Seeing that Goo Jai was timid, Lin Chen laughed and said: "Goo Jai, you are different from them. Half of the money for those movies was invested in popular stars, and the remuneration alone accounted for half of the cost. How could such a film be successful?
You are different, I believe you will spend all the money on production, so I believe this movie will definitely make money!"
After hearing this, Gu Zai's eyes turned a little red.
"Lin Sheng, thank you for your trust! Don't worry, I will definitely invest every penny in the production of the movie. With this money, I will definitely make Xun Qin Zhuan into a classic epic!"
On the side, Fang Han looked at the two of them, rolled his eyes, and stood up and said: "Gu Sheng, since Brother Lin trusts you so much, I will join in, you won't accept it, right?"
Back on the racecourse, Fang Han made a fortune relying on Lin Chen.
He knew that he would have money to eat by following Lin Chen, so he would not miss the opportunity to make money this time.
Goo Jai wiped his tears and said with a smile: "Of course I accept it, but with Lin Sheng's money, the movie cost should be enough..."
"It's okay." Fang Han waved his hand and said: "After the movie is shot, it must be well publicized. I will give you 50 million as a publicity fee. Is it enough?"
Goo Jai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Enough! That's enough!"
Goo Jai knows that the reason why many movies are popular nowadays is partly because of their excellent production, but partly because of publicity.
And on this point, Hong Kong movies are particularly not good enough.
Hong Kong movies used to be popular across the country, but why are they not so popular now?
On the one hand, this is due to the weakening of Hong Kong films, and on the other hand, it is also because Hong Kong films are unwilling to invest more in publicity and distribution expenses.
They calculated publicity expenses based on their experience over the past few decades, but ignored that compared to Hong Kong Island, the mainland is really huge.
If the announcement is not in place, many people will easily miss the movie.
Especially nowadays, with the rapid development of science and technology, there are many new means of publicity and distribution, all of which cost money.
So when it comes to publicity and development, Goo Jai naturally hopes that the more funds the better.
After confirming their investment, Goo Jai quickly arranged the contract.
Signing, transferring money, everything was arranged quickly.
After getting the money, Goo Jai immediately called people in the company and asked them to change the shooting plan as soon as possible.
In the past, when there was no money, many details in the movie had to be deleted. Now that he has money, Goo Jai is ready to restore and shoot the things that were deleted due to lack of funds in the past, striving to capture the most perfect version of "The Legend of Qin".
After arranging the manpower, Gu Zai took Lin Chen to eat together to express his gratitude.
At the dinner table, Lin Chen saw Goo Jai ordering another bottle of red wine. Before the wine was served, he said: "Goo Jai, don't do the same thing on the yacht today. We are all friends, so there is no need to be so polite."
"Yes, we are friends! Lin Sheng! I am determined to be your friend!" Goo Jai said excitedly.
Although there were no beautiful women accompanying the meal, the atmosphere was still lively. Goo Jai and Lin Chen were eating and talking about interesting things about the crew. More than an hour passed quickly.
Although Lin Chen asked Goo Jai not to be too polite, at the dinner table, Goo Jai still served Lin Chen a lot of wine.
"Brother Lin, with your money, the script may be changed. I will try my best to restore the plots that were deleted to save money. There may be a few more new characters by then. I wonder, Brother Lin, do you have any ideas?
"Gu Zai asked drunkenly.
Lin Chen asked curiously: "What role is there?"
"In the original work, there was a maid, Ting Fang, in the story of Zhao Guofeng. The TV series version deleted this character. I also deleted it before to save money. Now that I have sufficient funds, I want to film her."
"There is also a supporting actor, Teng Yi, who was also an important character in the original work. Unfortunately, it was also deleted from the TV series version for the same reason. I also plan to restore his role this time."
Goo Jai didn't know what Lin Chen wanted, so he offered him two roles, one male and one female.
Lin Chen thought for a while and finally thought of a suitable candidate.
"Gu Zai, do you still remember the girl next to me on the yacht that day?"
"She? I remember, she seemed to be a model." Goo Jai nodded.
"Do you think the role of Tingfang is suitable for her?"
"It's suitable. That lady is naturally beautiful and has a well-behaved appearance. She is indeed very suitable for the role of Tingfang. When I get back, I will have someone notify her agency to come over for an audition."
A small character with a vase-like nature, Goo Jai is happy to sell Lin Chen favors.
Lin Chen wanted to introduce Angela to Gu Zai, so he regarded it as an opportunity he gave her. As for whether he could seize it, it was up to Angela.
"By the way, there is one more thing about the movie. I wonder if you can help me, Brother Lin?" Goo Jai said again.
Lin Chen is now the major shareholder of this movie. As long as it has something to do with the movie, he is naturally happy to help.
"What happened?"
"Brother Lin, there are some war scenes in the first part, which may require a lot of extras. My original plan was to ask the military to cooperate, but later I gave up the idea because there was not enough money. Now that we have sufficient funds, I want to
The original plan was put on the agenda. But we have no contact with the military. You are from the mainland, do you know if there is such a way?"
"Looking for the military?"
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, he really didn't have this opportunity, but luckily, Lin Chen happened to know someone who could solve this problem for Gu Zai.
"Gu Zai, do you know Wu Jing?"
"Wu Jing? I know, he once came to Hong Kong Island to develop, and we know each other."
"He once dealt with the military for the filming of Blood Wolf. If you need to contact the military, you may be able to contact him. And don't you plan to increase the subdivision of Teng Yi? Maybe you can ask him to play this role.
Lin Chen pointed out.
Wu Jing's development in this world is also slightly different from Lin Chen's original world. Wu Jing in this world is not filming Wolf Warriors, but Blood Wolves, and the first part has already been filmed.
However, maybe because it was filmed in advance, the box office of Blood Wolf was much lower than that of the first Wolf Warrior in Lin Chen's world. Wu Jing also fell silent because of this, and there has been no new action for a long time.
But Wu Jing is Wu Jing. With his abilities and acting skills, Lin Chen felt that if he could be invited to join Xun Qin Chuan, it would be a strong alliance.
"What a great idea. I'll contact you in the afternoon. Thank you Brother Lin for your advice."
This dinner lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon. Goo Jai originally wanted Lin Chen to go to the crew, but Lin Chen had already booked a flight back to Donghai at four o'clock in the afternoon, so he had no choice but to give up.
But before leaving, Goo Jai still pulled Lin Chen and kept thanking him: "Brother Lin, it is my wish to make Xun Qin Chuan into a movie. You trust me by trusting me with so much money."
I won't let you down!"
"Do a good job! I'm waiting for your good news." Lin Chen patted Gu Zai on the shoulder and comforted the big boy.
After chatting for a while, the two separated.
Sitting in the car called by Fang Han, Lin Chen went directly to the airport. This trip to Hong Kong Island was finally coming to an end.
