"The next 'Love is Not Blind'!"
Wang Changtian got excited as soon as he heard this. Even if "Lost in Thailand" could achieve half the success of "Love is Not Blind", Enlight Media would still make a huge profit. Besides, this was an investment!
With the previous film "Love is Not Blind," Enlight Media must have made a lot of money, but after all, they were just the distributor, so they certainly didn't make as much as Lin Feng, the investor!
Of course, if Enlight Media invested in "Lost in Thailand," then the film's distribution would definitely still be handled by Enlight Media. If it's something they invested in, why would they let someone else distribute it?
"Lin Feng, didn't you just say you had no money? How come you have money to invest now?"
"It's none of my business whether I have money or not. Since you asked for my opinion, you have to give me half of the investment in this movie 'Lost in Thailand.' Don't you know the saying, 'When you meet, you split the bill in half, and we'll still be good partners,'" Lin Feng said, resorting to sophistry.
"What do you mean by 'share half when we meet, and we'll still be good partners'? I've never heard of that! Aren't you just a robber? I shouldn't have asked you."
"Hmph! If you hadn't asked me, would you be so certain? Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Now you have no choice but to give it to me!"
"I'm speechless. How can you be so blatantly robbing people? How much was the total investment for 'Lost in Thailand'? And you want to take half of it. That's a bit too much!"
"How about this, if I invest in my next movie, I'll let you invest some too, what do you say?"
Upon hearing Lin Feng's suggestion, Wang Changtian readily agreed. Compared to "Lost in Thailand," he definitely valued Lin Feng more!
"That's more like it! Remember what you said, next time you invest in a movie, you better drag me into it! You have to keep your word!"
However, the total investment for "Lost in Thailand" is only 3000 million, and you want half of that? That's a bit too much. I'll only give you a 1000 million investment share at most, no more than that, otherwise, wouldn't all our efforts be wasted?
"Alright! Ten million it is! I won't argue with you anymore, it's a deal! You have to keep your word! You absolutely can't go back on your word!" Lin Feng emphasized again.
"It's just a movie, what's there to back out of?" Wang Changtian didn't take it seriously. Even if "Lost in Thailand" achieved the box office success of "Love is Not Blind," so what? He's seen money before!
When Lin Feng hung up the phone, he understood that probably no one could have imagined how amazing the box office of "Lost in Thailand" would be. The 12.7 billion yuan box office miracle was no joke!
It feels so good to make money for free by taking advantage of information asymmetry about the future!
What made Lin Feng even happier was that he finally figured out what reward he should give Fan Binbin: to get her to invest in "Lost in Thailand" with him, since she had made a cameo appearance in the movie in her previous life.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng immediately called Fan Binbin, but she didn't answer at first, probably because she was busy. About 10 minutes later, she called back, and it was a video chat.
Fan Binbin on the other end of the phone seemed to have just taken a shower. She was wearing a bathrobe, and her scalp was still a little damp. She was video chatting with Lin Feng while putting on makeup and getting ready in front of him.
"Is it pretty?"
"nice!"
"Want to see?"
"I want to see it!"
Want to see more?
"May I!"
"Why not? You haven't seen anything!"
Unlike Deng Shuang, Fan Binbin was not shy. She openly and completely showed herself to Lin Feng, almost causing him to have a nosebleed.
"Have you seen enough?"
"That's enough! I can't take it anymore."
Just then, Fan Binbin finished tidying up and stopped bullying Lin Feng.
Lin Feng, realizing he had been a bit tactless, asked, "Where are you now? I don't feel like I'm in China."
"This is Seoul, South Korea. I'm here to promote the movie 'My Way'."
"What movie? I've never heard of it before."
"A movie about World War II involving China, Japan, and South Korea. I'm a Chinese goddess sniper! I'm a crack shot, never missing a beat!"
"Really? Snipers are usually male; I've never actually seen a female sniper before. So, what makes you different as a female sniper? What's your most glorious moment?"
"My highlight moment? Facing enemy bombers, I shot one down with just this sniper rifle!"
"Holy crap! Is this plot really that explosive? Didn't you tear the Japanese soldiers apart with your bare hands?!"
"Ugh! This is a legitimate movie. I'll let you see it sometime, but it definitely won't be released in China."
"That's such a pity! I wanted to see my goddess in her best moments!"
"By the way, what did you want to see me about? My little brother Lin Feng?"
"It's nothing! Can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?"
"Of course you can call me if there's nothing wrong, I'd be happy to hear it. But it seems like you always have something on your mind when you don't call me first!"
"Oh! Really! Then I'll bother you more often from now on."
"Are you really alright this time?" Fan Binbin looked at Lin Feng with her big eyes.
"Uh...something's up! Actually, it's good news. I've found a really good investment opportunity, and I'd like to ask you to invest in a movie together. Also, I'd like to lend you some money for emergency cash flow, which is also for investing in this movie."
You know, once the box office revenue from "Love is Not Blind" comes through, I'll have some money in my hands. And you said you'd call me if there's a good investment opportunity next time.
This movie is good; I think it has more box office potential than "Love is Not Blind." I practically forced Wang Changtian, the CEO of Enlight Media, to give it to me. We can invest in it together.
Lin Feng was still a little embarrassed when he said this. He had borrowed money from Fan Binbin again. Why did he always borrow money from his woman? He vowed that after the box office revenue sharing for "Love is Not Blind" came in, he would never borrow money from a woman again.
"What movie is it? I'm a little curious that it's even better than 'Love is Not Blind'," Fan Binbin asked curiously.
Lin Feng then explained the basic situation of "Lost in Thailand" to Fan Binbin, who then said, "Since you think so highly of it, what else do I have to consider? I'll pay whatever it costs."
"How can you pay for it all yourself? I didn't thank you for investing in 'Love is Not Blind' last time. This time, we should at least split the investment 50/50!"
"I'm already very happy that you thought of me when you invested. Besides, if this film, *Lost in Thailand*, can reach the level of *Love is Not Blind*..."
If "The Sky" does well at the box office, then I've made a fortune.
Besides, without you, how could I have invested in this movie? They're only letting you invest because they're giving you face; I'm not naive."
"Alright, whatever you say. Anyway, I owe you enough, and I can't pay you back anytime soon."
"Then would you be willing to owe me something more?"
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, I have an apartment in Yanjing that I've never lived in. How about I give it to you? That way you'll have a place to stay in Yanjing, and it'll be more convenient for us to be together!"
It's about houses again. Why is every woman talking about houses lately? Is Lin Feng that desperate for a house?
"I don't want your house. I'll buy it once I get my share of the box office revenue from 'Love is Not Blind'!"
"Then you'll still have to wait, and even if you buy a house, you'll still have to renovate it, which takes time. My house, on the other hand, is all set up and ready to move in."
"Then I don't want it either, otherwise wouldn't I really become your gigolo!"
