Chapter 242 The actors are in place!
From the day Ye Lin decided to make a movie, Brother Bin studied and understood relevant knowledge like crazy. He hoped that he could take on the role of executive director and become Ye Lin's right-hand man during the filming of "The Unknown Man".

At the same time, this is also a rare opportunity for him. If he makes this movie, he will have entered the film industry. He will have a masterpiece in the future and can change his career to a film director at any time.

Xing Yingying continues to live broadcast every day as usual. Her live broadcast on a certain fish platform is very stable. After some push and pull, she signed the most cost-effective live broadcast contract with a certain fish platform and became a member of Sanxing Media. A cash cow that can earn the company a few million in revenue every month.

Fat Brother joked that Xing Yingying’s income alone can support everyone in our company.

Xing Yingying's current fan base has gradually formed. People who like her like her very much, just like her, watching other anchors cough.

Next, we need to help Xing Yingying record the official version of "You Shouldn't Use Love" and publish it online. This task will be left to Teacher Song and Sister Guozi. They will start to deal with it after they finish looking for actors.

For Zhao Xuening, Ye Lin gave her many original songs, which were enough for her to go from the blind audition round to the finals of The Voice. During this time, she has been practicing these songs wholeheartedly.

Little Fatty Han Rui is also busy during this time. Since he took over a commercial performance at a music festival in Shanghai, he has been doing live broadcasts every now and then. Then there are a lot of commercial performances and endorsements in the southwest area. He often travels on business, and occasionally When he has time, he goes to the gym with his fat brother to exercise and lose weight. His life is very well-arranged and very fulfilling and busy.

Ye Lin can feel a little more relaxed these days. Apart from looking at the actors' affairs, there is nothing else to be busy with. He needs to rest and relax.

As for the funding limit of more than 500 million yuan that is still short, there is no need to worry about it. It is probably because I learned that Ye Lin’s movie is really going to be filmed. In the past few days, bosses have expressed their intention to invest in Ye Lin. Ye Lin has also The quota is stuck and they do not accept investments that are too large.

"Everyone, come here, let me tell you something!"

On this day, Ye Lin gathered all the employees of the company together to announce something.

"Everyone must have heard about my plans to make a movie in the past few days. At present, the investment is nearing completion. The investment amount of 3000 million is about to be fully invested. I have specially set aside part of the amount for my colleagues in our company. …”

"Let me talk about this investment. If the movie is shot ideally, the box office will not be too bad. The rate of return is probably between five and ten times. Let's assume that the rate of return is ten times. If you invest 1 yuan now, the box office will be You can get 10 yuan by paying dividends, so this can be regarded as a unique benefit for our company's employees. Of course, this is voluntary. If you have plenty of money and some spare money, you can invest a little. If you don't want to invest, don't force it, because There are many bosses out there vying to vote for my movie..."

"Finally, let's talk about the investment regulations. 5000 yuan is equivalent to one share. Investments below 5000 yuan are not accepted. The maximum limit for one person is 50000 yuan. No matter how much you want to invest, you can't!"

Ye Lin's move is indeed for the benefit of the company's employees. He is actually not short of investment now, but he leaves the profitable investment opportunities to the company's employees.

Each person's investment will have an independent contract to prove it. Just take this certificate when dividing accounts in the future.

After he said this, everyone was in an uproar, and they were all talking about investing in Ye Lin's movie.

None of them have ever encountered this kind of thing. Some people would think that this is equivalent to paying to go to work. I come to work to make money, but in the end I have to invest the money for my boss to make a movie?
Some people think this is an opportunity. They trust Ye Lin and believe that Ye Lin can make money if his movies are made. Ye Lin is indeed not short of them. Whether he can seize this opportunity depends on the individual. Think about it.

After all, it is rare for a film project to raise funds from the general public, and even a minimum investment of 5000 yuan is required. This threshold is really low, allowing ordinary people like them to have the opportunity to participate in carving up this movie cake.

Not long after Ye Lin said this, many employees immediately started asking how to invest and who should give the money?

Those with little money invested 5000 yuan, while those with more money wanted to invest [-] to [-] yuan. After all, Ye Lin's fame and traffic are here, and he has successively made Xiaopang, Zhao Xuening and Xing Yingying popular. The employees who came early are all right He's very trusting.

"Fat brother, please arrange this!"

Ye Lin left the matter to Fat Brother and did not explain too much.

Originally, this investment was voluntary. If you want to invest, just invest. If you don't want to, forget it. He didn't say these things just to deceive everyone's money.

……

in the office.

Ye Lin was sitting with Teacher Song squeezing his shoulders behind him. Teacher Song said:
"Ye Lin, if you do this, the employees may not appreciate your kindness, and some may even think that you are cheating them of their money..."

She actually didn't agree with Ye Lin letting the company's employees participate in the investment of the movie.

As soon as this matter was announced, the employees started talking a lot, and there were a lot of negative speculations among them. Everyone came to work to make money, but they may not accept his kindness and believe his deception.

Besides, it’s okay if the movie makes money. If the movie fails and fails to make money, all the investment will be in vain. Will the employees who invested then agree?

"It doesn't matter. This policy is for those who trust me. Some people are unwilling to vote at all, while others wish they could vote more. Anyway, it is voluntary. We are all adults and can make our own choices."

Ye Lin said nonchalantly that he didn't mind what some employees said. If you don't want to vote, some people are willing to vote. When the day comes when the accounts are divided, I believe some will be happy and some will regret it.

At the same time, this move can also show which employees trust him more. If you want to promote some people to management in the future, you can give priority to selecting from these people who trust him.

Teacher Song nodded. Ye Lin's words were not unreasonable. He was just giving the right to choose. As for whether to invest or not, it is up to the employees themselves. Investment is inherently risky. Adults have to pay for their own choices, even if they end up losing money. Ye Lin can't be blamed entirely.

"By the way, actor Zhang Yu is arriving in Chengdu this afternoon. Who do you want to pick him up?"

Teacher Song asked. Zhang Yu had communicated in advance that he would set off from Kyoto and arrive in Chengdu at about four o'clock in the afternoon.

Ye Lin nodded and immediately called Liu Chen and arranged for Liu Chen to pick up Zhang Yu at the airport and bring him to the company first. Zhang Yu probably wanted to talk to him about the movie "The Unknown Man".

……

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Chen successfully received Zhang Yu at Tianfu Airport.

He drove Zhang Yu straight to the IFS Building.

"Is your company on this?"

After getting off the car, Zhang Yu looked up at the IFS Building and suddenly felt like a local dog from the village. He was surprised that Ye Lin's company was so high-end.

"Yes, we are a very young company. We are all young people and the atmosphere is very good..."

Liu Chen smiled and led Zhang Yu upstairs to the door of Sanxing Media.

From the door, you can see that the inside is very spacious. People working there are very relaxed, wearing colorful clothes and walking around with water glasses. This feeling left a very good impression on Zhang Yu. He is quite tall and classy, ​​like Office space in TV series.

Liu Chen stepped forward to say hello to the HR lady, and then led Zhang Yu directly to Ye Lin's office. "Hello!"

Ye Lin stood up and shook hands with Zhang Yu, welcoming him to Chengdu.

"Hello, Director Ye!"

Zhang Yu stretched out his hands to shake hands with Ye Lin. He had seen Ye Lin in short videos before, but now he saw Ye Lin offline. He was even more surprised. Ye Lin was younger, more handsome, and more attractive than he expected. The scene is so strong that it makes him have no sense of existence.

"Sit, sit, sit, how old are you? You look quite young?"

Ye Lin stretched out his hand to invite Zhang Yu to sit down. Zhang Yu was wearing a white shirt, a beard, dark eyebrows, and a pair of round gold-rimmed glasses. He looked very elegant and artistic.

"Director Ye is joking, I am 36 years old this year..."

Zhang Yu smiled sheepishly. He was a full round older than Ye Lin, but he was still younger.

"I can't tell. He looks like he's in his early 30s."

Ye Lin told him to relax, stay away from outsiders, treat it as his own home, and chat casually.

Zhang Yu nodded, feeling that Ye Lin was relatively easy to get along with and had no airs, and then Liu Chen made Zhang Yu a cup of tea.

While drinking tea and chatting, Zhang Yu was most concerned about the movie "The Unknown", and the topic soon turned to this movie.

"Director Ye, I heard that you wrote the script for "The Unknown"? Wow, I was so impressed after reading this script. The story is so amazing and exciting!"

Zhang Yu was very excited. He said that this was the best movie script he had ever seen. Just looking at the script, it was definitely an amazing movie!
Ye Lin nodded and chatted with him about the script for about half an hour. It was obvious that Zhang Yu liked the role of Hu Guangsheng in "The Unknown" very much and had a strong desire to play the role.

After the chat, he was still very worried. He didn't know what Ye Lin's impression of him was, and whether he could win the role of "Hu Guangsheng"?
"If you were asked to play Hu Guangsheng, would you accept the transformation of your image?"

Ye Lin asked, including hairstyle, makeup and clothing, to see how Zhang Yu would accept it.

"No problem, Director Ye, I will do whatever you say. Don't worry about that. The professionalism of an actor means that I will obey the director's arrangements!"

Zhang Yu said swornly, saying that he completely obeyed Ye Lin's arrangements and instructions. He didn't care about his image, and he had no problem playing a clown.

"OK, that's okay. The role of Hu Guangsheng is yours!"

Ye Lin didn't ask Zhang Yu to audition. Without saying anything, he directly decided that Zhang Yu would play the role of Hu Guangsheng.

"What? Really, this... Director Ye, are you sure?"

Zhang Yu was surprised. He wondered if his ears had heard it wrong. He didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

Ye Lin smiled and nodded, saying that's right, it's just you. Then he and Zhang Yu discussed the issue of remuneration.

That night, Ye Lin arranged for Zhang Yu to stay in a hotel. Zhang Yu was very satisfied and had been completely bought by Ye Lin.

During the meal, Ye Lin called Brother Fat and Brother Bin and had a good meal with Zhang Yu. At the dinner table, Zhang Yu was filled with emotion.

"Director Ye, you are completely beyond my expectation! Originally, I thought you were just an internet celebrity singer, and I was worried about your ability to direct the film "The Unknown"... But when I met you today , both your conversation and your behavior are far beyond my expectations. You do have your own unique insights into movies and your abilities are outstanding. No matter what others think, I believe in your film. ‘The Unknown’ can be successful!”

Zhang Yu spoke the truth after drinking and admired Ye Lin greatly.

Especially in terms of Ye Lin's conduct as a person, it can be said that he can't find any faults. He is convinced to work under such a director.

Ye Lin smiled modestly. He actually did nothing. He just chatted with Zhang Yu about "The Unknown" in the afternoon, manipulated Zhang Yu in terms of salary, and took great care of Zhang Yu's arrangements. That's all. In several aspects, Zhang Yu felt that he was not simple.

"There will be other actors arriving tomorrow. Since you praised me so well, you must say good things about me in front of other actors then!"

Ye Lin smiled and raised his glass to toast Zhang Yu.

What a new director like him lacks is prestige. It is not easy to convince the actors to convince him. He needs someone to stand on his side and speak for him.

Zhang Yu understood immediately and knew that this was a big opportunity for him. If his performance this time could win the favor of Director Ye, his future would be brighter, and he might be cast in the next movie.

He immediately expressed his loyalty in front of Ye Lin and promised that no matter what, he would only follow Ye Lin's arrangements and instructions. If anything happened, Ye Lin would just call him.

This is a smart guy.

……

the next day.

Ren Suxi came to Chengdu, and Sister Guozi drove her to the company. Not long after, the two leading actors, Pan Binlong and Chen Jianbin, also came to Chengdu one after another. Ye Lin arranged for someone to pick them up at the company.

Zhang Yu has regarded this place as his home court. He helped greet Ren Suxi, Pan Binlong and Chen Jianbin, served tea and water, and was very active in his busy schedule.

In the afternoon, Ye Lin held a special meeting on "The Unknown" and called together the four leading actors Zhang Yu, Ren Suxi, Chen Jianbin and Pan Binlong to talk about things related to the movie. At the same time, they If you have any questions, you can ask them and he will answer them centrally.

Because of his youth and his lack of film-related experience, several leading actors inevitably have some doubts about him as a director. This meeting can help them understand Ye Lin better and dispel their doubts.

At the meeting, Ye Lin's professional film knowledge, clear logic, and aura and ability to control the whole scene made them admire him as a young director.

In addition, Zhang Yu Wu Nao stood by Ye Lin and said a lot of good things to him, and everyone became more and more convinced of Ye Lin.

　I had something to do during the day, so I just typed out a chapter now, I'm sorry.
