After the art center signed a contract with Huaguo TV, Lin Zixuan finally put his mind at ease, which meant that he could go out and raise money with this contract.

The first place he ran to was the bank, and he wanted to take a loan from the bank.

To be honest, it is a long-term job to find investors to solicit sponsorship, not that as soon as you run over and talk to people, they will immediately be attracted by the favorable conditions you put forward, crying and begging to invest money in.

That's just wishful thinking, not realistic.

Huaguo TV's five-minute roll ad is indeed very tempting, but investors need to consider various factors.

For example, does the company need to advertise during this time, whether your TV series has influence, whether the price is too high, and whether it can be lowered.

Those entrepreneurs are not fools, on the contrary, they are very shrewd people, otherwise they would not lead a business.

Even if they have plans to invest, they need to do some research, they will not give a reply in the short term, and they will keep the price as low as possible.

Lin Zixuan only has five minutes and six advertisements, and he still wants to make money from it, of course he doesn't want to sell it cheaply.

In this way, it is inevitable that the two sides will bargain with each other, and it is possible to talk for a month or two or more.

Lin Zixuan is in urgent need of start-up funds, it is impossible to wait in vain, he must first start the project, find actors to build a crew, and send people to the United States to do preliminary preparations.

At this time, a bank is the best option.

He took the contract to lend the first money to the bank, solved the urgent need, and the negotiations with the sponsor could be slowed down.

In the negotiation process, often whoever has a good mentality and is not in a hurry can take advantage and wait until they get the funds from the sponsor and then repay the bank loan.

Moreover, the interest generated by the bank during this time has to be passed on to the sponsors, which is exactly where the wool comes out of the sheep.

Lin Zixuan approached Huaguo Bank and offered a loan of $1.2 million.

Of course, this is a lion's mouth, leaving room for negotiation, in fact, as long as there is a start-up capital of 500,000 US dollars, you can get the project off the ground, and you can find a way from the sponsor later.

Such a large loan alarmed the top management of Huaguo Bank, especially when it came to foreign exchange.

At this time, China's foreign exchange is under control, and ordinary people are not allowed to go to the bank to exchange foreign exchange, and only when they go abroad to do business, they can go to the bank to exchange small amounts of foreign exchange.

Therefore, some people in the capital began to speculate on foreign exchange, and the price was higher than that of the bank, so the supply exceeded the demand.

It was the first time for Huaguo Bank to handle this kind of business, lending money to people to shoot TV dramas, and they reviewed the materials provided by Lin Zixuan.

Including Lin Zixuan's work certificate as the production director of the Beijing Television Art Center, the letter of introduction issued by the unit, and the relevant reports of the screenwriter or producer of a number of popular TV series such as "Desire".

This shows that Lin Zixuan is not a liar, but really wants a loan.

There is also an article issued by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television of China, which regarded the TV series "Beijing People in New York" as a key project promoted by the State Administration in 1992, and the contract signed by Huaguo TV to purchase the TV series proves that the art center has the right to sell the five-minute patch advertisements in the prime time of the TV station.

Whether it is for China's banking industry or China's film and television industry, this is the first time, and there is no precedent to follow.

If this loan can be successful, it will open up a new financing channel for China's film and television industry, and it will also find a new investment point for banks.

Huaguo Bank reported the incident to the higher authorities, and even alarmed the leaders in charge of the financial industry in Huaguo.

Lin Zixuan didn't think it was a big deal, in his world, it was a common phenomenon for the film and television industry to raise money from banks, nothing unusual, but in this era, he became the first person to eat crabs.

From the moment he submitted his materials to Huaguo Bank and applied for a loan, it had a heavy impact on both industries.

After consultation, the higher-level authorities believe that banks should make new attempts in the field of loans, adapt to the needs of emerging industries in society, and borrow money as long as it can be confirmed that the loan is for legitimate purposes and the lender has the ability to repay.

Huaguo Bank was instructed to initiate the loan approval process.

After confirming the authenticity of the materials provided by Lin Zixuan, the bank needed to evaluate the value of the TV series that had not yet been filmed, as well as the five-minute roll advertisement.

Through the guò appraisal to determine whether to lend this large amount of money.

To this end, an internal meeting was held within the bank to discuss how to judge the value of a TV series that has not yet been filmed, and only when the value of the TV series is determined can the value of the roll advertisement be evaluated.

This is not a building that can be assessed in terms of the value of the land and the surrounding environment, which is an intangible value.

This was a very interesting discussion that could inform similar assessments in the future.

Beijing Television Art Center has the ability to produce TV series, Lin Zixuan has participated in the production of many popular TV series, "Beijing People in New York" was recognized as a high-quality project by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and will also be broadcast on Huaguo TV.

These are all factors that can add points.

Evaluation experts are more concerned about the TV series itself, and no one knows what the TV series will look like when it is filmed, whether it may be a good work or a bad movie.

To this end, they conducted an investigation to learn more about the TV series.

The targets of the investigation are Lin Zixuan, the producer of "Beijingers in New York", and Feng Xiaogang, the director.

"We have an excellent team that has the ability to produce high-level TV series, and you have to trust our professionalism. In the face of the bank's investigation, Lin Zixuan talked eloquently, "Past success proves this, and this time we will do better." ”

"Who are the actors in this TV series?" the investigator asked.

"We will invite first-line actors from China to join, and since we are filming in the United States, we will also invite Hollywood stars to participate, and all the main actors will be big stars that the audience is familiar with, even if they are supporting roles. Lin Zixuan said modestly at all, "This will be a big production with big investment, big stars, and big scenes." ”

He understands that only by talking about this TV series can the bank lend him money.

"For example?" the investigator asked.

"Jiang Wen knows, we are going to invite him to be the leading actor, Ge You knows, he can only play a supporting role in this play, and many famous actors want to join, such as Daoming and Guoli, but this drama was filmed in the United States, and they didn't have any chance to show their faces, so I refused. Lin Zixuan said unashamedly, "The heroine's words are still being chosen, we want to find those well-known actresses who have lived in the United States, we can't compromise in this regard, let's find the best if we want to, don't want the slightest worse." ”

Feng Xiaogang, who was also under investigation on the side, heard this and secretly gave Lin Zixuan a thumbs up.

This is really a brag that there is no tax, and it is a big blow.
