Chapter 538 Am I the Master Controller Again?

Ding Chunling really didn't want Lin Xing to take on "The Streets". She felt that taking on this script was completely thankless.

What's more important is that Lin Xing not only accepted the script, he also invested.

This movie "Death on Earth" has almost completely consumed the funds. If it were not for Xin Hui's investment, the capital chain would have been broken long ago.

This is why Ding Chunling feels that Lin Xing should not give out nearly 30 million red envelopes.

Of course, just post it, it can be considered as publicity.

But I didn't expect that Lin Xing would take on such a controversial drama as "The Streets".

This is really completely confusing.

Why does Lin Xing always take such risks? ?

Wouldn’t it be better for us to pick up money easily? ?

But Ding Chunling understands that this is the reason for Lin Xing's success. Just like Sister Dao said, when you are Lin Xing's agent, you don't want to control him. You just need to help him solve some tedious things so that he has no worries. .

Because of this, when Ding Chunling knew what Lin Xing was going to do, she wanted to help Lin Xing solve his worries.

"I really don't know how to guarantee this..."

Wei Lu faced Ding Chunling with a wry smile and said: "But I believe Lin Xing understands me, otherwise he would not accept this script. And if you and Song Ying reach an agreement today, then one of your people will be the producer, then You have the right to decide the entire show. If I really want to change it at that time, I will have to agree with you..."

"Director Wei, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant."

Ding Chunling was waiting for Wei Lu's words, but she couldn't say that, so she said with a smile: "Actually, I don't agree with taking on "The Streets", but Lin Xing really insists on taking it. You don't know that we are now Funding is also difficult..."

For an agent, his main role is to be responsible for negotiations and to fight for the maximum rights for the artist. At the same time, he is a good person and leaves all the good things to the artist.

So you can see that most of the time agents are scolded the most.

In short, for Ding Chunling, she must take everything into consideration. She is not like to follow in Yuan Yu's footsteps.

You must know that if Wei Lu can change the script once, then she can definitely change the script twice.

Therefore, Ding Chunling must take everything into consideration for Lin Xing.

After all, isn’t that what her agent does?

But in fact, Ding Chunling is a little overthinking. Now Wei Lu actually finds that times have changed. Directors in the past can be said to be tyrants, so anything can be done.

But things are different now.

Today's actors don't just follow directors.

Yuan Yu's incident also touched Wei Lu a lot. Wei Lu understood that times were different now, and if "Fire Streets" could be restarted smoothly this time, Wei Lu was willing to give in, but this premise did not affect In the case of the crew.

After all, for Wei Lu, she can make concessions, but she will never sacrifice quality.

And coincidentally, Lin Xing is not such a person either.

This is also the reason why Lin Xing was willing to do it after seeing "The Streets", because Lin Xing really thought the script was really good.

At noon, Lin Xing, Wei Lu, Song Ying, and Ding Chunling had a meal together.

Currently, there are only three main investors in "Hot Streets". Tianji Film and Television has withdrawn, and the remaining two investors besides a small film and television company are Song Ying.

And that small film and television company has no decision-making power. Because of this, Song Ying can actually make the decision.

"Lin Xing, let me tell you the truth."

Song Ying said directly at this time: "As long as you are willing to invest, then there is nothing I can't be dissatisfied with. Now I just hope that "The Streets" can be launched smoothly..."

Lin Xing nodded lightly: "Okay, then you can talk to my manager, Sister Ling, about the follow-up. Anyway, we have to sign a contract to handle everything, so that there won't be any wrangling in the future."

"no problem."

Song Ying suddenly said at this time: "Wei Lu, you and Ding Chunling go out for a while. I have something to tell Lin Xing in private."

Although Wei Lu was a little confused, she still stood up. Then Ding Chunling glanced at Lin Xing and left directly.

Just like that, only Song Ying and Lin Xing were left in the room.

"Mr. Song, if you have anything to say, just tell me. We can talk about anything."

Lin Xing didn't understand what was going on with Song Ying, but he still said it directly.

From Lin Xing's point of view, if it was because of the investment issues in "Hot Streets", then just go ahead and do it directly.

Wei Lu said yesterday that in fact, Yuan Yu's divestment was not just 20 million, because it also included Yuan Yu's 20 million salary.

This means 40 million.

At present, Song Ying has invested nearly 80 million in "Hot Streets", which is not a small amount of money.

After all, "Hot Streets" was first shot as a large-scale production, but now many scenes need to be reshot.

For Song Ying, she initially thought that this drama should be a guaranteed profit without losing money. After all, Wei Luke had never lost money.

But now she was a little tired.

"Lin Xing, I know you are very optimistic about this script, so can you take away my investment share?"

Song Ying asked directly at this time.

Lin Xing was slightly startled: "You mean you are also preparing to divest?"

"Yes, now my business is encountering some problems, and some properties cannot be liquidated immediately. I need cash..."

Song Ying didn't have the nerve to say that she no longer wanted to make money. She just wanted to get the money back as soon as possible.

But it’s too difficult.

After all, this 80 million is not a small amount of money, and who is willing to accept a mess like "The Streets"? ?

For this reason, Lin Xing smiled bitterly after hearing Song Ying's words and said: "Mr. Song, as you know, my capital chain is about to be cut off at any time. "Death on Earth" is like burning money every day. So far, hundreds of millions have been burned..."

Song Ying knew this, and everyone in the industry thought Lin Xing was crazy.

Of course, Song Ying also thought that Lin Xing was crazy. After all, if you weren't crazy, how could you accept "The Streets"? ?

Now Song Ying really feels that there is nothing left in "The Streets". She knows Wei Lu, and she feels that Wei Lu doesn't have much energy anymore.

Under such a situation, Song Ying really wanted to withdraw.

But after all, she and Wei Lu are best friends. She originally wanted to invest in Wei Lu. How could she have the nerve to leave directly now? ?

For this reason, Song Ying could only talk to Lin Xing in private.

She can understand that Lin Xing doesn't want to take away the share. After all, who is willing to invest such a high amount? ? ?

Thinking of this, Song Ying gritted her teeth and said: "Lin Xing, if you are really willing to take it away, I can give you a 30% discount..."

30% off? ?

This made Lin Xing a little confused. You know, even if Song Ying really needs money, there is no need to act like this.

So Lin Xing said with some confusion: "Mr. Song, I think although the box office of this movie is hard to say, it should not lose money. Why are you so anxious??"

Song Yingxin said, how can I still believe it now? ?

But since it was just her and Lin Xing, she was ready to stop pretending. Song Ying said directly: "Lin Xing, I mainly feel too tired. It's really not human beings who invest in this movie. I don't know what will happen in the future." , if you really like this movie, then you can take my share..."

"OK."

Lin Xing thought for a moment and said, "But Mr. Song, you have to give me some time, because I really don't have any money now. I have to find a way to borrow some money..."

"no problem."

Upon hearing this, Song Ying said happily: "I can wait."

In this way, after the two of them finished talking, Lin Xing was going to tell Ding Chunling about the matter, and Song Ying was also going to tell Wei Lu about the situation.

"Song Ying, as soon as the movie can be restarted, we will try our best to improve the shooting progress. Don't worry, you will never lose money on this movie..."

Wei Lu also breathed a sigh of relief and said.

You must know that Wei Lu is indeed under a lot of pressure. She is a very affectionate person. She is not afraid of other things, so she feels sorry for Song Ying.

Because of this, Wei Lu really wanted to get this matter settled as soon as possible, at least to secure the investment and allow the crew to start production normally.

Song Ying looked a little embarrassed at this time, but she still said: "Thank you Wei Lu. In fact, I just made an agreement with Lin Xing. He is more optimistic about our movie. I believe he will join us." This movie will never fail.”

"Well, I think so too."

Wei Lu smiled and said, "By the way, what were you and Lin Xing talking about just now?"

"this……"

Song Ying said with some confusion: "Wei Lu, you also know that I am not suitable to be a producer."

"I know. I've already told Lin Xing that he will send a responsible producer. You just need to keep an eye on the set."

Wei Lu nodded slightly and said.

"The main reason is that I didn't expect it to be so difficult to invest in a movie, so I plan to withdraw my investment next. Wei Lu, please listen to me first. I will not withdraw directly. I talked to Lin Xing, and then he Will accept it..."

Song Ying quickly said to Wei Lu.

Wei Lu was a little disbelieving: "Lin Xing agreed??"

"Well, I asked Lin Xing to take my share directly at a 30% discount."

Song Ying said: "Lin Xing said to give him some time."

Wei Lu said with some disappointment: "Song Ying, do you have so little confidence in my movie??"

"No, no, Wei Lu, please don't misunderstand me. I just really don't want to be so tired."

Song Ying said quickly at this time.

At this time, Wei Lu was really disappointed and a little embarrassed at the same time.

Because this seems to be a trick for Lin Xing.

As for Ding Chunling, she was even more furious when she heard Lin Xing's words: "Axing, wake up, how can we still have money to continue to collect shares? The investment in this movie will definitely not be less than 200 million. Explosions are all money, where do we get the money?”

"I'll discuss it with Xin Hui."

Lin Xing thought for a while and said.

"Axing, I know Xin Hui is rich, but he can't depend on you for everything, and no matter how good the relationship is, you can't spend it like this."

Ding Chunling persuaded her sincerely: "I really don't like "The Streets". In this film and television industry, as long as there is a crash, it will not be remade. I know you are optimistic about the script, but the script and filming are good." It’s two different things after that. Didn’t you know it after filming such a drama?”

"I know, but "Death Knell" was also suspended back then."

Lin Xing shook his head and said.

Ding Chunling was somewhat speechless: "Can this be the same?"
