Entertainment: You can't imagine the happiness of an actor

"Mr. Li, do you even want to divest the capital?"

Xiaoxiao spoke a little weakly.

Mr. Li was the only one among the four investors who asked Xiaoxiao to read the script. During the period, he discussed the script with Xiaoxiao many times. It can be said that he really wanted to vote for this drama.

Xiaoxiao also hopes that Mr. Li will not withdraw his investment for the sake of watching this drama.

"Xiaoxiao, I really like your script, and I really want to vote for this drama, but I can't do anything now. You know your aunt, she said that anyone who dares to vote for your drama, that is She is against me, and I can't do anything about it, you better beg your aunt for mercy, or else I think your drama will not be able to be filmed." Shi.

Chapter 1582 Director Li's Network

"Mr. Li, you like this drama so much, do you want to watch it die?"

Xiaoxiao persuaded with some despair.

Mr. Li sighed softly on the other end of the phone, and then said: "You should go find a new investor, or go and confess your mistake to your aunt. I really can't do anything."

Mr. Li hung up the phone after he finished speaking.

Xiaoxiao lowered her head and sighed helplessly, tears streaming down her eyes uncontrollably.

The filming of this movie was about to start. Unexpectedly, the aunt who gave her hope also brought her despair.

"What? The last investor also withdrew?"

Director Li Zhi "Two Seven Three" Feng walked to Xiaoxiao's side.

He knew about the divestment, but he was not as desperate as Xiaoxiao.

"Don't worry, if there is really no other way, I still have some friends, so it shouldn't be a problem to invest in this drama."

Li Zhifeng comforted softly.

"Really? But the investment in this movie is not low, if it loses..."

Although Xiaoxiao is very confident in her script, there are still risks in the end. Li Zhifeng uses favors to attract investment. If he loses money, it will definitely be embarrassing.

"You don't have to worry about this. If you can vote, you are naturally willing to take such a risk. Besides, with my golden signboard, what else do they have to worry about?"

Li Zhifeng made a rare joke to Xiaoxiao.

However, Li Zhifeng's words were not fake at all. With his status and connections in the entertainment circle, it would be no problem for him to attract investment.

And the three words Li Zhifeng can be said to be the guarantee of ratings.

"Old Song, it's me. I heard that you want to vote for a drama recently, but there are no good projects. I am preparing to direct a drama now. Have you heard the news? Are you interested?"

Li Zhifeng made a phone call directly in front of Xiaoxiao.

"Director Li, I'm just waiting for you to call me this time. I must vote for the drama you directed. I heard that this drama has an investor, but I regret it."

The person on the other end of the phone was also straightforward, and said directly: "Tell me, I will cover all the investment for this drama."

"Since you said that, then I'm not going to be polite, four hundred million, how about it? No problem?"

"Haha, although [-] million is a bit much for film and television dramas, but with your golden signboard, Director Li, I voted for it."

Hearing Lao Song's answer on the other end of the phone, Li Zhifeng smiled and said, "Okay, it's refreshing, I'll have dinner with you sometime, let's talk in detail."

Li Zhifeng, who hung up the phone, looked at Xiaoxiao with a smile and said, "How is it? Done!"

"Wow, as expected of Director Li, you are really amazing."

Hearing that the investment problem had been solved, Xiaoxiao immediately burst into laughter and danced excitedly.

"Don't worry, I'm very confident in this movie, and your script is also top-notch. When the time comes, as long as you make this movie well, you can be an investor yourself in the future."

Li Zhifeng's words were not an exaggeration.

Although the rate of return of TV series has obviously lagged behind that of movies in recent years, the income brought by a popular TV series is absolutely amazing.

At the beginning, there was an extremely popular TV series with ratings above 8, and the rights to broadcast on one satellite TV alone sold for 7000 million.

You must know that the cost of this drama is only 3000 million.

In the end, the show was sold to more than a dozen TV stations, plus the advertising revenue, and it was sold for a total of 30 billion, which is a full [-] times the rate of return...

What's more, in addition to TV, there is also online broadcasting, which is another bigger income.

Coupled with the IP expansion of the later scripts, the ability to attract money in the later stages should not be underestimated.

Li Zhifeng has been in the film and television industry for so many years, and he still has a vision. He estimates that after the filming of this drama, the income of 40 billion should be no problem.

"Huh? Investors withdrew their funds? Peter, what's going on?"

When Assistant Wang received Pete's call, he also looked puzzled.

"You don't know yet? Someone started withdrawing their funds yesterday. There are a total of four investors, and three have already withdrawn."

Unbeknownst to Pete, the last one is also now divested.

"There is such a thing? I really don't know, it's too outrageous? Is there something wrong there?"

Assistant Wang kept asking questions.

You must know that although there are many things where investors withdraw their capital halfway, it is really rare for director Li Zhifeng to withdraw their capital.

Moreover, three of the four investors have withdrawn. Could it be that something happened to the crew?

Assistant Wang quickly checked the news. He accompanied Ye Huan to read the script for the past two days on 2.7, and didn't pay much attention to the situation of the crew.

Could it be that Li Zhifeng quit?

After much deliberation by Assistant Wang, this is the only reason for the investors of this show to withdraw their capital.

"Neither."

Assistant Wang checked the news for a long time, but did not see that Li Zhifeng quit.

"The latest news I just got is that the last investor in this show has also withdrawn its investment. I don't think this is an easy matter. You'd better tell Ye Huan to be careful, and I'll check the news related to this matter."

Pete hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Chapter 1583 Gold Signboards Don't Work

When Assistant Wang heard the news, he immediately wanted to inform Ye Huan, but Ye Huan had just fallen asleep, and he didn't want to wake Ye Huan up, so he planned to go to the crew himself.

When I came to the crew, I saw Xiaoxiao and Li Zhifeng were still discussing the script.

Seeing this scene, Assistant Wang's heart was half relieved.

If something really went wrong, Xiaoxiao and Li Zhifeng couldn't have remained so calm.

"Assistant Wang, why are you here? Does Ye Huan have something to say?"

Xiaoxiao stepped forward and asked.

"There's nothing wrong with Ye Huan. It's just that he's been so engrossed in reading the script these two days that he hasn't had much rest. He's sleeping soundly now."

Assistant Wang then asked with a somewhat puzzled expression: "Are you sure there is nothing wrong? I just heard about 25, and the four investors in the previous show have withdrawn their capital. Is this fake news?"

"Have you heard about it so soon? This is not fake news. The previous four investors have indeed withdrawn their funds."

Xiaoxiao nodded.

"Really withdrew the capital? Then you are still so calm?"

Assistant Wang's eyes widened, and he looked at Xiaoxiao in disbelief.

Li Zhifeng on the side smiled, and then said: "So what if the capital is withdrawn? You should know, what is lacking in the film and television industry, there is a shortage of good directors, actors, and scripts. The only thing that is not lacking is investors, because as long as you have money , anyone can be this investor.”

After hearing Li Zhifeng's words, Assistant Wang immediately understood.

With Li Zhifeng's status in the film and television industry, it is not easy to attract a few investors.

Thinking of this, it's no wonder Xiaoxiao and Li Zhifeng were able to discuss the script so calmly.

"Director Li, we are so lucky to have you in this drama."

Assistant Wang spoke sincerely, and he also saw that Li Zhifeng really liked the script, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to solicit investment in person.

You must know that there is no debt that is hard to replace without favor, and what the bigwigs in the film and television industry are most afraid of is owed favors.

For example, an actor asks a director for help, and then the director wants to find this star to star in, even if it is a bad movie, the actor can only hold his nose to act.

This kind of thing has happened before. There was a popular movie star who acted in a bad movie because of paying off his debts, and ended up putting his own future in it.

And when a director like Li Zhifeng asks for help, it will be very difficult for Li Zhifeng to refuse if the investor wants Li Zhifeng to direct the scenes he invests in.

You have to know how much box office you can get with just these three words Li Zhifeng, not to mention Li Zhifeng's director ability.

It is no exaggeration to say that the favor owed by Li Zhifeng, if converted into monetary value, is at least more than [-] million.

It's no wonder that when Li Zhifeng invested with Lao Song La, Lao Song readily agreed.

"Director Li, I really want to thank you for Ye Huan. I believe Ye Huan must be very honored to be able to cooperate with you."

Assistant Wang said sincerely.

After hearing this, Li Zhifeng said modestly: "This is an exaggeration. A good actor like Ye Huan is hard to come by. If a good director can't find a good actor, then it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice."

"Director Li is being humble. Since it's all right, I won't bother you guys discussing the script anymore. I'll go back first."

Assistant Wang stood up and said goodbye.

But before he lifted his foot, Li Zhifeng's phone rang.

"Old Song, what's the matter? You're not in such a hurry to send money here, are you? Don't worry, since I promised you, I won't go back on my word."

Li Zhifeng said with a smile on his face.

On the other end of the phone, Lao Song, who had readily agreed to invest just now, hesitated.

"Director Li, it's not because of this, but..."

"Just say what you want directly."

"It's like this. I'm a little tight on funds recently, and I may not be able to vote for your movie."

After being silent for a while, Lao Song actually regretted the investment he had just promised.

"What? Your funds are a little tight? Don't be kidding. If you don't want to vote, just say so. You don't need to find such an excuse to prevaricate me."

Li Zhifeng said a little angrily.

This old Song is a well-known king of cash flow. He has at least one billion yuan in his hands at any time. It must be an excuse to say that funds are tight.

"Director Li, this time I backtracked, I owe you a favor, but I really can't vote for this drama."

The tone of Lao Song on the other end of the phone was full of helplessness.

Seeing Lao Song say that, Li Zhifeng didn't want to entangle him.

"Forget it, you don't want to vote, some people want to vote."

After Li Zhifeng finished speaking, he wanted to hang up the phone, but Lao Song over there sighed.

"Director Li, I advise you not to waste your efforts in vain. Let me tell you the truth. It's not that I don't have money, nor that I don't want to vote, but that I can't vote."

"And you don't have to think about finding other investors. It would be a waste of effort to find another investor. Now in the entire film and television industry, no one would dare to invest in this movie."

What Lao Song said directly made Li Zhifeng dumbfounded, this was the first time he encountered such a situation.

Chapter 1584

You need to know what Li Zhifeng's status is in the entertainment industry, let alone the huge benefits that Li Zhifeng can bring.

In this way, Lao Song would withdraw his investment and say such things.

No one in the entire film and television industry dares to vote for this drama?

Li Zhifeng was stunned when he heard this, how could this be possible?

Just such a crew that hasn't started filming yet, how can they still offend such a powerful figure?

And how can there really be such a powerful person in the entertainment industry?How dare you block a crew like this?And there is still Li Zhifeng in the crew?
