Chapter 141: We have different paths and cannot work together! (Please subscribe and vote for me!)
Robert is a purebred foreigner.
Red and curly hair, deep-set eyes, a long face, and a nose that is almost scary.
As soon as Lin Zheng walked out of the station, he received a call from Robert on time.
Before even saying a few words, the other party accurately recognized Lin Zheng from the crowd and came to greet him.
After exchanging pleasantries, he invited Lin Zheng to get into a luxury car that looked expensive at first glance.
There was even hot espresso coffee prepared for Lin Zheng in the car.
However, after Lin Zheng took the coffee, he just smelled it, pretended to take a sip, and then put it aside.
too bitter.
He couldn't bear it.
When Robert saw this, he immediately said with an annoyed look on his face: "Don't you like coffee, Mr. Lin? I'm so sorry, I should prepare more other drinks."
Lin Zheng smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay. There is a saying in the Daxia Kingdom: don't stick to trivial matters. Let's talk about business."
"Director Lin is really magnanimous." Robert nodded and added an idiom.
Then, he immediately took out a contract from the briefcase next to the seat and handed it to Lin Zheng: "Mr. Lin, please take a look. I believe that the conditions we have given will definitely make you, Mr. Lin, like it very much. "
Lin Zheng took the document and read it carefully with an expectant look on his face.
Robert, on the other hand, sat next to him and waited quietly.
Although he looked respectful on the surface, there was still deep arrogance and disdain in his eyes.
Including the cup of coffee, it was also a sign of his disdain.
Although the superficial skills can be done well, some small details can also expose something.
Robert's pride is naturally well-founded.
In addition to being the person in charge of the Greater Xia region of Eternal Pictures, he also has another identity.
He is one of the core members of the ghost organization.
He knows the truth about everything.
Knowing Lin Zheng's strength, he also knew that the purpose of his trip was not really to set his sights on Lin Zheng.
But we want to see what kind of person Lin Zheng is and whether he can be used by their ghost and god organizations!
As for those previous words about huge business potential, they were completely deceiving fools.
But now it seems that the fool in front of me really believes it.
Robert thought sarcastically.
Does this person have no idea what kind of garbage his movie is?
What happened in the ward of Lishi Hospital that night that led to the loss in the hands of such a fool?
It is naturally impossible for Lin Zheng to know what the other party is thinking.
At this time, all his attention was on the contract in his hand.
Indeed, as Robert said, the terms in this contract are very sincere.
It can even be called giving money!
From some angles, even compared to the conditions given by Secret Media, they are not too generous.
The contract states that Eternal Pictures will not only help Lin Zheng distribute the film globally.
We will also sponsor Lin Zheng's new movies in various ways, whether in terms of money, promotion, production, or actors.
They even wrote that from now on, Lin Zheng will be able to recruit a global actor or actress at the level of each of his movies.
This kind of treatment is almost equivalent to filming their own movie!
But the copyright of the movie still belongs to Lin Zheng, and the person who benefits the most is also Lin Zheng!
God knows how excited Lin Zheng was when he saw these terms.
I just wanted to take out a pen on the spot, turn to the last page of the contract, and sign my name.
But when Lin Zheng saw the back, his mentality changed differently.
Because Eternal Pictures wants to help him distribute it globally.
It was not the "Mansion" he had imagined before, nor was it even the slightly inferior "Happy Ghost".
It’s about the three orthodox ghost films that he thinks are the least likely and also have the lowest box office!
"Brian the Witch", "Ghost Chronicles", and "Konchi Rock".
Moreover, the other party also requested it in the contract.
In the future, the movies Lin Zheng will shoot can only be in the style of the above three movies.
In other words, if Lin Zheng wants to cooperate with the other party.
You have to transform back again.
Continue to make horror films like "Gonjiam" that are truly meant to scare people.
Seeing this, Lin Zheng couldn't help but look up at Robert, pointed to the names of the three movies on the contract, and asked doubtfully: "Mr. Luo, are you sure the names of the movies here are correct?"
"Uh...just call me Robert." Robert was stunned for a moment when Lin Zheng called him. He hesitated for two seconds before he realized that he was being called.
He immediately corrected Lin Zheng's slip of the tongue, and then explained: "Of course you are, we like all three of your movies very much."
"But the problem is...the box office of these three movies is the lowest among all my movies!" Lin Zheng still couldn't understand.
Robert put on a serious expression: "Please believe in our professional vision. The reason why the box office of these three movies is low now is just because you did not promote enough, and at the same time, you did not package them.
In our opinion, the design of these three movies is very clever. Even if the production is indeed a bit poor, it is still difficult to cover up your genius ideas.
Movies like this that can stimulate human adrenaline and give people an extremely violent impact will definitely have a huge market!
You just need to trust us, and then leave everything to us, and we will definitely be able to give you a satisfactory answer, as well as a far higher box office than you have now!"
Lin Zheng was not convinced, but felt even more confused by what happened today.
What if he was in another parallel world that was more like Earth and heard these words.
You might even think that the other person has vision and foresight.
After all, although horror movies are scary, they do have audience demand.
On Earth, the long-lasting popularity of horror movies such as "The Grudge", "The Ring", "Silence of the Lambs", etc. can fully illustrate this point.
But this is Blue Star.
Almost ninety-nine percent of people are afraid of the weird blue star!
When he first traveled through time, Lin Zheng didn't know much about the world of Blue Star.
At the same time, because there is less investment in first-person horror movies, I filmed those three movies in a row.
But later, after those three movies, I personally experienced the Lan Mengjie incident, and after a conversation with Yan Zhengguo at noon today.
He has completely realized how afraid the people of Blue Star are of weirdness.
I have also fully understood that this kind of truly scary horror movie is not just a box office failure in Blue Star.
It may even be harming society and hurting others!
If there happens to be a second or third person like Lan Mengjie, see the first three movies he shot.
Then, Lin Zheng didn't even dare to think about the consequences.
Therefore, he has actually long since given up on the idea of continuing to make orthodox horror films.
Therefore, he could not understand at all why Robert, who was sitting opposite him, could say such a thing.
Isn't this person... not afraid of ghosts?
Lin Zheng was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said tactfully without saying anything too rude: "Mr. Luo, oh... I'm sorry, Mr. Robert, how about we watch my other two movies?
"Happy Ghost" and "Haunted Mansion", these two movies have achieved very good results and have good reputations.
If it were to be distributed globally, I think these two might be more suitable.
Moreover, if nothing else happens, the new movies I will shoot in the future will only be in this style.
The previous three movies were really scary."
Upon hearing Lin Zheng's words, Robert immediately became anxious and quickly continued to explain: "Director Lin, you really have to believe us.
These three movies are so cool and high-end, but the box office is low just because the audience doesn't know how to appreciate them.
The audiences are all fools. As long as we package it well, they will watch it and feel honored that they have watched our movie.
How do you say a saying from the Kingdom of Daxia?
Rushing like a duck!
As long as we package it well, these audiences will fly over like brainless birds.
No matter how scary the movie is, they still have to force themselves to watch it.
Otherwise, you will not be able to keep up with the trend, and you will be looked down upon by those around you.
Wouldn't it be more interesting in this way? Everything is under our control."
Robert spoke very seriously, even faintly showing some intoxication, as if he was very useful to the situation he was talking about.
But Lin Zheng couldn't help but frowned after hearing this.
He doesn't like the other party calling the audience fools.
Especially I don't like the arrogance the other party showed just now.
In Lin Zheng's view, this kind of behavior of deceiving the audience as if they were fools is exactly the same as the behavior of insulting the audience with crudely produced film and television dramas by popular celebrities.
There is almost no difference.
And he just hates this kind of thing.
At the same time, he also disliked the other person's way of saying that scaring someone was cool, or even treating it like a fun game.
Especially, in the world of Blue Star!
Lin Zheng thought for a moment, then took a deep breath and made a very difficult decision for him.
"Fathering like ducks is a derogatory term, Mr. Luo."
Lin Zheng smiled at the other party, and then continued: "By the way, there is another saying in the Daxia Kingdom, which is: if we have different paths, we should not work together."
It was finally sent out before 12 o’clock today!
