Chapter 591: 589. United

Chapter 591 589. Joint

A dozen or so scripts cannot be read in one day.

But Xu Xin doesn't need to be particularly careful.

It is probably enough to understand a story.

For example, in this "Golden Heist", after roughly reading the overall story structure, a person popped up in his mind.

Ning Hao.

The style of the script and it suits him.

In other words, directors who like to make this kind of black humor comedies will like this script very much.

However, as a director, he brought himself into Ning Hao's perspective...

If it were him, he wouldn't take this drama.

The reason is that after he finished filming "33 Days", he won't be taking on romance films in the short term.

Nothing new.

It must be admitted that Ning Hao did start his career as a director with "Crazy Stone".

But looking at the other party's resume...

I don't know what Xu Xin thinks, but if it were him, he would definitely not pick it up.

But no matter what, I can't deny that this script is a very good story.

So, he put it aside.

This film can be shot.

Next, he chose between "Youth" and "Partner", and picked up "Partner".

The film "Youth" has a strong visual sense of youth and love movies just because of its name.

He is really not interested.

I'll watch it later.

And just turned to the first page, saw a line of words:

"This story is written by Mr. Yu Minhong: "Standing on the Ruins of Loneliness, Failure and Humiliation" & "Never Say Never", as well as some interviews. The story has been written with the oral permission of Mr. Yu, but has not yet been written. authorized."

Xu Xin was a little surprised.

Yu Minhong...the founder of New Oriental School?

his story?

Subconsciously, he looked at the screenwriter column.

"Zhou Zhiyong."

Huh?

"Crazy Stone" screenwriter?

He came interested.

Many talented people came to the factory.

Although these people are only members of the screenwriter club, they didn't say that they would produce a work, so they could only shoot it for Xiying Studio.

But if someone is willing to give you the script, it means that there is already an intention to cooperate.

It seems that the Yichuang Center has achieved initial results.

He couldn't wait to open the script, and just about to read it, the phone rang.

Qi Lei called.

"Hello?"

"It's almost time to talk with Director Zhang. Now he's going back to get the negatives for us to do post-finishing. Director Xu should come over now?"

Hearing the latter sentence, Xu Xin understood what Qi Lei meant, and responded:

"Well, okay, I'll go now."

Looking at the time, it's almost 3 o'clock.

He thought for a while, picked up the script of "Partner" and walked out.

All the way to Qi Lei's office, after pushing open the door, he saw Zhang Meng who couldn't hide his joy between his brows and eyes, and Qi Lei who was smiling.

"Director Zhang."

Xu Xin greeted with a smile:

"Is everything settled?"

"Yes! Thank you Director Xu! Thank you so much!"

Zhang Meng is really not good at words, and he can't hide things in his heart.

While thanking, I stretched out my hand:

"As for the promotion, please help me a lot!"

"Uh...Okay. It's okay, Director Zhang can rest assured."

Xu Xin shook hands with him, then asked:

"Then shall we have dinner together tonight?"

"Don't eat it, don't eat it, I'll bring the movie over quickly. The soundtrack really needs to be reworked. When I get the master disc, I'll treat Director Xu and President Qi to dinner!"

"Alright, how do you get to that guide? Can someone take you to the airport?"

"Trouble, trouble..."

After a few pleasantries, after Qi Lei called a driver, Zhang Meng left in a hurry.

After he left, Qi Lei handed over a cigarette and said:

"Qin Hailu is very righteous."

"...?"

Xu Xin was a little puzzled:

"What's wrong?"

"He went back this time, and after handing over the post-finishing proofreading and distribution to us, we will pay 800,000. Qin Hailu's salary will be supplemented."

"...?"

Looking at his puzzled eyes, Qi Lei explained:

"I've always been curious that this kind of high-quality film doesn't look like it can be shot for one or two million yuan... I didn't know until later. The film ran out of money in the middle of filming, and the crew's funds were left. I bet 41 yuan. After Qin Hailu found out about this, she refunded her 800,000 yuan film salary, and Wang Qianyuan gave 30,000 yuan to her 200,000 yuan film salary. The two leading actors in this movie are paid for nothing..."

"Hey~ Then these two people are very righteous."

"Um."

Qi Lei nodded:

"So I told him that we can pay in advance for the follow-up funds of this film. If we need to make up some shots, we can also pay the funds. After all, this is a good film... and I heard that he even sent it to Tokyo , if you can be shortlisted...you have to take them with you."

"no problem."

After Li Pingdong invited "The Hawthorn Tree" to land in Tokyo as a surprise film, he will indeed attend the Tokyo Film Festival in November.

The popularity of "The Hawthorn Tree" is actually terrifying, and at that time, as a "producer", the popularity can be transferred to "The Piano of Steel".

As long as it makes the cut, it's about as good as gold-plated.

not to mention…

There is no reason why a film of this quality should not be shortlisted, right?

He thought about it secretly.

I feel quite optimistic.

"What about the publicity cost? What is the budget?"

"If it's possible, I plan to do it next year. After "The Hawthorn" is over and after New Year's Day, during the spring new film period, let's take a look and plan again. While the popularity of "The Hawthorn" has not dissipated, we will continue with another wave. But I reckon A publicity cost of six to seven million is enough. You appear as a producer, and many media channels have to rush to interview, there is no particularly high public relations cost..."

"I think it's okay."

Both of them showed their confidence in "The Hawthorn Tree" in their words.

Then Xu Xin didn't leave, sat down on the sofa in his office, and started the script of "Partner".

Qi Lei took a closer look and nodded:

"This script is quite good."

"Well... that "Golden Heist" is also good, just after reading that story, I think Ning Hao is suitable."

"Looking for him to shoot?"

Qi Lei thought for a while and said:

"It shouldn't be a problem. After all, we are in the honeymoon period with Shanghai. It shouldn't be difficult to find him to shoot... If we can bind Huang Bo and Xu Zheng again, the box office should be guaranteed."

"Xu Zheng is still looking for Headwind Investment Company."

"Um?"

Qi Lei became interested when he heard it:

"He wants to come out and do it alone?"

"Well. There are too few resources available to him in the magic capital circle. Now that the headwind is rising, he also got some news from nowhere and wants to cooperate with this side."

"Do you think it's appropriate to intervene in the factory?"

"Not for the time being. It's a bit of a corner of the magic capital. Let the headwind come first, if our factory intervenes..."

Suddenly, Xu Xin was taken aback.

Frown.

After about ten seconds, he said:

"How about setting up an investment company with our factory, Modu Factory, and Headwind?"

"..."

Qi Lei followed his train of thought and suddenly understood:

"Investors?"

He broke off a sentence.

Xu Xin nodded:

"Yes. It's still the same old tune... There are more and more artist studios now, have you noticed?"

The channels of the two matched.

"To establish a company together, the two parties share resources, and invest in filmmakers who want to work independently... Mutual benefits for both parties, is that what it means?"

"right."

Seeing that Qi Lei had fully understood the idea he had suddenly thought of, Xu Xin temporarily put down the script:

"Our factory and Shanghai Film Studio...whether you want to add money or not is another matter. These two points alone are enough. In the future, Shuangwei will also separate people like Liu Yifei and Yang Ying to set up their own studios and be responsible for their own profits and losses.

I was chatting with Yang Mi last year or the year before last. We both feel that what Sister Bing Bing does alone is something that can change the structure of the entertainment industry.

To put it bluntly, everyone earns money together, and everyone gets what they need. Artists have more freedom, and at the same time, they can help big brokerage companies buffer risks. This is something that all big brokerage firms love to see.

But when artists come out to do it themselves, what is the most troublesome thing? Nothing more than resources. So when we intervene at this time, it is a win-win model for both parties. As for the model, it is enough to follow the model of Huayi and Bona, how about it? "

"This will also allow us to cooperate more closely."

"Besides, everyone is a state-owned factory, and two brothers born to a mother, it's not easy to mess around with backstabs, right? Maybe there won't be so many conflicts in the future...Let the headwind be a buffer. The right to speak is given to the headwind, state-owned capital injection, private management, if we end up, we can do many things that the state-owned enterprises cannot do..."

"..."

Hearing Xu Xin's words, Qi Lei's expression suddenly became a little strange.

asked a sentence:

"Shuangwei is now the major shareholder of Headwind, right?"

"Uh... yes."

"Mimi is Shuangwei's big boss... right?"

"right."

"...what are you now?"

"I…"

Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, and said:

"I'm nothing."

Then, Qi Lei's expression became even weirder.

He said in his heart that you really dote on your daughter-in-law.

I have to push her to the sky.

What are you doing?

Mother Yi Tianxia?

Of course, this is a joke.

But what the two of them discussed, although it was Xu Xin's sudden inspiration, was indeed feasible.

Qi Lei thought for a while, and said directly:

"Go find Mr. Tian?"

"Let's go."

Both of them are capable of "going to heaven" at any time, and the matter that others have to report layer by layer, for the two of them, it is actually a phone call.

And found Tian Shuanghe, who seemed to have just woken up from his lunch break, and talked about it...

In less than ten minutes, everyone in the core management of Xiying Studio received a message from Tian Shuanghe:

"A meeting."

"Brother Xu, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing Xu Xin who just got into the car and leaned back on the seat with a tired face, Su Meng asked curiously.

"Cute."

"ah?"

"This year you, Brother Xu, and I will just say one word..."

"…ah?"

"tired."

Inexplicably, he was also called an "envoy". Xu Xin, who was in charge of going to Shanghai to talk to Xue Haifeng about this matter, took out the phone with a sigh.

Directly dialed Liu Momo's phone number.

"Hey. Huh...huh..."

The phone was connected, and Liu Momo's panting voice sounded.

"What are you doing?"

"Fitness. What's up?"

"Where are you?"

"Britain. Run business for your daughter-in-law."

"... what business?"

"Good Voice, what else can I have?! I'm talking about the copyright of "Good Voice" with the company here!"

"Oh~ how was the talk?"

"Hmph, you will know when I return to China and I will do the annual report. Keep it secret for now~"

Not to mention anything else, Liu Momo's voice is very proud.

Seeing this, Xu Xin didn't ask any more questions, and said directly:

"Prepare a sum of money, let's set up an investment company."

"…ah?"

"Western Film Studio, Us, Yindu, and there should be Shanghai Film Studio. It may be these four, and set up an investment company."

The big man over there, Liu Momo, frowned.

Xu Xin explained the ins and outs of the matter.

Liu Momo was speechless immediately:

"You wait for a while. You mean, you hit your head and came up with an idea?"

"Well…"

Xu Xin was stunned for a moment, then asked:

"What's wrong? Doesn't this idea work?"

"Of course it works... But, you really didn't plan it in advance? Did you think of it suddenly?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"..."

On the other side of the phone, Liu Momo wiped the sweat from his brow, looked at the morning mist full of soybean juice in Old Britain, and said:

"It's okay. Is there anything else? I'll hang up. International calls are quite expensive."

"...It seems that I called you, right? The deduction is also my money. What are you in a hurry for?"

"..."

The corners of Liu Momo's mouth twitched...

"I'll save you money, hang up. Let me think about it."

Without any explanation, she hung up the phone.

Suddenly scratched his head.

How does this kind of person have such a long head? Can you come up with such a good idea with a tap of your head?

Why is the gap so big?

Back to the Royal Garden, he finished reading both the scripts of "Partner" and "Youth".

Then I returned home on the morning of the 6th.

Yang Mi was not at home and took her sister-in-law to do yoga.

He washed his hands in the bathroom, changed into pajamas, and hugged his daughter directly in his arms.

The vocabulary that the two big babies now master is limited to mom and dad, grandma and grandpa... Oh yes, there are also Zaizai and Niuniu.

While holding his daughter in his arms, he watched his silly son chasing and biting Zaizai.

Yes, you are not mistaken.

People are chasing and biting dogs.

Yang Yang has been teething recently, drooling everywhere.

I just don’t like to wear a saliva towel, and the saliva is all over the two dogs.

This is still a good mood.

I'm in a bad mood... just like now, it's really chasing after two dogs.

Didn’t see Zaizai frightened his tail.

But Xu Xin didn't stop him either.

Boys.

It’s better to be firmer.

After hugging her daughter for a while, Yang Dalin came out of the kitchen:

"Stew pork ribs with stewed noodles at noon, okay?"

"OK."

Xu Xin nodded with a smile, then suddenly heard two beeps, and looked down:

"Ah, who's cute little fairy pupu~"

"Hee hee hee~"

The baby girl in her arms smiled slightly awkwardly.

Then Xu Xin smelled a sour smell.

Pulled away the diaper and took a look...

have to.

Collapsing fart.

He directly hugged his daughter and got up and walked into the bathroom.

As a qualified dad, it is already instinctive to change a child's diaper.

I'm used to the smell, and it's not like before, when I smelled the **** of a child, I started to retch.

Even now, he still has to look at the color of the child's pull every time to judge whether it is healthy.

While washing the child's ass, he heard a loud voice outside.

After drying his daughter's **** with a cotton towel, he saw his daughter-in-law come back as soon as he went out.

also brought sister-in-law and concubine.

And came back with two big bags.

Is this sister really going to do yoga instead of going to the supermarket?

"Yo sister, here you come?"

He greeted with a smile.

"...?"

Liu Zhishi was puzzled.

This title...how did it come out?

It wasn't the first time she came here, nor was it the first time she saw Xu Xin.

So no matter how I hear it, I feel that this name is weird.

On the contrary, it was Yang Mi who nodded approvingly to her husband with a look of "young man, you understand very well", then turned her head and said to Liu Zhishi:

"Go, take a shower."

"...?"

Liu Zhishi was speechless again.

What are these two playing?

Then, Zhang Qian with a pure face took out a plastic bag from the two pockets of snacks.

Freshly listed red dates.

"I'll go. Sanjin, this date is sweet."

"Eh."

Xu Xin responded, and then gave his wife a look.

【Don't think I don't know what you're talking about. 】

Yang Mi smiled and looked at her husband:

【Mistress, you are really smart. 】

【Hehe, flattery is useless, unless she takes me with her in the shower. 】

【What do you want to eat for the first seven, I will cook something for you. 】

After the silent communication between the couple, Liu Zhishi didn't know what happened, and asked Xu Xin directly:

"Your movie hasn't started yet?"

"No, it will start on the 8th. Are you going to make a guest appearance?"

"Hmm... okay."

Liu Zhishi nodded:

"When you need me, I will go to Xi'an."

"No, the cameo shots can be shot in Yanjing. After the indoor shooting over there, Yanjing will shoot the exterior. Just wait for me in Yanjing."

"good."

Liu Zhishi readily agreed.

At this time, Yang Mi asked curiously:

"How did you come back so quickly? I thought you had to come back at night."

"I'm back when I have nothing to do."

He picked and picked out a pack of shrimp crackers from his pocket.

Hearing the movement of packing, Zaizai and Niuniu squatted obediently in front of him.

Xu Xin took one bite for himself and one for Zaizai.

Take another sip for yourself, and another for Niu Niu.

Then take a bite, a bite, a bite...

In the "you are a real dog" eyes of the two dogs, shrugged and said:

"In the next stage, the factory plans to set up an investment company with Headwind, Shanghai Film Studio, and Yindu. It will specialize in investing in independent artist studios."

He didn't hide Liu Zhishi's intentions at all.

There is no need to hide it.

The more people know about this news, the better.

The more you have, the more you can reflect your strength.

After being stunned for a while, Yang Mi said:

"Why did you do this all of a sudden? Why didn't there be any rumors before?"

"Because I came up with the idea by patting my head."

The corners of Liu Zhishi's mouth twitched when he heard this.

Of course she knew what the news meant.

Artists want to leave the brokerage company and have a higher degree of freedom. The first thing they need to face is the problem of resources.

And resources can be resolved through fame.

But under the premise that people of the same fame compete for resources together, the level of competition is no longer limited to "acting skills, commercial value" and other things.

Competing for backers and relationships.

Or to put it more intuitively, whoever has more financial backers is stronger.

This is not the rule of the film and television industry but the entertainment industry.

And now the West Film Studio and the Shanghai Film Studio are going to jointly form an investment company?

If this news leaks even half of it...everyone in the entertainment industry will tremble.

And Xu Xin thought of such a big news by patting his head?

this…

Under her shocked gaze, Yang Mi's question pointed to the point:

"Who has the right to speak?"

Liu Zhishi was taken aback again.

yes.

How to divide the right to speak?

This news seems explosive at first glance, but in the final analysis, it is a joint venture between Xiying Film Studio and Shanghai Film Studio. How to fight for the right to speak?

If everyone is their own master, it must be very chaotic, right?

Then I heard a sentence:

"Let's take the right to speak. Maybe we need to add a bank...but it doesn't matter. State-owned capital injection and private management."

"..."

The corner of Liu Zhishi's mouth twitched...

The surprise in my heart can no longer be described in words.

But Yang Mi didn't show any surprise, just nodded:

"That's the most suitable. Is this matter settled?"

"No. Don't worry. The factory will talk to Yindu first. After the filming is over, I will see Yindu's attitude and talk to Lao Xue and the others. And this time, I plan to put the headquarters in Yanjing. "

"...?"

Yang Mi was taken aback, and asked subconsciously:

"you mean…"

A place where a company is established, certainly not for my husband to emphasize.

So what he said must have other meanings.

Xu Xin nodded:

"Well. After all, Yanjing is the place where actors get together."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the two little guys sitting on the climbing mat and biting the juice, and said with a smile:

"I've been very busy this year, especially recently, and I feel very tossed. Nuannuan and Yangyang are also growing up little by little, and they always need someone to accompany them."

Now Yang Mi understood what her lover meant.

Following his train of thought, I found that indeed... this year is quite busy.

Running around with the children, this month in the north, next month to the south.

Tossing back and forth, not to mention the inconvenience of bringing the child, but also to consider whether the little one is used to the environment and many other factors.

Although she spent most of the time in the south this year, she also felt that the toss was not light.

The investment company takes root in Yanjing. On the one hand, life can indeed be more stable. On the other hand...

Actors gather together, and there are also many capable but frustrated actors.

It is indeed more convenient to open a company here than in Xi'an or Shanghai, and the opportunities are also greater.

So, she nodded:

"That's fine. Let's do it like this~"

Stayed at home for a day and a half.

Early on the morning of the 8th, he packed his luggage and pushed the box to the door.

Wear shoes and coat.

"Kiss Dad, Dad is going to work."

Following his wife's words, Xu Xin reluctantly kissed the two children goodbye.

Finally looked at his wife:

"I am leaving."

"Well, take care of yourself over there."

After Yang Mi finished speaking, Xu Xin lowered his head and kissed the corner of her mouth:

"You too, I will go to the Northeast to find you as soon as I finish my work."

"OK~"

Saying goodbye to his wife and daughter, he pushed the box, waved to the three of them before closing the door, and went straight into the elevator.

The elevator goes down.

He looked at himself in the mirror and let out a sigh of relief.

"Hoo..."

The last big event for today.

Call it a day when you are done.

come on!
