545. Investing in "Aquaman", are you interested?
"Hello, Song Yi!"
"Hi, Wen Zhiren!"
"Promise, here!"
"Haha, Brother Lin, you're here too!"
Almost at the same time that Xu Yu and Song Yi walked into the box, the four of them shouted at about the same time.
And after the words landed, the four of them began to look at each other.
"Come on, sit down and talk!"
Lin Zhuoyi beckoned everyone to sit down.
"Brother Lin, why are you here?"
Xu asked with a little curiosity.
"Don't worry, let me take your time. ”
Lin Zaoyi began to explain with a smile, and soon promised to understand the relationship.
Dare Qing Lin Zhuoyi and Wen Zhiren are friends who have known each other for a long time, in this way, the four of them can be regarded as acquaintances.
That's good.
originally thought that he was just coming to talk to Wen Zhiren, but now that he has a friend like Lin Zhuoyi, even if he talks, he can talk about a good result. Even if we can't talk about anything, it's nice to be friends.
Multiple friends, multiple paths.
"Promise, I heard Song Yi say, you are here to audition for Pirates of the Caribbean Part III, how about it?
"It's already signed!" Xu Promise smiled.
"I'll just say you're fine, if you can't play the role of Howling Wind, no one can play it well. As for Takahiro Kato, who is competing with you for a spot, I've seen his work. ”
"If I were to make this pirate film, I wouldn't have used him. ”
Lin Zaoyi said as a matter of course.
"Why?" Wen Zhiren asked curiously.
This Kato Yinglang is a star with good acting skills in the island film and television industry, I have to admit this, but such a good thing is also flawed, that is, his acting skills are not wonderful at all, but he can only play the role of positive energy. ”
"You ask him to play a pirate, and he plays either a well-behaved role or a character with exaggerated acting skills. ”
Lin Zaoyi said in a word.
In this case, it can only be a promise. Director Gore I know, that's a very keen person, since he said that he hit the promise, he didn't run!"
"Come on, let's have a toast to the promise that we can successfully sign the contract!"
Wen Zhiren raised his glass.
"Cheers!"
After this glass of wine, the four of them began to chat casually.
chatted about Song Yi's study abroad in New York.
chatted about Lin Zaoyi's current planning plan.
chatted about how Wen Zhiren filmed "The Conjuring" in the first place.
While chatting, Song Yi suddenly said: "Zhiren, didn't you tell me before that you were going to make a movie called "Aquaman" recently?"
"How's it going? How are you prepared? Do you want my boss to be an investor for you?"
"Aquaman!"
This is the first time that Xu Promise has heard the name of the movie, and after hearing it, he can't help but be amazed. OK
That's right!
I said that when I first heard Wen Zhiren's name, it would feel so familiar, and it turned out that the roots were here.
"Aquaman" was filmed by him, and he became a Hollywood first-line commercial film director with this "Aquaman".
The investment cost of "Aquaman" is $160 million.
After the successful filming, the box office in North America alone was as high as 400 million, and the global box office was 1.2 billion US dollars. This is undoubtedly a huge success for a commercial film.
"That's it, Lao Wen, didn't you just say that you want to find an investor? I think it's good to make a promise. You have to find investors for this movie, so it's better to cooperate with Xu Yue. Lin Zaoyi said with a smile.
After saying this, Wen Zhiren looked at Xu Promise, he didn't say how serious he was, he just said with a playful expression: "Promise, why don't you come and be an investor in my movie?"
In Wen Zhiren's heart, what he thought was that he would definitely not agree to the promise, and he would definitely find a reason to prevaricate in the past, after all, the two sides had just met, even if there was a relationship between Lin Zhuoyi and Song Yi in the middle, it was impossible to say that he would agree to invest on the spot.
That's real money, not white paper.
"Okay!"
Who would have thought that the next second he would hear such an answer.
The promise was promised!
Looking at Yun Danfeng's promise, Wen Zhiren, who was stunned, hurriedly said: "Promise, don't listen to Lao Lin and Song Yi's advocacy here, just agree, after all, we have just known each other for a short time, and we can't say that we have a good friend relationship, and you don't need to say that you take care of the emotions of the two of them, so you promise to invest in me." ”
"Promise, Lao Wen is right, you have to understand it anyway. Lin Zaoyi coughed twice and said embarrassedly.
What kind of movie is "Aquaman", what kind of story is told, and who the actors are, Lin Zaoyi doesn't know anything, in this case, most of the words just now are jokes.
He didn't want to promise to say yes on the spot.
But the promise did just that.
Do you say that Lin Zhuoyi can not be surprised? In addition to being surprised, he naturally hurriedly replied.
If Song Yi is a little stunned, before she came to the United States, she made "The Pretender" with Xu Xu, and now she has become a signed artist of the studio. But this is not to say that she knows much about promise, so what she said just now was also a joke.
Who wants to promise so can't stand the teasing.
Looking at Wen Zhiren, Lin Zaoyi and Song Yi looked at each other, feeling the eagerness in their words, the promise was a smile that didn't matter, and slowly played with the teacup.
"Brother Lin, Song Yi, you two don't have any psychological burden, I said to invest, not only because of the relationship between the two of you, but also because of my trust in Brother Wen. ”
"I think the movies that Brother Vanco has shot are all of a very high standard, and his commercial vision is also very unique, since he is going to shoot this "Aquaman", I will accompany him to shoot it!"
"Brother Wen, unless you don't want to cooperate with me. ”
"I do!"
Wen Zhiren, who heard the words of the promise, flashed a gleam in his eyes, and when he looked at the promise again, it had changed from the kindness just now to a kind of trust and admiration.
"No wonder Lao Lin said that you are the hand of gold, and that you have never failed in investing in this area, just for your trust and courage, I believe that your vision is unique!"
"In this way, you don't have to say that you are in a hurry to invest like this, the script on my side is still being prepared, and it will be sorted out in about a while. ”
"When the script comes out, I'll go back to China and talk to you. If you say that you think the script is okay and the actors are satisfied, we will sign a contract for investment. ”
"But as for the investment in this movie, I want to tell you in advance, it is impossible to say that what makes you a discretionary investor is to give the rest of the people some investment opportunities. ”
"Okay, no problem!"
Promise smiled.
He could feel a kind of confidence in Wen Zhiren's words.
If you change to the rest of the directors, you will only be happy to hear that someone is willing to be a full-seat investor, and where will you say that you will not be allowed to invest all of them.
But not on Wen Zhiren's side, he left a chance for the rest of the investors, which means that those people are equally important to him.
It was also because of self-confidence that Wen Zhiren dared to do this.
I can understand this promise.
