Bringing money into the group (recommendation votes will be added)
Under the expectant eyes of Wu Jing and his wife, Lin Ye slowly said: "If I invest, then I must be the investor, right?"
"right!"
"That's right."
"As an investor, can I choose my own role?"
Lin Ye stated his purpose.
If it had been before, Wu Jing would have told the investor to get lost if he heard such a request!
But now, he is no longer willful. Lin Ye is an actor, and it is normal to have roles he wants to play.
He is not like Li Yang or Ju Fang, who doesn't understand movies at all, but insists on inserting a relative or popular star into the movie.
So Wu Jing agreed without hesitation: "Okay, you can act whatever you want to act!"
"Well, I am that character, the one who was kicked away by you in the script."
"?"
Wu Jing was confused!
After working for a long time, you just want to play a supporting role who gets beaten?
What Lin Ye was referring to was the little villain who insulted the families of soldiers, made Wu Jing so angry that he took off his military cap, and kicked him until he vomited blood.
He was a little confused about Lin Ye's thoughts: "You invested so much money to play such a small role?"
Lin Ye nodded seriously: "Yes, you don't have the money to pay me anyway, so why should I work hard to play the main role?"
After Wu Jing heard this, he understood Lin Ye's true thoughts.
"That's true."
"Well, when it's time to shoot that scene, I'll call you and it will be done in one shot."
Lin Ye nodded: "Yeah, okay."
Then, the two went to a lawyer to get an investment contract.
The contract is very strict and all risks and rewards are clearly listed.
The return on investment of a movie is generally more than twice its investment cost.
Here we exclude bad movies and particularly popular movies.
For the movie Wolf Warrior, it is definitely the latter.
Having already invested 50 million, and with Lin Ye's timely investment of 70 million, Wu Jing is confident that he can finish filming the remaining two-thirds of the scenes!
And this time, he learned a lesson and will not waste money on unnecessary places.
A total investment of 120 million, according to the investment ratio, Lin Ye can get 58% of the final net profit of the film.
That is, after the theater divides the box office, the remaining money can be divided into the box office.
That’s incredible, Lin Ye gets excited just thinking about it!
If this movie can sell 5 billion at the box office like its previous life...
To calculate his net worth, we have to use the unit of ‘100 million’!
This is why Lin Ye dared to stud all his deposits directly.
Compared to the money I earned from writing songs before, writing songs is child’s play!
No wonder the big guys like to start companies and invest.
After gradually opening his horizons, Lin Ye suddenly realized how terrifying Boss Yang's courage was.
He was not aware of this before, but now that he is gradually thinking about these things, he realizes how much risk he needs to take if he wants to be a good boss and a qualified investor.
…
A month later, in a tropical rain forest.
Wu Jinghao recalled the starring actors and staff and restarted the filming of "Wolf Warrior"!
The shooting equipment is - six domestic DJI drones!
Its lens and intelligent processor can lock the actors and fly together at low altitude, and even automatically bypass the bamboo forest!
The actors were all dumbfounded when they saw the newly arrived equipment!
"Damn it, it's so high-tech!"
"How much does it cost?"
"Director Wu, did you go rob a bank?"
In response, Wu Jing just smiled lightly: "Someone has invested, so you don't have to worry!"
…
The filming progress was progressing rapidly. Wu Jing was holding a walkie-talkie and constantly narrating the scenes to the actors.
"You have to hold the gun like this, isn't it a joke if you hold it like that?"
"Don't jump over here too quickly..."
"Yu Nan, slap me later."
As one scene after another was filmed, the actors became more and more shocked!
Because Wu Jing even brought helicopters, tanks, combat vehicles, all of these!
Here's what he said: "Special effects are too expensive, so let's do the real thing."
What a great way to save money! Where are the savings you promised?
No one can understand him, everyone just treats it as a job. Only his wife Xie Xiaonan knows that Wu Jing really loves this solo directorial debut of his.
…
In this month, Lin Ye has not been idle at home.
After all, he only had two million left in his pocket, so he couldn't lie at home waiting for Wu Jing to finish filming "Wolf Warrior" and then release it and split the money.
Because of this process, I don’t know how long it will take.
We are only a third of the way through shooting of the movie, and it is probably a long way from completion.
Therefore, this month, Lin Ye has been busy on variety shows.
Why?
Because variety shows make money quickly!
This summer, the recording of "China's Good Business" began, and Lin Ye went to be Zhou Xiaolun's supporting guest for an entire episode, providing advice and guidance to his students.
After recording the show every day, the two would play black and white games in the hotel.
He also brought a student with a good voice to play black games together...
The contestants stay up all night every day, and their voices are hoarse. It's hard to hear when they go on stage to sing!
Lin Ye asked him why.
Zhou Xiaolun said: "Don't take this kind of show too seriously. After this season is finished, I won't be here next season."
"What about these players? This may be their only chance to become famous."
Faced with Lin Ye's worries, Zhou Xiaolun said: "I will take these eliminated students to my concert."
The King of Heaven is indeed the King of Heaven.
He treats his fans and students very well and takes them to concerts, which is really great!
This is not a false promise like thirty-two tours without seeing a single event.
Lin Ye nodded with clear eyes, and then refocused on choosing a hero.
"What are you trying to do with me?"
Zhou Xiaolun suggested: "Just don't play stone man."
"Okay, then I'll play with the big bug. I want to grow infinitely bigger!"
"OK, I'll control the little dragon when the time comes. Remember to come over and eat."
…
Twenty minutes later, Lin Ye's little bug was not as big as Zhou Xiaolun, the sword master who took the steel potion...
His teammates couldn't stand it for a long time and started spraying Lin Ye like crazy!
"You can't eat the big bug you're playing with, or is the R key broken?"
To be continued...
