Chapter 339: Boss Lin is not short of money now! (Seeking monthly tickets and recommendation tickets)
"I'm sorry, Lin Fan, I didn't expect the investor to have such an idea. I should have been more cautious and not been so impatient to move the cooperation to the next step."
On the way back, Yang Hongxia sincerely apologized to Lin Fan. This was a work mistake. Yang Hongxia should have a deeper understanding of the employer before talking to Lin Fan about this matter. However, the employer was indeed very sincere at the beginning. No matter what Yang Hongxia asked, the employer readily agreed.
Yang Hongxia also inquired about the film production company where the investor was located, and asked friends in the circle about Mr. Li's personality and whether there were any tricks when he cooperated with others.
However, with Yang Hongxia's connections in the industry, she didn't hear any bad news. At most, the investor and their team liked to adapt the original work. But this is normal in the film industry. After all, the original work is the original work, and the movie is the movie. It is almost impossible for the original work to be made into a movie without being adapted.
The imagination that words bring to people varies from person to person, but the content that movie images can convey is limited. In the film and television industry, adaptation is an unspoken rule.
But what Yang Hongxia didn't expect was that the "adaptation" of the investors was so outrageous! Or maybe they didn't intend to adapt the story of "A Chinese Ghost Story" at all, but had already made a movie, and now they just lacked a hot spot to promote it.
"I can't blame you for this. I was also very excited after I learned about this, and wanted to discuss the details of the cooperation with the investor. I didn't realize that the cooperation they might want to achieve was completely different from what I thought."
Lin Fan was helpless. Yang Hongxia conveyed all the content of the early communication with the investor to Lin Fan. Lin Fan himself felt that this was a relatively reliable investor, and he wanted to join in with great expectations and enthusiasm, trying hard to restore the movie in his memory.
But who knew that this matter itself was just a misunderstanding?
The investor had other intentions, and Yang Hongxia and I also had our own expectations. In a moment of impulse, we almost fell into a trap!
Fortunately, this was just a negotiation of cooperation intention and no specific agreement was signed. Lin Fan was also glad that he had asked to talk to the investors, otherwise he might have been kept in the dark by the investors.
In this regard, Yang Hongxia speculated: "The employer probably thought that your request for an interview basically means you have agreed to cooperate."
Therefore, the investors mistakenly thought that Lin Fan agreed to their bold move, but was perhaps not satisfied with the copyright fee and wanted to discuss it in person, which is why they revealed their true intentions. After all, this kind of thing really needs to be discussed before signing the contract, and both parties must reach a consensus before the subsequent operations can be carried out.
Unexpectedly, the investors misunderstood Lin Fan's intentions, and Lin Fan overestimated the investors' bottom line, and they eventually parted ways unhappily.
"The film industry is really complicated." Lin Fan sighed.
"After all, there is such a huge investment and profit involved."
Yang Hongxia also sighed: "Just think about it, if you sell the words "A Chinese Ghost Story", you can earn hundreds of millions. If you didn't insist on it, would someone else agree to it?"
By selling your reputation once and letting the investors reap the benefits of your fans, you can then put the blame directly on the film producers. The fans will forgive you after they get angry, and most of them will even feel that they are also victims. This cycle is linked together, and everyone benefits except the fans.
Lin Fan secretly shook his head. This was indeed an irresistible temptation.
But this time, the investors chose the wrong person.
"I will take care of the follow-up matters, don't worry." Yang Hongxia suddenly said.
Lin Fan didn't understand: "Follow-up, what follow-up?"
The cooperation had already fallen apart, so how could there be any follow-up? Would the investor continue to come to me and insist on working with me after knowing my tough attitude?
Are all investors in this world so unyielding?
"You don't think the investors will just let go of this great publicity opportunity, do you?"
Yang Hongxia's tone was a little exaggerated. "The investor approached you with such fanfare and wanted to buy the copyright of A Chinese Ghost Story. Regardless of whether it succeeds in the end, this matter itself is a very good publicity point!"
"If their movie hasn't been finished yet, then it's fine. At most, they'll just try to take advantage of your popularity. Once the movie is finished, it won't have anything to do with you. If their movie has already been finished, do you think they'll use this to promote their new movie? First, they'll release a piece of news that they want to buy the copyright from you, then they'll release a piece of news that they can't reach a consensus on the content of the adaptation and the cooperation ended up failing. Then, someone will come out and expose the truth, saying that you didn't reach the cooperation because you were not satisfied with the copyright fee, or they'll do the opposite and expose that they wanted to modify the original work but were rejected...
Anyway, no matter what, netizens' attention will be attracted. When the new movie is finally released, how many people do you think will go to watch their new movie? Even if it's only one in a thousand, they will save a lot of publicity and promotion costs. "
Lin Fan was speechless: "Is this circle so dirty?"
The newbie was a little trembling! "Not everyone is like this, but this time the investor must be an expert. Even I was fooled by him. I have to be more vigilant next time." Yang Hongxia reflected deeply on herself.
Lin Fan was silent for a moment, a little depressed: "Is it really that difficult to turn this story into a movie?"
"Hmm? You still want to make a movie, right?"
Yang Hongxia didn't hear clearly, but it didn't matter, as long as Lin Fan had the intention, "Don't worry, if we didn't make it this time, just consider it as accumulating experience. As your fame and status grow, more and more people will come to you and ask you to make movies."
Yang Hongxia has great confidence in Lin Fan, and it is also common for singers to cross over to become actors.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
If you are good at singing, you can also act! Take Yanyan for example, she has always received many offers to act in dramas, but she herself is not very interested in acting, so she has always refused.
Male actors have a wider range of roles than female actors. Lin Fan has only been in the industry for a short time, but he became famous so quickly that before anyone could react, he had already reached another level.
Otherwise, Lin Fan might have more acting offers than Yanyan.
Lin Fan felt that what Yang Hongxia said about making a movie might not be the same as what he thought.
But what Yang Hongxia said is right. With her popularity and status rising, there will indeed be many investors or directors who will seek cooperation with her, whether it is inviting her to sing songs, act as an actor, or purchase copyrights like the investors this time, or even movies will come to her for investment. Anyway, there will always be a chance to restore "A Chinese Ghost Story" into a movie.
It's not just "A Chinese Ghost Story", there are others too. Anyway, as long as it's a movie that you remember, no matter the plot or the soundtrack, you are not allowed to change it!
If it really doesn't work, I'll just make the movie myself when I have the corresponding resources in the future!
Anyway, Boss Lin is not short of money now!
