Actor: I picked up attributes on the set

Chapter 196 Invest Lin Yuan for [-] million?

The call was from Miss Xia.

Originally, Sister Xia went to the fan signing event with him, but she left after receiving a call from Mr. Li, and never saw her come back. She didn't call until now that the signing event was over.

Lin Yuan answered the phone and asked curiously, "Hey, sister Xia, the autograph session here is over, how about you?"

"Is the autograph session over yet?"

Sister Xia on the other end of the phone was a little excited, as if something good had happened, and added: "Great, I'm here to pick you up now, a good thing has happened to you!"

good thing?

Lin Yuan was somewhat puzzled. If Miss Xia had said this before winning the Golden Horse Award, he would think there was nothing wrong with it.

But now that he has just won this year's Golden Horse Award, he has suddenly become the top 1 actor on Weibo. What could be better than winning the award?

"Sister Xia, let me tell you what a good thing it is."

Generally, if there is any good thing, sister Xia will basically let him know in advance.

But this time it seemed a little different. Sister Xia's words came to her lips, and she finally swallowed them back: "I'll be right there, I'll tell you in the car later."

Seeing that Sister Xia refused to give in, Lin Yuan had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​continuing to ask.

Anyway, it will be clear when we meet later, there is no need to rush for these few minutes.

After a while, Miss Xia hurriedly walked into the venue, and walked straight towards Lin Yuan who was staring at the screen of her mobile phone.

Sister Xia walked up to Lin Yuan and asked out of breath, "Is there nothing going on here?"

If there are still things that have not been dealt with at the fan signing event here, then the things here must be dealt with first.

After all, for celebrities, it is very important to maintain the relationship with the fan base. Many celebrities are always exposed to playing big names when they are filming or participating in variety shows, but few of them are exposed to playing big names in the interactive venue with fans. The thing is because everyone in the circle knows that fans are the stars' cash cow.

Lin Yuan stood up and shrugged his shoulders, indicating that the matter here has already been done.

Seeing this, sister Xia led him to the parking lot.

After the two got into the car, Lin Yuan asked, "Sister Xia, can you tell me what's going on now?"

Sister Xia didn't answer directly, but asked Lin Yuan: "Do you still remember when I said that a capitalist is going to invest in your movie?"

"Of course I remember"

Speaking of this, Lin Yuan immediately came to his senses: "Sister Xia, is it the owner who is planning to invest in me to make a movie right now?"

Sister Xia showed a smile on her face, nodded and said, "It's about the same. Mr. Li said that the management specially invited you to have a meal. As for the movie, let's talk about it later."

It was approaching the evening rush hour after get off work, and the hotel could be reached in 15 minutes when the road was clear. After driving for nearly an hour, it was already 06:30 when the two got off the bus.

The waiter at the door greeted the two of them, and they didn't turn their bodies back to the outside of the door until they walked into the hall.

The lobby of this hotel is not decorated in a rustic and resplendent style. On the contrary, it chooses a relatively calm brown wooden main body. Only the corner lines are connected by golden metal plates, making it feel low-key and luxurious. There are display tables on both sides. Porcelain and imitation bronze vessels are placed, and landscape paintings are hung on the walls, with a strong national style. Lin Yuan likes the overall shape.

In a hotel like this, except for VIPs, basically everyone has to reserve a seat in advance.

Even though Lin Yuan has participated in so many wine games these days, compared with this hotel, any hotels are still a level lower.

Lin Yuan looked at the decoration and found out a series of shortcomings and advantages, and he couldn't help wondering what the origin of the management was.

"Okay, let's go."

Sister Xia asked for the exact location on the phone, then greeted Lin Yuan, and the two got on the elevator.

After arriving on the third floor, I told the receptionist the number of the private room, and the waiter took him to the door, opened the door, and there were two people sitting inside, one was Mr. Li from Xitian Media, and the other was for Lin Yuan. It is a little strange.

Sister Xia said apologetically, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, there is a traffic jam on the road, so I'm late."

Although the time they set was seven o'clock, the two of them were half an hour earlier, but the management had to wait for a long time, so they had to lower their posture.

President Li of Xitian Media got up and asked Lin Yuan and Ning Luoxia to sit down, and at the same time acted as a middleman, introducing to both parties: "This is the president of Guangguang Media, Li Xiaoping, President Li, this is Lin Yuan and his manager. Ning Luoxia is gone."

After hearing President Li's introduction, Lin Yuan and Ning Luoxia were somewhat surprised.

They are both Mr. Li, but their positions are very different. One is the CEO of Xitian Media, and the other is the vice president of Guangguang Media. If you think about it, you will know that they are not heavyweights.

"Hello, Mr. Li!"

"Hello, Mr. Li!"

Lin Yuan and Ning Luoxia stepped forward to shake hands with the big boss of Guangguang Media.

"That's right, Lin Yuan, right? You have brought many surprises to our Enlight Media. Not only have you acted in movies that are getting more and more box office hits, but you've won the title of Best Actor at a young age. You're young and promising!" Li Xiaoping He praised Lin Yuan without hesitation.

Since Lin Yuan entered the box, Li Xiaoping's eyes basically fell on Lin Yuan, looking back and forth.

Xitian Media was originally considered a subsidiary of Enlight Media, but now that Lin Yuan won the double actor, which drove up Xitian Media's stock price, they naturally enjoyed the benefits of Enlight Media.

However, as Lin Yuan won the double actor, other media companies also set their sights on Lin Yuan. After all, with Lin Yuan's current popularity, investing in Lin Yuan is definitely a sure-fire thing, and capital is not a fool. You can't hand over a business that is sure to make money without losing it to others, right?

So Guangguang Media also contacted Xitian Media very quickly, hoping to find a time to make an appointment with Lin Yuan, and then confirm the investment in filming.

After chatting a few polite words, Vice President Li of Enlight Media turned the topic to serious business.

"Lin Yuan, are you interested in directing a movie yourself?"

Vice President Li looked directly at Lin Yuan, as if he wanted to read some clues from his expression: "Of course, you don't have to worry about film investment, we Guangguang Media will take full responsibility."

It has to be said that as the largest privately-owned media and entertainment group in China, Enlight Media is still very strong. Whether it is film investment, artist brokerage, entertainment information programs and other entertainment industries, almost all of them are involved.

After hearing Vice President Li's rich and powerful words, Lin Yuan must be lying if he said that he was not moved.

However, Lin Yuan was not in a hurry to give his answer. He had just won the Golden Horse Award and was at the height of his popularity. There must be many media companies willing to invest in him.

Huayi Brothers is going downhill, and urgently need to produce a few good works for them to support their cards, and Wanda Film and Television Media, as a rising star that has only developed in recent years, is also willing to spend money on investing in movies. "Tang Detective 1" and the upcoming "Tang Detective 2" both have its support.

With Lin Yuan's current popularity, no matter which media company he cooperates with, it can create a win-win situation.

Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't make a decision for a while, Vice President Li deliberately pretended to be chatting, and brought the topic to Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang, who had a good relationship with Lin Yuan: "Speaking of which you recently starred in "A Good Show" with Huang Bo , it was invested and released by Enlight Pictures, and by the way, Bao Qiang's "Havoc in Tianzhu" is also the same."

"No matter how you say it, you are also Guang Guang's own family. We will definitely support filmmaking."

The reason why Vice President Li talked about this is to explain to Lin Yuan the strength of their Enlight Media.

At the same time, he is also telling Lin Yuan that if he wants to direct and act in a movie by himself, whether it is in terms of investment or movie promotion, it will be only as good as the two movies "A Good Show" and "Havoc in Tianzhu". Not a lot.

Enlight Media's investment in these two films is almost [-] million, and this is after the turmoil in Baoqiang's family, otherwise Enlight Media's investment will only be more than the current [-] million.

If Lin Yuan is willing to direct a movie by himself now, he dare not say much. There is still no problem with getting an investment of [-] million yuan. Then, as the director, he will invest part of it to make a qualified commercial film. It is basically more than enough.

Hearing this, both Mr. Li and Sister Xia started coughing softly to remind Lin Yuanlai.

If such a good thing were to be done by them, they would have agreed to it long ago.

Now that Vice President Li said so, it is obviously not appropriate for Lin Yuan to wait for a price. He picked up the wine glass in front of him, stood up and toasted to Vice President Li and said, "Then thank Vice President Li for his kindness."

After Lin Yuan's words fell, Li Xiaoping, vice president of Guangguang Media, also heaved a sigh of relief.

If it is another first-line star, if they don’t agree, they Guangming Media have a lot of ways to deal with it, but when it comes to stars like Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang, they basically leave the brokerage company and work alone. , Huayi Brothers and Wanda Film and Television may secretly know how to have fun behind the scenes.

Although Lin Yuan hasn't left Xitian Media yet, his situation is basically the same as that of these top stars. If they don't want to cooperate with them, they really have nothing to do with them.

Just when Vice President Li breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Yuan's voice came again.

"However, Vice President Li, the shooting of the movie may have to be postponed for a while. You know, I haven't finished filming Brother Bo's movie, and I have to star in Brother Baoqiang's "Havoc in Tianzhu" later. I'm afraid it will have to wait until next year"

Lin Yuan briefly talked about his upcoming schedule.

The meaning is very simple, he is willing to do film making, but he just can't spare the time for the time being.

What he said is true, but there is another very important reason why he didn't say it, that is, he needs to spend time choosing the script. As his debut work, the importance of the script is self-evident.

If he agrees directly now, Guangguang Media will find him a random script, relying on his current popularity, of course he can reap a wave of box office, but the consequence of doing so is that his accumulated reputation will plummet!
Of course Vice President Li knew what Lin Yuan was up to, but it was enough for everyone to know this kind of thing.

Vice President Li agreed very readily: "No problem, if Lin Yuan has any movie types you want to try, you can tell us anytime, and we will help you contact the screenwriter to see if there are any good books."

"Then please trouble Vice President Li." Lin Yuan got up again to toast.

Seeing that Lin Yuan reached a verbal agreement with Li Xiaoping, vice president of Guangguang Media, the big stone in the hearts of Sister Xia and President Li finally fell down.

After talking about the business, everyone ate, drank and chatted as they wanted.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when the wine table was over.

After sending away the vice president of Guangguang Media, sister Xia also pulled Lin Yuan and said a lot of words in an excited tone.

As for what was said, Lin Yuan couldn't hear it very clearly, and it was almost like words like suffering and reward.

This made Lin Yuan feel a little bit emotional.

I still remember when I first debuted as a newcomer, I followed Sister Xia to various crews to audition. At that time, the crew was willing to let Lin Yuan act, basically because of the face of Sister Xia, the agent. Looking at the manager's face will also give you proper respect, but if the manager is a grandson, it's not clear what Lin Yuan can do now.

However, two years have passed, and Sister Xia is quite well-known in the circle of managers, but when others mention her name, the first thing that comes to mind is her artist, Lin Yuan.

The winner of the Golden Goblet Award can be regarded as a stepping stone, allowing him to join the ranks of top actors, but now that he has won the Golden Horse Award and become the youngest double actor in China, he has truly stood on the cusp of the entertainment industry. No wonder actors and celebrities want to be famous. Once famous, opportunities will come to them.

In the next three days, apart from recording two variety shows, Lin Yuan's affairs were basically dealt with.

After resting in the apartment for a day, I bought a plane ticket for the next day and flew to Yakushima.

Knowing that Lin Yuan had returned to the film crew, Huang Bo also gave the whole crew of "A Good Show" a vacation, and greeted Lin Yuan at the airport with a banner, which attracted passers-by to look back frequently, thinking that some important person came here for tourism up.

In the evening, the production crew gave Lin Yuan a clean-up and celebrated when he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor.

Lin Yuan also specifically mentioned to Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang about Enlight Media's investment in making movies for him.

After hearing this, Huang Bo also blurted out directly: "This is a good thing, the three of us now each have a movie, and whoever has the lowest box office will treat guests to dinner."

"Okay, okay, if I add one more, the films with few awards will also have to treat guests to dinner." Wang Baoqiang quickly added.

How much does it cost them to eat?It's the atmosphere that matters.

It's fun to compete with each other in this way!

If nothing else happens, the films directed and acted by the three of them will all be released next year, and it will be obvious at a glance who directs the film with better results.

Lin Yuan glanced at the two of them, and said helplessly, "That's not a problem. But I haven't decided what kind of movie to make yet."

These words made Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang feel a little bit difficult for a while.

It's really hard to recommend things like this. After all, if you don't choose the right movie theme, you will have a certain disadvantage in terms of box office and movie reputation.

They didn't dare to give Lin Yuan any suggestions casually.

After thinking for a while, Huang Bo tentatively said: "Why don't you make comedies like us?"

Comedy has always been the mainstay of the film market, and it is also the type of film that is the easiest to create box office records. "Lost in Thailand" and "Charlotte Annoyance" that set box office records before are both excellent works in comedy films.

Besides, Lin Yuan has also acted in several comedy movies. He has never eaten pork, but he has seen pigs run away, right?

Wang Baoqiang nodded again and again, agreeing to Huang Bo's proposal.

"A comedy?" Lin Yuan couldn't help thinking.

He has indeed appeared in many comedies, such as "Charlotte Annoyance", "Tang Detective", "Mermaid", and "Kung Fu Yoga" are all comedies, and the box office will not be too low.

Looking at it this way, shooting comedy films is indeed a good direction.

But Lin Yuan's ambition is not just as simple as the box office.
Seeing Lin Yuan frowning in deep thought, Huang Bo also patted Lin Yuan's shoulder, and said, "It's still early, maybe you have a flash of inspiration behind you, and you may come up with a good idea, and you may write a notebook yourself."

"That's right, let it take its course, and don't think so much."

Lin Yuan didn't think about it any more. He couldn't decide on this in a short while. Even if he wanted to make a comedy, it would be useless if he didn't have a suitable script in the end.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan put this matter aside for the time being.

During the ten days when Lin Yuan returned to Shanghai, the filming progress of the crew was quite satisfactory, and basically all the early scenes had been filmed.

The days when Lin Yuan wanted to sit in front of the monitor and be lazy are basically gone forever.

Huang Bo also specially arranged two consecutive scenes for Lin Yuan, saying that it was to find his status, but in fact it was to give the other leading actors a holiday.

The two days of scenes were basically just one or two shots. With Lin Yuan's acting skills, he did not disappoint everyone's expectations.

Time flies, more than ten days passed quickly.

It has been a month since the crew came to Yakushima, and they clocked in on time every day to shoot on the set, and the days are pretty regular.

According to the producer's estimate, it will take about two more months to shoot at this rate, and it will basically be completed.

After learning that there are still so many scenes that have not been filmed, the entire crew of "A Good Show" also devoted themselves to the filming.

During this period, Lin Yuan received a call from Teacher Li Xuejian.

He was a little puzzled, as the Big Dipper in the film and television industry, how could Teacher Li Xuejian suddenly think of calling him.

But he got on the phone quickly.

Due to the damaged vocal cords, Teacher Li Xuejian seemed to be struggling to speak. After saying hello to Lin Yuan, he directly explained why he came: "Lin Yuan, I would like to invite you to be the instructor of this Beijing Film Academy training class. , to teach those actors a lesson."

Lin Yuan is no stranger to the Beijing Film Academy training class.

He had participated in the three-day training class of Beijing Film Academy in the first place, and because of his good performance in the assessment, the relationship between him and these old actors has also been brought closer.

As for why Teacher Li Xuejian invited him, Lin Yuan was not surprised at all.

After all, Teacher Li Xuejian is still the chairman of the Film Association this year, and the instructors of the Beijing Film Training Class are basically members of the Film Association.

It's just that Teacher Li Xuejian invited him, which somewhat flattered him.

You must know that his age is not much different from those students. Some students may be older than him, and they go to teach others how to act. He has this ability, but will they be convinced?
Just when Lin Yuan was hesitating whether to agree or not.

Teacher Li Xuejian's voice came from the phone again: "Lin Yuan, you are among the young actors of the new generation with the best acting skills. When the time comes for us old bones to retire, we will have to rely on you to take the lead."

Teacher Li Xuejian almost made it clear that he intended to cultivate him.

Everyone has said that, so Lin Yuan naturally has no reason to refuse. Besides, participating in this kind of thing more will be of great help to his network expansion in the Film Association.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan immediately agreed.

"Okay, then Mr. Li Xuejian, please tell me the time, and I will come over on time."
