"Yang, are you really going to invest in 'Brokeback Mountain'? Oh my god, this is such a big surprise, a huge surprise!"
In the spacious and bright café, where there were not many customers, James Schamus lifted his coffee cup, sipped it, pressing down the excitement in his heart with the bitter taste. This 44-year-old Caucasian middle-aged man wore black round glasses, his thinning hair graying, and his prominent hooked nose turned red with excitement. Though they had already confirmed it over the phone, Schamus was still overwhelmed with emotion now that he saw Wang Yang nodding in agreement in person.
For 'Brokeback Mountain', he'd been pulling in investors for so long! Apart from Focus Features showing some interest, other film companies nearly all avoided it like the plague, but Focus was only willing to invest three million. What could you shoot with three million? At least ten million was needed! He'd nearly reached the point of wanting to empty his own pockets to shoot it.
