Most importantly, Lin Yifeng is very familiar with the plot. As long as he can write a rough script and make some minor modifications, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"hiss."

"Alert type?"

Wei Yuxian was still thinking about the subject matter Lin Yifeng had chosen.

Lin Yifeng also gave him a general explanation of the concept behind "The Swindler".

In just a few minutes of narration, Wei Yuxian's expression became somewhat complicated.

"A thief as the main character?"

Will this work?

"And...your subject matter."

Wei Yuxian hesitated for a moment, then gestured for Lin Yifeng to speak again.

As the plot unfolds, both Wei Yuxian and Uncle Wolf grasp the key points.

The web series "Mao Pian" became a hit across the internet not only because of its novel perspective, but also because of its themes of "romantic thieves" and "robbing the rich to help the poor".

This resonates deeply with the public in an era where many corrupt officials commit wrongdoing.

Lin Yifeng grasped this point and thought of the low cost, so he wanted to give it a try.

Anyway, the total cost of this TV series from filming to completion was at most one million, which is probably still a larger investment compared to the original "The Swindler".

As long as it can be filmed, even if the TV series loses money, it won't be a huge loss.

"That's interesting."

Meng Ran stroked his chin, beginning to seriously consider the feasibility of what Lin Yifeng had just said.

Wei Yuxian listened with a solemn expression to Lin Yifeng's plan beside her.

"As for actors, I can find some students from film academies."

"The cost of this location is not high; basic street scene shooting is sufficient."

"For a stage play editor, just find someone with some experience, as long as the lines aren't too awkward, there won't be any problems."

"The most troublesome part is the production crew; I need Ms. Wei's help in this regard."

Lin Yifeng turned his head and stared at Wei Yuxian.

The main reason he came to see Wei Yuxian was related to the film crew.

Nowadays, if you want to shoot a TV series, you need a mature production team. It's not just about finding suitable film and television productions. Back then, there were no digital cameras for filming. Basically, you had to shoot a whole roll of film in one take, and then you could just splice it together for transitions.

These days, the biggest concern when filming a TV series is the camera crew, as this is key to saving costs.

Therefore, finding a mature production team is very important, and this point cannot be ignored.

The rest is pretty simple; Lin Yifeng can handle it by finding someone.

At this moment, Wei Yuxian also fell completely silent.

She finally realized that Lin Yifeng was very meticulous in his planning. He had basically calculated everything, and now all that was left was for Wei Yuxian to help him find a film crew.

After a moment, Wei Yuxian let out a long sigh.

"I'm convinced."

"Your mind seems a bit different from the rest of us."

"You can even come up with this kind of way to make money."

Wei Yuxian pursed her lips.

To be honest, after Lin Yifeng said that, she was really tempted.

Most importantly, she noticed that the key points Lin Yifeng mentioned were not included in the high-cost category.

Besides the production team, the most important thing when making a movie is finding actors.

Lam Yat-fung saved a lot of money just on actors.

Because it saves money on actors, few production teams are willing to take on this kind of work, which further reduces costs.

Low-cost, low-investment TV dramas can make money as long as the subject matter is novel.

To put it bluntly, Lin Yifeng's behavior is equivalent to gambling with one dollar for ten dollars. If he fails, he doesn't lose anything, but if he succeeds, he makes a huge profit. The cost of trial and error is extremely low.

Wei Yuxian was already thinking that if Lin Yifeng produced ten TV series a year in this way, as long as two or three of them became hits, he would make a fortune.

Moreover, given the current scarcity of the domestic TV drama market, this is an early entry to grab a slice of the pie.

Lin Yifeng had guessed that Wei Yuxian had noticed this money-making opportunity, so he smiled and continued to ask her questions from the side.

"Mr. Wei, what do you think?"

"Should I make a film to test the waters?"

"If it works out, you can consider investing in it later."

Wei Yuxian glanced at Lin Yifeng in front of her, then turned to Wolf Uncle beside her and complained.

"Look at this guy, he's incredibly cunning."

"They don't even want to share the first piece of the pie with me."

"They only considered bringing me in later. So, do you think I should help him or not, Uncle Wolverine?"

Wolfman smiled without saying a word.

Lin Yifeng saw Wei Yuxian taking the initiative to make arrangements for him and kept explaining.

"Mr. Wei, you're overthinking it."

"I'm not very confident about this first one either."

"Rather than the two of us losing money, I'd rather lose it all by myself."

Wei Yuxian rolled her eyes at Lin Yifeng, but continued to speak her mind.

"You."

"It would be a miracle if we lost money."

Lin Yifeng smiled but didn't say anything.

However, since Wei Yuxian has said so, there's a good chance this matter will definitely work out.

As expected, after a brief moment of thought, Wei Yuxian gave Lin Yifeng a definite answer.

In Kyoto, Wei Yuxian didn't have the ability to help Lin Yifeng invite the film crew.

This is a low-budget series, and no film studio would take on a project like this.

First, there's no profit in it.

Secondly, they wouldn't even consider it.

Wei Yuxian also suggested that Lin Yifeng make a trip to Hong Kong to see if he could hire a small film crew to come back and shoot.

These days, competition in Hong Kong is fierce; basically, every film crew is vying for a piece of the pie.

Let alone movies and TV series, as long as you pay, you can get them to make a documentary for you without any problem.
