When Lin Zixuan said this, he hadn't contacted Jiang Wen yet, because Jiang Wen was filming in other places and couldn't find anyone at all.
At this time, the actors only have a work unit, no acting company, and no agent, once they go to a remote place to make a movie, it is difficult to find a contact information.
However, Jiang Wen should return to the capital during the Chinese New Year and talk about it at that time.
In fact, at present, the entire crew has not been built, it is just an empty shelf, although the actors have a lot of choices, they have not yet started to negotiate, there is only a general direction.
In this case, Lin Zixuan couldn't come up with any proof.
If he could have signed an acting contract with Jiang Wen, it would naturally be more convincing, but now, he can only fool with one mouth.
Huaguo Bank is a big bank, and the investigators are not easy to fool, although they are optimistic about this project, they are very cautious in doing things, and you can't just get through it by talking plainly.
Lin Zixuan reduced the loan amount to $1 million, and the bank is still discussing it.
At this time, there was good news that the CEO of a large pharmaceutical company in China wanted to see Lin Zixuan.
While talking with the bank, Lin Zixuan selected six customers from the advertiser group of Huaguo TV, and he came to the door in the name of Huaguo TV to send the materials for the filming of "Beijing People in New York".
His offer to each company is a sponsorship of $300,000 and a 30-second roll ad and a full-text ad in the acknowledgments section at the end of the TV series.
These six companies are all really powerful companies, otherwise they would not have been able to make so much investment.
Lin Zixuan calculated an account, and the best result was that the six companies agreed, that would be an income of $1.8 million, $1.5 million for filming a TV series, and the remaining $300,000 would be net income from the art center.
Even if some investors bargain and lower the price, they can at least save the capital.
He didn't want his first independent TV series to end up at a loss, but he didn't expect that less than a week after the information was sent, there was news, and the other party expressed his sincerity on the phone.
Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang drove Santana to the pharmaceutical company.
This is the benefit of buying a car, go out to run errands to save face, if you come by bicycle, people will suspect that you are a liar, don't take the money and run away.
This pharmaceutical company is famous for producing drugs for the treatment of stomach problems, with an annual output value of more than one billion, and it is a real big enterprise, not bad for money.
They made an appointment in advance, and Lin Zixuan met Mr. Shi, the general manager of the company, in the office half an hour in advance.
The two sides exchanged politeness and sat down to talk.
"I've read your script, and I'm very touched. Mr. Shi sighed, "I went to the United States ten years ago, I thought I could do a career, but I didn't expect that because I didn't understand the laws of the United States, I was cheated in the end, and I could only return to China to develop. ”
Lin Zixuan understood as soon as he heard it, this was a bosom friend, no wonder he was so sincere.
He and Feng Xiaogang glanced at each other, feeling that this matter had to play the nostalgia card, how to be nostalgic.
Shi was one of the first people in China to go to the United States, when the reform and opening up had just begun, and there was no tide of going abroad.
The real tide of going abroad began in 1985, the year when China relaxed the restrictions on self-financed study abroad and put forward the policy of "supporting study abroad, encouraging return to China, and coming and going freely", which opened the curtain of the tide of going abroad.
Every era has its own feelings.
Lin Zixuan understands that Shi's total investment in this TV series is not for business and making money, but for a feeling, for the past years of struggle full of ups and downs.
Next, Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang accompanied Mr. Shi to start nostalgia, talk about the past, and sigh about the present.
"I support you when you go to the United States to shoot, if you don't go to the United States, you don't know the situation of Chinese people abroad, you have to shoot the truth, so that people in China can understand the situation, and you can't go abroad blindly. 300,000 US dollars is enough, if it is not enough, then 500,000, as long as the TV series can be filmed well. Mr. Shi said briskly.
"Mr. Shi, you are righteous. Lin Zixuan exclaimed, "Just this sentence to you, we added an advertisement to your products in the TV series, saying that Wang Qiming just arrived in the United States, he was too tired from work, he had stomach problems, and he couldn't get better after taking foreign medicine. ”
"Haha, Xiaolin, can't be too exaggerated, stomach disease is a chronic disease, how can it have such a quick curative effect. Mr. Shi laughed.
"This is not an exaggeration, this shows that our stomach medicine is suitable for the physique of our Chinese people, and it will be cured as soon as you eat it. Lin Zixuan joked.
"What you said is very scientific, our stomach medicine uses traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, which is indeed suitable for the physique of domestic people, I can't imagine that Xiaolin also has research on medicine. Mr. Shi agreed.
"Mr. Shi, don't bury me, that's what I said. Lin Zixuan said embarrassedly.
"Since Xiaolin has this intention, then 500,000 US dollars, wait for the company to review it, and call you the money in a few days, prepare early, shoot early, and let the domestic people see it as soon as possible." Mr. Shi expected.
"You can rest assured, we definitely shoot this drama with an attitude of being responsible to the people. Lin Zixuan assured.
Next, Lin Zixuan initialed the agreement with Mr. Shi on behalf of the art center.
Lin Zixuan wrote the conditions for adding soft advertisements to the TV series into the agreement, although there was a joke just now, but one is one, two is two, since it is said, it must be done.
This is not a one-shot deal, this time it left a good impression on Mr. Shi, and he may have to find Mr. Shi to invest in the future.
That's how trust and friendship are built.
This agreement is only initialed, and an intention has been reached, and it needs to be reviewed internally by the pharmaceutical company and the art center, and both parties can sign a formal contract only after they agree that there is no problem.
Lin Zixuan and Feng Xiaogang walked out of this company, very excited, this investment is a good one.
With this start-up capital, the bank is not in a hurry, but can take this contract to negotiate with the bank, and sell an advertising space for 500,000 US dollars, are you afraid that we will not be able to recover the investment?
A few days later, the art center and the pharmaceutical company officially signed an investment contract, and the $500,000 was quickly paid.
Lin Zixuan took the contract to Huaguo Bank and insisted on a loan of 1.2 million.
"We are in talks with several other investors, and if we have negotiated and the funds are in place, we don't need to borrow from the bank. Lin Zixuan said calmly, "This is a high-quality project, and it will be recovered in less than a year with interest, what are you worried about?"
In the face of this sudden situation, Huaguo Bank held urgent consultations within it.
They think that they were too conservative before, and the investment is risky, and this TV series is guaranteed by the General Administration and Huaguo TV, even if it is not bad, it is not much worse, as long as it is filmed in a decent manner, it is not a big problem to recover the investment.
What's more, if you already have a $500,000 foundation, it will be more secure.
As a result, Huaguo Bank's loan approval has entered the fast lane.
After getting the bank's reply, Lin Zixuan was completely relieved, and the next thing was to get Jiang Wen.
