"I know this, and I will try to save as much as possible. However, I don't have a clear account yet. I will leave this matter to Lao Li. It should only take a day or two to get a clear account."
Already."
"However, you also know that movies have always been a money-burning business. No matter how well we plan, there will inevitably be overspending."
"Funds are not easy to control, so if you can ask for more, ask for more. I don't mean to deceive people, it's just a fact."
Facts are facts, but isn’t this called cheating?
Others ask for a sum of money first and then start promotional activities. If they run out of money midway and it really can't continue, they start raising money again.
This is the normal process!
How can anyone want to overspend their funds before even opening their mouth?
If it weren't for Wu Di's blessing, how could Zhang Feng have such a strong tone?
"I understand what Director Zhang said. Okay, I'll ask first. However, it's not up to me to decide how much money we can get in the end. As you know, the money belongs to Ms. Lan, not mine.
, Besides, even if I ask for more, it must be based on the accounts reported by Lao Zhang and the others. It is okay to ask for more based on this basis."
Wu Di opened his hand and made a gesture to ask for the account book. Zhang Feng snorted, obviously very dissatisfied.
Who is this person!
After only a few days in the industry, he has become so cunning!
Ledger?
Who needs your kind of thing, especially with Wu Di? Obviously, since Ms. Lan can be involved in the movie Skin Change, she is already prepared to be slaughtered.
The only obstacle is Wu Di.
Personally speaking, in his own words, he and Ms. Lan have been separated since childhood and have no feelings at all.
His life has been very difficult these years, and Ms. Lan basically played no role in the long years when he was growing up.
To put it harshly, she has not fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother. Even if she rushes back thousands of miles to pave the way for Wu Di and spend money for him, Wu Di himself will not be very grateful to her.
Zhang Feng can also understand this emotion.
However, she believes that this is only part of the truth, and there is another part that Wu Di cannot admit even if you pull your hair and ask.
From his true heart, he didn't want Zhang Feng to take too much advantage. She didn't want Zhang Feng to use Ms. Lan as a cash machine endlessly.
As an important medium for asking for money, Wu Di's personal attitude is actually very important. If he is highly motivated, he can smile a little more towards Ms. Lan.
Money, that's not an issue at all.
But if he is not very active and doesn't work hard to shout, he can get as much money as he has a budget, which is already pretty good.
In fact, Zhang Feng already has this hunch that when Lao Zhang's accounts are completed, Wu Di will ask for how much the shoes cost.
I won’t give you one more point!
"Do you have to ask for formal accounts?" Zhang Feng's tone was already a little unfriendly, and Wu Di also sighed.
Look, how sweet this is.
Just now, the atmosphere between the two had just improved a little, and with such a hint of ambiguity, the issue suddenly turned to the issue of money.
Yes!
This is really not the situation Wu Di wants to see, why?
A good woman who is so young and beautiful, wouldn't it be wrong to think more about romantic things?
Just like what Madam said, Wu Di and Zhang Fengdao have not been able to go further so far. This responsibility lies more with Zhang Feng than with Wu Di.
This is why?
It's not because Zhang Feng is a career woman. Although she also likes those sweet words and romantic tone, it is impossible to blind her simply by relying on that kind of tone.
Since when forming a team to make a movie, the most important issue to consider is of course money. As long as it involves money, Zhang Feng will be extremely sober.
How could such a person have so many romantic feelings? Don't think about it, it's impossible.
"Isn't this how it should be?"
"Even if we want money, we must always show an attitude. Although you think that with my identity, I can easily get money from Ms. Lan, this is indeed true, but from my perspective
Said, I don’t want to end up with a reputation that only knows how to reach out to my biological mother to ask for money.”
"Since we are out to make movies, we have to do things in a disciplined manner. You need money. I understand and I support it. I think that as long as the publicity can be strengthened and the final result will be better, the money can always be earned.
"
"However, a reasonable account is also needed. This is also to pave the way for continued cooperation in the future. You will not suffer a loss."
The next movie is Wu Di painting a super pie for Zhang Feng. Of course, at this stage, the two of them are actually painting each other's cake.
As for Zhang Feng, needless to say, he is using Lao Zhang's pie to poison Wu Di. Lao Zhang's pie is a huge pie for any new actor. Who wouldn't be surprised?
As for Wu Di, he also has a way.
You can draw cakes, but I can’t?
Naturally, Zhang Feng is being held back by the investment in his next movie. In fact, neither of them can live without the other.
Lao Zhang's movies must require large investments and grand ostentation. Without a steady inflow of funds, it is difficult to ensure quality.
Zhang Feng knows this better than Wu Di.
The best candidate for this investment is naturally Ms. Lan, so there is no need to make any second assumptions.
In fact, compared to Wu Di who needs Lao Zhang's movie, Lao Zhang needs Ms. Lan's investment more. After all, the opportunity given by Lao Zhang is just an opportunity. Whether it can be transformed into popularity or even real achievements still depends on
Looking at Wu Di's personal fortune, Lao Zhang can't decide either.
But investing is different.
That is real money, and it is delivered to Lao Zhang's pocket. Moreover, once this project is started, it will not be terminated. Ms. Lan will be Lao Zhang's financial backer until the end of the entire release period.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Investments must continue to enter the project. This is a long-term investment. Who would invest such a large amount of money without considering it?
Only Ms. Lan has this possibility.
Therefore, compared to Wu Di, Zhang Feng was more motivated to lure him. Therefore, as long as you observe carefully, you can see that it is actually Zhang Feng who throws out more bait between the two.
She was there when we were asking for money, and she was there when we were raising funds. She was the one who took the initiative to help Han Jingjing find a house. She was also the one who took Wu Di in and provided him with a place to live.
Being so active can be said to be jumping up and down, but for what reason?
Of course, there are reasons why Zhang Feng is interested in Wu Di, but it is undeniable that the reason for wooing Wu Di is naturally not less than the need to retain investment.
As the saying goes, good news does not go to outsiders. For Zhang Feng, Ms. Lan is the good news. How can she be allowed to cast in other films?
"All right!"
"What you said makes sense."
As long as Wu Di can ask for money, he has achieved his goal. Don't push too hard or rush too fast. It will be counterproductive.
"Tomorrow I will urge Lao Li to come up with the accounts as soon as possible. We can't delay things because of him."
Lao Li: It's not me who's delaying things, it's obviously you, Zhang Feng, who's delaying things.
When did you tell me to take care of the accounts? Aren't you just going to ask for money outright? You're still pretending.
Of course, even if it was just pretending, Lao Li would not object.
Money is real when you get it.
As an external publicist, Lao Li really needs money. Although he is not short of money at the moment, who in the publicity department doesn't want to have sufficient funds?
The more money, the happier you are.
As long as Wu Di can get the money, it doesn't matter how many scapegoats he takes. Zhang Feng thinks the same way.
Contrary to Lao Li, director Zhang Feng is actually very anxious.
And the person who made her so anxious was none other than Wu Di in front of her.
At the beginning, Zhang Feng did not want to promote the film so far. One was a waste of money, and the other was worried that it would not have any effect at all.
The battle line is too long and the results cannot be guaranteed. After all, it is still difficult to make up the mind to invest in something.
However, after Wu Di gave her a detailed analysis of the pros and cons, Zhang Feng's thoughts changed. She suddenly felt that early publicity was the top priority and must not be ignored.
What's more important is that the situation faced by skin replacement today is actually not that optimistic.
First of all, it’s the quality of the movie itself. Although you can only show your true abilities if you have real abilities, but for this movie, it’s really not that easy to reveal your true abilities.
One is that the core of the movie's story is still relatively barren, yes, it is barren. This adjective is very accurate.
Although two women competing for one man is one of the most enduring themes in movies and television, it is indeed a cliché.
To be honest, if it weren't for casting the most popular little girl in the lead role and focusing on fantasy themes, a film with this kind of core wouldn't actually be very attractive to ordinary audiences.
Especially as an ordinary drama film.
With such a story core, in fact, the upper limit of the quality of this film will not be very high, which is inevitable.
Zhang Feng is fully prepared for this. Although she has been polishing the script for a long time, she also knows that the script of this film has shortcomings. As a director, she can only work within the scope of her abilities.
Within, make efforts to adjust.
Even so, since it is an adjustment, the level will definitely remain the same.
Therefore, Zhang Feng knows very well that as long as the film is released, all kinds of criticism will definitely come out one after another, and it cannot be stopped.
Zhang Feng's positioning of his first film is that it will receive mixed reviews. As long as some people like it very much and some people don't like it that much, that's fine.
People often get confused.
This is director Zhang's first work, and he has high hopes for it. Why didn't he expect it to receive a full house of success?
Isn't this strange?
Of course it's for safety's sake.
From the topic selection, it can actually be seen that Director Zhang is still a little worried about her first film, although she thinks her level is already very good, and Lao Zhang, who has seen the short film she shot, does not have any doubts about her.
No matter how many questions she raises, it shows that she is indeed capable.
However, his ability is limited to shooting short films. I don’t know if it would be equally effective if he switched to a feature film. In order to be more beautiful and avoid causing trouble, Zhang Feng chose a relatively safe romance drama.
The delicate shooting techniques unique to women and the ability to capture details are both strengths. Zhang Feng will never fail when he chooses this subject.
Facts have also proven this. Although it has shortcomings of one kind or another, the quality of the finished film is pretty good.
Of course, the actors' abilities are uneven, which is a big obstacle to further fermenting the film's reputation.
But as long as you keep your basic base, your next movie investment will be stable.
This is only part of the difficulties that may be encountered in bringing this film to market, and some are even more unknown.
That's from competitors.
"Eh?"
"Look, what news is this?"
"What's the meaning?"
Although the conversation did not go very smoothly, people who fall in love are still people who fall in love after all.
Therefore, even if there is nothing to talk about, we still like to sit together. Even if we just look up at the sky like this, we still feel that the dark sky has a special mood.
What a blast!
However, this energy came and went, and it became a bit too much.
Zhang Feng was bored, so he took out his mobile phone and browsed various web pages. Ever since he learned that Jingjing was a member of Big Eye Entertainment, Zhang Feng paid special attention to this website.
The fresh news on the set that the skin-changing crew participated in received an enthusiastic response and the number of views soared. Zhang Feng was very pleased to see everyone's enthusiastic messages.
It seems that this program is indeed very influential. In the future, we need to pay more attention to various programs produced by these online platforms. This is a focus of future film and television drama marketing.
However, when she scrolled down the webpage, she immediately noticed something was wrong and her brows furrowed.
Hearing her question, Wu Di also came over.
At first, he didn't take it seriously, he just thought it was something weird and not worthy of Zhang Feng's fuss.
But when he got closer and took a closer look, he suddenly gasped.
"What's happening here?"
"How could such news leak out?"
The section occupied by the news is actually not large, nor is it that conspicuous. It is just a vertical side page title.
It's all because Zhang Feng's eyes were so good that he was unfortunately discovered.
Surprise! The popular movie encountered difficulties in the post-production of reskinning!
The title alone is already sensational enough. After all, it involves post-production, which shows that the person who broke the news is very familiar with the production progress of the skin-changing movie.
Maybe, the news is not groundless.
Clicking on the inner page, the two people were not relieved, but were even more shocked.
The news content actually pointed out that there was a major accident in the post-recording of the skin change, and it was stalled for a while, which may affect subsequent releases!
This was simply a bombshell, completely beyond Zhang Feng's expectations. Where did these people get the news?
It's true that there is no need to open the pot, and there are some problems in the recording work, which only happened in the past two days.
And what happened just now can actually be reported to the media and written into a formal article and sent out.
This shows what?
This shows that the crew has begun to leak news to the outside world again!
