Xu Jin waited for Wang Baoqiao to send him the electronic version of the script, but before he could wait for the script, he waited for Director Wei's phone call first.

Xu Jin picked it up, thinking that Director Wei was going to report to him how the preparation process of "Love Apartment" was, but he didn't expect to be greeted by the news that all investors jointly requested that he must appear in this film before he is willing to invest!

"Didn't you say before that you were willing to invest money, why did you suddenly make this request?" Xu Jin didn't understand.

In his eyes, this request is rude, and it is completely different from what was negotiated before.

Director Wei smiled bitterly: "Do you remember that I told you before that there was an investor who was willing to invest 10 million, but he had a requirement that you have to participate in the performance." ”

Xu Jin thought about it for a while, a little impressed.

However, at that time, Director Wei's investment had already been pulled, and it was not short of 10 million, so he refused, and specially called to tell him.

Xu Jin's mind flashed: "Could it be that this investor is a ghost from it?" ”

Director Wei sighed, "I don't know if it's his ghost, suddenly someone in the circle released the news that the films you participated in are all popular, and it's your own drama."

Those people don't know how to understand it, so they think you have to come and participate. Even if it's a very small supporting role, they are willing to invest. ”

But the problem also appears here, Director Wei has mentioned it to Xu Jin a few times, and Xu Jin also told him very clearly that it is impossible for him to participate in "Love Apartment", even if it is a small supporting role.

First, a company as big as Tang Ren has requirements for the script to be filmed.

The small-budget production of "Love Apartment", Tang Ren can't look down on it at all, let alone looking for Xu Jin to act, as soon as this book is handed over, it can't be passed on to Xu Jin's hand at all.

Second, Xu Jin is optimistic about "Love Apartment" for investment, which does not mean that he is interested in this script.

None of the characters in this drama are what he likes, investment is okay, but acting is not necessary.

Not to mention that Xu Jin will invest in many works in the future, if this kind of atmosphere is allowed to spread, wouldn't he have to participate in every work he invests in in the future?

Even if he lacks skills, he can't keep busy!

Xu Jin asked, "Is there no room for negotiation?" ”

Director Wei was silent for a while, and said, "I don't know if they are instigated by anyone behind them, I went to the door one by one to find them, and gave my answers very resolutely."

You have to be in the show to be willing to put your money in, and if you don't, they won't invest. ”

In such a situation, it always feels like someone behind the scenes must force Xu Jin out to act, as if there is a pair of invisible hands controlling all this.

Director Wei asked, "Xu Jin, you haven't offended anyone recently, have you?" ”

Xu Jin was stunned, understood what Director Wei meant, and smiled: "I have offended people, but that person is in Treasure Island, and he can't reach it, so it won't affect my work in the mainland." ”

He pondered for a while, and finally made up his mind: "Since they have to have me to participate in the show before they are willing to invest, then-"

Director Wei's heart lifted, scared and expectant.

I am afraid that Xu Jin will be so angry that he will quit, and the investment will be recovered.

What I expect is that Xu Jin may compromise and come over to participate in a one-star half-star?

Not to mention anything else, just because of Xu Jin's current popularity, as long as he really comes over to participate in "Love Apartment", then this drama will definitely be able to get a lot of attention!

"Then don't let them invest." Xu Jin said lightly.

Director Wei was stunned, "You just ...... Say what? ”

Xu Jin smiled, "Since they have such high requirements one by one, then they don't need to invest." ”

He said lightly: "It just so happened that my salary was paid recently, and I invested all of it in it, occupied more shares, and supported you to shoot it." ”

Director Wei's heart skipped a heavy beat, this is another village!

originally thought that Xu Jin only had two ways to go, such as withdrawal or compromise, but he didn't expect that he would actually walk out of the third way, kick everyone else out, and occupy the biggest card on the field!

Director Wei was moved in his heart, he really wanted to shoot this drama, but the biggest problem with this drama is the funds, without money, nothing can be done.

Since Xu Jin took over, he has never been worried about funds.

I have to say that Xu Jin is really amazing!

He was excited and shouted, "I will definitely shoot it for you!" ”

Xu Jin said: "I didn't have this idea before the salary was paid, but now that I think about it, since I have money, I will simply use it for you to invest."

I occupy the largest shareholder share, and you are a man of words in the crew, and no one can make irresponsible remarks, and you don't have to look at anyone's face. ”

has been in so many crews, and Xu Jin also knows a lot about the crew.

For example, some crew directors are not well-known, not strong enough, and extremely dependent on investors, so it can be said that the investors are their fathers, so there will be a situation where the investors instruct the crew.

Once the crew is completely spoken by the investor, it will fall into a dangerous situation, and the actors will not concentrate on acting, so they can just pull the investor.

I don't know what I thought, Xu Jin apologized: "It's just that this investment can't compare with the investment you brought before, and overall your shooting expenses have become less." ”

Director Wei hurriedly said: "That's not how it is calculated, if you didn't invest in my crew, now I can't even get a little money, you are willing to invest, I am grateful that it is too late to wear it!" ”

"Besides, I didn't plan to make "Love Apartment" so grand, it's just a small-budget production drama, you can shoot it with more money, and you can still shoot it with less money."

Xu Jin nodded: "Okay, I'll transfer the rest of the money." ”

Xu Jin also thought that this was a small-budget production drama, so he chose to invest.

With his funds, large-cost productions can't be involved at all, and those scattered film parties are unwilling to sell, and you can't occupy the slightest share if you don't have one or two million yuan to smash down on a big production.

is like the previous filming of "Painted Skin", with a total investment of up to 100 million, and the investment of 10 million only accounts for 10%.

And the investment ratio is not heavy, the problem is that if you throw so much money into it, you may not be able to earn it back.

Of course, if once you make money and become popular, it will be several times more profitable.

Investment in the film and television industry, first, must have strong financial resources, and second, must have enough patience to take root.

Xu Jin is short of money, but he is not short of patience.

After hanging up Wei Dao's phone, Xu Jin went to the bank to make a large transfer.

The money obtained by investing in "The Ultimate K Family" was spent in an instant, and the life of investors is so unpretentious and boring!

He didn't plan to go back to the company, he didn't like the script, so after thinking about it, he went to the office building to take a look.

After recruiting Shen Jianyong and others, Xu Jin rented an office building to serve as their office building.

The first floor of the office building is very empty, and there are only three of them at the moment, but in the future, Xu Jin believes that the people he recruits will be able to fill this floor, and even rent a few more floors!

Xu Jin suddenly went to visit the class without telling anyone, and when he came to the office, he saw three people who seemed to have "kidney deficiency".

He looked left and right, and he couldn't recognize the original appearance of this office building, how many days had he not come, how could he be made to look like this by these three big men?

Garbage was littered, things were littered, documents were littered, papers were scattered on the floor, and all three of them were asleep on their desks.

Xu Jin: ......

He shouted a few times, and the people slept soundly, and no one responded.

Xu Jin: ......

After thinking about it, he found a horn, and suddenly set off a fire alarm, which immediately woke up the others.

"On fire? Where is the fire? ”

"Fire, fire!"

"Hurry up, don't sleep, let's go!"

The three of them rushed out in a hurry, and before they reached the elevator, they saw Xu Jin sitting in front of the elevator first.

Xu Jin turned off the siren, glanced at them, and said indifferently: "Awake?" ”

The three of them were a little weak when they heard this, and they didn't dare to look up at Xu Jin, and finally Qin Kewen said, "Boss, we can explain." ”

Xu Jin nodded, scratching his ears with his fingers: "Hurry up and explain, I'll see which of you you want to fry?" ”

As the boss, it's okay not to be mad today, you can't be so depraved just because no one cares, these three people joined the company so early, and Xu Jin cultivated them as veterans!

Qin Kewen stubbornly said: "Actually, we will sleep during the day today, and that's because we discussed a script for a long time last night, which caused a lot of controversy, so I really couldn't help sleeping today." ”

Qin Kewen said in the end, the broken jar broke, "And because the discussion was too long, I forgot the time, the door of the building was locked by the doorman last night, and the three of us stayed on this floor for one night."

When the door opened in the morning, I went home in a daze, rinsed it, and rushed back to work. ”

Xu Jin's work for them seems to be very easy, but in fact, it is very stressful, and there is a backlog of many scripts that have not been read.

It takes a few hours to read each script a little, and if you encounter something interesting, you have to focus on it, and this and again, and the discussion of a script takes a day or two.

And this doesn't necessarily lead to a discussion.

Shen Jianyong has always maintained the demeanor of a big brother and couldn't hang up, and said: "Boss, there is too much work, and we are under a lot of pressure." ”

Ding Chengwang, who was silent, couldn't help but nod his head in agreement.

Before they went to work, they had expected that there would be a lot of scripts to review, but they never expected that there would be so many, and it has been half a month since they went to work, and they haven't even emptied 1/2 of their mailboxes.

A large part of this is wasted on the discussion of the script, some people read a script, and they feel that it is feasible or not, so they have to take it out for discussion, but the problem is that all three people have to read the script before they can start a discussion!

So it means that if one person approves of the script, everyone else will also read it.

Not only that, but they also need to set a rating for each script, which is divided into "very good to invest in", "can be invested", and "not invested".

There are so many things to do every day, and the discussion of the script alone takes up most of their time, and they have to take time out of their spare time to read the script.

After all, I have just started working, and I always have to make some achievements for the boss to see, and with such a high salary, if I don't make some achievements, there is a risk of being fired at any time.

After hearing this, Xu Jin couldn't laugh or cry, "So you guys are ......"

"Too much diligence leads to a trance?"

The three nodded in unison.

Qin Kewen and Xu Jin have a good relationship, the two have known each other for a long time, there is no need for him to deceive Xu Jin, not to mention that if he wants to verify the authenticity of Qin Kewen's words, he only needs to check the monitoring of the building.

So Xu Jin believed Qin Kewen's words and didn't check it, after all, if he dared to deceive this kind of thing, then this studio could be said to exist in name only.

Of course, he couldn't say this according to what he thought in his heart, but said, "Since you discussed it for so long yesterday and were locked in the office building, then I will give you a vacation today."

Come back to work tomorrow and have a good rest tonight to recharge your batteries. ”

The words shifted, "I'll take a look at the surveillance later, if you lie—"

He smiled and said, "You should know the consequences, right?" ”

Qin Kewen and the others shook their heads quickly, "Didn't lie!" ”

Facts have proved that they are indeed not lying, and Xu Jin's reputation has soared in their eyes, and they all think that he is a benevolent boss, isn't this sympathetic to them for taking a day off?

When they went to work the next day, they also received a message from Xu Jin at work, saying that he had not planned it before, and that his future work would be one day off a week, and he would have a unified Sunday holiday.

Xu Jin has thought about whether to use compensatory leave, which is more humane.

But thinking that there are few people in the first place, if once the compensatory leave is used, the person who is not there today will not be there, and the person who will not be there tomorrow, their work is not good to start a discussion, so I decided to use a fixed day to rest.

In addition, some welfare guarantees are also going to be bought, but this can be reimbursed to Luo Shaocheng, but it's nothing.

In the evening, Xu Jin opened his mailbox, and Wang Baoqiao had already sent the script "My Brother is Shunyu" to Xu Jin's mailbox.

This drama tells the story of a stunned soldier in the course of the War of Resistance Against Japan, who won many valuable victories for the troops with his outstanding shooting skills, and at the same time he himself grew up under the baptism of artillery fire.

Just by looking at the introduction, Xu Jin knew that this smoothness was none other than Wang Baoqiao.

In China, there are few actors who can have a very down-to-earth image of the people like Wang Baoqiao, but they are very photogenic.

In the future, if you want to make any drama about the rise of little people from the war, you still have to find Wang Baoqiao.

His image is simple, his performance happens to be very simple, and when combined with the war genre, it can produce a very strong sense of substitution.

Of course, Wang Baoqiao is also restricted from many dramas because his personal image is too distinct.

For example, if Xu Jin can act in idol dramas, he can't act in them, and most of the costume martial arts dramas can't be acted, unless they are played for people.

But with Wang Baoqiao's qualifications, even if he is willing to match, his brokerage team will not allow it.

Xu Jin and Wang Baoqiao are opposite, Xu Jin can act in dramas that Wang Baoqiao can't act.

is very suitable for Wang Baoqiao's drama, on the contrary, Xu Jin can't act.

The image doesn't match, and the encore can't play that flavor.

And what Wang Baoqiao wants Xu Jin to come over to play is a clerk, called Hanlin!

Hanlin is another name, the big name is Lu Ziqin, but everyone calls him Hanlin.
