"Ye Shan, will Mr. Lin come?" the director of "Special District 9" asked Ye Shan sitting next to him in a low voice.
"I should be able to do this, Mr. Lin promised me." Ye Shan said.
Even though she was talking about it, Ye Shan still had a very hesitant look on her face.
"This time the box office broke the record, and a large part of the credit goes to Mr. Lin. It would be a pity if Mr. Lin didn't come," the director said.
"Let me go to the door and have a look." Ye Shan stood up and walked towards the door.
However, only halfway through, Ye Shan quickened her pace because she saw a familiar figure appearing at the door.
"Mr. Lin!" Ye Shan hurriedly came to Lin Zhiming and hugged Lin Zhiming's hand excitedly.
"Are you not late?" Lin Zhiming asked with a smile.
"No, of course not. Look, there's no food on the table yet!" Ye Shan said with a smile.
"That's good, here, this is a gift for you! To celebrate your first movie, you broke the record!" Lin Zhiming said, taking his hand out of Ye Shan's hand, and handed a bag in his hand
Gave it to Ye Shan.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin!" Ye Shan took the bag and took out a book from it.
On the front page of the book are the words "Actor's Self-cultivation".
"I specifically went to find Stephen Chow to sign this book. I remember you said that your favorite star is Stephen Chow." Lin Zhiming said.
"Thank you Mr. Lin! I like your gift so much!" Ye Shan said excitedly.
Lin Zhiming smiled and said, "Where is the director? I have to go and congratulate him."
"Mr. Lin, come with me!" Ye Shan said, leading Lin Zhiming towards the depths of the banquet hall.
At this time, the director and the main creator of the film who were sitting at the main table also saw Lin Zhiming. Everyone stood up and walked towards Lin Zhiming.
"Everyone, we meet again, haha, congratulations to everyone!" Lin Zhiming said to everyone with a smile. Most of the people in front of him had spent a long time in Kimchi Country with him, so he knew almost all of them.
"Hello, Mr. Lin!"
"Mr. Lin, long time no see!"
The main creators of the movie greeted Lin Zhiming one after another.
"Director, congratulations!" Lin Zhiming smiled and hugged the director's shoulders.
"Thanks to Mr. Lin, without you, there would be no record-breaking movie today!" the director said with a smile.
"Haha, I did it by mistake. By the way, let's not talk about it for now. In addition to coming to eat, I also brought you gifts." Lin Zhiming said.
"Mr. Lin, you are so polite. Your coming is the best gift!" the director said.
"Don't say that, people are coming, and gifts are also coming! But I will give this gift out after everyone starts drinking for a while, so let's sell it now!" Lin Zhiming said.
"Okay, Mr. Lin, please take a seat, we will start the dinner soon!" the director said.
Lin Zhiming nodded, walked to the head of the main table with the director, and then sat on the main seat.
Not long after, the dinner party started.
This time, in addition to the crew, many celebrities also came to the celebration banquet, and the atmosphere was extremely lively.
The dinner party had just begun, and there was already a long queue of people waiting for toasts at Lin Zhiming's side.
Many celebrities that Lin Zhiming had only seen on TV before came to him.
"Mr. Lin, I am Yang Mi. I have always admired you..."
"Mr. Lin, I am Di Lire, I am your fan!"
"Mr. Lin, I am Zhao Liying, can I add your prestige?"
These people all spoke to Mr. Lin, shouting with great enthusiasm.
Lin Zhiming did not reveal his identity, but smiled and clinked glasses with these people. Some of them looked familiar and could even chat for a few words.
When Lin Zhiming met some female celebrities who were good at acting coquettishly, they even threatened to take away their prestige.
Looking at these top domestic stars in front of him, Lin Zhiming deeply felt the power of capital in the entertainment industry.
"Everyone, please be quiet. Let me say a few words." Lin Zhiming took a microphone and said with a smile.
The originally lively banquet scene suddenly became quiet, and many people looked at Lin Zhiming curiously.
"When I first started investing in this movie, I was actually prepared to lose money because I wasn't very familiar with the film industry. This movie was just a way to ask questions. Unexpectedly, it became an instant hit and broke the Dragon Kingdom.
The movie's box office record, here I would like to thank all the creative staff of the movie, especially the director, and the leading actors and actresses!" Lin Zhiming said seriously.
"Mr. Lin, you're so polite!" the director said.
"Mr. Lin, it's an honor for us to be able to participate in the movie, and we thank you too," the male lead said.
Lin Zhiming smiled and continued, "This movie broke the box office record in such a short time after its release. I believe that the future box office results will definitely reach an unprecedented level. Here... I want to give all the creators of the movie
The staff gave me the first gift, which was actually very simple, it was money.”
money?
Hearing Lin Zhiming's words, many people's eyes suddenly lit up.
If there is something in this world that everyone loves, it must be money.
"On behalf of the Lin Group, I promise to all those involved in the creation and filming of this film that the remuneration you have received from your participation in this film until now will be doubled on the original basis, even if you
You are just an extra in this movie, and you received a salary of 5,000 yuan from this movie, then you can use the relevant vouchers to find the finance of this movie and withdraw a bonus of 10,000 yuan!" Lin Zhiming said.
Wow!
The entire banquet hall suddenly became noisy.
In the past, after some movies achieved excellent box office results, investors would also give some financial rewards to relevant personnel, but these were usually only for the main creative personnel, such as the main and deputy directors, male and female leading actors, supporting actors, etc., but companies like Lin Zhiming's
The extra actors were also rewarded together, which has never happened before in the history of Dragon Kingdom movies.
"I think everyone may be wondering why I want to reward extra actors. It's actually very simple. In my opinion, the success of a movie is not only related to the director, starring, and supporting actors, but also to everyone involved.
It has something to do with people. These people include extras. Hundreds of extras are responsible for the grand scenes of our movies and every frame and painting of today’s movies. So... I also want to thank them here.
, thank them for their contribution to the movie!" Lin Zhiming said seriously.
Bang bang bang!
There were bursts of applause at the scene, because there were many people at the scene who had been extras before, and few people took extras seriously. They could thank the extras like Lin Zhiming, and actually spend money to reward the extras.
It was a performance that moved them from the bottom of their hearts.
"On behalf of all the film staff, I would like to thank Mr. Lin!" the director said emotionally.
"This is just the first!" Lin Zhiming smiled and raised his second finger and said, "Now I give you the second gift. This second gift is... The film company under the Lin Group will invest in the filming
The sequel to "Section 9", we will invest five times more in this sequel than the previous one. If there are no problems with the schedules of the cast and crew, I very much hope that the sequel of "Section 9" will be directed by
Everyone, please continue to come and create and participate!”
Wow!
There was another burst of noise at the scene.
Before this, even the director himself had not received any news about the filming of the sequel. Unexpectedly, Lin Zhiming announced it like this, and it required five times more investment than the previous one!
The investment in this "District 9" is not very amazing, only 500 million. This is considered a medium-invested movie in the film industry. But if the investment in the next movie can reach 2.5 billion, it will definitely be a dragon.
The top investment in the Chinese film industry!
There are only a handful of companies in the entire Dragon Kingdom that have invested more than 2.5 billion in history. This not only means that the production level of the film will be higher, but also that everyone's remuneration will be higher.
"Mr. Lin, as long as you say a word, I will definitely continue filming this sequel!" the director said loudly.
"Mr. Lin, I am also willing to continue to participate in the filming of the sequel!" the male lead said.
Many people at the scene also expressed their willingness to participate in the filming of the sequel.
Lin Zhiming smiled and raised his hand and pressed it down to signal everyone to be quiet.
After everyone calmed down, Lin Zhiming said with a smile, "The above are the two gifts I gave to "District 9". The gifts are not heavy, but they represent my feelings. Okay, let's continue drinking and laughing.
Skin!"
After saying this, Lin Zhiming put down the microphone in his hand.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became heated.
"You will be the starring role in the next drama." Lin Zhiming said to Ye Shan, who was sitting next to him.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin, thank you!" Ye Shan said movedly.
"Ye Shan, you are not allowed to have two more drinks with Mr. Lin?" said the director on the side.
Ye Shan nodded, quickly picked up the wine glass and said, "Mr. Lin, I'd like to toast you three glasses!"
"Just one glass is enough. You can't finish the wine in a while, so drink it slowly." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"Yeah!" Ye Shan said, drinking all the wine in the cup.
Lin Zhiming picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in his own glass.
The director on the side was about to say something when his cell phone suddenly rang.
"Mr. Lin, I'm going to take a call." The director apologized and explained to Lin Zhiming, then picked up the phone and walked aside.
"After this movie makes you popular, you will have to participate in all the domestic first-line variety shows. The character of the pure female college student must be stable. Do you understand?" Lin Zhiming said to Ye Shan.
"I know!" Ye Shan nodded.
"You are the first actress I have ever admired. You can't embarrass me. Come on, have another drink." Lin Zhiming picked up the wine glass and said.
Ye Shan quickly picked up the wine glass and had a drink with Lin Zhiming.
At this moment, the director returned to the table, his face extremely solemn.
"What's wrong?" Lin Zhiming noticed something strange about the director and asked.
"Mr. Lin, I just received news from the Optoelectronics Headquarters, which requires our movie to be released nationwide after twelve o'clock..." the director said with a trembling voice.
