In the lobby downstairs, Chen Fan listened silently to Harrison's introduction.
This guy is indeed here to seek cooperation.
Trying hard to suppress his excitement, Chen Fan tried hard to control himself and smile.
It seems that God is on my side this time.
Knowing that you are the one who is looking for the right person and the right person who is looking for you first are two different concepts.
At least, Chen Fan now has more power.
Harry Sloan may naturally expect Chen Fan to invest in MGM. He just hopes that Chen Fan is interested in investing in the next movie that MGM is going to produce.
Chen Fan picked up the coffee in front of him, took a sip, then spoke with a smile.
"To be honest, I am still very interested in the film and television industry."
Chen Fan did not agree directly, but smiled and talked about their common points. Finally, he changed the topic.
"Harry, can I ask what kind of new movie you are planning to invest in?"
Harry Sloan smiled proudly, "Chen, if you like movies, you must have heard of it."
"We are going to shoot a big IP this time. The 007 series."
"007? Bond?"
Chen Fan was stunned, then suddenly realized.
Yes, “007: The Greatest Show” seemed to be released in 2008.
According to the time calculation, this is exactly the stage of preparing for filming and production.
That would be great.
007, James Bond is a world-renowned IP and a classic in the hearts of countless movie fans.
Whether it is the handsome Bond or the beautiful Bond girls, they have become eternal classics in the hearts of movie fans.
Last night, Chen Fan was still thinking about investing in a movie, and it would be great if Wen Wan could join the crew and play a cameo role.
Now it seems that Wenwan's luck is really bad.
Just happened to come across this movie.
Although the movie received very bad reviews online and had high scores on rating websites, it did not affect its sales.
In the UK alone, the box office exceeded 25 million in its first week. After its release in North America, the box office exceeded 70 million in its first week.
It is worth mentioning that this movie was also released in China, with a box office of nearly 10 million in the first week, creating the best performance in the film market at that time.
This is the charm of big productions and big IPs.
If Wen Wan could be allowed to join the group and play a role in it, it would definitely increase her popularity around the world.
It will also be a great help in the subsequent battle in Hollywood.
If Wen Wan could get the role of a Bond girl directly, she would definitely become an overnight sensation and enter the Hollywood market directly.
Chen Fan suppressed his excitement and smiled at Harrison.
"To be honest, I was a little surprised."
"The 007 series is a world-renowned IP, and I am also a big fan of Bond movies."
"I didn't expect you, Harry, would come to me to invest."
Harry Sloan explained with a smile: "I don't know why, ever since I started chatting with you yesterday, I felt that we have a special connection."
"You saved my girlfriend and you're doing me a favor. And we were both in the same business at the time...Oh my God, I think we're so destined to be together."
"I just happened to have such a project, so I wanted to come and ask Chen if you are interested in participating."
Although Harry Sloan said he was relaxed, he was actually very nervous inside.
Because ever since he became the CEO of MGM, he has been overwhelmed by the company's financial crisis every moment.
Since taking office, Harry has actually implemented a series of policies to resolve the debt crisis.
For example, they try to sell the company's library copyright and attract external investment, and they also want to attract third-party capital to merge with other film and television companies...
However, Harry Sloan's series of policies did not pull MGM back from the crisis, but instead made it sink deeper and deeper.
Today's MGM has no innovation and relies entirely on its old IPs such as 007 to survive.
But for a big IP like 007, the production requires a lot of capital costs, and it is completely impossible to do it by relying on one's own company alone.
So, when he was chatting with Chen Fan last night, Harry Sloan was immediately excited when he heard that Chen Fan was also in the film and television industry.
After returning to the hotel room, I immediately called someone to find out some detailed information about Chen Fan.
After reading the information overnight, Harry became even more excited.
First of all, Chen Fan is an ordinary entrepreneur, and he is known as a genius entrepreneur. From the beginning of his business to now, Chen Fan has made almost every move correctly and has never made a mistake.
Its Ruofan Group is involved in a wide range of industries, whether it is real estate, the Internet, or the entertainment industry... It is a real giant.
Data shows that although Ruofan Group has not yet been listed, its valuation has exceeded 200 billion.
Chen Fan's personal net worth has long exceeded 10 billion, making it onto the list of the nation's richest people.
Of course, what made Harry even happier was that Chen Fan owned a large entertainment company, which had produced several box office hits.
It is simply perfect to cooperate with such a wealthy and powerful boss who understands the film and television industry.
After reading the information, Harry Sloan was so excited that he hardly slept all night.
He has been thinking about how to tell Chen Fan today and what he should use to attract Chen Fan's interest and eventually invest in his own movie.
Faced with the invitation, Chen Fan was excited, but he knew that the more excited he was, the more calm he had to appear. Only by being calm could he firmly grasp the negotiation words throughout the year.
And it will definitely make this foreigner realize that he is eager to invest in the movie.
Therefore, Chen Fan did not reply directly, but pretended to think deeply about it, and finally sighed.
"Harry, to be honest, I personally really want to help you."
"Besides, I am willing to invest just because I am a fan of James Bond."
"It's just... my company is the same as yours. You guys make movies with big investments and big productions, but our company doesn't get that much money..."
Harrison quickly said, "Chen, you must not misunderstand me."
"I don't want you to invest all your money, I just want you to invest part of it."
"Such a large-scale movie will inevitably invite other film production companies to invest. You are also a good person, and you should understand that the investment in a movie must involve multiple investment companies to share the cost and risk."
"You can invest less money if you want, that's fine."
As if afraid that Chen Fan would refuse, Harry was quite considerate and established a relationship with Chen Fan.
"In fact, our company has a long history with you Chinese people."
"A few years ago, our company had a big-budget, big-production war movie, and we hired a famous director from your country to shoot it."
Chen Fan was stunned at first, then suddenly reacted.
Shit. You must be talking about Windtalkers, right?
The film that John Wu was hired to star in was a failure, and MGM was almost bankrupt.
