Chapter 267 Grades are the best teacher!!
"President Lin, please just say what you want to say."
Chen Le seemed to sense Lin Tianxiong's hesitation. He gently put down the script in his hand, turned his gentle gaze to Lin Tianxiong, and gestured for him to express his thoughts.
Hearing Chen Le's statement, Lin Tianxiong took a deep breath, organized his thoughts, and said seriously, "Mr. Chen, what I want to say is that although 5000 million seems like a high price in the market, if we can ensure the quality of the film and have a complete marketing plan, this investment is still worthwhile."
Zhang Zihao frowned, wanting to refute her again.
Lin Tianxiong quickly added, "Mr. Chen, Mr. Zhang, as you all know, when I was at Happy Twist Theater, I also tried to get involved in movies. Although it wasn't very successful, I learned a lot of valuable experience from it."
"I think a good script is indeed one of the keys to success, but more important is how to transform that script into a work that the audience loves."
"According to Mr. Zhang's calculations, an investment of 150 million is indeed a considerable sum, but this script does have its unique features and novel subject matter. If filmed properly, it is very likely to become a blockbuster that grosses over 500 million."
"As long as we can find suitable partners, reduce some costs, collaborate with experienced directors, or invite some popular actors to join the cast, we can provide a certain guarantee for box office success."
After listening to Lin Tianxiong's words, Chen Le nodded, clearly agreeing with his analysis. "You're absolutely right, Mr. Lin. Film investment isn't just about the script; it requires considering multiple factors. So, what do you think we should do to ensure the film's quality while controlling costs?"
Lin Tianxiong sighed upon hearing this.
He didn't know how to answer.
If you want to save costs, then why even make movies?
Since Mr. Chen is wealthy and has a large net worth.
Why are you so stingy when it comes to making movies?
Improving the quality of the film and attracting new audiences will inevitably boost box office revenue!
Why not cherish such a great opportunity!
This was also why Lin Tianxiong couldn't understand it, but he couldn't ask him at this moment.
Seeing that Lin Tianxiong didn't say anything, Chen Le smiled.
"President Lin, I know you have many thoughts on your mind."
"For example, you might think that people like us are all business people, finance people, and investors, and that we are not suitable for making movies at all."
"Even if the Dragon Kingdom's War God manages to set it on fire, it's just because we're lucky!"
"But actually, there's something I want to ask you. The movie we made by messing around became the champion, while the movie you poured all your money and effort into made made you lose everything."
"Have you never thought about the reason?"
When he heard Chen Le's words.
Lin Tianxiong remained silent for a moment, then finally lowered his head helplessly.
"Please give me your guidance, Mr. Chen!"
Chen Le smiled and said:
"It's not about giving guidance; some things just can't be understood simply by being told them."
"I'll approve the purchase of this script."
"Whether it's fifty million or more, I want it."
"You'll understand when this film is finished and gets a good box office result."
"Achievements are the best teacher. When you feel the pride and joy that success brings, and look back at the path you've taken, you'll understand why!"
"During this period, you should not participate in the filming. Just watch, pay close attention, cooperate with the crew, and arrange the actors!"
"All you need to do is get all of this done!"
After Chen Le finished speaking, he turned and walked outside.
Lin Tianxiong was overjoyed!
To my utter surprise, Mr. Chen actually listened to me and bought the script!
However, what followed was a tremendous sense of loss.
In his view, Chen Le had no intention of giving him an important position.
So far, he has only used his trusted confidants, his brothers.
He, and all the actors of Happy Twist, are just outsiders.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianxiong sighed deeply.
After a while.
Chen Le and the others had already boarded the car.
Chen Tianxiong rallied himself and made an appointment with Editor Zhou.
We arranged to meet at a high-end coffee shop.
In the afternoon, Chen Le led most of the senior executives to the coffee shop.
This coffee shop is very famous.
The aroma of coffee wafts for miles, even if you just take a whiff on the street.
I feel incredibly refreshed.
Arranging the meeting here also suits the tastes of screenwriter Zhou's profession.
A short while later, a waiter came over to greet me.
"Are you looking for Mr. Zhou? He's already waiting in the private room upstairs. Please come with me!"
The waiter gestured for us to proceed.
Everyone nodded and followed.
Arriving at the door of a private room, Chen Le pushed it open, and the others followed him inside.
A faint aroma of coffee filled the room.
Then, I saw a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses sitting in a chair, sipping his coffee.
The man is screenwriter Zhou Tong.
When Zhou Tong saw Chen Le and the others, he simply raised his head and waved as a greeting, without even standing up, which was obviously very impolite.
A gloomy look appeared on Zhang Zihao's face.
Chen Le didn't care.
Lin Tianxiong had gone through so much trouble to get an appointment, so he didn't care about these trivial details and rushed over first, his face full of enthusiasm.
"This must be the famous screenwriter Zhou in the industry, his name is truly legendary!"
"It's a pleasure to meet you."
Lin Tianxiong took the initiative to extend his hand.
Zhou Tong merely glanced at him indifferently, but did not extend his hand.
"You're Chen Le, the CEO of Longkong Entertainment?"
Upon hearing the question, Lin Tianxiong shook his head somewhat awkwardly, and slowly lowered his hand that had been hanging in mid-air when no one was paying attention.
"If you're not Chen Le, then who are you?"
"Screenwriter Zhou asked with a cold and arrogant expression."
"me……"
"Mr. Chen, please come in."
Lin Tianxiong was momentarily at a loss for words to introduce himself, so he turned his gaze to Chen Le.
Chu Yaoyang walked up to Chen Le and said softly, "Brother Le, I told you long ago, Lin Tianxiong isn't suited for business. He thinks making movies is too simple and is too easily manipulated."
"Given his attitude, if the other party makes a price, he'll probably have no choice but to accept it. How can that be? Even if he were given 10 more chances, his movies still wouldn't make any money!"
Chen Le smiled and said helplessly, "Don't look down on me like that!"
"Although Lin Tianxiong is a bit cowardly, he also has his own advantages!"
"For example, the grasp and capture of film details is quite accurate. You and Hao Ge, being roughnecks, would not be able to do this."
Chu Yaoyang scratched his head and said, "Alright, Brother Le has a good eye for talent, but he's not good at negotiating business. Let me give it a try."
Chen Le smiled and nodded.
Chu Yaoyang walked over and shoved Lin Tianxiong aside.
