Chapter 680: Those who are favored have nothing to fear
Lin Dong actually talked to Wang Yingjun about the plan of the new film, but the conversation was not very pleasant at the time.
Wang Yingjun married a wife last year with his "handsome" appearance, and then established a new company.
His wife is the head of the company.
The Wang wife challenged Lin Dong and Wang Yingjun's friendship, and she demanded to own the entire copyright of the new film, and Lin Dong could only participate in the box office share.
It doesn't really make much of a difference.
Lin Dong originally only divided the domestic copyright, and also had the exclusive subscription of the domestic network broadcast right, which means that as long as Station M did not explicitly refuse, the network broadcast right of this movie could only be sold to Kleist.
Now, Mrs. Wang feels that the right to broadcast online cannot be handled as before.
There should be several platforms that give whoever pays the highest amount.
I don't know what ecstasy soup she poured into Lao Wang, Lao Wang actually had this meaning.
From the perspective of losing money, this is more conducive to Lin Dong's loss of money.
He should have raised his hands in approval.
But Lin Dong is unhappy in his heart, I spoil you like a little wife, you turn around and settle accounts with my own brother when you turn around and follow others.
So, women are trouble.
Frankly speaking, Wang Yingjun is not a bad person.
He is just a little self-righteous, a little bit of the pride that cultural people have engraved in their bones, and some vulgar pursuit of fame and fortune.
So, he will tear up with others.
Therefore, he will change his directing style in order to cater to the audience.
These are the emotions that a normal person should have, and if there is nothing, then he is not a human being.
Lin Dong still remembers the first time he met Wang Yingjun, he rented a small bungalow that was about to be demolished, and he looked like a refugee.
Almost every half hour, someone called him to collect his debts.
At that time, he was poor and couldn't marry a serious daughter-in-law at all.
At that time, Wang Yingjun was still called Wang Million, and the box office was only one million, and whoever invested in him lost money until he met Lin Dong.
Although he is still a million, Lin Dong invested in making movies for him, and he especially liked his style of making movies without making money.
It's a pity that everything has changed since he married his daughter-in-law.
The newly appointed Mrs. Wang is ambitious and always wants to make her husband's career bigger and stronger.
This woman is not going to go crazy.
Section Chief Jia is also not high at the box office of every film, but with various awards and bonuses, as well as overseas box office revenue, he is actually very rich.
Otherwise, Section Chief Jia would not have been able to take out 100 million to help young directors film.
100 million is a bit empty, but 30 million or 50 million is still available.
"You may be seated."
People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and it is not easy to find a director with quality and who can lose money, but Lin Dong still made an appointment with Wang Yingjun.
In order to make this goods not so floating, Lin Dongyue's place was the place where the two met for dinner for the first time.
At that time, Tian Dazhuang was still a driver.
Now Tian Dazhuang is the general manager of Meowtail Cinemas, in charge of 25 cinemas across the country.
But Wang Yingjun is still the same Wang Yingjun, and he still insists on losing money.
This loss is not that he wants to lose, but that he can't make it at all, because he still has his own insistence on movies.
Movies like "The Great Era", can't Wang Yingjun make them?
Of course he filmed it, and he probably had more skill and could capture the hearts of the audience.
But it is impossible for him to make that kind of movie, and despite his various desires for commercialization, the films he makes still exude the rotten smell of literature and art.
"Mr. Lin is getting more and more powerful now." Wang Yingjun's expression was complicated.
This place was a small turning point in his life.
At that time, he really couldn't find anyone to give money.
Almost hiding from debts, he cowered in a rented small bungalow, and his former so-called friends cut off contact with him one by one.
Now, he has taken Lin Dong's money to make two movies and supervised one movie.
Although it is not said to be rich and expensive, it is also a small asset.
Just the director's fee and various copyrights, there are tens of millions of dollars in hand.
What his wife means is not necessarily what he means, but he also has to consider what his wife means, otherwise this marriage will be meaningless.
In the final analysis, it is the importance of the wife that prevails.
The two chatted for a while, and Lin Dong went straight to the point:
"Mr. Wang, let's put it this way, the contract will not be changed again, I have made the biggest concession here, and the network exclusive broadcast fee given by station M has always been the highest standard in the industry, my sister-in-law wants to pull a few in, and then get a little more through bidding, to be honest, I really don't feel sober."
The words are not very good, and Wang Yingjun's old face is a little unbearable.
"Perhaps, he thinks that I will vote for every one of your works, and personally ask, is there any windfall profit here that you can't see clearly......"
This one is really there, but you can lose money.
So Lin Dong has been staring at Wang Yingjun, as long as there is a project, he will invest immediately, and because of this, Wang Yingjun, an old shameless man, has been spoiled.
If you don't get married, you don't have a greedy mother-in-law, even if you spoil a little, it's nothing.
Wang Yingjun is a person, as long as there is money to be made, he will be satisfied with filming, especially Lin Dong does not require him to shoot much box office at all.
Because of a woman, disagreements began to arise.
This woman is too greedy and is no longer satisfied with those directorial fees, bonuses, and overseas copyrights......
In addition, some villains think they know how to instigate in their ears.
There are many such villains in life, in fact, they don't understand it very well, but with their own half-understood knowledge, they dare to talk highly.
There is also a kind of can't see others better than yourself.
Why do you have to get Kleist's continuous investment when you make a film and lose one, I have to make a mess for you.
"Teacher Wang, in fact, the reason for everything is that you helped me revise my graduation thesis, which is so simple." Of course, Lin Dong can't say that you helped me lose money.
Anyway, this reason is also valid.
Wang Xiaoshuai suddenly remembered that when he and Lin Dong first met, it was Huang Sanshi who introduced him to help Lin Dong read his graduation thesis.
But he thought it was incredible.
Just because I helped you change your paper?
So you voted for two movies directed by me in a row, and you also voted for one movie that I produced.
"If you still want to continue to cooperate, then I will continue to invest, if you want to do it yourself, or find other capital, I also wish you a victory, we will still be friends in the future, what do you think?" Lin Dong asked.
"I ...... Alas, it's me who is obsessed. Wang Yingjun raised his hand and slapped himself.
In fact, he didn't agree with his wife's idea very much, but he was talked about all day long, and his ears gradually softened.
In addition, he is indeed puzzled why Lin Dong invests in his films.
It doesn't matter if you make money if you invest.
And he behaved so diligently.
The industry as a whole simply can't find a second home.
