This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 538 Am I the master controller again?

Ding Chunling really didn't want Lin Xing to take on "Hot Streets". She felt that taking on this script was a completely thankless task.

What’s more important is that Lin Xing not only accepted the script, he also wanted to invest in it.

This film "Death on Earth" has actually almost consumed all the funds. If it weren't for Xin Hui's investment, the capital chain would have been broken long ago.

This is also the reason why Ding Chunling felt that Lin Xing should not send out nearly 3000 million red envelopes.

Of course, just post it, and it can be considered as publicity.

But no one expected that Lin Xing would take on such a controversial drama as "Hot Street".

This is really totally incomprehensible.

Why does Lin Xing always take such risks?
Can't we just pick up the money easily?
But Ding Chunling understood that this was the reason for Lin Xing's success. Just like Sister Dao said, when you are Lin Xing's agent, you don't have to think about controlling him. You just need to help him solve some tedious matters so that he has no worries.

Because of this, when Ding Chunling knew what Lin Xing was going to do, she wanted to help Lin Xing solve his worries.

“I really don’t know how to guarantee this…”

Wei Lu smiled bitterly at Ding Chunling and said, "But I believe Lin Xing understands me, otherwise he wouldn't accept this script. And if you can reach an agreement with Song Ying today, your people will be the producers. Then you will have the final say over the entire show. If I really want to make changes, I'll have to get your consent..."

"Director Wei, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant."

Ding Chunling was waiting for Wei Lu to say this, but she couldn't say it, so she smiled and said, "Actually, I don't agree to take on "Hot Street", but Lin Xing really insisted on taking it. Don't you know that our funds are also very difficult now..."

For the agent, his main role is to be responsible for negotiations and to strive for the greatest rights for the artist. At the same time, he also plays the good guy and leaves all the good things to the artist.

So you can see that most of the time agents are the ones who get scolded the most.

In short, for Ding Chunling, she must take everything into consideration, and she does not want to follow Yuan Yu's footsteps.

You have to know that if Wei Lu can revise the script once, then she can definitely revise it a second time.

So Ding Chunling had to take Lin Xing into consideration in everything.

Isn't that what her agent does anyway?

But in fact, Ding Chunling was overthinking it a bit. The current Wei Lu has indeed discovered that times have changed. The directors in the past could be said to be tyrants, so anything could be done.

But things are different now.

Actors nowadays won’t let directors do what they want.

The incident involving Yuan Yu had a big impact on Wei Lu. Wei Lu understood that times have changed now, and if "Hot Street" could be successfully restarted again this time, Wei Lu was willing to make concessions, but on the premise that it would not affect the crew.

After all, for Wei Lu, she can make concessions, but she will never sacrifice quality.

And coincidentally, Lin Xing is not such a person either.

This is also the reason why Lin Xing was willing to do it after watching "Hot Street", because Lin Xing really thought the script was really good.

At noon, Lin Xing, Wei Lu, Song Ying and Ding Chunling had a meal together.

Currently, there are three major investors in "Hot Streets". Skyline Film and Television has withdrawn, and the remaining two are a small film and television company and Song Ying.

And that small film and television company has no decision-making power, and that is why Song Ying is actually the one who can make the decision.

"Lin Xing, I'll just say it straight."

Song Ying said directly at this time: "As long as you are willing to invest, there is nothing I cannot be dissatisfied with. I just hope that "Hot Street" can start filming smoothly..."

Lin Xing nodded gently: "Okay, then you can talk to my agent Sister Ling about the follow-up. Anyway, we still signed a contract to do everything, so there won't be any disputes later."

"no problem."

Song Ying suddenly said at this time: "Wei Lu, you and Ding Chunling go out first, I have something to talk to Lin Xing in private."

Although Wei Lu was a little confused, she still stood up. Then Ding Chunling glanced at Lin Xing and left.

Just like that, Song Ying and Lin Xing were the only ones left in the room.

"Mr. Song, if you have anything to say, just tell me. We can discuss anything."

Lin Xing didn't understand what was going on with Song Ying, but he still spoke directly.

In Lin Xing's opinion, if it was because of the investment issue of "Hot Street", then just do it directly.

Wei Lu said yesterday that in fact, Yuan Yu withdrew more than 2000 million yuan, because it also included Yuan Yu’s 2000 million yuan film salary.

That means 4000 million.

At present, Song Ying has invested nearly 8000 million yuan in this "Hot Street", which is not a small amount.

After all, "Hot Street" was a big production, but now many scenes need to be re-shot.

For Song Ying, she initially thought that this play should be a sure win, after all, Wei Luke had never lost money.

But now she is a little tired.

"Lin Xing, I know you are very optimistic about this script, so can you take my investment share?"

Song Ying asked directly at this time.

Lin Xing was slightly stunned: "You mean you are also going to withdraw your investment?"

"Yes, my business is having some problems now, and some of my properties cannot be converted into cash immediately. I need cash..."

Song Ying was too embarrassed to say that she no longer wanted to make money. She just wanted to get the money back as soon as possible. But it was too difficult.

After all, 8000 million is not a small sum, and who would be willing to take over such a mess as "Hot Street"? ?
For this reason, Lin Xing smiled bitterly after hearing Song Ying's words and said, "Boss Song, you know that my capital chain is about to break at any time. Death on Earth is burning money every day. So far, several hundred million has been burned..."

Song Ying knew this. People in the industry all thought that Lin Xing was crazy.

Of course, Song Ying also thought that Lin Xing was crazy. After all, if you weren't crazy, how could you accept "Hot Street"? ?
Now Song Ying really feels that there is no hope for "Hot Street". She knows Wei Lu well, and she feels that Wei Lu has lost much energy.

In such a situation, Song Ying really wanted to withdraw.

But she and Wei Lu are best friends after all, and she was the one who wanted to invest in Wei Lu in the first place, so how could she just leave now? ?

For this reason, Song Ying could only talk to Lin Xing in private.

She could understand that Lin Xing didn't want to take his share. After all, who would be willing to invest so much? ? ?
Thinking of this, Song Ying gritted her teeth and said, "Lin Xing, if you really want to take it, I can give you a 7% discount..."

7% off? ?

This made Lin Xing a little puzzled. You know, even if Song Ying really needed money, there was no need to be like this.

So Lin Xing said in confusion: "Mr. Song, I think this movie will not lose money even though it's hard to say how well it will do at the box office. Why are you so anxious?"

Song Ying thought to herself, how can I believe it now?
But since it was just her and Lin Xing, she was ready to stop pretending. Song Ying said directly: "Lin Xing, I feel too tired. Investing in this movie is really not a human thing. I don't know what will happen in the future. If you really think highly of this movie, then you can take my share..."

"Row."

Lin Xing thought for a while and said, "But Mr. Song, you have to give me some time, because I really have no money now, I have to find a way to borrow some money..."

"no problem."

When Song Ying heard this, she said happily, "I can wait."

Just like that, after the two of them finished talking, Lin Xing was going to tell Ding Chunling about this matter, and Song Ying was also going to tell Wei Lu about the situation.

"Song Ying, as long as the filming can be restarted, we will try our best to speed up the shooting schedule. Don't worry, this movie will definitely not make you lose money..."

Wei Lu also let out a long sigh and said.

You have to know that Wei Lu is under a lot of pressure. She is a very sentimental person and is not afraid of anything else. She just feels sorry for Song Ying.

Because of this, Wei Lu really wanted to get this matter done as soon as possible, at least to get the investment done so that the crew could start filming normally.

Song Ying looked a little embarrassed at this time, but she still said: "Thank you, Wei Lu. Actually, I just talked to Lin Xing. He is optimistic about our movie. I believe that with his participation, our movie will definitely not fail."

"Well, I think so too."

Wei Lu smiled and said: "By the way, what were you talking about with Lin Xing just now?"

"This one……"

Song Ying said with some hesitation: "Wei Lu, you also know that I am not suitable to be a producer."

"I know. I've already told Lin Xing that he will send a responsible producer. You just need to stay in the crew and watch over it."

Wei Lu nodded gently and said.

"The main reason is that I didn't expect that investing in a movie would be so difficult, so I plan to withdraw my investment next. Wei Lu, please listen to me first. I won't just withdraw and ignore it. I have talked to Lin Xing, and he will take over next..."

Song Ying quickly said to Wei Lu.

Wei Lu was a little bit unbelievable: "Lin Xing agreed?"

"Well, I asked Lin Xing to take my share at a 7% discount."

Song Ying said: "Lin Xing said to give him some time."

Wei Lu said somewhat disappointedly: "Song Ying, do you have so little confidence in my movie?"

"No, no, Wei Lu, please don't get me wrong, I just really don't want to be so tired."

Song Ying said quickly at this time.

At this time, to be honest, Wei Lu was really disappointed and also a little embarrassed.

Because this seemed like a trap for Lin Xing.

As for Ding Chunling, she was even more furious after hearing what Lin Xing said: "Ah Xing, wake up, where do we have the money to continue collecting shares? The investment in this movie will definitely not be less than 2 million, and the explosions are all money, where do we get the money?"

"I'll discuss this with Xin Hui."

Lin Xing thought for a while and said.

"Ah Xing, I know Xin Hui is rich, but he can't let you do everything for him. And even if they have a good relationship, you can't spend money like this."

Ding Chunling advised earnestly: "I really don't think this "Hot Street" is good. In this film and television industry, if there is a failure, there will be no remake. I know you are optimistic about the script, but the script and the finished filming are two different things. You have filmed so many dramas, don't you know this?"

"I know, but didn't Deathstroke also stop working?"

Lin Xing shook his head and said.

Ding Chunling was somewhat speechless: "Can this be the same?"
