In Jiang Chen's words, Xu Qing's actions were very fast, but this time, the excited people were not excited, but completely dumbfounded.
He was truly stunned.
At this moment, whether it was the investors, the film industry, or the companies, it was the same.
Because at this moment, the information Jiang Chen released was completely different from what they imagined.
It was just as they had expected.
The content of the message was very simple.
There was no doubt that Dahan Film and Bona Film were investing five billion to film a large-scale historical war drama. They were now collecting funds from the outside world. This would also be Dahan Film and Jiang Chen's second film.
Dumbfounded.
He was truly dumbfounded.
Even those who did not think about it were left dumbfounded. Their thoughts could not flow at all.
The second part of Pangu's Genesis?
A prehistoric movie?
A small profit without a loss?
Alright, they seemed to be thinking too much.
It wasn't the second movie, nor was it a prehistoric movie. It was a historical drama, and it was a historical war drama.
"This!"
"This!"
"What's wrong?"
Some investors were whispering, but they did not know what words to use to describe their feelings at this moment. It was even better to put 10,000-year-old ice into boiling oil, and it instantly cooled down from head to toe. Many people's actions came to an abrupt stop. They were about to make a phone call when they stopped.
How could these people not know the trend of the film industry in the entire Huaxia region?
Well, even if it wasn't clear, just look at last year's movie, which was played by Hong Jinbao and Zhao Wenzhuo. The dismal box office sales were a warning to anyone who came later.
This was the case for both the producers and the investors.
Of course, if that was all, that would be it.
After all, just relying on Jiang Chen's name alone, it could sweep through a lot of box office sales.
However, this 5 billion investment was enough to dispel anyone's thoughts.
With such a huge investment, let alone an unpopular war drama, they would probably hesitate even in the Wilderness, let alone a war drama. There was almost no need to consider.
Five billion, this was five billion. Even in the history of Hollywood, there had never been such a huge investment, let alone China. How much did they have to invest and how much did they need to earn at the box office to return the money?
The Department of Operations would split the profits, except for taxes and all other expenses.
10 billion, he needed a whole 10 billion.
And it would take at least ten billion to recoup the cost. The box office of Pangu's creation of the world was only ten billion, but in the entire Chinese film industry, no, in the entire world, there were several films that were worth ten billion. Even if Jiang Chen showed his "miracle", no one wanted to believe that this "miracle" would continue because it was impossible.
"Crazy, he's really crazy!”
"Dammit, what is he planning to do?”
"This!"
"He's preparing to die!"
Some people cursed, some people roared, and even more people stopped what they were doing. As "smart" people, they wisely chose to avoid this kind of "stupid" thing, at least to them.
For a moment, the entire Dahan Film Company seemed to have become much closer.
Jiang Chen naturally felt it.
Just as he had said before, it was fine to have a share of the profits. He pursued higher goals and did not mind bringing others along. However, even if he did not mind, it would depend on whether someone had the courage.
He had given them a chance, but whether they could seize it or not was up to them.
As for the box office earnings, he was not worried at all. The box office earnings in China were definitely enough to make a profit. Not to mention, there was still the entire East Asian market and the global market that was about to be opened up by Pangu Genesis. Not to mention 10 billion, his expectations for the second movie were far higher than the first. After all, the two were not on the same level at all.
"Everyone, this is your chance!”
Jiang Chen sipped his tea. He didn't seem to care about the shock of the entire industry, and it was true.
Although what Yu Dong said was not wrong, and he had even done so, he was not willing to give anyone a chance. This was his extended "hand." If he grabbed it, there would be a chance. If he couldn't grab it, then he was embarrassed.
As for if no one had a choice.
So what?
One path, one person, could do the same.
Confidence was also conceited. This was given to him by the system, and it was also the absolute confidence that Jiang Chen possessed.
Yu Dong's considerations were indeed correct, but the two sides were not on the same level after all, and the confidence of the owner could not be whispered on the same day, so naturally, the way they looked at things was completely different.
Just like at this moment, Jiang Chen was extremely relaxed, but Yu Dong was also dumbfounded like everyone else.
"This!"
"This!"
He looked at the message and couldn't speak for a long time. At this moment, he suddenly remembered his investment. Originally, he didn't think too much about the 500 million Jiang Chen gave him a 10% share (he wrote it wrong before, it should be 500 million 10% has been changed), but now when the data appeared, his heart couldn't help but beat violently.
Five billion, this was five billion. It was not Korean won, nor was it Japanese yen. It was RMB. If converted to US dollars, it would be more than 700 million US dollars.
Even in this era, Hollywood's investment was only about 200 million to 300 million dollars. Compared to 700 million dollars, it was almost three times less. It had even broken through the largest investment in history.
In Yu Dong's memory, even the current investment technology, the Soviet version of War and Peace, took five years to complete in 1968. The cost was as high as 560 million US dollars. Of course, that was in 1968. The money back then was even more valuable, but even so, this data was enough to scare anyone.
To be honest, even he, who was involved, was shocked.
However, at the same time as he was shocked, he recalled the exquisite production and the vast scene. It seemed to have become a matter of course at this moment. After all, just the mention of the Great Han Empire's Imperial Palace left him speechless, not to mention the fact that there were 100,000 people filming it. Such a scene was extremely rare even in the history of the world, let alone in Chinese movies.
After taking a few deep breaths, Yu Dong calmed himself down a little. His right hand paused a little. At this moment, he didn't even know if he should pick up the phone.
After all, this was not what he had thought before. At this point, it seemed that it would be difficult to continue with his previous plans. That terrifying investment had even scared him, let alone others who did not understand it at all.
But since the investment had been announced, he didn't suspect Jiang Chen was lying, so it was hard to say. He couldn't ask Jiang Chen to increase the investment ratio, right? It was unrealistic, and he couldn't do that at all.
This was not only for Jiang Chen, but also for himself.
