Chapter 234 Zhang Jizhong publicly apologized and auditioned for "Dragon Movie"! (Please subscribe!)

Two days later, Lin Xuan finished reading the project book of "Dragon and the Eight Parts".

Dozens of pages were filled with small words, all notes he took while reading.

Except that Duan Yu is played by him, this version of the project book is no different from the original time and space.

There are many bright advantages, but also many shortcomings.

Lin Xuan's notes cover all aspects of the scene, filters, storyboards, plot, lines, actors, etc.

The entire project book has been optimized.

In the courtyard, assistant Qian Ze poured him a new pot of tea.

Seeing Lin Xuan immersed in revising the project document, he was a little confused.

"Boss, are you really planning to join the cast of "Dragon Movie"?"

The conflict between Lin Xuan and Zhang Jizhong was very heated at first.

Now that the two parties are cooperating again, criticism will inevitably arise.

As a work assistant, he must give a reminder.

Lin Xuan knew what he was worried about, and shook his head helplessly:

"There is no better project than this invitation from Sister Hua. I am the best among the dwarfs."

"Dragon Babu" is a dream top resource for newcomers.

But to Lin Xuan, it was just a piece of chicken ribs, and it was a pity to throw them away if they were tasteless.

If he could find better resources, he wouldn't need to star in the show. Direct investment in the show would also save Zhang Jizhong's predicament.

Isn't there nothing better?

"I understand, I'm just worried that it will cause criticism, after all..."

They held each other's hands just after the quarrel. The outside world would definitely not understand.

Lin Xuan smiled and reassured him: "The studio has already started making plans in advance.

As soon as the news comes out, they will take the initiative to intervene and guide the direction of online public opinion, and there will be no problem. "

Whether something is right or wrong depends on which angle you look at it.

As long as the studio intervenes in time, this disturbance will be nothing at all.

Qian Ze thought for a while and suggested: "In addition to intervention from our side, we also need cooperation from Zhang Jizhong."

"Don't worry, Lao Zhang is very cooperative now."

Zhang Jizhong was even willing to let go of control of the crew, and it didn't matter if he softened his words to the media.

…………

In the evening of the next day, Lin Xuan invited Zhang Jizhong and Wang Zhongjun to the courtyard.

"Director Lin, I hope to hear your good news!"

As soon as he entered the door, Lao Zhang was eager to know the result.

"Producer Zhang, don't worry, wait until Mr. Wang comes."

Lin Xuan deliberately teased him without telling him the result.

"It's really appetizing."

Zhang Jizhong had no choice but to sit and drink tea.

However, he could still guess something from Lin Xuan's tone.

A few minutes later, Wang Zhongjun rushed to the courtyard.

"You called us together, so we should be ready to invest in the show."

If you just refuse, just make a phone call. There is no need to gather people together and pay for a meal in vain.

Lin Xuan smiled and nodded: "That's right!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jizhong clapped his thigh excitedly, stood up and shook Lin Xuan's hand:

"Thank you, thank you Director Lin!"

The crew's capital chain suddenly broke. In order to attract investment these days, his hair turned gray from worry.

"You're welcome, this is a mutually beneficial thing."

"How to calculate the investment share? The remaining 30 million will be half for each of our families?"

Wang Zhongjun is more concerned about this.

He is now following Lin Xuan closely. As long as Lin Xuan is willing to invest in a project, he will follow without any thought.

This reminded Lin Xuan of the funny scene in Zhou Xingxing's movie "The Mermaid".

[No matter how much money they offer, I will follow suit, and the price will always be the same...]

"Don't worry, you guys sit down first."

Lin Xuan didn't answer, and asked them to sit down and drink tea first, and then went back to the room to get the revised project book.

"I have revised the project document, please take a look."

Zhang Jizhong spread out the plan, and Wang Zhongjun also sat over to read it.

“There have been many changes, and the budget has increased to 4500 million.

The extra 10 million investment share will be given to CCTV. They have said hello in advance.

As for whether the Film and Television Department, the Literature and Art Department, or the International Television Corporation will invest the money in the end, it all depends on their internal decision. "

Lin Xuan cooperates very closely with CCTV, even closer than Huayi.

If there is an opportunity to make money, even if Huayi is left behind, it is impossible to leave them behind.

After all, if you want to mix in the circle, you must have a backer behind you, so that you can move forward steadily.

Lin Xuan, a third-generation poor peasant, did not have such resources, so he could only take the initiative to make friends with some key people.

"CCTV... okay."

The two looked at each other and nodded in agreement with Lin Xuan's plan.

Although CCTV's participation in the investment will share their profits, it will also allow the drama to enjoy many hidden benefits.

Super high ratings are just the most inconspicuous one.

"In that case, I wish us a happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

After the matter was settled, Lin Xuan invited them to the restaurant for dinner.

"Let's go and try my chef's skills together."

…………

The next day, representatives from the four investors came to 'Lin Xuan Studio' to sign the contract.

After the contract was signed, Zhang Jizhong finally breathed a sigh of relief and finally let go of the big stone in his heart.

The news that Lin Xuan and Zhang Jizhong confirmed their cooperation was in the newspapers within two days.

The media and netizens were shocked.

【what's the situation! Didn't they have a falling out? Why did they start working together again? 】

[I don’t know, there was no trouble at all before. 】

[Is there anyone in the industry who can tell me? 】

[As an industry insider, I said I couldn’t understand it, but I was shocked. It can only be said that people in the entertainment industry only care about profits. 】

[There are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends, only eternal interests. 】

This incident caused widespread discussion.

It just so happened that Lin Xuan's vacation was over and he started his business performance schedule.

The reporter who got his itinerary took notice and rushed to the commercial performance venue in advance to block people.

On the stage, Lin Xuan finished his performance and waved goodbye to the audience around him.

He changed his clothes and left the venue under the escort of security.

But both sides of the exit were already crowded with media and fans.

"Lin Xuan, can I ask you a few questions?"

"It's only a few minutes, it won't take too long."

"Brother Xuan, can you sign your name for me?"

"Brother Xuan, please sign your name for me. I'm a foreigner and it took me three hours to get here by train."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan slowed down and took the pictorial from the female fan.

"A three-hour train, is it true?"

"Really, my family is from xx city. If you don't believe me, let me show you my ID card."

Lin Xuan smiled, took out a signature pen to sign, and sent a blessing.

Regardless of whether what she said is true or false, anyone who hears it will be moved.

"Here you go. Go back and study hard, and don't run so far alone in the future."

"Thank you, Brother Xuan. Brother Xuan, I love you."

The female fan held the signed pictorial, her face flushed with excitement.

Other fans were envious and squeezed in as hard as they could.

"Brother Xuan, please sign your name for me too. I got up at five o'clock in the morning and came here to queue up." Seeing that he was soft-hearted, these people immediately changed their strategy and started selling miserably.

Lin Xuan signed and walked forward.

The media reporters were left aside and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Someone held up the microphone and asked again: "Director Lin, can I interview you for a few questions?"

Lin Xuan said without raising his head: "Well, ask."

Hearing this, the reporter was very excited, cleared his throat and asked:

"You and Zhang Jizhong had conflicts before. Why did you invest in his "Dragon Movie" and serve as the starring and producer?"

The entire project document had been changed beyond recognition, and it was unjustifiable not to give him the position of producer.

"Producer Zhang and I have known each other for a long time and are very good friends. The so-called conflicts are all made up by your media out of context."

Conflicts within the circle are resolved privately and cannot be brought to the surface.

This is also a well-known unspoken rule in the entertainment industry.

No matter what reporters asked, Lin Xuan insisted on his statement.

There is no conflict between the two, and what Zhang Jizhong said during the interview was just a joke.

Lin Xuan was very tight-lipped, and reporters didn't ask anything from him until he left the venue.

Not only him, Zhang Jizhong also made no breakthroughs.

“What I said during the interview was just a harmless joke with no malice.

After saying this, I called Lin Xuan to apologize to him, but Lin Xuan laughed it off generously.

He and I have always been friends, often eating and chatting together, and even attended his housewarming party.

As for the contradictions, they are all made up by the unscrupulous media. "

The reporter was unwilling to give in and said: "The ratings of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are less than half of "The World's Best".

Many netizens also said that the success of "Swordsman" was entirely due to Lin Xuan. What do you have to say about this? "

This problem is to poke Zhang Jizhong's lung tube with a needle, and anyone with a temper will get angry.

However, he had done a good job of psychological construction. Not only was he not angry, he even praised generously:

"Lin Xuan is the king of mainland film and television and a leader of the new generation. It is not a shame to lose to him.

On the contrary, it proves that there are a large number of talents in the mainland film and television industry, which is a great thing for the entire industry. "

The two people's answers were discussed in advance, and they were all clichés that couldn't be faulted.

The reporter ran twice and found nothing.

But the media is the media, and even if the two of them don't say a word, they will publish articles based on their guesses and conjectures.

Soon, the headline [Zhang Jizhong admitted defeat and apologized to Lin Xuan] appeared in entertainment newspapers.

The article starts from the beginning of the incident and slowly deduce the middle process.

Finally, it was concluded that [Zhang Jizhong apologized to Lin Xuan through Wang Zhongjun].

I have to say that these reporters and editors are quite capable.

Although all the details in the middle are made up, the overall direction and conclusion are not wrong.

Things started to spread, and Lin Xuan fans were very happy.

[If you know you have made a mistake, correct it. There is no greater good than that! 】

[Zhang Jizhong is on the right path. Only by following idols can he make good dramas. 】

[As long as he doesn't mess around and gives Lin Xuan the decision-making power, the show will be stable. 】

There are also fans of Lin Xuan's drama discussing "Dragon Movie".

[Lin Xuan plays Duan Yu! He's handsome, has a good temperament, knows martial arts, and can't fault him at all. 】

[By the way, he has played the leading role in several Jin Yong dramas. 】

[No matter how many roles he has played, I am already looking forward to "Dragon". 】

[Lin Xuan’s good looks and martial arts temperament make him definitely the best actor in Jin Yong’s dramas. 】

The official announcement of the new drama is that it is an adaptation of Jin Yong’s original work.

This has made countless celebrities take notice and try their best to get closer.

"Dragon" has many supporting characters.

For many unknown actors, they are satisfied if they can participate in a supporting role.

Lin Xuan has hundreds of numbers stored on his cell phone.

Those actors with whom he has a moderate relationship can only be contacted by phone.

But he treated everyone equally and helped no one, putting all the responsibility on Zhang Jizhong.

He is the chief producer and is in charge of everything on the crew. If you want a role, go to him.

…………

Late September.

Lin Xuan sat in the courtyard eating watermelon and casually responded to the requests on the phone.

When he hung up the phone, he heard the sound of high heels coming from outside the yard.

"It's high heels again."

Lin Xuan was speechless.

I don't know which bastard spread rumors that he loves black stockings and high heels.

From then on, they dressed like this every time they came to the courtyard or visited the crew.

Although big fish and big meat are delicious, I feel tired of eating them every day, so I can’t change them.

Yan Danchen walked around the wind and rain corridor and appeared in front of him with a smile.

"Honey, I miss you so much."

She jogged a few steps and hugged Lin Xuan's neck.

"Didn't we just meet the day before yesterday? You miss me so quickly."

During the few days Lin Xuan was on vacation, they took turns staying here, and they never gave him a day off.

"Not seeing each other for one day is like three autumns."

The two of them fell in love for a while, then Lin Xuan picked her up on his lap and fed her watermelon.

Yan Danchen took a few bites and asked with a smile:

"Dear, has the heroine of "Dragon Movie" been confirmed?"

Lin Xuan had already guessed her purpose.

But it's a pity that, except for those who have been in the game, he has no plans to adjust the original cast, including Liu Yifei's Wang Yuyan.

She acted pretty well. Although her acting skills were a bit poor, she was good-looking.

Nowadays, the audience is all about appearance, so why should he add superfluous changes.

What's more, in order to settle Wang Yuyan, Chen Jinfei spent a full five million.

This price far exceeds the market price.

Not to mention the leading female role in a TV series, even the leading female role in a movie is more than enough.

In the original time and space, Chen Jinfei followed Zhang Jizhong's path.

Now, only Lin Xuan is eligible to enjoy this fee.

"Sorry, sure!"

"Huh? It's only been a few days. You haven't even auditioned yet and it's confirmed?"

Yan Danchen was greatly disappointed and quickly asked: "Who is it?"

"Well...Liu Yifei!"

"Why is it her again!" Yan Danchen frowned and looked at him suspiciously: "Can you..."

Lin Xuan rolled his eyes at her: "What are you thinking? She is just an underage girl. I don't want to go in and step on the sewing machine."

"Then why on earth? Counting this drama, you have collaborated with her in three dramas, more than me!"

"Come here. She is..."

Hearing this, Yan Danchen's eyes lit up.

"Five million! This is too much!"

Lin Xuan said proudly: "This is just the market price for the drama I am starring in."

"Look at your arrogance! Who is her godfather? He can give out so much money casually."

At the beginning of the millennium, when wealth statistics were not so scary, billionaires were already considered rich.

If you can easily spend five million to buy characters, they are at least one billion level.

"Real estate developers in the capital! Housing prices have been rising in the past two years, with prices rising every half a year. The wealth of these people has also increased."

"No wonder. Her mother must be very beautiful. Show me her some other time."

"so so."

Lin Xuan doesn't think Liu Xiaoli is very beautiful, it's more about her status and feelings.
