Chapter 512 Let You Experience the Power of Stormwind City

Are young people like this now?

Li Lu was shocked by Xiao Huangmao's shamelessness. He, a person who shoots officials and intrigues, dare not do this.

And another young man at the scene, Lin Dong, had already picked up the script and flipped through it.

New script?

It doesn't sound like the screenwriter changed the script, no wonder Zhou Meilin didn't come, presumably because he was very angry at others changing his script.

"As for Uncle Li, I remember that I chose Teacher Lin Dong because I hope that this drama will be liked by more young people? My character can also take on this function. Elements such as sailors, Weibo, and new media are included in the original novel. It is not only a new anti-corruption method, a new communication feature, but also closer to the lives of young people. Uncle Zhou doesn’t understand, I think you should support me, Uncle Li.” Little Huang Mao has his own rhetoric, and it is estimated that even He believed it himself.

Li Lu gasped for breath.

"Niu Niu, I remember that you graduated from the Directing Department of Nortel, so can't we do a good job as a director and let professional actors act?" Gao Yalin persuaded.

"I like acting very much. I have worked with Uncle Li before. This time I not only directed and starred, but also helped raise investment. Uncle Li, why are you still dissatisfied with me? You are my father's friend, I respect You, but now it's a market economy, we fools don't know how to invest in this drama, okay?"

Que Niuniu used to act as a good baby in front of Li Lu.

This time he helped bring in the investment, and immediately became restless. Not only did he become the director of Group B from a director assistant across domains and executive directors, but he also decided to play an important role.

However, the role he chose was too small.

This is a small supporting role, with only a handful of appearances.

In the fifty-four chapters of the original book, this character only appears in chapters seventeen and fifty-one. The book has a total of 384 pages, and only seventeen pages have them. write them.

Almost a negligible small character.

So, he found a screenwriter friend to add drama to the script for himself.

In some episodes, the role of this character has been increased to more than one-third, from a minor supporting role to an important supporting role with a heavy role.

However, the screenwriter he hired was limited in level after all, and Zhou Meilin, the author of the original work and also the official screenwriter, was needed to polish it.

After Zhou Meilin read the draft, he cursed directly.

Didn't even show up for the opening ceremony.

On the one hand, he is a bosom friend who has a good chat, and he feels that he bows his head for money, and on the other hand, he is a young man who was supported by the previous, treacherous, and Li Lu is caught in the middle.

Lin Dong hastily flipped through the script, and easily saw a large section of extra scenes.

After all, the revisions are marked in bold font.

The original book is forty-five to fifty episodes. With such an addition, it is estimated that fifty episodes will not be enough.

Well, from the perspective of selling money, this is indeed very cost-effective.

Regardless of whether it is calculated as a salary or sold to a TV station, the money is calculated according to the number of episodes.

However, seeing how Li Lu and Zhou Meilin objected so much, one can imagine how bad such a change is. After all, Li Lu asked Lin Dong to act in the first place, and he was also a young actor with a heavy role. Zhou Meilin didn't object, did he? .

"This is..." Lin Dong closed the script and asked.

"This is Que Niuniu, the director of Group B of our show, an actor, and also an investor." Gao Yalin explained to Lin Dong.

Li Lu was so angry that he didn't have the strength to answer.

"New investors?" Lin Dong doesn't remember hearing about it before. The investors in this drama should be several state-owned enterprises, as well as two private companies represented by Gao Yalin and Lin Dong.

"Lao Li, calm down too, Dongzi and I will go out to smoke a cigarette." Gao Yalin couldn't say anything in front of Xiao Huangmao, and dragged Lin Dong out.

There was no one in the corridor, the two of them were talking here, and smoking was just an excuse.

Gao Yalin began to explain what happened today.

"All the capital has been withdrawn. Of those state-owned enterprises, only you, me, and three other private enterprises are left, and two of them were found by Que Niuniu..."

When Lin Dong entered the arena, investors came in and out many times, and they almost ruined "Heavenly Bureau".

At that time, there were only three state-owned enterprises left, plus Gao Yalin, and the newcomer Lin Dong, barely scraping together 120 million yuan.

So it was announced that the project was officially launched, and the time for the start-up was set.

However, these three state-owned enterprises did not withstand the pressure and withdrew one after another, making a TV series initiated by the highest editor become a project invested by all private companies.

At the worst time, only Lin Dong and Gao Yalin were left.

Lin Dong invested 50 million, and Gao Yalin invested 20 million. Later, he had no choice but to go bankrupt and invest another 10 million.

Gao Yalin also helped to find another private company, the one that had never invested in TV dramas, and they took 10 million.

Ninety million is not enough no matter what, everyone is desperately looking for money together.

Lin Dong also remembered that not long ago, Gao Yalin approached him and asked if he could pursue some investment. After all, Kleist was rich and powerful, and invested hundreds of millions of dollars in movies.

But was rejected by Lin Dong.

Boss Lin can't help it. The system is a stick. As long as it has been invested, no matter whether it makes money or loses money, no additional investment is allowed.

It seems that the crew is really desperate.

Que Niuniu came from a family of performers, and the elders in the family were all the earliest filmmakers, so they had all the contacts there.

Moreover, this person is very good at fooling around, so he really got two investments.

A sum of 20 million, a sum of 10 million, barely let the crew overcome the financial difficulties.

He found the money, and the investors only trust him, so he can do whatever he wants.

From the original director's assistant, he directly became the director of Group B - Li Lu did not plan to find a director of Group B, he was not at ease to hand over any shots to others.

But people have to bow their heads under the eaves. Group B will be Group B. At worst, just give him some unimportant daily scenes for him to enjoy.

As for Que Niuniu's request to play the role of Zheng Shengli, Li Lu didn't take it seriously.

He thinks that Que Niuniu's acting is okay, because of Que Niuniu's father's sake, he has already collaborated with Que Niuniu in three works, and he doesn't think Que Niuniu can't take on such a small role.

However, what broke him down was that Que Niuniu wanted to change the script to add drama to himself.

What broke him down even more was that Que Niu Niu added too much drama, causing Zhou Meilin to go berserk immediately. If not all relevant contracts had been completed, Zhou Meilin might turn against him directly.

"You also read the new script just now, alas, I plan to go back and find Que Niuniu's father, and let his father persuade him." Gao Yalin is also devastated.

He was drawn into this project by Li Lu.

At first, I thought it was just following a group of state-owned enterprise bosses to pick up some leftovers, and even if I didn't make money, I would show my face.

Unexpectedly, the bosses left one by one, and now he has become the second largest investor, plus the chief producer and the president's funding.

By the way, he also played the role.

It's just that he didn't ask to add drama to himself like Que Niuniu did.

He felt that instead of counting on the small amount of money for the film, it is better to hope that the quality of the drama will be good, and when it is sold to TV stations, it will sell for more money. It is easier to make money from investment.

Que Niuniu didn't think so, anyway, he was just soliciting investment, even if he made money, it would not be his turn.

If there are more roles, it will become popular, and the salary will also increase.

"Looking for my dad? Do you want me to dial the number for you? Today I will leave my words here. If you can do it, you can do it. If you don't, you have to do it. You should find out what the power of capital is." The little yellow hair opened the office The door, let out a harsh word.

It seems that the sound insulation effect of small offices is really limited.

"Niu Niu~" Gao Yalin forced a smile, this comedian who played Liu Xing's father, actually had a very friendly smile.

Do you want to be in the second grade like this?

Return the power of capital.

Why don't you say "Let you see the power of Stormwind".

Lin Dong felt like he was watching a movie. This was a movie initiated by the highest editor. Little Huangmao, you have a cramp in your brain, you are still not afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet.

In fact, I'm really not afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet.

The more awesome the department is, the more rules and regulations must be followed.

Otherwise, those companies that have signed the contract and then quit for various reasons, why don't they worry about being troubled by the top editor.

Aren't you afraid of being jotted down?

There is another thing that Lin Dong doesn't understand.

This little yellow hair added so much drama to himself, did he think that this would make him angry?

No matter how much this kind of play is, it will violate harmony.

When it is broadcast in the future, netizens will directly scold him to death.

Li Lu also came out of the office.

This director has been very silent all the time, as if he was thinking, but also seemed to be silently protesting, but he really has a lot of connections in the entertainment industry, and quite a few old actors who participated in TV dramas are all directed at him , and various reductions in pay are very face-saving.

"Old Gao, don't talk about it, let him withdraw the capital, and I will continue to change the money." Li Lu supported the door frame, feeling a constant spasm in his stomach.

"Hehe, this is not the first time you have asked me to withdraw capital, and finally you have to ask me to come back, Uncle Li, don't regret it, come back to me next time, I will continue to add drama." Que Niuniu young man , I can't hold my breath at all.

This feeling of having a chip in his hand really made him float.

And his honour, in addition to having the care of two capitals in his hand, is also because the probability of finding new investment for "Heaven Bureau" is almost zero. He is also the main creator now, and he knows better than anyone how difficult the crew is now.

Li Lu almost fainted from the anger.

He and Que Niuniu's parents are good friends, and he treats Que Niuniu as his own nephew, acting and directing, and he teaches everything hand in hand.

How did this kid suddenly become like this?

"Thirty million, right? I'm out here. Let's not change the script. I've already memorized the previous script. Shouldn't I have to memorize this revision?" Lin Dong felt that he had to stand up. Stand up at this time, we are the protagonists.

If you don't stand up, you are a sand sculpture.

He actually doesn't have 30 million in his hand now, to be precise, he only has 27.8 million.

Fortunately, film investment does not give all the money at once.

Payment can be made in batches.

Generally, four payments are made in a ratio of three to three to one.

Kleist invested 50 million yuan, but now only 15 million yuan has been received.

If it is 2780, he will leave 300,000 for his pocket money, air tickets and accommodation, so the gap is only 2.5 million.

His salary for this TV series is 1.5 million.

At present, I haven't received a penny, and the 1.5 million can be used to offset part of it.

That leaves a gap of a million.

The title of tens of billions of box office is here, so you can earn it casually, okay?

The only pity is that if "Little Broken Ball" had a chance, he might not have the money to get involved.
