206, audition? Why don't you come to me and try it?
Xu Yi said it very sincerely.
Although this kind of vernacular is not convincing at all, anyone who changes investors to sit here will directly throw a sentence to Xu Yi: You can make money if you say you can make it? When the movie is made, do you go to the private venue to watch it?
But the strange thing is that Zhong Guoliang nodded very seriously and said:
"I believe it."
Does he really believe that movies make money?
Not necessarily.
But he believed in Xu Yi as a person. This young man is very safe. Although Zhong Guoliang didn't know where Xu Yi's confidence came from, he knew that Xu Yi had no reason to make a special trip to cheat his money.
With Xu Yi's current reputation in the entertainment industry, it will not be too difficult for him to make money.
Moreover, even if someone wants to cheat money from him Zhong Guoliang, even if he has a life to cheat, he has to have a life to spend.
Zhong Guoliang's easy statement made Xu Yi a little dazed:
"You...... Do you really believe it? ”
"Why don't you believe it?" Zhong Guoliang picked up the teacup, smelled the fragrance of tea, then took a sip of tea, and said, "Since it is Brother Xu, you said that you can make money, I naturally believe it." If this matter were to be said by another person, then I would definitely not believe it. ”
This kind of Chiguoguo's trust in Xu Yi not only did not make Xu Yi feel relaxed, but felt a heavy weight.
Being able to make money is based on Xu Yi's experience in his previous life.
But in this life, is it still possible to make so much money, in fact, Xu Yi does not dare to pack tickets 100%.
"Mr. Zhong, you ......"
Xu Yi hesitated and said, "Why don't you think about it again, and then reply to me after thinking clearly." ”
Seeing Xu Yi like this, Zhong Guoliang laughed and said:
"Don't think about it, my time is precious."
"Tell me, how much do you want?"
Atmospheric!
Why the hell do rich people always talk so aggressively?
Seeing this, Xu Yi knew that the opportunity could not be missed, maybe he hesitated, but he would bury this investment. He immediately said: "At present, the tone given to me by the General Army Art Center is that there is still a gap of 200 million. I think so, I take 100 million out, Mr. Zhong, you also take 100 million, let's buy shares together, how about it? ”
Hearing that Xu Yi himself was willing to take 100 million out, Zhong Guoliang couldn't help frowning.
What does this mean?
Shows that this movie will really make money!
How Xu Yi earned this 100 million, others don't know, but Zhong Guoliang knows too well. With Xu Yi's net worth of working hard in the entertainment industry, he is still far from 100 million. It is not easy for him to earn 100 million, since he can take it out so easily, it can only mean one thing:
This movie not only earns, but also makes a lot of money.
Attaboy!
Thinking about this section, Zhong Guoliang couldn't help but say:
"Two hundred million?"
"It's not much, or I'll just wrap it up. You're still young, it's not easy to save some money......"
As soon as he heard this, Xu Yi immediately distinguished: "Don't, don't mind!" Mr. Zhong, what are you doing here, what if you lose it? I can't put all the risk on you! Let's share the risks and benefits together. ”
Zhong Guoliang was just trying Xu Yi, but seeing that Xu Yi was in a hurry, he said with a smile:
"I'm finally convinced now that the movie you said could make money."
"Not bad."
"There is an opportunity to make money, and it is not in vain to be able to think of me, a half-pulled old man. One hundred million is one hundred million, I will ask my assistant to contact you when I go back, and he will dock with you for specific matters. ”
Xu Yi smiled, this matter is even a fall.
Zhong Guoliang wanted to stay with Xu Yi for dinner, and Xu Yi naturally refused. If you take someone else's and eat someone else's, can this look good? It's better to withdraw as soon as possible! However, Zhong Guoliang did not let go of Xu Yi:
"What's the matter, I invest 100 million out, can't I let you accompany you to dinner?"
Xu Yi: "Ah...... Yes, of course. ”
The 100 million you have in hand can't just fly.
There was no way, Xu Yi had to stay and eat. The nanny got the hint of eating, and immediately began to work, and after a while, seven or eight plates were brought out one after another. Seeing this, Xu Yi wondered:
"Mr. Zhong, do we have any other guests today?"
Zhong Guoliang shook his head, "No, just the two of us." I went to get a drink, which was kind of a celebration of the movie hit in advance. ”
Xu Yi was speechless.
Two people, how can they eat so many dishes.
Although this meal was a little 'serving', fortunately, the nanny's cooking skills were good, at least three ranks higher than that of Fat Orange, so Xu Yi also ate happily. He is not very good at drinking, but for the sake of that 100 million face, he took the initiative to touch a few glasses with Zhong Guoliang.
The next day, Zhong Guoliang's assistant took the initiative to contact Xu Yi to communicate about the capital injection.
Xu Yicai woke up from the hangover, and even asked the other party to wait first. In this matter, I have to talk to Lu Yilian about what process to go through, what contract to sign, everything is in accordance with the business model.
Favors belong to favors, and business belongs to business.
A yard is a yard.
Xu Yi also knows this very clearly.
The rules and regulations in the early stage are clear, and there will be much fewer things in the later stage. Xu Yi washed up briefly, and directly communicated with Lu Yi on the phone: "Chief, good morning!" ”
Lu Yilian: "It's Brother Xu, is there good news?" ”
Xu Yi: "The chief is amazing, and he guessed it right at a glance." I did raise 200 million on my side, and I can invest in it. How should the chief decide how to arrange the specific shareholding matters? ”
On the other end of the phone, Lu Yilian was excited:
"Really? Is it really 200 million? ”
"Ah, Brother Xu, you are really a lucky general, a lucky general!"
"I'll arrange it, and I'll start arranging it right away. Don't worry, you can't go wrong. ”
According to the total investment of 350 million yuan in the film, Xu Yi invested 200 million yuan, accounting for 57.15% of the shares, and is the absolute major shareholder. As for Zhong Guoliang's side, he did not sign a separate contract, but signed a merger investment agreement with Xu Yi, and calculated it together.
In this way, on the bright side, Xu Yi has the right to speak in this movie.
He became a veritable investor.
Who to use and who not to use, he can have the final say.
How to shoot and where to shoot? When it will be released and what the special effects should look like, he can also have the final say.
After all the contract matters were settled, the script was almost polished. Lu Yilian notified Xu Yi as soon as the script came out, and asked Xu Yi to look at it and put forward some suggestions and opinions.
Xu Yi was also polite.
Now I threw my entire net worth into it with real money, of course, I have to ask about everything. Any mistake in any detail or mistake in any link is not allowed.
Xu Yi spent three days reading the entire script carefully.
and circled all his suggestions, he can't write a script, but based on his movie-watching memories in his previous life, he can roughly judge which plots are obviously dragging out and can be deleted. Which plot tensions are sufficient, should be expanded.
The funds are in place, the script is formed, and the director is in place.
At present, the entire "Operation Red Sea" project is short of actors, and once all the actors are decided, then even if the crew is formed, they can start filming directly. According to the current script, this movie is actually multi-protagonist, not a traditional male and female, which is the same as in the previous life.
Lu Yilian asked Xu Yi's opinion, and Xu Yi's own idea was that he could play the captain Yang Rui or the sniper Gu Shun.
"Or a sniper? I heard from Lao Tan that your marksmanship is very good. ”
"What about the other actors, do you have any suggestions?"
Because of investment, Xu Yi's identity has undergone a fundamental change. Therefore, Lu Yilian will ask Xu Yi's opinion on this kind of matter. I only heard Xu Yidao: "Chief, I don't have any suggestions, let's just follow the normal line, normal casting, audition." Listen more to the director. ”
Lu Yilian is as good as a stream: "Okay, if you say this, I will be relieved." ”
I'm worried about you kid Fortress people!
The sniper Gu Shun has not a lot of scenes in this movie, and there are even a few scenes of fighting with enemy snipers, which can be called classics. Although Xu Yi has obtained the skill of 'acting skills - reaching the peak', he has never actually performed after all, and it is too difficult for a rookie actor to provoke the backbone of a movie. It's not that acting is difficult, but the market appeal is difficult.
But if it is a group movie, then it is reasonable for Xu Yi to play an important role in it.
The role of the captain, in fact, Xu Yi thought about letting Wu Zilong play it.
But he doesn't want to interfere too much.,The director should have his own ideas after reading the book.,Everything is according to the director.。 In this part of creation, Xu Yi still has great respect for professionals.
……
Dongzhi Gate, inside the courtyard.
Xu Yi rarely emptied himself, and he didn't know where to find an old copy of "The Self-cultivation of Actors", lying under the shade of the tree in the yard, flipping through it at will. When Fat Orange passed by, he still wondered:
"Boss, you've been writing this book for some years, aren't you?"
"Buy it online, just take a look." Xu Yi casually perfunctory.
Fat Tangerine stopped and asked carefully, "Is the movie ready to start?" ”
Xu Yi sat up and said with a smile:
"Why do you ask?"
"You've started reading acting books, I guess you want to make up for your acting skills, right?" Fat Orange seemed to be a clear-eyed person, and said secretly, "But if you want me to say, boss, you just rely on your appearance, why do you want to fight with those powerful factions for acting?" ”
Xu Yi: "Superficial~"
Seeing this, Fat Orange asked again:
"This is your first time acting in a movie, is it the leading actor? Who is the heroine? ”
"Hmm...... The cast hasn't been completely decided yet. Xu Yi thought about it and said honestly: "But I'm shooting a military war movie, not a romance movie, what kind of male protagonist and heroine, there are no such scenes of love and love." ”
Fat Tangerine was slightly disappointed and said:
"Okay then."
"I thought you could take advantage of the filming time to bring a boss lady back by the way!"
Xu Yi: "......"
If you really want to add a hostess to this courtyard, it shouldn't be too difficult, right? For some reason, at this moment, the faces of Chu Ningning and Meng Xiling flashed in Xu Yi's mind. He then shook his head and laughed at himself:
Thinking too much, thinking too much.
My goal is to make money, retire, and lie flat!
As for women...... For the time being, it will only affect the speed at which I can make money.
In this way, bathed in the warm spring sun, Xu Yi was on the recliner, holding "The Self-cultivation of Actors" in his hand, and gradually fell asleep. A few days ago, I stayed up late to change the script, but I really didn't sleep too well. Today's sun is very warm, the shadows of the trees are waving, and the recliner shakes and shakes, and the person is shaken.
Until a piercing phone rang:
"Hey, Lao Li?"
Li Xun: "Lao Xu, why don't you sleep here?" It's a great day, everyone else is struggling, are you sleeping? Doesn't your conscience hurt? ”
Li Xun's voice came, and although it was separated by the phone line, he could still feel the expression of this kid at this moment.
Xu Yi rubbed his eyes and said:
"Refuse to roll in, start with me."
"Don't talk nonsense." Li Xun said, "Didn't I promise to take you to audition last time?" How about it, do you have time tomorrow, just here in the western suburbs of Beijing, there is an online drama crew, saying that there is still a third male shortcoming, I recommended you. ”
Xu Yi didn't think about it, and directly refused:
"Oh, I'm not going."
"Lao Li, I have received your heart, I have received it. Really, but the web drama ...... What is this? Don't tell me, you're going to shoot an online drama? ”
The current online drama has just started, and there is still at least two years of development period before it becomes high-quality.
Therefore, the entire online drama market is mixed.
The content of the shooting, the choice of actors, and the costumes are actually very poor. Many rookie actors who are not alive basically start filming from this kind of scene. If you become popular and have capital to hold it, you will be able to take over some dramas slowly.
When Li Xun heard Xu Yi's words, he said with a smile:
"It's just a mess of food, and I'll go to the audition tomorrow."
"Really?"
Xu Yi stood up from the recliner all of a sudden, he wanted to play the sniper Gu Shun in "Operation Red Sea", there happened to be an observer Li Dong's role that no one has played, if Li Xun is allowed to try, it should be good?
After all, if you want to partner with a stranger, it is better to partner with Li Xun.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi immediately said:
"Lao Li, I have a job here, I don't know if you're interested?"
Li Xun: "I really can't play singing." ”
Xu Yi: "It's not this, there is a movie, invest four or five hundred million." Their crew is selecting actors, if you are interested, I can take you to try it, maybe the director will take a fancy to it? ”
"Really?!"
Li Xun's voice instantly raised several octaves.
He was a little disbelieving, and asked suspiciously: "Lao Xu, are you making fun of me?" ”
Xu Yi: "If you don't believe it, I can't help it." ”
Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway. Not only did I believe it, I threw in 100 million ......
Hearing that Xu Yi didn't seem to be joking, Li Xun hurriedly admitted his mistake:
"Don't!"
"Brother Xu, you are my own brother. Which crew is it, why haven't I heard that there are any big-budget movies going to start filming recently? Are you sure you're going to audition tomorrow, then I'll push the online drama here...... By the way, where are the auditions? Do you come to me, or do I come to you......"
Xu Yi frowned: Is it really the right decision to find Li Xun to partner with him? (End of chapter)
