After arranging the purchase of the copyright, Lin Shu returned to the hotel.

Yesterday, the box office of Sherlock dropped below 5 million. This weak trend is expected to not even reach 250 million.

I just don’t know which one will be higher in the final box office compared to Red Cliff.

Due to Sherlock's siphoning of the market, the final box office of Red Cliff was only 230 million. Crazy Racing, which originally could have exceeded 100 million, now only received 80 million, and it is unable to continue to exceed 100 million.

After all, the movie market is too small. As long as a giant-level movie is released, other movies will be more or less affected.

Just like the movie The Founding of the People's Republic of China, which was promoted by China Film Group Corporation in September this year, whoever is on the same schedule as it is just asking for good luck. In addition to this movie, at the end of the year, there will be Avatar, which has the highest box office in film history.

It can be said that the popular movie schedules in the second half of the year have already become places of death. In order to avoid these two movies, Lin Shu could only rush to work and release the sequel of Sherlock in the summer schedule.

The taxi stopped in front of the hotel. After Lin Shu got out of the car, he quickly walked towards the hotel.

After entering the hotel and feeling the embrace of the heater, Lin Shu couldn't help but shake his shoulders. When he squinted his eyes and took a long breath, a familiar voice sounded from beside him.

"Director Lin, I'm here to find you."

Lin Shu opened his eyes and saw Zhang Songwen wearing a large down jacket and a cashmere hat.

"Song Wen, have you been here for a long time? Why don't you call me? Wait a minute, let's go have lunch together!"

"No, there's no need to eat. Director Lin, I didn't wait for you long. When I came, the hotel doorman said that you were out, and I had nothing to do, so I stayed here waiting for you. Besides, there is heating here, which is better than renting it.

The house must be comfortable.”

Zhang Songwen said with a smile, his current appearance is exactly the same as that of Gao Qiqiang, who had not yet made his fortune. He acted in his true self in that movie Kuangqiang.

When Lin Shu saw him saying this, he didn't force it. Although the two had communicated in the previous life, they could not be counted as present. If Lin Shu treats Zhang Songwen too enthusiastically now, it will make the other party extremely uncomfortable.

"Song Wen, are you here today to give me an answer to what happened at the last celebration banquet?"

"Yes, but before that, Director Lin, can I ask why you want to sign me?"

In response to this question, Lin Shu laughed, "It's very simple, because you are cheap and easy to use! My movies don't require you to be a star. They are expensive and hard to use. On the contrary, my movies are fine if amateurs star in them."

Become a star."

Lin Shu, who has countless successful movie cases in the future, is fully qualified to say this.

Zhang Songwen looked at Lin Shu blankly, maybe he didn't expect that he would get such an answer.

After coming back to his senses, Zhang Songwen laughed to himself. Considering his current situation, it would be great if someone is willing to sign him. What else is there to choose from?

"Director Lin, I have decided. I am willing to sign a contract with your studio. When will we sign the contract?"

Seeing that the other party didn't even ask about his salary, Lin Shu couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder and said encouragingly: "It's not urgent. When I promoted the movie last time, didn't I say that there was another movie waiting for you? You

Free up your schedule in the second half of the year and learn more Sichuan and Chongqing dialect."

As soon as Lin Shu finished speaking, Zhang Songwen suddenly raised his head and looked over with bright eyes.

He really didn't expect that Lin Shu's casual words were actually serious. With such a boss who does what he says, Zhang Songwen felt that he had really found an organization.

Although Zhang Songwen still doesn't know what role he is playing, Lin Shu asked him to learn Sichuan and Chongqing dialect, which shows that his role at least has a lot of lines.

If it was just a sentence or two, there was no need to learn it. After thinking about this, Zhang Songwen nodded firmly to Lin Shu.

After bidding farewell to Zhang Songwen, Lin Shu returned to his room.

At this time of year in the capital, people cannot afford to go out for fun, so Lin Shu, who has nothing to do, can only devote himself to the creation of the script again.

Now he chooses scripts based on two criteria: low investment and high return! Everything Lin Shu does is to quickly increase his fame and accumulate wealth.

His studio currently only has one Zhang Songwen, and he has not yet signed a contract.

At this time, he has to do everything himself, but as long as he makes two more blockbuster movies, many people will come here and actively seek ways to sign with his studio.

After all, a person's power is limited. Even if Lin Shu works hard, he can only make three movies a year. This is based on the speed of Sherlock.

But he, Lin Shu, wanted to be a model worker when he resurrected his life?

Instead of making yourself so tired, it is better to gather talents and resources and let the people below help him make money!

This is also the reason why he bought the copyright of Bu Bu Jingxin. At Lin Shu's current level, it would be too cheap to make a TV series.

Let others film, and he will be a producer who has an overview of the whole situation, and finally sell the TV series to make money. This is the correct attitude of a boss.

……

For the next time, Lin Shu stayed in the room polishing the script.

On Friday night, he received a call from Wang Kai. Although he didn't understand what the other party had paid, the result was that Huayi agreed to his request to terminate the contract.

Wang Kai showed his sincerity, and Lin Shu naturally did not treat him badly. Wang Kai's salary in the sequel increased to 1 million, and Lin Shu also promised him to be the second male lead in a TV series.

It’s impossible to just want a horse to run without giving it grass to eat.

Wang Kai, who originally expressed his gratitude on the phone, suddenly became happy after hearing the treatment Lin Shu gave him.

Wang Kai has now realized that if he had not made the right choice, he might have missed the role of Watson.

Lin Shu did not ask Wang Kai to sign the contract immediately. He needed to let professionals be responsible for the agency contract.

His own agent and assistant had also entrusted Weng Li to pay attention to them in the past few days. Now Lin Shu needs to spend his limited time on things that can create more value.

In the next two days, Lin Shu perfected the script creation and also followed up on the progress of the copyright purchase.

As Director Zhang said, no one pays much attention to the film and television adaptation rights of science fiction novels and the animation adaptation rights of fantasy novels in this era.

He won these two sections without much effort. However, the few novels adapted from film and television that Lin Shu designated were met with some trouble. Among them, Tong Hua, the author of Bu Bu Jing Xing, specifically requested and purchased the novels.

Meet.

Lin Shu had no choice but to agree to meet Tong Hua tomorrow, the afternoon of the 16th.
Chapter completed!
