After introducing everyone present, Zhang Jizhong directly let Lin Lei sit beside him and then began to get down to business.
"I'm sure everyone has seen the recent discussions online.”Zhang Jizhong went straight to the point. When the major investors heard this, their expressions immediately became serious. They nodded and waited for Zhang Jizhong to continue.
This was indeed the question that they were most concerned about, and also the question that they were most worried about.
An investor would definitely invest in a TV series to make money. However, the male lead of this drama had caused such a huge controversy. This could easily bring negative effects to the drama and thus affect the viewership ratings. This was something that the investors present did not want to see.
Zhang Jizhong didn't keep them in suspense and said directly,""Lin Lei's acting skills are definitely not a problem. I can guarantee that this drama will definitely become popular after it is broadcast.”
Zhang Jizhong's tone and expression were very confident. When most of the investors present saw this, they were temporarily relieved.
Zhang Jizhong had a good reputation in the industry. He was also very capable and had very strict requirements for the quality of his works. He would never sacrifice the quality of his works because of unspoken rules. This was well known in the industry.
Before he was as famous as he was now and could not attract too many investors, there were indeed investors who forced people to join him, but they were flatly rejected by Zhang Jizhong. This investor was so angry that he withdrew his investment, causing the production team's capital chain to break. Zhang Jizhong gritted his teeth and persevered, not giving in at all.
It was also because of this persistence that he had obtained his current achievements and reputation.
Even after he became famous, Zhang Jizhong did not forget his original intention for the sake of profit. He still insisted on respecting quality, and this time should be no exception.
However, there were still a few investors who still had doubts. They could not help but say,"But he's still a newbie. It's a little too risky.”
Most of the people who raised doubts were big investors like Wansheng Group. They had invested more money, so they were naturally more cautious about the profits of this drama. They did not want too many uncertain factors to affect their profits.
" The audience will definitely be controversial about a newcomer acting as the lead. This is normal." Zhang Jizhong remained calm and confident in the face of doubt." And from another perspective, this is actually a good thing. At least the drama has attracted more attention. It's popular before it's even aired. The viewership ratings will definitely explode after it's aired. There's no doubt about it.”
As he spoke, Zhang Jizhong turned around and comforted Lin Lei." Xiao Lei, you don't have to take those comments online to heart. Your acting skills are fine. I have high hopes for you."”
Lin Lei knew that Zhang Jizhong was obviously supporting him in front of the investors by taking the initiative to address him as uncle and nephew. He couldn't help but feel grateful to him and quickly nodded in agreement. His tone was quite sincere." Uncle, don't worry. I will definitely not let you down."”
Zhang Jizhong nodded in satisfaction.
A few of the investor representatives who were skeptical did not say anything else when they saw the situation. They smiled and said,"Since Director Zhang is so confident, we have no objections.”
From then on, all the investors present agreed that Lin Lei would play Yang Guo.
Zhang Jizhong had already said so much. If they still did not agree, they would probably not have a share in the investment for this drama.
The main purpose of this meeting was actually to discuss this issue. Now that there was a result, the investor representatives did not stay any longer. After a simple greeting, they left the hotel.
After the investors left, the main staff of the production team immediately came in and started an internal meeting.
In fact, this internal meeting of the production team was nothing more than work arrangements and hotel room arrangements. Zhang Jizhong waved his hand and arranged the highest standard of high-end rooms for Lin Lei. Although some of the older employees and actors were a little uncomfortable, they did not say much.
Lin Lei accepted Zhang Jizhong's arrangement with a clear conscience and went straight to his room to check the positive reviews in the system.
After a month of filming with the " Lotus Lamp " crew, the positive reviews had increased a little, but it was far less than the first performance, so Lin Lei did not specially watch it.
It just so happened that the filming for " The Condor Heroes " was about to begin. Lin Lei felt that it was best to draw some prizes first so that he could feel more at ease with some good things in his hands.
Lin Lei looked at the system. There weren't many good reviews, but it was still enough for one draw.
Lin Lei felt that he should be more superstitious when it came to things like the lottery. He especially lit an incense stick and sincerely prayed for the blessings of the gods. After that, he specially went to bathe and clean his body. Then, he put on the red pajamas that he specially bought and called the system.
"System, I want to draw."
"The host's current good rating is 186. You can enter the beginner's lottery once. Would the host like to confirm the entry?”The system's mechanical voice asked in a routine manner.
"I'm sure." Lin Lei answered without hesitation.
[Ding-dong. The host has obtained an item: Precious Crystal Heart Necklace (Made from a rare crystal with 100% purity. It is extremely valuable and can be exchanged for currency or given as a gift. It is a good choice.)”
（ps.! A ticket! He begged for everything! Thank you, thank you!
