Chapter 1

August 23, 2016, Wuhang film building, Tianhai City, 10:05 am, front desk.

"Hello, I'm looking for the purchasing department of your company. Do you accept independent films?"

Li Yan raised her head and saw a young man who was more than 1.8 meters tall, ordinary in appearance, but with angular features. She asked with a polite smile and looked nervous. She quickly made a judgment. She was an honest man.

Which crew should it be? After thinking about it, her beautiful face still showed a formulaic smile and asked, "do you have an appointment, sir?"

"No, I came directly." Lin tired pursed his lips and replied.

"Just a moment, I'll ask." Li Yan politely smile, and then make a phone call, a moment later she put down the phone, smile and said: "please come with me."

Lin tired nodded, tightened the strap of his black backpack, followed Li Yan's steps, took the elevator to the fifth floor, turned right, and entered an office area. Everyone was busy and didn't care about Lin tired's arrival. After a few steps, a man with short hair, upright back and good appearance came over, He took the lead in holding out his hand and said, "Hello, I'm from the film Purchasing Department of the five party company. My name is Fang Mu. May I have your name, sir?"

"My family name is Lin. just call me Lin tired." Lin tired also stretched out his hand, some not adapted with square wood grip.

"Let's go to the conference room." Fang Mu proposed, and Lin tired nodded. He couldn't help feeling good about this five party company. How good the service attitude is, it must be a good company.

After a while, they came to a small conference room. Fang Mu poured a glass of water for Lin tired. Then they sat down and said with a warm smile, "Mr. Lin, do you have a movie to sell to us?"

Lin tired nodded and said, "well, it's not selling, it's issuing."

"Distribution is also OK. Our company has released many blockbuster films, such as poison thorn, deep sea monster and invisible. Among them, the box office of deep sea monster is more than one billion. Our company's distribution system is very perfect and the charging proportion is relatively low. If you consider selling copyright, we will also give a reasonable price." Fang Mu enthusiastically said that it's rare to have one who comes to his own house. In the past, it was all the people who bought the film department who inquired about the films they had made. Then they went to buy them and talked about the terms. They had to compete with each other. Now this situation is tantamount to sending meat to the door. So be enthusiastic.

"But we also need to evaluate the quality of the film. If it's normal, we can only distribute it to you on the network cinema." Fang Mu said with a smile.

Lin nodded to understand that the film and television industry is quite developed now. It's no better than before. Now there are two distribution systems in China. The evaluation is average. Films that can't get on the cinema will go to the online cinema for paid viewing. After the release period, if the box office performance is good, the video website will buy and put them into VIP or play them for free, If it's not good... Of course, I won't buy your copyright.

More excellent movies will be recommended to enter theaters to fight at the box office. Compared with online theaters, the competition of physical theaters is fierce.

"Let's get to the point. Mr. Lin, what kind of movie do you have? How much is the investment? Who is the leading actor? Do the director and other people behind the scenes have any famous people? Are you the producer of the film? Do you own the full copyright of the film? " Fang Mu took the pen and the book and prepared to record.

Lin tired put his hands on the table, holding the teacup, said: "I am the director of this film, all the copyright of the film is in my hands, this is a horror film, the leading role is also me, investment..."

Lin tired thought for a while and said, "about ten thousand yuan."

The total cost of shooting in these three months is about 10000 yuan, isn't it?

Square wood hand holding pen and paper movement suddenly stopped, lift an eye to look at Lin tired so, facial expression very clear expression a meaning.

Are you kidding me?

"Words of the people behind the scenes..."

"Wait, Mr. Lin." Fang Mu politely interrupted Lin tired's words and asked with a smile: "you just said that the investment of this film is only 10000 yuan?"

"Well, yes." Lin tired nodded, as if to say a very natural thing, but the sense of absurdity brought to others was destroying others' three outlooks.

God is so calm.

Fang Mu's mouth involuntarily pulled up and put down his pen. Feeling ridiculous, he asked, "how can I make a movie for 10000 yuan? The camera costs tens of thousands. "

"I took it on my cell phone." Lin tired looked at him and said, in fact, he understood people's feelings, but what happened to ten thousand yuan? What's wrong with the cellphone? In fact, the core of the art of film is to tell stories on the screen. Nowadays, the pixels of mobile phones are still not up to the level they were a few decades ago. Why can't they be shot? Invest hundreds of millions to make a good movie?

Is his story good enough? For this film, he is confident.

"Ha..." Fang Mu felt ridiculous smile, and then he quickly put out his hand to cover, apologized: "sorry, Mr. Lin, I can't help it, you just said you were shooting with a mobile phone, right?"

Lin tired pursed his lips and nodded: "yes."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, but I don't think we can reach a cooperation. Mobile movies have never appeared in the market, and our company doesn't have such cooperation business. I'm sorry." Fang Mu got up, shook his head and held out his hand with a smile.

Lin tired looked at his hand, stood up silently, stretched out his hand, and said, "sorry, Mr. Lin, I have something else to do. Please help me."

With that, Fang Mu picked up his pen and turned around with the book to go out. Lin tired was looking at Fang Mu all the time. When he was about to go out, he suddenly asked, "Mr. Fang, do you want to see my movie?"

Fang Mu turned around and said with a smile, "no, Mr. Lin, my time is very precious. There are other things to deal with. If there are no other things, you can leave. If you don't leave, I'll call the security guard."

Lin tired nodded silently, wiped his hands on his clothes, bowed his head and said, "remember its name."

"What?"

Lin tired didn't say anything more. He took up his backpack and went out of the door. Fang Mu looked at his back and laughed in silence. He was angry with me?

Out of the door, Lin tired to cast over the eyes suddenly did not feel, walked a few steps, he heard someone asking: "how? Why did you come out so soon? No deal? "

"What's not settled? He came to the door with a film taken by a mobile phone and said that the total investment was only 10000 yuan, which is really..." Fang Mu said with a smile. He turned his head and glanced at Lin tired's back. He didn't know why. His eyes looked at the back. The irony in his eyes gradually weakened, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

Why... Is he so calm?

"There's really everybody now."

"Yes, it's wonderful. I'm crazy about money."
