Chapter 787 Investment Requirements

The two of them bit their ears there, James forgot that he was still naked, and the more Lin Zixian said, the more surprised he became, his eyes were full of confusion, and he couldn't understand what Lin Zixian was doing. However, there is no danger to him after thinking about it, and Lin Zixian's request is indeed a small request, and there is no problem in handling it, so he naturally agreed to it one by one.

After the matter was settled, James asked, "When will I contact Mr. Heller?"

Lin Zixian took the initiative to touch a glass with him, and said with a fishy smile: "I am ready to enter the global film and television industry, naturally the sooner the better, you can contact Mr. Heller now to see when he has time to negotiate."

James laughed, "I think Mr. Heller will be very happy to know the news." He put down his glass, walked into the bedroom bare-bottomed, and came out with his blazer. After sitting back on the couch, he took a notebook out of his pocket, opened it and found Heller's contact number, picked up the landline next to him and dialed the number.

It didn't take long for a man's voice to come over the phone, "Hello. ”

James smiled, "Mr. Heller, I'm James, and I hope it doesn't disturb your rest."

The man on the phone was stunned, as if he didn't expect this underworld godfather to call him at this point in time, he vaguely guessed something, and said with some surprise: "No, of course not, I'm glad to receive your call, I don't know what advice I have?"

James laughed, "I have a client who admires your name and is interested in your war movie, and hopes to have the opportunity to work with you."

Heller paused slightly, the two didn't know each other on the first day, in fact, he knew in his heart that the customer in the mouth of the godfather of the underworld was not a legitimate way to come, and he wanted to take the opportunity to launder money, but it was none of his business, he just needed to use the investor's investment to make a good movie, and he didn't participate in money laundering, and he had nothing to do with it. In fact, it is an open secret in the circle that most of Hollywood's film productions are involved in black money.

Truly powerful investors, if the money comes from the right source, will not invest large-scale funds in the production of films with a long operation cycle, especially the production of blockbuster films is more time-consuming. After all, the movie is only eaten money and does not have any cash return during the production period, and only after the results come out do you know whether you can make money, not to mention taking risks, it is an intermittent industry, and it is not worth long-term investment, so really powerful investors will rarely smash the money from the right way into the movie, and it is better to invest directly in film and television companies for long-term investment.

He smiled slowly, "That's my pleasure, I don't know if you told him my budget, how much is he going to invest?"

James smiled: "$500 million, my client is ready to participate wholly, I think it should be enough, if you are interested, we can take time to meet and talk."

Half a billion dollars? Heller was surprised, 50 million more than his budget, and immediately rejoiced: "Of course there is time, if you don't bother, I think we can talk tomorrow morning."

James looked back at Lin Zixian, and when he saw him nodding, he immediately replied, "I'll go to your studio to find you at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

"We look forward to your visit."

After the two hung up the phone after saying goodbye to each other, James spread his hands to Lin Zi and repeated, "I'll meet Heller tomorrow morning at nine o'clock for an interview."

Lin Zixian raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp, slapped the wine glass on the coffee table, patted James on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I hope you don't play tricks, otherwise I promise that not only you, but also your son and your mistress will go to see God."

James smiled wryly, "I believe in Julius Caesar's promise, so I have no reason to play any tricks, that would not do me any good."

"I hope so." After Lin Zixian asked him for a contact number, he picked up an apple, threw it casually, and slammed it on the wall switch, and the room suddenly went dark. Lin Zixian got up and walked to the window, opened the curtains, pushed open the window, looked at the colorful Manhattan, and turned around and said, "See you tomorrow."

Throwing down a sentence, he quickly jumped and climbed out of the window, only to see a black shadow falling down.

James was dumbfounded, there was a high-rise building of more than fifty floors outside, so he jumped out directly?

After staying for a while, he quickly ran to the window and poked his head out to look down against the whirring wind, where could he still see the shadow of a person.

There was really no trace of him, and he didn't borrow any aids, and James had a little tingling on his scalp, and he only now realized that it was not safe to hide anywhere in the face of such a person. However, after the window was closed, he looked at his slippery body, and then touched the watch on his wrist, and muttered to himself again, "I have the ability to find the trouble of that goddess, and I don't dare to find the culprit, it's just ......."

Early the next morning, in a certain basement, Lin Zixian, who was sitting in front of the mirror, was already unrecognizable, becoming a foreign devil with brown hair and a high nose, and a disguised master rat who was proficient in tracking was putting on makeup for him.

After a lot of effort, the small and delicate elf who was leaning against the wall with his arms and watching threw a blazer over, Lin Zixian caught it and quickly put it on his body, looked at the mirror from front to back, left and right, and smiled with satisfaction.

Leaving the mirror, he opened his fingers to the two, and the two of them also smiled and waved their hands, witnessing him leave.

When he came to the street, Lin Zixian took a car and left, and got off the car all the way to a busy street. Standing under the billboard on the side of the road, he dialed the phone and was talking, seeing three small cars coming, he waved his hand and said, "Under the billboard." Hang up the phone.

Three cars pulled up beside him, the windows of the front and rear cars were lowered, and bodyguards in sunglasses watched him warily. Lin Zi ignored it, walked to the car in the middle, pulled the door and bent down to look, and saw James sitting inside and looking at him in amazement.

Lin Zixian quickly got in and closed the car door, sat down and turned around and stretched out his hand, "Mr. James, did you rest well last night?"

James immediately understood that the guy was putting on makeup, shook his hand, and said, "Thanks to you, I have a good rest." He turned around and gestured for the driver to continue driving.

The two chatted without saying a word, and ten minutes later three cars turned into the underground parking lot of a building. After the two got out of the car, James asked his subordinates to stay, and walked into the elevator with Lin Zixian, because this Julius Caesar would not wait until now if he wanted to do something to himself, and several of his subordinates may not be able to protect themselves.

As soon as the two got out of the elevator, they saw Mr. Heller, the famous director who often appeared in the entertainment media, and his beautiful female assistant personally greeted him outside the elevator.

After James and Heller shook hands and greeted each other, he pointed to Lin Zixian and introduced: "Mr. Duke, the client represents the investment supervisor this time."

Heller immediately shook hands with Lin Zixian with a smile on his face, how could the investor representative not be polite, turned around and led the two to his studio, and while introducing his studio, he took the two to his office and sat down.

After the beautiful female assistant served coffee to the three of them, Heller went straight to the point, and asked Lin Zi with a casual smile: "Mr. Duke, I would like to know your investment plan."

Lin Zixian slowly sipped his coffee and didn't speak, James looked at the female assistant and smiled, Heller immediately turned around and said, "Alice, what do you need to find you again."

The beautiful female assistant immediately understood that she was going to avoid it, nodded with a smile, turned around and walked out of the office and closed the door.

Heller smiled at Lin Zi and stretched out his hand, motioning for please. Lin Zixian looked expressionless, put down his coffee, and said, "Mr. James has already mentioned to me your budget of $450 million, and we are going to add a budget of $50 million."

Heller touched his gray beard with interest, and the investors cut the budget a lot, and it was the first time I saw the one who took the initiative to add money, and couldn't help laughing: "I think there must be some special request, I hope it's not to make a certain actor popular, or interfere with my shooting."

Lin Zixian shook his head and said: "In terms of actors, we only hope that there will be no less than one top Hollywood star, as for which star to use, this is the director's right, we will not interfere, and at the same time, we will not interfere with the director's filming work, and the director has full autonomy." However, we hope that the publicity before the start of filming must be known to the whole world, at least the United States, and we hope to have a public and eye-catching ceremony, and I believe that with Mr. Heller's influence in the entertainment industry, he will be able to gather many celebrities to attend the ceremony and cause a sensation. And we hope to see the ceremony within a week. ”

"Within a week?" Heller couldn't help frowning, as the other party said, it is not a problem to gather some celebrities with his own influence, the only thing is that the time is a little rushed, and now he has not even implemented the funds and contracts, in case of making a joke, wouldn't it be lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

Lin Zixian immediately emphasized: "This is what my boss meant." James glanced at him, not knowing what the hell he was trying to do.

Heller actually wanted to know who his boss was, but James explained that the investment was handled by his company, and the boss behind the scenes didn't want to show up. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "When will your funds and contracts be secured?"

Lin Zi spread his hands and said: "I think Mr. James has already told you that the upfront investment of 300 million US dollars can be put in place at any time, and the contract can be signed as soon as it is ready, so you don't have to worry about anything."

Heller nodded, if the upfront investment of 300 million yuan can be put in place, if the other party does not execute the contract in the later stage, it will not be a problem to pull another 100 million or 200 million funds by himself, there is really nothing to worry about. Then he smiled: "If the details of the contract can be finalized within three days, together with the upfront funds, I can guarantee that the world's major media will be invited to participate within a week, so that you can see a grand opening ceremony."

"Good." Lin Zixian nodded and said, "In addition, I hope that all the props and extras for filming will be provided by me."

Heller's brow furrowed for a moment, and James glanced at it, immediately knowing that the artist had made another mistake in pursuing perfection in detail, and must be worried about the quality of the props. He immediately patted Heller's arm and motioned for him to come out with him.

The two left Lin Zixian to drink coffee alone, and after coming to the corridor outside the office, James immediately whispered: "Heller, I hope you can understand that the reason why the investor added 50 million yuan is due to Mr. Duke. But Mr. Duke doesn't want to be in vain, he wants to raise the purchase price from the prop manufacturer, and then get a certain amount of rebate, you just need to give the film crew the authorization to buy the props, so that he can get what he needs reasonably.

Of course, the quality of the props can be fully guaranteed, and it can be made clear in the contract that if it is not qualified, you can not accept it, which is a win-win situation and does not conflict. (To be continued)
