Entertainment: Stepmother’s daughter is actually a future queen

Chapter 241: Encounter in the cemetery, project establishment!

This unexpected interruption made everyone in the conference room feel a little choked.

"Um." Zhao Xin pushed up her glasses, glanced at Lin Yu up and down, and asked with some uncertainty, "Are you going to bear all the costs yourself?"

"Yes." Lin Yu nodded calmly.

"Um." Zhao Xin paused again, then continued to become a little more incompetent, "This cost is very high... If a big movie fails, all the money will be lost."

"Well, I'm not saying that you can't come up with the money." Zhao Xin paused and said, "I know that your Ghost Series has also made a lot of money. What I mean is that we can do it step by step at the beginning. .”

Zhao Xin twirled her fingers and said, "This kind of risk is relatively small. If this happens, right? We will lose all the money we made before."

"It's not necessary. I personally recommend starting with half capital or having the platform invest for you. Once you have experience, you can do it independently step by step."

Zhao Xinle smiled and said, "I also know that you have made a lot of money now, and the director's fee alone is no longer affordable."

"But, this major movie is indeed different from the Internet major. Its investment is huge. Normal individuals cannot afford it and cannot afford to lose money."

"In addition, the upper limit of Internet majors is also low. You can now make a fortune by relying on Guanying's IP, but that doesn't mean you can always do this, right?"

Zhao Xin said with a smile, "My personal suggestion is this. If you come up, you should be fully invested first. The risk is too great."

"Mr. Zhao, I've already thought about it."

"Uh." Zhao Xin was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Yu up and down, and couldn't help but scratch his hair.

"Ah Yu." Liu Hui paused and couldn't help but persuade him, "It's not necessary. You don't just write this one script. There will be many opportunities in the future."

"I've really thought about it." Lin Yu remained calm.

Zhao Xin looked at Lin Yu up and down again, picked up the teacup next to her, took a sip, "Okay then."

"Ah Yu, what I just said is really for your own good. I have seen many new and ambitious directors like you before. For example, the year before last, there was a director who was the head director of an Internet university. The director who has made four blockbuster movies in a row wants to join the big movies."

"He is also..., it is still half-financed, that is, he took half of the investment given to him by Xinghui and contributed half of it himself. He wanted to make a serious profit. After planning for more than a year, the film he produced had a box office of 2000 million. "

"It's a huge loss. I also lost the money I made on the Internet. I made two movies and lost more than 1000 million. Hey."

"In short, this is what I advise. After all, big movies are different from online movies. Big movies have very high quality requirements for movies, and the competitive pressure is not the same."

"I hope you will be cautious when investing in such a big thing." Zhao Xin paused and said, "This is how full investment is, that is, you only use our channels, and we only take [-]% of your fees, and the rest It’s all yours.”

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Zhao." Lin Yu nodded, "I understand. This is the script. I hope you can help me submit it for review, and then I will prepare the project."

"I'll discuss it with you when the filming begins." Lin Yu put the script he had prepared on the table.

"Ayu." Liu Hui said, "After all, it's not a small sum of money that I can't afford to lose. I'm optimistic about your directorial talent, but making a movie is like investing. There's no need to invest too much in one go, but start with a little bit. Come on, you are still young and we have plenty of time."

"Okay, let's put the script aside for now. We'll help you submit it for review and check it for you. We'll discuss it with you later."

"As for you, think about it carefully when you go back and talk to your parents. Don't be too hasty."

"I see."

"This is a rare occasion. Ah Yu is not in a hurry to leave and come to visit our company." Zhao Xin stood up and said cheerfully, "Come and see the environment we agree on. What is the management of directors like you at Huace?" It’s very relaxed, you have a separate office but you don’t need to come to work every day.”

"As a director... you are not allowed to go out often to look for inspiration, right?"

"Besides, it's lively when there are more people. It's not good for one person to do it alone and behind closed doors."

Zhao Xin led the way and said with a smile.

Lin Yu nodded. It was hard to refuse this kind offer. Liu Hui also stood up, but she did not accompany Lin Yu to visit the office building. Instead, she took the script and went to the writing team first.

This is something with an investment of tens of millions. It is impossible that everyone will not review it. You can just shoot it if you want, right?

Even if you are wholly-owned, you cannot take such a big risk.

Walking out of the conference room, Huace is one of the top three most powerful film and television companies in Qinzhou. The upper and lower floors of the entire office building are all owned by Huace. There are more than 300 employees in this office building alone.

Zhao Xin clasped her hands behind her back and personally led Lin Yu around the office building.

"Our Huace is roughly divided into the film production department, the artist department and the operations department. Here, it is an independent film production department. Counting an additional online department that has been established now, several other departments are not here with us. They have independent departments. Office building.”

"This area is the film production team you see. There are nine teams in total. Each team has a person in charge. There are about five to seven directors under their names. Miss Liu Hui just now is the person in charge of the fourth team. "

"She is currently mainly responsible for the IP of your novel Faqiu Ren, and the box office is still very objective."

"Currently, there is a movie released on a major movie, with a box office of 8000 million yuan. After deducting the publicity and distribution costs, the profit is still about [-] million yuan, which is very considerable. Then there is a movie released on the Internet, but the profit is not earned or lost. "

"You took over the Internet King of the first Chasing Storm Project again." Zhao Xin laughed awkwardly, then scratched his scalp, "But the next project is already being approved."

As Zhao Xin was talking, many people in the office looked over and saw Huace's vice president of the film and television department personally leading an outrageously young boy to visit the company. These middle-aged men and women, with their faces Everyone couldn't help but have a flash of curiosity.

"Who is that boy, who can actually let the 'King of Hell' Zhao Xin accompany him?"

"So young...is the landlord's son sent from above?"

"Don't look around and work hard!"

"..."

"We at Huace will not deprive you of your freedom..., you are still a student, right?"

"Ah, yes, sophomore year."

"You don't have to go to work. We can give you a basic salary of 1.5, and the assessment is very loose. You can write one script a year and make a movie every two years. But the requirement of the movie is no profit or loss. You can write the script yourself. You can write it, or you can work with a screenwriter to polish it out."

"Look, isn't this great? We Huace don't actually interfere with whatever you want to do."

This Zhao Xin is nakedly wooed, there is no way, the current king of Internet kings, the developer of Ghost IP, the author of Faqiu Ren IP, the most important thing is that he is only 19 years old, still too young!

This kind of genius has unlimited possibilities. If you don't support it yourself, how can you let others support it? ?

From now on, if there is only one small hit movie, it will be a profit! "Vice President Zhao." Lin Yu knew that Zhao Xin wanted to win over him, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then said seriously, "I really have no plans to join any company now."

"I'm still a student and I just plan to study hard."

Zhao Xin showed a hint of disappointment, and he didn't know if he was deliberately showing this "regret" to himself, "Ah Yu, then you should think about it carefully. If you have the idea of ​​joining the company, no matter which company recruits you, please give it priority. Us."

"After all, we are your partners, right?"

Zhao Xin shook hands with Lin Yu and said, "Our Huace door is open to you at any time, and whatever conditions others offer, we Huace will definitely give it, and we can also be excellent."

"We are all mainlanders, Qinzhou people, not those losers in Xiangjiang who just want to plot against you all day long." Zhao Xin patted Lin Yu on the shoulder, "The company is our home, we can only cooperate to benefit both sides." ', there are no rules, that is the biggest rule of our Huace!"

"Looking across the country, there is no one who is more tolerant of geeks than our Huace!"

"Mr. Zhao, I'm going back." After shaking hands with Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin turned around and immediately signaled, "Xiao Su, give Lin Yu a favor."

Zhao Xin turned around and called out a secretary with fair skin, good looks and slender legs. Su Juan smiled sweetly at Lin Yu. She was very professional and generous. She was older than Lin Yu. Now He stretched out his hand and said, "Teacher Lin, please."

Su Juan accompanied Lin Yu all the way downstairs and out of Huace's gate. He even took a taxi for Lin Yu before going back.

Sitting in the taxi, as the car drove downstairs of Huace, Lin Yu couldn't help but let out a breath, joining the company?It is impossible to work for others.

Huace seems to be friendly to me, but in fact it just takes a fancy to my ability and the possibility that I can make money for Huace.

Of course this is understandable.

But there is no need to be deceived by this so-called "favor".

"People still have to make their own capital."

Sitting in the back seat of the taxi, Lin Yu was thinking silently.

. . .

"How about it?"

After walking out of the screenwriting department, Liu Hui met Zhao Xin, who shrugged.

"You still don't want to, right?" Liu Hui shook his head, "You will know after just one look. This kind of person is used to being free and loose. How can he be so easily restrained and so ambitious?"

Liu Hui commented lightly.

"I just want to run before I learn how to walk." Zhao Xin sneered, found a stool and sat down, "I got a popular IP at Internet University, I don't know what my last name is, and I got a full investment, tens of millions ...I made some money and it went away.”

"This kind of person will suffer a big loss sooner or later. After suffering a big loss, he will calm down."

"Young people are all like this." Liu Hui said casually, "If he thinks about it when he goes back, he may not be able to part with his own money."

"Xiao Liu." Zhao Xin suddenly raised her head and changed the topic, "I made an appointment at a restaurant tonight, are you free?"

Liu Hui frowned and took a deep breath, "Mr. Zhao, I don't have time."

After saying that, Liu Hui turned around and left, with Zhao Xin looking awkward behind him.

. . .

The movie "Encounter in the Graveyard" tells the story of a group of young people at a certain film university who have a fanatical love for the movie "Encounter in the Graveyard". In order to follow the behind-the-scenes story of this movie, they supported the filming of a horror movie as classic as this movie. .

Then, based on the information left by a user on the forum, they tried to trace the story behind the filming of the film, but were surprised to find that the other party was filming a true story, a documentary.

The entire crew had long since died in that disaster.

So, the hero and heroine, the photographer and others drove to the mental hospital where the movie was set. .

How do you tell this story? It sounds like there are some nesting dolls.A group of people who made a "horror movie" that was actually a real-life documentary crew died.

Another group of people went to record this and also died.

It is equivalent to taking the theme of "I am a documentary" into full play.

Therefore, "Encounter in the Graveyard" is an enlarged version of the true ghost story, with a more complete story, characters, scenes, and more complex horror scenes.

However, it has also lost some of the corresponding characteristics of ghost recordings.

After that, whether Lin Yu is considering Ghost 4 or 5, I am afraid that they will not reach the level of Graveyard Encounter.

It would definitely be enough to put it on the big screen.

If you asked Lin Yu to make an evaluation on this story and this big movie, what would you say? ...It's interesting enough, but it can't be said to be very high.

For example, it is also "Manslaughter". The Peacock Kingdom's "Manslaughter" is completely different from the domestic remake of "Manslaughter".

This is not to brag about others or belittle oneself. The story of Peacock Kingdom's hidden manslaughter can be seen as a collection of "great satire of real problems", with a critical tone of realism.

As for the remake of the movie, it only retains the restless side of the little character, the battle of wits and courage, and the critical spirit behind it is definitely not mentioned at all.

So from the perspective of box office, they may be comparable, but as time goes by, the level of classics will definitely not be the same.

The Other Side must be one of the country's future classic films, while domestic remakes are destined to be just temporary novelties.

Encounter in the Graveyard is pretty much the same. It's not a high-end popcorn movie, so what?Are you saying that horror movies are not all popcorn movies?No, the zombie movie Please Call Me a Hero in Little Days takes a different approach, satirizing the confused social atmosphere of contemporary Little Days, with the 'zombie body language' of repeating one's own actions day after day.
Lin Yu is not yet at such a high level, so he shot "Encounter in the Cemetery" simply because he gained experience in filming ghost records. It was a perfect trial and error method.

Back at school, Lin Yu called Guo Hao and Zhou Ye to study the script together in the dormitory.

"Cemetery Encounter."

"Our goal this year is to film this first and then release it. Let's get a feel for it and get a feel for the process. Everyone can share their thoughts first."

In the dormitory, Lin Yu spread his hands.
