Chapter 849 There is no trace of fear.
Wei Lianlian’s words made Lin Gao frown.
Although he had always had room in the budget, he never expected that funding would run into problems so quickly.
"Exactly how much was the overspend?"
Lin Gao asked, a trace of anxiety flashing in his eyes.
Wei looked through the documents in his hand repeatedly and replied quickly: "It's about 15% over budget."
"Mainly because the scene is complex and we have relatively high requirements on details."
< br>"Coupled with the increased sophistication of the actors' costumes and props, the cost will also increase."
Lin Gao thought for a while.
He knew that the production of this film could not be compromised.
The precise restoration of every detail is for the ultimate quality.
“I will find a way to solve the overspending part.”
“We cannot lower the standards because of funding problems.”
“You contact the Finance Department and ask them to get it To issue a detailed expense report, I need to know the specific flow of funds."
Wei nodded repeatedly and then stood up to carry out the instructions.
Lin Gao sat on a chair, thinking about a solution.
Although the funding problem will not stall the entire project, it must be resolved as soon as possible.
While he was thinking, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Lin Gao picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from an old friend.
A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone: "Lin Gao, I heard that you are currently filming a historical-themed movie, and the funds are a little tight?"
Lin Gao was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"You are really well-informed."
"However, there is indeed some overspending."
The other party chuckled.
“I happen to have a project here that may be helpful to you.”
"If you are interested, we can cooperate."
Lin Gao raised his eyebrows slightly.
He knew that this friend had always had good resources in the field of film and television investment.
“Tell me what project it is?”
The voice on the other end of the phone became serious.
"This is an international co-production project involving the spread of Chinese culture."
"They are looking for a director with international experience to participate."
"You just meet their needs .”
Lin Gao fell into thinking.
He is no stranger to projects like this.
International co-production means a larger platform and a wider market, but it also means more coordination and compromise.
“Sounds good.”
“But I am fully committed to the filming of this movie now, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to spare the energy to participate.”
The other party smiled .
“I understand.”
"But the timeline for this project is relatively loose. They can wait until you finish shooting the movie before starting."
Lin Gao was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay, I need to know more about the specific details."
"We can meet and discuss in detail."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Gao fell deeper into think.
International cooperation projects are undoubtedly an opportunity to expand his international influence, but he also knows that it means more challenges.
Not only cultural differences, but also the interests and demands of all parties.
However, funding remains the most pressing challenge at hand.
Only when the financial problem is solved can the film be successfully completed.
The next day, Lin Gao and Wei Lian met to discuss the current progress.
"I contacted several potential investors."
Wei said repeatedly, handing Lin Gao some information.
“However, the conditions they proposed are a bit harsh.”
“Some hope to interfere with the script and even propose to change some character settings.” Lin Gao glanced at the document and frowned even more Tight.
He knows the importance of funding to the film, but he is absolutely unwilling to sacrifice the integrity of creation because of financial pressure.
“I will not accept these conditions.”
He spoke firmly.
“We cannot allow outsiders to interfere with the content and creation of the movie.”
Wei nodded repeatedly.
"I think so too."
"But the funding problem still needs to be solved."
Lin Gao was silent for a moment, thinking of his friend's proposal last night.
He knew that maybe this was the right time.
“As for that international cooperation project, I decided to accept it.”
"If we can participate, the funding problem may be solved."
Wei was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
“This decision is very wise.”
“If we can successfully take over this project, not only will the funding problem be solved, but it will also bring more international attention to the film.”
Lin Gao nodded.
"However, the details of the project still need to be further negotiated."
"We want to ensure that this cooperation will not affect the films currently in progress."
Wei Lianlian immediately began arranging arrangements with International Project contact matters.
Lin Gao knew clearly that this international cooperation was not only to solve the immediate financial problem, but also to plan for the future.
If successful, his film will not only be successful in the domestic market, but will also gain wider recognition on the international stage.
A few days later, Lin Gao had a formal meeting with representatives of the international project.
The project leader is an experienced producer who is full of interest and expectations for Lin Gao's movies.
“We appreciate your previous works very much.”
“Especially the Chinese cultural elements you integrated into the film.”
“In this cooperation, we hope to Show more traditional Chinese stories through your perspective”
Lin Gao smiled and nodded.
“I am very honored to be involved in such a project.”
“However, I hope that during the collaboration, we can maintain creative freedom and independence.”
The other party laughed He smiled, obviously prepared for Lin Gao's request.
“We fully understand this.”
"We hope that you can bring the most authentic and powerful cultural expression."
"Please rest assured in terms of funding, we will provide sufficient support to ensure the smooth progress of the project."
The negotiations between the two parties went very smoothly, and Lin Gao was full of confidence in this cooperation.
The funding problem was solved and the filming of the film was smoothly progressed.
A few months later, Lin Gao’s historical-themed movie was officially completed.
Standing on the set, Lin Gao looked at the completion of the last shot and felt filled with a sense of accomplishment.
At this moment, he knew that his efforts were not in vain.
This film is not only a tribute to history, but also a new interpretation of Chinese culture.
After wrapping up, Lin Gao and his team held a celebration banquet.
Everyone involved in the production of the film was present.
Everyone's face was filled with joy and pride.
Lin Gao raised his glass and saluted everyone.
"The success of this movie is inseparable from everyone's efforts."
"No matter what the future results are, I am proud of everyone."
The scene echoed There was a round of applause, and everyone admired Lin Gao's leadership and vision.
After the celebration banquet, Lin Gao walked out of the banquet hall and stood alone in the night.
He knows that this is just the end of a stage and new challenges are already waiting for him.
The post-production work of the film is still in progress, and international cooperation projects are about to start.
But Lin Gao was not afraid at all.
