Chapter 435 Because It’s Lin Xing

Meng Yan really wanted to invest in this "Death on the Ball". Although she had not read the original novel, she couldn't wait to meet Lin Xing after reading the script.

Because Meng Yan really thought that the script was quite creative.

And the more important point is that she believed in Lin Xing.

So, she naturally came to see Lin Xing directly.

Meng Yan was very realistic, that is, Lin Xing's next movie was a big deal, and she definitely couldn't miss it.

Even if this was a science fiction movie, as long as this person was Lin Xing, it was worth a try.

Originally, Meng Yan thought that Lin Xing should just try it out simply, but she never expected that Lin Xing would play so big.

"Teacher Lin, I believe you, but if the investment in this movie is really so large, then should we change the director?"

Meng Yan pondered for a moment and said: "After all, Sun Feng has no experience in making blockbusters, especially science fiction movies."

"Not necessary."

Lin Xing smiled and said: "How many directors with experience in making blockbusters ended up not making good movies? You know what the movie "The Fall of the Demon City" was like."

"This... is indeed true."

Meng Yan thought about it and nodded gently: "Although I am confident that I know a lot about movies, I still think I am not as good as you, so you can do whatever you want with the movie. We are willing to invest 20 million..."

Just like that, Lin Xing never thought that after attracting a circle of investors, it turned out that Meng Yan had a good eye for pearls.

Of course, people in the circle don't think Meng Yan has a good eye for pearls. Everyone just thinks it's too risky.

Or too radical.

"If someone else were to make a sci-fi movie, I would think he was crazy, but I think Lin Xing might be able to do it, but he is too bold."

"Yes, it is indeed too bold, and why is Lin Xing making a sci-fi movie for the next time?"

"Who said that before? Lin Xing wanted to break the million-dollar box office as quickly as possible, why is he suddenly making a sci-fi movie?"

"I think Lin Xing thinks that sci-fi movies can be big movies? After all, a sci-fi movie can also have 30 or 40 billion..."

"Don't make a fuss, it is impossible for even Hollywood movies to make 30 billion for sci-fi movies now, let alone domestic sci-fi? Still 30 or 40 billion? I think it's hard to make tens of millions..."

...

At present, when the industry knew that Lin Xing was going to make a sci-fi movie, everyone was not very optimistic.

But because of the miracles that Lin Xing had created before, it was really hard to say that Lin Xing had lost his mind.

For this reason, most people in the industry would only think that Lin Xing was too radical.

Think that the three movies set a record, so he wants to make a name for himself in the field of sci-fi movies?

Or if he is already the best in art films, then it seems reasonable for Lin Xing to go to the science fiction film track.

After all, Lin Xing is not like other actors. This guy has always been unconventional.

Which actor is like Lin Xing? ?

However, when everyone heard that the science fiction movie that Lin Xing was going to invest in was adapted from an online novel, and even the director was Sun Feng, the industry was in a state of confusion.

Is this how it is? ?

A director who shoots youth campus dramas comes to shoot science fiction, what is he planning to do? ?

However, Lao Zhong, who always believed in Lin Xing, said on Weibo: "Everyone, stop criticizing. I just want to ask one question, do you believe that Lin Xing can continue to create miracles??"

"Lao Zhong, I believe that Lin Xing can continue to create miracles, but I absolutely do not believe that Lin Xing can create miracles in science fiction movies."

"In fact, Lin Xing's box office appeal is extremely strong now. I think that he may be able to make a box office of over 100 million by making this science fiction movie."

"The key is that have you read the novel "Death on Earth"? If he shoots according to the original novel, the special effects will cost money for every frame. Let alone breaking 100 million, the box office may not be able to make back the money even if it breaks 1 billion."

...

When the audience knew that Lin Xing was making a science fiction movie, they were in a state of confusion.

Because they couldn't figure out why Lin Xing always acted against the market anyway?

It made sense to make art films before. First of all, although art films are niche, they have a market after all, and it is understandable that TV drama stars act in art films in their first movie works.

In addition, after the success of "Killing Ading", "Sunspots" and "Going to Heaven" were both phenomenal successes.

At this time, even if Lin Xing continued to act in art films, no one would say anything.

As a result, no one expected that Lin Xing would actually make a science fiction movie, and the key director was not a big director.

Zheng Zhou was originally doing the post-production of "The Age of Fighting", and he looked at the news on the Internet and called Lin Xing: "Axing, are you really ready to shoot?"

"Well, I think the script is pretty good, so I want to try the water of science fiction movies."

Lin Xing nodded gently.

"Then, count me in."

Zheng Zhou thought for a while and said: "I can't invest more, I'll invest 5 million."

Obviously Zheng Zhou is not optimistic about science fiction movies, but he is willing to invest in Lin Xing, not to mention that "The Age of Fighting" needs Lin Xing to continue to promote it.

"Okay."

Lin Xing nodded gently, and there was no politeness or awkwardness.

Just after hanging up the phone with Zheng Zhou, Xin Hui called over angrily: "No, Lao Lin, what do you mean??"

Lin Xing was stunned: "What's wrong??"

"What's wrong? Don't you think I really don't have anyone in the entertainment industry? You've approached so many film and television companies for investment, why don't you seek out me??"

Xin Hui was a little angry: "Do you not regard me as a brother??"

"This is really not the case."

Lin Xing shook his head and smiled: "Mainly, I don't have much confidence in the box office of this science fiction movie, because the current domestic science fiction movie market is so bad after all. Didn't you say a few days ago that your father praised you for knowing how to invest? If I ask you to vote for this movie, you will really throw it..."

"If you pounce, just pounce. What's the point??"

Xin Huihun said nonchalantly: "Besides, there are always losses and profits in investment. Let alone we are brothers, we are investment partners. Who can guarantee that we will always make money??"

"Don't talk about this matter. I will pay the rest of the money with Lao Liang..."

Xin Hui said, "Let's have a drink tonight. I'll call Lao Liang."

As a result, when they stayed at night, Lin Xing saw that Xin Hui's face looked a little ugly, and he was drinking alone, and he asked with some confusion: "What's wrong??"

"I really feel like I was blind and saw the wrong person."

Xin Hui said with gritted teeth.
