must be completed by May 20th, and there are still more than 20 days to go, almost. That's the first thing. ”
"The second thing, in the past 20 days, I need all the funds in place, Jiaozuo Film and Television City, Zhuozhou Film and Television City must be contacted, and now we will start repairing."
"Third, find some old professors of history in Peking University and Tsinghua University, this drama is positioned as a historical drama, and every detail must be completely in line with the history of the Three Kingdoms!"
"As for the selection of other actors, this is the last step, and when I come back, I will start, and there are people who have already been decided, so I have to sign with them as soon as possible."
Speaking of business, Qin Zhong also restrained his smile and waved his hand, "I will leave these things to reliable people to do, and there is one more thing, Prada just called 30 million, but we took out the money at the bottom of the box, and the hundreds of millions of dollars earned in the past few years have all been smashed into it, and 30 million is definitely not enough." ”
"It doesn't matter. When our first set of 3D pictures comes out, they should have follow-up funds in place. ”
"You are really bold enough, you dare to make a film if you don't have enough funds." Qin Zhong said so, but he didn't take it too seriously, and similar things have not happened before, "I heard that after the key film is declared, there will be support from the state, which can be regarded as a sum of money." ”
"It's 100 million in the sky, but it's really a charcoal in the snow."
Christina glanced at the two of them, "I don't seem to feel the snow at all?" ”
"By the way, there is one last thing, call the review team of Dawn, review all the films of those people outside, and I will take it with me. You set aside a few millions, rent a space in Cannes, and set up a nice booth. ”
"Millions?!" Qin Zhong snorted angrily, "Now that money is so tight, how can there be millions?" Do your best. ”
"Okay, I'm going to rest, these things must be done well, and I have to hold a Chibi press conference when I come back. If one is not done, this press conference will have to be postponed, you know what the press conference before the college entrance examination represents. ”
"Got it, get out of here."
Rest until the afternoon, in the evening, he invited Li Hao and Zhao Wei to have a meal, Zhou Xun now has an appointment, and he can't leave for the time being.
"This is Brother Xiao's child." The two looked at the photo and discussed it in a mess.
"So cute, much more handsome than his father!"
“……”
After laughing for a while, Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Come on, don't look at the two children, it's just right, I have a good thing to tell you." ”
"Got a blockbuster?" Zhao Wei yawned.
“…… Can't you leave me in suspense? Lin Xiao was quite dissatisfied.
"What's the suspense here?" Li Hao also felt very strange.
All right...... Lin Xiao was speechless, shook his head and said, "Indeed, there is a blockbuster that needs you to join." ”
"What piece?" The two asked in unison.
"Historical dramas, one billion yuan investment, global release, almost all the actors are the most famous artists in China, and the main actors have been determined. The title of the film, Chibi. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard no sound.
Zhao Wei and Li Hao were stunned, one billion yuan investment! It's so powerful! Wouldn't it take three billion box office to be able to recoup the cost?
Is this possible?!
