Chapter 477 Alright, Mr. Lin!
Moreover, Shencheng Satellite TV is a TV station, and Penguin is an online platform.
In terms of advertising value, the two are not at the same level at all. 80% of Shencheng Satellite TV may be more valuable than 10% of Penguin Video.
Lin Dong thought for a while and said: "As for the advertising space, leave me a title, don't shoot all of them."
Leave a title?
Oh my god.
According to the current popularity of these two variety shows, a title should be at least 500 million.
We got an advertising space last time and it’s not over yet, but this time we’re going to get the title directly. Are you hysterical, Your Majesty?
"Okay, Mr. Lin!"
Shi Shanshan agreed without any hesitation.
As a college student, it is wrong to question the boss.
Besides, the boss directly took away a naming right, which means that the boss must have a very big move next.
Could it be for "The King"?
It seems that the boss intends to decide the outcome with one move. Such a national-level variety show directly titles its own game, and the advertising effect is definitely at the top of the sky.
"That's how it is." In fact, Lin Dong originally wanted to keep the two naming rights, so that the Variety Department will not be able to earn much money next year. .
However, Lin Dong couldn't persuade the system to agree to such an obviously slow-down behavior.
"Which one of the two variety shows' naming rights will you keep?" Shi Shanshan asked again.
"You can keep whichever you want." Lin Dong didn't make a decision, he had already discovered that the decision he made might not necessarily result in a loss of money.
Of course, it is impossible to leave this naming right for "The King".
He was tired of living, so he thought of advertising for the king.
At this point in time, Lin Dong was about to go back.
The scenes that should be filmed have basically been filmed, and only need to make up some shots.
Lin Chaoxian is a very sophisticated director, and he also has very high requirements for the quality of films. He hopes to win the recognition of the mainland market through high-quality films.
If the market approves, Kleist should vote for his next film.
So, it looks like it's almost over.
He invited Lin Dong to dinner in private.
He invited them alone. Lin Chaoxian would invite the crew to dinner about once a month, and there were very few people invited alone. He himself would bring a lunch box to eat with everyone in the crew.
"Director, you can just speak directly if you have something to say, how embarrassing it is to treat guests~" Lin Dong held a pen, √√√...
If he hadn't known Lin Dong's terrifying appetite after getting along with him for the past few months, Lin Chaoxian might have thought that this kid was trying to trick him.
"I have to thank you. If it wasn't for you, I don't know how long it would take to make this movie." Of course Lin Chaoxian knew Lin Dong's identity, and Huang Jianxin had already told him about it.
At the beginning, Lin Chaoxian wanted to go north to film and formally enter the mainland market.
I found Huang Jianxin, who is known as the first director of the main theme movie, and hoped that he could recommend mainland capital.
If he uses Xiangjiang's capital to make movies in the mainland, it will be more difficult to pass the review, and there are still many restrictions on the rules. At least Xiangjiang filmmakers cannot directly establish companies in the mainland.
Even people like Fang Loon are active in the mainland in the form of cooperation.
Huang Jianxin did not refuse, and found Kleist for him, and said that the films that Kleist invests in will basically transfer overseas copyrights to the production team.
This alone made Lin Chaoxian not let this "taken advantage of him" go.
"Does Boss Lin know about Yemen's withdrawal of the bridge?" Lin Chaoxian saw that Lin Dong had almost eaten, so he chose to put the matter on the table.
It was only then that Lin Dong realized that the meal was not just to thank him for his investment in "Operation Mekong", but for something else, most likely to get him to invest in a new movie.
Facing a director who made a movie with a box office of 1.2 billion at a cost of 200 million, he had no intention of continuing to cooperate at all.
Don't mess with me, okay?
I don't want to make money!
I don't know if I can spit out the food in my stomach.
After spitting it out, it is considered that he has not eaten.
However, he would not spit out what he ate into his mouth, so he could only bite the bullet and nodded: "I heard that our army is indeed very powerful."
"Here are some detailed materials." Without further ado, Lin Chaoxian took out his briefcase and took out a few pieces of paper.
Tensions have continued to escalate since 2014. More than a dozen countries have closed their embassies and asked their citizens to evacuate.
The situation is very tense, and even the United States has expressed its inability to help citizens who are bored at night to leave the country. They hope that citizens who are bored at night will leave the country by sea on foreign ships.
Huaxia made every effort to organize the safe evacuation of nationals from the countries concerned, and the operation was a complete success.
The operation of withdrawing the bridge at night in 2015 was an expected benefit of China's efforts to build an ocean-going navy.
The information that Lin Chaoxian handed over was more about the details of this operation.
"In order to save one person, two dead and six injured?" Lin Dong was indeed shocked. During non-war periods, casualties in border conflicts are not announced to the public, and such actions will not publicize the details.
"It's true. I met people from the navy recently. They are planning to launch this project. I'm very interested." Lin Chaoxian looked at Lin Dong expectantly.
Isn't it obvious enough by now?
"Oh." Lin Dong buried his head and continued to eat, and said slowly: "Then this one is similar to "The Mekong River", and relevant departments are involved in it, so there is no suspense in passing the review."
Lin Dong used to think that this kind of movie involving various sensitive words was easy to get stuck in the review process.
Later he realized that he was too naive.
"The Mekong" was led by Gong Anbu, who directly sent consultants to the crew, and the scale was the result of discussions, who would dare to block him.
And this time "Night Mood Withdrawal from the Bridge" is the navy, which is also a safe batch.
It is too naive to expect to fail the trial and lose everything.
"Mr. Lin, don't worry, you don't have to worry about passing the review. Although the estimated cost this time is a bit higher, reaching 600 million, I can guarantee that the box office will never be lower than 200 million."
Lin Chaoxian completely regarded Lin Dong as a normal person.
"Six hundred million!" Lin Dong was taken aback.
Why is there inflation this year? Why is the investment in movies tens of millions? Just last year, everyone used the standard of over 100 million as a big investment.
"I don't know how the box office of the film "The Mekong River" is. If the box office is not good enough, it must be because there are too many literary dramas. There is no way, the budget was too small." Lin Chaoxian was a little embarrassed.
In front of other investors, they said that the budget should be made more.
This is equivalent to saying that you should cheat you a little more.
"So you plan to spend all 600 million on blasting?"
Your family runs a dregs pharmaceutical factory, right? The purpose of your filming is to sell dregs of medicine?
What kind of brain circuit is this.
Whether it is the special wolf series or "The Mekong", their core selling point is the feeling of a great power.
The rise of great powers!
The devastated Chinese nation hopes to have a strong national power as a shelter, and hopes to be recognized by the world.
The gold content of the Huaxia passport does not lie in how many countries you can travel to without a visa, but in the fact that the army of the motherland can protect you and take you home when you encounter trouble and danger.
Slag medicine is just a way of expressing this feeling.
For the 70 years of Huaxia movies, the movie "Armageddon", which can be called a war epic, used more than 10,000 real bullets, 3,500 pricked bullets, 160 tons of dregs, and 70 tons of black and white smoke screens for the entire filming. In war scenes, the blood plasma used for actor casualties is more than 700 kilograms.
There is enough scum in this series, but how many people have watched these movies?
"Boss Lin, there are all kinds of firearms, not just explosives." Lin Chaoxian explained reluctantly, he knew that he might go astray, but how would he know if he wasn't lying if he didn't take a run.
"What about the special effects, what about the special effects?" Lin Dong remembered this episode.
"Same as "The Mekong", basically no special effects are used, and the real side is shown as much as possible." Lin Chaoxian is a very traditional old-school director. His budget films are particularly good, but he doesn't like special effects.
During the filming of "The Mekong River", I encountered shooting difficulties.
The staff fell ill from exhaustion, the actors were injured, and even Lin Chaoxian went into shock and had to stop filming.
The repeated shots are not good.
So Lin Dong suggested to use special effects here.
Now is the era of special effects.
Moreover, Lin Dong kindly lent Kleist's meow-eyed special effects team. Although they are not well-known in the industry, their level is absolutely top-notch.
This is free.
However, Lin Chaoxian refused.
All the special effects of "The Mekong" are two special effects personnel plus three computers.
The special effects of "Xin Shushan" used a hundred special effects personnel, plus hundreds of computers, and you can open an Internet cafe.
You don't need special effects, and you plan to make a big scene?
Lin Dong was speechless about this, but he didn't immediately agree to invest in this movie. Lin Chaoxian had a criminal record on his side.
"Who does Director Lin plan to cast?"
"Mr. Lin, are you interested? If you are interested, this time I will give you the male number one, absolutely." Although Lin Chaoxian said to the outside at every turn, he never picks actors, and actors pick him. .
But in fact, his entanglement in choosing actors is comparable to that of Zhou Longxing.
But he chose Lin Dong, definitely not because of Lin Dong's money to bring capital into the group.
Actors like Lin Dong are great. They have good looks. There is nothing unusual about this. There are countless good-looking actors in the entertainment industry, some of whom are so tall that they can cross-dress with girls without any sense of disobedience.
The key is that Lin Dong is good-looking and not feminine at all. He looks like a soldier when he puts on a military uniform and goes there.
Good looks, tough guy, that's not all.
Lin Dong also has acting skills, this thing is not blinking or staring, it is not cutout or facial paralysis, it is not plastic surgery acting, and it is not explosive acting.
Acting is acting, so there are so many bells and whistles.
The acting skills that Lin Chaoxian recognized were that Lin Dong could give whatever he wanted.
No more, no less, just right.
For the next play, if Lin Dong is still willing to act, he will book it without hesitation.
It doesn't matter whether Lin Dong will invest the money or not.
"Forget it, I don't like acting too much in one genre." Lin Dong shook his head decisively.
He is a member of the investment circle, and he has no shortage of acting, so there is no need to act in whatever he encounters.
After the performance of "The Mekong River", why bother to perform this so-called "Night Moment Withdrawal Bridge".
"What a pity." Lin Chaoxian sighed.
"Will Teacher Zhang Hanshu participate in the performance?" Lin Dong asked again.
"No, his reasons are somewhat similar to yours." Lin Chaoxian was helpless, they are all actors with ideas.
Zhang Hanshu's celebrity may not be that top-notch, but he is very popular with directors. Some directors are willing to cooperate with him, and the resources are not too good.
"Then who are you going to find to play?"
He has to confirm the cast of the show to judge whether the show will make money and how much it will make.
"I'm going to find some young people to play, let's use some newcomers, I hope it can bring a new atmosphere to the entertainment industry, don't make it like our Xiangjiang generation, with no successors." Lin Chaoxian suddenly became sentimental.
Lin Dong was also a little touched.
Now to take stock of those actors in the era of Hong Kong movies, they really need to have acting skills and image.
You can count countless classic versions of even a eating scene.
For example Zeng Zhiwei in Infernal Affairs, Liu Qingyun in Detective, Liu Ruoying in A World Without Thieves...
On the other hand, these new generations in the mainland entertainment industry still only talk about eating. Who can you think of? You can only think of Zhou Bo running all the way while eating bread heroically. Milk, what you can think of is Uncle Ge eating cucumber with dipping sauce, what you can think of is Chen Peisi eating noodles...
There is no scene where the gods and goddesses eat.
We are not obsessed with the issue of eating, but to see a phenomenon from here.
Today's young people are too inhuman.
If you only pursue big scenes, if you invite a group of young actors to participate, and if the cost is exaggerated to 600 million, then how much box office will this movie have.
If the cost is 600 million, the box office must exceed 1.8 billion to start making money. After all, as long as Kleist has box office in the mainland, the network broadcasting rights are for his own use. If he shares it with Penguin, it is not a currency situation. It is resource exchange.
"Hey, in recent years, we have really grown stronger and become a big country. We no longer have to suffer the humiliation of the past. As a person who often goes abroad, I feel the deepest."
Lin Chaoxian didn't push him, and gave Lin Dong time to think about it, and started chatting after the business was over.
"really."
Lin Dong knew in his heart that this was no small talk.
This is to sell feelings.
You see, as a director of Xiangjiang, I think about shooting the main theme all day long, I think about promoting the spirit of a great country, and I am busy advocating the patriotism of the whole people.
You are a mainland capital, why can't you take the initiative.
Lin Dong sneered in his heart, then you don't know, although I look like a Chinese, but inside I'm not human, oh, not from this world.
Strictly speaking, I should be more British.
But for Mao, the blood in his heart rushed to his forehead.
Is this something wrong? What kind of sense of honor do I have?
Lin Chaoxian also deliberately picked an incident that happened in recent years. He specialized in researching it, and he was in contact with relevant key departments, and he knew much more than Lin Dong.
Lin Dongyue felt more excited when he heard it.
The spine is numb.
This feeling comes from the heart, and it cannot be faked at all.
No, you must hold back!
I'm the one who wants to go home!
