Chapter 761: Forever Support (Ten Thousand Two)
Chapter 761: Forever Support
"James, next, can we have a good talk about investing? Chu Qiankun asked with a smile.
After such a complicated cutscene, I can finally get to the point.
The social status is not enough, the connections are insufficient, and it is not easy to do something.
Just like Chu Qiankun's investment, it was obviously to give Cameron money, and it was obviously to invest in his movies to help him tide over the difficulties.
However, what did Chu Qiankun experience?
He had to prove that he was rich!
It's the same as proving that my dad is my dad!~
"Of course. How much are you going to invest?"
Cameron was also very happy, he didn't expect Chu Qiankun to bring him such a big surprise.
The purpose of this reception was to raise funds for filming, and several of the invited guests were selected by them.
It's a pity that these rich people are all human spirits, and they all obtained the purpose of Cameron's drinking party from various channels.
Therefore, most people are very smart to find all kinds of reasons not to come in person, either to ask juniors to replace them, or to let their subordinates represent.
Anyway, none of the promising target people came, and most of them were people who ate and drank, chasing stars by the way.
Because of this, Cameron, as the host of the cocktail party, did not greet the guests at the gate, but hid in the wine cellar to discuss countermeasures with a few friends.
The reception had already ended before it had even begun, and Cameron had given up on finding an investment tonight.
Human calculation is never as good as heaven!
Unexpectedly, when he was disappointed, he would respond to the ancient saying of Huaxia: The willows are dark and the flowers are bright and another village.
Chu Qiankun would appear in front of him in such a way at a critical moment, smashing a hope in front of him.
Playing the piano with his fingers on the table, Chu Qiankun's mood was relaxed: "I don't care how much I invest, as long as you and Fox can accept it." ”
"Some time ago, I calculated that in addition to the 200 million meters of gold invested by Fox Company, there is still a gap of about 150 million meters of gold. Could it be that you can wrap it up?"
Cameron is also in a good mood to get his first investment, no matter how much it is, it is a good sign and a good start.
"Are you sure that your "Avatar" only needs 350 million meters of gold to be filmed?
"The pre-shooting and special effects production are almost over. After the sample film comes out, the money for distribution and publicity will naturally be actively paid for by someone. Cameron said confidently.
After this film is filmed, what kind of scene will it be, he knows very well in his heart, and it is guaranteed to be exciting and refreshing.
He was worried about the money for filming and special effects, publicity and distribution, and he didn't worry at all.
Cameron probably couldn't have imagined that the person in front of him was a person who knew more about the scenes of "Avatar" than him, the director.
"Well, you can say enough. Chu Qiankun smiled faintly and said, this is the old card, as always, he thinks that the funds are enough, and as always, he will ask for additional investment: "Since you want me to cover this 150 million, then I will invest 150 million." ”
"What?"
"Isn't it!"
“Oh,my god!”
The sound of inhaling air conditioning, one after another!
"Are you serious?" Cameron, who had experienced countless winds and waves, his voice trembled a little, and it was unbelievable.
A few minutes ago, he was still depressed about the lack of sponsorship, and a few minutes later, a piece of the boss's cake suddenly fell into the sky and smashed him into a daze.
Happiness came so suddenly.
"In your bank account, there is only 110 million meters of gold, and even if you invest all of it, there is still a difference of 40 million. ”
Rice, an expert in pouring cold water, poured another basin of cold water on reality.
"You have inquired in detail, you can find out how much money I have in my account. It seems that the person who helped you inquire about the news has a good position in the bank!"
Before, Chu Qiankun only told them that there was 100 million funds, but Rice just now accurately said the exact number of 110 million in his account.
The corners of Chu Qiankun's mouth curled, and there were really a lot of problems inside the bank.
Rice, who said that he was leaking, was not embarrassed at all, and picked up his wine glass as if nothing happened.
People are old and fine, and after living for so many years, what does it mean, they have long since degenerated.
was shocked by Chu Qiankun a few times before, and he didn't have a heartfelt and unresponsive voice, which was already very face-saving.
"Chu, look, even if you invest all the funds of your company, there is still a gap. ”
With Rice's cold water reminder, Cameron also calmed down a lot and regained his shrewd appearance.
"NoNoNo, this more than 100 million funds, I have other uses, I won't give you a penny. Chu Qiankun waved his hand and shook his head.
"Why?" Cameron, who had just calmed down, was immediately re-made uncalm by Chu Qiankun's words.
Chu Qiankun smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I said before, it will be a company in my country that invests in "Avatar", Xingchen Media. ”
This more than 100 million funds, Chu Qiankun does have other uses, mainly to invest in the holding of OK clothing and Xingchen Media.
He won't put such a large amount of money on "Avatar" completely.
Lao Ka's movies are really good, and he is indeed a little money-making expert in this industry.
However, no matter how much money can be made, "Avatar" will also earn four or five times the profit after four or five years.
This point of return on profit, Chu Qiankun can't look down on it.
He tried his best to get in touch with Lao Ka, and wanted to invest in his films, in addition to the meaning of making friends and helping him, mainly for the development of Xingchen Media.
He wants to use the relationship between Lao Ka and the investment in the movie "Avatar" to let Xingchen Media jump from China to Hollywood through this big springboard.
As a result, Xingchen Media has changed from a purely Chinese media company to an international media company with Hollywood colors.
Therefore, Chu Qiankun has always insisted that he should invest in the name of Xingchen Media, even if the funds in the Xingxing Investment Account want to enter, he will borrow Xingchen Media.
"Your Xingchen Media can also invest 150 million meters of gold, which is nearly 1.3 billion Huaxia coins. ”
Cameron is already numb, if Chu Qiankun's Xingchen Media can come up with nearly 1.3 billion Huaxia coins of liquidity for investment, then the scale of this company will be 2 billion Huaxia coins at the very least.
Two billion Chinese coins, converted into rice gold, is 250 million, even in Hollywood, this scale will not be an obscure small company.
The sigh for Chu Qiankun is also constantly additive, and the estimation of his net worth is also constantly rising.
Who knows if there are any other companies in his hands?
A bright light suddenly flashed in Cameron's mind, Chu Qiankun wouldn't be a billion-meter gold-level super-rich, right?
This idea startled Cameron himself, but he didn't know that this was an accurate guess, and his intuition was very accurate.
"Of course, since I promised you this number, I will naturally give you so much money. Chu Qiankun touched the back of his left hand with his right hand, and said very calmly.
"Okay!" As long as there is a legitimate investment in it, he doesn't bother to care where the funds are: "Then when will I receive this 500 million." ”
Chu Qiankun asked, "When are you going to do it?"
"The sooner the better, you can't stop shooting, otherwise you will lose a lot. ”
Cameron also took advantage of the interval between filming and ran to San Francisco, Hollywood's special studio, and the filming work did not stop for a moment.
Anyone in the know knows that if a movie stops in the middle of filming, it will cause a lot of trouble.
If you want to restart work afterwards, you will have to spend more energy and more money to get started.
Therefore, the default practice in the industry is to rather slow down the shooting speed and keep the crew running.
Of course, this time can't be delayed indefinitely, otherwise the time will be too long, and the long-term free-range idlers will be raised, so it is really better to stop filming directly.
"Have you used up the investment that Fox gave you?" Chu Qiankun asked suspiciously.
Cameron shook his head slightly: "No, so far, Fox's money has received two sums of money totaling 90 million." But they felt that I was using the money too quickly, and was unwilling to pay the third fee in advance, hoping to operate according to the time of the contract. But if you go completely according to the contract, the set will not last at that time, so I hope your investment is as soon as possible. ”
Chu Qiankun smiled silently, Fox and Cameron have been partners for many years, and long before "Titanic", they were deeply impressed by his spending money.
In order to suppress Cameron in the use of funds, Fox is also painstaking!
The funds are given in batches according to the time and shooting progress, which can be regarded as adding a tightening spell to the old card.
But the effect is really not good.
"Fawkes knows you well. Chu Qiankun smiled: "With your existing funds, how long can you continue filming?"
The other people who understood the meaning of his words also had clear expressions, and the meaning of laughter was obvious.
Cameron's originally fair face was dark, his family knew his own affairs, and Fox knew his temperament too well.
"I've slowed down my shooting, and I'll be able to hold on until the end of October at most. ”
This speed has really been slowed down by Cameron, otherwise, let alone the end of the month, the middle of the month will not be able to withstand it.
"Xingchen's investment funds definitely didn't arrive so quickly. Chu Qian thought about it silently for a while, and said truthfully: "But don't worry, my company in New York is called Fanxing, and I will transfer 10 million meters of gold to you from this company first." “
"You use this money first, if it's not enough, you can tell me later. One thing you can rest assured that unlike Fox and I, I will not limit you to the amount of money you can use, how much you want, how much I will invest in you. The only requirement is that "Avatar" must be a landmark film. ”
This is the real bosom friend, this is the best investor, the power is enough, and the money is enough.
Cameron hadn't been so excited for a long time, he really couldn't imagine that Chu Qiankun would trust him so much.
"You just believe James so much, aren't you afraid that this movie will lose money?" Principal John asked everyone.
"Don't be afraid, I believe him, because he's James Cameron, the card god in the hearts of our fans. I dare to throw a lot of money into it, that is, I dare to accompany him to take all the unknown risks. I will always support him!" Chu Qiankun said in a high-sounding voice.
Regardless of Chu Qiankun's words, he is somewhat sincere, but at least he is using his actions to support Cameron without hesitation.
"Thank you, Chu, thank you. "Avatar" will definitely not disappoint you, let's create a new history together. ”
Cameron's eyes were red, beautiful, Chu Qiankun's words were really beautiful.
