Chapter 511 I Didn’t Say Hua Yuan
After staying on a certain female second-generation with a relatively good appearance for a second longer, Zhou Anan talked about her own project: "We at Blue Whale Entertainment are planning to invest in a science fiction film, with an estimated investment of 200 million yuan. It will be released simultaneously around the world, and the box office is expected to be 1 billion yuan."
Since she has to compete with these second-generations, Zhou Anan naturally has to show off her best to impress everyone.
The most important thing is that deep down in his heart he has an urge to revitalize Chinese films.
Why is it that foreign blockbusters can conquer China, but there are no domestic films that can reap box office success abroad?
Now that he has been reborn and is in control of an entertainment company, he must change this situation.
Zhou Anan will not miss such a good opportunity for the second generation to contribute to the revitalization of Chinese films. Anyway, their Blue Whale Entertainment will mainly acquire Marvel's shares in the future and will not have the spare energy to create science fiction blockbusters.
"Blue Whale Entertainment?"
When they heard the other party mention the company, everyone present looked over with a little surprise, and He Wuqiu's eyes also had a bit more surprise.
No wonder the other party would travel with the two young ladies. It turns out that he is a shareholder of Blue Whale Entertainment.
Moreover, judging by the other party's matter-of-fact attitude, his shares in Blue Whale Entertainment must be quite large.
As for other people, they have naturally heard about the rapid rise of Blue Whale Entertainment in the past two years. Many people also want to board this rapidly expanding ship, but they are troubled by the lack of tickets.
Now that they had such a good opportunity, everyone looked at each other and felt inexplicably excited.
However, the 200 million project mentioned by the other party sounds a bit unreliable.
Currently in China, except for a few big directors, no director can manage large projects with investments of hundreds of millions. Even if the projects are implemented, most of them are loss-making.
However, Blue Whale Entertainment is now wealthy and can afford the losses, but it is inevitable that it will suffer losses.
But if these people invest in it and lose money, well, they won’t lose much.
"I don't know, what stage has this project reached?"
As an evaluation step for exchanging chips, a second-generation female student who was not very good-looking asked.
"Everything is being planned in secret. As for the strength of our Blue Whale Entertainment, I think everyone can see that the profit prospects of this project are quite good. We are currently applying for a loan from the relevant banks."
To give a half-truthful explanation, Zhou Anan wasn't really trying to cheat them.
He couldn't say that this was a spur-of-the-moment idea, that there was no script, director, or actors, and that everything was still fictional in his mind.
Furthermore, he has quite a few science fiction blockbusters in his mind, and each one has had impressive box office. However, after being produced by China, it remains to be seen whether they can achieve the same success as in the previous life.
This is also the reason why Zhou Anan has not started the investment plan for science fiction blockbusters. If a science fiction blockbuster loses money, the loss is not just hundreds of millions or tens of millions.
Anyway, the money of these second-generations will eventually be squandered, so it would be more meaningful for him to use it to support the rise of Chinese films.
"I need to find someone to verify this, is that okay?"
Another handsome young man in a white short-sleeved shirt said with a smile.
Coincidentally, he knew Mr. Feng from Blue Whale Entertainment.
"no problem."
Zhou Anan crossed her hands and smiled indifferently after sending a text message.
At this time, the young girl sitting next to him obediently took the tea brought by the waiter and placed it in front of him.
Picking up the tea and taking a sip, Zhou Anan smiled and looked at the young girl, waiting for the others to call to verify.
"Hello."
"Hello, Mr. Feng."
Feng Jiming was a little surprised to receive a call from a number he was not familiar with. He asked, "This project has just been approved by our board of directors. How did you know about this?"
“That’s right.”
After briefly explaining the situation introduced by Zhou Anan, the handsome young man who contacted him did not tell him the agreement everyone had made at the gambling table.
After all, it’s best if their gambling isn’t known to outsiders.
It would be better to make it public after the gambling is over and the matter has been settled.
"learn."
"Mr. Feng, could you please tell me how much your investment in this project is?"
After confirming Zhou Anan's identity without leaving any trace, the handsome young man asked casually.
We can't trust all of Mr. Zhou's empty words.
"About $200 million. We have just negotiated a loan with the bank. Whether we will get more money later is still undecided."
Since it was the request of the major shareholder, Feng Jiming naturally had to cooperate with the performance and perform well.
Anyway, he signed a confidentiality agreement for the huge loan from the bank this time, and his peers would find out sooner or later, so this was a good opportunity to cover it up.
As for the development of Blue Whale Entertainment, Feng Jiming has always felt that it could take bigger steps.
Although he thought that the acquisition of Marvel by the major shareholder was a bit too big a step, he was happy that it didn't get him into trouble.
If possible, it is not impossible to invest a few hundred million Chinese yuan to make a landmark science fiction film for China.
Losing money?
There is no such thing as losing money when the majority shareholder decides something.
Even if there is a small loss, it will be worth it as it can make Blue Whale Entertainment famous.
Haven’t you seen their company’s variety shows earn hundreds of millions? And that’s their annual revenue. They can afford to lose such a large amount of money.
“.”
I originally thought that the 200 million investment Zhou Anan mentioned earlier was exaggerated enough, but I didn't expect that the person in charge of Blue Whale Entertainment would tell me the "real" investment amount, which was as high as 200 million US dollars, a full 1.5 billion Chinese yuan.
So far, the highest investment in Chinese domestic films is only 250 million yuan by a certain director Zhang many years ago, but now Blue Whale Entertainment is spending more than 1.5 billion yuan to produce a movie!!!
With such a big investment, isn’t Blue Whale Entertainment afraid of bankruptcy after the failure of this project?
The cell phone speaker was on. When everyone was astonished at the huge investment, Zhou Anan, the instigator, drank tea calmly on the surface, but in his heart he started to curse at General Manager Feng.
Is it appropriate to exaggerate like this? He only said 200 million Chinese yuan, but when it came to General Manager Feng's mouth, it directly became 200 million US dollars.
The cows were blown into space.
Fortunately, he didn't mention his unit just now, and Feng Jiming didn't specify the amount in his words, so the lie could be covered up.
While others were amazed, Jiang Mi Ning, who was sitting next to Zhou An An, had her beautiful eyes sparkling, and she couldn't wait to chat privately about the future with this second-generation person she met by chance.
"Any questions?"
Hearing the silence from the other side, Feng Jiming, who didn't think he had exaggerated at all, asked a question.
Foreign blockbusters often cost hundreds of millions of dollars to produce, so why is it not the case in their country?
When they bought Marvel's shares, the first project was a movie project worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and he only made some minor modifications.
"No more, sorry to bother you, Mr. Feng. Let's have tea together when we are free."
"Okay, you told me last time."
When General Manager Feng said this, the handsome young man who was in charge of the call quickly cut off the loudspeaker, picked up the phone, said a few words and hung up.
Afterwards, several participants who were verifying their chips exchanged a few words, and the second-generation female with a low appearance asked, "How many chips does Mr. Zhou want to exchange?"
"About 100 million."
Raising a finger, Zhou Anan said a number in a low-key manner.
Looking at the number of chips in front of the participants, Zhou Anan felt that this amount was enough to overwhelm anyone present.
When playing Poker, all you need is momentum.
You can lose money, but you can't lose your momentum.
"Dollar?"
After hearing the other party's request, the second-generation female with low appearance asked with a little hesitation.
The chips of all the people present combined were less than 200 million Chinese Yuan, and the other party directly took out 100 million US dollars. How could they play the game?
