Liu Huiling said delicately, "So I hope to reach a cooperation with Director Lin this time, so that I can also benefit from Director Lin's influence."
Lin Yi understood what was going on. He guessed that Liu Huiling had bought the ticket to Huangshan on the spot. With luck, Huangshan became prosperous, and she also became a director's wife.
After a simple greeting, several people sat down one after another. The waiter appeared in time and brought some highballs and wine. The classic three-layer dessert for British afternoon tea was prepared in a unique way.
"Don't mind me, Mr. Lin. I like to save money. I think it's a bit of a waste to prepare a table full of food and then throw it all away before eating a few bites. That's why I chose this place to discuss business," Huang Shan explained with a smile.
Anyone who hears such an excuse will feel comfortable and will have a better impression of Huangshan.
In fact, Lin Yi also hated wasteful behavior and nodded in agreement.
"That's right. I also like to be frugal. I don't care about these things. Let's talk about business." Lin Yi smiled without comment.
"As expected of Director Lin, you are so straightforward. I like working with people like you. However, if we don't drink a little wine during our cooperation, it feels like something is missing." Huang Shan said to Liu Huiling, "Xiaoling, go open the wine and fill Director Lin's glass."
Liu Huiling responded charmingly, and without forgetting to give Lin Yi a wink, she went to open the wine.
Luo Ankang took out a document from a briefcase on the sofa and handed it to Lin Yi.
"Director Lin, this is the outline of the new movie's script. I've been in this industry for more than 20 years, and I've already figured out what scripts will be popular and what won't."
"From what I understand, as long as there are no problems with funding and other aspects of this film, it will have no problem winning an Academy Award," Luo Ankang assured confidently.
Lin Yi took a quick look and found that it was a low-cost comedy, which was a popular comedy nowadays. The last part would add some sensationalism and tell some stories about the philosophy of life.
However, Lin Yi took a look at the budget cost and found it was actually eight million, which was three million more than the five million shown in the information Wang Jie gave him.
Lin Yi didn't think too much and asked directly: "Excuse me, why is the budget of our company manager's proposal for me five million, and why do you want eight million?"
Huang Shan looked very calm. If he wasn't being honest, then he had been prepared. He said, "It's like this, Director Lin. We just made a thorough estimate yesterday. Because there were some problems with my previous estimates of the computer special effects, I just revised them today."
"Although it is indeed an extra three million, I can guarantee that the theme and special effects of this movie are good, and you will definitely make a lot of money. By then, this mere three million will be nothing."
After saying that, he took the wine glass from his wife Liu Huiling, handed it to Lin Yi and said, "Come on, let's have a drink first."
Lin Yi took the wine glass and drank with them, but he did chuckle in his heart. This low-cost comedy film had a total investment of 5 million in the beginning, and then he took it and suddenly said that an additional 3 million was added because of special effects. Who would believe it
Do you think the investors are fools? How high is the special effects required for such a small-scale movie
Although Lin Yi drank the wine, he didn't buy it.
"Director Huang, I think this is not a budget issue, but a credibility issue. If you say it will cost eight million to make this movie, I'm sorry, I won't be back today." Lin Yi said coldly.
