Three hundred million dollars, converted to about two billion yuan.


    If all this money is invested in the production of a film, if you want to rely on the box office, at least it will not lose money. At least, the domestic box office must have a scale of 4.5 billion.


    Because of domestic films, there is almost no overseas box office revenue.


    Compared with the revenue of domestic box office, the so-called overseas box office can be completely ignored.


    There are clear-cut differences between eastern and Western Aesthetics in some specific fields, so the cost investment of domestic films will never take overseas benefits into account.


    If so, it''s colored eggs. If not, it is normal.


    It is a rather difficult process to get back through the domestic box office.


    The total box office income of a film should be rid of taxes, film special funds, cinema share and distribution expenses.


    Under normal circumstances, the final return to the box office revenue of the film producer only accounts for about 33% of the total box office revenue.


    This income minus the cost is the final profit of the whole film.


    Zhang Dongjie is the most powerful director in the film industry. Therefore, in film distribution, he also has a voice that other directors or producers do not have.


    The corresponding film collection proportion can be several percentage points higher than the normal collection proportion.


    But even so, even with the follow-up copyright operation, peripheral extension, various subsidies and business cooperation income, if you want to invest 2 billion yuan without losing money, the domestic box office should at least reach more than 4.5 billion!


    What is the concept of 4.5 billion?


    At present, there are only two films with a box office of more than 4.5 billion on the list of domestic film history.


    It''s all about hot men.


    Therefore, the investment of US $300 million in domestic films is enough to shock the eyes of all filmmakers.


    Any filmmaker with normal intelligence would not agree to invest such a large amount of money in a film.


    This is no longer a problem of too much risk. It is a pure act of suicide.


    It is conceivable how shocked Zhang Dongjie was to hear that Jiang Fan not only agreed to his investment request, but also added more investment to himself.


    "150 million US dollars, brother Zhang, I can give you an additional investment of 150 million US dollars. Of course, I also need to enjoy 50% of the relevant film revenue."


    Jiang Fan repeated it and said with a smile.


    Zhang Dongjie stared at Jiang Fan. After staying for a moment, he swallowed his saliva. An excited expression appeared on his face and said: "Of course, there is no problem in terms of income. Although the original investors are very unhappy, there are clear provisions in the contract, so they must also act according to the contract. However, Xiao Fan... 150 million US dollars... Is it too risky?"


    I don''t blame Zhang Dongjie''s reaction. After all, it was $300 million.


    Even as a world-class director, his wealth has not reached that level over the years.


    "Brother Zhang, there is no essential difference between $100 million and $150 million. You say that $150 million is a big risk, isn''t it small? Don''t worry. I promised to invest this money for you. I didn''t expect the film to make money, but there is only one requirement, that is, the film should be made as best as possible without any defects."


    Jiang Fan said with a smile.


    Zhang Dongjie opened his mouth and his heart was filled with moving emotions.


    Strictly speaking, he and Jiang Fan have only known each other for a month. Although they feel like-minded and appreciate Jiang Fan''s ability, in the real sense, they can only be regarded as ordinary friends.


    But it was such a relationship. Facing his investment request, Jiang Fan agreed without much consideration.


    And on the basis of the funds he needs, it has risen by 50%!


    I know what such investment means.


    Also know that in general, this kind of investment is almost impossible to recover the cost, but Jiang Fan still made such a choice.


    This is absolute trust in him!


    Zhang Dongjie is a little excited. He has secretly made up his mind. Anyway, he must make this film to his highest level!


    Never let Jiang Fan down!


    After taking a deep breath, Zhang Dongjie reluctantly suppressed his mood and said seriously, "Xiao Fan, I won''t say anything superfluous. This film will not disappoint you!"


    "Of course, I absolutely believe that. Otherwise, how can I promise such an investment? 150 million US dollars is not a small number for anyone."


    Jiang Fan said with a smile.


    "OK, I''ll go back and ask the legal department to prepare the contract. If you have any additional requirements, you can tell me now“


    Zhang Dongjie said energetically.


    "There are no extra requirements. The film is the embodiment of the director''s will, and the actors just play in the framework of the director. So what height can the film reach? It''s always brother Zhang''s play. You don''t have to care too much about my idea. This is your film. Just do it in the direction you want most."


    Jiang Fan said.


    Zhang Dongjie exhaled, nodded hard, and turned away from Jiang Fan''s room.


    A scholar dies for a confidant. Although this sentence is not appropriate or appropriate here, Zhang Dongjie does have such a feeling!


    As Zhang Dongjie left, Jiang Fan took out his mobile phone and dialed Jian Jiayi''s number.


    As soon as the phone was connected, Jiang Fan said bluntly, "I need $150 million. If I take out this money from the company''s account, will it have any impact?"


    "150 million dollars? What are you going to do“


    "Invest in movies."


    Jiang Fan said, telling Jian Jiayi about the current situation of the film, the difficulties faced by Zhang Dongjie and his own ideas.


    The other end of the mobile phone fell into silence. After a while, Jane Jiayi said, "your idea is right. If you can further enhance your influence through this film, the investment will not lose. As for whether the film itself is profitable, it is not very important."


    "If the film is really as good as you said, or even good enough to compete for the Oscar, we can continue to add investment in the future. Once you can get the best supporting actor at the Oscar and the trend you caused in the sprint, the superposition of the two phases will certainly play a very wonderful chemical reaction."


    Jian Jiayi agrees with Jiang Fan''s idea very much.


    "Will it put pressure on the company''s funds?"


    "It''s only $150 million. What pressure can there be? I''ll let the company''s legal affairs sign the investment agreement. You don''t have to worry about it."


    "OK."
