"Director Lin, is there anything else you can do?"
"If you want to leave, I won't stop you, but if you just regard me as an investor who likes to have a bad temper, then I won't be happy."
"What? Director Lin still wants to use force on me?" Song Jing snorted, quite angry.
"Don't worry, I'm not that rude. I just want to ask, do you really want to make this drama a success?" Lin Yang asked.
"Of course!" Song Jing turned his head suddenly and glared at Lin Yang angrily: "Director Lin, you can humiliate me, but you can't insult my personality or my sincere heart for the movie! You... are simply deceiving me.
Too much!"
"Then let me ask you, why do you condone the crew to collect bribes and let outsiders exchange money for roles? Why do you condone the crew to collude with the people in the filming location, asking for exorbitant prices to earn a large amount of money from the crew? The filming of this drama has not even started, and you
Nearly 300 million have been spent? And I saw your plan. It seems that of the 1 billion that Yanghua invested in you, you are only going to use 200 million to make the movie. What about the other 800 million? You
Where are you going to use it?" Lin Yang asked.
Song Jing's breath tightened, and he hummed in a low voice: "Of course the eight hundred million is used to pay the actors' salaries! Although the protagonists are all newcomers, the supporting actors are all domestic first-tier actors, and their appearance fees are sky-high.
, can this cost be saved?”
"So, you are not here to make a good movie at all, you just want to make a movie with high box office! Song Jing, you have even forgotten your original intention. If I give you this movie, you will only know how to make it."
Make a bad movie for me!" Lin Yang shook his head.
"Director Lin, you don't understand the film industry at all! You don't understand how deep the water is here! How complicated it is!" Song Jing roared.
"Then you can't break away from this circle and make this movie with your original intention?" Lin Yang asked back.
Song Jing's breath trembled.
After a moment, he whispered hoarsely: "Without the box office, everything is just talk."
"Then are you still qualified to be a filmmaker?" Lin Yang asked again.
Song Jing raised his head slightly and looked at him with some surprise.
"What do you mean?"
"The reason why I disbanded the crew and then reorganized it was to get rid of the dirt in the crew! Song Jing, I don't care, I really don't care, let alone a billion investment, even if it's 2 billion or 3 billion, I can give it to you
, but you must give me a movie that you made entirely from your original intention. It does not rely on any popular celebrities or the fame of some big shot in the film industry. What you rely on is your strength! Only
It's a pity that the failures of your previous dramas have completely shattered your confidence. I originally thought you would regain your confidence, but you didn't. Instead, you became just like those people.
, I wanted to remind you by reorganizing the crew, but I didn’t expect... you are as vulgar as those people..."
"Vulgar? Huh, surnamed Lin, I told you that you are just a layman! You don't know anything at all! If you shoot like this, I'm afraid the box office won't even break 100 million! Do you believe it?"
"Then let's make a bet!" Lin Yang suddenly said.
"What to bet on?"
"You just go ahead and make the movie as I say. If the box office doesn't exceed 100 million, I'll invest another 3 billion and let you make the movie as you like. I'll never interfere with you again. How about that?"
"Okay!" Song Jing's eyes lit up and he agreed immediately.
"But what should I do if my box office revenue exceeds 100 million?" Lin Yang asked.
"Then I will kneel down to you at the press conference and worship you as my mentor! From now on, you will be my film mentor, Song Jing!" Song Jing said, patting his chest.
