Chapter 9 Film Investment
Before coming to Treasure Island, Lin Xingchen thought about investment. The investment of close to five million is somewhat beyond his expectations. Even if you have money, you can't invest indiscriminately! Five million is not a small amount!
Looking at Jay Chou's eyes that seemed to be very urgent, Lin Xingchen still said very seriously: "Jie Lun, as you said, I do have five million funds." But I want to know, why did you choose to invest in me? ”
Regarding Lin Xingchen's curiosity, Jay Chou said in a timely manner: "What do you say!" As soon as I come, I know that you kid will definitely be able to come up with these five million. Second, I also think that your investment vision should be very good.
As far as I know, the online short film you shot last year was very well received after it was launched. According to market estimates, your studio's revenue last year was at least nearly 10 million. This shows that you don't fight unprepared battles.
Coupled with the songs you write, you can almost never miss, and I want to touch your luck too. It's more about hoping to make this movie less distracting from the outside. Let those people see, I'm not making a movie for a ticket! ”
Although Jay Chou is a popular little king, he set up a brokerage company on his own and became a CEO, and many bigwigs in the circle think he is too impulsive. Now he is directing a selfie again, which is an overconfident move.
It's just that Jay Chou feels that he has made detailed market forecasts from the conception to the implementation of this movie. With his popularity and box office appeal, I believe that as long as it is not a bad movie, it should not be a problem to recover the investment.
But when everything is not time to see the real chapter, no one dares to guarantee the ticket. Taking out 5 million to invest in a movie is already a very bold move in Jay Chou's opinion. But when you're young, isn't it just a heartbeat to play?
Faced with Jay Chou's truth, Lin Xingchen could only say: "Let me make a call first!" To be honest, I really didn't expect that the budget for this movie would be so fast. Originally, I expected. 10 million or so is about the same.
Now it seems that your budget is exceeding my expectations. I originally wanted to invest 2 million, but now it seems that I can only add more. I need to calculate whether the extra three million will affect my follow-up plans. ”
After saying hello to Jay Chou, Lin Xingchen directly dialed his uncle Xu Maocai's phone. Learn about the stock investment in your name. When it had reached more than 40 million, Lin Xingchen also seemed a little surprised.
On the contrary, Xu Maocai said with a smile: "The stock market will rise more after the year, and your investment income will naturally increase exponentially." Why, do you want to use money again? Withdraw your money now, I'm afraid you'll regret it! ”
With Lin Xingchen in his mind, the expectations of this round of bull market slowly told Xu Maocai. This equity financier has made a lot of money in the stock market. But few people really know about his investment in the stock market.
For Xu Maocai's words. Lin Xingchen said quickly: "No, I just want to draw an extra three million, it shouldn't have any effect, right?" ”
'Three million? That doesn't make a difference! Where do you plan to invest this money? ’
understands that Lin Xingchen has always been very cautious in spending money. This time he suddenly wanted to draw three million, Xu Mao naturally asked more, and Lin Xingchen also talked about investing in movies.
With a five-million investment in making a movie, Xu Maocai was still a little worried: "Are you sure?" ”
This kind of thing. So what about 100% certainty? I wrote the script, though. The director is also a friend of mine. With his box office appeal and strength, at least he won't lose money! ’
But if you leave your 3 million in the stock market, I'm afraid it will turn over in two months! ’
Listening to Xu Maocai's words, Lin Xingchen also said in a timely manner: "Uncle, there is no such thing as the stock market, there is no 100% sure profit or loss. Although I'm sure. This bull market will continue for some time. But that's always just a prediction!
You are a professional player who plays this, and you should understand this truth. Therefore, when it is delivered at the end of the month, you will deposit 20 million from the profit to my private account. The rest of the funds. Even if you lose, don't be afraid. ”
Lin Xingchen's calmness made Xu Maocai realize that the success of this period of time made him indeed a little fluttering. Following Lin Xingchen, he also made a lot of money. The net worth is tens of millions, and it seems that it is not far away.
'Okay, it seems that you kid is calm, I'll call you later.' The remaining 20 million will be deposited into your private account as much as possible. If nothing else, after this round of delivery period, your net worth will break 50 million! ’
'That's far from being a billionaire!' The capital game, to put it bluntly, is a bunch of numbers games. This kind of game is not yet something we can play. It's good to see it, that's my style of doing things! ’
'Ok, you're the boss, I'll listen to you!' ’
After ending the call with Xu Maocai, Lin Xingchen said happily: "Okay, I'll take the remaining five million investments." However, this is the first time in my life that I have made such a large investment. If you lose, be careful that I rely on you next time! ”
When talking to Xu Maocai before, Lin Xingchen used Mingzhu's local dialect, and Zhou Jielun didn't understand it very well. But the word billionaire, he still understands a little bit.
A little surprised, he said, "Xingchen, can I take the liberty of asking a question, how much net worth do you have now?" ”
'What? Want to rob? The film and television company I opened in the second half of the year is expected to inject 20 million yuan, which is considered a wholly-owned company by me. That's pretty much it, that's all my net worth. ’
concealed a little bit of personal assets, but the net worth of 20 million still made Jay Chou feel devastated: "Hearing your words, it reminds me of a sentence, making people more popular than people!"
I have debuted for so many years, and I have worked hard to earn this net worth. It's good that you've made so much money before you graduated. You kid, did you go and rob the bank? ”
'Almost! The way my net worth grew was not much different from robbing a bank. However, my current assets are also very risky. One is not good, and it is very likely that you will be destitute in an instant. That's why I chose to invest more. ’
Seeing that Jay Chou didn't seem to understand, Lin Xingchen had no choice but to explain: "Actually, my studio's income last year was less than five million. However, from the beginning of my enrollment, I started asking people to help me invest in stocks.
And my luck is good, it seems that I have encountered a new round of domestic stock bull market. As a result, my investment has increased in value. I made a phone call before, and I also pulled out a sum of money from the stock market to temporarily save the emergency.
It's just a stock thing, you should know very well, maybe it will be lost that day. Therefore, I decided to accept it when I saw it, and withdraw the funds at the appropriate time to concentrate on my film and television company. ”
After listening to Lin Xingchen's explanation, Jay Chou also felt that Lin Xingchen's luck was really good. But he also understands that there is such a thing as stocks, and it is indeed very likely that a bad family will go bankrupt.
No matter what, the investment of five million is done, and Jay Chou also understands. In a sense, the young man in front of him has the same status as him. And compared to the time he worked hard, the speed of Lin Xingchen's rise can be described as amazing!
At noon on the day he arrived at Treasure Island, Jay Chou personally drove Lin Xingchen to a well-known restaurant on Treasure Island for dinner. After eating, Lin Xingchen was invited to visit his music company in advance.
Looking at this office building with an area of more than 200 square meters, Lin Xingchen also sighed: "Yes, this area is quite large!" And the sight is also very good, it seems that you are also a person who knows how to enjoy! ”
Of course, since it's my company, I'm going to have to dress it up. However, in order to prepare for this company and the upcoming film, the savings I have accumulated over the years have almost been spent. ’
Regarding Jay Chou's sigh, Lin Xingchen said with a smile: "With your current fame, I think you shouldn't worry about making money." If you just want to make more money, at least for a short time, you're afraid that you'll be busy again without touching the ground. ”
'Yes! After making this film, my next focus is to prepare for my concert tour. There will be a concert in Mingzhu then, you shouldn't be absent, right? I know that your singing skills are quite good. ’
Jay Chou, who said this with a smile, also understood that after the company was established, most of them also relied on him to make money. And the concert tour is also a relatively large-scale circle of money activities after he established the company.
Facing Jay Chou's invitation, Lin Xingchen also smiled and said, "Okay! Being a guest at your concert is a good thing that is hard to find with a lantern, and I naturally won't refuse. It's not good to sing, don't blame me then! ”
After accompanying Jay Chou to visit the company, Jay Chou personally gathered some friends in the circle that night to pick up the dust for Lin Xingchen, a friend who has known each other for a long time but admires very much.
learned that Lin Xingchen came to Treasure Island, and several singers who had worked with him were very face-saving to be there, among which Fan Weiqi even brought her boyfriend black. As a result, such a gathering of celebrities still made many paparazzi on Treasure Island smell the breath.
Even if Jay Chou arranges K-songs, it is a KTV with very strict protection measures. But it is also clear that a bunch of people like them appear here, if the paparazzi can't hear the wind at all, they really underestimate the strength of the paparazzi.
Looking at Jay Chou's somewhat depressed expression, Lin Xingchen smiled and said, "It's okay, this is not something unsightly." If you don't get angry, then sing it to us, and you wrote a song for them. ”
Listening to Lin Xingchen's words, Luo Zhixiang, the little pig who also participated in the party, also smiled and said: "Yes, your song is the most enjoyable to sing at this time." If the sound can get out, you can sing it to them live, and it will definitely make headlines tomorrow! ”
It is clear that Jay Chou wrote this song back then, which really made the paparazzi on the island angry. But in fact, as Jay Chou's popularity soars, the paparazzi also can't do anything about Jay Chou.
Even in a sense, Jay Chou's ability to keep the news in the entertainment industry is inseparable from the key care of these paparazzi. Now these paparazzi are coming around again, and naturally they want to dig up some so-called scoops again! (To be continued......)
