"I didn't expect you to be so young. Ning Hao spread his hands, it seemed that Lin Fan's age had brought him a lot of oppression, "And are you sure you're not joking." ”

Lin Fan took a sip of tea, "Since we sat here, you have been surprised five times. ”

Li Ke on the side smiled, "Mr. Ning, I can tell you for sure that I am not here to trick you today, this Mr. Lin is really interested in investing in your movie." ”

Ning Hao looked at Lin Fan, his head was actually still dizzy. At present, the common problem faced by new directors is that they have no money, and when Li Ke found him and said that someone was willing to invest in him to make a movie, he felt as if a big pie fell from the sky.

The domestic film industry has not developed to the prosperity of later generations, and capital has not poured in wildly. It is impossible for an investor to spend money to support a newcomer, and once it loses at least a few million. Compared with Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, who have been recognized by capital, it is a lot more bitter for other directors to shoot movies.

Jia Zhangke made the first movie with the money made by a few cameramen in the group, Lu Chuan mortgaged the house when he filmed Ke Ke Xili, sold the house, and went bankrupt, it was a helpless but inevitable choice for these directors, so some investors are willing to take the initiative to invest, you can imagine the joy in Ning Hao's heart.

Ning Hao finally chose to believe Li Ke, he and Li Ke are also old acquaintances, he shot many MVs for Li Ke's artists such as Pu Shu when Nortel had not yet graduated, there is no reason why Li Ke would lie to him, of course, the most important reason is his lack of opportunities.

Ning Hao pondered and spoke repeatedly, "I don't know why Mr. Lin invested in movies?"

Lin Fan knew that the drama was coming, he knew Ning Hao's talent, in his previous life, he was the fourth director to enter the 100 million yuan box office club after Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and Chen Yige. So he is bound to come up with something that can convince this director that he wants to make a long-term investment in Ning Hao, rather than being used as a money jar.

"Cinema is a magical thing, it can manifest things that are imagined by human beings, but I prefer to express cinema with storytelling, and the director is the storyteller. Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders, "Actually, I like to tell stories very much, flying, superpowers, I often imagine some strange things." ”

"That's how a lot of people get into film. Ning Hao felt the same way.

Lin Fan really wanted to fool Ning Hao like he once fooled Xu Sheng, but unfortunately Lin Fan really didn't know anything else except the famous director and some films, so he could only conclude, "People always need dreams to live, although I can't make movies, I think I can invest, this can be regarded as a fulfillment of my dream." ”

Ning Hao didn't react a little, but Li Ke felt the same way, "I agree with Mr. Lin's words, I think I was a jewelry merchant and made some money, but I didn't expect to fall in love with music inexplicably, so I stepped in." It's been going around for years, and it's been a dream. ”

"Ning Hao, I am looking for you by Mr. Lin this time, I believe in his sincerity, if you have a script and creativity, you might as well talk to Mr. Lin, he is very rich, Baidu's shareholder, a standard billionaire. ”

Ning Hao's mouth grew up instantly, thinking that the young man sitting in front of him was a rich second generation, but what happened to this, this investor is too rich, right? Ning Hao rubbed his face, "Mr. Lin, what Mr. Li said is true?"

To be honest, if Lin Fan heard that others said that he was a billionaire a few days ago, he would still be a little weak-hearted, after all, Baidu's stocks could not be moved and he had no intention of moving, fortunately, the first round of financing was successful, Goldman Sachs occupied 10% of the shares with 6.3 million US dollars, and IDG invested 200 US dollars to occupy 2% of the shares, allowing cash-out, and had the right to lead the B round of financing.

In fact, Lin Fan didn't want to sell too many shares, but considering the next development of mortal security, it is very important to have a professional partner, so IDG was introduced, of course, allowing cash-out is also a very important reason, otherwise where would Lin Fan have the money to invest in Ning Hao's movies.

Xu Sheng was given $100,000 and $100,000 was given as a reward for the company's employees. Lin Fan still has $1.8 million, so now Lin Fan is very confident, "It's just that I did a little business, but I didn't expect my luck to be so good." ”

This undoubtedly affirmed Ning Hao's answer from the side, and Ning Hao's breathing couldn't help but become shortness for a while, but he hadn't lost his ability to think, "With all due respect, with Mr. Lin's financial resources, it's probably not a problem to invest in some famous directors, right?"

"I've seen your debut incense, the story of multi-line narration is very good, I have asked someone to evaluate, and your directing ability is very strong. Speaking of this, Lin Fan paused, "Actually, I also have a purpose for praising newcomers, and I am bound to set up an entertainment and culture company in the future, and now it can be regarded as a good fate in advance." ”

Lin Fan's confession did not make Ning Hao feel very scheming, on the contrary, his heart was still warm, the outsider in front of him could see his directing skills and invest in himself, couldn't others see it? Ning Hao's lips moved, but he still didn't say what he wanted to say, he was just a newcomer now.

"Mr. Lin, in fact, I have a script in my mind since the incense was filmed, and I have been working on it for two or three years. ”

A trace of excitement flashed in the depths of Lin Fan's eyes, if it was right, this script would be a crazy stone, and Ning Hao would also win many awards with this and sweep the Golden Horse. In the previous life, this movie was invested by Andy Lau's new star director plan, in this life, Brother Hua, I'm sorry, I cut off my beard.

"Mr. Lin, this is a story that revolves around stones........"

Lin Fan got straight to the point, "Director Ning, how much investment do you think is needed?"

Ning Hao looked at Lin Fan, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Three million, three million is enough." Although he has confidence in himself, who can say for sure what is going on in the movie, he is really afraid of pit Lin Fan, who believes in him so much.

Lin Fan seemed to see Ning Hao's words insincerely, "Four million, I'll give you four million, keep it if you don't have enough money, you can't be a director because of money, art is priceless." ”

"Mr. Lin, me. This man actually wanted to choke up, he sold his property for his film dream, and the film swept foreign awards but the response at home was mediocre. In order to save money to make movies, he went to work as a TV director. All the dedication and hard work in exchange for today's sentence can't be wronged, Ning Hao feels that it is worth it.

"Ning Hao, you should be grateful for having an artist investor like Mr. Lin, I haven't seen any investor take the initiative to increase money. ”

"Artist, this?"

Li Ke now seems to be a teacher who likes to solve puzzles, "Some time ago, the fireworks of the fire were easy to cold and the big city Xiaoai were written and composed by Mr. Lin and sung by himself, and two days ago, Taiwan's little king Jay Chou also went to Yanjing to ask Mr. Lin to write a song." ”

Ning Hao has already stayed, rich singer, Mr. Lin is not only a good businessman, but also so talented? Although he has not heard these two songs, it sounds very powerful, and an unclear admiration filled Ning Hao's eyes.

Lin Fan was a little helpless, didn't I just know that in my previous life, you spent 3.5 million yuan on crazy stones, so I took the initiative to add money to you, what is the matter?
