Chapter 129 Five hundred million, is it enough?

Lin Shaotian fought this turnaround extremely beautifully!

Not only did he use the video to clear up his grievances, but he also used Chen Kaige's hand to make Director Chen's face rubbed on the ground!

The people who once ridiculed Hua Xiaoyi's stock price limit were also dumbfounded.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, they thought they could make a fortune by selling their stocks and buying them back at the lowest point, but Lin Shaotian didn't give them a chance at all!

The lowest point in the imagination, it ended very quickly, and Hua Xiaoyi's stock rose slowly before they could react.

And Lin Shaotian took advantage of the time when they were selling their stocks, and directly wrapped up all of them.

This move also made Lin Shaotian a major shareholder that no one can match.

At the weekly shareholders' meeting, Lin Shaotian stood out from the crowd and sat at the top. He tapped the table twice with his fingers, "Today's topic of discussion is the upcoming movie <The Wandering Earth>!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room fell into silence.

Lin Shaotian went on to say: "The copyright of the novel has been negotiated, and the movie will start shooting in a month at the latest. I hope that the whole company will actively cooperate at that time, so that some things that I don't want to happen will not happen!"

The other shareholders in the conference room looked at each other, each thinking about their own plans.

The shareholder sitting closest to Lin Shaotian pondered for a while, and said, "Boss Lin...how come we haven't heard of the <Wandering Earth> you mentioned! Which great writer is this masterpiece?"

"Liu Cixin, have you heard of it?"

The crowd shook their heads.

They seldom pay attention to the circle of writers, and they are not interested in various writer awards. Naturally, they have never heard of Liu Cixin.

But since Lin Shaotian proposed this proposal in public, even if they are not interested, they still have to show their support.

"Mr. Lin, we must believe in your vision. Since you mentioned it, let's use it as an S-level for publicity and preparation. What do you think?"

Movies that can be classified as Hua Xiaoyi's S-level will receive the full support of the entire company, whether it is money or materials, it will not be a problem.

This is a great support for Lin Shaotian's first film!

This can be regarded as everyone selling him face, and they have the right to make up for their previous mistakes.

"No need, let's prepare according to the B-grade movie. In terms of funds... I will figure out a way."

Lin Shaotian unexpectedly rejected their S-level proposal, which made everyone confused about what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

This is his first film production!

As the largest shareholder of Hua Xiaoyi, it is not too much to take an S-level plan!

If it is classified as B-level, Hua Xiaoyi can only provide a small amount of support to "The Wandering Earth", and will not help at all.

What's more, the financial support between the two is very different!

B-level can only get a maximum of 500 million activity funds, while S-level can get up to [-] million in financial support!

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether to follow Lin Shaotian's words or just follow his will.

"I will supervise the entire project this time, and I don't want anyone to interfere. That's enough, this matter is settled. Do you have anything else to say?"

Lin Shaotian ended the topic of "The Wandering Earth" before everyone had any other opinions.

Everyone had no choice but to change the subject and mention other matters that needed to be resolved in the company.

After a meeting ended, it was already twelve noon.

In the afternoon, Lin Shaotian was going to discuss with Guo Fan about making a movie, so naturally he would not stay in the company any longer.

He asked Guo Fan to talk about things at the coffee shop near Hua Xiaoyi's headquarters.

At 01:30, Guo Fan opened the door and came in on time, carrying a cloth bag in his hand.

Wearing black-rimmed glasses, he has a handsome face, and with every gesture, he has an aura that belongs only to a scholar, which is in stark difference from the old fritters in the mall.

"Mr. Lin."

Guo Fan reached out his hand to greet Lin Shaotian, and then sat opposite Lin Shaotian.

"This is a novel, read it first, and give me a plan within a week."

Lin Shaotian pushed a thin novel in front of Guo Fan and said.

Guo Fan took it over and glanced at it casually, with strong interest in his eyes, and he said excitedly: "Boss Lin, are you planning to make a science fiction film?"

Lin Shaotian nodded.

Guo Fan rubbed the book cover with his hands, licked his lips with his tongue, and his cheeks were covered with a thin layer of red because of excitement, "Mr. Lin, how much financial support do you plan to give?"

Lin Shaotian stretched out his hand and made a five.

"500?"

Guo Fan gritted his teeth and thought about it, 500 million is really too little...

If it's just an ordinary movie, he is confident that he can keep the cost within 500 million.

But if you want to make a sci-fi film, 500 million is really too little...

"Boss Lin, can the budget be higher? Five million is really... a bit stretched."

Guo Fan was afraid that Lin Shaotian would withdraw the capital because the budget he proposed was too low, so he immediately added: "If you think more than 500 million is too high, that's fine."

He gritted his teeth, as if he had made a lot of determination to say this.

Lin Shaotian couldn't help laughing out loud, "Director Guo, do you think I'm too mean? Do you think I'm so ignorant to shoot a sci-fi movie for 500 million yuan?"

Hearing this, Guo Fan immediately beamed with joy, and he couldn't help raising his voice, "Does President Lin mean that the budget is 5000 million?"

5000 million is good!
If you have Lin Shaotian's 5000 million, you can save a little in every way, that's enough!

"No, five hundred million."

Lin Shaotian's words made Guo Fan's mouth shut in surprise.

"Five hundred million!"

He screamed uncontrollably—fortunately, the place where they stayed was a private room, so it wouldn't affect other people.

"Well, [-] million, you can use this [-] million to make any special effects you want. If domestic companies can't satisfy you, I can pay to find foreign companies. No matter what you want, I will fully support it. You don't have to worry about money and supplies."

Lin Shaotian's words made Guo Fan unable to calm down for a long time.

"Mr. Lin, I take the liberty to ask you, is this what Hua Xiaoyi means, or what you mean?"

Guo Fan has also been in the film industry for many years, so he naturally knows that at the current stage of conversation, everything cannot be decided. Perhaps Lin Shaotian now intends to support him with [-] million.

But when the project actually started, Lin Shaotian had the possibility of withdrawing the capital at any time.

So Guo Fan had to figure out whether it was Hua Xiaoyi's investment or Lin Shaotian's personal investment.

"Half and half, I will pay for the money, and for the rest, I need to rely on Hua Xiaoyi's strength." Lin Shaotian has not yet reached the point where he can bypass Hua Xiaoyi and complete this project alone.
