Chapter 361 [$280 Million Investment]
Faced with Lin Jingkang's proposal, Avril was moved, but after thinking about it seriously, she still shook her head and refused. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although she also wants to be with her daughter, working by Lin Jingkang's side, not to mention that she can't put her identity right, even if she can, it is difficult to do it well, because she is under a lot of pressure in the face of him.
In the end, it was Lin Jingkang who recruited most of the top executives of Facebook, such as Sanjingjing and Zhou Shoubei, and asked them to teach Avril.
"Facebook's future vice president will be Avril, and it's up to you how you teach her. Don't worry, she will work hard to study hard, if you have any questions, come to me directly! ”
"If she messes up Facebook, then I'll come to you because you didn't teach her well."
After putting the words down, Lin Jingkang didn't care about the coquettish Avril, grabbed Xiao Silin and left.
"Dad, why doesn't Mom come home with us for dinner?"
Facebook's office building is some distance from Malibu, so Xiao Silin was not happy when she saw that her mother didn't follow her, and her little mouth was pouted quite high.
"Mom has to go to work, she'll be with her later."
Lin Jingkang touched her little head, his eyes were kind, and he explained with a smile, and the little guy put on a smiling face again, and pointed to the house next to him and chattered.
In the next few days, Lin Jingkang took Avril and Xiao Silin, and the family walked around LA, and life was particularly comfortable.
His little life was good, but it hurt Lin Zhiling and Michael.
The former is a big stupid girl who accidentally lost her phone when she got off the plane, and finally bought a new card, but she couldn't find the company's contact information, so she had to log in to Penguin to send a message to her colleagues.
The tragedy is that in recent days, Dong Liya and Li Xiaozhu were sent to New York by Lin Jingkang to help Tang Caizhi; And Natasha and Song Hui were left in the country, getting up early every day and being greedy for darkness, and the documents are like mountains and seas, where can they have time to go to penguins?
On the fourth day, Natasha finally saw the news of her, and then helped her contact her boss.
Half a day later, at the Peninsula Hotel in LA, Lin Zhiling and Michael finally met Lin Jingkang.
"Dear JK, it's not easy to see you!"
As soon as they met, Michael turned on the spit mode and told about what he had encountered in the past few days.
The round-trip flight from LA to Huhai City, what a long journey, and the past few days of looking for someone, almost made him almost crazy.
What happened to the two of them, Lin Jingkang said that he was very speechless, and he specialized in a surprise attack, you deserved it. Wouldn't it be nice to make an appointment early? Do you think it's hide-and-seek between lovers? Looking for a surprise?
It's good now, but I'm not happy, but I'm shocked.
When Lin Zhiling, who was very aggrieved in her heart, saw Lin Jingkang, her eyes were red, and she looked like she was about to cry, which made the latter scratch her head.
It's a good thing Avril didn't come along, otherwise he would have knocked over the vinegar bottle again today, and his backyard would have to jump again.
Ji Jingan looked at the scene in front of him expressionlessly, his eyes wandering around, always paying attention to his surroundings. In my heart, I was full of emotion, the charm of the boss is really getting more and more radiant, and no woman can resist it.
Immediately, he thought of his stupid sister again, can he really forget the past when he wanders the world?
After shouting and asking for warmth, Lin Jingkang said bluntly: "Mike, you are in such a hurry to find me, do you have any good news to tell me?" ”
Since talking to the other party about the Transformers last month, Michael has returned to LA to prepare, after all, it is not easy to make the special effects scenes in the Transformers.
The script had already been written when Lin Jingkang took down the copyright of Transformers, after all, he was idle at the time, and he wrote the script while urging the lawyer to let the Miami police deal with the gangsters.
Moreover, before the shooting plan is taken out, the investment amount must be confirmed, etc., and in the early stage, Michael has invested nearly 8 million US dollars.
Therefore, making a movie is an extremely money-burning investment, and it is very normal for one to lose a lot of money if one is not careful.
Talking about the movie, Michael instantly changed as if he was a different person, very excited and excited, the whole person leaned forward and danced with his hands:
"Yes, there is good news. After more than a month of research and investigation by my team and I, the current shooting of Transformers is not particularly big, and the most important special effects problems have been discussed and studied by Hollywood's top special effects artists, and there is no problem at all in shooting the expected effect..."
Everyone in the hotel box listened with relish, although some people felt like they were listening to a book from heaven and didn't understand, but there was one thing in common, that is, the scene Michael said.
This is a part that everyone can understand, just like the scene of the Decepticons and Megatron and other Autobots fighting under the Three Gorges Dam, which makes everyone feel excited.
The original version was at the Hoover Dam, however, Lin Jingkang's perception of the United States was not too good, so this was changed.
Of course, the scene of sending the Air Force F-22 formation to support must also be changed, this is a good time to promote the majestic posture of the Chinese Air Force, and Lin Jingkang will definitely not let it go.
How to change the specifics, he had already said when he was chatting with He Lao that the active fighters of the People's Liberation Army will be dispatched, and they will be exaggerated to a certain extent to achieve the effect required by the movie.
The shining-light expressions of the others made Michael's vanity very satisfied, but only Lin Jingkang's indifferent expression made him very puzzled.
The identity of the script creator, Michael has never cared about it, nor has he paid attention to it, so he felt particularly speechless about Lin Jingkang's expression.
"How much do you need to invest?"
Originally, investing in a movie is such a trivial thing as Lin Jingkang's action, and he will not be interested in such a thing, with that time, it is better to accompany their mother and daughter more.
But, unlike Transformers, this is a super gold mine, and he won't let go of anything he says.
"After our careful calculation, the shooting period is 10 months, and the estimated investment amount is 280 million US dollars!" Michael said with some uncertainty.
Seven years ago, the total investment of the big ship was only more than 200 million US dollars, but at that time, investors were so angry that they wanted to sink Cameron to the bottom of the Atlantic.
Although in the early stage, everyone is very confident in the box office of Transformers, but with such a large amount of investment, it is also a unique super blockbuster in Hollywood.
"Oh, $280 million?" Lin Jingkang was still expressionless, and his fingers kept pounding on the table, as if they were hitting Michael's heart, making the latter nervous.
In the previous life, in 07 years, the investment in the first part of Transformers was about more than 100 million US dollars. And about four years earlier, but the investment has become so big, and to some extent, the risk has also increased exponentially, which is a very dangerous thing for a financial person like Lin Jingkang.
Although there is a very popular saying in the financial world, the higher the risk, the greater the gain. But, in movies, in Hollywood, this sentence does not work.
"It's not stressful for me, but, Mike, you know that I majored in finance in college, and the most important thing is the excitement before and after investing..."
"I can give you 50 million dollars, you can make the part of the special effects I need first, if it's OK, then no problem, I'll invest the rest, how about it?"
This answer is not good news for Michael, who has been working hard for more than a month, coming up with various data and plans, but still failing to convince the Chinese in front of him, which makes him very frustrated.
However, Lin Jingkang's words also aroused his fighting spirit, and he firmly believed that the 50 million US dollars would definitely be put to good use to shoot the best special effects, so that the former could take a good look at his ability.
"Alright, JK, we'll make up our minds!"
The Transformers thing is over, and the next thing is to see if it can grow.
However, just as Lin Jingkang wanted to stand up and leave, Michael suddenly stopped him and said in an astonishing voice:
"JK, I am now officially invited to you again as a director to become the starring role of Transformers, I wonder if you will agree?"
As soon as the latter's words fell, Lin Zhiling, who was standing behind Lin Jingkang, also stood up and strongly supported Michael: "Boss, you are from Michael, you haven't appeared in front of the audience for several years, and many fans are nostalgic for you..."
Burst!
Except for Michael, who couldn't understand Chinese, the others in the room couldn't hold back, and were laughed at by Lin Zhiling's fierce words, and even the iceberg beauty Zhou Ruonan laughed loudly.
Lin Jingkang was particularly speechless, staring at Lin Zhiling with resentment, the latter was so embarrassed by him that he couldn't even say all the words that followed.
Michael was confused and confused.
"Don't discuss the starring matter, let's get the special effects out first!"
Next year is 04 years, which is also a turbulent year, Lin Jingkang doesn't feel that he has time to make movies, besides, Gao Yuanyuan's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and when the time comes, when the two children come, he, as a responsible father, will definitely have to set aside more time to spend with the children.
The Athens Olympics and the Indian Ocean tsunami are definitely the biggest news stories of '04.
Coupled with local wars and earthquakes around the world, natural disasters such as earthquakes have caused fluctuations in the financial market to some extent, and for Lin Jingkang, these are the things he should pay the most attention to.
With the strengthening of his memory and the improvement of his vision, many of his memories of his past life have become clearer and clearer, and many memory fragments in the depths of his mind have been turned out, becoming his greatest wealth.
For Michael and Lin Zhiling, Lin Jingkang's refusal to appear again was too shocking, and both of them were very disappointed.
For others, whether Lin Jingkang plays or not is not something they should care about, like Zhou Ruonan, she only cares about the safety of the former, and the rest are rarely within her consideration.
