Chapter 0565 The ancient road and the long street
Lin'an Film and Television City.
An ancient long street has just been renovated in accordance with the requirements of the "Everlasting Hate" crew. It adopts the architectural style of the Qin and Han Dynasties.
The movie hasn't even started shooting yet, but millions have already been spent on it.
Several investors didn't know where they got the information, and they always suspected that the money they invested had been hacked. They pestered Lin Guiyi and tried to put people into the crew to strengthen supervision.
Lin Guiyi had expected this for a long time, and dismissed them after mentioning the contract he had signed. However, he could not completely ignore the feelings of his investment partners, so he took some time off and took them to the set to see the situation.
In fact, Lin Guiyi also knew what these people were thinking. Any excuses that the crew's money had been hacked were all excuses. The main reason was to test his bottom line and slowly insert his own people.
After all, there is an investment of 500 million before and after, and a little bit of manipulation can be a considerable income. Who wouldn't be tempted?
This hole must not be opened. If you don't let people in, you won't let them in.
Behind Lin Guiyi is not a small company like Tomahawk Entertainment, but Shuangmu Group, so he can still withstand this pressure.
Of course, he is also very strict with the crew's money. After all, he comes from a capital background and is the most sensitive to funds.
As soon as the investor's observation group arrived, the crew naturally had to send someone to accompany them. The assistant director had done enough homework in advance and explained it to them personally. It's hard to understand things like ancient buildings without some accumulation of knowledge.
But obviously, the effect of throwing real money and silver is different.
There are many ancient buildings in the film and television city, but they are basically modeled after the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties. They are also the current mainstream costume drama filming location. Those who want to film crews from earlier periods basically just make do with it. They are all ancient buildings anyway.
The audience basically couldn't understand it either.
But this time, Lin Guiyi had already communicated with the director in advance, and the director became bolder. He spent money to renovate this ancient street, and even invited a professor of ancient architecture from Yenching University.
Guidance. I can’t say that it will be restored 100%, but it looks like an 89% image will be fine.
This feeling is completely different from the "coquettish bitches" in other ancient buildings in the film and television city!
Even the sponsors brought by Lin Guiyi can see some differences. The most obvious one is that the colors are not as rich and gorgeous.
"This street...why does it feel a bit shabby? Tsk, tsk, tsk, the quality of these bricks seems to have been cut corners!"
"Also, why is there no sign on the street? The houses are so low and there is no restaurant or anything like that?"
"Ouch, Mr. Lin, please look at it, you can't do it..."
Lin Guiyi rolled his eyes when he heard the crows croaking. Even if he had no research on ancient architecture, he knew that there were no commercial streets in the Qin and Han Dynasties. And there were restaurants... restaurants, your sister!
The assistant director did not dare to neglect them, and quickly explained: "Several bosses, it's like this. This is a civilian residential area, and it definitely doesn't look as grand as the royal family. These bricks are custom-made adobe bricks by us.
It was used when taking close-up shots. The other parts used were just normal bricks covered with mud. Don't look at these adobe bricks, they are more expensive than normal fired bricks! There is really no cutting corners, they are all needed for shooting. There are also restaurants
, this is a residential area and there are no restaurants..."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, aren't you just messing around like this? You spent so much money, but the result is not as good as the original one from someone else's studio! Mr. Lin, it's not okay to spend money like this..."
"Okay, let's go check out the next spot." Lin Guiyi waved his hand, not wanting to talk nonsense to them at all.
Bring them here to have a look, are you going to push too far?
The assistant director glanced at Lin Guiyi and recognized that this was their boss, and quickly continued to lead the way and explain.
Several investors kept their faces dark throughout.
In fact, they don't care whether the street is improved or not, they just want to find a reason to insert their own people into it.
But I didn't expect Lin Guiyi's attitude to be so tough.
It’s also their fault that they were impatient and gave up their right to speak at the contract level.
Lin Guiyi was also very annoyed. In fact, 500 million was not a problem at all to Shuangmu Entertainment. They could make a movie on their own like Tomahawk Entertainment, and they didn't have to worry about these crows.
I'm sorry they don't dare to do Shuangmu Entertainment like Tomahawk Entertainment.
But the Chinese film industry cannot rely solely on Shuangmu Entertainment and Tomahawk Entertainment.
Without giving them some sweet treats, they simply can't be cruel enough to make movies like Tomahawk Entertainment.
Of course, the more important thing is to attract a group of followers to myself.
Since Shuangmu Entertainment wants to secure its position as the leading entertainment company in China, it cannot do without the support of these film companies. It still has to worry about what it needs to worry about.
After watching the whole process, Lin Guiyi was quite satisfied with the transformation of the ancient street. Although he did not interfere with the filming of the crew, he still watched "Eternal Hate" specifically to have a little understanding of the style of this ancient street.
It's basically the same feeling as in the original work.
"When will the filming start?" Lin Guiyi asked.
"We can start tomorrow." The assistant director responded with a smile.
Lin Gui nodded: "Well, work hard and let Director Ma feel at ease filming the film. Don't worry about the rest. The funds will be in place."
The assistant director responded repeatedly, but did not notice that the faces of the bosses behind Lin Guiyi were almost turning black into ink.
Lin Guiyi did not comfort them anymore. Some people just refused to accept the hard words.
Cheap bones.
The contract they signed with coercion and inducement has tied them to death on the pirate ship, and their funds have been paid in advance. Now they will not be refunded if they get off the ship.
So today we don’t even dare to threaten with divestment.
Lin Guiyi was also betting that if the movie was completed and he made a fortune, these grievances would naturally disappear.
If the movie flops, there won't be another one.
China's film industry will only be in bad shape for a few more years.
In the next few years, Tomahawk Entertainment and Shuangmu Entertainment will continue to work hard to expand overseas while facing the backstabbing of these crows.
…
…
While Lin Guiyi took the initiative to shoulder the burden of the future development of China's film industry, Han Lan was trying hard to shoulder the burden.
He had just received the nomination notice from the Golden Pig Film Festival in the morning. Director Zhao Chengwen suddenly called him. He originally thought he was talking about "Zhu Xian 1", but it turned out that he asked for a song.
Invite songs for this year’s Spring Festival Gala.
Han Lan sighed softly and said: "Director Zhao, you can invite me to sing, but why do I have to participate? Didn't you promise me during the Spring Festival Gala last year that you would not ask me again in the third year? I am prepared for this.
Let’s have a normal reunion dinner at home.”
