Chapter 267 Money, you can still earn more
Li Linsen admires Lin Yu very much, but he is also a businessman. In business, making money is the last priority.
He admitted that Lin Yu was an excellent music producer, an excellent short story writer, and an excellent animated film screenwriter.
But these are not enough to prove that he can make profitable movies.
Whether a movie makes money or not, the right time, place and people are indispensable.
No big director can guarantee that every movie will have a good box office. It requires an excellent script, excellent actors, novel themes, and a bit of luck.
Even a great director has so many unknowns, let alone Lin Yu who has never made a movie before?
Therefore, Li Linsen does not believe that Lin Yu can make amazing movies. He can give 30 million as a friendly investment. If other inexperienced people want to make movies and ask him to invest, Li Linsen will not contribute a penny.
.
Ou Xiaojuan felt that the investment given was too little, but at the same time she also knew the boss very well and would not change her decision once it was made.
And it's obvious that Li Linsen is not optimistic about Lin Yu's career in making movies. The reason why he was able to give him 30 million was probably because of Lin Yu's other abilities.
Ou Xiaojuan didn't talk nonsense, but happily accepted the 30 million.
After coming out of Li Linsen's office, Ou Xiaojuan dialed Lin Yu's phone number.
"Thirty million." Ou Xiaojuan said straight to the point.
"That's enough." Lin Yu said calmly.
Ou Xiaojuan thought Lin Yu would say less, but she didn't expect him to be so calm, "Don't you think the money is too little?"
“A little less.”
"Yes, Mr. Li is really stingy."
"It's better than nothing."
"The cost of 30 million is too little. I will help you think of a way." Ou Xiaojuan said worriedly.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yu began to prepare for his new movie.
Thirty million is indeed not much, compared with big-budget movies by big directors.
Why are the production costs of those movies so high? In fact, most of the high production costs go into the pockets of the so-called first-line actors.
Those actors often earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in salary. How much money is actually used to make a movie?
Why are there so many movies that claim to cost one billion or more than one billion but are so bad that they can't even make a fraction of the box office revenue?
It is precisely because there are these actors who have neither moral character nor acting skills, and they have the behind-the-scenes capital to invest in movies for other purposes, that the actual production funds used for the movie are only tens of millions, or even less than that.
So Lin Yu felt in his heart that although 30 million was not too much, he should give it a try. He still had some money and could scrape it together.
He was sure that the movie he was holding could make back the money he invested.
Lin Yu started writing the script at home, and then planned to call Zhang Kaifeng and others to discuss it together later.
About an hour later, Lin Yu's cell phone rang, and Ou Xiaojuan called.
He clicked on the speakerphone, his hands still moving quickly on the keyboard. He wanted to finish writing the script today and briefly explain it to Zhang Kaifeng and the others.
"Give me a bank card number." Ou Xiaojuan said directly.
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, "Is the investment money coming so soon?"
"Hammer Company, your sister Xiaojuan's money." Ou Xiaojuan said carelessly.
"Huh?" Lin Yu stopped typing with both hands and picked up the phone.
Ou Xiaojuan had a smile on her lips, but said in a serious tone, "Sister Xiaojuan, you have also saved some money over the years of working, including real estate, investment and financial management. No matter how rich you are, you can still make it out to 10 million.
.”
Lin Yu never expected that Ou Xiaojuan would pay for him out of her own pocket, and her heart warmed.
An hour has passed since Ou Xiaojuan told him that Li Linsen was only willing to give him 30 million yuan. Why didn't Ou Xiaojuan directly say that he would invest 10 million yuan?
I collected money.
Although Ou Xiaojuan is the chief agent, she is just a part-timer after all. In Yanjing, a city with high prices and high consumption, and as the eldest sister of Shengkong, Ou Xiaojuan also spends a lot of money. Even if she spends 10 million, it will definitely be enough.
It's not spare money, it must be 10 million that I got by scraping together assets here and there.
"What if I lose it?" Lin Yu said with a smile.
"Even if I lose my investment, who told me to have bad judgment and admit defeat, you still have to listen to me and be a star and work hard to make money for me."
Lin Yu was amused by Ou Xiaojuan.
“What if the movie makes money?”
"If you make money, even if I borrow your money, just pay me back. No, if you make money, you can't just give me the principal. I've lost a lot of interest because of you, so you have to give me both the principal and the interest."
Ou Xiaojuan laughed heartily.
Lin Yu was silent for a moment, "If the movie loses money, even if you lend me the money, 10 million will be returned to you with interest."
"If you make money, you are an investor and you divide the money according to a percentage."
Ou Xiaojuan said without hesitation. "Okay, I will listen to you. You are now the chief producer of the entire movie."
Ou Xiaojuan didn't expect Lin Yu to pay back the money. If the movie really failed, she would treat her investment as a failure. But she wasn't going to say these things now because she didn't want Lin Yu to think that she didn't like his movie.
...
"Sister Xiaojuan, do you really think Lin Yu can make good movies?" Qian Yu said, sitting across from Ou Xiaojuan's desk.
"I don't know." Ou Xiaojuan smiled and shook her head.
"I don't know why I invested 10 million in him. You lost a lot of money by selling those funds and stocks." Ou Xiaojuan followed Qian Yu in her financial management. She didn't understand stocks and funds. She didn't know what Qian Yu asked her to buy.
Just buy whatever you want, so when Ou Xiaojuan sells stocks and funds, she also asks Qian Yu for help.
"It doesn't matter, it's money. It's the same investment wherever you put it." Ou Xiaojuan said calmly.
"Those are stocks and funds that can be held for the long term. They are the assets you have saved for yourself." Qian Yu said in confusion.
In the past, Ou Xiaojuan didn't know how to manage money at all. All her money was deposited in the bank with very low interest rates.
Later, after listening to Qian Yu's words, I selected some high-quality corporate stocks and held them for a long time.
"You don't need to worry about it. You can still make money. When my salary is paid next month, I will buy fixed investment in that fund. You introduced me to it last time. It was good." Ou Xiaojuan changed the topic.
Qian Yu had no choice but to say "hmm" and hesitated to say what he wanted to say. Finally, he got up and left Ou Xiaojuan's office.
Ou Xiaojuan smiled and looked at Qian Yu's leaving figure.
The 10 million given to Lin Yu was basically all the cash she could spare. Apart from real estate, Ou Xiaojuan only had so much money.
Just like what she said to Qian Yu just now, Ou Xiaojuan really didn't know whether Lin Yu's movie would work.
But she just believed in Lin Yu
Believe in his strength, believe that he has the ability to do what he says, and believe that he can surprise her again and again.
If Lin Yu's movies really make money, everyone will be happy.
If you fail...
Well, you can still make more money.
