China Entertainment: I am a big boss in the industry

Chapter 848: No fear at all.

Wei Lianlian’s words made Lin Gao frown.

Although he always had room in his budget, he didn't expect that funding problems would arise so quickly.

“How much was the overspending?”

Lin Gao asked, a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

Wei Lianlian looked through the documents in his hand and quickly replied, "About 15% overspending."

"It's mainly because the scene is complex and we have high requirements for details."

“Plus, as the actors’ costumes and props become more sophisticated, the costs also increase.”

Lin Gao pondered for a while.

He knew that the production of this film could not be compromised.

The precise restoration of every detail is for the ultimate quality.

"I will find a way to solve the overspending."

"We can't lower our standards because of funding issues."

"Go contact the Finance Department and ask them to produce a detailed expense report. I need to know the specific flow of funds."

Wei nodded repeatedly and then stood up to carry out the instructions.

Lin Gao sat on the chair, thinking about the solution.

Although the funding issue will not bring the entire project to a standstill, it must be resolved as soon as possible.

While he was thinking, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Lin Gao picked up the phone and saw that it was an old friend calling.

A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone: "Lin Gao, I heard that you are currently filming a historical film. Are you a little short of funds?"

Lin Gao was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"You are really well-informed."

“However, there was indeed some overspending.”

The other party chuckled.

"I happen to have a project here that may be helpful to you."

"If you are interested, we can cooperate."

Lin Gao raised his brows slightly.

He knew that this friend had always had good resources in the field of film and television investment.

"Tell me what the project is?"

The voice on the other end of the phone became serious.

"This is an international co-production project that involves the dissemination of Chinese culture."

“They were looking for a director with international experience to get involved.”

"You fit exactly what they need."

Lin Gao fell into deep thought.

He is no stranger to such projects.

International co-production means a bigger platform and a wider market, but it also means more coordination and compromise.

"sounds good."

"But I am now fully engaged in the filming of this movie, and I am afraid I cannot spare the energy to participate."

The other person smiled.

"I see."

"But the timeline for this project is relatively loose. They can wait until you finish shooting this movie before starting."

Lin Gao was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, I need to know more about the details."

"We can meet and discuss in detail."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Gao fell into deeper thought.

International cooperation projects are undoubtedly an opportunity to expand his international influence, but he also knows that this means more challenges.

It's not just cultural differences, but also the interests and demands of all parties.

However, funding remains the most pressing challenge.

Only by solving the funding problem can the smooth completion of this film be guaranteed.

The next day, Lin Gao met with Wei Lianlian to discuss the current progress.

“I contacted several potential investors.”

Wei Lianlian said, handing Lin Gao some documents.

"However, the conditions they proposed are a bit harsh."

"Some hope to interfere with the script, and even propose to change some character settings." Lin Gao took a look at the document and frowned even more tightly.

He knew the importance of funds to the film, but he was absolutely unwilling to sacrifice the integrity of the creation because of financial pressure.

"I will not accept these conditions."

His tone was firm.

"We can't let outsiders interfere with the content and creation of the film."

Wei nodded repeatedly.

"I think so too."

“But the issue of funding still needs to be resolved.”

Lin Gao was silent for a moment, his friend's suggestion last night coming to his mind.

He knew that perhaps this was the right time.

“Regarding that international cooperation project, I decided to accept it.”

“If we can participate, the funding problem may be solved.”

Wei Lianlian was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

“This is a very wise decision.”

"If we can successfully take on this project, not only will the funding problem be solved, but it will also bring more international attention to the film."

Lin Gao nodded.

“However, the details of the project still need further negotiation.”

"We want to make sure that this collaboration does not affect the films currently in progress."

Wei Lianlian immediately began to arrange contacts with international projects.

Lin Gao knew clearly that this international cooperation was not only to solve the current funding problem, but also for future planning.

If successful, his films would not only be a success in the domestic market but would also gain wider recognition on the international stage.

A few days later, Lingao had a formal meeting with representatives of the international project.

The project leader is an experienced producer who is full of interest and expectations for Lin Gao's film.

“We really appreciate your previous work.”

“Especially the Chinese cultural elements you incorporated into the film.”

“Through this collaboration, we hope to showcase more traditional Chinese stories through your perspective.”

Lin Gao smiled and nodded.

“I am very honored to be part of such a project.”

“However, I hope that in the collaboration we can maintain our creative freedom and independence.”

The other party smiled, obviously prepared for Lin Gao's request.

“We completely understand that.”

“We want you to bring the most authentic and powerful cultural expression possible.”

“Please rest assured that we will provide sufficient support to ensure the smooth progress of the project.”

The negotiations between the two parties went very smoothly and Lin Gao was full of confidence in this cooperation.

The funding problem was solved and the filming of the movie went smoothly.

A few months later, Lin Gao's historical film was officially completed.

Standing on the set, Lin Gao watched the last shot being completed, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

At this moment, he knew that his efforts were not in vain.

This film is not only a tribute to history, but also a new interpretation of Chinese culture.

After the filming was completed, Lin Gao and the team held a celebration banquet.

Everyone involved in the making of the film was in attendance.

Everyone's face was filled with joy and pride.

Lin Gao raised his glass and saluted everyone.

"The success of this film is inseparable from the efforts of everyone involved."

“No matter what the outcome is, I’m proud of you all.”

There was applause from the audience, and everyone admired Lingao's leadership and vision.

After the celebration banquet, Lin Gao walked out of the banquet hall and stood alone in the night.

He knew that this was just the end of a stage and new challenges were waiting for him.

Post-production of the film is still underway and international cooperation projects are about to be launched.

But Lin Gao showed no fear.
