Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 14: Attracting Investment is Actually Very Simple

$1000 million…

This is not a small number, even in 2024 it is a huge amount of money.

Of course, for some people, it's less than a small goal.

But for Lin Yuan now, this amount of money is absolutely an astronomical figure that is out of reach, enough to crush all his dreams.

"So if we don't have this money, we can only give up, right?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Don't worry, we will find a way to help you with this money."

As Director Cohen spoke, he handed Lin Yuan a bank card.

"You guys?" Lin Yuan was a little confused.

"There's $500 million in the card. $300 million of it is my savings, and the remaining $200 million was given to me by Fan and Paul after they heard about the situation."

"This is the first installment of money, which will be injected into the crew first. After the bank loan is approved in a while, I will help you advance the remaining 500 million."

After hearing Director Cohen's words, Lin Yuan felt that the heavy weight of love was a little hard to bear.

How could he have deserved such great help from them?

Although Vin Diesel is not his biological uncle, he and his father are best friends. It is understandable that he is willing to help him in this way based on his father's last request.

But what about Paul Walker?
Lin Yuan only had a few conversations with him after he risked his life in the action scene in "The Fast and the Furious." Why was he willing to pay to help him?
In any country and at any time, if someone is willing to lend you a lot of money, he must be the friend you should cherish the most.

Not to mention director Cohen, who has been absolutely working hard to help him recently.

Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't take the bank card, Director Cohen thought he still had concerns, so he comforted him:
"Don't worry about not being able to pay it back if you lose money. This is our investment, not a loan. If you really lose money, you don't have to pay it back."

Looking at the bank card handed to him by Director Cohen, Lin Yuan felt that there might be sand in his eyes.

Although he did not owe anyone any money today, he willingly took on the debt of gratitude.

The debt of favor cannot be repaid with money, but only with a lifetime of friendship.

But Lin Yuan still pushed the bank card back and motioned Director Cohen to listen to his explanation.

"Director, I sincerely thank you for your help. But this is my business, and I can't let you risk all your savings with me."

"Forest……"

"Director, please listen to me. Not accepting your money doesn't mean I'm giving up. In fact, I've long anticipated the need for additional investment, and I've also found a solution."

"Tell me how you're going to solve this? If it's not reliable, you have to accept our offer," Director Cohen insisted.

"I have an appointment with Mr. Eisen tonight. You know him, right? He will solve my financial problems."

"Ethan Miller? Although that old guy is very rich, he is not easy to deal with, especially in recent years. Do you have the confidence to convince him to invest?" asked Director Cohen.

"The fact that he agreed to meet with me means I'm already halfway to success. Director, please trust me and wait for my good news."

"Okay then, I'll go back first. Please tell me the good news as soon as possible."

"Director, take care!"

"Goodbye, Lin. And this beautiful Miss Liu, you are the most beautiful oriental girl I have ever seen."

Director Cohen said goodbye and left the coffee shop.

Lin Yuan continued to sit in his seat, waiting for Eisen Miller to arrive.

Mr. Eisen, 63, started his business by running a pastry shop when he was young and is now a famous Hollywood investor.

He owns an investment company with a capital of over 10 billion US dollars, which specializes in investing in the film industry chain, involving film production and upstream and downstream industries.

Over the past three decades, he has been instrumental in the creation of many successful commercial blockbusters, including Star Wars, Planet of the Apes, The Terminator, and True Lies.

But in recent years, he suddenly stopped investing in specific film projects.

No film could win his favor. Even when the great director Cameron was about to shoot "Titanic", he failed to convince him to invest. So the entire Hollywood film and television industry has completely given up on him.

But tonight Lin Yuan successfully made an appointment with him, but how did he convince him?
You can't just rely on your good looks, right?

After a while, a well-dressed old man walked in and sat down in front of Lin Yuan.

The old man is Mr. Eisen.

Mr. Eisen looked like an old-fashioned gentleman straight out of a movie. His gray hair was meticulously combed back, and his exquisite clothes were custom-made to fit him perfectly. His wrinkled face had a stern expression, giving people a sense of awe without even being angry.

After sitting down, he didn't say hello or introduce himself, but just stared at Lin Yuan coldly without saying a word.

His eyes moved up and down, looking at Lin Yuan from head to toe, like a wolf locking onto its prey, with a chilling feeling coming towards him.

The temperature at the scene seemed to drop several degrees in an instant. Liu Yufei, who was standing by, felt the atmosphere and couldn't help but feel worried.

What's with this disdainful attitude towards communication?
Could it be that he has any ill intentions towards Lin Yuan?

It's already difficult for a Chinese actor to make his way in Hollywood, and if he is targeted by such a big shot, there will be no way out.

But Lin Yuan didn't care at all. He also looked directly at the other person in response.

But Lin Yuan's eyes were clear and without any aggression.

The two looked at each other for a long time, but neither spoke.

At this time, Mr. Eisen stood up from his chair and seemed to be ready to turn and leave.

When Liu Yufei thought that the meeting tonight was over, Mr. Eisen spoke.

"How much difference do you have?"

"$1500 million."

Without asking any questions, he took out a checkbook from his pocket, quickly signed it and handed it to Lin Yuan.

Then he turned and walked out.

Until this point, Liu Yufei was still confused.

"Is that it?"

"Yes, didn't you see it?"

"No, this is 1500 million US dollars. I'm giving it to you just like that?" Liu Yufei suddenly felt that the world was absurd.

"Because I know witchcraft, I put a curse on him. His brain is controlled by me." Lin Yuan replied with a smile.

"Do you think I'm stupid? How can you be an action actor with this kind of weird stuff? Why don't you just go and rule the world!" Tianxian rolled her eyes.

"You want to know the real reason?"

"miss you!"

"Promise me a favor and I'll tell you!"

"We cannot violate the law and morality." Tianxian carefully set up a firewall.

"Deal! All I ask is that you wear white silk stockings next time we meet."

"Hey~ You men are really... Tell me how you managed to deal with Mr. Eisen."

A blush flashed across Liu Yufei's face, but curiosity took over at the moment.

"Because I gave him what an old man needs most - youth!"

As Lin Yuan gave the answer, Liu Yufei's eyes became even more suspicious!
