Chapter 47: [Negotiating a New Cooperation]

"Oh?"

Zhang Xueming paused as she added tea to the teapot, her deep eyes raised, and she looked at Lu Zhengyi, "Are you going to make a new film so soon?" ”

"This old corpse in the mountain village has not yet been taken off the theater, although it is now negotiated with the theater party for a one-week release time, but if the results can change, it may be extended to a normal level of one month."

"I can see today's ticket purchase, although it is not a holiday, but there are still many people in the theater to support, and there is a great possibility that the release will be extended."

The film can get a public release license, and the theater chain generally signs it for one month.

But that's the general situation.

Horror films are not in this range.

Unless the results are good enough, the theater is willing to extend.

Lu Zhengyi replied very honestly:

"If it weren't for the lack of budget, I might have already started preparations when I finished cutting the film and submitted it for review."

"I'm not idle."

"Besides, my gang of people are still waiting for me to feed them."

He is not short of money, but others, including Zhang Yu, are still waiting for their salaries.

Entering the group to work, this shot is several months.

Now, they promised that they would do another ticket, and they must be idle at home for a short time, waiting to join the group.

At most, I do part-time work as a daily settlement.

Regarding Lu Zhengyi's answer, Zhang Xueming asked with some surprise while putting the teacup full of tea in front of him with a tong:

"A bunch of people?"

"Don't tell me, you're going to form your own team now."

"You, a young director who has just made a film, are so confident that you can feed so many people?"

Lu Zhengyi's fingers tapped lightly on the table to show his gratitude, "I'm not yet, I'm not going to take such a big step all of a sudden." ”

"In the last film, I worked fairly well with some people in the crew, so I invited them for this new film, and they didn't refuse."

"So the situation now is probably that as long as the funds are in place, my preparations can be completed very quickly."

Of course, he has plans to form his own team, but not now.

I don't have the ability to sign a long-term contract with them to provide them with work and life security.

“…… Okay, I'll take a look. ”

Zhang Xueming did not refuse again.

She wanted to see what kind of book Lu Zhengyi could receive in such a short time.

Lu Zhengyi handed over the script that had been prepared long ago, and while she was reading the script, she drank tea silently without making a sound.

After a while, Zhang Xueming regained her voice, "Bad luck!" ”

"Why are you obsessed with this kind of obscure film?"

"Before it even came out, I started to feel sick."

There was an unconcealable disgust on her face.

Throughout the article, there is only the ultimate 'evil', and the selfish behavior of this heroine really makes people want to vomit.

And......

"It's the ghost again, isn't it?"

She looked at Lu Zhengyi, "I feel that I have to stay away from you." ”

"These scripts you received, how can they all reveal a wrong view."

"Co-authoring, people can't win once, huh? Ghosts are so scary. ”

Zhang Xueming put the script on the table, this attitude, it seems that there is no interest?

Lu Zhengyi's face was very serious, "It's so terrifying." ”

Zhang Xueming was helpless, "What? You've seen it. ”

"Director Lu, to be honest, I'm a little skeptical about your mental condition now."

"If you have a mental problem, then I don't dare to vote for you."

Her eyes were full of anticipation, wanting to see how Lu Zhengyi reacted when she heard these words.

"Then should I go to your company in the afternoon and talk in more detail?"

However, Lu Zhengyi's expression was very calm, "If you are willing to vote, I will find time to prepare for the case in the next two days." ”

"That way, I'll be able to turn it on next month."

"I expect this film to be completed in two to three months."

He did not express any excitement about Zhang Xueming's willingness to invest.

This made her a little disappointed, "You don't seem surprised, I'm willing to join this project, aren't you afraid that I'm afraid of refusal?" ”

"The previous cooperation, although it has not been returned at this stage, you and I should have seen it, and the situation has changed." Lu Zhengyi explained softly, "With the first time it was a pleasant cooperation, and the second chance, I think, you are willing to give it to me." ”

"And, if you don't want to, I actually have some options."

"The value of this new book,I think it's still quite high.。

It's the truth.

Even if Light and Shadow Media is unwilling to invest, when the box office of the old corpse in the mountain village slowly changes, there will definitely be people who are willing to invest in their new book.

These two are just a time gap.

"Then I'll have to get in the car."

The disappointment on Zhang Xueming's face subsided, as if nothing had happened, "However, there is one thing I intend to clarify." ”

"Compared with the value of this script, what I value more is Director Lu, the value of you."

"I'm not a great person personally, but I like it and make friends with great people."

For a beauty, such a straightforward compliment.

Lu Zhengyi smiled casually, "I think Xiao Zhang always underestimates himself too much." ”

He responded to her praise so far, and there was another wave of commercial blowing.

However, the continuation of the cooperation also means that their meeting today does not stop at this restaurant.

In the afternoon, Lu Zhengyi once again visited the building of Light and Shadow Media.

And compared to before, business meetings.

This time, Zhang Xueming did not bring a large group of people to accompany her to the meeting.

The two of them were like in a private room in a restaurant, in her office, chatting about the details separately and negotiating the next new cooperation.

"Dinner ......"

With a document bag in hand, Lu Zhengyi walked out of Zhang Xueming's office.

After noticing the embarrassed expression on her face, his words took a sharp turn, "I may not be able to accompany you, Mr. Zhang." ”

"Next time I have time, I'll make up for this meal."

"I hope that when the time comes, Xiao Zhang will not refuse."

"If someone invites me to dinner, I will definitely not refuse, but I always call me Mr. Zhang, isn't it a little out of sight." Zhang Xueming replied with a smile, "In the future, just call me Xueming, I'll call you...... Ayi? ”

"Is that okay? I'm supposed to be a few years older than you. ”

"It seems to be...... It's four years older, in fact, it's quite appropriate for you to call Sister Xue Ming. ”

Once again, she felt comfortable with Lu Zhengyi's eyes.

Originally, she was a little difficult.

has just been promoted, and Zhang Xueming has a bunch of things to do.

If it weren't for the fact that she glanced at the data of "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" yesterday and felt that it was necessary to have a deep friendship with Lu Zhengyi, she wouldn't have had time to eat any promotions.

Now, not only did she eat the promotion meal, but she also added a job to herself, Zhang Xueming really didn't have time to eat any more dinner.

"Of course, my friend also calls me Ayi."

Lu Zhengyi smiled and waved the document bag, "Then I'll go first, Xue Ming." ”
