Chapter 581

"Ugly forest film company?"

Li Rengang sat in the car near the gate of Shanghai Film Group, didn't start the car, and was still waiting for Wang Lin's reply. While waiting for the reply, he was naturally curious about the ugly Lin film company mentioned in Wang Linkou. For him, this is a completely strange film company. Up to now, he is not sure what the name of the film company is.

However, it's easy to find out. Li Rengang dialed his assistant's number with his mobile phone and asked the assistant in the computer - have you ever heard of the ugly forest film company? A film company in Shanghai

"Ugly forest?"

There was also doubt in the assistant's voice. Seeing that he didn't know it, Li Rengang immediately ordered him to inquire about it. If you do, just report it to him.

When things were ordered, Li Rengang didn't wait too long. In more than ten minutes, the assistant called and told Li Rengang all the basic information of Chou Lin film company.

Li Rengang and his assistants are from Hong Kong. They are very strange to the Chou Lin film company that has just emerged in the mainland in recent years. However, it is not difficult to inquire about a local film company in Shanghai. Most people engaged in the film and television industry in Shanghai know that although this model is small, the film box office is always very good.

A small film company founded by an online writer and his book fans has made three films and a TV play. The two films that have been released are very good at the box office.

The online writer, whose pseudonym is Wen Chou, has recently become a new favorite of domestic media. It is said that this person is not only writing novels, investing in movies and TV dramas, but also making a small reputation in the real estate market.

In short, he is a typical self-made man.

At present, he is nearly 23 years old, but he already has a fortune of at least 70 million. This is only the fortune of the young man whose pen name is Wen Chou. Another investor of Chou Lin film company is a fan of Wen Chou. He was born in a local rich family in Shanghai, and his family business assets are hundreds of millions.

"The younger generation is terrible!"

After listening to the information the assistant told him on the phone, Li Rengang couldn't help sighing softly after hanging up. When he was 23, he didn't have such a fortune.

What made him feel a little strange was that the young man named Lu Yang's previous university was just an ordinary university in the mainland. It is reasonable to say that a young man has such talent. The score of the college entrance examination should be enough to enter a key university in the mainland. As far as he knows, there are many key universities in the mainland.

Such doubts only flashed in Li Rengang's mind. Of course, what he really cares about is not why Lu Yang didn't enter a key university in the mainland. For him, the news conveyed to him by the assistant means that the two young bosses of Chou Lin film company have the strength to participate in the investment of the play if they are really interested in his new play.

In the 21st century, there are fewer and fewer wholly-owned films. In Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland, it is normal for several companies to jointly invest in a film with an investment of hundreds of millions, because, first, not every company can easily spend hundreds of millions of funds to invest in a film. Second, although film is a profiteering industry, the box office uncertainty of each film is too great, If a blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions fails at the box office, if all the losses are on one company, it is likely to crush a company with good benefits in an instant. However, if more companies can share the risks, even if the box office fails after the film is released, it will not bankrupt all the companies.

To sum up, even those large group companies with strong financial strength are more willing to share the risks with several other companies when investing in a blockbuster.

In short, from the very beginning, Li Rengang did not hope that any company would be willing to invest solely in the royal guards.

Li Rengang was in a much better mood here. Wang Lin called back soon and told him that President Lu had time now and made an appointment with Li Rengang immediately.

……

A few minutes before 2:30 p.m., Lu Yang got out of the car. As soon as he looked up, he saw a teahouse called Mingzhu. Wang Lin was already waiting at the door. Seeing Lu Yang coming out of the car, he immediately walked over with a big smile.

"Wenda! How much do you plan to invest in this film? I heard that the budget of this film is hundreds of millions!"

As soon as he approached, Wang Lin asked Lu Yang in a low voice. He wanted to judge Lu Yang's confidence in the film from Lu Yang's investment amount, so as to weigh his own investment in the film.

In fact, up to now, Wang Lin still doesn't understand how Lu Yang likes this script. Where does Lu Yang's confidence come from? Wang Lin is still confused.

But this did not affect his decision in his heart to continue to follow Lu Yang's footsteps.

So far, there have been no unprofitable films and TV dramas cooperated with Lu Yang in the past two years. This is the source of Wang Lin's confidence in Lu Yang.

"Hehe, don't be too curious! Let's go! Didn't you just say on the phone that director Li has arrived? Don't delay here!"

Lu Yang smiled and dealt with it casually, but still didn't explain to Wang Lin.

Wang Lin glanced silently. Although he was helpless, he still accelerated his pace to follow Shang Luyang.

……

On the third floor of the Pearl teahouse, a beautiful waitress led Lu Yang and Wang Lin into the hall and saw Li Rengang not far from the entrance of the hall.

Don't ask Lu Yang why he can recognize him at a glance. Although the two sides have never met, which celebrity can't find photos on the Internet these days in the Internet age?

Just search the Internet and you can find the photos of Li Rengang.

His appearance in his forties is the golden age of men. Li Rengang, wearing a pair of half frame glasses, is gentle. If he is a university professor, many people will believe him.

The hairline on the forehead is very high. It is said that people with high hairline are very smart. This law should be very suitable for Li Rengang.

Lu Yang and Wang Lin went straight over there. It's a little pity that Li Rengang didn't see their photos. For a moment, they didn't realize that the two young people were Lu Zong and Wang Zong he had received a call before.

It was not until Lu Yang and Wang Lin came close to him that Li Rengang realized something. With a doubt in his eyes, he hesitated to get up.

"Are you two?"

"Director Li! I've heard so much about you! Nice to meet you! I'm Lu Yang!" Lu Yang smiled and stretched out his right hand.

Someone once said that whether a person is mature or not can be judged from a small detail, which is when he introduces himself to others.

When mature people introduce themselves to others, it is generally that I am so and so, but not mature enough, or people who are not strong and confident enough, say: my name is so and so.

The difference between the two is only one word, but it represents the strength of the heart.

Of course, it does not rule out some deliberately forced.

"Oh... Hello, Mr. Lu! My assistant told me that Mr. Lu is very young. It's really famous. It's better to meet him. Mr. Lu is younger than I thought!"

After confirming the identity of the visitor, Li Rengang suddenly became polite, stretched out his generous palm and shook it with Lu Yang, and then Wang Lin also came forward to introduce himself.

The waiter younger sister who led Lu Yang and Wang Lin to the hotel stood by as if she didn't exist. After the three introduced and exchanged greetings with each other and took their seats, she came and asked the two guests what they needed in a sweet whisper.

As for Li Rengang, he had ordered a cup of tea before Lu Yang and Wang Lin arrived.

Lu Yang noticed that there was a black briefcase on the table beside him. I didn't know whether it contained the script of royal guards.

"Wenda, what would you like to drink?"

Wang Lin smiled and whispered to Lu Yang.

"Just ask for a pot of tea! Huangshan Maofeng or West Lake Longjing!" Lu Yang said casually. He didn't expect anything from the tea in the teahouse, as long as he could drink it.

"Then have a pot of Huangshan Maofeng!" Wang Lin waved away the waiter's younger sister.

After the waiter left, Li Rengang took the initiative to take out a printed script of royal guards from his briefcase and handed it to Lu Yang, saying, "President Lu! Although I don't know where you heard that I was investing recently, before talking about cooperation, I think you haven't seen this script yet. You can have a look first!"

Speaking of this, Li Rengang smiled apologetically at Wang Lin and explained, "sorry, Mr. Wang! I only brought a script in my bag. If you don't mind, you can read it after Mr. Lu has read it! I'll talk about cooperation after you two have read it!"

Wang Lin shook his head and said, "it doesn't matter! I don't need to read the script. As long as Wenda says the script is worth investing, I will invest with it. In terms of words, I believe in Wenda's vision!"

Sure enough, he is a hard core fan!

Hearing the speech, Li Rengang knew it clearly in his heart.

Where's Lu Yang? Although he had seen the film "Royal Guards" more than once and twice before his rebirth, and naturally he had long been familiar with the plot of the film, when Li Rengang handed over the script, he still took it with a smile, opened it and watched it carefully from beginning to end.

To tell the truth, the reason why he looked so carefully was that he wanted to see what the script written by the big director was like. Lu Yang also wrote more than one script after his rebirth, but he was born in the wild. No one had given him formal guidance in writing the script. He was self-taught.

He was curious about how the script of Royal Guards was written.

The whole script is printed, so I can't see how Li Rengang's handwriting is. However, from the text format and even the story, we can still see that there are many differences between this script and the script format that Dai Qingwa sent him to modify before.

How to put it?

The script written by Li Rengang is very casual in terms of various formats, transitions, etc., but the plot is all explained clearly, just like the difference between a kitchen apprentice and a teacher.

For a primary school student in the kitchen, when learning knife work, the shelf will be placed very straight. Before cutting, keep in mind the basic requirements taught by the master, such as how to bend the fingers of the left hand and hold the kitchen knife with the knuckles, so as to ensure that the knife will not cut the fingers when cutting vegetables. For example, the waist should be straight, how far should the legs be separated, and when cutting vegetables, The arm does not move, only the wrist. Use the strength of the wrist to drive the kitchen knife to jump.

For a teacher, when cutting vegetables, there are no rules in his head. His left hand catches the raw materials and his right hand uses the kitchen knife in advance. He can scan the raw materials at most and see the point of cutting, and he will cut them immediately.

There were not many pages in the script. Lu Yang read it quickly and finished it in two or three minutes. After reading it, Lu Yang casually put the script in front of Wang Lin. Li Rengang looked at him, and he also met Li Rengang's eyes.

Nodding slightly, Lu Yang said, "the script is very good! I heard that director Li has been looking for investment for this play recently. I don't know how much money has been found now. Does this need to be kept secret?"

Wang Lin only glanced at the script and focused on the conversation between Lu Yang and Li Rengang. As he said before, in terms of words, he believed in Wenda's vision. In his heart, he never thought that his ability to review words could surpass Lu Yang.

Li Rengang smiled bitterly, shook his head and said frankly: "I have contacted some companies recently, but only a few have investment intentions, but they have not been determined yet. Perhaps it is because the budget of this play is too high! It is another ancient costume martial arts film. Recently, I have been thinking whether to reduce the budget of this play. If the budget is less, it should be much easier to invest! However, I am sure of this play Yes! It's a little difficult now, but I believe I can certainly get all the investment I need. Over the years, I have accumulated some reputation! I don't know how much President Lu intends to invest? "

At the beginning, Li Rengang was still a little depressed, but when it comes to the back, the whole human spirit has been determined a lot. From this point of view, he is a person with firm character.

Perhaps, only such a character can make a wonderful martial arts film with relaxation.

Lu Yang nodded. Maybe Li Rengang thought that since Lu Yang found him, he must have known about his recent investment, so he didn't hide it. But God knows, Lu Yang has only been involved in investing in the film for two days, and he doesn't know so much at all.

After Li Rengang's words, Wang Lin was even more confused. He didn't understand why so many companies didn't dare to invest in the film, but Lu Yang planned to invest in it before reading the script.

"Has director Li confirmed the candidate for the leading role?"

After pondering for a moment, Lu Yang suddenly asked this question.

Li Rengang shook his head again and said, "the investment has not been done yet. How can the leading role be decided? Just there are similar candidates in his heart!"

"Who?"

Both Lu Yang and Wang Lin looked at Li Rengang curiously.

"Zhao Wenzhuo! I've seen his new film" dragon and snake strike "recently, and it's very good! And the film" dragon and snake strike "is also very popular at present! Therefore, I'm going to invite him to play the role of Qinglong. As for the heroine Qiao Hua... I haven't thought about it yet!"
