Chapter 40 Do you have money now?

In its previous life, "Charlotte's Troubles" had a production cost of 2100 million and finally achieved a box office revenue of 14.45 billion, which directly shocked the entire entertainment industry.

If you can invest, or convert your film pay into components or something, you can really become rich overnight!

So Lin Feng said excitedly: "Sister Jing, the reason why I am willing to participate in "Charlotte's Troubles" is because I like its script.
Its story is very good, and the plot is very cool and funny;
Although Shen Teng and Ma Li are both skit actors, they are also comedians and are very popular with the audience.
This is the typical rhythm of a low-budget hit comedy. Thinking about the previous "Lost in Thailand", I think this movie has the potential to be a big hit!
As for whether I can be the male lead or not, it doesn't matter. I mainly want to broaden my acting range and try comedy.

After all, I am not a comedian. If I were to be the lead actor, I might not be able to handle it. "

After explaining the participation to Zhang Jing, Lin Feng focused on the salary. "I always feel that this movie will be a hit, so we can't give up the salary.

As for the crew not having money to pay the film's salary, that's easier to say. We can just exchange the film's salary for a share of the box office revenue. If the crew still needs investment, can we invest a little bit too? "

"Are you so sure that it will be a hit?" After watching the two dramas "Swords of Legends" and "Come on, My Love", Zhang Jing also began to believe in Lin Feng's vision for dramas.

"I am absolutely certain that it will explode! Listen to me, Sister Jing, let's talk about profit sharing first, then investment. I believe in your ability." Lin Feng said affirmatively.

But Zhang Jing asked Lin Feng a very serious question, and Lin Feng was stunned, "Do you have money now?"

This is a problem. Although Lin Feng has become popular, it has not yet been converted into real purchasing power.

What's more, Lin Feng still owes Tangren 195 million in termination fees, so he has to pay it back quickly and can't delay any longer.

"Then let's just talk about profit sharing. It must be profit sharing. I don't want any salary at all!" Lin Feng said helplessly.

As for whether "Charlotte's Troubles" would not use him, Lin Feng had never thought about it. With Lin Feng's current popularity, anyone except "Happy Trouble" would be a fool to refuse his participation.

Maybe, if Lin Feng really wants to play the leading role in "Charlotte's Troubles", "Happy Trouble" will also readily agree.

After all, Shen Teng at this time is just Shen Teng, not the Shen Teng who starred in "Charlotte's Troubles" and had a box office of nearly 15 billion, let alone the "billion-dollar movie emperor" in the future.

As for Lin Feng's role as the "second male lead", which might be a downgrade in status, he can simply avoid it by calling it a "special appearance". Anyway, "Yuan Hua" doesn't have many parts, and "Charlotte's Troubles" is still a movie, so it can't be considered a downgrade in status.

***
Since Lin Feng had made up his mind, Zhang Jing didn't think too much about it. She also realized that no matter how much she objected, no one could change what Lin Feng had decided on.

The only thing Zhang Jing could do was to help Lin Feng deal with the follow-up matters as much as possible, finishing the first part and then moving on to the second work.

"The first one was a low-budget comedy, in which he played the second male lead. So the second one can't be another low-budget comedy!" Zhang Jing asked seriously.

"The second film is definitely not a low-budget one, but strictly speaking it's still a comedy, just a suspense comedy.

This role is the second male lead, but strictly speaking it should be a movie with two male leads, and the role is enough to be outstanding, that is "Detective Chinatown". "

The "Detective Chinatown" trilogy can be regarded as the box office champion of mainland China's series of movies. Although each trilogy is worse than the last, the box office is higher than the last.

But this is easy to understand, because the good reputation of the first part led to the huge success of the second part.

Just like the "Matrix" trilogy, the first one was a masterpiece but had the lowest box office, while the second and third ones had high box office but bad reputation.

The box office of the first "Detective Chinatown" was 8.23 million yuan, the second one was 33.97 billion yuan, and the third one was 45.23 billion yuan. The total is 87.43 billion yuan, nearly billion yuan!

Apart from director Chen Sicheng, the biggest beneficiary of Detective Chinatown is Liu Haoran, who played Qin Feng. He created a post-95s " billion box office". Although these " billion box office" are fake now, many of them are not starring, and many movies are compilation movies, but at least they are still impressive!

Zhang Jing looked at Lin Feng and thought it was good. She nodded and said, "This movie is good.

Although Chen Sicheng is a new director, he has also directed the movie "Beijing Love Story", which has a box office of over 4 million. He is a very talented director.
The other main character is Wang Baoqiang, who has excellent acting skills and has also starred in representative works such as "A World Without Thieves" and "Lost in Thailand".

The investor behind the film is Wanda, which has invested 8000 million yuan. With Wanda Cinemas doing subsequent promotion, the box office is guaranteed.

This movie is really suitable for newcomers like us who have just entered the film industry. It has investment, directors and actors. The actor configuration is 'one old and one new', which is quite good.

But the only downside is that I heard that Chen Sicheng wanted to use Liu Haoran, a newcomer from his own agency, for this movie."

This is indeed a problem.

At this time, whether in terms of appearance, acting skills, or popularity, Lin Feng is definitely better than Liu Haoran.

Compared with Lin Feng, Liu Haoran's only advantage is that he is a contracted artist under Chen Sicheng's company.

Otherwise, why could Liu Haoran, a newcomer who is nothing, directly play the leading role in a movie? Isn’t it because he is an artist under the company!
Just like Lin Feng, why was he able to play the leading role in "Gu Jian Qi Tan" right from the start? It was because he was an artist of Huanrui.

However, Lin Feng still wanted to strive for it. After all, no one except himself knew the future success of "Detective Chinatown".

If a star of Hu Ge's level had taken the initiative to ask for a role when Lin Feng was performing in "Gu Jian Qi Tan", Lin Feng did not believe that Huanrui would not be tempted in the face of absolute benefits.

Besides, Chen Sicheng probably had no idea at the moment. After all, this was only his second movie, and it was a big production with an investment of hundreds of millions.

The main reason for the success of the first movie "Beijing Love Story" was the added bonus of the TV series of the same name.

This concerns Chen Sicheng's future development and the success or failure of the "Detective Chinatown" series of films. Chen Sicheng must be very cautious.

With a top-tier traffic star like Lin Feng taking the initiative to participate, let alone Liu Haoran being his artist, even if he was his new son, Lin Feng didn't believe that he wouldn't be tempted.

Even if Chen Sicheng is not tempted, wouldn’t Wanda, the “financial backer” behind him, be tempted? That 8000 million investment is real!
So Lin Feng also made preparations for both situations. "Sister Jing, for "Detective Chinatown", we can just follow the normal procedures.
On the one hand, we will first connect with Chen Sicheng to show our strength and express our intention to participate in "Qin Feng";
On the other hand, we also need to say hello to Wanda, the investor behind the scenes, and reduce the pay appropriately. Of course, it would be better if the pay is exchanged for achievements.

As for the final result, we will try our best. If this movie doesn’t happen, we still have other movies!"

The reason why he reduced his pay for the first movie was to earn more for the second one. Lin Feng is not a fool.

Of course, it would be better if the pay could be converted into achievements. After all, this is also a movie with a box office of over 8 million yuan.

"Well, okay, I understand, I will try my best.

By the way, Lin Feng, are you willing to participate in a variety show? Do you have any concerns about this?"
