Chapter 320: If You Want to Fight, Let’s Fight!
After sending CEO Qian away, Lin Fan also received his first investment in The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3.
Forty-three million had been wired into the company’s bank account.
Apart from that, a few other investors came to work with Lin Fan.
“Boss Lin, CEO Li of L’Oréal wants to invest in our The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3. Moreover, CEO Li of L’Oréal hopes to find a spokesperson in our company,” Su Muqing said.
“And now the CEO of L’Oréal is downstairs.” Su Muqing looked at Lin Fan.
“Sure, come with me to welcome him.” Lin Fan smiled.
To his surprise, The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 had attracted quite a few investors in the beginning.
L’Oréal was also one of the top ten makeup brands in the world.
“Hello, Boss Lin. I’m Li Qian. I’m here to discuss something with you.”
“We’re all already aware of your ability to create television series. Almost every one of them is going to be a hit. That’s why L’Oreal is here to invest fifty million in your TV series.”
“In the meantime, I’m also looking for a big star from your company to be the sole spokesperson for L’Oréal. The offer is twenty-six million. Do you have a suitable female star?” asked CEO Li of L’Oréal.
...
“Would Lin Jingjing be okay?” Lin Fan said.
Now, Xu Yang and Lin Jingjing had also joined his company.
He had yet to give Xu Yang and Lin Jingjing any endorsements. The company had just started. If a proper company came to look for Lin Fan for spokespeople, Lin Fan would not reject them.
Any employee of Jiaxing Entertainment could participate in endorsements.

As long as they went to film the endorsement, the company could earn money, and Lin Fan could also earn a lot of money.
“Of course. Thank you, Boss Lin.” Li Qian smiled and shook his hand.
Another contract was signed.
L’Oréal was also a very good brand. Being able to participate in such an endorsement would benefit the star herself.
Xia Wanqiu and Su Xiaoyu already had a cosmetics endorsement, so Lin Fan gave this opportunity to Lin Jingjing.
As for Su Muqing, she was still Lin Fan’s assistant and had yet to become a big star.
If she became a big star, she would have all the endorsements and jobs she needed.
This time, the company received 76 million yuan!
The investment in the third season of the Legend of the Sword and Fairy had also reached 90 million yuan!
Getting so much investment in half a day was a good start.
However, to Lin Fan’s surprise, no investors came to look for him in the next half a day.
“Boss Lin, the investors who originally wanted to invest in The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 have all left this afternoon. They’ve changed their minds,” Su Muqing said.
“Why?” Lin Fan’s eyes narrowed.
He had thought that filming a television series would not be so difficult.
With his current status in the entertainment industry, it should be very easy to rope in many investors.
The two investors had already pulled in 90 million yuan, but in less than half a day, all the investors had left.
Without investors, there would be no starting capital for the television series.
In that case, the TV show would die before it even started filming.
Su Muqing raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Lin Fan. She said, “Boss Lin, it’s because of the success of Huace Pictures’ last television drama, ‘The Genius Lawyer’. Its results even surpassed the first season of the Legend of the Sword and Fairy.”
“And today, Huace Pictures is starting to raise money. The television series they’re going to shoot is called Chinese Paladin. It’s also a Xianxia drama. It claims to have cutting-edge filming technology. It’s going to be a real Xianxia masterpiece. The investors like Huace Pictures better.”
“Because Huace Pictures is an established entertainment company. In terms of strength and foundation, they are stronger than our company. The investors of their previous film have also seen their results.”
“Those investors are more willing to choose Huace Pictures than our Jiaxing Entertainment,” Su Muqing said.
“Yes, I understand.” Lin Fan nodded.
Sure enough, the attack from Huace Pictures had come.
Such an attack was enough to bring down any entertainment company.
If Jiaxing Entertainment was a company with insufficient capital, it would undoubtedly be extremely difficult to film the third season of the Legend of the Sword and Fairy.
Previously, when he was at Yuehua Entertainment, although Yuehua Entertainment could not compare to Huace Pictures, it was still a large entertainment company.
Now that Jiaxing Entertainment had just been established, Lin Fan didn’t have much money in his account.
If they wanted to film the third season of the Legend of the Sword and Fairy, they would need the support of many investors before they could really start filming.
Since Lin Fan started his own company, he had to pay the actors and employees.
The actors had to be paid well.
The most important thing about filming a Xianxia drama was the special effects.
The special effects were burning money every second. Without money, it was impossible to film a Xianxia drama.
This move by Huace Pictures almost drove Jiaxing Entertainment into a corner.
If Jiaxing Entertainment couldn’t take it, it would be impossible to film the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3.
.
Before it even started, Lin Fan’s company was already checkmated vy Huace Pictures.
90 million was impossible to make into the Legend of the Sword and Fairy 3.
Filming a TV series, all the staff, actors, and building scenes, hiring various martial arts masters to teach the actor, post-production, dubbing and so on… all required a lot of money.
Ninety million wasn’t even enough to pay the actors.
The TV series produced by Huace Pictures happened to be called Chinese Paladin.
He was going to completely suppress Jiaxing Entertainment.
Lin Fan saw how arrogant and domineering Huace Pictures was.
“Boss Lin, the CEO of Huace Pictures, Liu Xian, called. He wants to talk to you,” Su Muqing said.
Lin Fan took the phone and heard the CEO of Huace Pictures, Liu Xian, say, “Boss Lin, long time no see. How have you been?”
Lin Fan said, “ran into trouble?”
Liu Xian smiled and said, “I’m not deliberately targeting your company. It’s the investors’ choice to choose us. It has nothing to do with our company. Boss Lin, I’m not declaring war on you this time. I’m discussing cooperation with you.”
“Give us the script you’ve written. Our two companies will build a TV series together. We’ll split the profits 30-70. We’ll take care of all the investors and manpower costs. That’ll achieve a win-win. What do you think?”
Lin Fan’s eyes narrowed. “That’s all? I get thirty percent of the profits just by producing actors and script? When did Boss Liu become so generous?”
Liu Xian laughed. “Of course, there’s a condition. Lin Kexin is your artiste now. I heard that she signed a five-year contract with you. You can control her life and death.”
“You just have to let her stay with me for one night. I’m sure she’ll be willing to do the same for her future. If you agree, Huace Pictures will always be friends with Jiaxing Entertainment and will never target Jiaxing Entertainment.”
“But if you refuse, it’s a question of whether your The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 will be successful or attract investors,” Liu Xian said.
Lin Fan felt disgusted by Liu Xian’s request.
Was there such a person in this day and age?
Lin Fan didn’t consider himself a saint. He wouldn’t have no feelings for pretty girls.
However, Lin Fan would always stick to one principle.
No matter how beautiful the girls were, he couldn’t just bully them.
If he wasn’t such a person, he would have bullied Lin Kexin hundreds of times.
If he signed Lin Kexin, the company would take good care of her. Lin Kexin would also make money for the company.
Meanwhile, Liu Xian from Huace Pictures was still thinking about Lin Kexin and her body.
Since he was the one who signed the girl, Lin Kexin was equivalent to Lin Fan’s woman.
Would Lin Fan agree to let her go and let Lin Kexin accompany Liu Xian?
Not to mention giving Lin Fan so many benefits, even if he was given a lot of cash, Lin Fan would not agree to such a thing.
“Boss Liu, I forgot to tell you.”
“Jiaxing Entertainment is not short of investors or money. If you want a war, you’re welcome to start it.”
“As for the people from my company, I hope Boss Liu won’t have any more ideas. The people from the company are my people. You targeting Lin Kexin is equivalent to targeting me,” Lin Fan said calmly.
Liu Xian was silent for a moment. He did not expect Lin Fan to refuse. “Since you don’t know what’s good for you, let’s fight.”
He hung up before Lin Fan could finish.
During this time, Lin Kexin happened to be behind Lin Fan. It was very quiet. She heard all the phone records of Lin Fan and Liu Xian.
Su Muqing had already left the office.
Lin Kexin’s eyes turned red as she looked at Lin Fan with tears in her eyes.
“Brother Lin Fan, thank you…”
“Thank you for your trust. And for your protection.”
“I will definitely work hard. I will definitely not disappoint you,” Lin Kexin said. Her beautiful eyes looked at Lin Fan, filled with gratitude.
With Lin Fan around, for some reason, Lin Kexin could feel a sense of security.
She knew that Lin Fan would never harm her, much less bully her.
“Well, work hard. You work for Jiaxing. If anyone bullies you, come to me.”
“Others don’t dare to offend others, but I do.” Lin Fan smiled calmly and looked at Lin Kexin with a gentle smile.
.
After all, Lin Kexin was a celebrity that he had personally signed a contract with. She was also the school belle of the Beijing Film Academy. Needless to say, she was the kind of person who would attract countless people on the streets.
She was such a pure and innocent girl. No wonder Liu Xian kept thinking about her.
“Yes, yes ~” Lin Kexin nodded obediently.
“But Huace Pictures will continue to target our company for the company’s investment,” Lin Kexin said.
“I’m not afraid. Your boss is the boss of Estée Lauder. How can there be no investors?” Lin Fan smiled, looking calm.
“Oh, I remember now.”
“The market value of Estée Lauder is already 500 billion!” Lin Kexin said.
Lin Fan smiled brightly and looked at Lin Kexin, feeling a little warm.
If he didn’t see Xia Wanqiu and Su Xiaoyu every day, who could resist a pure and beautiful girl like Lin Kexin?
Lin Fan called Estee Lauder.
Since Huace Pictures was going to war with him, so be it!
