Chapter 855: Find a "Money Loser" (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"The cat factory gave 160 million, and we are about the same." Zhou Longxing smiled, a little embarrassed in front of the motor.
Whatever the reason.
The motor gave him a cameo, and the effect was so good, and he refused the cameo, which is all a loss.
"Then I'm at a loss." Zhang Luo joked.
A few people talked and laughed, and Lin Dong quickly said goodbye to them and left.
He walked around the red carpet prep area.
I talked to a lot of people.
The purpose is very simple, that is, to find a "money-losing goods".
He now has an initial capital of fourteen million in his hands, the kind that can be turned into cash gallons if he loses.
The premise is that he can lose it.
If he can't find it, he can only use the inventory in the company's project library.
For example, "The Blizzard is Coming", "Send Me to the Green Clouds", "The Last Night on Earth" and so on.
That's the bottom of the box that he is reluctant to move unless he has to.
"This is the project book, please take a look." The stage name Sheng Xiaojing was easy to talk to Lin Dong.
After all, one is from Shengjing and the other is from Shencheng, and with the development of the city, almost all of them have been connected, and there is news that Shengjing is going to merge with Shuncheng at every turn.
This is a proper fellow.
"Green worm transit?" Lin Dong wondered why he had such a name, what a genius in naming.
"The name is tentative." Sheng Xiaojing hurriedly explained.
Leaving his former mentor, he is now almost penniless.
If you can report the thighs of the cat factory, then you don't have to worry about the pressure from the teacher.
Lin Dong opened the project book.
In order not to be so abrupt, he looked at it for a full thirty seconds before closing it and handing it back to Sheng Xiaojing.
"I'm sorry," the wizard shook his head and said, "Our company has also received a similar script, which has already been filmed, and we can only hope that there will be a chance to cooperate next time." ”
There is no way, the system prohibits casting.
In other words,The quality of this book is really poor.。
But he wasn't lying.
The main content of this "Green Worm Transit" tells the comedy story of Shen Fu, a young man in the countryside of Northeast China, who accidentally learned that he had a huge inheritance to inherit, so he came to Wanbei from the Northeast and made a big fuss about the Wanwan community.
unexpectedly obtained a huge fortune, isn't this the happy twist of "Heir to Capital"?
The script doesn't look closely, but the similarities are striking.
It's not foolish to use this as an excuse.
Lin Dong can't say it directly, you better stop filming, your movie is estimated to not even have a five-point evaluation.
After all, word-of-mouth has no direct relationship with the box office.
A large number of movies with a bad reputation have a high box office, and investors are smiling.
Sheng Xiaojing was a little lost.
But he hadn't given up completely, but said, "Teacher Lin Dong, can you come to me for a cameo?" ”
"I'm so sorry." Lin Dong continued to shake his head.
This time there was no excuse.
At his level, refusal is refusal, although he is not as individual as Zhou Longxing, and he is not available to reply to me directly.
But I don't bother to rack my brains to find other excuses.
If you have to understand, it's that your show is too bad for me to play.
Sheng Xiaojing was disappointed, but he didn't dare to be angry or speak.
Lin Dong met a few directors again, and they either didn't have a book in preparation, or the project was a mess.
The current entertainment industry is too impetuous.
Many people take shoddy projects and want to be favored by capital, and capital is willing to give money as long as there is flow.
The superstition about traffic is transmitted from the Internet.
"Nice to meet you." It was Hirokazu Kore-eda who bowed to Lin Dong, and his friend, who was also his interpreter, told him that the one who was coming over was one of the best names in the entire Chinese entertainment industry.
He also told him by analogy that this person is more powerful than Nagakitagawa on your side.
Nagakitagawa is the president of Genesys & Associates.
The most well-known artist under his banner should be Takuya Kimura.
Although Hirokazu Kore-eda couldn't understand why this person, who seemed to be only in his twenties, an actor and director, could be compared to Nagaki Tagawa, he still respectfully expressed his respect.
Lin Dong chose to shake hands with him: ""Nobody Knows" is a film I was still watching not long ago, and I can see the people who created it at the Capital International Film Festival, and I feel that this trip has not been in vain." ”
The translator translated the words, and it was Hirokazu Kore-eda's excited bow again.
The two chatted for a while about the movie of Huaxia and Neon.
In the end, Lin Dong said curiously: "It's Mr. Hirokazu Kore-eda, I don't know what your new movie plans to make?" ”
"It's about a thief family at the bottom of society, and I hope to reflect some social issues, but I also hope that people can realize that there will be beautiful moments in life in the midst of a thousand holes." Hirokazu Kore-eda is very humble to express the concept of his film.
The movies directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda are all classics.
There is no shortage of investment, but it is not easy to make money, so it is also at the point where you can't starve to death and can't hold on.
Most of his films were paid for by Fuji TV, Toho International, and GAGA Co., Ltd., but there were times when he couldn't find money.
For example, the classic "Nobody Knows" was filmed at the expense of "Hirokazu Kore-eda's studio" itself.
That movie almost lost money, but fortunately, it won a lot of awards and sold overseas rights well, so it didn't let Kore-eda Hirokazu Studio go bankrupt.
"I recently acquired a film company, maybe I can invest in your film, if you don't object." Lin Dong is quite interested in this project.
He doesn't have much of a crush on Neon.
The film "Piano of Steel" he invested in was shortlisted for the Neon International Film Festival, but there were some unpleasant things at that time, and the entire crew of "Piano of Steel" announced its refusal to participate in the Neon International Film Festival, which attracted some old artists to criticize it, saying that the crew did not respect art and was inferior hype, but Lin Dong did not hesitate to express his support for the crew at that time.
In his opinion, everything has borders.
is not right about things, not people, it is Hirokazu Kore-eda who has not died, and he is still a very thoughtful literary film director, so Lin Dong spent some time chatting with him.
The translator translated Lin Dong's words truthfully.
and excitedly added: "The film company he said should be MGM that he recently spent tens of billions of dollars to acquire, hurry up and agree to him." ”
"Oh my God, he bought MGM?" It was Hirokazu Kore-eda who understood why the translation said that Lin Dong was more bullish than Nagakitagawa.
Tens of billions of dollars to buy a Hollywood company.
Sure enough, it's a big deal.
But Hirokazu Kore-eda is Hirokazu Kore-eda, he didn't agree immediately, but said: "Please, why did Mr. Lin Dong choose to invest in a neon movie?" ”
"I didn't choose to invest in neon movies, I chose yours." Lin Dong shook his head, very pretending to be profound.
It's not because you're a literary film director, similar to those zero-box office directors on our side.
The director who lost money on his own side couldn't succeed, so he had to seek to develop outside.
