"Investment? Me?"


    Jiang Fan pointed to himself in amazement. He was not prepared for Zhang Dongjie''s sudden proposal.


    "Yes, you don''t have to worry about the issue of distribution, Xiao Fan. I still have this face. As long as it''s my film, I can get the maximum amount of cinema resources at that time. Now the only problem is capital."


    Zhang Dongjie smiled awkwardly and then said, "you know, this film" the first in the world "is sure to cost 150 million US dollars. In terms of exchange rate, it is already the most expensive film in domestic film history. Therefore, even if it is my name, the investors themselves still hesitate and think the risk is too big."


    "The basic investment of 150 million US dollars, coupled with the inevitable additional publicity expenses in the later stage, almost needs to ensure the domestic box office of the film itself of $3 billion in order not to lose money. But the box office of $3 billion... How difficult? Therefore, it is normal for investors to think that the risk is too great."


    "To tell you the truth, if my face was not big enough, such a large investment would not be possible. So strictly speaking, 150 million US dollars is the limit I can strive for."


    Speaking of this, Zhang Dongjie looked at Jiang Fan, and a helpless expression appeared on his face.


    Then he said: "originally, according to the initial cost accounting, 150 million US dollars is basically enough. Even if the final special effects investment increases and new funds need to be added, it will not exceed 10 million US dollars in the end. 150 million will be paid, and another 10 million will be paid. If the investor is unwilling, he can only recognize it by holding his nose."


    "Of course, this is the unspoken rule directed by many directors. The budget will be less. During the shooting process, it will be added. Basically, the cost of the final shooting will be a little more than the initial budget, but it will not exceed too much. Therefore, this unspoken rule belongs to the default rule in the circle."


    "But this time... Because Xiao Fan''s performance is so amazing, my ambition for this film has been magnified. If I want to make a real classic, the shooting cost has increased significantly, which is beyond the reasonable scope."


    Zhang Dongjie sighed and continued, "of course, these are my own problems. But if the money is not enough, it will be difficult for the film to continue. There is no way. After a month of running in, you should also understand my work style."


    "Basically, all the money is spent on the blade, not wasted at will. So now I can only find ways to continue to find new investors and attract new investments. I added a supplementary agreement to the terms of the contract for film shooting."


    "If there is a shortage of funds in the process of film shooting and new investors need to be introduced, the new investors can enjoy the same rights and interests that the initial investors can enjoy according to the investment scale, so you don''t have to worry about the income."


    Jiang Fan blinked.


    He knows that Zhang Dongjie''s crew consumes funds very quickly.


    Especially in this month, Zhang Dongjie adjusted his shooting plan several times. In order to constantly adapt to his performance, he kept changing the original shooting plan.


    In fact, every change will cause excessive consumption of funds.


    Because these changes are not included in the original cost accounting.


    But in order to make the film more expressive and the film itself more perfect, Zhang Dongjie made such a decision without any hesitation.


    It''s no exaggeration to say that Zhang Dongjie is indeed a workaholic character. On the set, he has the same tyrannical character.


    Under his control and control, the whole film can still make rapid progress even in such an unexpected situation as Jiang Fan.


    If it weren''t for Zhang Dongjie''s excellent directing ability, Jiang Fan felt that the cost of the crew would even be about one-third higher than now.


    It is because of the recognition of Zhang Dongjie''s ability that the whole crew has always been one-man in this month, and the work efficiency has always been maintained above the ultra-high standard.


    Jiang Fan hasn''t seen even those scenes, but Jiang fan is full of confidence in Zhang Dongjie.


    In this film, as long as it is a lens that Zhang Dongjie thinks is really qualified, it must have reached a perfect level!


    Such films can''t lose money in any way. Even if the cost is very high and the profit points needed are exaggerated.


    So... It doesn''t seem impossible to invest?


    After thinking about it, Jiang Fan said, "brother Zhang, if I invest, how much capital do you think I should invest in order to complete the film?"


    Listening to Jiang Fan''s direct refusal, Zhang Dongjie was relieved and hurriedly said, "I conducted a very detailed cost accounting last night. As for special effects, the results I hope to achieve are higher than the initial requirements, so the investment in special effects will also increase a lot."


    "The final estimate is that the film can be produced with an additional investment of 100 million US dollars. This cost includes the follow-up publicity cost, so the total cost can be controlled within 250 million US dollars."


    $250 million?


    Jiang Fan fell into thinking again.


    Because he joined the crew, Jiang Fan really made up for something in the film industry in this month.


    Naturally, it is clear what the cost of $250 million means.


    There are many big investment films in the world. The most expensive film is even close to US $400 million.


    There are also many examples of large investment in film box office.


    It is not uncommon for the top management of the eight Hollywood film companies to take the blame and resign because of the failure of investment.


    Even the box office crash of a film has directly prompted a film giant company to enter the situation of bankruptcy and reorganization.


    Therefore, large investment in films also means huge risks.


    Hundreds of millions of dollars of investment, once a serious loss, then even the eight major Hollywood levels are difficult to bear.


    Not to mention how exaggerated such an amount would be in China.


    At least the investment record of domestic films is only 150 million US dollars.


    The film was also directed by the top film directors in China, and the cast was luxurious. As a result, the box office was dismal, and the losing investors had the heart to jump out of the building.


    It can be imagined that on this basis, the cost is up to 100 million US dollars, which is a great shock to the original investors of the film No. 1 in the world.


    Will refuse follow-up investment. I hope Zhang Dongjie''s idea of making a film with the current money is normal.


    But for Jiang Fan, whether the film itself makes money or not comes second.


    As long as the film can be truly perfect, it is cost-effective for him to further expand his influence through this film.


    So after thinking for a moment, Jiang Fan said, "director Zhang, I won''t give you an additional 100 million dollars."


    Zhang Dongjie''s face suddenly darkened, but he could also understand Jiang Fan''s idea.


    After all... The risk is too great


    "I will give you $150 million, with an extra $50 million. I hope this film can really reach a perfect level."


    As soon as Jiang Fan''s voice fell, Zhang Dongjie suddenly got up and stared at the boss.


    "How much did you say?!"
