Chapter 193: Investing 100 million yuan in Lin Yuan?(1/2)
The phone number was called by Sister Xia.
The fan signing meeting where Sister Xia and him were originally there, she answered a call from Mr. Li in the middle and left, but she never saw her come back. It was not until the signing meeting has ended, and the call came.
Lin Yuan answered the phone and asked curiously: "Hey, Sister Xia, my signature meeting is over. Where are you?"
“Will the signature be over?”
Sister Xia on the other end of the phone was a little excited, as if she had encountered something good, and added: "That's great, I'll come here to pick you up now, and a good thing has fallen on you!"
A good thing?
Lin Yuan was somewhat confused. If Sister Xia had said this before winning the Golden Horse Award, he would have thought there would be no problem.
But now he has just won the Golden Horse Awards, and he has become the top 1 male actor on Weibo to discuss the stars. What can be better than winning the award?
"Sister Xia, let me reveal what a good thing is."
Usually, if there is any good thing, Sister Xia will basically give him some noise in advance.
But this time it seemed a little different. Sister Xia said everything to her mouth, and finally swallowed it back: "This... I'll arrive soon, I'll tell you in the car later."
Seeing that Sister Xia was not good at it, Lin Yuan had to give up the idea of continuing to ask questions.
Anyway, it will be clear if you meet later, so there is no need to rush to these few minutes.
After a while, Sister Xia hurriedly walked into the venue, heading towards Lin Yuan staring at the screen of her phone.
Sister Xia walked up to Lin Yuan and asked breathlessly: "Nothing is wrong here?"
If there is still something that has not been handled after the fan signature here, then we must give priority to the matter here.
After all, for celebrities, maintaining their relationship with the fan group is still very important. Many celebrities are always exposed to be big-name when filming or participating in variety shows, but few people are exposed to be big-name when interacting with fans because everyone in the circle knows that fans are the money tree for celebrities.
Lin Yuan stood up and shrugged, indicating that the matter here had already been done.
Seeing this, Sister Xia led him to the parking lot.
After the two got in the car, Lin Yuan asked, "Sister Xia, can you always say what's going on now?"
Sister Xia did not answer directly, but asked Lin Yuan: "Do you remember that I said that there are investors who are preparing to invest in your movies?"
"Of course I remember..."
Speaking of this, Lin Yuan suddenly reacted: "Sister Xia, is it the other party who is planning to invest in me to make a movie now?"
Sister Xia showed a smile on her face and nodded, "It's almost the same. Mr. Li said that the investor specially invited you to have a meal. As for the movie, let's see what we'll talk about later."
......
It was almost the evening rush hour after work and the road was clear, and the hotel was open in fifteen minutes. It took nearly an hour to drive, and it was already half past six when the two got off the bus.
The waiter at the door welcomed the two of them until they walked into the hall and then turned their bodies back to the outside of the door.
The lobby of this hotel is not decorated in a magnificent manner. Instead, it chose a relatively calm brown wooden body, with only the corners connected by golden metal plates, giving it a low-key and luxurious feeling. There are display tables on both sides of the house are placed with porcelain and imitation bronze utensils, and landscape paintings are hung on the walls, which have a strong national style. The overall shape is quite popular with Lin Yuan.
In hotels like this, except for VIPs, you basically have to make reservations in advance.
Even though Lin Yuan has participated in so many alcoholic parties these days, which hotels are still a lower level compared to here.
Lin Yuan looked at the decoration and found a series of shortcomings and advantages, and couldn't help but wonder what the investor came from.
"Okay, let's go."
Sister Xia asked about the specific location on the phone, then greeted Lin Yuan, and the two of them got on the elevator.
After arriving on the third floor, he told the receptionist the room number. The waiter took him to the door and opened the door. There were two people sitting inside, one of Mr. Li from Xitian Media, and the other was a bit unfamiliar to Lin Yuan.
Sister Xia said a little apologetically: "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road, I'm late."
Although they set the time to arrive at seven o'clock and the two of them were still half an hour ahead of time, they had to wait for a long time, so they had to lower their posture.
Mr. Li of Xitian Media stood up and greeted Lin Yuan and Ning Luoxia to sit down, and at the same time became an intermediary, introducing to both parties: "This is Li Xiaoping, the president of Light Media, Mr. Li, this is Lin Yuan and his agent Ning Luoxia."
After hearing Mr. Li’s introduction, Lin Yuan and Ning Luoxia were somewhat surprised.
They are both Mr. Li, but their status is very different. One is the CEO of Xitian Media and the other is the vice president of Light Media. Just think about it and you will know that you are not a heavyweight figure.
"Hello, Mr. Li!"
"Hello, Mr. Li!"
Lin Yuan and Ning Luoxia stepped forward and shook hands with the big boss of Light Media.
"Yes, Lin Yuan, right? You have brought surprises to our Light Media a lot. Not only did you star in movies with one more movie, one more movie, but you also won the two best actors at a young age. You are promising!" Li Xiaoping praised Lin Yuan without hesitation.
Since Lin Yuan entered the box, Li Xiaoping's eyes have basically fallen on Lin Yuan and looked back and forth.
Even if Xitian Media is a subsidiary of Light Media, Lin Yuan has won the two actors, which has led to the rise in Xitian Media's stock price. Light Media will naturally enjoy its success.
However, as Lin Yuan won the double best actor, other media companies also focused on Lin Yuan. After all, with Lin Yuan's current popularity, investing in Lin Yuan is definitely a matter of making a profit and not losing money. Capital is not a fool. This kind of business that is stable and not losing money can't be given to others, right?
So Light Media quickly contacted Xitian Media, hoping to find some time to make Lin Yuan out and then make sure of the investment in making movies.
After chatting for a few polite words, Vice President Li of Light Media then talked about the main topic.
"Lin Yuan, are you interested in directing a movie yourself?"
Vice President Li looked directly at Lin Yuan, as if he wanted to see some clues from his expression: "Of course, you don't have to worry about film investment, our Light Media will be fully responsible."
It has to be said that as the largest private media and entertainment group in China, Light Media is still very strong, and it is almost all involved in entertainment industries such as movie investment, artist brokerage, and entertainment information programs.
After hearing Vice President Li’s wealthy words, Lin Yuan said that he was not moved, that would be fake.
However, even though he was moved, Lin Yuan did not rush to give his answer. He just won the Golden Horse Award and was in high popularity. There must be many media companies willing to invest in him.
Huayi Brothers are on the decline and urgently need to come up with a few good works to support them. As a rising star who has only developed in recent years, Wanda Film and Television Media is willing to invest in movies. The already released "Detective Chinatown 1" and the upcoming "Detective Chinatown 2" have its support.
With Lin Yuan’s current popularity, no matter which media company he cooperates with, he can create a win-win situation.
Seeing that Lin Yuan had not made a decision for a while, Vice President Li deliberately pretended to be a chat and brought the topic to Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang who had a good relationship with Lin Yuan: "Talk about "A Good Show" you starred with Huang Bo recently was invested and released by our Light Films. By the way, Baoqiang's "Making a Big Story in India" is also."
"No matter what, you are our family, and we will definitely support the filming of the movie."
The reason why Vice President Li talked about this was to explain to Lin Yuan the strength of their Light Media.
At the same time, he was also telling Lin Yuan that if he wanted to direct and act in a movie himself, whether in terms of investment or film promotion, it would be much more than the two movies "A Good Show" and "A Big Story".
Light Media's investment in these two movies is almost 200 million, and this is the investment after the storm at Baoqiang's family, otherwise Light Media's investment will only be more than 200 million now.
If Lin Yuan was willing to direct the movie himself now, he would not dare to say that he would have no problem getting an investment of 100 million yuan. Then, as the director himself, it would be more than enough to make a qualified commercial film.
Hearing this, Mr. Li and Sister Xia began to cough quietly to remind Lin Yuanlai.
If they had to agree to such a good thing, they would have agreed to it long ago.
Since Vice President Li said that, it was obviously not appropriate for Lin Yuan to wait for the price. He picked up the wine glass in front of him, stood up and toasted to Vice President Li and said, "Then I would like to thank Vice President Li for his kindness."
As Lin Yuan finished his words, Li Xiaoping, deputy general manager of Light Media, also felt relieved.
If it were other first-tier stars, if they did not agree, they would have some methods to target them. However, when it comes to stars like Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang, they basically went out of their agency to work alone. They would have to make trouble, and Huayi Brothers and Wanda Film and Television might be secretly happy behind their backs.
Although Lin Yuan has not yet come out of Xitian Media, the situation is basically the same as those of these top stars. If they are unwilling to cooperate with them, they really have no way to deal with them.
Just as Vice President Li breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Yuan's voice came over again.
"But Vice President Li, the filming of the movie may have to be postponed for a while. You also know that I have not finished the film on Brother Bo's side, and I will also have to star in Brother Baoqiang's "The Story of the World". The schedule will probably be scheduled until next year..."
Lin Yuan briefly explained his next schedule.
The meaning is very simple. He is willing to do the movie, but he just can't find time for the time being.
His words are true, but there is another very important reason he did not say, that is, he needs to spend time selecting scripts. As his debut work, it goes without saying how important the script is.
If he agreed directly now, Light Media would find him a script. With his current popularity, he would certainly be able to reap a wave of box office, but the consequence of doing so was that the reputation he had accumulated would drop by a thousand feet!
Of course, Vice President Li knew what Lin Yuan was thinking, but it was enough for everyone to know this kind of thing.
Vice President Li agreed very readily: "No problem. If Lin Yuan, you have any movie types you want to try, you can tell us at any time. We will contact the screenwriter to see if there are any good books."
"Then I'll trouble Vice President Li..." Lin Yuan stood up again to toast.
Seeing that Lin Yuan and Li Xiaoping, the vice president of Light Media, reached a verbal agreement, the big stone in Sister Xia and Mr. Li's heart finally fell down.
After the talk of the main work, everyone also ate and chatted as they pleased.
By the time the banquet ended, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
After seeing off the vice president of Light Media, Sister Xia also pulled Lin Yuan and said a lot of words in an excited tone.
As for what he said, Lin Yuan didn't hear it very clearly. He thought it was just words like "Take a good deal of hardship and sweetness".
This made Lin Yuan feel a little moved.
I still remember when I first debuted as a newcomer, I followed Sister Xia to audition for various crews. At that time, the crew was willing to let Lin Yuan play, basically because of the face of Sister Xia, the agent. The agent has some strength, so others will give you appropriate respect to the face of the agent. But if the agent is a grandchild, it is still a matter of what Lin Yuan can do now.
However, two years have passed, and Sister Xia is quite famous in the circle of agents, but when others mentioned her name, the first thing they thought of was her artist, Lin Yuan.
The Golden Gogh Award winner is a stepping stone, making him one of the top actors. Now that he won the Golden Horse Award and became the youngest double actor in China, he really made him stand at the forefront of the entertainment industry. No wonder actors and celebrities all want to be famous. Once they become famous, they will come to their doorsteps.
......
In the next three days, in addition to recording two variety shows, Lin Yuan's affairs were basically handled.
After resting in the apartment for a day, I bought the next day's flight ticket and flew to Yakushima.
