Chapter 469 Pit Everywhere

To be honest, for Fan Wencheng, Lin Xiao didn't have much grudge with him.

As for Fan Wencheng's questioning of Lin Xiao before, it is actually the norm in promoting movies.

Of course, Lin Xiao didn't have a good impression of Fan Wencheng. He might have abilities, but his character was just that.

Under normal circumstances, Fan Wencheng's "Marginal Man" has been hit by "Infernal Affairs" so far it has basically hit the street.

Perhaps a box office of one billion is a good box office result for most films, but you must know that the production cost of "Marginal Man" is as high as 4 million Chinese dollars, plus the cost of publicity and distribution, 13 million can't beat it. According to the current box office share and taxes, etc., that is to say, the cost of [-] million, if you want to recover the cost at the domestic box office, you need at least [-] billion box office to pay back.

Although "Marginal Man" will definitely not lose money in the end, but with such a large investment and left there for such a long time, not losing money is itself a huge loss.

For Fan Wencheng, the defeat of "The Marginal Man" didn't hit him that hard, but it definitely had an impact.

At least in the short term, it is difficult for him to get the directing rights of big productions.

Cloud Cafe.

Lin Xiao got off the car, walked into the coffee shop, and quickly found Fan Wencheng.

"Director Fan, we meet again." Lin Xiao smiled and reached out to shake Fan Wencheng's hand.

"Hehe, I was still worried that Mr. Lin would refuse to meet me. It seems that my worries are unnecessary." Fan Wencheng said with a smile.

"How could it be? Director Fan is a senior in the industry. If Director Fan invites you, I will make time to come if I don't have time, right?" Lin Xiao said with a faint smile.

"Congratulations to Mr. Lin, "Infernal Affairs" is a big hit, congratulations." Fan Wencheng said to Lin Xiao with a smile.

"It's just luck, I don't know why Director Fan asked me to meet today?" Lin Xiao said straight to the point.

To be honest, he will come because he is purely curious. Lin Xiao doesn't think that Fan Wencheng is looking for him to invest. It's actually not that difficult to attract investment for a new film.

Of course, big productions are an exception.

"I'm very interested in the film that Mr. Lin is preparing recently." Fan Wencheng looked at Lin Xiao with a smile and said.

"Really? That's really my honor, but unfortunately, the director of this movie has already been decided. I believe that Director Fan should also know." Lin Xiao said lightly.

"Of course I know, but Mr. Lin really don't think about it anymore? Although Mr. Lin's talent is well known, being a director is not so easy." Fan Wencheng said with a smile.

"If Director Fan came today because he wanted me to change my mind and not direct this movie, then I can only say sorry." Lin Xiao said with a smile on his face.

However, Fan Wencheng's next words made Lin Xiao frowned tightly, which really exceeded Lin Xiao's expectations.

In other words, Lin Xiao thought about many possibilities, but he really didn't think about this one.

"Actually, I also know that this is impossible, but you have to try everything, don't you? Mr. Lin also knows the failure of "Marginal Man", which makes me feel the same now."

"Mr. Lin is directing a movie for the first time, and it's a police movie. I think an experienced assistant director is definitely needed?" Fan Wencheng asked suddenly.

"That's right, why? Director Fan doesn't think he wants to condescend to be my assistant director?" Lin Xiao was really surprised this time.

Nima, who is Fan Wencheng?Even if "Infernal Affairs" beat "The Marginal Man", Fan Wencheng is still a great director.

Big-name film stars rarely take on non-leading roles. Similarly, how can a big director condescend to be an assistant director?

Lin Xiao's first thought was, what is Fan Wencheng's idea?
"It's really like this, so what's Mr. Lin's opinion?" Fan Wencheng looked at Lin Xiao with a smile and said.

Lin Xiao not only didn't feel flattered, but instead became vigilant. He didn't think he really had such a big appeal, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many actors who would retreat when they heard that the film was directed by him.

"Mr. Lin should have a headache about the actor right now? And if I become the assistant director of the film, then I believe this problem will be solved easily." Fan Wencheng said confidently.

"I'm very curious, Director Fan. With your status, even if "The Marginal Man" is not satisfactory, it will not be reduced to the point of being an assistant director. Then Director Fan, tell me, what is it?" The reason?" Lin Xiao looked at Fan Wencheng and asked.

Fan Wencheng leaned back, and then said with a smile: "It's actually very simple. I like you. Looking at your previous movies and TV series, you haven't failed even once. I bet you Movies can do the same."

"And because you are a new director, even if I am an assistant director, and the movie is successful in the end, I believe everyone will not ignore my contribution. Of course, it depends on Mr. Lin, do you mind if I share your profits? Credit goes to you." Fan Wencheng said bluntly.

But Lin Xiao gave Fan Wencheng a big cross in his heart, you should be a fool.

Yes, maybe it will be like what Fan Wencheng said, but the director is still Lin Xiao himself after all, the so-called name is not right, and the assistant director is also an assistant director no matter how good he is.

And does Fan Wencheng need this?Obviously not.

Therefore, this is definitely not Fan Wencheng's real intention.

"Hehe, I really mind, so I'm sorry, Director Fan." Lin Xiao looked at Fan Wencheng and said indifferently.

Fan Wencheng frowned for the first time.

"Mr. Lin doesn't think about it anymore? In terms of salary, I won't make too many demands this time, and I believe that Mr. Lin should be able to imagine the effect of my joining." Fan Wencheng said with a frown.

"No need, Director Fan, problems are meant to be solved. My first work, whether it succeeds or fails, I hope that I can control it absolutely. Moreover, Director Fan, to be honest, the relationship between us, It seems that they are not good enough to fully trust each other, right? In other words, Director Fan, your previous reasons cannot convince me." Lin Xiao looked at Fan Wencheng playfully.

"I hope you don't regret it!" Fan Wencheng heard that Lin Xiao had opened up a little, and knew that the other party was not so easy to fool, so after leaving a sentence, he didn't wait any longer.

Lin Xiao picked up the coffee and took a sip, showing a sneer.

Assistant director, hehe, there are so many things that the assistant director can do, Fan Wencheng must have underestimated himself, do you really think he is a fool?
At the same time, Fan Wencheng walked out of the coffee shop, got into the car, picked up his mobile phone and dialed a number.

"He refused!" Fan Wencheng said.

"Did you refuse? As expected, then Director Fan, next, I hope you won't let me down again."
