Chapter 146: Free Shares
Ning Zhiyi called Chen Duo to report the good news that the release date of "Hidden Suspect" was about to be set.
This is a movie they jointly invested in.
Ning Zhiyi has been running an entertainment company over the years and has invested a lot of money despite being fooled by others. This is the first movie that can be released in theaters.
It hasn't even been released yet, but I'm already so excited. I called Chen Duo for half an hour.
Chen Duo said: "I will book a private theater to watch the movie after it is released."
"Hehehe, I'm just a nominal producer." When he thought about his name appearing on the big screen, he had already planned how to spread this news secretly.
Ning Zhiyi's previous muddled days in the circle were all in vain, but now he has finally made something of himself.
Thanks to Chen Duo.
I was so excited that I wanted to give shares to Chen Duo.
"No." Chen Duo ruthlessly refused. She now held a 35% stake in "Hidden Suspect." Ning Zhiyi had invested five million yuan on her behalf.
She also bought 20% of Ning Zhiyi Company's shares at a low price of 10 million.
Chen Duo is not short of money, and she should curb her friend's behavior of spending money at the slightest disagreement.
Ning Zhiyi said, "I'm doing serious business now. Many people want to invest, but I won't do it. How can I give you shares for free, and you still don't agree?"
"Even if your family owns a mine, you shouldn't use the money like this. Twenty percent is enough for me."
Ning Zhiyi chuckled and said, "I have three reasons why I must give you this share. The first is that our business is on the right track." It all started when Chen Duo introduced Xia Dan to him.
"Secondly, you can help me find some good talent. It's really weird. Following the direction you gave me, I signed more than ten artists. Now, I, the boss, am the one with the least time in the entire company. They work like they're dying, and I'm starting to make money! Don't forget the people who dug the well when you drink the water. You must accept this share."
"Third, if you marry Old Xu, I have to show some appreciation, and you absolutely cannot refuse."
After hearing his reasons, Chen Duo said, "Okay. Is there anything you need my help with recently?" If she had said this before, she would have been criticized.
After all, Ning Zhiyi is the boss of an entertainment company, and she is just a small fangirl.
But it’s hard to say now.
Because Chen Duo is not an ordinary fan. She is on the hot search list every now and then.
Ning Zhiyi is so impressed by this kind of hot search physique.
"Hey, no. If there was, I wouldn't be polite."
He hung up the phone, looking rather smug.
Everything is ready, just waiting for "Hidden Suspect" to be released.
…
After the director finished editing the film, he immediately sent it for review. Since the film was finished, Lin Huo plunged into the editing room and didn't come out for a full month.
He has a special feeling for this film because he created it when he was in college.
They also performed a play to polish the script over and over again. When they graduated, they took the script to an industry insider for evaluation. They said that the script was worth one million yuan and that they would transfer the money directly as long as he agreed.
Good scripts are a hot commodity in the film industry.
But he wanted to shoot it himself.
After that, my roommates formed a team, but they all failed miserably.
Now that short plays are popular, anyone who can act is rushing to join the crew to make money.
A group of college graduates pursued their dream of making a movie. Ten years ago, there might have been people willing to support them. But these days, everyone is so busy that they really don't have time to bother with them.
It was impossible to find any actors, so Xia Dan appeared at this time, and brought with her the gold medal agent Sister Hua in the circle, and then Lemon invested, formed a team, and directly turned the online movie into a movie.
Xia Dan also presents an extraordinary film quality. She is an important character, sometimes she glances at the camera inadvertently, with the emotions of the character in the play, and he sits on the monitor and watches, feeling creepy.
Screenwriters often change the script on the spot, not because the actors are stealing the show, but because they see everyone acting back and forth.
Inspiration came, and compared with their acting skills, the script seemed weak.
So everyone risked their lives.
The screenwriter worked hard to make changes, and the actors worked hard to dig out the character's motivations and improve the background.
Director Lin often shoots many shots, and it's not certain which set of shots will be suitable during post-production editing.
Xia Dan's title in the crew has long been promoted to Sister Dan, and her schedule is simply terrifying.
If he doesn't shoot well in one go, it would be impossible to re-record some of it later.
This kind of live inspiration and creative desire is exciting, but it is also very exhausting.
Even the male actor who acted opposite him said that this was the most tiring group he had ever been in.
There are many imaginative scripts written, but it is extremely difficult to make temporary changes during the performance.
No matter how difficult it was, he took the picture.
When he emerged from the editing room, he looked out at the blazing sun and felt a bit lost in thought about what day it was. He sat there in the sunshine for a while.
Then submit the application procedures for review immediately.
The filming of this film went really smoothly, taking 20 days and a month to edit, which was faster than he expected. As long as it is approved, it will be released online as soon as possible.
Film is indeed the art of combining light and photography. But he couldn't wait to let the public see his hard work.
When several of his buddies heard that he had "come out of confinement", they hurried over and could hardly believe that Lin Huo, the talented boy in their dormitory, who was once hailed as a candidate for the top student at Yenching University, now had an unshaven beard.
His face was gray and blue, no different from the disgusting homeless people on the street.
Hua Jie was the actual producer of this play, and she was in charge of the subsequent submission and review procedures. She and Lin Huo arrived at about the same time. Seeing him like this was also a bit shocking.
How could this movie torture people like this? It's really not easy: "How was the movie?"
"It's great!" Lin Huo said. But he hadn't wanted to watch it again for a while. After two months of being surrounded by this material, all he dreamed about was the movie.
"Have a good rest." Sister Hua said as she went to declare and go through the formalities.
The other guys originally wanted to take him out for some fun, but seeing how half dead he looked, they didn't dare to do so anymore.
Take him back to your apartment honestly, what he desperately needs now is sleep.
Lin Huo slept for two days and one night in one go. All his good friends were scared. The next day, they would come over to check his breath every five minutes.
Lin Huo was completely unaware. When he woke up, he seemed to be alive again. He shouted with full energy, "I'm hungry."
In less than half an hour, barbecue, crayfish, turkey noodles, hamburgers and cola all appeared in front of him.
He ate with relish!
The screenwriter next to him said, "Sister Hua said our film has passed the review and asked if we should wait until the winter break to release it."
Lin Huo said, "So soon?" He thought it would take at least a month, but he didn't expect there would be news in just a few days. It turned out that having someone in the court could make things easier.
After a brief thought, he said, "Let's schedule it for the first Friday of next month. Otherwise, there will be too many big productions during the holidays. Don't let our film be overwhelmed."
"Okay, I'll talk to Sister Hua now."
There aren't many good movies right now anyway. Showing it now would really add some fresh blood to the cinemas.
The screenwriter said happily, "I heard from Sister Hua that the film reviewers gave our story a very high evaluation."
"Really?" This news shocked Lin Huo. This was his own work, and he'd been a bit tired of it, so it was hard to objectively judge its quality. Hearing this news represented the first wave of viewers. It truly excited him.
"This is a 10 million dollar production," the screenwriter said. "We'll just wait for a share of the box office revenue." They all had shares, though small, but each one still had 3 percent. Lin or about 20 percent, and the rest belonged to investors.
After so much polish, this book is finally ready to see the light of day. Next up is promotion. Sister Hua is taking care of that.
