"Are you crazy?" Qin Zhong wiped his mouth with a piece of paper and said unceremoniously, "Are you sure you are in a normal state now?" ”

Without waiting for Lin Xiao to speak, he continued, "Reliable news? ”

"Absolutely."

"Feng Xiaogang's film is a Chinese New Year file, if Zhang Yimou's is also that time, even if it is a month in advance, it will be ...... spoken" Qin Zhong said without hesitation. ”

"What, what are you afraid of?" Lin Xiao smiled: "Isn't it a big production?" We are also a big production, what are we afraid of? ”

"Afraid of what?" Qin Zhong looked at him as if he didn't know him, "I admit that Feng Xiaogang has indeed developed well, but he has only risen for a few years?" How many films have been filmed? His films, Ge You and you are the big guys, right? Who else? Director, you are a big step behind, you are still a lot worse than the stars, you tell me, why do you want to make this kind of mortal investment? ”

"The film, what you see is the plot, what you see is the picture." Lin Xiao said calmly, "I also admit that Feng Xiaogang's picture sense is not as good as Zhang Yimou, but when it comes to the plot and down-to-earthness, I'm afraid Zhang Yimou is not as good as Feng Xiaogang." Is there less news about superstar Waterloo? American blockbusters have been released in China for so long, aren't those famous ones? ”

"But before others walk into the cinema, what they see is the lineup and the director!" Qin Zhong said categorically, "If you collide with Zhang Yimou's top blockbuster at the end of the year, the box office will definitely be affected!" ”

Lin Xiao thought for a while, "This is an excellent opportunity, I have read the script, it is very good, you mean to release it next year?" It's impossible, if I want to vote, I'm going to smash the whole dawn into it! I put it next year, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for the painting, and it will go out of business at dawn. ”

"Then don't vote!" Qin Zhong waved his hand, "This kind of thing is obviously sending himself to the gallows." No way. ”

Lin Xiao frowned, it was only the end of April, and the chores of forming the crew for a month, and there was still more than half a year of filming and editing in the later stage.

"In this way, let's talk to Director Feng first, this film is really good, I don't think it will be a loss. At least it's guaranteed. And we are not very clear about the detailed investment process of the crew, so it is good to see it. He pondered.

This time, Qin Zhong didn't object, he thought about it for a while and nodded, "It's okay, but don't want to invest in a meeting." ”

Lin Xiao nodded noncommittally.

That night, he agreed to meet in a teahouse owned by an artist, and he specially notified Zhao Wei.

He understands that there is no thief in the world to invest, and it is close to the hero. Feng Xiaogang said that he could pull fifteen million, and he really doubted it.

Under the premise that there is no commercial film in China, how can he, a director who has just been famous for a long time, attract tens of millions of investment?

As soon as she pushed open the door of the box, Zhao Wei, who was wearing a pink sè coat and drinking coffee, smiled and waved her hand, "Long time no see." ”

"It's been a long time." Lin Xiao and Qin Zhong entered the house, and the heating suddenly made them feel like chūn warm flowers, and both of them took off their coats, only to find that Feng Xiaogang had arrived, and he was obviously chatting with Zhao Wei very speculatively.

And next to Feng Xiaogang, Lin Xiao jumped his eyelids, and there was a middle-aged man with a bald head and a "jiān cunning" face, Ge You.

What made his eyelids jump was not Ge You's coming, Feng Xiaogang and Ge You, the golden pair, wanted to come to Jiao and couldn't leave Meng. It's not surprising that he's here.

It's the number above that shiny head that jumps!

1376！ It's the highest of all the actors he's ever seen!

When the two met, Ge You smiled and nodded, "It's not the first time." ”

Lin Xiao also sat down with a smile, when they were in Shaolin football, they had a relationship.

"I really can't imagine that more than a year ago, an artist who was a newcomer is now standing on the throne of the actor." Ge You sighed and said, "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the film and television industry needs newcomers like you." ”

"Okay, okay, don't talk much, I'll be talking about the old days later." Feng Xiaogang clapped his hands with his big teeth, "Today, everyone here is the leading actor of no thieves in the world, investment, let's meet and discuss, I think it is very necessary." ”

"The production process of the movie, I left 7 months of space, it should be very sufficient, there are no thieves in the world, and there is no need to run too many places, the key is ......"

"The point is, how much money did you get from Director Feng?" Lin Xiao suddenly spoke, "Director Feng, our side ......"

"We'll have to think about it on our side." Qin Zhong snatched Lin Xiao's topic, raised his hand, and motioned for Feng Xiaogang to continue.

Feng Xiaogang opened his mouth wide, and his teeth couldn't close, but this time he really couldn't close it.

This is the most gunpowder-filled negotiation he's ever seen.,Before it started.,The male protagonist asked the most broken question for his eggs.,Before he answered.,Immediately rejected by the investor.。

Even Party A and Party B have never been so bumpy back then!

"Uh...... That is true. Feng Xiaogang sighed, thought about it, and said truthfully, "If there are another 18 million, this will be done." ”

Lin Xiao clearly heard Qin Zhong's fist clenched to the ground with a "click".

"Director Feng, you're not playing with me?" Qin Zhongpi didn't smile, he was already a little angry, "Then how much investment have you pulled?" Which companies have promised to invest? ”

After the Zhao Qingya incident, the identity of Tianguang, the boss, everyone present understood that Feng Xiaogang naturally would not be bored, and said with a smile, "Don't hide it from you, I have already pulled seven million." ”

"Director Feng, this is not quite what we said." Lin Xiao frowned, seven million? Plus even if he smashes into the dawn even if it is five million, this vacancy is still very big! He clearly remembered that there were no thieves in the world and the investment of 20 million was real. Now, even if you remove Andy Lau's nearly three million, Rene Liu's million, how to solve the problem of a few million?

"I can't either." Feng Xiaogang suddenly cried out, "Do you know, how many movies are there with an investment of 10 million in China now?" No! It's still a commercial film, this kind of film, to put it bluntly, is to make money! can't just make money, especially this time it is a film involving a national teacher, who dares to invest so much, or a precedent for creating commercial films. It's not that I have a relationship with Huayi, these seven million don't have it! ”

It seems that almost all of the seven million are from Huayi. Lin Xiao was silent, Feng Xiaogang and Wang Zhongjun had a very good relationship with the two brothers, it can be said that after the earthquake in 05, it was he who helped Huayi hold up a piece of the sky and made the newcomers behind him popular, otherwise it would be a question of whether Huayi would have in the future.

He quietly calculated, counting the expansion of the film market in 03 after joining the WTO, and 20 million in 04, which is at least equal to 15 million now, even if it is converted like this, there is still a gap of two or three million.

The room fell silent, and Zhao Wei suddenly spoke, "Count me in." ”

"You haven't read the script yet, how do you decide?" Lin Xiao was surprised.

"We arrived an hour early and talked a lot with Mr. Feng Daoge, I was very interested, and I had a hunch that this film should be a big hit. I can come up with two million. Couldn't be more. ”

"Miss Zhao, discerning! I know, I'm going to give you the greatest reward! Also, can you talk more about the salary? Feng Xiaogang suddenly laughed so hard that he couldn't close his teeth.

"You probably don't know." Qin Zhong spoke for a long time, and he had already asked about Zhang Yimou thoroughly in the car just now, "Lao Mouzi is also going to launch a new film at the Chūn Festival, a commercial film, and plans to invest at least 30 million, and the lineup is the actor and actress of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, you are so invested, are you not afraid of being wasted?" ”

Ge You didn't move, obviously he had known it for a long time, but through several years of cooperation, he had confidence in Feng Xiaogang.

Feng Xiaogang didn't speak, only Zhao Wei's eyes widened in surprise, and he turned his head and asked, "Director Feng, is this true?" ”

Feng Xiaogang was speechless, and only after a while did he sigh, "It's true, it's more true than pearls." ”

"This time, we will encounter this unprecedented super enemy, in fact, you don't have to worry. I'm most worried! It is said that the director is majestic, but I have only been up for a few years? If a film is going to be ruined, I'm afraid it will return to the pre-liberation period in one day! He sighed and sat down, "I'm more nervous than anyone else about this film with tens of millions of investments, to be honest, I haven't slept well for almost a month, and now I can't sleep at all without sleeping pills." ”

Several people nodded, they understood this kind of psychology, the first big drama of the national teacher, made by tens of millions, was tied to everyone's throat like a noose, making it difficult for people to breathe.

"Or ...... Shoot again next year? Qin Zhong softened his heart and proposed.

"Nope." Feng Xiaogang immediately refused, "It's hard to say this kind of thing when making a film." Sometimes you really want to shoot something, and that's when you're most motivated and inspired! Once that time has passed, picking it up again, I'm afraid it will be better than it was in the beginning. ”

"There are no thieves in the world, it has become my shackles this year, if I don't shoot it, don't choose the most suitable artist to shoot him, I will never live 02 years with peace of mind!"

Silence, no one spoke.

Suddenly, Ge You, who had not spoken, spoke.

"Does a big production mean everything?"

"I don't think so. Party A and Party B, not seeing each other, their investment is not high. Even Party A and Party B finished filming a courtyard house. But their box office, everyone has also seen it. ”

"The script, the actor, the director, this is the soul, although it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, but there is only rice, without a good woman, the rice will be burned."

"A good film lies in its plot, not in investment." He made up his mind, looked at Feng Xiaogang and said, "There are no thieves in the world, I like it very much, Uncle Li's role is sè, I am confident that I can bring him back to life." If we can't achieve the final result, we can jīng the cost again, these months, aren't we just making a budget? Do it again, replace the necessities with something that can be replaced, and it should be possible to drop one or two million. ”

"It's a drop in the bucket, it's not going to get the effect I want." Feng Xiaogang shook his head.

Lin Xiao suddenly laughed, "Actually, there are many ways, but I didn't expect Director Feng to be so embarrassed, and I never said it." ”

"Do you have a way?" Everyone's eyes looked over, and Qin Zhong was even more surprised and added, "Just don't let the company pay." ”

Lin Xiao nodded, he really didn't expect that he didn't use this trick when Jade Guanyin was so difficult, but he didn't expect that now, when he was the emperor, he would use this double-edged sword.

The superiority of the prophet is shown at this moment.

"I'm going to make them willingly take out the money and not participate in the dividends!"
