I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!-Chapter 77 - Meeting Wu Jin, Investing Twenty Million_1

Chen Yuting agreed with Liu Chao’s viewpoint.

“Yuting, it seems we again see eye to eye as heroes do,” Liu Chao said with a laugh.

Not long after the two had left, Shen Dong drove up in his Bentley King.

Entering the private room mentioned by Wu Jin, he saw Wu Jin and Qin Haiyang.

“Mr.

Shen, you’ve arrived, please have a seat,” Wu Jin warmly greeted Shen Dong upon seeing him.

He had already seen Shen Dong’s photo through Qin Haiyang and knew what he looked like.

He also knew that Shen Dong was the boss of a media company and owned a host guild.

Driving a Bentley King, Shen Dong was the epitome of youthful success.

His purpose in coming to Hai City was twofold: to see Wansheng Venture Capital and Shen Dong.

The people from Wansheng Venture Capital had already given him the cold shoulder, saying that there was no future in military action movies and had left before he could fully explain his project.

Now, Shen Dong was his last hope.

If Shen Dong did not invest, Wu Jin would be completely out of options.

He would probably have to go back and consult with his wife about selling their car and house.

Possibly even mortgaging his father-in-law’s house.

No matter what, he was determined to finish his movie.

It was his dream and his hope.

After ordering a coffee, Shen Dong listened to Wu Jin explain the situation with “The Battle Tiger.”

Wu Jin was eloquent in his pitch, explaining how “The Battle Tiger” was this and that, and his confidence in its box office potential.

Upon hearing this, Shen Dong asked, “Mr.

Wu, if you’re so confident in ‘The Battle Tiger’s’ box office numbers, you could easily persuade investors to inject more funds.

Why haven’t they done so?”

Although he knew “The Battle Tiger” grossed five hundred million, he still expressed skepticism.

One couldn’t immediately agree to invest, as that would help maintain the upper hand and garner more benefits.

“My confidence doesn’t matter, they’re terrified of throwing their money down the drain.”

“There’s an investor who was willing to inject more funds, but they wanted to insert a ‘fresh meat’ actor as the secondary lead and asked me to change the script.”

“I absolutely refuse to partake in such blind meddling.

I must take responsibility for my movie and for the audience who watch my work.”

“You probably understand, those ‘fresh meat’ actors, aside from their looks, they’re pretty much useless, lacking in all that’s required.”

“I don’t want my film to be ruined by one of these young idols.

Even if I have to sell my car and house, I won’t accept such conditions.”

Wu Jin believed that domestic military action films were unwatchable predominantly because of these inexperienced pretty faces causing issues.

Such actors turn military action films into child’s play—only deluded fans would watch them.

Anyone else would end up voicing their scorn.

Of course, these young idols landing roles in such films is all due to the power of capital.

That power of capital is overwhelmingly strong.

Wu Jin was unable to resist the overall environment, but in his movie, he could still prevent this from happening.

To put it bluntly, even if he couldn’t pull in investment, and selling cars and houses wasn’t enough to cover the investment, even if the movie ended up unfinished, he wouldn’t allow capital to force a young idol into it.

Sometimes, people need to have some persistence.

Fortunately, his wife was a virtuous woman who supported his persistence, otherwise he couldn’t have continued.

Qin Haiyang considered for a moment, then spoke, “Shen Dong, Mr.

Wu’s words are indeed true.

I think his perseverance is extremely commendable.

There are not many filmmakers like that anymore.

Just for his responsible attitude toward the movie, The Battle Tiger will not be bad.”

Actually, he didn’t need to be there today, but Wu Jin thought that since Shen Dong was his old classmate, having Qin Haiyang present might increase the chances of success, so he had brought him along.

However, Qin Haiyang didn’t think his presence would increase the chances of success.

After all, we’re not talking about just tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands in investment, but millions and tens of millions.

He didn’t believe his classmate relationship with Shen Dong could impact Shen Dong’s investment decision.

But since Wu Jin had asked him to come, he came.

Of course, he also hoped he could play a small part.

Because he was also optimistic about “The Battle Tiger” and hoped it could be completed and released.

After hearing the two speak, Shen Dong was silent for a moment before asking, “Mr.

Wu, how much more money do you need to finish The Battle Tiger?”

When Wu Jin heard Shen Dong’s inquiry, he knew there was hope, felt a surge of joy, and immediately said, “Fifteen million.”

He had calculated this carefully.

Whenever he went to raise investments, this question would definitely be asked, and he had already answered it countless times.

Shen Dong was silent for another moment before saying, “Mr.

Wu, when I do things, I hope to do them as well as possible.

Tell me the truth, if you invest another fifteen million, will it be possible to create your ideal version of The Battle Tiger?”

Wu Jin was startled, and then said, “Mr.

Shen, if you’re talking about creating my ideal The Battle Tiger, it would need twenty million.”

Fifteen million was indeed a bit short of making his ideal The Battle Tiger.

But he didn’t dare to ask for more, fearing he would scare the investor away.

Being able to make the movie, even if it wasn’t perfect, was already very good.

If Shen Dong hadn’t asked, he would not have mentioned it.

Every time he went to raise funds, it was always fifteen million.

Shen Dong smiled and said, “In that case, I will invest twenty million, so you can create your ideal The Battle Tiger.”

To him, twenty million was not an issue.

The money he had earned before hadn’t been used up, and he was still making money in the futures market and the stock market every day.

Wu Jin’s face lit up with surprise, “Mr.

Shen, are you really investing?

And investing twenty million?”

He could barely believe his own ears.

Shen Dong was not only investing, but he was investing not fifteen million, but twenty million.

Qin Haiyang was also surprised.

If Shen Dong really invested, then he had played a role in this, and perhaps Wu Jin would increase his role in the film.

Shen Dong nodded with a smile, “You heard right.

I have invested, I have invested twenty million, but I have one condition.”

The surprise in Wu Jin’s heart was made anxious again by Shen Dong’s words, and he asked, “Mr.

Shen, what condition?”

He was a bit worried that Shen Dong would be like that investor, trying to insert a young idol or a little red flower into the cast.

Qin Haiyang had already said that Shen Dong owned a broadcaster’s guild, and there were definitely broadcasters in the guild.

If Shen Dong wanted to insert a broadcaster into the movie, should he agree?

No, he couldn’t agree, even if it meant selling his car or house.

He had persisted for so long, he couldn’t give in at the last moment.

Otherwise, he would be letting himself down, his movie down, and the audience down in the future.
