At dinner time, the famous Hollywood director Jonathan came to the door as promised, and after he was asked by the housekeeper Andrew, he immediately said that he could come over today to talk to Kim Hyun-tae about investment issues.

After all, the current financial break has made him a little anxious.

Now that Kim Hyun Tae has shown a willingness to invest, Jonathan will certainly not give up.

Even if Kim Hyun Tae is a person who has been warned by the five major film and television companies in private channels and is not allowed to contact, there is no threat to those who have pressed all their net worth to this film and are about to go bankrupt.

Jonathan didn't want to go bankrupt, and he didn't want his hard-earned money to be reduced to nothingness at one time, and then he himself went to sleep on the street.

So now that there is any opportunity in front of him, he needs to seize it.

As for the big five studios?

Let them go to hell!

Rather than worrying about being banned by the five major film companies in the future, it is better to worry about how to prevent yourself from going bankrupt.

So Jonathan made the choice.

"Hello, Mr. Jonathan, I've heard of your name for a long time, and you're the premier director in Hollywood. ”

The first thing he said after seeing Jonathan was that Kim Hyun-tae complimented him very much.

After all, good words don't cost money, so what does it matter if you say it.

Kim Hyun Tae doesn't want to look high, that would be disgusting.

As a former low-level ****, Kim Hyun-tae hates that kind of style, so he will definitely not let himself become that kind of person.

And his approachability, which does not look like a rich man at all, is indeed a surprise to Jonathan, and at the same time his first impression is very good.

It's a great start.

"You're so polite, I'm just an ordinary director. It's not as good as you say, people like me grab a lot of it in Hollywood. ”

Jonathan is also very humble in the face of Kim Hyun-tae's compliments, and is not as unruly as some other famous directors.

"You may be seated. ”

Without letting the housekeeper Andrew lead the way, Kim Hyun-tae himself led Jonathan to the study and received him personally.

For Kim Hyun-tae's personal reception, Jonathan was a little flattered.

"Would you like something to drink? I have a lot of alcohol here. But I don't like it personally, at most sometimes I drink some mint wine. ”

Kim Hyun Tae asked after Jonathan sat down.

"No, no, no! I don't drink. ”

Jonathan hurriedly said that he would not drink.

Jonathan's visit is considered a guest, and as a host, he always has to entertain him, which is a matter of etiquette and cannot be ambiguous.

So Kim Hyun-tae asked, "So how about we have some tea?" I have famous tea imported from China here. ”

It doesn't matter if you don't drink alcohol, you can drink some tea, so Jonathan didn't refuse to drink tea.

"Andrew, please make us a pot of tea, with the dragon well. ”

After instructing his butler. Kim Hyun Tae went straight to the topic.

"Please forgive me for being direct, I don't like to be polite, and after a long contact with me, you will understand my whole person, so I want to know if I invest 60 million US dollars, how much profit will you give me in the future? ”

That's right, Jonathan didn't suspect anything.

After all, the United States is such an environment, and it is normal for business to talk about business.

$60 million is nothing for a rich man. But that's not a decimal either.

Either way, $60 million was paid. You have to know what you're going to get, right?

Even Jonathan himself would ask the same question as Kim Hyun-tae about this.

Joansen is not disgusted with Kim Hyun-tae's directness, Westerners just like directness, but they are not used to beating around the bush.

So Joanson sat up straight and replied to Kim Hyun-tae seriously: "I invested $130 million in this film, and I originally invested $130 million in 'Lionsgate'." But they withdrew halfway, so the film could not be filmed normally, and if the film could not be completed, then my personal investment would be completely wasted.

According to my agreement with Lionsgate, they will take 50% of the film's net revenue. That is, I and I each took half of it, but now that there is such a situation, I am willing to give up part of my interests and provide 80% of the net profit income distribution to those who can come up with funds to support me, what do you think?"

Although Jonathan seems to have suffered a loss, if you think about it, it is always better to be able to take 20% of the net profit income distribution than to go bankrupt.

So Jonathan is relatively smart.

What's more, the world's population base is ten times larger than Kim Hyun-tae's previous life, and based on this, even if Jonathan takes 20% of the net income distribution, it will definitely not be a small number.

So it's no wonder that Jonathan would offer this price.

Of course, this price tag was clearly well thought out by Jonathan.

Nodding slightly, Jin Xiantai said: "I am very satisfied with this investment allocation plan. But are you sure $60 million is really enough?"

"$60 million is absolutely enough, I swear to God. Kim Hyun-tae's meaning is already obvious, and he is very excited to invest in his own films.

Therefore, while Jonathan was a little excited in his heart, he also made a guarantee to Kim Hyun Tae that he was definitely only 60 million US dollars short of the film.

"I'm sorry, I don't quite understand, Lionsgate withdrew $130 million, shouldn't you have a gap of $130 million? Why is $60 million enough now?"

However, Kim Hyun Tae did not immediately say that he agreed to invest, but asked a question that he was more puzzled about.

Indeed, according to reason, this is indeed the case, and it is no wonder that Kim Hyun-tae is a little curious.

Hearing Kim Hyun-tae ask about this, and at the same time seeing that Kim Hyun-tae was a little curious and confused about this matter, Joansen explained: "Actually, this involves some reasons for the withdrawal of 'Lionsgate', and I originally planned to use some new actors for this film. And the plot also follows its own design, but Lionsgate disagrees with this point, they think that big-name actors should be invited and the plot should be greatly modified......"

After explaining the ins and outs through Joanson, Kim Hyun-tae understood why 'Lionsgate Films' would withdraw its investment, strictly speaking, this is just Jonathan.

In Hollywood, Jonathan is a big-name director, yes. But he is also a director with a lot of character and ideas, but in the early days, in order to make money, he had to obey the arrangements of big film and television companies to shoot films that seemed to him to be rubbish, but they were very profitable.

Now that he has achieved fame and has some money in his hands, he decided to get rid of the shackles of big film and television companies, and planned to make a movie according to his own ideas, while being able to make money. Prove yourself too.

But there are some things that you can't just think about.

Lionsgate is playing with him now.

Don't you want to go the path of an independent producer?

After Lao Tzu praised you as a great director, you and I went our separate ways, right?

Good!

Then Lao Tzu will destroy you!

Don't you think you have two money!

Then let you go bankrupt.

And then there was such a situation.

Basically, from Jonathan's description, Kim Hyun-tae judged that this might be the case.

It's just that Joanson hasn't understood this yet.

But Kim Hyun-tae didn't plan to tell him, after all, it was useless to say it.

Jonathan's idea of becoming an independent producer is very firm, and he will not accept it even if he throws an olive branch to him.

Of course, this is also because Joanson does not want to be pinned down anymore. After all, if he wants to express some of his attitudes and ideas, he must not do this again.

Kim Hyun-tae can also understand this.

Fortunately, Kim Hyun Tae didn't think about recruiting Jonathan. I just want to use Jonathan's relationship to solve the situation that my company is suppressed.

Soon, Kim Hyun-tae made a decision, but it was only $60 million.

This little money is nothing to him now.

Besides, this money will not necessarily be a loss, and it may be possible to make a lot of money.

Therefore, Kim Hyun-tae pretended to be silent for a while. Only then did he say to Jonathan, who was a little apprehensive: "I know that the five major Hollywood film and television companies privately advised practitioners not to have anything to do with me, so in such a situation, you accepted my funds." Don't you worry about the repercussions? Don't you lose time in Hollywood. ”

It seems to be a kind explanation of the situation, but this is not Kim Hyun-tae's temptation.

It's not impossible to want his own $60 million, but Jonathan also has to show a little attitude to do it, and now Kim Hyun-tae has a little bit of a 'crocodile' demeanor.

Jonathan smiled bitterly when he heard this, and then said to Kim Hyun Tae: "To the hell with them, if I want to be afraid of the five major film companies, it is better to make me afraid of going bankrupt." Besides, they don't necessarily do anything to me, it's just to restrict the release of my films.

But as far as I know, you have a 3,000-theater theater chain in your hands, and if you can, after my film is completed, it will not be released through the theaters of the five major film and television companies, but in yours, so they can't help it. ”

Hehe!

Jonathan still had that idea.

Speaking of which, he must have considered the problems he would encounter, such as the five major film and television companies restricting the release of his movies or something.

So Joansen accepted his own investment, and when the time came, he could rely on this relationship to let the film be released in the theaters he controlled.

There are no fools and fools in this world.

Kim Hyun-tae sighed a little in his heart, and then said, "You're right, but don't you think my theater is a little smaller?"

Jonathan put away his sad expression and replaced it with an eerie smile.

"If you're interested, there's actually an opportunity in front of you now, as far as I know, the partner of 'Lionsgate', after the death of the owner of Monte Cinemas, his sons were very happy for the family property, and these guys are all second ancestors, they don't know how to operate, just thinking about how to sell the family-run theater, and then take the money to spend all the time, and 'Lion Pictures' is also thinking about preparing to lower the price and take the Monte Cinemas from these playboys." ”

Ooh!

This is unexpected news.

Jonathan's revelation surprised Kim Hyun-tae.

Kim Hyun-tae is no stranger to the Monte family cinema chain, since he has a small cinema chain with 3,000 theaters, he himself has studied the related industry.

The Monte Cinema Line is the largest cinema operator on the West Coast, with 12,880 theaters.

At this time, Kim Hyun-tae began to think that if he could win the Monte Cinema Line, plus the 3,000 California theaters in his hands, then he would inevitably become the largest theater holder on the West Coast.

At that time, even if the five major film companies continue to suppress themselves, they can ignore them and even play their own games.

Thinking of this, Kim Hyun-tae couldn't help but feel a burst of fire in his heart.

At this time, Jonathan continued: "In terms of funds, I think you will have no problem with Mr. William, at least more than the five major film and television companies, right? If the big five studios want to peep at the Monte Cinemas, I think you'll have to find a bank loan, but you definitely don't need to. ”

Jonathan's words just spoke of Kim Hyun-tae's advantage.

That's right!

Lao Tzu will take the money and smash it to get the Monte Cinema Line over!

Kim Hyun-tae made up his mind at the moment.

Immediately, Kim Hyun Tae smiled and stretched out his hand to Jonathan and said to him: "Thank you very much for this news, I am willing to invest 100 million US dollars in your film, as for the share, I think it is still 50%, I am very much looking forward to the opportunity to cooperate in the future." ”

Invest in peach and repay it.

Kim Hyun-tae is also very good at being a person.

At the same time, Kim Hyun Tae also understands why Jonathan told him the news, very simply, hoping to make Lionsgate unhappy. (To be continued.) )
