Chapter 151 Let’s Make Money Together

The press conference is over.

Ye Kaifeng asked someone to send the live video of the press conference to Xu Yang. Xu Yang immediately sent it to Xiao Dongsheng, asking Xiao Dongsheng to find an editor to edit it, and then asked all anchors to promote it.

At noon that day, all the anchors of Fengcai Guild released a video together, and mentioned this drug for treating gastric cancer many times during the afternoon live broadcast.

It also triggered a national discussion.

…

That afternoon, Xu Yang received a call from Xu Zhen.

"Mr. Xu, I read the script you sent me. This script is so well written and touching. I am willing to be the director of this film." Xu Zhen said.

"Okay, I believe you can be a good director." Xu Yang was not surprised.

If he had refused even such a script, Xu Zhen would be too short-sighted and would not be able to get where he is now.

"Mr. Xu, I wonder if you have considered the choice of the male protagonist? I like this character very much. I wonder if I can play this role?" Xu Zhen asked.

When he read the script, he was deeply attracted by the role of the male protagonist.

It's a good script, a good character.

It's hard to come across a script like this and a character like this.

He felt that he could use this script and this role to take his career as a director and actor to a higher level.

The birth of "Too Awkward" made him a popular director.

But people basically regard him as a comedy director.

Comedies can make money, but many people think they have no depth.

As an aspiring director and actor, Xu Zhen hopes to direct some in-depth movies and star in some in-depth roles.

Such directors and actors can be called artists.

This is one of the reasons why Feng Gangpao is not satisfied with making comedies, but also makes dramas, disaster movies and war movies.

"Mr. Xu, in fact, I am considering you to star in this film." Xu Yang said.

"Really? Mr. Xu, thank you for your consideration and letting me be the director and starring. Don't worry, I won't let you down. I will put aside all my work and devote myself to the filming of this movie." Xu Zhen said excitedly .

"I believe you." Xu Yang said, "By the way, regarding the other characters in the film, I have a list here for you to refer to."

Hearing this, Xu Zhen lost his excitement and frowned instead.

The shaping of the character requires good actors.

A good actor can make a mediocre character stand out.

A mediocre actor can make an originally brilliant character become mediocre.

As a director, what you fear most is that investors will forcefully insert unqualified and unsuitable actors.

In that case, the play will be ruined.

One rat excrement spoils the whole pot of porridge, that's the truth.

If Xu Yang just plugs in one or two supporting actors, that's fine, he will try his best to handle it.

But what Xu Yang said was that there was a list of actors, which meant that he wanted to catch all other roles.

This is definitely not possible.

No matter how capable he was, he wouldn't be able to make a good movie.

If that were the case, the movie would be a waste.

"Mr. Xu, an actor's shaping of a character is the key to the success of a movie. As a director, I still hope to be able to select actors suitable for the role. I also hope that Mr. Xu can give me this power. I guess you don't want it either. I It’s not in your interest to make a bad movie.”

Xu Zhen said it more euphemistically.

That is to say, Xu Yang is the big boss who gave him such a good script and asked him to be the director and starring.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so polite when he spoke.

If Xu Yang must let him use some random actors to play other roles in the movie, then he would rather not be the director and star.

Because in that case, he would definitely not be able to make a high-quality movie.

"Director Xu, I know, I just want you to refer to it and give them a chance to audition. If you think those actors are suitable, you can use them. If they are not suitable, you can't use them. The initiative is completely in your hands, and I won’t recommend any actors to you in the future, what do you think?”

Xu Yang naturally knew that Xu Zhen was worried.

In fact, this is exactly a sign of Xu Zhen's seriousness and responsibility.

Only a director with this kind of persistence can make a good film.

The kind of director who will accept any messy character that investors throw at him can only make bad movies.

"Ok, no problem."

Xu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

In this case, he could arrange for those people to audition.

Anyway, if you are not satisfied, just refuse.

Such a good film must be made well. This is his chance.

It must not be messed up by a few actors.

"Okay, you are an expert in other aspects, so I won't ask. You can come up with the budget for this movie as soon as possible so that I can find investors." Xu Yang said.

Although he can invest in this movie alone, it is unrealistic.

It is not possible for a person to eat alone.

Making money together is the correct way to operate.

Otherwise, everything from filming to publicity to release would be difficult. Xu Yang would definitely not be able to handle it all on his own.

Bring in some investors, and those investors will take care of all this and make the filming and release of the movie go smoothly.

He plans to take 40% of the investment amount and share 60% with other investors.

This will not only help the smooth progress of the film, but also make connections.

This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

In fact, this is the same as the expansion of Jiangdi Lao.

Without Jiang Yuhang and Su Wenbin’s investment, it would have been impossible for Jiangdilao to expand to the four major first-tier cities, let alone expand across the country.

With the joining of the two people, Jiang Di Lao's expansion became smooth.

Any obstacles will be solved by the two of them.

"Mr. Xu, can you give me some investment quota?" Xu Zhen asked weakly.

He is very optimistic about this movie and will go all out to shoot it.

The box office shouldn't be bad, I just hope I can get some investment funds.

"No problem, I'll give you 10% of the investment amount. How about it? Are you satisfied?" Xu Yang smiled.

As a film director and starring role, Xu Zhen can give Xu Zhen a small amount of investment to make Xu Zhen work harder and make good movies.

The benefits are exciting.

"Satisfied, very satisfied. Thank you, Mr. Xu. Don't worry, I will make this movie well." Xu Zhen was excited.

Originally, he thought that even if Xu Yang agreed to give him an investment quota, it would only be 5% at most.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yang was so generous and gave him 10% directly.

It seems that this movie can not only make others change their views on themselves, but also make them make a lot of money!

The two parties chatted for a while and then ended the call.
