Chapter 678: Xiao Wu can be trusted(1/2)
"You all know each other and have contact information. It's not like he can't do this kind of thing."
Lanmasanti lowered her head and nodded gently: This is indeed a difficult problem, she couldn't help but think so.
Filmmaking is a very expensive project. Basically speaking, especially these so-called top-notch big-budget films, there is rarely a lack of funds or financial difficulties at the end of the filming.
Life is very difficult for everyone. In fact, Ranmasanti is also very aware of things in the film industry. When there is a gap in funding, it is often not intentional by the director.
Even in order to maintain the filming of the movie, at least the finished product of the movie must be produced, and the director also hopes to save as much as possible.
Try to keep expenses within a controllable range and don't cause trouble to investors. However, the film's funding is really not something that the director can control.
The industry is able to make movies quickly, and at the same time, it can also ensure that there is no additional investment every time, the cost control is very precise, and the director who is very good at it, to put it exaggeratedly, can count it on five fingers.
It’s really such an exaggeration!
Therefore, in this circle, additional investment is a very common thing, and it is not unusual for Ranmasanti.
At the very least, Lao Zhang is a fast photographer. A movie, no matter how big it is, can be completed in three months at most, and there will never be unlimited delays.
This is a hundred times better than those slow directors, and only the time cost saved is enough to satisfy the investment company.
You know, once a movie project starts running, as long as the stall is open for a day and you do nothing, the expenses will be huge.
This is like those who open a small shop. No matter whether there are customers today or not, as long as you open the shop, whether it is water, electricity, gas or labor costs, you will continue to spend money.
These expenses will not be consumed just because you didn't sell anything today, or you stopped working temporarily. There is no possibility at all.
Therefore, once the capital chain is broken, it will be a huge disaster for the film director.
After all, although the movie is his personal work and bears his name, when making the movie, he is only the executor, and the investment does not belong to him.
He also has no cash flow, and if there is a funding gap, he has no place to get money to make up for it.
So, we had to turn to investors and ask them for additional investment.
This is something that is understandable, and as a senior investor, Ranmasanti can understand it.
However, understanding is all understanding, and Ramashanti still has strong opinions.
There are two reasons.
First, I can understand that you want money, but now that I have become an investor in San Yan Er Pai, if you want money, can you come to me directly?
Why do you always let Wu Di pass the news in the middle?
Aren't you obviously taking advantage of my weakness? Knowing that I feel sorry for my son, you let him speak every time, expecting that I wouldn't dare to refuse.
Isn't this just scheming?
Doesn't this mean he is treating Ranmasanti as a sick cat?
If Wu Di wasn't in the middle today, would Lan Masanti give Lao Zhang a look? Would she support him with a copper coin?
Who is he?
Second, if you want money, you can.
I am an investor, so I should be responsible for this part. There is no need to say this.
In fact, if Lao Zhang came to ask for the money in a polite way, Ranmasanti might not agree.
It’s not necessarily that we won’t give money, but now, many things need to be reconsidered.
It's understandable that you want the movie to be well-funded, but you can't start thinking about what to do if you don't have enough money in the future before filming has officially started.
This is a bit excessive.
wrong.
This is too much!
Ranmasanti has been in the industry for so many years, so of course she is not a vegetarian, and she will not let down her guard against Lao Zhang just because of her son.
Those were all money, real money. She couldn't invest it and ignore the subsequent results.
However, when she discovered the problem, if Wu Di hadn't been in the middle, she would have followed the rules and dealt with them according to the rules.
However, when it came to Lao Zhang, Lanmasanti still became soft-hearted.
She had already had her own information channel and knew the progress of the crew. She would not have made that call unless she couldn't bear it anymore.
Now that they have been beaten, it is enough to see that Lanmasanti cannot bear it anymore and will never invest more in Lao Zhang!
Now, it's even more impossible.
Look at what Wu Di was like after being tortured. Is this what Lao Zhang did?
If Lao Zhang really respected Lanmasanti as an investor from the bottom of his heart, considering her face, he shouldn't have let Wu Di appear in the movie with such a look!
Also starring!
If the whole movie looked like this, Ranmasanti wished that Wu Di was the one showing his face and the plot would be over in one minute. It would be better than this!
But, this is the reality.
The movie will continue to be shot, but it can be seen with the naked eye that the money for this movie is not enough, and it will have to be added later.
Lao Zhang must finish filming the movie!
And the funds are definitely not enough!
What to do?
When you don't have money, it's hard to use your gentlemanly demeanor or the dignity of an old-timer. As long as you can get money to continue filming, I believe Lao Zhang will definitely be embarrassed and go directly to Ranmasanti to ask for money.
"Don't worry about this. After seeing your appearance today, I won't just give them additional investment casually."
"I know that we are working on a film project. In the end, many things have to be compromised, otherwise the film will not be produced and we will not be able to recover all our money."
"However, I will never give them money so easily. Lao Zhang really disappointed me this time!"
"I thought that he would at least look at you as his prospective son-in-law and dress you up beautifully to appear in the movie. Who knew that he would assign you such a role?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Look, what was that just now!"
"That's too much!"
Ranmasanti gritted her teeth and looked out the window fiercely, as if Lao Zhang was standing there, waiting for him to explode.
What a pity, Lao Zhang can’t teleport, so how could he get here?
The most important thing is that Lao Zhang didn't know they were here. Even if he knew, he didn't dare to come over to prevent being blasted.
"Okay, as long as you can be more vigilant, I don't have anything to say. I believe in your ability."
Although he kept talking and basically didn't stop, Wu Di still finished a plate of seafood fried rice without wasting any.
Lanmasanti was also very surprised by his good appetite.
"Don't you need to do body management?"
"After all, you can be considered a youth idol, so you should be more careful."
Unexpectedly, Ms. Lan is still so fashionable. She would think of something like this that even male stars would still look down upon more than ten years later.
No wonder he can be the big boss!
No wonder it’s a female boss!
The perspective is just different.
"Don't worry, I won't gain weight recently. In order for me to play this role well, Lao Zhang makes me exercise every day. Not only am I not fat, I have also lost weight!"
"He also asked you to exercise?" This time, it was Lanmasanti who was curious.
"Since I want you to exercise, why do I need to put a fake belly on you? I just ask you not to exercise and just grow fat on your own."
That’s right!
Since he wants his belly to be so big that it can be exposed from his waistcoat, why is he still asking Wu Di to go to the gym every day?
Wu Di felt more and more that there was something intentional about Lao Zhang's behavior.
Isn't this taking off your pants to fart?
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Do you really want to play? Just such a role?"
Ranmasanti touched her chest and almost burst into tears.
"I really don't think it's worth it. We have invested so much and provided him with so many conveniences, but what about him?"
"On the other hand, use such a rubbish character to frustrate me!"
"I can not accept!"
"If you don't want to, I will go talk to Lao Zhang and ask him to change your role. We must not suffer any loss!"
Yes!
Ms. Ranmasanti’s bottom line is not to suffer losses. For this movie, it would be fine if she didn’t pay for it. Since she has paid for it and there is a close relationship between the two parties, how could Lao Zhang treat Wu Di like this?
However, it is not easy to withdraw investment at this stage, which will have a huge impact on Lanmasanti Company.
