Before Zhou Dongsheng could live in peace for a few days, he received an unexpected call. It was from Wu Jing.
"Hello Brother Jing, Happy New Year." I just started thinking about him and he called me. Isn't this like sending me a pillow when I'm sleepy?
"Hey Dongsheng, Happy New Year to you too. I have something I want to discuss with you." As a well-known straight man, Wu Jing went straight to the point.
Zhou Dongsheng immediately became excited. Could it be that they have already started to solicit investment? However, if they were to solicit investment, it would not be Wu Jing's turn to come to them personally.
After all, the two of them haven't had any direct contact yet. Even if Wu Jing hasn't taken off yet, there's no reason for him to ask for investment. After all, there's Principal Wang ahead of him...
"That's right, Dongsheng, do you want to make a movie? I have a role that is quite suitable for you." Wu Jing also said something shocking.
"What? Want me to make a movie? Can I make a movie in my current condition?" Zhou Dongsheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but when he thought about it, he suddenly remembered one thing.
It is said that when the second part of "Wolf Warrior 2" was being filmed, Wu Jing asked Principal Wang to play the role of the rich second generation, but Principal Wang refused.
And when there was a lack of funds for the filming of "Wolf Warrior 2", Principal Wang also invested a large sum of money, and this investment also brought Principal Wang an excess return.
Now it seems that the script has probably been released, but the role of the "rich second generation" has actually fallen on me?
Zhou Dongsheng was also a little caught off guard. If possible, Zhou Dongsheng wouldn't mind showing up in the movie and playing a cameo role. After all, it would be fun, right?
However, the filming of "Wolf Warrior 2" requires a lot of hardship, and this alone is enough to make Zhou Dongsheng's interest disappear.
What's more, he is playing a thankless role as a rich second-generation and he doesn't plan to develop in the entertainment industry, so why should he cause trouble for himself?
"I've been thinking about the movie script recently because I have nothing to do. There is a rich second-generation character that is quite interesting. I went to Principal Wang, and Principal Wang recommended you..."
Sure enough, the first choice was still Principal Wang, and Director Wu probably thought of me as the "spare tire" because I left some impression on him after the last meeting.
"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Jing. Let's forget about making the movie, but if your movie needs investment, you can give me priority. Funding is definitely not a problem."
Although this role can make a big splash, even a cameo appearance is enough to earn him the title of "5 billion box office supporting actor".
However, the way of filming in Africa was too hard-core. Zhou Dongsheng could only say that he was not worthy of it and it was more comfortable to just lie down and make money.
"Why don't you think about it? With your looks, Dongsheng, it would be a shame if you don't develop your career in the entertainment industry..." Director Wu was also unusually enthusiastic.
"Forget about this matter. How about we talk about the investment in Brother Jing's next movie..." Zhou Dongsheng was also very enthusiastic.
After all, we know that this is a gold mine and it is impossible to monopolize it, but every shovelful of digging is a shovelful of digging. No one will ever have too much money.
"Not so fast. I'm not very satisfied with the script right now, and we don't know when the actual filming will start. Do you have such high hopes for me?" Director Wu asked jokingly.
"Slow work produces fine work. I really admire Brother Jing's spirit of sharpening his sword for seven years. This spirit alone is worth my investment." Zhou Dongsheng flattered him again.
This flattery really touched Wu Jing's heart. Unexpectedly, he didn't find the role, but instead attracted a potential investor?
"Do you really want to be an investor? There are no other conditions, such as giving someone a role or something..." Wu Jing asked tentatively .
"Since I admire Brother Jing's spirit, I have always believed in one principle: professional matters should be left to professionals, and laymen should not interfere." Zhou Dongsheng also said confidently.
This sentence is so accurate and hits Wu Jing's pain point. If all investors were so easy to talk to, why would he need to mortgage his house?
"Okay, Dongsheng, what you said is right! If I need investment at that time, I will definitely contact you first. It's just that making a movie costs a lot of money..." Wu Jing tested Zhou Dongsheng's financial resources again with concern.
After all, being easy to talk to is one thing, but it’s all in vain if you don’t have money, right?
"I can still come up with tens of millions. If Brother Jing needs it, it won't be a problem to squeeze out 100 million. When the time comes, Brother Jing can just ask for it."
Zhou Dongsheng was rarely arrogant. Although he didn't have that much money in his pocket now, he had some in the stock market.
"Wolf Warrior 2" will not be released until 2017. Conservatively speaking, if it starts filming earlier, it will be at the end of 2015 or 2016.
By that time, I would have already withdrawn unscathed from this epic stock market trend, so investing 100 million yuan would not be an exaggeration.
What's more, even if Wu Jing invests 100 million yuan in his next movie, he can still get a return of more than 1 billion yuan. This kind of good thing will rarely come to you once the stock market passes by.
This sentence also made Wu Jing slightly shocked. His tone was quite arrogant, but since he could chat and laugh with Principal Wang, he was probably a wealthy man.
Although he is just a fledgling director, Wu Jing also knows how valuable investors are. Although there is nothing in black and white , it is always a good idea to make friends.
"I'll take note of what you said, but don't go back on your word when you come to me later!" Wu Jing said with a smile.
"No problem. If Brother Jing is worried, we can go and sign the contract now!" Zhou Dongsheng said very frankly.
After all, in Zhou Dongsheng's view, you may make a small profit, but I will never lose money!
"The movie isn't even finalized yet, so what can I use to sign a contract with you? But your words are enough!" Wu Jing also laughed, feeling that Zhou Dongsheng's open-minded personality was particularly to his liking.
He is much more interesting than those people who speak in a roundabout way. If we were just acquaintances before, now we can be considered friends.
After all, for men, friendship is sometimes that simple. If you can talk to each other and get along well, you can be brothers even if you have only met a few times.
People who don't get along well with each other are just pretending to be familiar with each other even if they have been together for several years.
After chatting for a few more sentences, Zhou Dongsheng hung up the phone. He was very satisfied. He thought that his way of speaking that pleased the other person had helped him squeeze onto half of the train.
The remaining half, of course, has to be written in black and white, but now that things have come to this, there is no reason why I can't squeeze in.
After all, I am so determined because I know that this investment will definitely not be a loss and I can make a lot of money.
For other investors, no matter how optimistic they are about Wu Jing, don’t they also have to consider the risks?
This information gap alone was enough for Zhou Dongsheng to seize the initiative and eat the first bite of meat.
Zhou Dongsheng does not intend to keep such a good project to himself. He will also notify Principal Wang and others when the time comes.
As for whether to invest or not, that is their business. After all, when it comes to investment, the profits and losses are at their own risk.
