Chapter 764 Joint investment? We disagree!

"Invest 30 million?" Gower said in surprise.

"Yes, if your company has no objection, I will ask Columbia Pictures to sign a contract with you." Lin Yu said..

"Gower, Lin is right, but I didn't expect to bump into the Korean guests invited by Victor. I am not a member of the board of directors of the company, nor is it a manager. Logically, I have no right to interfere in the company's affairs. But as a director, I think everyone in the company also wants to hear my opinions. Although I don't want to say that, I have to tell you that Lin gave me a lot of inspiration in "Terminator 2". I plan to shoot this part. Of course, the funds needed are very small. However, today's events make me feel very dissatisfied. I think that Samsung Group is far away from overseas and our Columbia Pictures in Hollywood must be able to tell you which is more important." James Cameron said.

Lin Yu smiled and said, "A little idea. I am also very happy to be able to get your recognition from Cameron. Cameron, to be honest, I have a premonition that you will be an indispensable shining star in the history of human film, guiding and promoting the future exhibition of film art. And being able to leave my mark on your way forward and leaving capital for me to brag in the future. Maybe in ten years and twenty years, I can proudly announce to all Americans that you are the best director. I also participated in the creation of his scripts back then, which allowed me to be addicted to the big banner.

The people present couldn't help but laugh. Of course they didn't know that these words were Lin Yu's heartfelt words. If it weren't for rebirth, he would probably have to look up to Cameron's light.

"I believe you all know that a good movie has no strong budget and it is not impossible, but it is difficult. Cameron's script is perfectly displayed on the movie screen. It requires a large number of special effects shots, and each special effects shot can be said to be piled up with money. As far as I know, the special effects of "Terminator 2" are made very sketchy because they have no funds. Of course, this sketch is only relative to the best. But Mr. Cameron is that kind of lean

People who seek excellence, so I don’t want a movie that could have become a milestone in the history of film because of insufficient budget. I hope that when the American people watch this movie, they can remember it deeply. Until ten or twenty years later, once someone mentions it, they can still talk about the plot with relish. So here I am, I am willing to invest 30 million US dollars to complete this work destined to be a milestone in the history of world films!”

Lin Yu stood up and looked around the people present and said, "I once said something to Cameron. Now I will say it again and encourage you to share with you all here. I hope to announce the arrival of an era to the film people all over the world through a movie.

As long as you can imagine it, then the movie stunts can be shown!"

Gal and the other two were so excited by Lin Yu's words that they never expected that Lin Yu would be so optimistic about "Terminator 2" and couldn't help but stand up and applaud them all. James Cameron was even more excited to be unable to do so.

"Wait a minute!" Victor's voice came from the door of the conference room.

With the sound, Victor brought Li Yuancheng and Li Zhijun to the conference room with a heavy face.

"President Goll. Why don't I notify me during the vote?" Victor said angrily, "Can I say I am not the vice president of the company? Do you mean I am not the shareholder of the company?"

Gal looked at Victor inexplicably and said, "Victor, what do you mean? We did not make any votes when you are not present!"

Victor, who was full of anger, looked at the other people present in surprise like a basin of cold water. The other two vice presidents of the company also looked at him in a daze. They were just inspired by Lin Yu's words and stood up to applaud him, and did not make any votes at all. Not only did there be no votes, but the topic had not been raised.

Victor was also concerned and confused. As soon as he entered the door, he saw everyone standing and applauding, but the person who received the applause was the Oriental man. The possible liar in his heart, in a hurry, did not think about it carefully. The three of them were only a few steps slower than Gal and the others. During this little time, the two sides did not even have enough time to exchange and understand each other's conditions. How could they vote?

Victor's old face turned red. Why did he make such a low-level mistake?

Goer looked at Li Yuancheng and Li Zhijun behind him. Since everyone had arrived and Lin Yu already knew about their arrival, could he still coax them away? And Samsung Group did not feel any pressure. But people always think that it would be better to have less than more things. Look at James Cameron's appearance. There is a way to sign a contract today. Among the people present, no one knows her ex-husband better than her. If you can't give him a reason to convince him, this person can definitely leave the Emerald with something.

Although he is not an Emerald's Man now.

What's more, Lin Yu also has the right to adapt the movie of Michael Clayton's new work. This is a chance he will definitely win!

Now the company has several movies that have barely guaranteed their capital. In Hollywood, there will be no advancement or retreat. If this continues, perhaps in a short time, Emerald Film Company will completely become a third-rate company. This is something that Goll, who regards the company as his favorite, cannot accept. This is why Goll is against the crowd and must invite James Cameron to direct "Terminator 2" himself. She firmly believes that as long as he gives him enough support, he will definitely make "Terminator 2" break the vicious circle that the sequel is worse than the first episode like "Alien 2", and win a double harvest of reputation and profit for the company.

Without Cameron, Gower doesn't think that among the directors the company can invite, who can be as talented as Cameron and be able to shoot a movie like "Terminator".

"I'm sorry for two Korean guests who have been on the road from afar. Victor did not inform us of your arrival in advance, so he failed to greet them. Here I apologize to you on behalf of Emerald Film Company." Goer signaled Li Yuancheng to sit down. Then he said, "Mr. Lin, the two Mr. Li, to be honest, the negotiations should be carried out separately, but Mr. Lin's time is limited, and Cameron hopes to determine some things as soon as possible, so I can only negotiate between the three parties here at the same time. As the president of the company, it is the first time I have encountered such a situation in so many years. I believe that you all came to the company with great sincerity in investment. But the investment we need is limited after all, or can you accept joint investment?"

Generally speaking, they will naturally not accept co-investment, which may cause a lot of extra troubles whether it is filming a movie or when the profits are settled in the future. However, in this situation today, co-investment may reduce some unnecessary troubles.

"Gower, I don't think there is any need to invest together. Terminator 2 is only less than the promotional fee, and it's useless to give it to me." James Cajiron was the first to shout.

"We don't accept it." Before Lin Yu could speak, Li Zhijun had already expressed his opinion clearly.

Although they have the idea of ​​using this movie to gain some profits, they want to use this movie to expand Samsung Group's influence in the United States. If they can get 30 to 40% of the investment amount, then the plans of Samsung Group's planners can be proposed to the director. If it is only a share of less than one-third of the total investment, then these proposals will inevitably be rejected by both Gal and Lin Yu. In that case, investing in "Terminator 2" will be useless.

Moreover, now that "Terminator 2" has been filmed, there is only promotion left, but sometimes the cost of publicity is not much different than that of shooting. For example, "Terminator", the investment is only a few million, but the promotional fee alone is a huge amount of millions.

However, the shooting funds for "Terminator 2" are almost hundreds of millions of dollars, and the promotional cost will not be less than tens of millions of dollars.

This way, you can get a third or a quarter of the amount by investing 20 to 30 million yuan, which is still very cost-effective.

And they have already discussed it. They do not think that the Chinese are capable of raising up to tens of millions of dollars. Perhaps the state-owned capital in China that relies on monopoly to make profits has such ability. But judging by Lin Yu's age, he will never be the head of any Chinese state-owned enterprise. And from the information they know, the Chinese government will never allow any state-owned enterprise to invest such a huge sum of money into American movies. So they think that maybe they still have a chance to take advantage of the pressure of funds to force the young Chinese to retreat.

"There is too little information about him!" Li Yuancheng whined in his heart. Only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one win every battle. The Koreans naturally understand the principle that Victor comes into contact with. Therefore, they all understand the capitals that Victor has come into contact with and have thought of our way of dealing with it. However, Lin Yu was like jumping out of a stone, which made them unable to find any available information. Naturally, there was no targeted solution. So they could only hope to win this victory by relying on the pressure of funds.
