Chapter 0170: Small money, small money, it's all small money
The previous movie "Gu Witch" allowed Li Yu to accumulate a lot of reputation.
Even if he is a rookie director and a rookie actor, the box office of the movie is there, and there are still many people who trust him.
There were several phone calls that came in, most of them were self-nominations, and they wanted to follow along to participate in the movie.
Among them are Nie Zhe and Yang Simeng, as well as Wu Yun.
Luo Meng also called to ask if there was anything he could do to help, and asked Li Yu to speak.
Ding Qiang also said the same thing, and said that if you need to invest or find actors, he can help.
The last call was from Chen Baozhen, who was with Hua Yihan.
The other phones are gone, and there are very few people in the entertainment industry who know his personal mobile phone number.
"Mr. Li, can you let Yihan read the script?"
Chen Baozhen's implication is that Hua Yihan has the intention of participating in the movie.
After knowing each other for so long, Li Yu can always come up with amazing works, whether it is suitable or not, in addition to expressing concern and condolences when he calls.
And what if the movie is good, wouldn't you have seized a chance?
Whether you participate in a performance or invest, as long as you can make money.
"Sister Chen, this movie can't be acted." Li Yu didn't even want to refuse directly.
"Why?"
"He's so handsome." Li Yu added in his heart, but he was a little worse than me.
When he said this, he meant another thing.
It's just a refusal.
Hua Yihan is handsome enough, but he is a little worse than Li Yu is real, not that he is narcissistic.
"Mr. Li, what you said, why can't you act if you're too handsome? In this way, we are going to come to the capital tomorrow, and we will go to your place, can we? ”
The next day, Li Yu's studio.
Chen Baozhen and Hua Yihan came to visit with gifts, and there was another person with them.
A middle-aged man, with a big belly, looks pampered at first glance.
is called Huo Zhentian, vice president of the sound emperor.
The decoration of the studio is average, but it is big enough, and the entire floor is given by Dong Wei for free.
Hua Yihan looked at the studio and exclaimed: "Mr. Li, your studio is too big, right?" My studio in Xiangjiang is half the size of your office, so I'm really rich. ”
Xiangjiang is a place where every inch of land is expensive, and it would be nice to have a studio.
But Hua Yihan also has a studio in the mainland, which is also not as big as here.
"No money." Li Yu replied.
"No, no money?" The two were stunned, although this place is far away from the city, but it will cost a lot of money to buy it, right?
The two misunderstood that Li Yu bought it, so they didn't have to spend money to rent it.
Li Yu didn't explain, beckoned the three of them to sit, and Zhang Yang went to pour tea.
"This is the script, let's take a look." Li Yu didn't ink either, and handed the script to the three of them.
There is only one copy of the script, which is the original manuscript, and Li Yu did not copy it.
Chen Baozhen took it over, didn't even look at it, and handed it over to Huo Zhentian directly.
Li Yu understood, the person who spoke to the three of them was Huo Zhentian.
Even Hua Yihan could only sit obediently and not say a word, Huo Zhentian had a very heavy voice in the sound emperor.
Li Yu was especially glad that after entering the entertainment industry, he didn't agree to anyone who asked him to sign a contract, otherwise he would have to be like Hua Yihan, even if he is already a superstar, there is still a boss on it.
Some decisions have to be agreed by the company's senior leaders.
Li Yu didn't like this feeling and was aggrieved.
Five minutes later, Huo Zhentian was still reading the script.
Ten minutes passed, and Huo Zhentian still had no intention of stopping.
Chen Baozhen was not easy to urge, so he could only give Li Yu an apologetic look frequently.
Hua Yihan came behind Huo Zhentian curiously, he wanted to know how good the script of "Scorching Sun" was, and he could let Huo Zhentian watch it for so long.
Huo Zhentian was born as a director in Xiangjiang in his early years, and later cooperated with the current boss of Yinhuang and single-handedly founded Yinhuang Company.
Even if he hasn't directed a movie for many years, his ability to appreciate the script is still there.
There aren't many scripts that can get him in, and it's the first time in all these years.
Hua Yihan stood behind him and watched, and also silently watched in, and didn't move a step for a long time.
Chen Baozhen was bored and leaned over, and then kept a leaning posture for a long time and did not move.
The movie "Scorching Sun" has a plot and depth, a rare crime-themed masterpiece, and it is normal for the three of them to be able to watch it.
But being able to watch it for so long was something Li Yu didn't expect.
You know, it's just a script, and it hasn't been made into a movie yet.
If you watch a movie, you can still talk about it...... Li Yu gradually figured out that there were too few excellent works in this parallel world, which led to the three of them being fascinated by every script.
Li Yu was not in a hurry, he didn't urge them, and waited for them to watch slowly.
But I was thinking, if the script of "Infernal Affairs" was taken out, what kind of expressions would they have?
Half an hour later, perhaps it was too tiring to maintain the same position, Huo Zhentian finally thought of moving, he moved his body and planned to continue reading, and suddenly realized that this was reading the script in someone else's studio, and it was rude to keep reading it.
Huo Zhentian closed the script, Chen Baozhen took it and continued to read it, Hua Yihan followed back and sat down, and continued to read.
Huo Zhentian looked at Li Yu, and his originally calm eyes were already hot: "Mr. Li, take the liberty of asking, did you write this script?" ”
"I wrote it."
"It's so well written!"
Huo Zhentian's volume suddenly increased, scaring the focused Chen Baozhen and Hua Yihan.
Chen Baozhen glared at him angrily: "Mr. Huo, can you not be so excited, it seems that you have never seen the world." ”
"Have you ever seen such a good script?" Huo Zhentian asked unceremoniously.
"Nope." Chen Baozhen paused for a moment before answering, obviously asked.
Li Yu thought, is this script very good?
I've never seen the world.
"That's it, Mr. Li," Huo Zhentian looked at Li Yu again, and his tone was excited: "Our Yinhuang Company wants to invest in this movie, do you see?" ”
Li Yu is not short of investment, the money earned from stock trading, the money earned from concerts, plus his savings, are enough for him to finish filming this movie.
Moreover, he is not worried at all that the movie will not make money when it is released.
In the current film market, bad movies are frequent, and the release of "Scorching Sun" is a dimensionality reduction blow. Even if the money is not enough, Li Yu sells the house, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to earn it back if he borrows money.
"Mr. Huo, the investment is enough, you guys are late."
There is another reason why Li Yu does not accept investment, that is, he is worried that the investor will point fingers and stuff some new people in.
This kind of thing is often seen in the entertainment industry, and bad movies come out like this.
"Mr. Li, are you still worried about a lot of money?" Huo Zhentian was surprised in his heart, he only announced yesterday that he was going to make a movie, and the investment was in place today, and the speed was too fast.
Then he figured out that Li Yu's news yesterday was for publicity, not to attract investment.
"I made some money by trading stocks, and I still have some savings, which is enough."
"Didn't you just donate 650 million? Got money left? ”
"Small money, small money, it's all small money."
Li Yu's answer made the three of them speechless, and they even had the urge to hit someone.
