On behalf of Penguin Pictures, Zhang Yanping decided to keep up with the car of the movie "Dark Night Hunter" which is a dimensional entertainment.

According to what Ye Jiayi said, the story told by "The Night Hunter" should be a shooter hero in LOL, Vayne (VN) independent movie.

VN is a very popular character in League of Legends, and her background story is also quite distinctive.

According to Zhang Yanping's judgment, after "Demacia: Glory", if the results are ideal after the release of "Dark Night Hunter", then the movies under the same IP series, should not have bad results.

Although the movie "Demacia" doesn't even have a shadow, Zhang Yanping is still very willing to take this bet on the LOL IP and the past successful experience of Weidu Entertainment.

However, there were problems with funds.

His application was rejected by the group headquarters.

The reply given by the headquarters probably means that the amount of money invested in the entire series is not enough, and it is not advisable to further increase investment before the first movie is effective.

Zhang Yanping was a little surprised.

Fortunately, Weidu Entertainment gave him time for about a month, so he found a way to meet some big bosses of the group and had a talk for about an hour.

Unfortunately, in the end, he still failed to convince the boss.

However, the one-hour interview was not a complete result. Although he did not get money from the group, he was allowed to raise funds in the name of "Penguin Pictures".

According to the contract with Weidu Entertainment, the cooperation between the two parties is exclusive. Third parties are not allowed to intervene in investment and share profits in the name of direct, let alone enter the copyright sharing pool to share copyright interests.

However, if debt financing is carried out, the money will be invested in the movie "Dark Night Hunter" in the name of "Penguin".

By then, Weidu Entertainment will normally share the accounts with the "Penguin". As for how Penguin distributes benefits to their creditors, it has nothing to do with Weidu Entertainment.

Using the IP of "League of Legends" and the boss of "Dimension Entertainment" by Fan Zhe, these two names are enough to be intimidating. It is not a big problem to find some investments.

Even, it can be said that all parties are rushing to vote.

However, there are also arguments for investment.

In the next period of time, Zhang Yanping was looking for external sources of funds. Those who wanted to invest broke through the door, but most of them wanted to get the box office share directly. There were even many people who were delusional, who wanted to get a sum of funds and enter the copyright sharing venue.

This is definitely impossible. Not to mention that Weidu Entertainment cannot agree, Zhang Yanping himself cannot agree.

He gave a condition for external funds:

"The financing of 300 million yuan is 3 years, and a certain rate of return is promised. It can be negotiated, but it will never accept negotiations on box office sharing and copyright interests."

This is very obvious. I borrow money and give good interest. The investors will not lose money if the movie is lost. Anyway, it is just borrowing money, not entering the market; but if you make money, don't expect to share extra money.

Under such conditions, a large amount of external funds immediately cooled down.

Everyone waved their money to come in and make a lot of money, but not many people were interested in using their own money to help the penguins make money.

Others who still maintain enthusiastic funds continued to in-depth consultation on the return rate of debt financing, but the result was not high.

In order to control the cost of funds, more importantly, control the risks, the rate of return they give is actually relatively not high.

At least not that attractive.

This also led to Penguin's financing, which was very unsuccessful.

Zhang Yanping is very unsure about how much money he can raise after a month.

But for him, no matter how much he raises, he will have to invest in it. Even if he can't fill in an investment of 300 million, he can invest as much as he can, at least keep up with the car.

...

While Zhang Yanping was busy raising funds, Fan Zhe was still working hard to advance the progress of the film project "Demacia: Glory".

At present, the situation is still relatively smooth when contacting movie actors.

Domestic actors are still quite interested in such a movie that has invested hundreds of millions of dollars. The news has just been released, and before Weidu Entertainment has started to actively contact actors, many agency and celebrity teams have automatically come to the door, including some popular traffic stars.

But Van Zhe is basically useless.

Even after thinking for a while, he didn't use Chen Yu and Li Ze from his company. Chen Yu was very popular, but to be honest, his acting skills were still a bit immature. Fan Zhe felt that he was still a little unstable to play the leading role of such a movie. Li Ze was the opposite. His acting skills were enough, but his popularity was much worse.

Their agents, Dai Weidong, the person in charge of "Dimensional Brokerage", felt a little unwilling to accept it, so he came to find Fan Zhe in person and said, "It's okay if you can't get the protagonist, but you can give one or two supporting roles with better roles." Fan Zhe was bombarded back by Fan Zhe.

The two of them, plus Una, are the three most famous stars signed by the "Dimensional Agency" now, and are their own family members. There will be many movies in the "League of Legends" series, and there will be many heroes who will appear, so there will be no chance.

Moreover, as long as you have a few works with good grades, the movies in the subsequent series will not be so dependent on the actors' fame, and you can even use them to promote newcomers at that time.

It is not suitable for doing this now. After all, it is the first movie in the LOL series, so you should be more cautious.

After a large number of second- and third-tier actors who have come into contact with them, some of the first-tier actors have also fallen into the sequence to be determined. The main targets of the project team's contact are the few that have been booked before.

In the end, the prince, one of the two male protagonists, was basically settled - Peng Yuyan.

This movie star from Taiwan was a bit like a young and handsome guy at the beginning, but the subsequent development path was obviously different from those young and handsome guys who were purely idols and purely traffic. Their acting skills gradually improved and they worked with many big brands. In the end, they could only afford the box office of a movie alone.

Along the way, he can almost be said to be one of the top Chinese new generation movie stars.

In addition, an important supporting role has been decided and is still a well-known star - Xie Tingfeng.

This Hong Kong star second generation debuted as a singer and later switched to become an actor. His grades were pretty good, but I don’t know what I thought. Recently, I have changed careers and become a chef again...

But no matter what, both of them agreed to the invitation from Weidu Entertainment, and their pay was relatively good.
Chapter completed!
