Chapter 210 The big four was played at home, and the Red Devils fans next door were crying!

Guo Fan is very talkative, and Lin Quan is not an introvert.

After finishing the meal, the two of them had already begun to call themselves brothers.

"Good brother, brother, I really admire you. You can make such a big name in football, unlike me, who is so useless that I can't even find investors when I make a movie, so I have to beg for help everywhere. It's shameful, shameful. !"

"Brother Guo, what movie are you going to make? Why do you need so much money?"

"Hi, I have always had a science fiction dream, so I have dreamed of making a science fiction film since I was a child. But you also know that the cost of special effects production for good science fiction films is very high. We cannot afford to hire big Hollywood studios. We can only hire domestic manufacturers, but domestic manufacturers lack experience in this area. It will cost a lot of money to organize and integrate them.

During this period, there was a lot of trial and error costs. After one film, I feel that at least 3.5 small goals are needed! "

"The unit is not US dollars, right?"

"How can you do that? US$350 million is the production cost of a top Hollywood blockbuster. If you give me such a large-cost project, I wouldn't dare to take it on!"

Director Guo, who has only filmed one film of The Adventures of Li Xianji so far, is still relatively young. Although he has science fiction dreams, he does not have much confidence in his own abilities.

And the most important thing is that he has no money!

It would be difficult to make such a costly industrial blockbuster without money!

"Then why don't you first make a film that meets the current market demand, accumulate some experience and capital, and then pursue your dream?"

Lin Quan was good at tempting, but who knew that Guo Fan had already planned this.

Hearing Lin Quan's words, he slapped his thigh suddenly and said:

"My close friend, brother, you really understand me!"

"To tell you the truth, I currently have a script for a youth romance film in my hand. This type of film is currently popular in the domestic film market.

I've calculated that if we don't hire those top stars, but hire some second-tier or newly graduated young actors, the production cost can be controlled within 20 million. After the movie is released, as long as the box office exceeds 60 million, we can make money! "

Lin Quan was a little surprised after hearing this. This guy has a strong ability to control project costs!

No wonder domestic science fiction blockbusters can be successful in his hands. This is inseparable from his personal ability.

Lin Quan remembers that the cost of "The Wandering Earth" released in 2019 was less than 400 million, and the final box office was as high as 4.6 billion, and the producer received more than 1.6 billion in revenue.

In other words, the investor received a 400% return rate!

No matter what industry you are in, if you get a return of 4 times in two years, this return on investment is astonishingly high!

Thinking of this, Lin Quan said:

"Brother Guo, I am very interested in the booming film market in China and would like to make some investments in this area. Since you have such financial needs, how about we set up a company and I will sponsor you to make this film?" Movie, how about it?"

"Is this true?"

Guo Fan's eyes lit up, as if he had found a life-saving straw, he stared into Lin Quan's eyes and asked.

"A gentleman's words are hard to follow. Of course, I'm talking about the 20 million movie, not the 400 million movie!"

Lin Quan was afraid of being beaten by the alms master, so he quickly identified the investment project.

"Okay, okay, just invest in the first one!"

The script of the science fiction film he wanted to make still lacked polish, and the studios that produced special effects also needed to contact and communicate with them in advance. There was no rush, so he wanted to finish filming the film in front of him first!

If even this movie fails, how can he dare to spend 300-400 million yuan to make a high-cost science fiction film?

"Then it's settled. I'll ask my agent to go to China with you to go through the relevant procedures later. How much funds do you currently lack?"

"If the cost is 20 million, I have scraped together almost 8 million myself, and there is still a shortfall of 12 million!"

"Okay, I'll spend the 12 million. If I make money in the future, we'll split it 50-50, how about it?"

Although Lin Quan invested more money, he was the hands-off shopkeeper.

Guo Fan has to do all the filming himself. Taking into account his labor and director's fees, the two people's investment is about the same, 50-50 is very fair!

Lin Quan thought this was fair, but Guo Fan thought it was too unfair.

"Brother, this is not good!"

"What's wrong? Is the score low? How about I have four and you have six?"

"No, no, no, I mean, you invested 4 million more than me. According to the ratio, it should be four to me and six to you. You gave me 10% for free. How can I feel comfortable with this?"

Although Cyberdaji likes to beg alms, she is still a very decent person.

"Then let's each take a step back, 55% for me and 45% for you. Is that okay?"

Guo Fan was not a hypocritical person. When he heard what Lin Quan said, he immediately nodded in agreement:

"Then it's settled!"

After solving the matter that had troubled him for a long time, Guo Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally, I have solved this problem in my heart. After shooting the last commercial for Mr. Yu at the end of this month, I will go back to China to select the filming location and actors, set up the frame as soon as possible, and start shooting when everything is ready."

The assistant on the side interjected: "This last commercial is not easy to shoot. Mr. Yu asked to connect the three elements of music, family love and mobile phones. I really can't think of any good ideas!"

Guo Fan scratched his head when he heard the assistant's words. He said that the money given here was a lot, but the requirements were also very high.

It's easier to say that when shooting commercials for celebrities like Lin Quan, there are fixed templates that can be used.

But those advertisements that allow them to express themselves freely are difficult to do.

When Lin Quan heard the conversation between the two, his heart moved, and he thought of a music advertisement that was widely circulated in later generations - "Dreams Come True".

"Brother Guo, I have an idea, do you think it will work?"

Lin Quan expressed his thoughts and hummed the main melody of the song.

After hearing this, everyone was full of praise:

"This is good!"

"The content of this story is so touching!"

"The songs are also very nice!"

"If this is aired, it will definitely become a tearjerker!"

Guo Fan was also a little surprised. The main idea expressed in Lin Quan's story was completely consistent with the manufacturer's requirements!

Moreover, integrating mobile phones into it is not obtrusive at all. It can even integrate several generations of mobile phones according to the changes in the timeline in the story. While showing the heroine's progress through unremitting persistence and hard work, it can also reflect the mobile phone manufacturers. Remitting efforts and continuous progress to meet user needs!

"How about it, Brother Guo, does this idea work?"

Guo Fan gave Lin Quan a thumbs up:

"Brother Lin, it would be too unfair of you not to be a screenwriter!"

"Haha, Brother Guo is so impressed. I actually know someone as a candidate for the advertisement. She comes from a musical family and her father is a famous musician. I think she fits the requirements of this advertisement very well."

Guo Fan is a good person and knows how to repay kindness in return.

If the other party takes the initiative to help you, then he must give feedback.

"It's better this way. It saves me the trouble, so I'll leave it to you!"

…

After returning to his residence, Lin Quan immediately sent a message to Lily Collins, saying that he had a surprise for her.

But the answer will have to wait until the end of the tenth round of the league!

"What kind of surprise? What a surprise!"

She tried to ask, but the other person was very tight-lipped and didn't say even a word.

And the more this happened, the more curious she became.

On the day of the game, Lily Collins arrived in Manchester early. After checking in, she walked into the Etihad Stadium for the first time.

Her seat was in the stands close to the stadium. Along the way from the entrance, she met many friendly Manchester City fans.

After seeing her, these fans gave her a friendly smile and seemed particularly welcoming to her arrival.

"Lin's girlfriend is here, we will definitely win today, right?"

"Hehe, that goes without saying. I don't know about others. As long as Lin sees his girlfriend sitting on the sidelines, why doesn't he use all his strength?"

"Suddenly I felt a little sympathy for Norwich, having met such a terrifying Lin!"

It really made Manchester City fans guess right.

In this game, Manchester City completely took the initiative from the first minute of the game.

And Lin Quan's performance was as outstanding as ever.

In the 17th minute of the game, his shot after dribbling into the penalty area caused an own goal by the opponent's defender. Manchester City led Norwich 1-0.

In the 20th minute, Lin Quan and Aguero completed a collision with the wall. He broke into the penalty area and faced the attacking goalkeeper, and calmly pushed the ball into the goal. The score was rewritten to 2:0.

In the 36th minute, Lin Quan sent a cross after continuous passes from the wing. Negredo's shot was blocked by the goalkeeper. Lin Quan followed up and shot a smart follow-up shot to complete the hat trick.

The game lasted just over thirty minutes, and Lin Quan had already scored three goals.

In addition, he also assisted teammate Nastasic to score a goal in the 25th minute.

The first half is not over yet, and Manchester City is already leading Norwich 4:0.

Manchester City's powerful firepower shocked all commentators who explained the game.

"Haha, Norwich are so unlucky. They met Manchester City, who had just been tied by Chelsea. Everyone in the team was filled with anger."

"If I had met Manchester City earlier, maybe it wouldn't have been so miserable!"

He Wei felt a little sympathetic to Norwich. They were originally ranked third from the bottom in terms of points. After this game, it was okay not to score a point, and the goal difference would be deducted by at least four.

And with Manchester City's momentum, it won't be difficult to score two or three more goals in the second half.

Norwich only scored 6 goals in the first 10 games, while Manchester City scored more goals in one game than they did in ten games!

"Yes, Norwich is lying on its back, but Chelsea's life is not easy either. In another game that started at the same time, Chelsea, who are playing away from home, are currently trailing Newcastle 0:2."

"This game has entered injury time. Chelsea should be unable to recover. Mourinho's team will suffer its second defeat of the season and the team's points will fall out of the top four. name."

When Xu Yang saw the score, he wondered if he had seen it wrong.

Mourinho's side looked strong against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.

Why were they defeated by a mid-table team like Newcastle on the road?

After taking a look at the technical statistics, Chelsea's ball possession rate is dominant.

But in terms of shooting data, they are at an absolute disadvantage.

Newcastle took a total of 15 shots and 8 of them hit the target.

Chelsea took 13 shots, but only 2 hit the door frame.

The two teams have almost the same number of shots, but the difference in the number of shots on target is really huge.

This makes people have to wonder whether Chelsea's forwards have practiced their shooting skills well and whether they can shoot?

"Chelsea's forward problem still seems to have not been solved. Torres was misfired again in this game. Hazard, Willian, Oscar, Schürrle, Eto'o and others also failed to score, including the Champions League group stage. In the loss to Basel, they have been kept clean by their opponents three times."

"If you include the games they drew, Chelsea had 4 games this season where they scored 0 goals!"

This kind of data doesn't look like the data of a strong team at all.

Even if you score a goal, as long as you can hold on and don't lose, you can still get three points steadily at one to zero.

But if you don't score a single goal, you can only score one point even if you defend your own goal.

Does Chelsea want to win the league title by drawing?

Back to Manchester City, after the start of the second half, as He Wei said, Manchester City was still attacking Norwich's goal.

In the 60th minute, Yaya Toure also opened the scoring.

In the 72nd minute, Lin Quan assisted Aguero and scored another goal.

The score has reached an exaggerated 6:0!

The Norwich players were beaten to the point of despair and began to doubt their lives on the court.

In the 78th minute, Lin Quan scored another goal, rewriting the score to 7:0, and also completed the feat of four goals.

Subsequently, he and Aguero were replaced one after another.

When Lin Quan came off the field, Manchester City fans stood up and applauded him.

Today's hearty victory made the fans who came to watch the game roar with joy!

Since the start of this season, Manchester City still maintains a winning record at home.

As strong as Bayern Munich, they did not take any advantage at their home court.

This makes Manchester City fans very proud!

The outstanding record has also boosted Manchester City's football market. For the last few games of Manchester City, the supply of tickets at the Etihad Stadium has simply exceeded demand.

The attendance rate for every game is close to 100%!

The stadium, which can accommodate 55,000 people, actually seems a bit too small at this time.

So much so that every time there is a game, a large group of fans gather outside the stadium who cannot buy tickets and cannot enter to watch the game.

This makes Manchester City fans want to borrow the Old Trafford next door!

This hot football market is unprecedented in the history of Manchester City.

In the past, although Manchester City also had a group of die-hard fans, their number was far less than that of Manchester United next door.

Even after the Middle Eastern consortium took over Manchester City, their attendance was still low, far less than that of Manchester City next door.

But this year, everything is different.

Manchester City's outstanding record not only attracted die-hard fans to watch the game live, but also attracted many international fans to watch the game.

Many of these fans come for Lin Quan, and most of them have Asian faces.

To this end, Manchester City has even added a Chinese ticket booking option on its official website to facilitate these fans to purchase tickets online to watch the game.

Compared with the hot Manchester City football market, Manchester United's football market began to decline after Ferguson retired.

Old Trafford has seen a significant decline in attendance recently, from 100% to around 90%.

Of course, considering that Old Trafford has 76,000 seats, this attendance rate is still very scary.

But Dream Theater tickets are at least not as hard to come by as before.

However, as Manchester United's record continues to decline, this data may continue to decline.

Although the fans of the Red Devils are very loyal, no matter how loyal the fans are, they will be disappointed one day.

Especially compared with the glorious history of the Ferguson era, Manchester United's current situation is obviously unsatisfactory.

At this time, looking at the team that they once considered a "noisy neighbor", the Red Devils fans couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

And many Red Devils fans feel that between them and Manchester City, there is just one less Lin Quan!

If Lin Quan had chosen Manchester United instead of Manchester City, the result would definitely be different from now!
