Chapter 403 Are You Kidding?
Liang Yuan looked a little excited after hearing Lin Xing's words: "Ah? Brother Xing, have you heard of me??"
Lin Xing smiled and said: "I first knew you because of your identity as a fisherman, but then you promoted "Evil Child", and I also like to read online articles. I am a fan of every online article. I saw your name on the list..."
At present, all online article writers regard Liang Yuan as a financial sponsor. In fact, 100 yuan is considered too much for others to read books. However, Liang Yuan’s reward is as low as 1,000 yuan, and many even exceed 10,000 yuan.
As Liang Yuan said before, the amount of rewards I receive in a year is even less than the number of games I play.
If you have money, you can do whatever you want.
What's more, Liang Yuan's parents are quite content. As long as they don't start a business, they can spend whatever they want.
Whether it's fishing, posting online articles, or even traveling around the world, you're not afraid of bankrupting your family.
Only starting a business will lead to bankruptcy.
Just look at Xin Hui and you will know that he is really crazy and even a few small goals are not enough.
Just so, Liang Yuan's parents were really pleased that their son was not doing his job properly.
What no one expected was that Xin Hui was suddenly taken away by Lin Xing. The game "Secret Lurker" was truly a phenomenal game.
As for the movie "Killing Arden", Xin Hui's investment was also small and generous, and even everyone just thought that Xin Hui was too awesome.
Of course, if it had been left to that time, I'm afraid no one would be willing to invest in "Killing Arden."
As Xin Hui said in an interview, I invested in "Killing Arden" not because of how good the movie was, but because of Lin Xing.
Blindly trusting Lin Xing might be a joke, but judging from Xin Hui's current situation, Xin Hui has become the object of everyone's envy and jealousy.
Even Liang Yuan's parents began to change some of their ideas. Of course, they would not let Liang Yuan really start a business, but they just felt that the Xin family was really lucky.
Liang Yuan's father even sighed to Liang Yuan: "This is the benefit of holding the thigh. As long as the thigh can be held well, a pig can fly."
Liang Yuan took these words to heart. He and Xin Hui are good buddies. Now that Xin Hui develops better, Liang Yuan will naturally be happier, and he is also straight to the point.
When will there be another investment, please call me.
Naturally, Xin Hui agreed and even said that he would meet Lao Lin at that time.
As a result, Lin Xing was either filming a movie or a TV series, attending an award ceremony, or doing a roadshow when the movie was released.
He even thought about waiting for Lin Xing to be free, but Lin Xing wanted to wander around again.
This is really a coincidence.
"I originally wanted to introduce you to Lao Liang, but you called me right now. And why are you in Jiangcheng??"
Xin Hui asked in astonishment.
"Let me introduce to you. This is Qi Ning, Brother Ning. He wrote a script "Going to Heaven" and I thought it was quite good. Now I still need some funds..."
Before Lin Xing finished speaking, Liang Yuan on the side became excited: "It's easy to talk about the difference in money. How many tens of millions are needed?"
"By the way, Lao Lin, I forgot to tell you that Liang Yuan also wants to invest in the film and television industry. He wants to see me follow you and my reputation will suddenly rise. He also wants to have a try..."
Xin Hui said with a smile: "So if you can, take Lao Liang with you."
"Liang Yuan, no investment is 100% profitable. The games I made with Xin Hui and the movies I invested in were all due to good luck. I..."
Lin Xing didn't really want to raise Liang Yuan's expectations too much. Sometimes it was better to say something in advance.
"Hey, Brother Xing, who do you think I am?"
Liang Yuan said hurriedly: "Of course I know that it is impossible to protect your investment 100%. I just want you to play with me. I know a little bit about the film and television industry. There are too many pitfalls. I am really worried about other people... …”
"Old Lin, don't worry, Lao Liang is not the kind of person who is not open-minded."
Xin Hui said quickly at this time.
"Okay, then Brother Ning, you go back and calculate the cost of this movie, and then Xin Hui and Liang Yuan will make up the specific difference..."
Lin Xing said: "You can talk to my agent about my remuneration. No matter what kind of cooperation it is, it doesn't matter..."
Qi Ning was a little confused.
In fact, he has been stuck in the investment and production of "Going to Heaven". You may not think that he is so powerful, but in fact he only attracted a total of 20 million in investment.
This money is not enough to hire a big name, but other things are not enough.
Originally, Qi Ning wanted to invite Lin Xing to participate in the show and then use Lin Xing's reputation to invest.
Again, as long as Lin Xing can participate in the show, he can really attract investment.
Qi Ning did talk to Lin Xing about this on the way. He felt that Lin Xing was so sincere and he couldn't be too deceptive. Qi Ning even felt that if Lin Xing could accept it, then Lin Xing could get a salary plus a share of the film studio.
You must know that "Going to Heaven" is a literary and artistic film in a strict sense. In fact, the upper limit of such a literary and artistic film is really not high.
Everyone can't be a movie like "Sunspot".
The result was good, Lin Xing took Qining directly to see Xin Hui and Liang Yuan.
Two sponsors.
This is a direct question: is 100 million enough?
Even Liang Yuan said: "This is my first time investing in a movie. You must not settle for anything. We must make everything exquisite and absolutely cannot save money. I don't have much other things, but I have a lot of money."
Xin Hui also said: "That's right."
Now Qi Ning finally felt the happiness that Dai An had at the beginning.
It was so damn cool.
Qi Ning said directly: "Okay, I'll go back now. Give me a week. I'll calculate the production cost of the script in a week..."
"No hurry."
Lin Xing laughed: "Let's take it step by step."
"Then I'll go back first. I won't drink this wine. You two can drink it..."
How could Qi Ning not be anxious?
He felt that his luck was really about to change. He never thought that the investment would be so smooth.
After all, the 20 million was made by Qi Ning himself by selling his house. Among them, there were some people who Qi Ning hired with his face, and some film and television companies just invested hundreds of thousands for fun.
You should know that many film and television companies are casting a wide net, but they will never invest a lot of money to bet on treasures.
If you don't mention anything else, you can see why some movies have dozens or even more than 20 investment companies of all sizes.
This is too normal.
For this reason, Qi Ning has been thinking about making the script more mature while investing as much as possible.
Can you make a movie with 20 million?
Yes.
Can you make a movie with 20 million without hiring traffic artists? ?
Of course you can.
But a movie made with 20 million may be destined to flop.
Now even an art film is not good if the production cost is lower.
Don't say that traffic artists are not good, but only by hiring traffic artists to play the leading role can there be traffic.
How many movies did not hire traffic, and the result was that they flopped into the sewer.
For this reason, although Qi Ning is tired of traffic artists, he also understands that this requires a kind of coordination.
Many times, being a director requires some trade-offs.
Qi Ning wanted to invite Lin Xing at first, because when he was writing the script of "Going to Heaven", he actually thought of Lin Xing as the protagonist.
But at that time, Lin Xing was far from famous in the film industry, and even "Killing Ading" hadn't been released yet.
Let's put it this way, Qi Ning wanted to use Lin Xing because of "Sweeping Black Waves" + "Bad Kids" + "Death Bell".
Because Qi Ning thought Lin Xing's plasticity was too strong.
As a result, the box office of "Killing Ading" exceeded 100 million, and the recent box office of "Sunspots" exceeded 2 billion, so Lin Xing directly became a hot art film male god.
This is the status.
At this time, Qi Ning certainly had some hope of inviting Lin Xing to participate in "Going to Heaven".
But I didn't expect Ren Yi to introduce Lin Xing to the dinner party yesterday, and then Qi Ning listened to Lin Xing's refusal and thought that the matter was over.
Suddenly today there was a sudden turn of events.
After being in the entertainment industry for a long time, Qi Ning knew that everything would happen unexpectedly, so of course he was anxious.
Now he wants to do everything possible to write the script quickly, and then set Lin Xing's schedule.
An hour later, Ding Chunling also called Lin Xing.
"Ah Xing, what's going on???"
Ding Chunling never thought that someone would suddenly come to discuss cooperation, and it was another art film.
Is Lin Xing really going to stop on the art film track? ? ?
More importantly, Ding Chunling believes that Lin Xing cannot fall behind.
The director of "Sunspots" is Ning Ping, and now Lin Xing's box office has also soared.
A movie broke 2 billion, and it is an art film. There is no need to say that everyone is rising to the sky. This is a phenomenal achievement.
Next, according to Ding Chunling's idea, Lin Xing should go to shoot a commercial film directed by a famous director. At this time, Lin Xing needs to further expand his popularity.
Art films are niche, and Lin Xing has made such a track in the niche art film, which is enough.
Who doesn't say that Lin Xing is a legend now? ? ?
Two art films are enough.
If he shoots another art film at this time, what if it flopped? ? ?
Needs transformation.
Moreover, the script of "Going to Heaven" is not about the more niche funeral industry, but many people think this industry is unlucky? ? ?
Most people don't like to watch tragedies, let alone separations of life and death.
Especially the director and screenwriter of "Going to Heaven" is Qi Ning, a novice director.
You say this is unreliable no matter how you look at it.
That's why Ding Chunling wanted to laugh when she heard the conditions offered by the other party.
Box office share? ? ?
I'm afraid your movie can't even reach 50 million, how much can you share then? ?
The film company can only share more than 10 million at most, how much can Lin Xing get? ? ?
In short, Ding Chunling really thinks this is unreliable, and that's why she said she would think about it again, and then she called Lin Xing after hanging up the phone.
"Axing, I think this is not suitable for us now."
Ding Chunling expressed her thoughts: "Axing, with our current status, there is really no need to act in such a film..."
"Sister Ling, what is the status?"
Lin Xing said speechlessly: "I haven't mixed into the film circle yet, why do you suddenly speak as if you have a high status?"
Ding Chunling smiled bitterly: "Axing, I know you are modest, but now our new movie has just broken 2 billion, and all the big directors are inviting us. What we need now is to go one step further..."
"Sister Ling, you also said that these big directors invited me because my new movie just broke 2 billion..."
Lin Xing shook his head slightly and said: "They just want my traffic or even want me to go and contribute to their works..."
For Lin Xing, he really read the scripts of those big directors, which is hard to describe.
Lin Xing doesn't care whether he is the protagonist or the first one, but you obviously This script is relatively bad, how can Lin Xing act at this time? ? ?
What Lin Xing has to do is to disenchant the big directors. There are not a few of these big directors who have failed. They are still holding on to their previous bonuses and can't listen to any opinions.
"Axing, I know some scripts may not be good, don't worry, you need to take a good rest, we can look for it slowly"
Ding Chunling still wanted to persuade Lin Xing: "But I really don't think this Qi Ning's script is suitable."
Lin Xing nodded gently: "Okay, I told Qi Ning before that we can discuss the specific remuneration in detail. At present, the largest producers of his film have become Xin Hui and Liang Yuan..."
"What?"
Ding Chunling suddenly reacted: "In other words, this film has become our company again???"
"You can say that, so don't talk about whether it is suitable or not. Now this film belongs to our studio. I have something else to say..."
Lin Xing said a few words and hung up the phone.
He called Wei Fei again: "Sister Fei, are you busy?"
Wei Fei said: "Not busy, I'm just in the window period now, Ah Xing, is there anything good??"
"Sister Fei, do you want to come to Jiangcheng?"
Lin Xing smiled and said: "I saw a script and it feels good. I plan to ask Director Ning Ping to be the producer, but I think the job of producer is not for you..."
"Okay, I'll go there right away."
Wei Fei didn't even ask what the script was about, she just asked Lin Xing to send him a location.
That night, Wei Fei went to Jiangcheng alone.
"Sister Fei, Xin Hui, you don't need to introduce it if you know him, this is Liang Yuan..."
Before Lin Xing finished speaking, Wei Fei grabbed Liang Yuan's hand: "Boss, I finally see you."
Lin Xing: "???"
