Chapter 198 New Movie and Blood Wolf 2
Lin Chen asked Xu Ling to find Angela. This time he brought Xu Ling, not only as a female companion, but also to let Xu Ling go to Angela to discuss joining the new company.
As for himself, he, Gu Zai and Fang Han came to a dining table and sat down.
After sitting down, Goo Jai picked up a bottle of red wine with a smile, filled a glass for Lin Chen, and filled it himself.
"Lin Sheng, "Xun Qin Zhuan" is really a hit this time. Many famous directors have failed to achieve the box office, but I, a young boy, have achieved it. But I know that there was no such thing as you and Fang Sheng.
Investment, "Xun Qin Zhuan" cannot reach this step. Lin Sheng, Fang Sheng, I toast you with this cup!"
After Gu Zai said this, he raised his glass and drank it down in one gulp.
Fang Han stood by with a smile on his face, raised his wine glass, and said to Lin Chen and Gu Zai: "Brother Lin, Gu Zai! I also want to respect you. Without you, I would still be a young man who spends a lot of time and alcohol!
It’s thanks to you that I have the opportunity to raise my head in front of my parents! I’d like to toast you too!”
Putting down his wine glass, Goo Jai said: "Lin Chen, although the first part of "The Legend of Qin" has not been released yet, I have already prepared to shoot the second part. This time I plan to shoot two or three parts in a row. I may invest in it."
It will be a bit big.”
"Money is not an issue, just ask."
Goo Jai smiled: "Well, this is what you said. When I ask you for money, don't deny it!"
"Gu Zai, don't forget to count me in when the time comes! We are still the same, how about I cover the publicity expenses for you?"
"no problem."
"By the way..." Speaking of investment, Lin Chen had something to say in advance: "Gu Zai, this time I will invest through Xu Ling's new company. When the time comes, you can find someone to contact her directly."
"Miss Xu Ling's new company? I think I've heard of it. It's called Chenling Entertainment, right?"
Seeing Lin Chen nodding, Gu Zai was a little surprised. He couldn't help but said with a bad smile: "Lin Sheng, I really have you!"
Lin Chen smiled and accepted Goo Jai's compliment.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly caught a man walking towards them.
"Mr. Lin, can you have a toast?"
"Wu Jing?"
Lin Chen immediately stood up and had a drink with Wu Jing.
Wu Jing was stunned for a moment, a little surprised by Lin Chen's cheerfulness, but he came to his senses immediately, and then drank a drink with Lin Chen.
"Come, let's do it together." Lin Chen greeted Wu Jing and sat next to him.
Among Chinese actors, his favorite in Hong Kong is Goo Jai, and in Mainland China, Wu Jing is his favorite.
Now that his two favorite actors were sitting next to him, Lin Chen was a little excited.
"Mr. Lin, I heard Goo Jai say that you recommended him to me in the first place? Did we know each other before?"
After sitting down, Wu Jing asked.
"Of course not, but I like your movies very much, and that one "Blood Wolf" is very good." Lin Chen said.
When Lin Chen mentioned "Blood Wolf", Wu Jing's face became slightly sad.
Because the movie "Blood Wolf" is the pain that Wu Jing doesn't want to mention the most in her heart right now.
Wu Jing originally invested a lot in this movie, and even joined the army to undergo military training for one and a half years, but in the end, the movie "Blood Wolf" ended up being a flop.
For this reason, Wu Jing also suffered a lot of cynicism from others.
"I really didn't expect that Mr. Lin would actually like that movie? It was a bad box office movie. I thought not many people had seen it."
Lin Chen has read about the encounter of "Blood Wolf" in this world on the Internet. He said: "The box office is not necessarily linked to the quality of the film. I think there are actually two reasons for the film's lukewarm reception."
"2 reasons?"
Wu Jing was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Lin, can you tell me something?"
"Of course." Lin Chen said calmly: "The first reason is that your movie was released too early."
"morning?"
"Yes, your movie was filmed two years ago. At that time, the society did not pay much attention to patriotic-themed movies. On the one hand, it was because patriotic-themed movies had a stereotyped influence on people and they thought they were old-fashioned and boring.
On the one hand, it was also because China was not yet strong at that time, and people in society generally had an inferiority complex, feeling that we Chinese could not compare with foreign countries."
"But if you make this movie now, the situation will definitely be much better."
Lin Chen was not talking nonsense. Wu Jing in this world didn’t know what he was thinking. He actually filmed "Blood Wolf" in 2009. As a result, it was a huge hit at the box office and almost made Wu Jing because of it.
The movie went bankrupt.
But in fact, in Lin Chen's previous life, although the first part of "Blood Wolf" was far less successful than the second one, it had already made Wu Jing a lot of money, and because of this, he planned to shoot the second part.
.
Therefore, in Lin Chen's opinion, this life's "Blood Wolf" can only be said to have been shot at the wrong time and too early.
"The second reason is that the original promotion of "Blood Wolf" was not done well. As I just said, at that time, the society did not pay attention to patriotic-themed movies. If you want people to enter the cinema, you must be better than
Ordinary movies are more intensively promoted, but obviously you didn't do that at that time."
Wu Jing said with a look of helplessness: "Mr. Lin, you don't know that I borrowed money to shoot that movie, and the military equipment in it was provided to me for free by the army. I really didn't have the money to buy too much.
Xuanfa..."
"Yes, so this is the reason why you failed later. It was not that your movie was not good, but that there were too many off-site factors."
Wu Jing shook his head and looked at Goo Tsai with envy: "Mr. Lin, you don't know how envious I was when I heard Goo Tsai talk about your initial investment. If only I could meet you at that time.
Well, as long as there are enough publicity expenses, "Blood Wolf" might actually be successful."
"I think maybe you don't have to regret it. Although it's too late for "Blood Wolf", if you plan to make a sequel, I can invest in it."
"Mr. Lin, are you willing to invest?" Wu Jing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Mr. Lin, don't be joking. Now that other investors see me, it's too late to hide. Don't you be afraid to invest in me? I'll make another movie."
Come on the street? Forget it, Mr. Lin, I'm very happy that you have this intention."
"I'm serious." Lin Chen said, "Unless you tell me that you have no plans to make a sequel?"
"I..." Wu Jing hesitated, "Of course I do! To tell you the truth, Mr. Lin, at the beginning of this year, our country was evacuating overseas Chinese in Syria. When I saw the news, I was thinking, what if
How great would it be to be able to arrange this matter into a movie? So I found the screenwriter of "Blood Wolf" at that time, and the two of us worked on a script. However, when the script came out, I found that it would not be possible to film it, because it was already
No one is willing to invest in me..."
"Do you still have the script? Can you show it to me?" Lin Chen said.
Nearby, Gu Zai and Fang Han also became interested.
Wu Jing was stared at by three people and hesitated for a long time: "I'm sorry Mr. Lin, how can I carry the script with me now, but I remember the general story of the script. If you want to listen, I can tell you."
"Tell me about it!" Lin Chen immediately ordered.
Wu Jing smiled bitterly and roughly recounted the script in his mind.
Hearing the familiar plot ringing in his ears, Lin Chen, as someone who had watched the movie in his previous life, still couldn't tell that the plot of the sequel mentioned by Wu Jing was clearly the same as that of the sensational Blood Wolf 2 in his previous life.
