The next day happened to be Saturday, so Zhang Zhong took Xu Yuhan and Peng Peng to pick up Lin Fei.
Lin Fei is a national star, and Hu Huifang and Zhang Xingjun also like him very much. Knowing that Zhang Zhong was going to see Lin Fei this time, they specifically asked him to ask Lin Fei for his autograph.
He said he was going to pick him up, but in fact he was just waiting for him at the door of the company.
When Lin Fei got out of the nanny car, Zhang Zhong couldn't recognize him at all. The guy didn't make any disguise, he just simply put on a hat and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and his temperament was completely different.
He is very good at camouflage, which is better than him.
Zhang Zhong shook hands with Lin Fei, and then introduced Xu Yuhan and Peng Peng to him.
When Lin Fei saw Xu Yuhan and Peng Peng, he became cautious and said nervously, "I'm sorry, I came in a hurry this time and didn't bring a gift."
"What are you talking about, Mr. Lin? Let's go, I'll take you up. Chen Qing has something to do outside and should be back soon."
Zhang Zhong's company has grown to four floors, and Chen Qing's office is on the highest floor. Zhang Zhong took Lin Fei directly to Chen Qing's office.
He gave Xu Yuhan a work badge, "You take Pengpeng around, I'll talk to Mr. Lin about business for a while."
Pengpeng looked at the job card with great interest, "Dad, I want one too."
"Okay, here you go." Zhang Zhong got another work badge for her, "keep it well and don't lose it."
"Don't worry." Pengpeng happily looked at the work badge in his hand and recognized the words on it, "Written editor... I don't know the word behind it."
"Copy editor." Zhang Zhong said.
"What does a copy editor do? Is it very powerful?" Pengpeng asked.
Zhang nodded and said, "Well, it's very impressive. Go for a walk with Teacher Xu and don't run around."
The company has a holiday on Saturday, but some employees are still working overtime. He is afraid that Pengpeng's playing too crazy will affect other people's work.
"Dad, don't have any confidence in me. I've told you many times that I'm really good."
"Okay, okay, it's dad who talks too much."
Watching the two girls, one big and one small, walking out of the office, Lin Fei smiled and said, "Pengpeng is very cute."
"He is also a little troublemaker. Girls of this age are very noisy." Zhang Zhong said.
Lin Fei smiled and said nothing more. He likes children very much, but he has never been married until now.
"Mr. Lin, you..."
"Just call me Lin Fei."
Zhang Zhong smiled and nodded, "Lin Fei, do you have any business coming to Jiangyang this time?"
Lin Fei shook his head, "Nothing else, I'm just very interested in "The Devotion of Suspect
When it comes to commercial acting, when I see a good script, I sniff it and come over."
Zhang Zhong raised his eyebrows, and he was impressed by Lin Fei's directness. Although this guy looked silent and reserved, he was straight to the point when he got things done, and was not sloppy at all.
But that’s fine, Zhang Zhong doesn’t have the time to deal with other people’s petty thoughts.
"In that case, I won't talk nonsense to you. Our film project has also begun to be approved, but the personnel have not yet been determined. Of course, please rest assured that as long as you agree, these will be completed soon.
It will be implemented.”
In fact, Chen Qing should be the one to do these things, but Chen Qing was too busy today, so he had to go into battle himself.
Lin Fei nodded and said, "Well, I really hope to star in this movie. As for the salary, I think it's better to leave it to my agent to negotiate with you. But please don't worry, my salary is never high."
Zhang Zhong knew that Lin Fei was not joking. His salary was indeed not high. Data showed that in last year's salary list, Lin Fei was only ranked 45th among Chinese actors, with only about 20 million Chinese dollars. If it were
If Zhang Zhong invited him, the final deal would definitely be less than 20 million.
"I can make some concessions on my salary, but I want to make a request. Is that okay?" Before Zhang Zhong could speak, Lin Fei said again.
Although Lin Fei's way of talking about business made Zhang Zhong feel a little immature, he still smiled and said, "Of course, you can make any demands before reaching a cooperation."
The implication is that if you have any requests, make them as early as possible, otherwise there will be no chance after cooperation is reached.
"If possible, I hope to ask Director Lin Song to direct this movie." Lin Fei expressed his request.
Lin Song?
Zhang Zhong understood why Lin Fei made this request, because several of Lin Fei's award-winning films were basically directed by Lin Song, such as "Redemption", which made him the emperor for the ninth time.
Maybe working with Lin Song would give him more confidence.
However, Zhang Zhong has his own considerations, because "The Devotion of Suspect
More than ten million.
More than 20 million is not too high, but combined with Lin Fei's salary, it would be 40 million just to pay the two of them.
It's not just the two of them that can make a movie. It also requires hiring a lot of actors. Calculating, they need to spend tens of millions on actors, which means they have to reduce other production costs.
Although "The Devotion of Suspect X" is not a blockbuster, it is not a good thing to reduce other production costs like this.
If we want to agree to Lin Fei's request, we must increase investment.
In fact, Zhang Zhong and his company can save costs by doing the filming themselves. If another company does the filming, the cost may not be even 100 million. After all, Zhang Zhong still needs to pay over 10 million in copyright fees.
"I will consider your proposal." Zhang Zhong did not give an immediate reply, only saying that he would consider it.
Lin Fei nodded, "This is not a hard requirement, anything can be negotiated."
Zhang Zhong smiled, Lin Fei was really not a good business negotiator. If it were someone else, once he said this, the invitation to Lin Song would probably be ruined.
However, Zhang Zhong did listen to his suggestions. After all, Lin Song is very good at shooting crime films, and "Redemption" and "The Devotion of Suspect X" are somewhat similar in style.
If you don't talk about cost, Lin Song is indeed a good choice.
The two chatted for a while, and Chen Qing came back. Zhang Zhong told him roughly what they had discussed before. The rest was between Chen Qing and Lin Fei's agency.
Today we only have a preliminary understanding of the intention, and specific negotiations will probably take some time.
After Zhang Zhong sent Lin Fei away, he returned to the company to find Pengpeng and the others.
When they found them, Pengpeng was busy in front of a digital tablet, with several employees watching.
