Chapter 4161 Is the pursuit of fame and fortune a heinous crime (30)
He knows that many people are not optimistic about the subject he is pursuing now. It is true that the cost of shooting and production is high, and the time consumed is calculated on an annual basis. If you don't pay attention for a year or two, there will be no gains, but so what? He just
If he suddenly wants to shoot a subject like this, if others don’t like it, then he might like it himself?
But he was still a little curious. Lin Ji would invest several hundred million every year.
"How much does Mr. Lin plan to invest?"
"Fifty million." Lin Jinian said, he thought this was already a large investment.
After all, those who invest hundreds of millions are big productions.
If this person hadn't been Xu Fulang, he wouldn't have asked for 50 million.
Xu Fulang was a little silent. He only had 50 million, so he wanted to make a show of him? This guy was so petty. He thought he could shock him with 500 million just by opening his mouth.
Slightly disappointed.
Lin Jinian originally thought it was a lot, but looking at Xu Fulang's appearance, he immediately understood that this number could not impress Xu Fulang.
"Do you think Director Xu is missing something?"
Xu Fulang glanced at him, did this person know that he was missing something? It was not enough to stuff it between his teeth, so he had the nerve to take it out.
"Why don't Mr. Lin try investing in other dramas?" Xu Fulang suggested, "My drama is a niche one, so I don't know if I can get a return, and I won't sign a gambling agreement like those in the industry with you. Really?
If you invest money, you will really lose money if you lose, and I will not pay you back."
Lin Jinian naturally knows this. Xu Fulang's previous films have made some profits but also some losses. What matters when investing in his dramas is your mentality.
The other party has already relented, and Lin Jinian certainly will not give in: "How appropriate does Director Xu think it is? I can have absolute say in your drama."
"No amount of money can give me the absolute say in my drama. It's me who shoots the drama, not you. I'm the director. Why can't I know more about it than a layman? I hate being criticized the most. Mr. Lin, you'd better choose someone else."
I don't like being pointed at. It's very annoying." Xu Fulang spoke very directly. Lin Jinian had heard about it for a long time, but he didn't expect it to be so direct.
He felt a little aggrieved. Everyone was so polite when he came back for so long. It was the first time he saw someone so disrespectful.
"I don't want to interfere with how Director Xu shoots, I just have a small request." Lin Jinian said.
"First tell me how much you can invest at most." Xu Fulang was a little curious.
Lin Jinian silently calculated the funds and said, "Two hundred million at most."
This is quite a lot, and it is quite a lot for any major production. He still has some understanding of this industry. Many dramas that have an apparent investment of hundreds of millions are partly paid to popular actors, and the rest is production fees.
Among the actors selected by Xu Fulang, none of them were paid particularly top-notch ones, which were enough for the other party to operate.
Any director would be very happy to hear this number.
And he only has one request, to replace Cheng Qianyan. There are so many actors in the circle, and replacing Cheng Qianyan can get an investment of 200 million, which is a guaranteed profit without losing money.
"I only have one request. If Cheng Qianyan is replaced, I will pay the liquidated damages."
Xu Fulang said: "If you invest one billion, I can consider it and forget about two hundred million. It is not cost-effective."
"Currently I can't find an actor who is more suitable for that role than Cheng Qianyan. Unless you can find one for me, Mr. Lin, can you promise? I will start filming in less than a week." Xu Fulang added.
