I really don't want to eat with my face

Chapter 88
Su Xiaozhou's suona is horrific.

What she was blowing was not "Encounter", but "Meeting Ghosts".

Lu Changming's ears hurt, so he quickly hid in the bedroom, put on his headphones, and got down to business.

His business is naturally about "Zhu Xian".

Now that "Everything is Good" has stabilized, it is not difficult to create a miracle, so Lu Changming's focus is completely tilted to "Zhu Xian".

This movie is his debut.

According to the usual practice, he searched for actors on the Internet, from the leading role to the supporting role, he was very concerned about it.

Going to bed in the middle of the night like this made him feel a little dizzy the next day.

But I had to get up, because today I have to meet the investor, that is, the producer.

Moreover, Su Xiaozhou played the suona on the roof early in the morning, making Lu Changming think he was resurrected.

"Su Xiaozhou, what the hell are you doing?" Lu Changming roared.

"I'm practicing. It's rare to have a vacation. I can't be lazy. Sooner or later, I will become the number one suona king in the national uniform!" Su Xiaozhou chuckled, really happy.

Lu Changming quickly washed up, ate some breakfast, and went out.

Breakfast was made by Tao Siyin, she was good at cooking, and she could eat it.

"Brother Lu, pay attention to safety." Before going out, Tao Siyin reminded her a little bit, feeling a bit like a wife.

Lu Changming waved his hand and left.

Half an hour later, he arrived at the branch of Lin Yimou's studio. The company is not big, it can be regarded as a medium-sized workshop-Lin Yimou's main company is in Dongyang, and the capital is not too extravagant in order to save costs.

Lin Yimou was also in the company. He consolidated the materials and contracts, and hummed a little song. It seemed that he was very happy to see his daughter yesterday.

"Morning, Director Lin." Lu Changming greeted, poured himself a cup of hot water, and sat on the sofa in the office.

"Xiao Lu, wait here first, the investor will come to the meeting later." Lin Yimou was familiar with each other, and clipped the documents together.

Lu Changming sat and waited, looking forward to it.

This is his first time shooting a movie, and he is still the main director, and he has to hold meetings with many investors, which is quite impressive.

Those investors are all big companies in the film and television industry, and they jointly produced "Zhu Xian", which shows how much they value it.

They think "Zhu Xian" can make money!

"Xiao Lu, please check if there are any mistakes in the materials of the novel "Zhu Xian". I will pass them on to the investor later." Lin Yimou suddenly stuffed some materials over.

Lu Changming looked at it, and he didn't integrate these materials himself.

""Zhu Xian" was released for free on Qidian's Chinese website, with a reading index of over [-] million, and Baidu's search index ranked first..."

Lu Changming read in a low voice, feeling very irresponsible.

He threw "Zhu Xian" to Su Xiaozhou for publication, but Su Xiaozhou didn't pay much attention to it, and Lin Yimou had to collect these data.

"It should be right." After reading the information, Lu Changming nodded.

"These statistics are astonishing. They have completely crushed any popular IP works in the past, and have gathered a lot of popularity among netizens." Lin Yimou was a little surprised, "If you didn't sell the copyright, I would definitely be the first to buy it."

All the copyrights are in the hands of Lu Changming, so he can be the chief director.

Lu Changming smiled, for directing "Zhu Xian", he lost a lot of money.

The two chatted again, and then the producer came.

The four major producers, Southern Film Co., Ltd., Legend Films, Universal Films, and LeTV Films, all sent people over.

They are the real talkers of a movie, and they have more power than the director. After all, they are the ones who fund the movie.

They are also responsible for market research, box office analysis, etc.

Among them, Southern Film Co., Ltd. and Legendary Film and Television are the second distributors, responsible for the promotion of the film, scheduling, purchasing advertisements, signing contracts with theaters, and so on.

It can be said that these four major productions can determine the life and death of "Zhu Xian".

Unless Lu Changming goes it alone, he will be more or less influenced by the producer.

Lu Changming didn't think about the bad either. The ultimate goal of the producer is to make money. As long as the movie is made well, it will definitely make money.

He has no hostile relationship with the producer.

Soon, the meeting started.

Lu Changming, Lin Yimou, and the backbone of Lin Yimou's studio, together with the staff of the four major producers, started the "Zhu Xian" shooting meeting.

"Director Lin, is this Lu Changming the chief director you mentioned?" As soon as the meeting started, a bald middle-aged man opposite Lu Changming stared at Lu Changming.

This person is the production director of LeTV Film and Television, named Wang Badan, who is the plenipotentiary representative of LeTV Film and Television. He alone is equivalent to a producer.

"Yes, Lu Changming is the creator and copyright owner of "Zhu Xian". He cooperated with my studio to shoot "Zhu Xian"." Lin Yimou responded.

The four major producers present looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.

Wang Badan smiled at Lu Changming: "Mr. Lu, why don't you consider selling the copyright of "Zhu Xian"? You can definitely sell it to Director Lin's company."

The meaning of this is obvious.

The producer didn't want Lu Changming to be the chief director.

They are the patrons, they are here to give orders, not to cooperate.

Moreover, with Ivy as the director, what are you doing as a book writer?It's too weird to be the chief director.

Lu Changming had already expected that the producer would make things difficult, so he was not angry, but just smiled calmly: "Are the four producers already working on the script?"

"Zhu Xian" is just a novel, and the first step in filming is to adapt the script.

"Of course, we will invite a gold medal screenwriter to adapt it, so you don't have to worry about it." Wang Badan responded.

"Wang Producer, wait a minute. I have all the materials about "Zhu Xian". In fact, Lu Changming has already written the script." Lin Yimou interrupted, and handed the compiled materials to the four producers.

Quadruplicate.

The four major producers were all stunned.

"Have you finished writing the script?" Wang Badan was amazed. What kind of operation is this?
"He wrote the script of "Everything is Good", and it is indeed very good." The production director of Universal Films said, and he was the first to read the information.

The other two producers also buried their heads in watching.

Wang Badan frowned and said, "Since there is a script, it must take time to study it. Let's go back and have a look first."

"Okay, sharpening a knife is the same as chopping firewood." Lin Yimou stood up, not in a hurry.

The meeting broke up like this, and it didn't take more than 10 minutes.

The main reason is that Lu Changming's script suddenly intervened, disrupting all the progress.

After the meeting ended, the four major producers did not leave immediately. They went to Lin Yimou alone and held another small meeting.

"Old Lin, you are fooling around. Are you Ivy League acting as an assistant director for a young man?" Wang Badan drank a big sip of tea and complained to Lin Yimou.

The other three producers also spoke one after another.

"Director Lin, if you are the chief director, we don't need to say anything and start filming directly, but Lu Changming is a screenwriter, how can you fool around with him?"

"The company's superiors have said that you must be the director, and we will invite another famous director to be the deputy. Lu Changming will be the screenwriter and get paid."

"See, he's only in his 20s? Isn't it blind to ask him to shoot "Zhu Xian"?"

Several producers know Lin Yimou well, and have cooperated many times. This is the first time that such a big opinion has been raised.

Lin Yimou had expected it a long time ago. He took a sip of his tea, but changed the subject.

"Have you heard of the Zhenhua Construction Group in Shanghai?" Lin Yimou waited.

Several producers were a little confused, and Wang Badan asked: "Zhenhua Group? A leader in southern infrastructure?"

"That's right, this leader belongs to Lu Changming's family. We don't cooperate with Lu Changming. He has a lot of ways to shoot by himself. Then it will be really blind."
