I Work Hard Every Day To Make My Husband Bankrupt - Chapter 7
Lin Meng and Ning Qi sent Zhu Xufang downstairs. Noting that Zhu Xufang had no car to pick up and pick up, Lin Meng asked the driver on standby to take him away.
Back in the office, Lin Meng and Ning Qi looked at each other with intricate eyes.
“General Lin …” Ning Qi opened his mouth first, but couldn’t say any more.
“You said.”
Ning Qisi said: “From a commercial perspective, I don’t think we need to invest in Zhu Dao’s films.” He carefully analyzed, “In the film market, directors have a certain box office appeal. The word of mouth is actually very bad. Although it is said that the sword has been sharpened in ten years, but the director who has not been in charge for ten years can really produce a perfect answer? “
He didn’t give Zhu Xufang’s face at all. When it comes to such a large investment, he has to be cautious: “And in recent years, the market has become more and more inclined to popcorn and commercial films.” Ning Qi shook his head firmly, ” I don’t like Zhu Dao’s films. “
On the table facing Lin Meng, there were materials sent by Zhu Dao. The script, budget table and split-picture were all available.
What Zhu Xufang wants to shoot is an immortal film “Dengxian Road”, which is incompatible with the mainstream market. The script is personally operated by him. For ten years of dormancy, he has been pondering this film repeatedly to match the scoreboard. The picture is more accurate, and it is a thick book.
Although in the early years, he made several positive and blockbuster films, but due to the economic differences of the times, Zhu Xufang did not save much money. At the beginning of this year, he gritted his teeth and sold the house. He found a friend and recommended several film school students. I intend to invest in shooting this drama myself.
When the movie starts, it costs money.
It did n’t take long for the deposit to be spent, and if we had to collect money, we could only sell the house where the family lives now. The inner court caught fire. Madam Zhu was reluctant to agree. He had to hold the accumulated materials and sell them. Ideal, you can run around the wall.
It’s not that no investor is willing to look at his book, but as soon as the opinion was put forward, Zhu Xufang retreated.
Zhu Xufang, who was just sitting in front of the two, smiled wryly: “Some people say that my protagonist has to be changed, but I don’t think the little girl can do it.” He shook his head. “That bones, no classical beauty, on the big screen, it will Destroyed the lens effect. “What he wanted was not a good-looking face, but a suitable face.
“There are still people who are willing to invest, saying that I have to change the script. I can’t shoot any sword fairy. I have to shoot the emperor. I need to find more than a dozen fairies and make a legend of the emperor and the fairy.” Zhu Xufang was very helpless when thinking of these, He was a famous guide in his early years. The former coal boss, who gave money for one, didn’t mention anything, at most, he played a small role. Now the investors asked him to get dizzy.
There was silence in the office. Lin Meng asked again, “How much do you think you need to invest according to Zhu Dao’s highest budget?”
“Let’s say one hundred million less,” Ning Qi said again, “Mr. Lin, now the feeling film is no longer possible.”
He can’t deny that Zhu Dao’s talents are there. After ten years of training, he also has a clearer understanding of himself. Looking at the lens, it is not like the stream of consciousness that was done in the previous ones. It ’s really unnecessary to invest one or two billion yuan to make a fairy-tale movie, but rather to make a family comedy comedy, find a big coffee, and fight for a Spring Festival file, how can you not lose.
Zhu Tao also said frankly before leaving: “I know this film may not be a big seller, and it may be very costly to invest. I just don’t feel convinced and want to work hard for my film.”
Lin Meng has already moved.
This film perfectly fulfilled her two fundamental needs.
The first is to lose money and lose money.
Second, she was indeed shaken by Zhu Xufang’s words.
Who doesn’t have a fairy dream?
When she was a child, she could play “The Legend of the White Lady” in the bed and play all afternoon.
It’s over.
Ning Qi could see Lin Meng’s heart moved. He felt helpless, but at the same time knew that if Lin Meng was not such a person, maybe he would help him make money for a few years, and he would want to change his job and leave.
Well, it’s impossible to challenge again.
Ning Qi: “Mr. Lin, I’m very supportive of your ideas, but …”
“But what?”
“Would you like to try to be a producer?”
Producer? Lin Meng wondered, “Isn’t I the producer?”
Ning Qi laughed: “You make a film, I’ll take your ride, and make you a producer.” He thought for a while, and Ning Qi could see that Lin Meng was not the kind of like “撂 撂People, like during the half-month filming of “Love You Before Tomorrow”, it was clear that she was not used, but she was there every day. Once the crew reflected what was missing, they did n’t even need to mention Fangming or others. , Take the initiative to help prepare.
Is there anything more involved than production?
Dreams made by oneself aren’t they dreaming?
“This …” She thought about it, Lin Meng did find out that during this time, as she was busy, she no longer remembered the deep feelings as before.
It feels fulfilling to have my own business again and have my own time.
“Furthermore, I personally think that Zhu Dao must be lacking in commercialization. You forgot what Zhu Dao said just now? He doesn’t quite understand what the market needs now, and he hopes his work Even if there is no high box office, it must be recognized by the audience. “Ning Qi looks simple and honest. At this moment, he looks like a little devil with long horns, and is tempting Lin Meng who is not so firm. Well, I certainly won’t take into account any of his artistic ideals. “
Ning Qi discredited himself without hesitation: “I’m just a skin picker.” Don’t even say, he looks a bit fat and looks like, “And you, the master of economic power, reconciled in the middle. Is the most perfect. “
For her once, Zhu Yushen is the whole of life. Now I really want to try not to take him seriously. There is a withdrawal reaction. Occasionally in her spare time, her mind will still emerge from the other side. Looks like, even began to speculate whether he and Wen Xiaofu have started.
She also has to start, getting used to the world that doesn’t have to go round and round.
“it is good.”
…
Long-distance flights are very consuming, and coupled with the work over the past few days, there are red blood in Zhu Yushen’s eyes.
He got exhausted from the car exhausted, and when he entered the door, he met the housekeeper who was watering the flowers in the living room.
“Boss, you are back.”
“Come back.” Zhu Yushen unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, and the suit jacket was put on his hand. “Where’s your wife? Are you in the room?”
The steward looked miserably: “Don’t your wife go out to work? It’s been a week.”
Zhu Yushen was about to go upstairs and stopped, feeling bad: “Where did she go?”
“Going to City L, my wife said it would take at least a month and a half to come back.”
Zhu Yushen didn’t speak, and his thin lips curled into a tight line, went directly upstairs, opened the door, and he threw his clothes on the bed.
Although the maid came up to clean every day, he just felt that the house made him uncomfortable.
He was about to send a message to Lin Meng, only to find that there was a large metal box on the dresser.
The boxes contained several pieces of jewellery that had been completely put in their boxes, and even the identification certificates on them were packed intactly in bags printed with the auction house’s mark.
Does this mean that you haven’t even taken it apart?
Why is this temper not over? Zhu Yu had a severe headache, and his face became hard to look at.
He would rather Lin Meng stand here and continue to have those little tempers with him.
…
On the set, Lin Meng didn’t notice that her cell phone was vibrating. She was sitting with Zhu Xufang and was “educated” by the producer Ning Qi.
“Overrun again! President Lin, you can’t always follow Zhu Dao this way!” Ning Qi hated iron and steel, originally he was counting on Lin Meng to reconcile him with Zhu Dao, but now they are all in a panic. He jumps every day to overrun his budget.
“I don’t blame General Lin, I think, our costumes and special effects makeup can be advanced!” Zhu Xufang was busy covering Lin Meng. Now in his heart, Lin Meng is the living sage on earth.
Ning Qi grinned: “Mr. Lin, is it necessary for us to make so many clothes for this movie?”
Lin Meng is not afraid of power. Whoever makes her the biggest power is: “Of course it is necessary. On different occasions, we must have different clothes. This is a fairy film, not an ordinary film. With the character’s identity, ability, and personality, The transformation of clothing must also be reflected in clothing. “
Ning Qi furiously and Lin Meng killed with eyes, but there seemed to be a crackling sound in the air, but for a short while, he acknowledged: “Xing Xing Xing, this is the last time I know? The clothes expenditure is seriously exceeded!”
But this so-called last time, this week, has appeared no less than ten times.
He Fangming, who has been watching the drama next to him, hastily handed over a cup of chrysanthemum tea: “You rest, clear the heat and dispel the fire.”
He was temporarily drawn into the group.
After Lin Meng, Ning Qi and Zhu Xufang communicated with each other, one was afraid that Zhu Xufang could not support him as well as he could in the past two years; the other was that Zhu Xufang did not know enough about the popular shooting techniques, so he invited the photography team and He Fangming is an associate director.
And this “Dengxian Road” has also been upgraded to a 3D masterpiece.
The special effects company hired at a high price has sent a team to join the group, in addition to the actual shooting, but also prepare for green screen shooting.
Under the leadership of He Fangming, Zhu Xufang, who has not known about new technology for a long time, has absorbed the new technology like a fish, and is younger these days.
On the contrary … Ning Qi’s belly had disappeared two layers.
Lin Meng sat on the side and was thinking about a small abacus. She made a rough calculation these days, and until this film was released, she could throw at least two hundred million more in, perfect!
“Bright guide Zhu, do you have any suggestions for the witch candidate?” Ning Qi asked.
Zhu Xufang’s previous script is still too “ideal”, in short, it is not grounded.
After discussing with Lin Meng, Ning Qi went directly to a well-known screenwriter in the industry and provided comments and amendments with two well-known online Xianxia novel writers.
These three members followed the group and changed very quickly. For this drama, we added scenes such as the war between immortals and demons and the opposition between righteousness and evil. Coupled with Zhu Dao’s philosophical thinking, several people couldn’t find fault.
The only problem was that after revising the script, two more outstanding characters had to appear, one witch and one emperor.
The role of the emperor, Zhu Dao said quite mysteriously, one of his friends introduced a reliable actor, who will come to the audition.
As for the witch, she can only audition publicly.
Zhu Dao and He Fangming are watching a special effects company like Xianzongcheng. When they hear this, they answer: “The figure is better, don’t need a substitute; if you look, look more beautiful, and don’t want to make an expression.”
“Row.”
Ning Qi and He Fangming are very aware of such news channels. In order to avoid missing actors, they will post the news where they both know.
“Mr. Lin, what’s wrong with you?” He Fangming found Lin Meng a little thoughtless and asked anxiously.
“Nothing, I was just thinking about it.” Lin Meng blinked. “You said, would these fairywares look too ordinary? Would we like to customize a batch that looks different from ordinary martial arts films?” All kinds of magical treasures? “
“You make a little sense.” Zhu Xufang thoughtfully, and had already simulated the design in his heart.
Ning Qi glanced over quietly, squinting at He Fangming, as if to say that he should not talk.
Lin Meng, who turned her attention away, fell to her cell phone again. Just now Zhu Yushen sent a lot of messages asking her why she didn’t answer the phone or return the information, and urged her to go home by the way.
[Lin Meng: I am working outside and it will take another month to go back. 】
It didn’t take long for her to respond.
[Zhu Yushen: Why work? What job? 】
[Zhu Yushen: You can come to the company. 】
Well, it’s kind of funny.
Lin Meng recalled that she accompanied Zhu Yushen to start a business together. Later, the company had a reason to improve and abdicate.
At that time, she thought very hard. To get the company on track, she needed more professional talents, not hers. In addition, at the beginning of the explosive business, she stayed up late and was open all year round. With endocrine disorders and perennial insomnia, she hesitated to ask her to go home for recuperation, and the company’s position was to find someone to take over.
Zhu Yushen did not stay and agreed directly.
In the past, she felt that this was a caring concern from her husband, but now she occasionally doubts, does Zhu Yushen think that what she used to give is not so important?
After thinking for a while, she still held the impatience and returned the message.
[Lin Meng: This is my career. 】
