Chapter 82 Do you have any ideas about the male protagonist?
Soon, Lin Feng found Wen Muye, a young boy who had just graduated from graduate school, at his alma mater, the Film Academy. He was a big boy wearing large square glasses and had a slightly melancholy temperament.

When Lin Feng found Wen Muye with the script he had already written, "Better Days", he was very surprised.
If Wen Muye didn't know that Lin Feng was a big star, he would have thought that Lin Feng was a liar.

As soon as Wen Muye read the script, he liked it at first sight. This was the movie he had always wanted to make. He had no reason to refuse. Besides, he had never proven himself and didn't even have a work.

But Wen Muye couldn't understand why Lin Feng chose a new director like him to direct the film, especially with such an excellent script.

"Lin Feng, to be honest, I'm flattered by you. Why did you choose me as the director?"

What other reason could there be? Isn't it because you were successful in your previous life and are good at making movies of this type?

But Lin Feng couldn't say that. Fortunately, he did some research before coming. "The reason I chose you is because I have seen several short films you directed before.

Not only the color pictures, but also the lens language are handled very well, with a strong sense of realism.
My script is based on my real experience, and it is a typical realistic film, which is very suitable for you. "

Although Wen Muye has not directed a feature film yet, he has made many short films and won many awards. He is not a pure novice director.

Seeing that Wen Muye was still a little confused, Lin Feng continued, "To be honest, I don't know any big directors, and the ones I do know don't look up to me, so I can only look for you."

After Lin Feng said this, Wen Muye felt relieved, but he did not forget to fight for conditions for himself.

"If I were to direct this movie, would you trust me with all your heart?"

"Of course. You are the director, so you have the final say on the set. I will only offer some suggestions. If you think they are good, you can adopt them."

"Does it include casting? Does it include editing? Does it include filming?" Wen Muye was worried that Lin Feng wanted him to be the director, but he would just be a puppet.

"Well, of course, you have the final say on this, after all, you are the director. But as for the leading actress,
When I wrote the script, I had two candidates in mind. I will give them both an audition opportunity, and you can decide who to choose.”

"What about the two candidates for the female lead?"

"Zhao Liying, Zhou Dongyu."

Wen Muye thought about it for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "They are all good, and their acting skills and images are quite suitable for the heroine."

Neither of them mentioned anything about the male lead, so there was no doubt that it was only Lin Feng's.

Finally, Wen Muye also expressed his opinion to Lin Feng: "Since you trust me so much, I will definitely use it. Besides, this is my first feature film in my life, so don't worry."

"Well, I believe you."

...

After dealing with Wen Muye, Lin Feng found Huanrui's Jiang Lei again. Seeing Lin Feng coming to his house with another script,
Jiang Lei was confused. He had just convinced many people to prepare for the last "Descendants of the Sun". How come Lin Feng brought another script?

"Brother Jiang, you don't look very happy." Lin Feng was no longer shy towards Jiang Lei.

"Why should I be happy? The 'big brother' of my own company is unwilling to act in his own drama, and only knows how to act in dramas outside. Now he has started to act in dramas written by himself.
You don't even know how much effort I put into convincing Mr. Zhong to invest in your film "Descendants of the Sun". Actually, it's not Mr. Zhong's fault. The main reason is that your film "Descendants of the Sun" is about military themes, which makes it difficult to place advertisements. That's why Mr. Zhong was reluctant to invest. 1 million is really not a small amount!"

"When Descendants of the Sun becomes popular, you will make back all your money. By the way, aren't you short of money?
Then I don’t want my salary, just give me the investment for “Descendants of the Sun”.” Lin Feng was worried about not having enough money to invest.

"That's fine. After all, you're getting paid a lot now. But what kind of TV series do you want to shoot this time?" Jiang Lei asked curiously.

"I'm planning to make a movie. This time I'm not looking for Huanrui to invest. I'm looking for investment from Enlight Media, the shareholder behind Huanrui. Brother Jiang, please ask for me." Lin Feng said straightforwardly.

"Now you want to make a movie, let me tell you, making a movie is more risky than making a TV series. The waters are much deeper than making a TV series.
Even if you can't make a lot of money from making TV series, at least you won't lose much either, and it's at least stable, but it's different with movies, you can lose all your money!" Jiang Lei advised.

"That's why I asked you to be the producer. Brother Jiang, I'm going to trouble you for this film, "Better Days." Lin Feng pleaded.

The reason why Lin Feng was unwilling to be a producer or director was not only because he did not have the ability in this area, but also because these two jobs were too tiring.

It is necessary to coordinate relationships among various aspects and integrate these resources. This is not a job that ordinary people can do.

Besides, to be a person who can organize a group, you don’t have to be a producer or director. Look at Cheng Long and Zhou Xingxing.

No one knows who directed the movies they acted in. People only know that they were works by Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow.

Maybe Lin Feng cannot make a name for himself now, but after he succeeds two or three times, or four or five times, his personal brand will be established.

"Descendants of the Sun" has already exhausted me enough. If I accept this movie from you, you will just tire me to death." Jiang Lei complained.

"Brother Jiang, please take a look at the script first. It is definitely a good script." Lin Feng tempted.

Jiang Lei was fooled. After he finished reading the script, his eyes were wet and he kept saying,
"This is really your script. You are really a genius. If this movie is well made, the box office will be good."

I didn't expect that Jiang Lei was only attracted to Lin Feng's looks back then, but now Lin Feng is using his talent to conquer the world. What kind of monster is he?

"So, you agree. I have already found the director for this movie. Wait for me to introduce him to you.

As for investment, the production cost of this film is only 6000 million at most. I personally plan to invest 1000 million, which, including my salary, will be 2000 million.
For the remaining investment share, I plan to invite at least two or three film and television companies to come in, each with an investment of about 10 or 20 million.

If Huanrui invests, they can also invest a little bit." Lin Feng roughly explained his thoughts. He gave himself a salary of 1000 million, which was also the market price.

"Okay, this price is very reasonable, no problem. I will help you coordinate with Huanrui and Guangguang. I will contact you when the time comes."

Jiang Lei nodded, then he thought of something and continued to ask, "By the way, Huanrui is planning to invest in the production of "Zhu Xian". Do you have any idea about the male lead?"
