After leaving the crew of "Passing by Your World", Chen Zhibin and Bai Lily soon parted ways, and the other party was going to shoot the domestic suspense movie "Kidnapper" directed by Xu Jinglei.

For this movie, Chen Zhibin still learned from Bai Lily's mouth that he was not very impressed in his previous life, and he could even say that he didn't, presumably the box office of the movie should not be too high, so he was not interested.

As for "Monster Hunt 2", which Bai Lily continued to star in later, although the box office is quite high, the reputation of fans is even worse than the first one, even if actor Liang Chaowei joins, it can't change the fact that this is a bad movie.

Movies can be invested, and there is definitely no need to star!

In addition, the response of the male protagonist Song Tianyin played by Jing Boran is still very good, although Chen Zhibin is more handsome than him, there is no need to be blackened by this bad movie, after all, everyone should say that it was because of the change of the male lead.

Therefore, Chen Zhibin directly did not consider this movie, not to mention Bai Lily's other works, in comparison, he still felt that "Wolf Warrior 2" directed by Wu Jing was more fragrant, after all, this is a milestone in the box office of domestic films, even if it is exceeded later, it still cannot negate his influence.

As early as last year, Chen Zhibin set his sights on this project, when "Wolf Warrior 1" had just been released.

The estimated investment of the film at the beginning was about 80 million yuan, but later it exceeded nearly half of the funds, with a total investment of about 150 million yuan, but unfortunately the final box office was only more than 500 million.

Although it can't be said that I lost money, I really didn't make much money.

Regarding Wu Jing's continued investment in the preparation of "Wolf Warrior 2", many investors have a wait-and-see attitude from the bottom of their hearts.

After all, military films at that time were not particularly prosperous, and the box office was at that high level at best.

Unlike the later "Red Sea Operation", "Eight Hundred", "Changjin Lake" and other military-themed film works, which are full of flowers.

It's not that I can't believe Wu Jing, the key is that the current film market is like this, the more money invested in military films, the slimmer the chance of recovering the cost.

However, this just gave Chen Zhibin an opportunity, and the Abin Venture Capital Company under his name originally started as a venture capitalist, and has basically been involved in most industries, so he will naturally not let go of such a good investment opportunity.

Not to mention that this can allow Chen Zhibin to have part of the right to speak in the crew, just the return rate that has multiplied more than ten times is attractive enough.

The initial estimated investment of "Wolf Warrior 2" is about 100 million, and Chen Zhibin directly took out 30 million yuan to join in, which is already a large amount among more than a dozen investors, after all, they collectively share the remaining 70 million yuan, and there is Wu Jing's own share.

Although with Chen Zhibin's foresight, he can invest in a higher share, but after being mixed in the domestic investment circle for so long, he still knows that there are some interests that cannot be swallowed by himself, and he must learn to share.

People who only think about eating alone may eat all at once and make a lot of money, but they can't go long in the circle.

Among these investors, Chen Zhibin still knows several of them, such as Wang Tearing Onion, the son of the richest man, the other party is Wanda's son-in-law, which is also the investment party that Wu Jing finally won over, after all, if he has his funds to join in, there will definitely be no problem with the early scheduling rate of Wanda Cinema.

Not to mention what is special, at least it will not be hindered.

In addition, there is also Gao Molin, who played Xia Xue, Xia Yu, and Liu Xing's father Xia Donghai in "Family with Children", and the other party has also made great achievements in the investment industry in recent years, such as "Wolf Warrior 2" and "In the Name of the People".

In his previous life, when he invested in "In the Name of the People", Gao Mulin himself accounted for 40% of the shares.

As the largest investor and a sensitive anti-corruption subject, he was so nervous that he didn't dare to go to bed for ten days and half a month, for fear of being kicked down by his wife.

Fortunately, with the broadcast of the show, the ratings have been rising, and it has even become a popular national drama, and Gao Mulin and several other investors finally put their minds at ease.

In that drama, Chen Zhibin's venture capital company also participated, but the proportion of investment was very small, less than one-third of "Wolf Warrior 2".

Of course, the current investment share of "Wolf Warrior 2" is not the final proportion, because as long as anyone who has participated in the investment of "Wolf Warrior 1" basically knows that the investment funds in the second part will definitely not stop there.

If nothing else, after the official start of filming, this amount will continue to increase, and how much it will increase depends on how Wu Jing tosses.

After the filming of some film and television dramas, it is expected that there may be a surplus of investment, and then it will be returned to the investor, but this is completely non-existent in Wu Jing, and it would be good not to continue to add more, which was the case when "Wolf Teeth" was filmed.

Thinking that a "Wolf Tooth" lost tens of millions of dollars, this was the most speechless loss for the producer, and it was also the most enjoyable time for Wu Jing in the film.

Next door, "Ip Man" hit ten at a time, and Wu Jing hit one hundred at a time.

This is Wu Jing's directorial debut, but it almost became the end of his directorial career, from 2008 to 2015, it took a full eight years before Wu Jing had the opportunity to find someone to invest in his second film again, which is enough to prove how badly the previous film made the producer.

A movie is notorious, a movie is unsatisfactory, a movie counterattacks and overturns, and since then he has started a film life like an open-hanging mode, Wu Jing can be regarded as a person who has completely experienced ups and downs in the director and actor industry.

But now that there is Chen Zhibin, no matter how much Wu Jing tosses, he will definitely choose to continue to add, after all, the money invested now, when the movie is released in theaters, will be directly returned to him by more than ten or twenty times, plus the income from other aspects is not an exaggeration to say that it is dozens of times.

Reluctant to let the child catch the wolf, Chen Zhibin can have his current achievements, naturally he will not care about this money anymore, otherwise even if he has the ability to be a prophet, he can only watch others eat meat, and he can only drink soup silently next to him.

With the wealthy joining of Abin Venture Capital Company, the role of Zhuo Yifan in "Wolf Warrior 2" fell to Chen Zhibin without accident.

Of course, at the beginning, Wu Jing still considered Wang tearing onions, because Chen Zhibin at that time had only starred in one "Heartless Mage" Zhang Xianzong, although he was really handsome, but he was indeed a newcomer who had just debuted in terms of fame.

In addition, Chen Zhibin is the boss of Abin Venture Capital Company, and he did not take the initiative to bring capital into the group, so he must also consider it.

After being rejected by Principal Wang, Wu Jing immediately found a small fresh meat that was on fire at that time, and when he was asked for a huge salary, he also called Chen Zhibin to discuss it to see what he thought.

If the investor agrees to make additional investments for traffic stars, he is not out of the question, after all, it is all to better ensure the box office of the movie.

The flow is small and the fresh meat and the wonderful plot are double insurance.

In this regard, Chen Zhibin naturally disagreed, even if he continued to invest additional money, it was definitely not to invite Xiao Xianrou.

What's more, this is a role that belongs to him, and the reason why he didn't say it at first was completely because he wanted to see Wu Jing's disappointed appearance after running around.

When the time comes, he will stand up and recommend himself, and the meaning will definitely be different, after all, the former is just the icing on the cake, and the latter is the charcoal in the snow.

At that time, in the face of Wu Jing's temptation and inquiry, Chen Zhibin sternly refused: "Impossible, I have spare money, but there is nothing wrong with it, it is better to spend so much money to invite a small flow of fresh meat to help, it is better to use it in the shooting of the Eight Classics, at least the quality of the film can be seen by everyone." ”

"It's worthy of Boss Chen, and he really saw it!" Wu responded with a smile: "The hero sees the same thing, I think so too!" ”

The story is still developing according to the original trajectory, and just when Wu was at a loss, Zhang Han, who had been looking for an opportunity to transform, took the initiative to send it to the door.

However, this time there is Chen Zhibin, an investor, even if the other party takes the initiative to reduce his salary, Wu Jing will not retreat to choose him.

As a result, the confident Zhang Han was rejected, which was the first setback on his road to the exercise, but it should not be the last.

Chen Zhibin felt that Zhang Han should thank himself, after all, he went to the oil for him very well!

At that time, "Charlotte's Troubles" was released and became a dark horse in the 2016 National Day file, Chen Zhibin became popular with the role of Yuan Hua, and Wu Jingdang took the initiative to invite him even if he no longer hesitated.
