The two came to a high-end restaurant together, and the waiter at the door glanced at Lin Xiao, who was wearing a down jacket instead of a brand-name coat, several times.

Neither of them spoke, Chu Yiming directly handed over a card, and then the waiter brought the two of them in kneeling and licking mode.

In the box, the two of them who were as warm as chūn took off their coats and just hung them up, Chu Yiming ordered a large table of dishes, asked for a few bottles of Laojiao, and sent the waiter out.

"Mr. Chu, you know I don't drink."

"I want to drink." Chu Yiming sighed, "During this time, it's really going crazy for me." ”

The cold dishes were quickly served, Chu Yiming didn't say a word, poured the wine, and drank a big sip before he let out a long breath.

"Do you know that the first movie I watched was Shaolin Temple."

Lin Xiao nodded, he knew, just listen to it now.

These are the words in Chu Yiming's heart, if it weren't for this incident, if it wasn't for this state, I'm afraid he would never hear it.

"At that time, if there was a box office in Shaolin Temple, I am afraid that one person would have one or two hundred million yuan, right?" Chu Yiming laughed, "Since that time, I have developed a strong interest in this magical thing. ”

"However, I studied finance in the United States. My family wouldn't allow me to go into the film department. ”

"Every vacation, I never came back, I stayed in Hollywood. Don't say it, I've seen Spielberg and had a meal together. ”

"During that time, I was the happiest since I turned 18. After returning to China, I founded Huaxia despite my family's opposition. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Yiming raised his glass with a wry smile, "As you know, after signing a series of unequal treaties, I finally entered the domestic circle." ”

"I didn't expect it......" He drank the bitter water in the cup, "Woe to Xiao Wall......"

Speaking of this, he stopped, looked at the ceiling for a few seconds, and then muttered, "It can't be regarded as a disaster for Xiao Wall, there are some things...... It's a bit of a coincidence......"

"Why did your brother who never cared about me know about it when it just broke the news? And so sensitive? And the zhèngfǔ department came to check on overseas relations? I've only recently figured out these things...... It's someone who can't get used to me and uses the film of the Golden Horse Ten Awards to set me up. ”

His gaze turned cold, "The old man is right, I can't cover everything yet, some things are really impossible to prevent." ”

Lin Xiao had a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he had caught something, picked up the cup and toasted Mr. Chu, and asked tentatively, "Is Mr. Chu right to you?" ”

The Mr. Chu he said was naturally the chairman of Yongle and the big boss Chu Tianyi.

Chu Yiming looked at him and smiled, "Naturally, I didn't expect it." I have to say that ginger is still old and spicy. ”

"His exact words were, I crossed the line, and I didn't have the support of my family, so I was suppressed by local forces."

I see!

Lin Xiao suddenly realized that the aura just now was finally connected.

At the Golden Eagle Award, Zhao Xingyu was not the one who wanted to move at all! In other words, he is just an opportunity, one of the purposes, but not the most important purpose!

What they want to move is Huaxia!

Give Zhao Xingyu and them a fulcrum, and they really pried Huaxia up.

"Don't get me wrong, it's not your fault." Seeing Lin Xiao's face, Chu Yiming smiled and said, "There is no this time, there will be a next time, as long as I can't be negligent and not miss it, they will always have a chance, this is a lesson for me." ”

He gritted his teeth and said, "Unfortunately, I don't know who it is!" ”

"Who the hell put this trap on me!"

Lin Xiao was silent, Mr. Chu, after all, he is a businessman, profit is the best, and if he says it, I'm afraid it's not as simple as a car accident.

"Huaxia is a dream of mine, just leave, I'm not reconciled!" Chu Yiming's eyes sharpened: "If they want to buy it, I will terminate all the artists!" Let them buy an empty shell! Even if they disperse, I don't want to leave them behind! ”

"But now......" he glanced at Lin Xiao meaningfully, "I really didn't expect you to make this request." ”

Lin Xiao took a deep breath, he couldn't let go of this opportunity.

"Mr. Chu, I will make Huaxia a top company."

"Promises are useless, far less reliable than black and white." Chu Yiming waved his hand, "Actually, I thought about it in the car just now." Instead of giving it to others, it is better to give it to your own people. At least, I don't resist. ”

"Huaxia's investment is not enough to break my bones. But since you're going to buy it, I'm not going to completely divest it! ”

Lin Xiao frowned, if Mr. Chu wants to get involved again, the three parties will be a joint venture, and the risk can be shared, but things will become troublesome.

Most importantly, he is confident that there will be no risks.

With a small investment and a big box office, he can count more than a dozen films. The crazy stone that invested 3 million at the box office and 30 million, and the person who invested 7 million at the box office and 50 million was embarrassed, all of which can guarantee that he will not lose money in recent years.

However, it was difficult for him to tell Mr. Chu the truth of the matter.

How so? said that he was reborn and came back, and he knew all the films he was going to release in the future, and the hero box office could guess it?

It's strange not to be considered a neuropathy by Mr. Chu.

"Mr. Chu, actually...... There is also a person who wants to join the investment as well. ”

Chu Yiming was taken aback, and saw Lin Xiao's gaze change to cautious for the first time, "You mean...... You've been planning this for a long time? ”

"No, it's also a coincidence, I had a hunch when you stopped spending money a few months ago, and then I went to Nanjing last week and met the Black Ice investor. It happened to be an acquaintance of mine, and I talked about it by chance, and I was afraid that I didn't have enough funds, so I talked to him. ”

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as chatting, is it?" Chu Yiming smiled, "But forget it, if you want to buy it, I have to participate, it's as simple as that." ”

When it came to business, both of them put away their smiles and became serious.

"I have a 20% share, I don't participate, but I ask about company affairs, and I don't interfere in your film selection, casting, and dividends every year, starting this year, I will withdraw if I lose money for two consecutive years."

Lin Xiao groaned and said, "Mr. Chu, I want to take 60% of the share, this has been agreed with Qin Zhong, every time I lose a part, I will give him my share according to the loss of money, if you still want 20%, it will become me 40%, if the company grows bigger, what do you want to take away from me?" ”

"Qin Zhong?" Chu Yiming's eyes lit up, "Is it him?" ”

Then he sighed, "The entertainment industry is really a sweet and sweet spot, I know he is interested in this circle, but I didn't expect to go into battle by himself this time." ”

"So, you're saying that if I want 20 percent, I'm going to have to talk to him?"

Lin Xiao acquiesced.

"Lin Xiao, you have to think about it, I know your income, it is more than two million now, and you have bought a house and a car, if you want to eat Huaxia, you must sell it, and it would be good to sell it at the original price. So where does the company's operating capital come from? What capital do you have to invest in production? ”

"If you promise me, I just need to recover the company's original funds, and then discount it from the share." Chu Yiming smiled, "The most important thing is that you can get my help." ”

"Even, at the time of the first investment, I can join in my own name and help you."

Lin Xiao hesitated, the first part he expected was that there were no thieves in the world. The recycling process of the film is long, and during the entire company's operation, all kinds of expenses have to be earned by him.

In the same way, the process of recovering funds is long, and his other half of his salary can only be obtained after the filming is completed.

Once the funds are disconnected, what awaits him will be the result of the chicken-and-egg fight.

And if the movie wants to make money, it is not as simple as one sentence says, the specific process, even he is not clear, and he still needs to prepare for the evil when there are no thieves in the world.

"I can't go below 51%!" After thinking for a long time, Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Below 51%, I'd rather slow down." ”

Chu Yiming also fell silent, turning his wine glass and not speaking. It was also a long time before he said, "Tomorrow, I will invite Qin Zhong to come over, and the three of us will have a good talk." ”

Lin Xiao nodded, after he ate Huaxia, it would be a brand new company, and he had to dominate. However, personnel, operation, is obviously not his forte.

Sooner or later, these will be talked about at length.

After eating, Chu Yiming immediately called Qin Zhong, and that night, Qin Zhong arrived.

After a battle of words, the result was obvious, Qin Zhong and Lin Xiao were not Chu Yiming's opponents, and in the end, the two simply insisted on not letting go, Qin Zhong must be 40%, and Lin Xiao must be at least 51%. No matter what Chu Yiming said, he didn't hear it.

After grinding for almost an all-nighter, Chu Yiming was helpless.

"You're just rocks in a pit!" In the end, Chu Yiming said angrily, "It's ten times more troublesome than negotiating with the company!" ”

"Mr. Chu, my mouth is dry, you can really say it." Lin Xiao also smiled bitterly, "We are helping you continue your dream, how can you not be considerate?" ”

"Come on, you, over and over again." Chu Yiming said angrily, "Let's not talk about this first, let's talk about the price." ”

At this point, the situation began to change again, Chu Yiming insisted on two and a half million and did not let go, and let the other two say that they didn't hear anything.

"Mr. Wang of Huayi gave me a quote of three million." This is his motto.

The whole situation is like the Three Kingdoms, Chu Yiming is the Wei State, Lin Xiao and Qin Zhong are the Shu and Wu countries.

It was repeated until the sky was bright, and the general framework was set.

2.7 million was transferred to Huaxia, Lin Xiao gave 1.7 million, and Qin Zhong gave 1 million.

Lin Xiao accounted for 51%, Qin Zhong accounted for 35%, and Chu Yiming accounted for 14%.

Selecting films, investing in repertoire, and actors, he is not allowed to participate, but after the two films lose money in a row, Qin Zhong and Chu Yiming will each add 10% of their shares.

It seems that it may be a harsh condition, and losing a penny is also a loss, but Lin Xiao just nodded and agreed, and he didn't care about anything on this issue anymore.

All he wants is this opportunity, this opportunity to break the rules by himself.

He has already made 99 percent of his efforts, just one percent short of a chance, and he believes that this is a new take-off point.

"The new company should have a new name." Looking at the whiteness of the fish's belly, the three of them opened their red eyes, as if they had gone through a fierce battle.

"Let's call it Dawn." Lin Xiao proposed to "break through the dawn of the domestic box office miracle." ”

Chu Yiming pushed his glasses, "Yes, I'll give you the contract in two days." I have to do all this to get back to the company by March, which means that the contract for Dawn must be signed before March. ”
