In order to get Chen Fan to invest, Harrison really went all out this time.
Because he was busy thinking about countermeasures last night, after meeting Chen Fan the next morning, he suddenly realized what a perfect and smart plan it was to invite Chen Fan to join.
First of all, Chen Fan's company has influence in China, and Chen Fan's company has a complete film marketing and promotion plan.
In recent years, China's film market has become more and more prosperous. Even Hollywood has begun to pay more attention to this market.
If we can get Chen Fan to join, we can then hand over the promotion of this film in the domestic market to Chen Fan.
Not only can we save a lot of promotional expenses, but we can also help promote the movie. If the box office is higher, it will be a great event that will bring us both fame and fortune.
Seeing that Chen Fan was still willing to express his opinion, Harrison became a little anxious.
"Chen, think about it carefully. As a boss, do you want to enter Hollywood?"
"With this cooperation, we will be able to have more cooperation in the future. When you need it in the future, I can even introduce you to other companies or big directors in Hollywood..."
"This is a win-win situation for both of us."
Chen Fan finally smiled: "Harry, of course I believe you."
"We hit it off right away when we met last night, like old friends who haven't seen each other for years. So, since you asked, I will definitely give you this favor."
"Yes, I know the investment cost of your film and know the appropriate amount of investment."
So I was worried about this.
Harry was very excited by what Chen Fan said just now. After all, no one likes nice words.
"The estimated initial investment for this film is 200 million US dollars. At present, apart from our own company, other investment partners have not been consulted yet."
“You can invest as much as you want.”
"Chen, you have to know that other companies don't offer this kind of treatment."
Chen Fan smiled and asked, "Harry, how much do you think is appropriate to invest?"
"Well...if possible, can you invest 20 million US dollars?"
Harry pondered for a moment, then tentatively said a number.
This amount of funding was a number he came up with last night after studying Chen Fan's data.
In his opinion, although this amount of funding is large, it should still be within Chen Fan's acceptable range.
But after he finished speaking, Harry himself was still unsure.
After all, 20 million US dollars is equivalent to more than 100 million yuan in funds. He knows that in the Chinese film market, the investment of most films does not reach this figure.
Chen Fan was not speaking, but thinking.
In the past, the investment in this 007 movie was about 200 million, and the box office and reputation after it was released were too good. It can be said that the investment was not recovered and the investment company actually lost money.
But what Chen Fan cares about is not the return on investment.
He was thinking of another kind of reward.
That is to insert Wenwan into the crew.
If Wen Wan can use this big IP movie to open up the international market, or even enter Hollywood to film, then the 20 million US dollars will be well worth it.
Because this means Wen Wan would have saved herself a few years of detours.
By leveraging the advertising effects of Hollywood and big IPs, Wen Wan was sent into the Hollywood market in one fell swoop.
And all this for only $20 million.
A lot?
It’s a good deal, okay?
This deal is simply a steal.
If only Harry was sitting opposite.
Chen Fan almost laughed out loud.
Looking up, Chen Fan saw Harrison looking at him nervously, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Harry, be honest, how much money do you still need to finance this movie?"
Harry didn't expect Chen Fan to ask this, and he smiled bitterly.
"Chen, our company can currently put out 100 million yuan in funding for this movie. For the remaining 100 million yuan, I'm afraid we'll have to ask other companies to invest to share the risk..."
Chen Fan sighed.
"Harry, let me give you a hand since you are in such a difficult situation."
"놖 decided to invest 50 million."
Harry was stunned, then asked in disbelief.
"Fifty million...dollars?"
Chen Fan nodded: "Yes. Fifty million US dollars."
"Oh… God."
Harrison suddenly stood up excitedly.
"That's great, Chen. You are the biggest surprise I've encountered on this trip!"
Chen Fan waved his hands, "Harry, don't get excited yet. I haven't finished what I want to say."
Harry turned around a few times excitedly, then picked up the coffee in front of him and gulped down a few gulps. Then he sat down again and looked at Chen Fan excitedly.
"You say. My friend, if you have any requests, just ask."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "It's not really a request, it's just a small request."
"You can invest. But can you please include an actor from your company in this movie?"
"You know what I mean. Our company also needs to promote the popularity of our actors."
Harry was stunned and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Well... Chen, although you are the CEO, I'm afraid you don't have the right to directly decide on the casting of the male lead in the movie, because this needs to be decided jointly by the company and the director."
"놊놊! Harry, you are wrong."
Chen Fan smiled and waved his hands.
"We don't need a male lead role. We just want a female actress from our company to play such an important role."
"Like the second or third female lead?"
"Is it a male and female role?" Harry was stunned for a moment, then relaxed.
"If that's the case, it would be much simpler."
"You can make the decision now. I can agree to it now, no problem."
As the CEO of MGM, he still has this little permission.
Chen Fan smiled and stretched out his hand.
"Then I wish you a happy marriage."
Harrison laughed and held out his hand.
"It's a good match."
Next, Chen Fan and Harry Sloan exchanged mobile phone numbers and left each other their company and personal contact email addresses.
Harry said that after returning, he would immediately convene a company meeting to announce the good news.
As for Chen Fan, he made a transatlantic call immediately after parting ways with Harrison.
Wen Wan on the other end of the phone was somewhat excited when she received the call from Chen Fan.
"Hello. Why are you calling me suddenly?"
"Busy?"
"No, I just need to rest now."
Chen Fan asked with a smile: "What are you busy with recently?"
"I've been shooting promotional ads for advertisers recently."
"By the way, let me tell you something. I plan to start taking scripts after I finish these few days."
Chen Fan said quickly: "First, hurry up and accept the script. I have good news to share with you."
"what?"
Wenwan asked curiously.
Chen Fan smiled and said, "I got you a big IP movie or TV script."
