The more you invest, the greater the risk.
If you encounter a film similar to "It's Not Easy to Thai", the investment in several projects will be in vain.
But you have to accompany it all at once, and you can't vote for those big bad movies, this difficulty is really not ordinary.
Thinking of this, Lin Dong couldn't help but want to complain about the system.
Yours is a money-losing system.
You're still picky.
If you eat Xiang, you won't eat anything that tastes bad.
In the end, Lin Dong only had one project left in his hand - "Red Sea".
This project is the project of an old acquaintance.
Lin Chao is the director of "Mekong" released this year, and Lin Dong acted in his film, so he is very familiar.
After the release of "Mekong", he called at every turn, openly and secretly to invest.
You say that this person is not cheap, this is it.
You are now a popular director, how many people are waiting for you with money in their hands, you keep pestering me to do it.
However, this is no longer the case.
Lin Dong needs to gamble.
Will Lin Chaoxian's new film lose money?
No, no, that's really a bit difficult, unless Lin Chaoxian has a bad brain and shoots randomly.
Lin Dong gambled that he could persuade Lin Chaoxian to abandon the elements of the divine drama and make an alternative war movie.
There will be people on the protagonist's side who will die and be injured.
It's not something that makes others angry and destroys their own prestige.
You always make films where one person is against a hundred and one is against a thousand, where do you put those who have sacrificed their lives.
The family they left behind, if their father and husband sacrificed their lives.
The sand sculpture children came and said, impossible, our great Guo Jia soldiers could not have casualties, they all acted like that on TV.
If you don't know their hardships, you can't understand their greatness.
This kind of drama bad movie, in addition to being able to make the audience blind and arrogant, always feels that as long as there is a fight, it will immediately make Neon Mi Guo kneel down and call dad obediently, which has no meaning at all.
Therefore, Lin Dong did not immediately decide to cast this movie.
He asked Du Qixi to vote for the previous "Chasing the Tiger" and "Cat Demon", and at the same time made an appointment to meet Lin Chaoxian.
Lin Chaoxian appeared in front of him almost suddenly.
You are a director of Xiangjiang, shouldn't your home be in Xiangjiang, you will appear in the capital at once, what do you mean?
"Congratulations on the success of the cultural festival." Lin Chao's meeting is congratulations.
"Congratulations to Director Lin too." Lin Dong was polite, and he was obviously dissatisfied with the money made in "Mekong".
"Mekong" invested 200 million yuan and had a box office of 1.2 billion, making him earn more than 200 million.
This vendetta ......
Forget it, don't worry about a lot of debts, if you really kill all the enemies, you can make dozens of Horcruxes.
"Thanks to your participation in this movie and the light of "Xinshu Mountain", you are definitely the hottest movie actor this year, and any film you appear in will explode at the box office."
In fact, he just found a reason to flatter.
but accidentally "revealed" the truth.
That's right, Lin Dong suddenly realized in his heart that his "Xinshu Mountain" exploded 7.2 billion, and his name was praised in the entire entertainment industry.
As long as there is relevant news, it will be trending immediately.
This year, he is the only one who can overpower Xiao Xianrou in terms of popularity, and the number of hot searches on his list makes the most fried Xiao Xianrou embarrassed.
The key is that Lin Dong really didn't spend money on frying.
No wonder "Mekong" can have a box office of more than 1.2 billion, it turns out to be a continuation of the popularity of his "Xinshu Mountain".
People are like that.
Wizards are no exception, and they can't escape this kind of mental suggestion.
When you decide to do something, you have already started to do mental construction.
"Ahem, Director Lin, I invited you over this time, I plan to discuss with you about your new film "Red Sea"." Lin Dong said.
Quite an awkward name.
The other party's surname is Lin, and he is also surnamed Lin, when the two of them were in the crew, one was the director and the other was an actor, but it was okay to say, but now it is more chaotic.
"Teacher Lin Dong, please speak." Lin Chaoxian knew that the critical time had come.
It is true that "Mekong" has made money, and those who want to invest in him to shoot the next film have also surrounded him, and all kinds of conditions are mentioned by him.
But what he wanted, the other party did not have.
Kleist's distribution channel!
If "Mekong" follows Kleist's distribution channel, it will definitely be more than 1.2 billion box office, and it feels like 1.5 billion is easy.
If there is an extra 300 million box office, there will be 100 million more box office.
Is this what the rich men can give?
And Kleist doesn't have all that mess, as long as you don't have any violations, you don't even feel the presence of the personnel they're stationing.
They inspect the lunch boxes more seriously than they check the ledgers.
What's more, Kleist directly ceded the overseas box office and copyright, and the benefits here are also a huge amount of money.
"I've watched a lot of war movies on our side recently......" Lin Dong said his opinion, and finally summed it up in one sentence: it must be real, and it can't be too dramatic to cater to the audience.
Don't cater to the audience, who pays for the ticket.
If you are an ordinary director, you will definitely have an argument with Lin Dong.
Fortunately, this is Lin Chaoxian.
He fought in Xiangjiang, with few resources, great competition, and better tolerance than ordinary mainland directors.
"Oh, I think so too, it's not interesting to shoot a drama."
When Lin Dong heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he began to complain about the plot and setting of the drama, and felt that we should go the other way.
"Doing the opposite, is it to make the enemy a myth?" Lin Chaoxian asked for advice very humbly, although this sounds like nonsense, but as long as the gold owner's father has a request, we can really give you a whole thing.
This is like "Soldiers in the City".
Although this movie looks like a drama, the enemy is not mentally retarded at all, and the level, mentality, and bearing of the enemy sniper are definitely no worse than the protagonist.
Daddy, you just need to say what kind of bull fork villain you want to see, and I'll order one for you.
"It's normal, whether it's our side or the enemy, don't be a drama, it's particularly annoying this, I want to see the tragedy of the war, and it's not easy to survive, can you understand?" Lin Dong gestured dryly.
"Of course you can, the war is indeed tragic, with countless casualties, and no one should like war." Lin Chaoxian was very cooperative.
"Well, unless you have to." Lin Dong added.
Don't be too left, not too right, it's not a black and white world.
"Let me sum it up, that is, our people can't be too dramatic, the enemy can't be too brainless, we must reflect the cruelty of war, but we can't be cowardly, right." Lin Chaoxian quickly figured out what Lin Dong meant.
There is a saying that the directors on the other side of Xiangjiang have a period when they have a gun to their head and a knife to their necks for filming.
If you fail your reading comprehension, it's not just a problem that no one is investing in.
