This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 403 Are you kidding?
Liang Yuan seemed a little excited after hearing Lin Xing's words: "Ah? Brother Xing, have you heard of me?"

Lin Xing smiled and said, "I first knew you because of your identity as a fisherman, but later you promoted "Bad Kids". Also, I usually like to read online novels, and I saw your name on the fan list of every online novel..."

At present, all online writers regard Liang Yuan as their sponsor. It is true that 100 yuan is considered a lot for other people to reward them for reading their books, but Liang Yuan’s reward is at least 1000 yuan, and many even exceed yuan.

Just as Liang Yuan said before, the tens of thousands of dollars I make in rewards a year is not as much as I earn from playing games.

Having money means you can do whatever you want.

What's more, Liang Yuan's parents are quite content. As long as they don't start a business, they can spend money however they want.

Be it fishing, rewarding online articles, or even traveling around the world, you won't be afraid of going bankrupt if you do this.

Only startups go bankrupt.

Just look at Xin Hui and you will know, when he gets crazy, a few small goals are not enough.

On the contrary, Liang Yuan's parents were really pleased that their son was not doing his job properly.

What no one expected was that Xin Hui was suddenly led by Lin Xing. The game "Hidden Lurker" was truly a phenomenal game.

As for the movie "Killing Ading", Xin Hui's investment was also a small investment for a big return, and everyone even thinks that Xin Hui is so fucking awesome.

Of course, if it were at that time, I'm afraid no one would be willing to invest in "Killing Ading".

Just as Xin Hui said in the interview, I invested in "Killing Ading" not because of how good the movie is, but just because of Lin Xing.

Blindly believing in Lin Xing might become a joke, but judging from Xin Hui's current situation, Xin Hui has become the object of everyone's envy and jealousy.

Even Liang Yuan's parents began to change their minds. Of course, they would not let Liang Yuan really start a business, but they thought that the Xin family was really lucky.

Even Liang Yuan's father sighed to Liang Yuan: "This is the benefit of hugging the thigh. As long as you can hug the thigh well, even a pig can fly."

Liang Yuan remembered this. He and Xin Hui were good friends. The better Xin Hui developed, the happier Liang Yuan would be. He was also a straightforward person.

When there is another investment, please let me know.

Xin Hui naturally agreed immediately and even expressed his willingness to meet with Lao Lin at that time.

As a result, Lin Xing is either filming a movie, shooting a TV series, attending an award ceremony, or doing a roadshow for a movie release.

Even when I was finally thinking of waiting for Lin Xing to have some free time, Lin Xing was thinking about going around.

This is really a coincidence.

"I was just thinking about introducing Lao Liang to you, but you called me, and why are you in Jiangcheng?"

Xin Hui asked in some surprise.

"Let me introduce you to Qi Ning, Brother Ning. He wrote a script called "Going to Heaven" which I thought was pretty good. He's still short of some funding..."

Before Lin Xing finished speaking, Liang Yuan beside him became excited: "It's easy to say if you are short of money, how many tens of millions do you need?"

"Oh, Lao Lin, I forgot to tell you that Liang Yuan is also thinking about investing in the film and television industry. He saw that my reputation has improved dramatically after following you, so he also wants to get in on the action..."

Xin Hui said with a smile: "So if possible, take Lao Liang with you."

"Liang Yuan, there is no such thing as a 100% sure profit from investment. The games I worked on with Xin Hui and the movies I invested in were all just luck. I..."

However, Lin Xing didn't really want to let Liang Yuan have too high expectations. Many times it is better to say some things in advance.

"Hey, Brother Xing, who do you take me for?"

Liang Yuan said hurriedly: "Of course I know that it is impossible to guarantee a 100% return on investment. I just want you to play with me. I know a little bit about the film and television industry. There are too many pitfalls. I really don't trust other people..."

"Lao Lin, don't worry, Lao Liang is not the kind of person who is not open and honest."

Xin Hui also spoke quickly at this time.

"Okay, then Brother Ning, go back and calculate the cost of this movie, and then Xin Hui and Liang Yuan will make up the difference..."

Lin Xing said: "You can discuss the details of my salary with my agent. It doesn't matter what kind of cooperation we have..."

Qi Ning was a little confused.

In fact, he has always been stuck on the investment and production of "Going to Heaven". Don't be fooled by his words, but in fact he only attracted a total investment of 2000 million.

This amount of money is not enough to hire top celebrities, but it is not enough for others.

Originally, Qi Ning wanted to invite Lin Xing to participate in the show, and then use Lin Xing's fame to invest.

Again, as long as Lin Xing can participate, then we can really attract investment.

Qi Ning did talk about this with Lin Xing on the way. He felt that Lin Xing was so sincere that he couldn't fool him. Qi Ning even thought that if Lin Xing could accept it, then Lin Xing could get the film salary + the share of the film company's profit.

You have to know that strictly speaking, "Going to Heaven" is an art film, and the upper limit of such art films is actually not very high.

Not everyone can make a movie like "Sunspots".

As a result, Lin Xing brought Qi Ning directly to meet Xin Hui and Liang Yuan.

Two financial sponsors.

This is just a direct question: Is one hundred million enough?
Liang Yuan even said: "This is my first time investing in a movie, you must not make do with it, we must make everything exquisite, and we must not save money, I don't have much other things, but I have a lot of money."

Xin Hui also said: "That's right."

Now Qi Ning finally felt the happiness that Diane had felt back then.

It’s so cool.

Qi Ning said directly: "Okay, I'll go back right away. Give me a week, and I'll calculate the production cost of the script in a week..."

"Not urgent."

Lin Xing laughed: "Let's take it step by step."

"Then I'll go back first. I won't drink this wine. You two can drink it..."

How could Qi Ning not be anxious?

He felt that his luck was really about to change. He never expected that his investment would be so successful.

After all, Qi Ning raised the 2000 million by selling all his houses, and some of the money came from people he hired with his connections, as well as some film and television companies that just invested a few hundred thousand for fun.

You have to know that many film and television companies cast a wide net, but they will never make a big investment and bet on it.

Not to mention anything else, you can tell why some movies require investment from dozens or even dozens of companies, big and small.

This is very normal.

For this reason, Qi Ning has been thinking about making the script more mature while investing as much as possible.

Can you make a movie with 2000 million?

can.

Can you make a movie with 2000 million without hiring popular artists? ?

Of course it can. But if you spend 2000 million to make a movie, it might just flop.

Nowadays, even an art film would not be good if the production cost is lower.

Don’t say that traffic artists are not good, but only by inviting traffic artists to play the leading roles can there be traffic.

How many movies didn't have enough traffic and ended up failing miserably.

For this reason, although Qi Ning is tired of traffic artists, he himself understands that this requires a kind of coordination.

Many times, being a director requires making some trade-offs.

Qi Ning wanted to invite Lin Xing from the beginning, because when he was writing the script of "Going to Heaven", he actually thought of Lin Xing as the protagonist.

But at that time, Lin Xing was far from famous in the film industry, and his movie "Killing Ading" had not even been released yet.

Let me put it this way, Qi Ning wanted to use Lin Xing because of "Sweeping Dark Waves" + "Bad Kids" + "Death Knell".

Because Qi Ning thinks Lin Xing is too versatile.

As a result, the box office of "Killing Ading" exceeded 20 million yuan, and the recent box office of "Sunspots" exceeded billion yuan. As a result, Lin Xing directly became a popular male god in art films.

That's status.

At this time, Qi Ning certainly had some hopelessness about inviting Lin Xing to star in "Going to Heaven".

But I didn't expect that Ren Yi introduced Lin Xing to the dinner party yesterday, and then Qi Ning heard Lin Xing's polite refusal and felt that the matter was over.

Suddenly, there was a sudden turn of events today.

After being in the entertainment industry for a long time, Qi Ning knew that accidents could happen, so of course he was anxious.

He now wanted to do everything possible to finish the script as quickly as possible and then arrange Lin Xing's schedule.

An hour later, Ding Chunling also called Lin Xing.

"Ah Xing, what's going on???"

Ding Chunling never expected that someone would suddenly come to discuss cooperation, and it would be an art film.

Is Lin Xing really going to stop making art films?
What’s more important is that Ding Chunling believes that Lin Xing cannot be demoted.

The director of "Sunspots" is Ning Ping, and Lin Xing's box office is also soaring now.

A movie that grossed over 20 billion yuan, and it's an art film, doesn't need any talk of great success. This is a phenomenal achievement.

Next, according to Ding Chunling's idea, Lin Xing should go to shoot commercial films directed by famous directors. At this time, Lin Xing needs to further expand his popularity.

Art films are a niche genre, and it is enough that Lin Xing has carved out a niche for himself in the niche art film industry.

Now who doesn’t say Lin Xing is a legend???
Two art films are enough.

If we make an art film at this time, what if it fails? ? ?
Needs transformation.

Moreover, let’s not talk about the more niche funeral industry in the script of “Going to Heaven”, don’t many people think that this industry is unlucky? ? ?
Most people don't like to watch tragedies, and even less like to watch separations and deaths.

In particular, the director and screenwriter of "Going to Heaven" turned out to be Qi Ning, a novice director.

No matter how you look at it, this seems unreliable.

That's exactly why Ding Chunling wanted to laugh when she heard the conditions offered by the other party.

And a share of the box office???
I'm afraid your movie won't even make 5000 million, so how much will you get then? ?

The film company can only get more than 1000 million at most. How much can Lin Xing get? ? ?

In short, Ding Chunling really felt that this was not reliable. That was why she said, "I'll think about it again," and then she called Lin Xing after hanging up the phone.

"Axing, I don't think this is the right thing to do now."

Ding Chunling expressed her thoughts: "Axing, given our current status, there is really no need for us to act in such a film..."

"Sister Ling, how did you become so powerful?"

Lin Xing was a little speechless and said, "I haven't even made it into the film industry yet, why do you suddenly make it sound like I have a very high status?"

Ding Chunling smiled bitterly and said, "Axing, I know you are modest, but our new movie has just broken 20 billion, and all the big directors are inviting us. What we need now is to go one step further..."

"Sister Ling, you also said that these big directors invited me because my new movie just broke 20 billion..."

Lin Xing shook his head slightly and said, "They just want my traffic or even want me to contribute to their works..."

For Lin Xing, he has actually read the scripts of those big directors, and it's hard to describe.

Lin Xing doesn't care whether he is the protagonist or the first role, but it is obvious that the script is relatively bad. How can Lin Xing act at this time? ? ?
What Lin Xing needs to do is to demystify the big directors. Many of these big directors have failed. They are still holding on to their previous bonuses and cannot listen to any opinions.

"Axing, I know some scripts may not be good, don't worry, you need to have a good rest, we can look for them slowly."

Ding Chunling still wanted to persuade Lin Xing: "But I really don't think Qi Ning's script is suitable."

Lin Xing nodded gently: "Okay, I have also told Qi Ning before that we can discuss the specific remuneration in detail. Currently, the largest producers of his film have become Xin Hui and Liang Yuan..."

"What??"

Ding Chunling suddenly realized: "Does this mean that this movie belongs to our company again???"

"You can say that, so don't talk about whether it's appropriate or not. This movie is now owned by our studio. I have something else to do so I won't say more for now..."

Lin Xing said a few words and hung up the phone.

He called Wei Fei again: "Sister Fei, are you busy?"

Wei Fei said: "I'm not busy. I'm in the window period now. Ah Xing, is there any good news???"

"Sister Fei, why don't you come to Jiangcheng?"

Lin Xing smiled and said, "I saw a script that I think is okay. I plan to ask Director Ning Ping to be the producer, but I think the job of producer is not for you..."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Wei Fei didn't even ask what the book was about. She just asked Lin Xing to send him a location.

That night, Wei Fei went to Jiangcheng alone.

"Sister Fei, there's no need to introduce Xin Hui since you already know him. This is Liang Yuan..."

Before Lin Xing finished speaking, Wei Fei grabbed Liang Yuan's hand and said, "Boss, I finally see you."

Lin Xing: "???"
