Chapter 215 "Embroidered Spring Knife", 50% profit! (Please subscribe!)

"1500 million is considered a medium-investment movie."

Han Sanping nodded in agreement and asked: "The budget is fine, but how do you plan to allocate the investment?"

"My studio invested 300 million in cash. I am also a film director, screenwriter, actor, martial arts instructor, and art consultant. Taking half of the investment is not a lot."

As the initiator of the "Xiu Chun Knife" film project.

Lin Xuan will definitely eat the biggest cake, not to mention that he also wears multiple hats and does so much work.

A new director will be paid 100 million, a well-known screenwriter will be paid 100 million, a king-level actor will be paid 200 million, and a martial arts instructor and art consultant will be given a discount of 50.

Coupled with the 300 million cash invested by the studio, it is exactly 750 million, accounting for 50% of the total investment amount.

"Half of the investment..."

Han Sanping was a little reluctant, but still nodded in agreement.

He immediately turned to look at Wang Zhongjun and asked:

"Mr. Wang, how do we divide the remaining 1200 million yuan of investment and half of the share between our two families?"

Wang Zhongjun was smiling on his face, but he was complaining in his heart.

Is this your questioning tone?

It's clearly a threat.

China Film Group has the right to introduce overseas films, which is a powerful weapon in Han Sanping's hands.

Who dares to be disobedient? When will your movie be released? I will directly show you a Hollywood movie to bite you.

At the beginning of the millennium, this trick was so destructive that mainland film and television companies were talking about it with dismay.

What's more, Han Sanping has good connections within the system and can directly influence the selection of mainland film awards.

That's why his status in domestic entertainment is so high.

Wang Zhongjun had no choice but to give in and asked with a smile on his face: "Director Han, what do you think is appropriate?"

"China Film Group holds 30% and Huayi Group holds 20%. What do you think of investing in this proportion?"

"Very good, that's it." Wang Zhongjun nodded in agreement, but couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart.

For movies made by its own directors, Huayi can only get 20% of the investment share, which is really frustrating.

"Then it's settled. I wish us a happy cooperation."

Lin Xuan smiled and raised his glass.

…………

The next morning.

Representatives of the three companies signed the contract at "Lin Xuan Studio".

For the "Embroidered Spring Knife" project, the studio invested 300 million yuan, accounting for 50% of the investment share.

For the "Blind Shaft" project, the studio invested 150 million, accounting for 90% of the investment share.

Several people have to sign the contract before the two things are settled.

The producer of the "Blind Shaft" crew is named by Li Yang himself.

"Lin Xuan Studio" sent a team to the crew to be responsible for financial and daily management.

In the original time and space, Li Yang claimed that the production cost of "Blind Shaft" was 300 million yuan.

This is pure bullshit.

Not to mention 300 million, even 150 million was more than enough to shoot "The Blind Shaft".

Lin Xuan was worried that he would take the opportunity to embezzle public funds, so his own people had to control the finances.

As for the producer of "Xiu Chun Dao", Lin Xuan still asked Chen Hong to be the producer.

Sister Hong has completed the transition from being in front of the stage to behind the scenes.

She practiced on "The World's No. 1" last year and is already very familiar with the producer's workflow.

Lin Xuan called her and told her about it, and Chen Hong agreed on the spot.

A few days later, on the set of "The Golden Family".

Chen Hong brought gifts to Lin Xuan to visit the class and successfully chatted with him about the new movie.

In order to manage the crew in an orderly manner, the producer must communicate more with the director.

Understand his thoughts and what effect he wants to achieve.

"Hello, Mrs. Chen!"

Nowadays, Director Chen's reputation has not collapsed, and the aura of the famous director's wife is still very dazzling.

So when Chen Hong came to the set, the crew all put down their work and ran outside to greet her.

The cast and crew were also excited. Even Liu Xiaoli pulled Liu Yifei to say hello and show her face in front of Chen Hong.

After exchanging a few words, Chen Hong and Lin Xuan walked into the lounge together.

"The little girl on your crew is really pretty, but she's too young."

So many actresses on the crew greeted her, but Liu Yifei's appearance was the only one that impressed Chen Hong deeply.

Lin Xuan looked through the information in front of him and said without raising his head: "Yes, I am only fifteen years old this year."

Chen Hong was slightly surprised: "You have become an actor at such a young age!"

Lin Xuan raised his head, the expression on his face was a bit playful.

"Not only is she an actress, she is also a freshman in the Nortel Acting Department this year and the youngest student since the school was founded."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Hong immediately understood that he had gone too far.

"What's her background?"

Lin Xuan whispered: "My biological father is a diplomat, and my godfather is a real estate tycoon, a billionaire."

Chen Hong recalled Liu Xiaoli's appearance, nodded and said:

"Her mother's appearance and temperament are indeed good."

Lin Xuan unfolded the information in his hand.

"Okay, don't talk about her. This is my schedule. I plan to shoot this movie like this..."

Lin Xuan told Chen Hong all the ideas in his mind, down to the smallest detail, and even drew scenes and storyboards.

Two hours later, the movie was finally settled.

Chen Hong stood up, rinsed her mouth, straightened her clothes, and put away the materials on the table.

"Then I'll leave first."

"OK Bye Bye."

Before leaving the house, Chen Hong said:

"I would like to remind you that the girl is still underage."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

"I know, so don't worry about it!"

Chen Hong waved her hand, opened the door and left.

Lin Xuan rested for a while, then got up and went to the studio to shoot.

…………

As the feelings after marriage gradually dissipated, Jin Yanxi became more and more indifferent and neglectful towards Leng Qingqiu.

He became the same as before, either wandering the streets aimlessly or eating, drinking and having fun with his friends.

Even Leng Qingqiu’s birthday was forgotten.

Even if I was reminded to hold a birthday party, I would only eat half of it and leave in a hurry.

After a few months like this, Leng Qingqiu had been heartbroken by him.

She began to regret that she did not listen to her mother's advice and insisted on marrying into this splendid prison.

While Jin Yanxi was wandering on the street, she suddenly met Bai Xiuzhu, who had returned from studying abroad, and the two had dinner in a restaurant together.

Bai Xiuzhu still didn't forget him and started confessing her love after meeting, which made Jin Yanxi feel a little elated.

As everyone knows, Bai Xiuzhu has transformed into the goddess of revenge at this time.

She wanted to pay him back little by little for the harm Jin Yanxi had done to her.

While the two were eating and chatting, Leng Qingqiu suddenly gave birth prematurely and was on the verge of life and death.

After a long journey from hell, I finally gave birth to my child.

Some people slandered Leng Qingqiu for having a child out of wedlock, and even doubted the identity of the child's father.

When she was most helpless, she wished Jin Yanxi could stand up and speak for her, but he remained silent.

Jin Yanxi's reckless behavior finally angered his father, thus cutting off his source of income.

He ignored that his wife was in confinement, woke her up, made a fuss, and said many hurtful words.

From this moment on, their marriage was in name only.

At this time, the Bai family gathered forces to launch a counterattack, and successively won many important government positions.

Master Jin quickly asked for help, but he didn't expect that those old friends would also side with the Bai family.

He was so angry that he suddenly fell ill from a cerebral hemorrhage, while all four of his sons were living and drinking outside.

In the end, Master Jin sadly passed away, and only his first wife and daughter-in-law Leng Qingqiu stayed up all night to keep vigil for her.

After the memorial service was held, the sons discussed dividing the family property. And Jin Yanxi found that since his father's death, those friends and friends did not respect him as much as before.

He understood the importance of power, so he began to pursue Bai Xiuzhu.

Looking at Jin Yanxi who spoke softly to herself, Bai Xiuzhu finally tasted the taste of successful revenge.

She regained her original personality and became unruly and willful again, losing her temper with Jin Yanxi from time to time.

Now without her father's support, Jin Yanxi could only grit her teeth and endure it silently.

…………

Early July, filming location.

Liu Yifei was wearing a cheongsam and had long, slightly curly hair, and told her plan with an indifferent expression.

"It's a joke, how could I not get married? I hate you so much!

I hate him for being irresponsible to me, hate him for breaking up with me, hate him for marrying Leng Qingqiu, hate him for having a child with someone else..."

"Ka! This one passed, Yifei did a good job."

After filming a long scene, the director gave her a rare compliment.

Lin Xuan was sitting on a chair reading a script when Liu Yifei walked over with her head held high.

"How about it? I acted pretty well in this part."

Lin Xuan said without raising his head: "The acting is good, but you have to clearly distinguish between the inside and outside of the play.

You always act arrogant when you talk to anyone now. No wonder your mother wants to beat you. "

Liu Yifei stuck out her tongue in embarrassment: "Hey, if you get too deep into the drama, it's easy to not get out."

Getting too involved in a drama is a common mistake among laymen.

As long as you have studied acting systematically, you will have a way to get into the show quickly and get out of the show quickly.

Lin Xuan told her this truth without taking his eyes off the script in his hand.

When Liu Yifei saw this, she frowned and felt a little unhappy.

"What are you looking at, so serious?"

"Of course it's a script. I have to prepare well for the showdown in the afternoon."

Jin Yanxi, a scumbag, actually chose to abandon his wife and children and go to live in Germany with Bai Xiuzhu in order to live a life of spending money freely.

After Leng Qingqiu learned the news, she took the initiative to file for divorce.

However, Jin Yanxi criticized her and blamed her for wanting a divorce after seeing the decline of the Jin family.

She even transformed into a desktop cleaning master and smashed her favorite lily.

Liu Yifei has been on the set these days and knows which scene he is talking about.

"Hey, Jin Yanxi is so bad. When I read the script, I wanted to kill him with one shot."

Lin Xuan agreed with her statement: "Yeah, I kind of regret taking this drama.

You said that when the TV series is aired, I won't be scolded by viewers across the country, just like An Jiahe. "

At the end of last year, "Don't Talk to Strangers" starring Mei Ting and Feng Yuanzheng was broadcast.

Feng Yuanzheng played the domestic violence man An Jia He superbly.

As a result, I was often insulted when I went out, just like Grandma Rong back then.

He was scolded and beaten because of his good acting skills. Do you think he was unjust?

Liu Yifei smiled evilly and said, "I think it's very possible."

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes at her: "Don't laugh, Bai Xiuzhu is not a good person. If I get scolded by the audience, you won't be able to forgive me."

"No way." Liu Yifei pouted.

…………

In order to perform the afternoon scene well, the director took a half-day off.

Let the two actors practice more in private and find their condition.

On the set of the production, many actors were crowded at the door of the room.

There will be a "big show" later, and everyone is ready to watch the two of them having fun.

The film crew was ready, and the director shouted: "Every team is in position, three, two, one, action!"

Leng Qingqiu was wearing pajamas and sitting blankly by the bed.

When they got married, they thought they were the happiest people in the world.

However, just over a year later, it was still in this bedroom that the two of them had their final showdown.

Jin Yanxi was neatly dressed, holding her suitcase and packing her things quickly.

Leng Qingqiu didn't care, as if he couldn't hear or see anything.

"Wait a moment!"

Jin Yanxi was about to walk out with her suitcase when Leng Qingqiu called out to him.

"where are you going?"

"I gotta go!"

"Are you going to Germany?"

Jin Yanxi turned around slowly.

The two looked at each other, but they felt indescribably sad.

Perhaps at this moment, Leng Qingqiu still had a glimmer of hope for him.

"Correct!"

One simple word completely shattered her hopes.

Leng Qingqiu nodded unconsciously, and his eyes immediately turned red.

She raised her arm, pulled the ring off her finger, and said word by word: "Take this with you too!"

After saying that, she moved her fingers slightly and the ring fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Jin Yanxi broke her guard and asked bitterly: "Is this the only one?"

Leng Qingqiu was puzzled: "What else on me is yours?"

Jin Yanxi threw down her suitcase, angrily grabbed her hand and came to the dressing mirror.

Leng Qingqiu was still confused at this time.

Jin Yanxi looked at the mirror and said: "Look, take a good look in front of the mirror..."

From the beginning to the end, is there anything that does not belong to the Jin family?

Which one is from the Leng family? Look! "

Hearing these words, Leng Qingqiu turned his head in disbelief, and tears immediately poured out.

She never dreamed that the man who once made her happy, created surprises for her, and said that he would love her for the rest of his life could actually say such things.

At this moment, her heart died and she was completely desperate!

Leng Qingqiu closed his eyes slightly.

Anger, unwillingness, regret... countless emotions surged inside.

"Snapped!"

Leng Qingqiu slapped him hard.

Jin Yanxi said nothing and let her run out of the bedroom crying.

"Crack!"

In front of the monitor, director Li Dawei also burst into tears.

As the director of this drama, he watched with his own eyes how Jin Yanxi and Leng Qingqiu went from acquaintance, acquaintance, love, love, to marriage.

The two were originally a golden couple, but now they have ended up like this, which is really heartbreaking and regrettable.

The actors who were watching, especially the actresses, all started to shed tears when they saw this scene.

Even Liu Yifei cried sadly, not to mention Dong Jie who was already in the drama.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, suppressed the pain in his heart, turned around and held her in his arms.

Dong Jie hugged him tightly and cried harder.

A few minutes later.

Everyone's mood gradually calmed down.

Director Li Dawei said: "This is passed...you two performed very well."

"Clap clap clap..."

"You guys did a great job."

The actors applauded the two excitedly.

Lin Xuan let her go, and Dong Jie burst into laughter.
