The truth is, the truth is that the truth is not yet known.

Jin Xingxian didn't expect Lin Ming to be so direct.

He knew that Lin Ming was interested in his movie, but at least he had to ask about the details, right?

For a moment, Jin Xingxian even felt that Lin Ming was setting a trap for him.

"We just met, and you want to invest in me. Aren't you afraid of losing money?" Jin Xingxian asked.

"No."

Lin Ming smiled faintly: "I won't lose anything I invest in!"

Jin Xingxian thought that he was young, but he was good at bragging.

Looking at the top investors in the world, who dares to say that they have never failed?

Not to mention once, there have been a hundred times!

All myths are accumulated in the lessons of failure again and again!

"Then what is the purpose of your investment?" Jin Xingxian asked again.

"Didn't I just say it? To make money!" Lin Ming shrugged.

"For a niche movie like mine, the theater screening rate will not be too high, or even very low!"

Jin Xingxian thought for a while and said, "You are a businessman. Maybe you don't understand these things in the entertainment industry, but I can't lie to you against my conscience. I must tell you that even if this movie in my hand is really released, it may not even recover the cost, let alone make money."

"If I say it can make money, it will definitely make money." Lin Ming was confident.

"You..."

Jin Xingxian gritted his teeth and also felt a little unconvinced.

"If you insist on investing, then of course I'm happy to do so. What I lack now is money."

"I already have a rough idea of ​​the cast list for this movie. Although we won't invite those top stars, we will need a lot of extras."

"If you insist on giving me a number, it's probably..."

Jin Xingxian looked at Lin Ming and said cautiously, "Around 60 million."

"60 million?" Lin Ming raised his eyebrows.

He predicted how amazing the box office of Cat God would be in the future, but he didn't expect the cost to be so low!

With a cost of 60 million, it created a global box office myth of nearly 9 billion?

This is too much!

Jin Xingxian saw that Lin Ming didn't say anything and thought that Lin Ming thought it was too high.

Jin Xingxian had asked for investment countless times in such a long time, and this was the first time someone agreed to it.

To be honest, Jin Xingxian was also hesitating in his heart, fearing that Lin Ming would refuse.

"Boss Lin, this...if you think it's too high, I can try to reduce the cost as much as possible. 55 million is fine." Jin Xingxian said.

Seeing Lin Ming looking at him with a smile, Jin Xingxian hardened his heart again.

"Otherwise, 50 million is fine!"

Lin Ming thought Jin Xingxian's nervous look was very funny.

It was a huge contrast to his previous indifference.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Lin Ming knocked on the table: "I'll give you 100 million. You don't need to change the plot and actors because of this. Just optimize the parts that need to be optimized."

"What?!"

Jin Xingxian stood up suddenly: "100 million? Are you kidding?"

"Do you think I'm kidding you?" Lin Ming said.

Jin Xingxian was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

In fact, if the cost is reduced to 50 million, he can still shoot according to the current plot, but he himself can't guarantee how the effect will be on the big screen.

The previous asking price of 60 million was based on his ability to guarantee the film's effects in all aspects.

But Lin Ming never expected that he would ask for 100 million yuan!

Directly increased his budget by 40 million!

For Jin Xingxian, this is no longer a matter of optimization or not, but the ability to make the film reach the ideal, most perfect level!

"I don't understand why you are so confident in my movie, you haven't even read the script!" Jin Xingxian gulped down his coffee.

"Because I believe you are a talented person, and I am your mentor."

Lin Ming felt that he was so awesome when he said this.

More than a month ago, if he said this to anyone, he might be slapped away.

But now, he has the absolute ability to pretend to be so awesome!

"When are we going to sign the contract?" Jin Xingxian asked anxiously.

"Before signing the contract, let's talk about the profit distribution of this movie." Lin Ming said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Xingxian waved his hand.

"Boss Lin, maybe I should say the following

, you will think I am a fool, but I still want to say it. ”

Jin Xingxian said: "I started shooting this movie two years ago, and I have tried to find all kinds of people to act, but in the end I was defeated by reality. ”

"It's like my child. Although I have great expectations for it, I don't think about how much money I can make from it."

"Talking about dreams is a bit vulgar, but making a complete movie, from recording to editing, and then entering the public eye, this is really something I want to do at all costs."

"You invested in this movie, maybe you really want to make money, but I made this movie just to fulfill my dream of being a director."

"In a way, you are equivalent to helping me realize my dream, and the price of realizing the dream is most likely to be a loss of money."

"In this case, I really can't talk to you about the distribution of benefits."

"I can only say that if this movie really makes money, then you should leave me some so that I can have the opportunity to make the next movie. "

The last few words really made Lin Ming laugh.

He stared at Jin Xingxian for a while, and seeing that this guy looked sincere, he couldn't help but patted his shoulder.

"I think you will regret what you said today."

Jin Xingxian leaned back: "This is also my sincerity. If you bet right, then we will talk about the distribution of benefits in the next movie."

He has already said so, what else can Lin Ming say?

Anyway, he will definitely not let Jin Xingxian suffer.

Next, the two of them printed out a contract temporarily.

Lin Ming took a rough look and found that almost all of them were biased towards the producer, that is, his side.

This was not what Lin Ming meant, but the rules drawn by Jin Xingxian himself.

It seems that his appearance really gave Jin Xingxian a big surprise.

"When will Cat God be released?" Lin Ming asked knowingly.

Jin Xingxian looked puzzled: "How do you know that I plan to name this movie "Cat God"? "

Lin Ming was shocked.

He let it slip!

At this time, Jin Xingxian hadn't named the movie yet.

"Ahem..."

Lin Ming coughed lightly: "Do you really think that I will throw 100 million at you without any preparation? I have considered various factors and think that the most appropriate name for this movie is 'Cat God'."

"Confidant! Mr. Lin is really my confidant!"

Jin Xingxian was a little excited. His mind was full of the 100 million, and he didn't think much about it.

"I have almost finished the early stage shooting. With the capital injection from Mr. Lin, I can find those actors to record, and then edit, optimize, and match the music."

Jin Xingxian thought for a while, and then said: "Cat God will be released probably during the Spring Festival! "

Lin Ming was waiting for this sentence.

He smiled and was about to say something.

But at this moment, Jin Xingxian's phone suddenly rang.

Looking at the name on the caller ID, Jin Xingxian frowned.

After he answered the call, the other party first said: "Director Jin, if you can control the funds within 30 million, then we can consider investing in your movie."

"30 million?"

Jin Xingxian glanced at Lin Ming, his mouth slightly raised, revealing unprecedented pride.

"Sorry, someone just invested 100 million in me."

Without waiting for the other party to speak, Jin Xingxian said again: "Although I don't know why you suddenly changed your mind, I still thank your company for saying that my work was useless at the beginning, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get this 100 million investment."

"Here, I, Jin Xingxian, wish your company every year and every year."

"If there is nothing else, then...bye! "

Looking at Jin Xingxian hanging up the phone with his hands dancing.

Lin Ming smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't transferred the money to you yet, aren't you afraid of missing this opportunity?"

"To borrow Mr. Lin's words - I believe that you are my mentor." Jin Xingxian said seriously.

Lin Ming shook his head secretly.

He was actually glad in his heart.

If he hadn't come earlier, Jin Xingxian would probably agree to the other party.

That is to say...

Excluding Jin Xingxian's own investment in the early stage, the future record-breaking box office myth is not the 60 million cost he thought.

But 30 million!
