Chapter 401: Huge Investment
Finally came, Lin Xiao nodded secretly, since the moment Su Tiannian became the number of no thieves in the world, the Chinese film industry is no longer peaceful.
New Year's Day has passed, and now it is 03, and in 03, there are several major events in his memory.
The first is the birth of the largest entertainment group in the country, the second is the entry of Warner into Chinese cinemas, and the third is the opening of Wanda Cinemas.
China's film and television industry has been pulled down, and now is the time for each to show their strengths.
Su Tiannian stared at Lin Xiao intently, and he was also very nervous in his heart, the current Lin Xiao, reputation, fame, and worth have doubled up, and it has reached the point where it can influence the young generation in China.
He had to be cautious.
"Yes." After a while, Lin Xiao said lightly, "However, let's change it to tomorrow, I have already made a full arrangement today." ”
Su was stunned and asked Mrs. Camuel to wait? There are not many people in American circles who dare to say this.
But until, Mrs. Camyr's nickname "Thatcher the Two," was kind and iron-blooded, and the usual means of cleaning up those who did not agree.
It is precisely because of her courage to fight that she was sent to open up this unknown market.
After thinking about it for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "I will tell Madame Camuel the original way." ”
Lin Xiao didn't care what he thought, now during the New Year's Day holiday, except for a few artists with schedules, such as Wen Zhang and Tang Wei, the others are on holiday.
He walked straight into the general manager's room, Qin Zhong was looking at the report, and his mouth couldn't close.
In addition, there was a long-lost person sitting next to him.
Chu Yiming.
"Mr. Chu." Qin Zhong put down the report, and couldn't close his mouth, "So far, there are no thieves in the world with a total income of more than 200 million, and after conversion, Dawn and Huayi Lianhe Investment will each take 20%, and the net income will be more than 40 million." ”
"Your shout Mr. Chu makes me goosebumps." Chu Yiming gritted his teeth, when he heard that he was going to fight against the hero, he simply chose not to invest, and at this moment he was in the mood of dripping blood in his heart.
Regarding Qin Zhong's sarcasm of the honey sword, he simply chose not to answer, and when he looked at Lin Xiao, his whole expression suddenly changed.
It's like seeing the softness of Kannon.
"Lin Xiao, long time no see." He chuckled dryly, "How's it going?" ”
How to listen and how to be hypocritical.
Lin Xiao and Qin Zhong both had a sentence in their hearts, they were courteous and courteous, and they were either traitors or thieves.
"Not bad."
"You're asking him if there's a new movie, right?" Qin Zhong's words tore apart Chu Yiming's disguise.
"Caring for colleagues is a necessary quality for leaders, and only by combining grace and power can we achieve both rigidity and softness." Chu Yiming said solemnly, "Otherwise, people's hearts will be scattered, and the team will not be easy to lead." ”
The other two were in awe of the scale of this cheekiness.
"There it is." Lin Xiao sat on the sofa with a smile and poured a cup of coffee casually, "I'm going to start it as soon as possible." ”
In an instant, it was the other two's turn to be stunned.
"Got it?" Qin Zhonghu asked suspiciously, "Why don't I know?" ”
Chu Yiming's big eyes rolled behind his glasses, and he seemed to smell a hint of money as if he had a hint of it.
"It's being planned." Lin Xiao replied casually, he came back to tell Qin Zhong about this matter, "What is needed now is investment." ”
"Didn't you just make tens of millions?" Chu Yiming had a little meaning: "Let's talk about it." ”
"Tens of millions?" Lin Xiao smiled: "Not enough." ”
There was silence, and when he put down the cup, he realized that the two of them were looking at him like aliens.
"How much does the world invest without thieves?" Qin Zhong suddenly looked at him in a daze and spoke.
"Twenty-two million."
"How many do we have now?"
"More than 40 million."
"Not enough?"
"Not enough."
Chu Yiming also restrained his joking mentality, he looked at Lin Xiao seriously, as if he wanted to find traces of joking from his face, but unfortunately he failed.
"How much are you going to add?" He solemnly asked, "If I could, I would make a move this time." ”
Lin Xiao raised a finger.
"Ten million?" Chu Yiming frowned, this is also tricky for a person like him who has a huge amount of money and does not have much cash.
"It's a little more difficult, but it's not a big problem." He glanced at Lin Xiao, "The most important thing is that if you announce a new film now, the box office will be more than 100 million yuan, just by your name." ”
"It stands to reason that 1.5 times the box office can guarantee a return on investment, and there is also the artifact of product placement. An investment of 50 million, 130 million will be earned. He closed his eyes in contemplation, tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, and muttered, "Plus if this is our company's issuance, investment, this ratio can be reduced by ......"
"You're mistaken." Lin Xiao smiled mysteriously, "I'm not talking about 10 million. ”
Chu Yiming and Qin Zhong's brows were furrowed, and in less than a second, Chu Yiming stood up violently like an electric shock, and his fingers were pointing at Lin Xiao with a little trembling.
"You...... You mean......"
Qin Zhong also suddenly came to his senses, looked at him completely unrecognizable, his lips opened slightly, and he muttered in a tone that he couldn't even believe, "One hundred million? 100 million?! ”
"You're crazy!" Chu Yiming almost stormed away, "Huaxia, no!" Daybreak's total assets do not exceed 50 million! There is still no thief in the world! Even if you add the follow-up DVD within this year, it won't be more than 70 million! What film wants more than 100 million! Are you carried away by success! The whole Dawn is not worth 100 million! ”
"100 million ......" Qin Zhong also smiled bitterly, "It's too much...... Too much to be true. ”
"We don't have overseas funds, so it's impossible to ask for 100 million."
"Are you confident that you can earn back more than 250 million in one piece?! Another thief in the world? If we lose, we have nothing! ”
The two of you are talking to me word by word. Chu Yiming didn't approve of this crazy move at all, and Qin Zhong didn't say much.
Lin Xiao was silent, this kind of move, only he dares to do it in China, only he can do it!
Why does a company test the waters with small capital? Because of the fear of loss, the company will have nothing if it loses, and almost no company, whether it is China or foreign countries, dares to borrow money to make films!
Even Cameron and Spielberg don't dare to guarantee that their films will sell well, and their investment is even bigger, hundreds of millions...... Dollar! Even several giants in the world, such as Warner, dare not agree at once.
What's more, a little dawn?
But he dared!
Because he knows what films make money and what films don't. What film is an award-winning film, and what film is a commercial film. Word of mouth, art, business, he remembers these things clearly.
However, this cannot be said to anyone.
"This film will be the next box office miracle. It's also a miracle for me. 03 will be the year when the big screen remembers me. He said lightly, "Whether you insist on it or not, I have to make this film." ”
"Think about the fact that there are no thieves in the world, how much you opposed it at first, but what was the result?" He smiled slightly, "Don't dare to fight, how can there be a pie in the sky." ”
"Success cannot be replicated, and the success of no thief in the world does not mean that the next one will be successful!" Chu Yiming said resolutely, "Ten million, I can give out, but 100 million, this bet is too big, I can't afford to play." ”
"Aren't you here that there are no thieves in the world who didn't cut the cake and want to cut a piece? How? Stopped playing? Lin Xiao smiled, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, this piece is a much bigger cake than no thieves in the world." ”
Chu Yiming raised his eyebrows and didn't speak.
"Who's the script? Who is the director? After Qin Zhong was shocked, he didn't immediately object, and asked in a deep voice.
Lin Xiao recalled that film in his mind and muttered, "This is a mythological film. ”
"Costume films?" When Chu Yiming heard this, he shook his head even more, "There are no more product placements, this 100 million, it needs to be done in a real way, it is almost impossible." ”
Lin Xiao ignored him and recalled, "As for the director and screenwriter, it should be me." ”
……
There was a deathly silence in the room.
Qin Zhong and Chu Yiming both looked at him as if they didn't know him.
Who is Lin Xiao? It is undeniable that the most dazzling star of China's new generation is now comparable to the older generation, and there are only a few actors.
However, after all, he has only stepped into his third year, and he has only been in contact with the big screen twice, so he wants to write and direct the screen?
At this moment, even Qin Zhong couldn't help but sigh.
"Lin Xiao, you think about the movie too simply."
"You're wrong, it's because I don't think it's easy that I got involved in the Trinity in the third year after accumulating enough experience."
If I thought it was simple, the first thing I did when I was reborn was to pitch scripts, not to be an entertainer. He thought to himself.
Only by experiencing it first-hand can I know that a script is not so easy to write at all, and a shot is not so easy to use at all.
If it weren't for the eight months of systematic and non-stop training, he would still be looking for opportunities.
"Enough experience." Chu Yiming pushed his glasses, "That's a good point." ”
"In the first year, you added TV to the advertising circle, and in the second year, you were still on TV in the first half of the year, and you only started filming real starring dramas in the second half of the year, and you tell me now that you have enough experience?"
"Stephen Chow's trinity, is that the accumulation of more than ten years by others? What about you? ”
Actually, I have more than 10 years. Lin Xiao said in his heart, and said, "Look at it again, I was also going to pull investment." ”
"You're really determined to shoot!" Chu Yiming's face was ugly, he snorted coldly and slammed the door, throwing down a sentence.
"Lin Xiao, Lin Xiao, I thought you were an old and serious person, but now I really regret cooperating with you guys!"
In the room, because of the little unpleasantness just now, the atmosphere is very delicate.
"Brother-in-law, what about you?" Lin Xiao asked.
Qin Zhong felt that this title was harsh, but now he was in no mood to refute it.
He is not Chu Yiming, he was born in a military family, he is ruthless enough, and he is hot-blooded enough, Chu Yiming will be afraid of some things, but he dares to rush.
However, he didn't reply to Lin Xiao at this moment.
100 million, the number involved is too big, so big that even the Qin family has to think about it.
"I'll think about it." He gritted his teeth and said, "Will give you an answer as soon as possible." ”
"But let me warn you first, I can't come up with 100 million. Unless your film is a red movie, I can convince the old man to invest, but mythological drama, I can only join as me. ”
"In other words, even if the dawn is smashed in, you have to raise the remaining tens of millions!"
