Chapter 178
A 500 million big production?
Lin Feng is talking about Chinese coins, right?
Thinking this way, Robert and Jack couldn’t help but look at each other.
They all read the disbelief in each other’s eyes.
Immediately, Jack couldn’t help but look at Lin Feng cautiously and asked:”Lin, are you talking about Chinese coins or Chinese coins?”……”
Lin Feng said without hesitation:”US dollars.”
Jack was silent.
A production cost of more than 150 million?
And in US dollars?
Even in Hollywood, this is considered a top production cost!
Even Hollywood’s first-line directors may not be able to take over this kind of movie.
Only top directors like Spielberg and Cameron can shoot it whenever they want.
Therefore, Jack and Robert both thought that Lin Feng was joking at this time.
However, after carefully observing Lin Feng’s expression, the two found out!
Lin Feng is very serious!
So, after a little hesitation, Robert also became serious.
He said:”Lin, your idea surprises me.”
“I can’t give you an accurate reply right now”
“Now……”
“I want to ask you, do you have confidence in the new project?
Lin Feng nodded seriously and said,”Of course!””
“If there are no accidents, I will bear at least 30% of the investment.”
Hearing what Lin Feng said, Robert couldn’t help but nodded his head lightly and said,”I understand.”
“I will go back and report this to the Lionsgate board.”
Immediately, Robert and Lin Feng chatted for a while, and then left the hotel where Lin Feng was.
After exiting the hotel door, Robert couldn’t help but stopped, looked at Jack, and said,”Jack, tell me the truth. , what kind of person is Lin.”
Jack pondered for a while and said:”Lin is a person who is extremely serious about movies.”
“During the filming of”John Wick,” Lin almost never left the set”
“Also, Lin doesn’t seem to be interested in anything other than movies.”
“After the success of”John Wick”, he actually received many invitations”
“As far as I know, he has only been to one party, our celebration banquet, so far.”
Hearing this, Robert was silent for a while.
Finally, he nodded lightly and strode towards the parking lot.
Robert decided that he must persuade Lions Gate to invest in Lin Feng’s new movie!
So far, Robert has actually I haven’t seen Lin Feng’s shooting plan yet.
But this is not too important to Robert. After Lin
Feng has proved his ability with”Quick Chase”,
Robert only needed to know whether Lin Feng was worth investing in.
Based on the information he knew and Jack’s evaluation of Lin Feng, Robert had already completed a portrait of Lin Feng in his mind.
“Lin is a very focused and ambitious person.”
“《”John Wick” is not his limit”
“It can even be said that Lin’s decision to film”John Wick” was just a helpless move on his part.”
“The first time he came to Hollywood, he couldn’t directly shoot a big production, so he could only make a name for himself with low-budget movies like”John Wick”.”
“As George said in”New Era Film Weekly”, Lin should film scripts with better storytelling”
“Therefore, Lin should have already made plans for the next project.”
“This plan may even be an ambitious work that he prepared before coming to Hollywood!”
In this case, of course Robert must follow up!
The current Lin Feng is indeed not a top director, not even a first-line director.
But isn’t that what geniuses do?
They can always do surprising things, and they can always achieve the results of ordinary people. Unimaginable success.
I am witnessing the rise of Lin Feng, and I am lucky enough to participate in the first step of his rise.
Next, I can’t miss the second step of rising with the genius.
Just as Robert thought about it, he stopped. As he walked away, Jack caught up with him.
Jack didn’t know what Robert was thinking.
He had his own ideas.
“An investment of more than one and a half billion sounds scary.”
“This is simply not a number that a filmmaker who has just come to Hollywood can control.”
“But I don’t know why, I always have a feeling that Lin can succeed!”
“I want to do it with Lin!”
“Even if Lionsgate ultimately disagrees!”
Jack seemed extremely serious and determined.
Jack knew very well that if this project failed, he might lose everything.
In fact, his situation would be even worse than before he met Lin Feng.
But he just wanted to follow Lin Feng.!
He wants to fight again!
Not to mention, when a person who escapes is serious, he is really serious, and he really dares to risk everything!
Robert looked at Jack quietly for a while, then nodded slightly and said :”I’ll go back to Lions Gate first if I wait for news.”
Immediately, Robert returned to Lions Gate and told Lin Feng his shooting idea.
Almost all the Lions Gate board of directors had a negative attitude.
“Lin is indeed very good, but he is not good enough to control a production worth more than 100 million yuan.”
“How long has it been since Lionsgate has undertaken such a large project?”
“If it fails this time, our Lions Gate stock market, which has just recovered, will collapse in an instant.”
“You can gamble, but I don’t agree with putting all your chips on a Chinese.”
Obviously the Lions Gate board of directors still didn’t trust Lin Feng enough.
Robert didn’t give up.
He analyzed Lin Feng’s advantages in front of the board of directors.
In the end, Robert even put his own career on the line!
Robert is indeed a courageous person.
In other words, Robert knows that if he fails to complete a big project and bring enough benefits to Lions Gate, he will never be able to sit on the board of directors.
He is not young anymore! He wants to make progress!
And now is one of the best opportunities in his life!
However, even though Robert has been so”committed”, the board of directors still does not make an immediate decision. After all , this business is too big.
Lin Feng’s filming plan then demonstrates the feasibility of this project.
This is normal.
How can any company just grit their teeth and clap their hands and directly decide to make a movie?
……
Lin Feng didn’t know that Robert had staked his career to promote his project.
At this time, he was on the phone with Han Sanping.
Since Lin Feng came to Hollywood, Han Sanping has always cared about Lin Feng.
I get a call from time to time.
This time Han Sanping called to ask about Lin Feng’s next arrangements and plans.
Lin Feng didn’t hide anything and directly told him that he was preparing for a new movie.
When he learned that Lin Feng’s next movie cost more than 1.5 billion, Han Sanping was a little shocked.
Han Sanping has been working on large-scale Chinese films in recent years.
But his so-called big production is only one or two billion Chinese coins!
Lin Feng was suddenly over the top!
