Chapter 1059: Betting against China Film Group, making North America tremble!

"Are you sure you understood Director Wei just now? Global box office exceeding 'Ne Zha' means at least 850 million in box office."

Han Sanping's face sank as he said seriously.

This isn't a joke, is it?

One is the Director of the Administration, the other is the boss of China Film; coming here is not to chat idly with you.

"Forget 850 million."

"If it doesn't reach 1 billion US dollars, I'll compensate you with my two companies."

Lin Yu patted his chest and said confidently.

Isn't it just exceeding the box office of 'Ne Zha'?

And gaining higher influence in the overseas market!

Even without the support of the Administration and China Film Group, this was Lin Yu's next plan.

Now that he had a strong backing, it was equivalent to having an imperial decree, so he had even fewer worries.

"Good!"

"For this film shooting task, our China Film will be responsible for investment and operations."

"If it reaches 1 billion US dollars in box office, we split the profits 50/50."

"If the task is not reached, the remaining losses will have to come out of your company."

Han Sanping instantly displayed the negotiating aura of a China Film boss, his expression resolute.

"No problem."

Lin Yu snapped his fingers easily.

This was equivalent to a betting contract, but for Lin Yu, it was absolutely a profitable deal with no losses.

Not having to spend a penny and still being able to earn 50% of the profits for free—this wave was definitely a huge win.

Moreover, with China Film coming forward, they could solve the theater operations for the film abroad.

Lin Yu hoped for more of such good things.

"Uh..."

"You kid, are you really that confident?"

Han Sanping frowned and said.

It wasn't like he hadn't seen those young people who talk big before.

He didn't know where Lin Yu's confidence came from.

It seems the person Director Wei recommended is still too green! "The audience in foreign markets has great differences, and they don't have a good impression of our domestic animation."

"Little Lin, you can consider it again."

Director Wei was also a bit worried.

Both he and Han Sanping had served in the military.

That conversation just now was not something to be taken lightly.

Having taken the military pledge, if he messed it up, Lin Yu's hard-earned everything would likely go bankrupt.

"If we are entering the overseas market, we definitely can't shoot domestic animation."

Hearing this,

Director Wei and Han Sanping let out a long sigh of relief.

At least Lin Yu had done some research on the foreign market.

He knew that foreigners don't buy into domestic animation!

However, the next moment.

"I plan to shoot a sci-fi film."

Lin Yu said leisurely and nonchalantly.

"What?"

"What?"

Han Sanping and Director Wei were stunned; the two big bosses, who were usually as steady as Mount Tai, were instantly unsettled.

Looking at Lin Yu in front of them, their eyes were full of surprise.

They didn't even notice that their cigarette butts were burning their hands.

"You, you're not joking, are you?"

"A sci-fi film! The North American market is least lacking in sci-fi films."

"Aren't you throwing an egg against a rock?"

Han Sanping questioned in astonishment.

This was too absurd!

If it weren't for Director Wei being here, he probably would have cursed and walked out.

Everyone else uses their strengths to attack others' weaknesses.

Good fellow!

You kid are doing it backward, using your weakness to fight others' strengths.

You're just sticking your neck out for the guillotine, right?

"Little Lin, are you sure you want to shoot a sci-fi film? This genre is already very mature in North America."

Director Wei was also quite surprised, but he knew Lin Yu very well; he was definitely not someone who would shoot without a target. He was a bit worried that he wouldn't be able to clean up the mess after the military pledge was made.

"Don't worry!"

"It's the perfect chance to show the foreigners what a real sci-fi blockbuster is."

Lin Yu curled the corners of his mouth upward and said with full confidence.

"???"

Director Wei paused, his words reaching his lips before he swallowed them back down.

It wasn't about boosting others' morale while dampening his own!

North American sci-fi films have had decades of accumulation.

That is the genre they built their fortune on.

For you to go and face them head-on so brazenly, aren't you just asking to be crushed?

"Fine, fine, fine."

"If there is anything you need help with, just speak up."

"You can mobilize any artist in the entire Chinese film industry as you please."

Although Han Sanping agreed readily with his mouth.

It was quite obvious that he was being somewhat cynical and distrustful.

Aside from martial arts films, Chinese cinema basically has very little that can be presented to the world.

Even a director as gifted as Li An had to rely on a wuxia film like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to break into the North American market.

Thinking you can turn things around with a sci-fi film? Keep dreaming!

After the contract was signed and Han Sanping was seen off.

Director Wei kept Lin Yu behind.

"My dear nephew, you spoke too boastfully today."

"However, rest assured."
