Coffee culture is constantly developing and growing all over the world.

European-style coffee represented by Italy and France, emphasizing quality and taste, is basically a very stylish European-style shop; The American coffee, represented by Starbucks, emphasizes professionalism and speed, and the store is arranged like a second office.

Kimchi Country, a small country that does not produce a single coffee bean, has the sixth largest number of coffee shops in the world, but Lin Dong really can't summarize what style these stores belong to. Cakes, ice cream, ramen, tteukichi and even grilled meat, is this still a coffee shop?

On another table not far away, Da Jian was feasting on barbecue. Lin Dong regretted endlessly, he shouldn't have found this pit to pretend to be a professional driver, like a starving ghost reincarnated, which is not in line with the theme of today's cosplay at all.

Changing into a brand-name casual wear, and it is very rare to wax his hair, Lin Dong properly looks like a wealthy and noble son, takes a sip of coffee, and says slowly; "Director Kang Hyung-chul, are you preparing a new movie, can you talk about it?"

"Yes, yes, are you interested in investing?" Jiang Jiongzhe hurriedly replied, with some earnest expectation in his tone.

Maybe it's the luxury car of Yakos to start and the noble son to finish, in short, Lin Dong's plan to install B is initially successful, and he has created an image of a rich and capricious fish investor.

"Hmm. I heard Brother Taixian say that Director Jiang is very talented, and his first movie "Speed Scandal" directed and filmed by more than 8 million people watched. Although he has not personally experienced these business negotiations, Lin Dong has learned a lot from the black-hearted boss of S.N Fitness in China.

"Hehe, don't dare to take credit, don't dare to take credit. It's all because the actors played well, Cha Tae-hyun and Park Bo-young are very suitable for the role positioning of "Speed Scandal". He said that he didn't dare to take credit, but Jiang Jiongzhe smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth.

……

The topic was discussed, Lin Dong congratulated the success of "Speed Scandal" like a leader at the grassroots level, and expressed cordial condolences to Director Jiang who was working on the front line.

The person who pays to make a film, to put it nicely, is called a film investor; If you don't hear it, it's a vampire. Do you really think that being rich is an uncle?

How many kinds of directors are there? Like Jiang Jiongzhe, who only made his first movie and became one of the top ranks, he was so arrogant that he didn't want to drop, the most important thing for this kind of big director is investors? Everything is just a condition that cannot be negotiated, and the buyer and seller are completely two-way choices.

A month ago, Lin Dong had already chosen Jiang Jiongzhe and "Sunshine Sisters". What needs to be done now is to let Director Jiang choose Lin Dong to invest.

After going around in circles for a long time and playing N times of Tai Chi, the two of them have a preliminary understanding. Jiang Jiongzhe finally couldn't hold his breath and took the lead in entering the topic.

"The script of "Sunshine Sisters" was written by me myself, and after several years of improvement, it is definitely an excellent work." Kang Hyung-cheol sells hard.

Of course, Lin Dong, a reborn person, knows that this movie is good enough, but when it comes to negotiations, bones must be picked out of the eggs. "I've heard a little bit about the content of the story from Brother Taixian, and of course there is no director Jiang in this regard. So I won't evaluate it, the only thing I want to say is that this is completely a women's movie, and there is no similar genre in the history of Kimchi National Films. ”

"No, no, no!" Jiang Jiongzhe exploded on the spot, "Although the characters are all women." But the theme of the movie revolves around two M words, Memory, melody melody. It's a story of reminiscing about youth and friendship, and it's for everyone to watch. ”

"In this regard, of course, I believe in Director Jiang's professional vision. But the film market still has to pay attention to statistics. Director Jiang, can you talk about your expectations for this movie, as well as the investment quota requirements? "Lin Dong is too lazy to talk to him about 2M or something, the layman pretends to be okay, if he really wants to talk about professional things, isn't that looking for abuse?

"Due to the limited subject matter of this film, it may not be too unnatural in terms of box office revenue. I expect it to be a little worse than the box office of "Speeding Scandal", but it should also be above five million people. Jiang Jiongzhe said very calmly.

Lin Dong was taken aback, this big director really has some skills. "Sunshine Sisters" is purely from the box office, and in the end, more than 7 million viewers are indeed not as high as the box office when Jiang Jiongzhe filmed his first movie.

Kang Jiung-chul continued: "But the income of the film is not all based on the box office. For the film "Sunshine Sisters", I am aiming for DVD income and copyright income. This kind of movie that reminisces about the past and reminisces about youth is very suitable for watching in graduation season, class reunions and other occasions. DVDs are certainly worth collecting. ”

The reborn person has put away the sense of superiority that predicts the future at this time, and this Nima has all made Jiang Jiongzhe guess correctly. In countries with strict copyright protection, box office revenue generally accounts for about three or four percent of all film revenue, and some special movies are even dispensable at the box office.

"Sunshine Sisters" has performed well at the box office, but the most profitable is the income from other aspects, and those incomes are trickling down the drain, every year.

Lin Dong's expression was very silent, which made Jiang Jiongzhe unable to guess Lin Dong's thoughts. I had to continue to add, "There are no special effects in this movie, and there are not too many locations, and I plan to use new people, so the shooting cost budget is only about 1 billion won." ”

Kang Hyung-chul said cautiously that 1 billion won is really just a small cost, and the conversion to RMB is less than five million. But his movie is a completely new theme, there has never been a similar pure woman movie in the history of Kimchi National Film, and those earnings are all personal evaluations, and there is no past data to refer to.

"1 billion? I've heard that it only costs 200 million won. For a while, Lin Dong said that he had leaked his mouth.

"You, you, how do you know my offer to CJ?" Kang Hyung-chul had a ghostly expression on his face, he had already had a preliminary talk with CJ, but it was very secretive.

When Lin Dong heard this, he only had a wry smile and a little bit of happiness. Fortunately, I didn't wait for the songs to be divided, otherwise, the daylily would be cold by then. This Director Jiang is really a goblin, and he actually casts nets everywhere to catch fish.

Lin Dong, who was quick to say something for a while, pretended to be B at this time, "I know more or less about the things in the circle." A big company like CJ has a lot of people, hehe. ”

The simple and meaningful "hehe" chuckle scared director Jiang Jiongzhe so much that he didn't want to drop.

Jiang Jiongzhe took several sips of coffee in a row to hide his shocked and embarrassed expression. I was beating a drum in my heart, I couldn't figure out how much Lin Dong knew? Will such a double standard have a negative impact on this investment? Jiang Jiongzhe's heart was up and down, and he was in a mess.

Lin Dong also raised his coffee cup and made the same move. He just knows that the investment of 200 million won will be exchanged for hundreds of times the income, but he doesn't know anything about the specific situation. Reborn people are not computers, and it is good to remember that "Sunshine Sisters" can make a fortune.

The current inside situation is somewhat unexpected to Lin Dong, all the things that are known through future memories have been used up, and the rest can only rely on his own on-the-spot performance.

"Director Jiang, tell me about the situation you talked to CJ. We are all understanding people, there is no need to hide it. "Knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, this kind of basic common sense, Lin Dong still knows, so he is eager to know the situation of CJ.

"I told CJ that the production cost was 200 million won, because they were a large group that was able to bring in a lot of product placements, which offset some of the shooting costs, and the publicity cost was also lower." Jiang Jiongzhe is explaining that the two numbers of 200 million and 1 billion are really a bit outrageous, and it is easy for people to misunderstand.

CJ Group is a well-known large company in Kimchi Country, and it is about the same level as Samsung Group. And the scope is wider, with subsidiaries from all walks of life spread throughout the kimchi country. By simply relying on CJ's own various types of businesses, it is possible to contract the placement of advertisements for a movie. Jiang Jiongzhe's two sets of shooting cost algorithms are actually not too much at fault.

"Whether it's 200 million or 1 billion, it's actually just a small cost. Director Jiang doesn't need to worry too much about these details, I won't mind. "Lin Dong continues to pretend to be B, playing the role of a noble son who is not bad for money." It's just this little money, why doesn't Director Jiang shoot it by himself? ”

This is a problem that Lin Dong has always had in his heart. Because many famous actors in China are "acting and directing", as if they are casually making movies. If the big director is so confident in "Sunshine Sisters", it is better to shoot it himself. The cost of up to one billion won is only a few million RMB, which should not be bad.

"I took the director's fee and script fee for "Speeding Scandal", and I didn't take a share of the box office, so I ......"

"Poof." Lin Dong, who was drinking coffee, sprayed and tried his best to hold back a smile, this Jiang Jiongzhe is really a poor baby, the ticket price of the Kimchi Country movie is 10,000 won, "Speed Scandal" has been watched by more than 8 million people, and the box office is 80 billion won. But this joke is getting a fixed salary, and he deserves to be unlucky.

The salary of the top "actor" in Kimchi Country is about 700 million won, less than 4 million RMB, which is only one-tenth of China's top stars. So after becoming famous, Kimchi Country actors like to go to other countries to film.

A rookie director who directs for the first time, where can the salary be high? Kang Hyung-cheol, who takes a fixed salary, may get about 500 million won. And after three years of retreat and practice, I created "Sunshine Sisters" again, I'm afraid that the previous family background had already spent seventy-seven or eighty-eight.

What others are unhappy about is their own happiness. Lin Dongle was happy: The more Jiang Jiongzhe is forced, the easier it will be to talk about it later.
