Hualiu Director

Chapter 69 and Huang Li's New Film Project

I don't know if it's because of time travel, but Lin Hong is always full of energy. Even though he wrote the script until [-] o'clock last night, he was still full of energy when he got up at [-] o'clock in the morning.

When Lin Hong appeared in the restaurant, the participating directors and staff members of the column "Please Advise the Director" all greeted him.

"Congratulations, Director Lin Hong, the number of on-demand views of "Night Shop" has exceeded 500 million in one night."

""Night Club" is so funny, I couldn't resist watching it again yesterday, don't tell me, three yuan is really worth it."

Lin Hong didn't know what they were congratulating at first. It wasn't until Bao Guangliang told Lin Hong that the program was updated last night that he realized that "Night Club" was launched.

The scene of discussing "Night Club" like in a restaurant is staged all over the country.

&nb: "Have you watched "Night.club"? It's super funny. I laughed so hard last night that my stomach hurts. I finally felt sleepy. Thinking of that dog made me lose sleep from laughing."

olb: "Hahahaha, you watched it too, right? I laughed like crazy. My mother came into my room a few times and she thought I was crazy. I love comedy so much. Lin Hong is so talented. Wait for him If a movie is released in theaters, I must support it.”

&nb: "Me too, by the way, which part do you think is the funniest?"

olb: "Of course it's the dog, and that poor Zhu Liao, he was electrocuted from start to finish..."

Two well-dressed OLs were discussing the plot of "Night Club" while tidying up their desks. A colleague next to him felt that he couldn't understand what they were talking about, so he quickly interrupted and asked.

olc: "What "Nightclub", did you guys go to the movies yesterday?"

It's obviously a threesome with girlfriends, although there are some plastics on weekdays, but you are so blatantly ostracizing me, am I really not afraid that the plastic flowers will make me sad?The tone of the olc who thought he was excluded was full of grievances.

&nb: "It's the variety show on the Penguin platform. "Director's Advice" was updated yesterday. The very talented director Lin Hong made another comedy called "Night Shop". It's funny, I want to laugh now when I think of those plots. Hahaha..."

Olb: "That's right, the movie is not only funny, but also has two super nice songs in it. The actor who sings is so handsome, I want to change my husband just watching him sing."

Seeing that it wasn't her being excluded, olc breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time decided to wait for Moyu to show "Night Club". This kind of office conversation must not be behind, otherwise she will be unhappy for a few days.

For example, discussions in this office have occurred in many schools and units, and everyone is discussing enthusiastically, or directly talking about those small jokes.

"If you don't know the 110 number for the police, you should quickly call 114 to check..."

"Do you still have a name called Zhuang Boyi..."

……

In addition to the good response in reality, there is also an upsurge of discussion on "Night Shop" on the Internet. In this era when everyone is playing memes, "Night Shop" is really too melodramatic.

With the fermentation of the Internet, the paid-for-demand volume of "Night Club" on the Penguin platform is also increasing, and the popularity of "Please Director Advice" is also rising. Other directors and their entries also have different levels of click-through rates promote.

Professional and non-professional film critics saw how the popularity of "The Nightclub" could sit still, and freshly released film reviews were posted on various websites.At this time, the film critics who are lucky enough to be invited to "Please Advise the Director" have an invisible sense of superiority, and their film reviews can't help but say "I asked Director Lin Hong face to face about the xx treatment of this character." Will it be too abrupt, and the explanation given by director Lin Hong is xxxxx".Well, the critics who weren't invited to the show were sour.

Those bloggers who do film and television commentary on the short video platform also saw the enthusiasm, so they started to want to catch up as soon as they watched the movie. Anyway, the first sentence at the beginning is "Recently, many fans privately sent me to comment on "Night Shop". ", who told me to be a fan, then today we will come to "Night Shop" together. ..."

Lin Hong watched his mobile phone while having breakfast, and the response of "Night Club" was unexpectedly good, which also shows that the market actually prefers comedy films, of course, the premise is that comedy films can really make the audience laugh.

More than 4000 people left comments on Doubanjiang, and more than 30000 people scored an average score of 8.1, which is qualified for a commercial comedy.

"Lin Hong, I have good news for you."

Huang Li walked towards Lin Hong with a dinner plate. He didn't eat much because he was old, just a fried egg, two slices of bread and a glass of milk, which was much less than the fried egg, ham and sandwiches on Lin Hong's plate.

Lin Hong quickly got up to move a place for Huang Li, and then helped him put the dinner plate away.Although Huang Li could do these things himself, Lin Hong's gratitude to Huang Li did not decrease because of his success. On the contrary, the more successful he was, the more he knew how much Huang Li had helped him.

"Uncle Huang, what good news!"

Huang Li took a sip of milk and said calmly, "Last night, the people from Penguin negotiated with me. They offered 200 million to buy out the exclusive rights to show "Three Monks" on Penguin's online platform. We get 10 percent."

Lin Hong didn't know how other films and Penguin's buyout share was, but he knew that a short film of less than 20 minutes could be sold for such a price, which was considered sky-high.

"Uncle Huang, cow!"

Seeing Lin Hongchong's thumbs up, Huang Li was very proud.

"A few days ago, the people from Penguin insisted that 120 million yuan could not be added. I thought there was a chance in Cannes, so I didn't let go. In the end, "Three Monks" was excellent, and the best short film at the Cannes Film Festival was given to me. Enough confidence, Penguin saw that other platforms were also competing, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

To be honest, I was a little surprised at the price of 200 million. Coupled with the later pay-on-demand sharing, the estimated profit of this short film will exceed 700 million.Believe it or not, "Three Monks" is by far my most profitable project. "

When Huang Li said this, he didn't have any feeling of vicissitudes and loneliness. On the contrary, there was a sense of freedom and ease. This is what Lin Hong admired most about Huang Li.

"Although you invested 409 yuan in bedroom 4, accounting for 28.57% of the shares, it is more than 200 million yuan, but this money cannot be given to you directly. At the beginning, the main creative team worked for free, and you didn't get paid for the script and director. Kong Xiao and the others The salary is not counted, all these have to be made up, and the three actors have to pack an extra [-] red envelopes to express their gratitude. After I deduct all these, I can give you a proportional share of the dormitory."

Lin Hong was grateful in his heart. Huang Li did this to give Lin Hong and the others more profits. Although it is said that these are what the producers should do after making money, it would be completely reasonable if Huang Li didn't mention it, because Kong Xiaola invested in it back then. At the time, I took the initiative to say that the script and crew were not paid.

"Uncle Huang, it is said that the elders can't be excused. We will not be hypocritical as juniors for your kindness. I will remember your care for us. Don't worry, there will be many opportunities for us to cooperate in the future. In the future, we will reward you." If we want to take it, we also need to earn money.”

After hearing Lin Hong's words, Huang Li was happier than anything else. While chewing the bread carefully, he nodded to express that he was very satisfied with the answer.

"Oh, by the way, Uncle Huang, I wrote the script I mentioned earlier last night. The name hasn't been decided yet. I'll send it to you later. You can help me read the details. In addition, except for the role of Yang Hongwei, Mr. Chen Ru decided to In addition to acting, I want to hand over the role of young Yang Hongwei to Li Xian, he needs more role training."

As soon as Huang Li heard the script was finished, he almost choked himself when he was so excited, he swallowed the food with force, and took another sip of milk before he recovered.

"You are a director and a script creator. You must have no problem finding suitable actors. Don't worry, you make a note of the role requirements, and I will find you the actors as soon as possible."

"A Man Called Ove Decided to Die" was a very good Swedish film in Lin Hong's previous life. With its warm and humorous story, it moved the whole world. It won the Best Comedy Film at the European Film Festival and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and many other awards.

However, this movie has a common problem with "The Man From Earth", and that is the name of the movie.

Neither of these two movies was shown in theaters in mainland China. Everyone watched these excellent movies through the Internet, which led to insufficient funds for translation. Unfortunately, the translation level of the website porter is limited and did not give These excellent movies have an appropriate Chinese name, but directly apply the Chinese translation, which also makes many viewers think that it is a bad movie when they see the name and abandon the show.

The two chatted about the formation of the crew, and then they were invited to the dressing room by the staff. The new issue of "Ask the Director for Advice" was about to be recorded, but Lin Hong was walking in the dressing room when he received a The call was from his manager Wang Jinghua.

"Lin Hong, I have some good news for you. I just received a remittance of 300 million yuan, which is the first share of the pay-per-view of "Don't Stop the Camera" from the Penguin platform."

The reason why it is said to be the first share is that before "Don't Stop the Camera" was provided to Penguin VIP for free, Lin Hong could get 10% of the pay-on-demand.

The share of the film for the participating directors is exclusive to Lin Hong, but other directors have no complaints, because they simply cannot use 100 million and ten days to make such a high-quality feature film, otherwise Penguin must have negotiated with them long ago. up.

Of course, there are also factors for mitigating conflicts with Lin Hong in the share of pay-on-demand, but it is more to encourage Lin Hong to continue to make high-quality feature films.

Anyway, the funds for filming are provided by the program sponsors. The film is filmed by Lin Hong, and the copyright belongs to the Penguin platform. Giving Lin Hong 10% of the share seems very generous, but if you see more than a dozen of "Night Club" With the traffic and profits brought by hours, everyone will say that Penguin has really done a good business.

"There is one more thing. The second season of the growth camp on the Penguin platform hopes you can invite you to be a mentor."
