Chapter 85 Cooperation and Proposals
Whether in the past life or the present, what Chen Lin hates the most is a bunch of people surrounding him.
Therefore, he only has one assistant, Chen Yang.
"How is Lost in Thailand?"
When they arrived at the office, the people from Dongyang had not arrived in the afternoon, Zhao Liying asked about "Lost in Thailand".
Speaking of Zhao Liying's studio, although Ying Bao accounts for the lowest proportion, everyone knows that the real person is her. As for Chen Lin, this guy is purely a mascot. By the way, he also has a job of making money and making money.
"It's pretty good, I'm laughing."
Chen Yang thought about the edited clip he saw, and couldn't help but laugh.
"I just said that this movie must be good, Xu Zheng has made it through! When it is released in December, I guess another amazing business will be released..."
Chen Lin was quite a bit self-interested. At the beginning, Xu Zheng, who he strongly recommended!
"I mean how much money did we invest?"
Zhao Liying looked at the two of them gradually off topic with some helplessness.
Who asked you about the quality of the movie?
You really have any kind of boss, you have any kind of assistant!
"According to the boss' instructions, we took all the subsequent additional investments. Lighting invested 30,000 yuan, we invested 250,000 yuan, including post-production and publicity expenses! In terms of profits, we accounted for 40%!"
Chen Yang said with a serious face.
"You are really big. You haven't seen you invest a penny in a movie yourself!"
Zhao Liying looked at her man with some dissatisfaction.
Everyone knows that Chen Lin is awesome in commercial films, with an amazing return on investment, but he has never seen him invest in his own movies!
"Have you heard a word? Hollywood directors never invest in their own movies!"
Chen Lin's face was unfathomable!
"But we are China!"
"Although movies are business, the director should not be too commercial. If I really invest money in my movies, I will definitely think about how to make money back, and I will be struggling to please the audience. Once I open such a hole, my purpose in making a movie will no longer be pure!"
This is also the principle of making movies so far!
"Well said!"
There was a burst of applause from the door. Chen Lin turned his head and a middle-aged man walked in, followed by two men in suits with straight sunglasses.
"Producer Hou, you are here!"
It's Hou Hongliang.
I really didn't expect it would be him who would come in person!
"I didn't expect Director Chen to have such insights at such a young age. It's amazing!"
The two shook hands and sat down, Hou Hongliang praised.
"Where is it just a matter of picking up people's wisdom, this is all the consensus in Hollywood."
Chen Lin scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
"But some of us just don't believe this!"
Hou Hongliang sighed, probably thinking of something.
Hou Hongliang stepped down from the position of Shan Film production director and turned around and tinkered with his own private film and television workshop. If he hadn't been fed up with the code of conduct of state-owned enterprises, who would have been willing to give up such a great power?
After decades of ups and downs, Hou Hongliang can be said to have seen the various aspects of the entertainment industry!
"Let's discuss cooperation matters if we don't talk about this."
Chen Lin hurriedly pulled the topic away.
"good!"
Li Quanan appeared, and then the two men with sunglasses following Hou Hongliang were actually legal counsel!
The three of them had a heated discussion on the copyright issues of "Fighting Changsha", "No War in Peking", "Spy War in Shanghai", which is the original work of "Disguised", and Shen Lin's novel "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles".
Dongyang has a very good director, a good script, and a very good TV partner in the afternoon, but they lack one thing, money and connections!
Chen Lin is just the opposite, some are money and cash!
Not to mention his relationship with the capital!
At the beginning, I thought about stuffing buns into the crew of "Fighting Changsha", and then I got the news that Dongyang actually had no money in the afternoon!
I go, no one invests in such a great Chinese drama production unit?
Then I'll invest!
Even if he would not have so much time to invest in the long shooting and production of a TV series in the future, Chen Lin knew that this was a good opportunity to invest.
Zhao Liying's studio can also have a long-term business.
Since its establishment, Zhao Liying's studio has been a veritable shell company - it has no use except helping two people have a career position.
If you can get involved with Dongyang In the afternoon, Zhao Liying's studio can fully expand appropriately. In addition to helping him and Ying Bao's press release, you can also help with the TV series produced by Dongyang In the afternoon.
Moreover, Chen Lin can also feel at ease to hand over the adaptation work of the "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" series to Dongyang's director in the afternoon.
At the same time, Dongyang really needs Chen Lin’s help in the afternoon, not only because of the funds, but more importantly, Chen Lin’s connections in the Beijing circle.
Hou Hongliang doesn’t want to be tied to the mountain shadows for the rest of his life!
That's why he accepted Tang Ren's financing requirements in his previous life. In addition to wanting Hu Ge to star in "Langya Bang", more importantly, Tang Ren belongs to the Demon Capital Circle and has a good relationship with most southern TV stations!
Hou Hongliang and Chen Lin are both well-known figures. They don’t need to be present when negotiating such things. The two came to the tea room at work and started chatting.
"I haven't thanked Director Chen for helping Wang Kai with his name."
"Wang Kai? Oh, I mainly think that he is really suitable for that character."
Wang Kai's agency agreement was also signed under Dongyang Immigration.
Hou Hongliang has always admired Wang Kai. The purpose of "No War in Peking", "Disguise" and "Langya Bang" will be opened next year is to promote Wang Kai.
"The current environment is much better than before. At least this group of actors has a place to stand out. Think about it a few years ago, apart from TV series, there is no room for the big six actors to play on the big screen!"
Hou Hongliang also made movies and lost a lot.
In addition to the fact that the movie itself is more literary, the biggest reason is that there are no big names joining it.
"Yes, but the current TV drama industry is also very chaotic, with thunder dramas and time-travel dramas rampant!"
"Orthodox TV series are not so popular. I really doubt what young people now think!"
When it comes to this, Hou Hongliang gets angry.
"Don't worry, young people's aesthetics will definitely improve. At that time, they will naturally abandon these thunder dramas and instead enjoy the real good TV series!"
"I'll lend you a good word. By the way, is Director Chen interested in collaborating with us on a drama?"
Hou Hongliang asked suddenly.
“Aren’t we working together?”
Chen Lin was a little puzzled.
"I mean you are the director, let's work together on a TV series!"
Chen Linhai hasn't thought about it yet.
"I'll think about it again. The main thing is that I haven't read any scripts recently!"
"Isn't your answer series very good? Is the third script released?"
Chapter completed!
