Chapter 1079 Investors
Su Yun studied the three scripts selected by her husband for a while, and it took a week to finally decide which movie to make next.
It's not that she makes a fuss, but that choosing a script is really important to an actor, even more important than the multiple-choice questions in the college entrance examination.
Choosing a good work can make the actor soar into the sky, gain both fame and fortune, and enjoy bonuses for several years or even ten years; but if you choose a bad work, not only will you be criticized, but even affect the The actor's future acting career.
These things are very common in the entertainment industry, and every year there will be a few lucky children who are favored by the god of fate and unlucky ones who are kissed by broom stars.
Although everyone knows the importance of scripts and characters, not everyone has a pair of discerning eyes. This is also an important reason why she always asks her husband for advice every time she chooses a script.
It is precisely because she has acted in several good works before that she is extra cautious when choosing scripts, for fear that the efforts of the past few years will be in vain.
An actor may need many works to prove his strength, but often only one work is needed to destroy himself.
After deciding on the script, she immediately got in touch with director Zhang Yuewen and personally informed the other party of her decision to show her sincerity in playing the role.
"Hello Director Zhang, I'm Su Yun."
Although she has not worked with the other party before, she has met them at film festivals and awards ceremonies, and greeted each other politely, so she must be an acquaintance.
"Hello Su Yun, I have been waiting for this call for a long time, have you read the script I gave you? How is it?" Zhang Yuewen asked impatiently.
This is a script he and an old partner adapted from a novel, and they have high hopes. Su Yun is the best choice for the heroine in terms of image and acting skills.
In fact, when he saw the heroine in the novel, the first thing he thought of was Su Yun.
Of course, this has an inseparable relationship with the opponent's popularity in recent years.
There are many works, a lot of traffic, high popularity, and good acting skills. Such actors will naturally be considered first.
Let me ask, who doesn't want to follow the light?
This is also an important reason why he invited the other party to play the leading role.
"Director Zhang, I have finished reading the script and the original novel, and I accept your invitation." Su Yun said.
"Really? Great!" Zhang Yuewen said excitedly.
A popular actor never lacks invitations from the crew, and it is also a kind of luck for the other party to choose him from many scripts.
Moreover, the related work is almost ready, the lead actor and supporting roles are already in place, and the heroine is waiting. Su Yun's reply can make the whole crew work a big step forward.
"Su Yun, if you have any request, just ask, and I will definitely meet it." Zhang Yuewen said quickly, expressing his sincerity.
"Director Zhang, has the film's funding problem been resolved? Do you still need funds? If necessary, I can provide some," Su Yun said.
Ok?
Zhang Yuewen was slightly taken aback, a little confused about what the other party meant.
For movies, funding is indeed a big problem, and it is a problem that cannot be avoided.
No funds, no actors, no funds, no equipment, no funds... In short, it will be difficult to move forward.
Regarding this movie, he also spent a lot of effort and owed countless favors to attract a few investors, barely meeting the minimum standard.
If someone is willing to invest, he is of course happy. After all, for a film, the more funding, the better.
But what happened to Su Yun made him a little confused. After all, such things as bringing money into the group are usually the exclusive property of actors who enter the group through the back door.
And Su Yun was not only invited by him, even the movie needs to be promoted by the other party's exposure, so there is no need to pay for it.
Could it be that he has taken a fancy to the prospect and money scene of this movie?
He really wanted to ask the reason, but thought again, even if he had asked, wouldn't he still have to agree in the end?Besides, this is a good thing that the pie in the sky, why ask so clearly?Just accept it.
"Okay, when you have time, let's meet and discuss in detail." Zhang Yuewen said.
It's not convenient to talk about this kind of thing on the phone, and it's not clear.
What's more, besides the investment, there are other things to discuss, such as salary, salary, script, etc. If we finish the discussion earlier, we should start working earlier, right?
"I have time now." Su Yun said.
Before making this call, she had already set aside today's time. Even if she couldn't meet today, she would use it to study the script and integrate into the role faster and better.
"How about this, I'll talk to other investors first, and then send you the location of the meeting address." Zhang Yuewen thought for a while and said.
Adding an investor will dilute the share of other investors, so it is necessary to seek the opinions of other investors first.
"OK, all right."
"Then I'll see you later."
"See you later."
After the call, Su Yun put the phone away.
In just a few minutes, the mobile phone received a message from Zhang Yuewen. She called her assistant Huang Xiaorong, and they left the company together.
The address is a high-end restaurant, not far from the studio, and it takes only ten minutes to drive there.
When Su Yun got out of the car, she immediately saw Zhang Yuewen standing outside the door. There were two fat middle-aged people behind him. The three of them were talking about something unknown.
"Director Zhang!" Su Yun walked over and took off her sunglasses.
"Su Yun, long time no see. I remember the last time we met was last year..." Zhang Yuewen immediately stepped forward to greet her, and shook hands warmly with a familiar look.
The entertainment circle is like this, whoever is popular will fawn on others, whoever is miserable will step on him, whoever is popular will be good friends with whomever, and whoever is miserable will be a deadly enemy with whomever.
Su Yun nodded with a smile.
At this time, the two middle-aged people behind came over, their faces were full of joy, and one of them touched Zhang Yuewen with his hand, as if he wanted the other party to introduce him quickly.
Zhang Yuewen looked a little embarrassed, but finally started to introduce, "Su Yun, these two are the investors of this movie, Mr. Wang and Mr. Li. When they heard that you promised to be the heroine of the movie, they put down their work happily. Just come over."
"Hello, Su Yun, I've heard of you for a long time. I'm Wang Yang, the general manager of Yangxuan Investment Company..." After speaking, I couldn't wait to reach out my hand.
Su Yun thought for a while, she had never heard of this company's name, but out of politeness, she shook hands with the other party.
Wang Yang grabbed it and held it tightly, and did not let go for a long time.
Su Yun frowned, and pulled her hand back forcefully.
Another Li Boss, Li Dehua, couldn't wait to push Wang Yang aside, and while holding Su Yun's hand, he said, "Su Yun, I'm the general manager of Huajiang Group, and my name is Li Dehua. It's really great that you can join this movie." Well, originally I didn't have much confidence in Lao Zhang's movie, but with you here, I believe the movie will be a hit, and I am willing to invest more."
"I'm also willing to add more." Wang Yang just said not to be outdone.
Su Yun didn't say anything, and quickly withdrew her hand, but her face was a little ugly.
When Zhang Yuewen saw it, he immediately stood up to smooth things over: "Su Yun, come in quickly, let's talk about the details of the contract."
"Yes, chat while eating." Wang Yang stretched his finger to the hotel door, made a gesture of invitation, and stretched his other hand towards Su Yun's waist.
Su Yun took a step to the side, skillfully dodged the opponent's hand, and walked towards the hotel.
Zhang Yuewen saw Su Yun's dissatisfaction, so he stopped in front of Wang Yang and Li Dehua, and said in a low voice, "Bosses, can you be more reserved, don't...don't scare people like you did just now."
He wanted to say not to make a fuss, but since both of them were investors and his current financial backers, he still didn't have the nerve to say it out.
"What's that, what's wrong with touching it?" Wang Yang said impatiently.
"That's right, we can't lose a piece of meat. Besides, we didn't do anything to her. Wouldn't it be okay to shake hands?" Li Dehua was also very unhappy with the female star's cold face.
"Bosses, Su Yun is different from other actresses..."
Before Zhang Yuewen finished speaking, he was mercilessly interrupted.
"What's the difference? Aren't they all actresses? It's okay, don't chatter here, at worst, I'll invest more money." Wang Yang pushed Zhang Yuewen away, and walked quickly to the hotel gate go.
"Old Zhang, this is not the first time we have invested in a movie, otherwise you wouldn't have come to us, right? Don't worry, we won't overdo it." Li Dehua patted Zhang Yuewen on the shoulder, and then swaggered into the hotel.
Looking at the backs of the two investors, Zhang Yuewen couldn't help but sighed in his heart, and then quickly chased after them, hoping that Mr. Wang and Mr. Li would restrain themselves.
"Sister Yun, those two people just now are so annoying, they look like nouveau riche." Huang Xiaorong whispered to the boss.
Su Yun didn't speak, but she had the same thoughts as Xiao Rong.
This kind of people is very common in the entertainment industry, and even a force that cannot be ignored in the entire film and television industry.
You must know that not every director's film will be invested by others. Most directors need to raise investment to make films by themselves, even some big directors are no exception.
In fact, the state has been encouraging and guiding private capital to invest in the radio, film and television industry.
What is private capital?
Such people are private capital.
And one of the driving forces that make these people willing to spend money to enter the film and television industry is the ability to get in touch with stars.
May I ask, among the entertainers in the film and television industry, which one has never been to an investor's dinner?
Even she has been there.
It's just that after leaving the prosperous brokerage company, with Xu Jie as his reliance, there is no need to participate in the wine bureau for resources to please investors.
"Sister Yun, should we go?" Huang Xiaorong asked again.
"We're here to find Director Zhang, not to eat and drink with them. As long as they don't overdo it, we can continue our discussion here." Su Yun thought for a while and said.
It is not easy to get a good role and a good script, she values this cooperation very much.
"Oh." Huang Xiaorong responded without saying anything.
"Miss Su, this way please." Wang Yang led the way attentively, and his smile never disappeared along the way.
It's just that compared with the polite smile, his smile is too enthusiastic and looks a bit malicious, it's hard to make people feel good, let alone further communication.
Su Yun came to the private room with a blank expression. The dishes were already set up inside, and the table was full of delicacies from mountains and seas.
"Miss Su, I never dreamed that I could sit at the same table with you for dinner." Li Dehua said as he took out a bottle of red wine, opened it and poured it for the female star himself. "This is a bottle of 97 years old." Lafite, invite Miss Su to taste it."
"I'm here to talk about cooperation today, so I won't drink alcohol." Su Yun said lightly, then looked at Zhang Yuewen, "Director Zhang, about investing in this movie..."
"It's easy to talk, let's chat while drinking." Li Dehua interrupted directly, raised his glass with a smile, "Miss Su, I toast you, you are more beautiful than you look on TV."
"Sorry, I don't drink." Su Yun pushed the wine glass in front of her aside, looked at Zhang Yuewen and continued, "Director Zhang, let's finalize the details of the cooperation as soon as possible. I have to participate in an event this afternoon."
"Okay, okay!" Zhang Yuewen nodded repeatedly.
Of course, he wanted to sign the contract as soon as possible. In this way, not only could he get new investment, but the movie could also officially start shooting.
Seeing that Su Yun didn't drink, Li Dehua couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and the smile on his face froze, "Miss Su, don't be joking, how can any of you female artists not drink?"
"Yes, just one cup." Wang Yang on the side followed suit.
It's not that they haven't had dinner with female stars. They have naturally seen how much they can drink. Not only can they drink, but some of them can drink very well. It's hard for them to get drunk.
"Sorry, I'm going to participate in a charity event in the afternoon, so it's not suitable to drink alcohol." Su Yun said.
Seeing that everyone was frozen here, Zhang Yuewen immediately smoothed things over, "Mr. Wang, Mr. Li, since Su Yun does have an event to attend, I think it's fine to drink. Let's finalize the contract first."
After speaking, he winked at the two of them, meaning: Don't embarrass others anymore.
In his opinion, if Su Yun was taken away and stopped acting, they would only suffer losses.
"One cup is not enough, is it not enough for one sip?" Wang Yang frowned and asked, even his refusal made him feel very humiliated.
In the past, when he participated in this kind of dinner, it was the female celebrity who offered toast to him. Today, when he toasted the female celebrity, the other party refused to drink.
How can he not be angry?
"Can't you understand what our sister Yun said?" Huang Xiaorong said loudly at this time: "If you didn't hear clearly, I will repeat it again. --liquor!"
When Wang Yang heard it, his face immediately turned livid, and with a "pop", he put the wine glass on the dining table, and the red wine inside also splashed out.
Li Dehua also put down his wine glass, and said slowly, "How can we talk about cooperation if you don't drink?"
The implication: no drinking, no talking!
