I’m Really a Superstar

one day. m.

Two days.

Zhang Ye started busy raising money.

I called one after another and asked all the questions.

…

"Hey, Mr. Zhou."

"It's Teacher Zhang, haha."

"I want to make a movie, are you interested?"

"Huh? Making a movie? That's a good thing. I'm a little interested."

"Then I'll ask you to invest in Lala."

"Who are you cooperating with this time? Director Li Ke? Is Director Li still trying to attract investment?"

"No, I filmed it myself, directed and acted."

"What? Take the photo yourself?"

"right."

"this--"

…

"Mr. Hu, there's something wrong."

"Teacher Zhang, tell me."

"Invest in me."

"Investment? You want to make a TV series again? Haha, do you still need to raise investment for your TV series? Just say it and we will directly invest the money."

"This time it's not a TV series, it's a movie."

"You want to make a movie?"

"right."

"Uh, what, forget about movies. The box office in the domestic movie market is a bit sluggish right now, so we don't want to touch this field for the time being."

"Okay, then I'll ask someone else."

…

"Mr. Chen, how are you doing?"

"Do you really want to make a movie?"

"Of course it's true."

"You want an investment of 200 million?"

"At least two hundred million."

"More than 200 million, is that a 3D movie? Is it your first time to direct a movie in 3D? Teacher Zhang, it's not that we don't believe in your ability. With 200 million, we as a company really can't come up with it, otherwise How many millions should we pay? Can you find a dozen more companies to share the risk?"

"Forget it."

…

One family.

Five.

Ten.

Zhang Ye asked almost all the investment companies and film companies he knew in the entertainment industry, but he didn't get any money. Everyone was either scared away by Zhang Ye's intention to become a movie director or scared away by the title of the movie. The worst thing is that they are scared away by the huge amount of investment in 3D movies. Although there are people who are willing to pay, they can only provide a few million at most, which is a drop in the bucket. If it really takes millions and millions to pull back the investment, then the capital will The number of people is too large and complex. When the time comes, every employer will be dictating, and Zhang Ye will not be able to film.

No money?

What to do?

You can't do anything without money.

Home.

Zhang Ye walked around the room with his hands behind his back.

My parents are here today, as are my father-in-law and mother-in-law.

My mother was surprised and said, "Do you really want to make a movie?"

Zhang Ye said: "Of course it's true, I've already finished the script."

"You have never filmed before." Dad said helplessly: "Even if you want to fight with that Hollywood director, you can't gamble with this."

Zhang Ye smiled and said: "Not just for fighting spirit, I also want to do something for domestic films."

Li Qinqin asked worriedly: "No one has invested money yet?"

Zhang Ye hummed, "I am mainly not affiliated with an entertainment company. I have been working alone since I debuted. This is my first time making a movie. It is normal for management not to trust me, and most of them have their own director work. If people want to make a movie, they will definitely focus on directors and stars from their own company, and since it is a 3D movie, the investment is relatively large, so they may have concerns."

Mom said: "Don't talk about them, I have concerns."

Zhang Ye said angrily: "Mom, you don't trust me too much."

Mom rolled her eyes, "You're going to make a movie right now. Who can you trust?"

"How can you shoot if you can't attract investment?" Wu Changhe asked.

Zhang Ye spread his hands and said, "I'll figure it out myself. At worst, I'll pay for the pictures myself." He made some calculations and said,

"The sales are very good, and I have made a lot of money from royalties. I have about 30 million now. Adding the little money I had before, I should be able to get more than 30 million."

At this time, Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo and the others also arrived.

Ha Qiqi asked with concern: "Did you get it?"

Zhang Ye shook his head and asked, "How much funding does our studio still have?"

Ha Qiqi was startled and looked at Zhang Zuo.

Zhang Zuo is in charge of internal affairs. He said: "The studio doesn't have much money. What it can afford should be around three to five million."

Zhang Ye said: "Including myself, the total is 40 million."

Xiao Wang was stunned, "You want to fund it yourself?"

Zhang Ye said: "What else should we do?"

Tong Fu coughed and said, "Director Zhang, either way, otherwise forget it."

Zhang Ye rolled his eyes and said, "That won't work, this scene must be filmed!"

Wu Zeqing was playing with his children. Hearing this, he said calmly: "I'll get you some."

Zhang Ye immediately said: "No need!"

Dad also said: "Your mother and I also have one or two million in savings."

"Oops." Zhang Ye said: "I don't need your money, and this little money is not enough. Don't worry about it. I will think of a way and I will definitely get it together. I still don't believe it!"

That was Wolf Warrior 2, his world-famous box office movie. Although Zhang Ye skipped Wolf Warrior 1 and shot the second movie directly, it was a bit risky, but he had already planned it. On his earth, In fact, not everyone went to watch 2 after watching 1. Many people watched 2 directly, and it didn't have much impact. Slight changes in some scripts can completely avoid this abruptness and make it a A very independent work.

But now?

Unable to attract investment?

Zhang Ye himself didn't know whether to laugh or cry!

…

After meal.

The father-in-law and mother-in-law went home.

On the way, Li Qinqin suddenly said: "Changhe."

"What for?" Wu Changhe asked.

Li Qinqin said: "I want to discuss something with you."

…

Two more days passed.

Discussions are all over the world's web.

"Commando is on."

"Yeah, looking forward to it."

"The box office will definitely not be low."

"Whoever releases it at the same time will be in trouble."

"Director Wilson's commercial use is now becoming more and more mature."

"Haha, there is no news about that Chinese guy now."

"Well, his journey to the international entertainment industry will only end here."

"That's right. Hollywood has shut him out. What else can he do? If he wants to develop in the international entertainment industry, movies are a link that no one can get around."

…

On the road.

in the car.

Zhang Ye has also seen a lot of international news and has turned on his phone, so he still has a sense of urgency in his heart. Of course he has reason to believe that he can destroy those with the same military theme, but the problem now is that no one except himself believes it, no one dares to believe it!

Will domestic films destroy Hollywood blockbusters?

Are Chinese directors destroying Hollywood directors?

This sounds like a fantasy!

Anyone who heard this thought Zhang Ye was bragging!

Therefore, Zhang Ye's investment has not been settled yet.

Sad!

Sad!

Ahead, the car drove home.

Zhang Ye got out of the car and took the key to open the door. As soon as he entered the house, he found that his family members were all there. Today was the weekend and his wife didn't go to work.

handwashing.

Start the meal.

The family sat together and started eating.

Mom asked: "You haven't gotten the money yet?"

Zhang Ye said depressedly: "These investors are too short-sighted."

Wu Changhe curled his lips and said, "It's because you are playing too much."

Dad sighed with emotion: "He doesn't know who to follow his bold temper."

Mom hummed, "You won't follow me anyway."

"Oh, do you want to join me?" Dad was depressed.

The whole family laughed.

Only Zhang Ye didn't smile. He was still thinking about the funds, absent-mindedly.

At this time, my mother took out a card and slapped it on the table, "Here."

Zhang Ye was stunned for a moment, "What?"

Dad said: "My and your mother's savings are two million."

Zhang Ye smacked his lips, "Oh, no need."

Mom hummed, "We don't have any more, just this much savings."

Zhang Ye was about to speak.

After Wu Zeqing over there had fed her daughter, she suddenly took out a bank card from her pocket, pushed it in front of Zhang Ye, and said calmly: "There are 90 million in it."

The words shocked everyone!

Zhang Ye was stunned, "What?"

My mother also opened her mouth wide, "Ninety million?"

Zhang Ye said anxiously: "Damn it, where did you get the money?"

Old Wu said casually: "Mortgage loan."

Zhang Ye stood up and said, "You, you took the house into custody?"

Old Wu nodded and said in a very calm tone, "You can use it first, and then pay back the money after you recover the cost later."

"What if I can't pay it back!" My mother was anxious, and said angrily and lovingly: "Hey, why is my wife here so stupid? You live in this place now, how can you mortgage the house casually? If the movie loses money, where will you live? What will happen to the children?"

Zhang Ye panicked: "Cancel it immediately and refund the loan!"

Lao Wu said: "It has been taken into custody."

Zhang Ye was really touched in his heart, but he still said: "Really, why don't you discuss such a big matter with me? And even if you add the 90 million, the money for making a movie is not enough. You - "

Suddenly, the mother-in-law next to me spoke.

Li Qinqin also took out a bank card from somewhere, "That's enough with me."

Zhang Ye was shocked: "Mom? What are you doing?"

Li Qinqin gave him the card, "There is 100 million in it, but the money hasn't arrived yet. The bank will call within this week, so take it and use it."

Mom was dumbfounded, "One hundred million?"

Zhang Ye almost shed tears, "Where did you get this money?"

Li Qinqin smiled and said: "I discussed it with Zeqing's father after I went back that day. I originally wanted to lend you some money, but then I asked, although Xiaomo and Zeqing's sister's business is not bad, it is not flowing We don’t have that much money, so Zeqing’s father and I decided to forget it and stop troubling others. We must support our son-in-law’s career, so we handed over the Siheyuan to the bank.”

Mom said anxiously: "This won't work!"

Dad also quickly returned the card, "In-laws, you absolutely can't do this!"

Mom said: "If you want a mortgage, we must mortgage it!"

Li Qinqin pushed the card back again, "Our yard is bigger, and we can get more mortgages. Moreover, Xiaoye is also our son-in-law. We have always regarded him as our son. We are all one family. How do you divide yours and mine?" Come on."

Zhang Ye said: "Mom, take it back quickly. How can I ask for your money! This is really not possible!"

Wu Changhe spoke coldly, "Just take it if I tell you to, there are so many words!"

Zhang Ye was moved and said: "Dad! But -"

Li Qinqin said: "Seeing you leaving early every day and coming home late every day to solicit investment makes us feel uncomfortable. We can't help with other tasks, but we can still get this little money. You don't have to worry about other things, just make the movie." Let those foreigners and Hollywood see if our Chinese films really can’t get ahead.”

Zhang Ye: "Mom——"

Mom.

Dad.

father in law.

mother in law.

wife.

The family actually went bankrupt and raised 200 million to give him!

Zhang Ye really didn't know what to say at this moment!

More than 190 million, plus his own tens of millions, and more than 200 million in funds, it is enough for him to shoot it!

In the end, Zhang Ye refused.

He put away the three bank cards solemnly and said: "Dad, Mom, Lao Wu, I have collected the money. Don't worry, I will make a good movie. After the box office is recovered, I will repay you several times the money." , even if our family invested in this movie together, just wait and see the good show!"
