Chapter 65: I'm here to invest
Yes?
Hearing Zhao Xiaobei's words, regardless of Xiao Lan or Wang Taili, they were all stunned.
Didn't you come to be a group performer?
"What's the matter, do you think our crew is small, so you came over to be the starring role?"
Wang Taili's brows immediately furrowed, "Dude, there is no shortage of leading actors in our crew, you ......"
"Hey, Wang, how do you speak?"
Xiao Lan stopped Wang Taili, "Brother, I'm sorry, this is my partner Wang Taili, I don't understand what you mean, you want to ......"
"Can I read your script?"
Zhao Xiaobei said very simply: "If your script is suitable, I think I can invest a sum of money." ”
Investment?
At this moment, even Wang Taili turned his head to look at Zhao Xiaobei.
After two minutes, Xiao Lan jumped up directly: "Brother...... No, this gentleman, what did you just say? ”
"I said, I want to see your script."
Zhao Xiaobei repeated: "If the script is suitable, I can invest in your movie." ”
Wang Taili looked at Zhao Xiaobei: "Brother, investing in a movie is not a dinner party, a few hundred or a few thousand can solve it." ”
"If you talk about this movie like ours, you will say 1 million less, which is still less, and it can only account for 50% of the profit, are you sure you want to invest?"
It's not that Wang Taili looks down on Zhao Xiaobei, but it doesn't sound easy to believe.
No matter what you invest in, investors will do a thorough investigation, and it is impossible to invest casually.
What's the matter, it's a lot of money?
"Mr. Wang, I'm already an adult, and I know exactly what I'm doing."
Wang Taili's attitude did not make Zhao Xiaobei angry, or he felt that the other party's attitude was already very polite.
If this happened to him, I'm afraid it would blow people out directly.
"Director Xiao, I'm here with sincerity."
Zhao Xiaobei turned his head, "But the prerequisite for everything is that your script must be excellent, otherwise I wouldn't dare to vote for you, after all, who is not afraid of losing money?" ”
The reason why Zhao Xiaobei came up with the idea of investing was just that he was curious about Xiao Lan and his script.
Good guy, dare to make a movie with an investment of 1.8 million, how confident is this in the script?
"Okay, let's go in and talk."
Xiao Lan came back to his senses, and he was about to lead Zhao Xiaobei inside.
"Wait a minute......"
Wang Taili is still very cautious, "You don't want to plagiarize Lao Xiao's script, right?" ”
Zhao Xiaobei almost laughed out loud!
Just kidding, who is he?
The whole world's film and television dramas exist in his head, and he still needs to plagiarize other people's scripts?
"You can rest assured, sir."
Zhao Xiaobei couldn't hold back a smile, "I can sign a confidentiality agreement with you in a while, and if I leak the content of your script, I will compensate you 1 million!" ”
"Whew!"
Wang Taili exhaled, "Okay, I'll sign the contract first." ”
"Lao Wang, you're too cautious, aren't you?"
Xiao Lan said at this time: "Besides, our book is just like that, and it's just a ...... for big entertainment companies."
Wang Taili didn't care about Xiao Yan's nagging.
However, Zhao Xiaobei can see that it is a little boring:
These two guys sing a duet with here, one sings white-faced and the other red-faced, and the cooperation is quite tacit.
To put it bluntly, it's just to prevent him from leaking relevant information!
……
In Xiao Lan's nagging, the three of them had already arrived in a room on the right side of the studio.
The furnishings in the room are simple, two sofas, a coffee table, a water dispenser, and an air conditioner.
A tea set is placed on the coffee table, as well as a laptop and a printer.
"Sorry, it's a little rudimentary."
Xiao Xiao made tea for Zhao Xiaobei from the side, and chatted casually: "Haven't you asked my brother Gao's name yet?" ”
"Zhao Xiaobei."
Zhao Xiaobei took off his sunglasses, "Director Xiao, I'm glad to do it." ”
Zhao Xiaobei?
Wang Taili stood up from the sofa suddenly, and those squinting eyes instantly glared at the boss!
Xiao Mian was also shocked, so much so that he didn't notice that the hot water brewed into the teacup was overflowing.
Zhao Xiaobei, this is Zhao Xiaobei!
Some time ago, there was a lot of news on the Internet, all about Zhao Xiaobei.
Coupled with the upload of several popular songs in a row, Zhao Xiaobei became an instant hit in the Xia Guo entertainment circle!
In the entire Xia Kingdom, who doesn't know him if he is in the entertainment industry?
"Ahem......"
Zhao Xiaobei coughed lightly, "Director Xiao, that, tea, tea ......"
"Huh? Oooh! ”
Xiao Yan's hands trembled, and he quickly lifted the teapot, and at the same time began to apologize, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was a little stunned just now!" ”
Mr. Zhao...... Oh no, Mr. Zhao! ”
Wang Taili also said cleanly: "I'm really sorry just now, I didn't expect you to ......"
"Mr. Wang, you are too polite, it's always right to be cautious."
Zhao Xiaobei smiled, "If I were to change it, if someone came over so rashly and said that he wanted to invest in movies, I would definitely think he was crazy." ”
"Teacher Zhao is serious."
was interrupted by Zhao Xiaobei like this, and Xiao Lan also let go:
"We mainly thought it was too pleasantly surprised, you don't know, I pulled 1.5 million investments before, but then they all withdrew."
"I'm worried about the lack of funds, and suddenly someone comes up to ask, and we're afraid it's an illusion."
"Director Xiao is quite humorous."
Zhao Xiaobei laughed, "Then can we sign a confidentiality agreement now?" Also, show me the troublesome script......"
"Okay, I'll print it now."
Xiao Yan nodded, and then sat in front of the computer and tinkered a few times.
As the printer operated, a non-disclosure agreement was printed.
Zhao Xiaobei looked at the content, there was no problem, he took out a pen directly from his pocket and signed his name.
"Mr. Zhao, this is the script."
Wang Taili handed over a thick notebook in due course.
Zhao Xiaobei took the book, opened it and looked at it:
Movie Title: "That Year of Youth"
Producers: Xiao Lan, Wang Taili
Producer: Xiao Lan, Wang Taili
Screenwriter: Xiao Lu
Director: Xiao Lu
Synopsis: One of the protagonists, Xiao Dabao, was a stream when he was a student. The head of the gang has bullied many people, including Wang Xiaoshuai and Bao Xiaobai......
The content of the script is not short, and after reading the previous plot introduction, in fact, the main content of the whole movie is almost understood.
To put it bluntly, it is the story of two middle-aged people chasing their teenage dreams.
Half an hour later, Zhao Xiaobei put the script aside and pinched his eyebrows.
This story is very similar to the content of a micro-film called "Old Boy" in Zhao Xiaobei's previous life, but it is not as detailed as the micro-film in terms of detail portrayal.
And the film is not aimed at a video streaming platform, but wants to be released in cinemas.
That's a bit whimsical!
It is not a famous director's work, there are no well-known actors, small productions, and tight budgets......
All kinds of reasons combine to doom it to be on the big screen!
"Teacher Zhao."
Xiao Lan rubbed his hands a little crampedly, "What do you think?" ”
Wang Taili also set his eyes on it.
Although Zhao Xiaobei became famous for his lyrics and music creation, they knew that he worked in the film and television creation department of China Entertainment Media.
The lyrics and music creation ability is so strong, as the film and television creation of his own job, can it be worse?
"As far as the script itself is concerned, there is nothing wrong with it except that the details need to be a little more fine."
Zhao Xiaobei glanced at the two of them, "But ......"
A sentence of but, Xiao Lan and Wang Taili suddenly raised their hearts.
"If you want to put it on the big screen, you can't."
Zhao Xiaobei shook his head, "The spiritual core is not rich enough. Ying, but also in terms of actors, shooting...... IMHO, a lot worse. ”
