Chapter 232 The Two Great Kindnesses in the World
After watching the entire movie, Lin Ming was even more looking forward to the release of The Cat God.
Whether it will maintain the predicted peak box office, or break the box office record with my own intervention, this is indeed an exciting thing.
Jin Xingxian, on the other hand, maintained a very contradictory expression while Lin Ming was watching the movie.
It seems that they hope Lin Ming can put forward some opinions, but they don't want Lin Ming to put forward any opinions.
From Jin Xingxian's personal point of view, he actually thinks this movie is perfect and very consistent with the blooming of dreams in his heart.
If Lin Ming raised an opinion, it would be like an egg being bitten, and it would make Jin Xingxian feel unhappy.
certainly.
It was not directed at Lin Ming.
But in his mind, this movie is not that perfect.
It will make Jin Xingxian's judgment about himself go wrong, and it will also make him shake his inner thoughts.
"Mr. Lin."
Lin Ming turned off the computer.
Jin Xingxian asked carefully: "What do you think...?"
"great!"
Lin Ming did not hesitate in his words of praise.
"Whether it's the movie's visuals, plot, camerawork, character portrayal, actors' acting skills, etc., it's all perfect."
After patting Jin Xingxian's shoulder, Lin Ming stood up.
"Jin Xingxian, congratulations, you did it!"
These are a few simple comments, whether they are true or false.
In short, Jin Xingxian's body immediately began to tremble, and he was extremely excited.
"I know what you're thinking about."
Lin Ming smiled again and said: "Thousands of eyes, thousands of opinions. Each of us has a different personality, looks at things differently, and even our own values are different."
"In the eyes of others, you can never be absolutely perfect. It can also be said that absolute perfection is actually a shortcoming in itself, a shortcoming that makes people jealous."
"Take movies as an example. The higher the box office is, the more controversial it is."
"In this way, there is only one dividing line that can prove whether you are successful, and that is the final box office."
"I have also studied the film industry during this period. A movie with a cost of 100 million must have a box office of at least 300 million to avoid losing money."
"According to the Hollywood movie box office passing line, a movie must reach at least 50 million U.S. dollars, which is 350 million people/RMB, to be considered passing."
Having said this, Lin Ming paused for a moment.
He smiled and looked at Jin Xingxian: "What do you think the final box office of your movie will be?"
Jin Xingxian was silent.
"It doesn't matter. Just tell me what you think. Since I dared to invest in you, I was already prepared to lose money."
After Lin Ming finished speaking, he added: "As you know, I donated 3 billion to Yizhou Province. I really don't care about the 100 million I spent on you."
Hearing this, Jin Xingxian breathed a sigh of relief.
He said softly: "Mr. Lin, actually I told you when we first met that the movie Cat God is very niche. From the box office alone, I don't think it will bring me any success."
What a surprise.”
"If it is my dream to shoot a complete movie, then your investment in Cat God will undoubtedly add a bright halo to this dream."
"However, you did not intervene in the plot of the movie, which means that it still cannot change the fact that Cat God is a niche movie."
"If I had to give you a box office figure..."
"Before you showed up, I don't think this movie's box office would have exceeded 50 million."
"And now, with Phoenix Entertainment behind the scenes negotiating with major theaters, Cat God has more possibilities to schedule films."
"According to my expectation... maybe it will reach about 200 million?"
When he mentioned 'two hundred million', Jin Xingxian secretly glanced at Lin Ming, full of guilt.
Because Lin Ming just said that a movie with a cost of 100 million would need at least 300 million in box office to make back the money.
This is equivalent to making Lin Ming lose money even before it is released.
Little did I know.
After he finished speaking, the corners of Lin Ming's mouth twitched fiercely.
Two hundred million?
How much do you, Jin Xingxian, look down on yourself?
The box office of 200 million is not even a fraction of the actual box office of Cat God!
"Mr. Lin, I told you this a long time ago..."
Looking at Lin Ming's dull expression, Jin Xingxian thought that he couldn't accept this 'fact', so he quickly explained it again.
Use Lin Ming's money to fulfill his dream.
His dream came true, but his heart was full of debt and guilt towards Lin Ming.
"Jin Xingxian, you can be humble, but you must not feel inferior. Do you understand?"
Lin Ming glared at him: "Let me tell you this, according to my opinion of this movie, the final box office of Cat God will be at least over 4 billion!"
"What?!"
Jin Xingxian's eyes widened, looking at Lin Ming as if he were looking at a ghost.
"Don't believe it?"
Lin Ming smiled: "If we can't reach this box office, it's my, Lin Ming's, incompetence, it's Phoenix Entertainment's incompetence, and it has nothing to do with you!"
"Mr. Lin, there is no need for you to comfort me like this." Jin Xingxian's eyes turned red.
"Forget it, no matter what I say, you won't believe it now. You will know it after the movie is released."
Lin Ming waved his hand: "Since you have completed the filming of Cat God, you don't have to focus on it. It's time to study the next movie."
Jin Xingxian's eyes twitched: "Mr. Lin, do you still plan to continue investing in me?"
"Otherwise? Do you think I'm making a one-time deal with you?"
Lin Ming shrugged: "It's getting late. You should go back to bed first and let me know before the final ceremony starts tomorrow."
Jin Xingxian stood up and took a breath.
Then, while Lin Ming was stunned, he bent down deeply towards him.
"What are you making a fuss about?" Lin Ming asked with a bitter smile.
"Mr. Lin, I, Jin Xingxian, swear that no matter what the box office of Cat God is, as long as Mr. Lin is still willing to have me, then I will never give up even if I go through fire and water!" Jin Xingxian said solemnly.
"I don't like men." Lin Ming pretended to be cold.
Jin Xingxian naturally knew what he meant.
There are two types of kindness in the world that are difficult to repay.
One is to save lives, and the other is to know others.
Lin Ming's appearance was a blessing to Jin Xingxian.
"Mr. Lin, go to bed early, I won't disturb you anymore."
Pick up the computer.
Jin Xingxian dragged his heavy body out of the room, leaving Lin Ming alone, smiling bitterly and shaking his head.
From God's perspective, Lin Ming knew everything that would happen in the future.
But no one else can know except him.
Lin Ming felt gratified that Jin Xingxian could show these things.
