Chapter 1263: Wake Up! Love Brain! (24)
In the fourteenth year of the millennium, Xu Yin received a call from Wang Luhui who was so excited that he was visiting the most famous film and television base in China when he had pulled a thousand foreign exchange orders.
Lawyer Feng came here to appear in court in the past two days, and she happened to be on vacation in a small surrounding town, and the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they simply flew over to meet.
Lawyer Feng was about to noon after the trial, and Xu Yin came early, so she took a taxi to the film and television base to have a walk.
Once in a small world, she was also a frequent visitor here, but filming and travel are the same after all, not to mention that it has been so long, and she is in a different background, and the plausible revisiting of the old place gives people a different kind of freshness.
On the phone, I congratulated Mr. Wang, and made an appointment to visit the helicopter production base when I went back to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
It's a shame to say that she, the major shareholder, has performed the handshake shopkeeper to the fullest, except for one time when she signed the contract, in the past few years, she has either video conferences, conference calls, or email exchanges, and people have never been there once.
“…… Then it's decided, I'm waiting for Mr. Xu to come at the base. ”
Xu Yin: "Okay, good. ”
Wang Luhui: Mr. Xu, if you are so perfunctory, I will be sad.
Xu Yin: Sadness is always inevitable.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yin glanced at the time, it was not yet the time agreed with Lawyer Feng, so let's continue shopping.
"Mr. Liao, listen to me, this is really a good script, if it is not a good script, we will not spend energy on filming, if you don't spare some time, I will send you the script, and then ...... after reading the script."
Xiao Zhiqiang listened to the busy sound from the mobile phone, obviously the other party was impatient to listen to him, and hung up the phone.
He sighed, and continued to look for the bigwigs in the address book who might have a glimmer of hope to invest in this movie, but most of them have been found, either they don't look down on the small-budget production directed by this new generation of directors and without the participation of top stars, or they want to borrow money to plug people, but the existing actors are halfway through the filming, besides, those actors were personally interviewed and selected by the director one by one, each of them is very in line with the script role, and the temporary replacement is equal to all the previous filming to be reversed, which is not only disrespectful to the director, is even more irresponsible for this film.
Although he is just a tepid small producer, in business, not as concerned about the quality of the script as the director, but this is halfway through, and the temporary replacement is always an obliteration of those past efforts, if only he could find an investor who can look up to this book and not blindly mix with the filming process.
"Hey, is it Mr. Gu? I'm Xiao Zhiqiang Xiao Xiao of Wenhua Production Company! Do you still have an impression of what we saw at the Golden Jasmine Awards? yes, I have a drama on hand right now...... Mr. Gu? Mr. Gu? ”
"Hello Mr. Fang! I'm Xiao Zhiqiang from Wenhua, I wonder if you are interested in investing in a low-budget work...... Haven't you been thinking about that lately? Oh well, excuse me! We will work together next time! ”
"Hello Mr. Luo, I am Xiao Zhiqiang produced by Wenhua, and I want to cooperate with you in a drama recently, you can see ...... Mr. Luo? ”
"Hey, Brother Tao, I'm Xiao Zhiqiang, do you have a big guy here who wants to project a film and television drama recently? To tell you the truth, I'm in some trouble now, and the lead drama investor has run away...... Yes, you say bad luck or not! This is really a good drama, and it would be a shame to put it aside and let it be dusted...... What's your name? Didn't I say it? "Night Trace" is about...... Hey, Brother Tao, will you listen to me...... Brother Tao? Brother Tao? ”
“……”
When Xu Yin sat down to drink water and rest at the stone table, in just three or five minutes, she heard a small producer claiming to be produced by Wenhua make no less than a dozen phone calls, all of which were rejected for investment.
At first, she didn't take it to heart, there must be success and failure in pulling investment, and it is impossible for everyone to succeed.
However, it wasn't until he mentioned this psychological suspense film called "Night Trace" that he suddenly remembered that in the original text, Fang Haocheng invested in this "Night Trace", which was unpopular in the early stage and exploded in the later stage, not only made a lot of money, but also took the opportunity to open the door to enter the film and television industry, established an entertainment company, and took his wife and children to experience a family variety show, which was really popular for a while.
So much so that a few years later, real estate companies around the world fell into the downturn of the collapse of the real estate bubble, but he smoothly transitioned to another investment field after making a wave of profits, and was the least injured among the real estate tycoons.
But this time, listening to Xiao Zhiqiang's tone, Fang Haocheng didn't seem to invest? Don't be your own butterfly, right?
"Hello, take the liberty of asking, the Mr. Fang you contacted earlier, but Fang Haocheng of Li Hao Real Estate?" Xu Yin took the initiative to ask when Xiao Zhiqiang encountered Waterloo again and sat down on the stone bench next to him in frustration.
"yes."
Xiao Zhiqiang looked up and saw that it was a stranger, although he didn't understand why she asked this, but he was about to feel depressed and urgently needed to find someone to communicate, so he and Xu Yin said without saying a word across a bench:
"Alas, the original investor didn't know whether he encountered something or regretted it halfway, we urged and asked for it, and it dragged on and on, and now I don't even answer the phone."
"We are originally a poor crew, the actors are all newcomers, and the director is also a new generation who has just graduated, although he has directed an online drama with a good response, but the movie is still the first attempt, and no investor is optimistic about him. The previous one, I begged my grandfather and grandmother to pull it, and in the end...... Alas, maybe it's because of my natal year, the passing year is not good! ”
Speaking of this, he looked at Xu Yin: "Do you know Mr. Fang?" I don't know him very well, and I'm introduced to him occasionally. At that time, he was a little interested in investing in scripts, but this time, he didn't seem to have any ideas about it. If you can't find an investor, this book can only be stranded, not to mention the previous white investment, this is really a good script, it's a pity......"
Xu Yin asked: "In addition to the need for funds, do you have any other requirements for investors?" ”
"Something else? What are the requirements? “
"For example, the investor needs to be present during the filming process, or the investor needs to give guidance on shooting."
Xiao Zhiqiang smiled bitterly: "Are you satirizing the crew?" If it weren't for the boss who paid for it, who would welcome them to inspect the site twice in three days? When they come, we are not allowed to accompany them? Isn't the filming slowing down? Also pointing fingers...... Isn't there no way to do it, unless it's a matter of principle such as changing actors and drastically modifying the plot, you can follow the wishes of the owner's father, and generally try to meet it. ”
Xu Yinmo rubbed his chin and nodded clearly: "So, qualified investors only need to contribute money, and nothing else has to be cared for?" ”
"You're not just talking about qualified investors, they're just the most popular and excellent investors."
Xiao Zhiqiang doesn't think that there is such a thoughtful investor father in this world.
After all, real money has been paid, and for the sake of the later rate of return, you will want to ask a question or two with some unease.
Xu Yin smiled and said, "Don't worry! I'm not going to ask, on the contrary, I hope you don't bother me. ”
“???”
In Xiao Zhiqiang's suspicious eyes, Xu Yin opened her bag and took out a checkbook, and wrote a cash check on the spot: "I remember you said that this is a small-budget production, and 30 million is enough for you to announce it after filming and before the release, right?" ”
“!!!”
