Chapter 432 The Dilemma of the New Movie
The topic of "Swordsman" is still going on, because of the different views of some characters in the novel, there is a lot of noise, but these don't affect Lin Xiao at all.

"Swordsman" has ended, and Lin Xiao is currently having a meeting in Ling Xiao Pavilion.

This meeting is mainly for new movies.

"Chen He, how are you?" Lin Xiao looked at Chen He.

Chen He reluctantly put down the script, hesitated for a moment, shook his head and smiled wryly, "This script is so wonderful, but, hey, I feel like I can't grasp it."

Lin Xiao had already expected Chen He's reaction. This film is different from the previous "My Sassy Girlfriend" and "The Iron Fist of Shame". Higher than one grade.

After all, Chen He still has too little experience in this area, so although he really wants to take this film, he can't harm this good film for his own self-interest.

"This film is difficult for ordinary directors to control. I suggest that it is best to find a big director who is good at police and gangster films. Otherwise, it will be difficult to shoot well!" Chen He said.

Different from the low cost of the previous two films, if this film is to be made into a high-quality product, the cost will definitely be the largest since the establishment of the Ling Xiao Pavilion.

"Then what suggestions do you have for the director?" Lin Xiao looked at Xiao Jie, Feng Zhiyuan and others asked.

Feng Zhiyuan is a senior executive found by Ling Xiaoge through headhunting, and is currently the vice president of Ling Xiaoge's company.

Lin Xiao sent the script to them a long time ago. For this movie, the entire Ling Xiao Pavilion attaches great importance to it, because if the first two works still have a certain amount of coincidence and luck, then this script, if it is done well, That is the real reputation of the High Heaven Pavilion.

"After reading the script, I've been thinking about this issue. At present, I have three suitable candidates here." Xiao Jie is not worried that her words will stab Chen He. In fact, Chen He is not too serious. Care, he knows his own skills.

"Which three?" Lin Xiao was still relatively new to the director circle, so he asked curiously.

"Chen Mu, Fan Wencheng, Yang Hao."

"These three can be said to be the directors who are best at shooting police and gangster films in the entire Huaguo film and television circle. The outside world jokes that these three are the three kings of Huaguo's police and gangster movies."

"First of all, Chen Mu. Originally, Chen Mu should be a more suitable director, but he probably won't be able to make our film." Xiao Jie sighed.

"Why?" Lin Xiao was a little puzzled.

"Because he just took over a film "The Outsider" invested by Xuanhuang Film and Television. It is also a police film. It may be about to start shooting now, and he has no schedule!" Xiao Jie shook his head and said.

"What about the other two?" Lin Xiao asked again.

"The other two are not clear yet, you can contact them." Xiao Jie said.

"But." Xiao Jie hesitated to speak.

"But what?" Lin Xiao was puzzled.

"However, these two have one characteristic. The first is that they have very high requirements for the films they accept. One is the script, which I think should be no problem. The other is the investment, which is not a problem at all. The key Yes, they are all very powerful, especially Yang Hao, the films he makes never give face to investors, he once publicly stated that as long as it is a film he makes, he has the final say on the cast."

"The other Fan Wencheng, although not as strong as Yang Hao, is only relatively speaking. They have the same thing in that they have to decide with one word on the cast of the film, especially the main characters. There have been disputes before. Investors fell out because of a character."

"Is that so? Sure enough, capable people also have big tempers. I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I have confidence. Even if it is a fair competition, I am also confident that I can win this role."

"The last point is the remuneration. Their price is even higher than the price of an actor at the actor level."

"That's okay. As long as you have the ability, the price is not a problem." Lin Xiao didn't care about this. If the other party dared to ask for a price, he must have the ability to match it.

In Fan Wencheng's family, Fan Wencheng, as one of the three directors of Huaguo's police and gangster films, has never been short of film contracts, but he has always been relatively demanding.

Putting down the script in his hand, Fan Wencheng became even more entangled.

There were two scripts on the table right now, one was "Infernal Affairs" and the other was "Marginal Man". Coincidentally, these two scripts turned out to be stories related to undercover agents.

When it comes to the quality of the script, it is obvious that The High Tower's "Infernal Affairs" is slightly better, and the story of this script is very good, so good that Fan Wencheng is somewhat unexpected.

The logic is rigorous, the plots are interlocking, and the protagonists and supporting roles are very characteristic, very three-dimensional and full.

It is not just a battle of wits and courage between police and gangsters, but also thinking about human nature, questioning good and evil, right and wrong.

After letting him see it, he couldn't forget it.

The other script "Marginal Man" was produced by Tianxing Film and Television. This script is also a very good script. Although it is worse than "Infernal Affairs", it is still very good.

The reason why he hesitated was because the negotiation between him and Tianxing about the film "Marginal Man" was almost completed, and Tianxing was full of sincerity, and the remuneration offered made him a little hard to refuse.

Forget it, let's see when we meet again.

If Lingxiao Pavilion can offer the same price as Tianxing, then he naturally hopes to choose "Infernal Affairs".

"Lin is now much younger than I imagined, and he has already achieved such an achievement, which is really amazing." Fan Wencheng said with admiration.

"Fan Dao is awesome, let's sit down and talk." Lin Xiao said neither humble nor overbearing, and now he represents not only the younger generation in the entertainment industry, but also the boss of the Ling Xiao Pavilion and the investor of the movie.

"Okay, let's sit down and talk." Fan Wencheng said with a hearty smile.

"Director Fan, have you read the "Infernal Affairs" that our company submitted to you?" Lin Xiao asked straight to the point.

"Yes, I read it. It's very well written." Fan Wencheng nodded.

"First of all, I personally like this script very much, but I want to know first, how much do you want to invest in this movie?" Fan Wencheng asked.

"The current investment budget is about [-] million. Of course, this is not the final budget. The specifics depend on the choice of the follow-up main creators." Lin Xiao replied seriously.

Fan Wencheng nodded. In fact, he was just asking as usual. Of course, he knew that Ling Xiao Pavilion was short of everything at present, except for funds.Especially in the case of Lingxiao Pavilion, which has three giants holding shares, and has released two hit films before, there is obviously no need to worry about investment.

"If I were to direct, you should know my habits. The actors must all be decided by me!" Fan Wencheng said loudly, which is his momentum and confidence as a great director.

In fact, most of the time, the main actors of a film are negotiated by the investor and the director. Of course, it is reasonable for a director of Fan Wencheng's level to ask for these rights.
