Chapter 109 Four Projects
“Lin Gao: I’m face-blind and can’t tell whether a woman is beautiful or not.”
“Lin Gao: The actress I happened to choose is beautiful, I mean it I can’t tell whether a woman is beautiful or not!”
“MD is so angry that I want to punch him.”
“Who believes it? Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Liu Yifei, Zhao Wenqi, Di Lire. Ba is not a standout beauty in the entertainment industry, so she really deceived us like fools!”
"Being surrounded by top beauties every day, maybe you really have a strange disease called face blindness?"
"Stop talking, I'm already getting angry!"
"What a sin!!!"
……
After the interview with CCTV6 was broadcast, it aroused heated comments on the Internet, and the majority of male netizens were gnashing their teeth at Lin Gaosuan.
So irritating!
Playing games with a group of top beauties every day, and saying that you don’t know how beautiful they are, I’m so angry!
Lin Gao read the comments of netizens and understood Brother Qiang Dong’s mood. It turned out that Brother Dong was in such a sour mood at that time!
After the face blindness meme spread on the Internet, Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, and Zhao Qi called Lin Gao one after another and asked him what he thought of their faces.
Zhao Liying, who has always been self-centered, also hesitantly asked Lin Gao if she looked good?
Lin Gao praised Liu Yifei for her good temperament, Yang Mi for her charming eyes, Liu Shishi for her elegant neck, Zhao Qi for her innocence, and Zhao Liying for her cuteness.
Zhao Wenqi was overseas and made the last call. Lin Gao was speechless and praised him: "You are so coquettish."
Zhao Wenqi replied angrily: "I'm coquettish and I don't want to eat it." Your rice!”
Except for Zhao Wenqi, the girls still recognized Lin Gao’s praise.
On the ninth day of Weiwei’s release, the box office exceeded 100 million. In addition to January’s [Xi Yangyang and Big Big Wolf], February’s [Little Soldier] and [Jinyiwei], March’s [Moonlight Treasure Box], and April’s "Ip Man: The Legend of the Grandmaster" released last month is the sixth Mandarin film to exceed 100 million yuan.
Shanghai Film Group Chairman Yuan Jinmao also called to congratulate Lin Gao on the box office success. In addition to congratulating, Yuan Jinmao also asked Lin Gao about his plans for the second half of the year.
Yuan Jinmao but Lin Gao was obsessed with past glory, and did not make his second movie until two or three years later.
Lin Gao also revealed some information to Yuan Jinmao: "In the second half of the year, Lin Film Entertainment has three movie projects, and Lin Vision Entertainment has a TV series project."
Four projects?
Yuan Jinmao felt that he had heard wrong for the first time. He confirmed and asked twice. After getting the same answer, Yuan Jinmao said worriedly: "Is it too much?"
The radical Yuan Jinmao felt that Lin Gao was too radical!
"Is it much? It will be at this level every year from now on." Lin Gao said.
Yuan Jinmao was speechless and choked up. Lin Film Entertainment is not a subsidiary of Shanghai Film Studio, they are partners. He had no authority to issue orders to Lin Gao, so he said: "You should think about it carefully."
Lin Gao did not need to think about it at all. The four works were all works that have been tested by the market. What Lin Gao had to do was A perfect retelling of the story.
The four works are: TV series: [You from the Star], movies: [囧囧], [The Story of the Ex], and [Adele’s Life].
"Star You" is Lin Gao's test of industrial production, with Lin Gao serving as producer and producer.
【囧囧】is responsible for the box office, and the movie is directed by Lin Gao himself. How can a serious film and television production company not have a movie that breaks the mainland box office record?
[Predecessor Strategy] comes from Lin Gao's little "care" for Zheng Kai, and it was handed over to Zhao Ya to direct. Lin Gao took the title of producer, and he didn't want to take the title of producer.
[The Life of Adele] is a lesbian film directed by a French director. It is rated NC-17 in the United States. There are a lot of pornographic and violent scenes in the scene. Children under the age of 17 are only prohibited from watching.
The film won the Palme d'Or in Cannes in 2013 and shocked the French media. After the film won the award, France quickly established laws related to homosexuality.
[Adele's Life] is Lin Gao's main battlefield in the second half of the year. He is the director, editor, producer and producer all in one.
The choice of the two female leads in the movie has undoubtedly become a top priority.
Sentimentally, Lin Gao prefers Yang Mi. After all, he is called his father, so it would be unreasonable not to give him a role. Another leading actor, Lin Gao, prefers Liu Yifei, if for no other reason than the two of them making out in front of the camera is very touching!
With four projects launched at the same time, stabilizing funds has become a top priority. Weiwei’s box office is estimated to be less than 200 million. Calculated at 200 million, half of the revenue comes from theaters and taxes, and Shanghai Film’s promotion expenses are 6%. 44% of the box office actually went to Lin Gao.
The income of 88 million, excluding the 10 million borrowed from Zhang Chaoyang, leaves an actual income of 78 million. With a revenue of close to 900%, youth films are indeed the most profitable projects.
However, the 70 million funds obviously cannot be supported at the same time. If the four projects are operated at the same time, they will at least triple.
The Apple stock held by Lin Gao cannot be sold now. After the release of Apple 4 on June 8, Apple is rising rapidly.
Part of the funds will be used to bring film and television companies into the game, and then we can get a loan from a bank, and we should be able to get 180 million, right?
Linyi Entertainment Company, conference room.
The conference room was full of directors and artists. Lin Gao took the lead and officially announced: "The company has four projects to start in the second half of the year, three movies and one TV series."
Everyone's face showed more or less signs Looking surprised, four film and television dramas are being launched at the same time. Isn’t it too risky?
Huayi Company dares to do this, right? Our company is small, so we should be more cautious.
A long-established TV drama producer like Tangren Film and Television only produces two TV dramas a year.
Lin Yufen, Zhao Liying, Li Jiahang, and Dilraba Dilraba all raised their concerns, and Lin Gao reassured them one by one.
Lin Gao's attitude was clear, so everyone stopped talking and shifted their attention to the four projects.
The directors are all okay. The male and female artists are staring at the four scripts with bright eyes, each thinking about what role suits them.
They are sure to get roles, but they are worried that their vision is not good enough and they will not be able to choose outstanding roles.
Lin Gao said: "Let's take the script back and take a look at it. If you have any ideas, you can put forward your ideas."
Sitting on Lin Gao's left hand side, Lin Yufen said: "Mr. Lin, the four If the project starts shooting at the same time in the second half of the year, the company will definitely not have enough directors.”
Not only the director department, but also the artists are definitely not enough. The outflow of resources is inevitable. The company is too small to be closed perfectly.
Lin Gao nodded and said, "I will solve it."
Lin Yufen said no more.
A few days later, a piece of news went viral in the entertainment industry: Lin Gao will start four projects in the second half of the year.
The actor was very suspicious in his heart, but very honest in his body. If he was far away, he would try to contact Wei Lianlian, and if he was close, he would call Lin Gao directly to ask.
The crew of Beauty Scheming.
Lin Xinru was dressed in ancient costume and handed a bottle of drink to Yang Mi. Yang Mi's expression was surprised, and the heroine handed her a drink? Silently said "thank you".
"Mimi, are you familiar with Director Lin?"
Yang Mi suddenly realized that it turned out to be a set-up.
How is your relationship with Lin Gao?
Let's just say that he always wanted to be her father and she just didn't agree.
Yang Mi said calmly: "General"
She will not introduce Lin Gao to the actors in the crew. She attaches great importance to her relationship with Lin Gao. She is usually free She would make a phone call to Lin Gao. She didn't call her biological father that frequently.
She heard that Lin Xinru's thoughts were quite avant-garde. As soon as she raised her eyebrows and took off her clothes, Yang Mi felt that it was difficult for Lin Gao to resist.
"Did Lin Gao send you a script?" Lin Xinru asked without giving up. She was ranked last in "Huanzhugege" and she was worried.
"Script, what script, Lin Gao is about to start filming?"
Lin Xinru looked at Yang Mi with pity in her eyes. She thought Yang Mi was pretending not to be familiar with it, but now it seems that she is really not familiar with it!
