Chapter 506

~6 min read 1,065 words

It wasn't Han Han Sanping's fault for losing his composure.

It was mainly because Lin Yu was far too bold in his demands.

You have to know that the cost of "Ne Zha" was only 60 million.

Most films in China didn't even reach a total box office of one billion,

and you, damn it, want a cost of 1 billion.

Are you here to earn box office money, or are you here to earn money from our China Film Group!

Hearing that the film cost was one billion,

even Wu Jing gasped.

"Wolf Warrior 2" was filmed in many locations abroad and used many internationally advanced weapons and vehicles, and even then, it only barely reached a cost of 200 million.

Even with that investment cost, it made the hot searches back then.

A large number of people criticized Wu Jing's crew for being extravagant and wasteful, lacking restraint.

But compared to Lin Yu now, that was a small fish in a big pond.

He didn't expect that the movie they had casually decided on while drinking until their faces were red and necks thick yesterday would be of this scale.

He had thought he was just supporting his little brother, but it turned out Lin Yu was giving him an opportunity!

Zhao Zhao Jinmai, sitting on the edge of the chair, was trembling all over, completely terrified.

One billion!

And that was just the investment cost.

Could she handle such a large production?

Zhao Zhao Jinmai had taken a shallow look at the script last night, and her role was quite significant!

She had thought it was an experimental science fiction film, but she didn't expect to be brought to Boss Han the next day to negotiate the price.

All of this felt like a dream.

"General Manager Han, I remember telling you before that this time I plan to film both the upper and lower parts of 'The Wandering Earth'."

"This can save a lot of the crew's schedule, the special effects team's post-production, and the construction of sets."

"..."

Lin Yu spoke with resonance, providing logical reasons.

"No."

"This pricing is simply too high."

"We at China Film can provide at most 500 million."

Han Han Sanping stated firmly and decisively.

This kid was eloquent, but China Film's money didn't come from a strong wind.

Besides, this was mainly to respond to the cultural promotion tasks of the Film Bureau and the Publicity Department.

Otherwise, let alone 300 million, Han Han Sanping wouldn't even pay 300 yuan.

"Oh! Then forget it."

"You can tell Director Wei to change people!"

Lin Yu pulled Wu Jing and Zhao Zhao Jinmai, and with a blank expression, stood up and walked toward the office door.

"Ah?"

This scene immediately scared Wu Jing and Zhao Zhao Jinmai silly.

They didn't know whether to leave or stay.

They felt their scalps tingling.

Big brother!

The person in front of them was the leading boss of the China Film Group, who could turn clouds and rain with a flip of his hand!

Are you really going to show him no face like this?

You have to know that people who offended Han Han Sanping had all disappeared from the circle!

Daring to speak to Han Han Sanping like this, did Lin Yu really have no one left in this world worth cherishing?

"Stop!"

Han Han Sanping's mouth twitched, his eyes sharp.

The China Film Group had already reported the project task.

If he quit now, how would he explain it to the higher-ups?

This kid Lin Yu was truly detestable!

No one had ever dared to speak to China Film like this.

Besides, is this how you chat?

Leaving at the first sign of disagreement?

Hearing Han Han Sanping's shout,

Lin Yu didn't stop his steps; instead, he walked even faster.

"..."

Wu Jing and Zhao Zhao Jinmai felt cold in their hearts, feeling as if the sword hanging over their heads was about to fall at any moment.

Just this scene alone, Wu Jing wouldn't dare to brag about it, and he estimated no one in the circle would believe it.

Zhao Zhao Jinmai subconsciously closed her eyes.

Can't see me, can't see me!

If she had known, she would have been better off attending classes at the Central Academy of Drama!

She was afraid she would be completely blacklisted by the big shot for the rest of her life.

"Wait."

What surprised the two of them was that Han Han Sanping actually backed down first.

"At most 550 million."

Hearing Han Han Sanping's words,

Wu Jing and Zhao Zhao Jinmai's expressions finally eased a little.

Thank goodness, Boss Han wasn't going to lower himself to Lin Yu's level.

The way he offered this step down was very classy.

However, the next moment...

"950 million."

Lin Yu said calmly, neither humble nor arrogant.

Hearing this,

Wu Jing and Zhao Zhao Jinmai's faces turned green again.

Their breathing became stagnant.

Ancestor!

I beg you, please don't say anything more.

Isn't this pushing your luck?

Do you really have no regard for the big shot at all!?

You don't want to live, but we still do!

"600 million, no more than that."

"900 million, no less than that."

"You kid, aren't you going too far?"

"Boss Han, if you can't afford to play, then don't play."

"Fine, fine, fine! 700 million, this is my bottom line."

"800 million! This is the greatest sincerity I can offer."

"Are you damn crazy? Making a movie, where would you need so much money?"

"What's it to you?"

"..."

???

Watching Lin Yu and Han Han Sanping haggling back and forth like aunties at a vegetable market,

Wu Jing and Zhao Zhao Jinmai were completely dumbfounded.

They watched the extreme tug-of-war between the two sides with blank, stunned expressions.

Holy crap!

Anyone who didn't know the situation would think they were elderly people fighting over eggs at the entrance of a supermarket.

In the Chinese film industry, Lin Yu was definitely the first person in history to dare to engage in such a verbal battle and bargain with Third Master Han.

Finally, Han Han Sanping and Lin Yu signed the contract with an investment cost of 750 million.

"Uncle Han, do you want to have lunch together?"

Seeing the official seal of China Film on the contract, Lin Yu grinned and asked politely.
