I'm the director, I'm not bad

Chapter 412. 410. Winning by Fate

70 million.

an episode.

This is the result of Xu Xin and Luo Ming's extreme tussle. To make a joke, both sides also "killed" red eyes.

It was only when Xu Xin discovered that he had a talent for bargaining.

And CCTV's single-point experiment, which found that the experiment is feasible and then multi-point blossoms, is also the best argument for the classic "crossing the river by feeling the stones."

is tradition.

But in the traditional way, within a budget of 500 million, he managed to get 500 million, at least in his heart, he already felt that he was quite successful.

Coming out of the CCTV, he glanced at his cell phone which had been silent all morning.

Four missed calls.

One is Xu Haofeng, the other is Yang Mi, and the two are Qi Lei.

There are two more messages.

It's all from Yang Mi:
"Brother is here, when will you finish your work? Are you going home for lunch? We are waiting for you."

Article [-]:
"Director Wang personally called me, said good things to me, and then asked me if "The Grandmaster" could cooperate, and I agreed."

accepted?
Xu Xin raised his eyebrows.

Quickly replied:
"I just finished, so I'm going home. Go home and talk."

Then, he called Qi Lei.

The phone call from the factory must be answered immediately, maybe there is something wrong.

"Doo, hello, Director Xu."

"Brother Zi."

Xu Xin opened the car door with the phone between his arms:
"Did you call me? I was busy with documentary work on CCTV in the morning, and it's over here. What's wrong?"

"Documentary?"

Qi Lei was stunned:
"You want to make a documentary?"

"Yes, starting this year, CCTV will vigorously support the documentary industry. I was very interested, so I submitted a plan. This morning, everyone sat down and chatted.

"Well"

Hearing Xu Xin's words, although Qi Lei was surprised, he didn't have any other thoughts.

Strictly speaking, Xiying Film Studio has made little achievements in the field of documentaries.The documentaries released by the factory are more of a rigid need, and are used to promote the history and culture of Xiying.Let alone being realistic.
Documentaries don't quite match the temperament of Xiying Film Studio.

Although they are all things that test the artistry
"That's how it is"

"Brother Qi, what do you want me to do?"

"I heard that "The Grandmaster" wants to invite Mimi to play? What stage is it now? Have you got in touch with Mimi?"

".?"

Xu Xin was taken aback.

this
Weird.

How did the factory know about "The Grandmaster"?
How did she know that Yang Mi was in contact with "The Grandmaster"?
Moreover, the latter two questions are obviously a reflection that although they know it, they don't fully know it.

After thinking about it, Xu Xin asked:

"Brother Qi, where did this news come from?"

"Silver City."

Qi Lei did not hide it, and gave a name.

"Silver City. What is it?"

Xu Xin was a little unfamiliar with this name.

"You don't know? It's normal if you don't know. The name Yindu sounds quite unfamiliar to ordinary people. Let's put it this way, Director Zhang's "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" and "Painted Skin" which was very popular in the first two years. Oh yes, Including Bingbing's "New Shaolin Temple" is produced by their subsidiaries."

"Yo? So powerful? But why haven't I heard of it. I remember that the investment company of "Painted Skin" isn't Xiangjiang? What is it called? Dinglongda?"

"Yes. Dinglongda is an investment company under Phoenix. Yindu is a collection of three companies: "Phoenix", "Great Wall" and "Xinlian".Their qualifications are very old, and they are the first batch of film companies in Xiangjiang.It is also the first "overseas" Chinese-language film investment company controlled by the state after the reunification. "

". State-owned?"

"That's right, state-owned. But the shares are all owned by Xiangjiang. Li Pingqian, Zhu Shilin, Hu Xiaofeng, Huang Yu, Zhang Xinyan and other older Xiangjiang directors are all owned by their company. Among the young and middle-aged generation, Director Zhang has also cooperated with them. , including Xu Ke, Du Qifeng, Zhang Manyu, etc.
Even Mr. Jin's "Flying Snow Evens the Sky Shoots the White Deer" works are copyrighted by them. Let's put it this way, if you watch Xiangjiang movies on the bright side, they are Golden Harvest and Emperor.But in fact, there is still a big difference in the size of these companies and Yindu. "

"Hiss~~~~"

Hearing this "behind-the-scenes cold knowledge" unexpectedly, Xu Xin was really confused for a while.

"So powerful? Then how did they find our factory?"

"Everyone is a state-owned factory, and we don't see each other when we look up. They only came into contact with us last month. We are currently discussing cooperation. If there is no accident, our factory's youth talent base training project will start next year. After going online, they are the main partners.
Xiangjiang Films has not done well in the past two years, and they have begun to move from the outside to the mainland.We are the partners.Didn't Mr. Tian tell you?Both you and Mimi will participate in the youth talent training program that will start next year. "

".It got us two involved, but I thought it was our factory's own talent cultivation."

"It's nothing serious, is it?"

There was a smile in Qi Lei's voice:
"Hehe, it's normal. Don't say that outsiders can't see clearly our family's family background, and many old people don't know it themselves. They are all held by Mr. Tian. Let the two of you come over. In fact, we are all expanding resources together. You are now our The facade of the factory, the hotter you and Mimi are, the better for us. So even if you don’t know about the matter of Yindu this time, after the next year’s plan is put on the agenda, you will know what you should know. Sooner or later, sooner or later It doesn't matter if you know it's late.

Hearing this, Xu Xin understood the energy behind the company "Yindu".

But immediately the problem came:
"Yindu asked about our factory Mimi's business?"

"You don't know yet, do you? Shanghai Film Studio plans to sell "The Grandmaster" and they are a bit impatient. It is said that Wang Jiawei's script has been polished for ten years, and they don't know why they broke up. Now they have to find another investment Fang. He took the script to find Yindu."

".????"

In an instant, Xu Xin was stunned again:

"The talk broke down? With Shanghai Film Studio? What's going on here?

thing? "

"Mimi and Wang Jiawei haven't been in contact?"

"Yes, my daughter-in-law has finished the audition. But I don't know about the collapse of the talk, but now one of the three screenwriters of "The Grandmaster" is waiting for me to go back to dinner at my house.

".What the hell?"

Qi Lei was also stunned.

Xu Xin roughly talked about the relationship between himself and his wife and Xu Haofeng.

"That's how it is"

Qi Lei thought for a while and said:
"The news I got is this. Wang Jiawei hopes that Yindu can invest in himself, and the people in Yindu also attach great importance to this project. And because they want to transfer to the mainland, this time the parent company directly invests. Then... the people over there I should have asked about the preparation progress of this drama, the male lead is Leung Chiu Wai, I don’t know how many female lead candidates there are, but people know that Yang Mi is also among them.”

"Yeah, so you found the factory?"

"Yes. I just finished the meeting this morning. Mr. Tian meant that since everyone is deepening cooperation, investment in this play can be considered. But the factory

A little requirement, since investing, it must give priority to our own people.

I would like to ask you which part of Mimi and "The Grandmaster" came into contact with
step.If Mimi wants to act, the factory fully supports it.This heroine is definitely going to be Mimi!And the speed must be fast, because Wang Jiawei not only found the Yindu family, but also contacted Bona.

His investment in this play is not small, and the risk is too high for any company to take part in it one by one.But the factory has full confidence in Mimi, as long as Mimi speaks, she will absolutely support her! "

The strong support from her natal family immediately warmed Xu Xin's heart.

but
"Shanghai Film Studio is sure to sell? How much investment do you plan to make for this movie?"

"The initial cost seems to be 7000 million, and then an additional 1.5 million will be added."

". More than two billion?"

"Yes. You don't have to worry about money, Yindu is also a rich man of gold dollars."

"."

For a moment, Xu Xin didn't know what to say.

How can there be a sense of déjà vu that the emperor's illegitimate son has leapt from no one to the heir to the crown prince's throne?
And thinking about it.
"Beep, beep, beep."

Hearing the sound on the phone, Xu Xin glanced at the screen subconsciously.

Caller: Xue Haifeng.

"."

His mouth twitched.

However, Xue Haifeng probably heard the busy signal on the phone, so he hung up immediately.

Xu Xin thought for a while and said:

"Brother Qi, I'll go home first, Xu Haofeng is waiting at home. The message Yang Mi sent me just now said that Xu Haofeng invited her to be the heroine, and she agreed."
".what?"

Qi Lei was taken aback again.

My heart said why didn't you say it earlier.
"Already promised?"

"That's what it said in the text message. I was busy on CCTV in the morning, and I didn't answer her call. You can't wait for me to go home and see what's going on. Ask Yang Mi?"

"I won't ask, right? You and Mimi can handle this drama. Our cooperation with Yindu will definitely not escape, but you have to weigh your own interests. The factory is absolutely supportive, but if because of You are being wronged in the factory. Personally, I don’t want to see it. Mimi’s career is still going on.

As for the promotion, you have to plan it yourself.

Not even an 8P central air conditioner can say such a warm thing.

Xu Xin couldn't help being happy:
"Haha, I'm so touched by what I said."

"Why are you moved? Shouldn't you? Just remember that our cooperation with Yindu cannot escape. Yindu came to us because of Mimi's box office appeal. Resource exchange started on the project.

Next year, not only Mimi, but you, Bingbing, and the rest of us will also be in the ranks of resource tilting.We will start to gain momentum next year, and what we need are talents who can fight.There are many resources, but few people.Whoever is pushed out is pushed out and must give priority to one's own people.

"I understand. Then I'll go home first and call you in the afternoon?

"Okay. Then I'll wait for you."

"Um!"

Qi Lei hung up the phone, Xu Xin sat in the car, lit a cigarette, and was stunned for more than a minute.

After more than a minute, he summed up a sentence for himself:

"Still too young."

At the beginning, he really thought that the young talent training plan mentioned by Mr. Tian was something that was created to support the drainage of talents in the Northwest Circle.

It belongs to the kind of "youth training" plan that is weak at first, expands business little by little, and strengthens oneself.

Who would have thought that there would be such a thing?
What about the Hong Kong area?
Hong Kong area

Falling is true.

But a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

The "legacy" of Eastern Hollywood. Tsk tsk tsk.
Just feeling emotional, the phone rang again.

Seeing that it was Xue Haifeng calling, he connected the phone directly:

"Hello, Mr. Xue."

"Director Xu, it's hard for you to hide it from me!"

Xue Haifeng's first sentence made Xu Xin guess what was going on.

But he still had to keep pretending to be confused.

"Ah? What? Where did Mr. Xue say that?"

"Haha. Director Xu, we are flooded into the Dragon King Temple, and our own people are beating our own people!"

"What do you mean? Why didn't I understand?
"Director Xu, director Wang Jiawei's "The Grandmaster" is in contact with Mimi?"

"How did Mr. Xue know?"

"Director Xu, didn't Wang Jiawei tell you that we are the investors in this film?"

"Uh? It's the Shanghai Film Studio? No, I haven't heard of it. My daughter-in-law just went to try a shot."

"Oh!"

Xue Haifeng seemed to be really speechless.

After hearing Xu Xin's explanation, he let out a long sigh:
"What's this called? I said it was Mimi earlier, and it wouldn't be the case until now."

"What happened? What happened to The Grandmaster?"

Xu Xin continued to pretend to be confused while pretending to understand.

Fortunately, Xue Haifeng didn't think too much about it.

He really thought Xu Xin didn't know.

So he said:

"We have been preparing to package and sell this movie for a few days.
Ready to divest. "

"Divestment? Why? Isn't the script pretty good?"

"Director Xu saw it?"

"Yeah, a great story."

"The story is good. If Director Xu came to guide it, we would definitely have confidence."

"Haha, don't. Why should I get involved in someone else's director Wang's play?"

Although he knew that he was talking in favor of himself, Xu Xin still put on an attitude.

He doesn't intend to get involved in this drama.That looks disgraceful.

And Xue Haifeng was also polite, after hearing his words, he said:

"We were planning to divest. Although the story is a good story, we also took over this story from other investment companies. After buying it in 07, we originally planned to start filming in 08, but it was delayed until this year due to script problems.

"Director Wang is slow in filming, that's normal."

"It's normal, but isn't the script finished now? Our tens of millions of funds have been suppressed for several years. To put it bluntly, Director Xu, you just came to the Bund to buy a suite with these 7000 to [-] million.
Son, the value has increased a lot in the past two years, right?Therefore, people in Guangli have great opinions on this investment. "

"Well, what then?"

"Then Director Wang said that the script has been completed and we plan to shoot it next year. We definitely want to speed up. You can't shoot a movie for another three to five years, right? Our requirement is to finish it within one year, and it must be released in 11 years.

But Director Wang disagreed.Moreover, the amount of additional investment he requested was too large. On top of the 7000 million already spent, an additional [-] million was needed.Then when the project was declared, he didn't tell us that he was looking for Mimi as the heroine, but pushed Zhang Ziyi over.

Zhang Ziyi's recent incidents have been quite violent.The factory made a comprehensive consideration and decided to give up the project, but who would have thought that he would even have a hand in it!I said it was Mimi, so let's sit down and have a good chat!How does Zhang Ziyi compare with Mimi! ? "

Xue Haifeng's words sounded quite upbeat.It's that "how could this person be like this" tone.but actually it's totally
Hold it and say it.

Xu Xin naturally understood.

If nothing else, just the last sentence
If nothing happened to Zhang Ziyi, Yang Mi's achievements would be incomparable to hers.

So... whether this was meant by Shanghai Film Studio, or Xue Haifeng added it himself, Xu Xin is not very easy to say.

But he understood the meaning.

Obviously, whether it is because of Yang Mi who is now the youngest Golden Rooster actress, or the second youngest Mainland Golden Horse actress after Li Xiaolu, or the possibility of further deepening cooperation between Xu Xin and Shanghai Film Studio.
Xue Haifeng. Or what Shanghai Film Studio means.
"We were going to sell "The Grandmaster" originally, but because of Director Xu and Mimi's face, we still have to talk about it later!"

just this morning
After New Year's Day, the morning of resumption of work began.All of a sudden, everything collided like this.

Thinking of this, Xu Xin said:

"Yang Mi did participate in the audition for "The Grandmaster", but Director Wang did consider Zhang Ziyi at first."

"Director Xu, don't worry! As long as Mimi wants to play this role, then this role is hers!"

The corner of Xu Xin's mouth twitched.
Although these words are exactly the same as what Qi Lei said.But the meaning is quite different.

Shanghai Film Studio. Why are you so attentive all of a sudden?
This hospitality is a little too much.

what's the situation?
After thinking about it, he said:
"Mr. Xue's words are too serious. If Mimi knows, she might be so inflated. She can get the support of Shanghai Film Studio, hahahaha~"

"Hahaha, my friend, it should be right, Director Xu, let me ask. Director Xu's cousin recently got close to Wen Zhang, do we have any projects?"

Xu Xin's eyes moved.

"No, maybe it's just a simple relationship. Xu Zhi also met when we played golf last time."

"So, when will Director Xu come to Shanghai this time? Invite him and let's have a meal together."

"This time we are going on the 8th and 9th."

"Haha, that's fine. I'll give Director Xu a break then, let's talk slowly? How about it?"

"Alright. See you then."

"Well. Let's put it this way first. If Mimi wants to act in the matter of "The Grandmaster", let's have a good chat about it then."

This matter. Wang Jiawei did not kindly do this. What kind of Zhang Ziyi is there, right? "

"Hahaha"

You ha ha, I ha ha.

After a round of haha, the phone hung up.

Xu Xin's brows really frowned this time.

It is normal to say that both Xiying Studio and Yin are so considerate to their wives.

My own person.

Everyone goes hand in hand and deepens cooperation together.But Shanghai Film Studio's hospitality was a bit too much.

It can even be said that it is a bit flattering.

After thinking about it, he finally started the car and dialed Xu Zhi's phone while driving out of the CCTV parking lot.

"Hey, what's up?"

Xu Zhi sounded a little noisy.

Xu Xin ignored it and just asked:
"Have you had any contact with people from Shanghai Film Studio recently?"

"Yeah, we just had dinner together yesterday."

"With whom? Xue Haifeng?"

"No, it was me, Sister Mo, Wen Zhang, Xu Yang, and Director Chen who was next to Director Xue when we played golf last time."

"What did you eat together?"

"A play called "Snow Leopard". The script Wen Zhang gave me looked good. Sister Mo looked at it and said that we would have dinner and talk about this play. Oh, you haven't seen it. Then Director Chen read it.
When I got to Sister Mo, my eyes were straight.""

"What do you mean? Have you taken a fancy to Sister Mo?"

"No, he knows Sister Mo. That's called being courteous.". Knows Sister Mo?"

"Yes. But Sister Mo doesn't know him." "."

As soon as Xu Zhi said this, it was tantamount to solving the case for Xu Xin.

No wonder the attitude changed so quickly.

It doesn't matter whether it's my own or not, it's purely because of Sister Mo.

Those who were able to go to the Golf Manor that day were all people from Xue Haifeng's family.

Since Director Chen, whom he had no impression of, could recognize Sister Mo, it was equivalent to Xue Haifeng knowing Sister Mo.As for the shareholding composition of Headwind Entertainment, there is basically no need to check it, just for myself and Xu Zhi
Anyone with a brain can figure out the connection between the small children.

"tsk"

Thinking of this, he shook his head:
"Okay, I see."

"You want to ask about "Snow Leopard"?"

"I'm asking why. Okay, let's just leave it at that. I'm still busy with things. Let's talk about it when we go to Shanghai in a few days.

The phone hung up, and Xu Xin was thinking about the contents of these calls all the way home.

The investment in "The Grandmaster" doesn't matter whether Shanghai Film Studio will withdraw its life or not. After understanding with Xue Haifeng on the phone, he feels that even if his wife joins, Shanghai Film Studio will not take that risk.

2 million investment.It's a bit big, to be honest.

The main reason why Shanghai Film Studio decided to sell is because the investment has already begun to lose money in terms of return on investment.And at this time, if you invest more than [-] million in it, you will only lose more.

If you follow this line of thinking, then even if they no longer choose to sell, there is only one way to go.

Find someone to co-invest and share the risk.

And the investment in this game.
Intuition told Xu Xin that he might not make money.Shanghai Film Studio's thinking is actually correct.

There is nothing wrong with that example.

The appreciation value brought by buying a building for 5000 million yuan is higher than this movie that God knows how long it will take to make.

And now this Yindu came out to contact Xiyingguang.

It shows that at least their investment in this movie is exciting.

It's even possible that their goal is not just money.

Because this project can be judged by anyone with a discerning eye, the domestic market may not be able to make money.

Although Wang Jiawei's overseas box office appeal is not bad.

But it is actually quite stupid to invest one or two hundred million yuan to gamble on an illusory overseas market.

But Yindu was still moved, and wanted to contact Xiying Studio.

Things are actually interesting here.

what is this?Knowing that Yang Mi participated in the show, how much money would buy a horse bone?

The difference between state-owned film studios and private investment companies is that whether or not a film makes money is definitely not their only measure of value.

The measurement indicators of state-owned factories are more complicated, such as the guiding role.

For example, the layout and promotion of the industrial chain.

The supremacy of money can be the eternal and unchanging goal of the private sector.

But whoever dares to shout this slogan in a state-owned factory is tantamount to abandoning the original path.

Therefore, even if it is Shanghai Film Studio, there must be an existence like Honglin Investment Company in order to walk this path.

And if Shanghai Film Studio needs to find someone to share the pressure.

Silver is involved.The factory will also follow up.

Three "invisible" behemoths are gathered in this video.
This matter reveals a bit of interesting meaning.

The big brother with the initials of the three countries is here.

Other private companies basically stand aside.

It is impossible to have the living space of other companies bit by bit.

Even if it's just investing 2000 million or even 5000 million just to get a name, it's basically impossible.

Because this will send a signal to the outside world that this private investment company has the strength not to be squeezed out by these three companies.

To put it bluntly, Sanjia will not cook this pot of food for others in vain.

Because your private investment company can sit on an equal footing with three state-owned factories, the energy behind you is a bit too incredible.

Therefore, if these three companies really voted, then the names appearing in the issuer and investor column can only be those companies that have previously paid for the script in name only, or even went bankrupt and disappeared.

After all, no matter how many honors a "dead man" confers, it is only a posthumous title.

No power.

but if.

Under this premise, can Shuangwei or Headwind get involved?

Is the profit point big?

This is what Xu Xin is thinking about.

Now, what kind of artistry "The Grandmaster" will produce for the actors and the film itself, under the premise of the established facts that have already happened, there is no need to think about it.
The.

After the film is shot, everything will be revealed naturally.He was thinking about matters on another level.

For some fans, or fans.This could just be an average movie.

At best, it is the work of a famous director.

But now, judging from inside the circle, a play involves Shanghai Film Studio, Xi Film Studio, and Yindu, a cross-river dragon from Xiangjiang.

The investment company that can make these three companies face is something completely different.

The wife has been wanting to drink coffee.

Establish prestige and status in the circle.

In other words, all those who have the potential to be first-tier cafes, from Zhang Ziyi to Liang Bingning, all they want to do is to improve their status in the circle.

Everyone's path is different, but the goal is common.

Improve your status, enter the superstructure of the pyramid, and become the one who shakes the wind and rain on the top of the tower.

Zhang Ziyi wanted to take the road of setting industry standards, but ended up offending people. BADEND.

Sister Bingbing was stimulated by someone else's sentence "I will be a maid's life all my life", so she chose to run away and become an independent boss.I hope to run the company into a behemoth, but I have to do both, although it is not clear whether it is HAPPYEND or not.

But she was very tired and difficult to walk.But what about the wife?
Right now seems like a great opportunity.Effortless opportunity.

The Xiying Film Factory supported it, and the three major state-owned factories allowed it.

Whether it is Shuangwei or Nifeng, they can easily navigate among the "three royal families". Regardless of what outsiders think about it, it doesn't matter whether it is checks and balances or mediation.

This display of strength is real.Ordinary people can't even enter the "door".

Just ask, the three state-owned factories have to give "me" this face.

If you don't even want to shout a Gadfale with me, it's a bit too much.

When I reached out to you, you seemed to have no choice but to bend down and kiss the back of my hand, accepting the kindness I released.

And look at it this way.
This is no better than being born out of a certain circle and relying on the circle
Only people with prestige can become masters.
Domineering?

If it can be done, what is this wave called?
This wave is called a win-win.
