Full-level Director

Chapter 1 I am the director

On August 23, 2016, Tianhai City, Wufang Film Industry Building, at five past ten in the morning, the front desk.

"Hi, I'm looking for the purchasing department of your company. Do you accept independent films?"

Li Yan raised her head and saw a young man who was about 1.8 meters tall and ordinary-looking, but with sharp features and sharp features asked with a polite smile, and looked a little nervous. She quickly judged that this was an honest person.

It should be the staff of which crew or something? Thinking about it, she still had a formulaic smile on her pretty face and asked, "Do you have an appointment, sir?"

"No, I came here directly." Lin Juan replied, pursing his lips.

"Then wait a moment, let me ask." Li Yan smiled politely, and then made a phone call. After a while, she put down the phone and said with a smile, "Please follow me."

Lin Juan nodded, tightened the straps of the black backpack, followed Li Yan's footsteps, took the elevator to the fifth floor, turned right, and entered an office area where everyone was busy, and didn't care about Lin Juan's arrival. After a few steps, a good-looking man in suits and leather shoes in his thirties, who was about 1.75 meters tall, with short hair sticking up his head, came over, first stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, I am from the film purchasing department of Wufang Company." Hi, my name is Fang Mu, what is your name, sir?"

"My surname is Lin, just call me Lin Juan." Lin Juan also stretched out his hand, and shook Fang Mu with some discomfort.

"Let's go to the meeting room." Fang Mu suggested, Lin Juan nodded, and couldn't help but feel good about this Wufang company. It must be a good company with such a good service attitude.

After a while, the two came to a small conference room. Fang Mu poured Lin Juan a glass of water before sitting down and said with a warm smile, "Mr. Lin, do you have a movie you want to sell to us?"

Lin Juan nodded and said, "Well, it's not about selling, it's about publishing."

"Distribution is also okay. Our company has released many blockbuster movies, such as "Stinger", "Deep Sea Behemoth", "Invisible" and so on are all released by our company. Among them, "Deep Sea Behemoth" has a box office of more than one billion. Our company's distribution system is very complete, and the charging ratio is relatively low, and we will give you a reasonable price if you consider selling the copyright." Fang Mu said enthusiastically, it is rare for someone to come to the door by himself, and they used to be them These people in the film purchasing department inquired about the finished films, and then went to buy them to negotiate terms, and they had to shop around to face the competition. Now this situation is tantamount to door-to-door meat, so of course they need to be more enthusiastic.

"However, we also need to evaluate the quality of the movie. If it is normal, we can only distribute it to you in online theaters." Fang Mu said with a smile.

Lin Juan nodded to express his understanding. The current film and television industry is quite developed. Unlike before, there are now two distribution systems in China. The evaluation is average. Movies that cannot be shown in theaters will enter online theaters for paid viewing. If the box office performance is good, the video website will buy it and put it in VIP or play it for free. If it is not good... then of course they will not buy your copyright.

Movies that are more high-quality will be recommended to enter the theaters for box office competition. Compared with online theaters, the competition in physical theaters is fierce.

"Then let's get to the point. May I ask Mr. Lin, what kind of movie is this in your hand? How much is the investment? Who is the starring role? Are there any famous people in the director and other behind-the-scenes personnel? You are the producer of this movie Do you own the full copyright of this movie?" Fang Mu took a pen and a notebook and prepared to record.

Lin Juan put his hands on the table and held the teacup, and said, "I am the director of this movie, and all the copyrights of the movie are in my hands. This is a horror movie, and I am the starring role. The investment..."

Lin Juan made some calculations and said, "About 10,000 yuan."

The cost of the three months of filming adds up... about 10,000 yuan, right?

Holding the pen and paper in his hand, Fang Mu suddenly stopped,

Looking up at Lin Juan just like that, the expression on his face clearly expressed a meaning.

Are you kidding me?

"The words from the people behind the scenes..."

"Wait, Mr. Lin." Fang Mu politely interrupted Lin Juan, and asked with a smile, "You just said that the investment for this movie is only 10,000 yuan?"

"Well, yes." Lin Juan nodded, as if he was talking about a very natural thing, but the sense of absurdity brought to others was simply destroying their three views.

God is so calm.

The corner of Fang Mu's mouth pulled up unconsciously, spread his hands, put down the pen, and asked absurdly, "How can I make a movie with ten thousand yuan? The camera costs tens of thousands."

"I took it with my mobile phone." Lin Juan looked at him and said, in fact, he understood how he felt, but what happened to the ten thousand yuan? What happened to the phone? The core of the art of film is actually telling stories on the screen. The pixels of mobile phones are still not at the level of decades ago. Why can’t we shoot? If you invest hundreds of millions of dollars, it must be a good movie?

Is it enough for him to tell a good story? For this movie, he is confident.

"Ha..." Fang Mu laughed absurdly, then he quickly covered it with his hand, and apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I couldn't help it, you just said you took the picture with your mobile phone, right?"

Lin Juan pursed his lips and nodded, "Yes."

"I'm sorry Mr. Lin, then I don't think we can reach a cooperation. Mobile movies have never appeared in the market, and our company has no cooperation business in this area. Sorry." Fang Mu stood up, shook his head and held out his hand with a smile.

Lin Juan looked at his hands, got up silently, and stretched out his hand. Fang Mu lightly touched Lin Juan and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lin, I still have something to do, please go ahead."

With that said, Fang Mu packed up his pen and notebook, turned around and was about to go outside. Lin Juan kept looking at Fang Mu, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly asked, "Mr. Fang, do you want to watch my movie?"

Fang Mu turned around and said with a smile: "No need, Mr. Lin, my time is precious, and I have other things to deal with. If you have nothing else to do, you can leave. If you don't leave, I will call the security guard."

Lin Juan nodded silently, wiped his hands on his clothes, bowed his head and said, "Remember its name."

"What?"

Lin Juan didn't say anything, just picked up his backpack and went out. Fang Mu looked at his back and laughed dumbfounded. Are you losing your temper with me?

After leaving the door, Lin Juan was unaware of the gaze cast on him. After walking a few steps, he heard someone asking, "How is it? Why did you come out so soon? Didn't we make a deal?"

"Nothing was settled. He came to the door with a video taken on his mobile phone. He said the total investment was only 10,000 yuan. It's really..." Fang Mu said with a smile, turning his head and glanced at Lin Juan's back , I don't know why, he looked at the back of his eyes, the sarcasm in his eyes gradually weakened, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

Why... is he so calm?

"Now there's really everyone."

"Yeah, it's really weird, you must be crazy about money."
