Chapter 51: A real trap, a trap that can never make money

The heroic sister Xiao turned pale with anger and smiled calmly.

"Sister Xiao, I personally feel that it doesn't matter whether this movie makes money or not. The most important thing is to film it. You see, the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty lost so many people in this catastrophe, and we always have to leave some commemorations for them.

Schindler's List was adapted by me based on several events, but it also has real prototypes.

Sister Xiao, if this is not the case, I will return all the money you invested in the film to you through other channels, and I will never leave any traces, and I will not tell any outsiders, do you think this is okay?"

"Hehe, hehe, in your eyes, do I really have no brains?"

Xiao Lizhu just sneered.

She thought that Shen Yu was trying to trick her into making a movie that was either a hit or not, or something else, but who would have thought that this guy would actually come up with this.

Mingren didn't tell secrets, she knew very well what Shen Yu wanted to do when he came down.

After the movie is released, he will tell the public that he will not get a cent from this movie and will donate his share of the box office revenue. So, Xiao Lizhu, will you donate?

In other words, do you have the courage not to donate?

So many people of the Ming Dynasty were massacred in this movie. Foreigner Shen Yu donated all the money to the foundation, but you, Universal Pictures, happily took the dividends and box office. You...

Even if Universal Pictures held a shareholders' meeting and asked everyone to vote, it is estimated that those tough and tight-fisted people would press the "yes" button one by one.

I really want to kill someone...

She looked at Shen Yu's white neck and suddenly understood many things.

Why didn't Shen Yu let those Americans invest in this movie? First, it was a money-losing project. If you invest in it, you will lose all your money. Second... the movie is about Europeans saving the people of the Ming Dynasty. If foreign investors are allowed to invest again, Investment, there will be criticism, but if it is invested by Daming Company, then it is nothing, it is just a piece of history. Third...

I really want to bite him to death...

"So, if we didn't put pressure on you, how would you seduce me? Let me shoot this movie with you?"

Xiao Lizhu suddenly thought of this.

"First of all, Rhett Butler is a good person. If I let him out, I don't believe you can hold back.

Secondly, if you hold back and don’t ask me to make a movie or put pressure on me, it doesn’t matter. I’ll make other movies, so why should I cooperate with you?”

Shen Yu looked at Xiao Lizhu in surprise.

"Why do I have to make Schindler's List? Wouldn't it be better to make a sequel to Saving Private Gordon?"

"ah?"

Xiao Lizhu was stunned for a moment.

"Sister Xiao, the craze for Saving Private Gordon is very high. Shooting the sequel is a profitable and very popular thing. As for the cleverness but no workmanship, the heavy sword has no edge... I'm sorry, there was a problem during the preparation of the movie, so please watch the movie Wait a minute, you can’t blame me for this, right?”

“A sequel to Saving Private Gordon?”

"Well, in Batman, Commissioner Gordon has a daughter named Barbara. She is smart and brave. The story begins with her. I have already thought of the name of the movie, called Naked Lamb... ah no, It’s The Silence of the Lambs, telling the story of Barbara, who just debuted, and an expert in solving crimes who join forces to solve a crime...I won’t lie to you this time, it’s really a police movie.”

"...Are you telling the truth?"

"As a film maker, if I can give immature works, can I deceive people?"

Shen Yu said in surprise.

Uh-huh, Xiao Lizhu rolled her eyes. As the chairman of an entertainment company, she had seen countless directors, and none of them were full of deceitful lies.

"So, you made me lose money on this movie, and I will vote for the next one."

"Haha... We agreed that the money will be paid in full. Can you be reasonable?"

Shen Yu said helplessly. If he hadn't asked Xiao Lizhu for help, Shen Yu would have chewed her face directly.

He invited another parallel importer!

Shen Yu did not allow the crew to reimburse the money for the gift for Xiao Lizhu, the three days of food, drinks, etc., but paid for it out of his own pocket.

Anyway, Shen Yu now wants to establish an image of a high-quality director and not misuse investors' money. At the same time, he also needs to spend the money he earns. Can't he use it to invest in Xiao Lizhu?

But...this woman is also a parallel importer!

She came to the shooting scene for three days, and not a single ghost appeared, but she spent a lot of money...

Ahhhh, why are the ghosts of Europa still afraid of Xiao Lizhu? Why don't you come out?

"Okay, I've been here for three days and I haven't found anything. I wasted three days and I didn't help you. Alas... There are a lot of troubles over there in Asia. I'm going back. Don’t you want to express something?”

Shen Yu stretched out his arms and said, "Good friends, let's hug each other goodbye."

Then he was pushed away with disdain, and the eldest sister ignored Shen Yu.

"I want the right to invest in your next movie!"

"You really decide this?"

Shen Yu looked at Xiao Lizhu with a half-smile, "If you want to invest, it might not be The Silence of the Lambs, but another movie. I have an idea. The Beautiful Legend of Sicily is a war movie after all. Don’t miss Italy. It also made outstanding contributions in this world war. The story took place on Sicily, and the battle was fierce..."

"you!"

Xiao Lizhu's nose was so angry that she was crooked. Is this bullying her for not understanding history?

Who doesn’t know what Italy was like in this war?

"Sister Xiao, you won't lose money on this movie. Just because this movie is invested by Universal Pictures, what are you worried about?"

Xiao Lizhu was silent.

"Don't be too greedy. You will earn more from this movie than money. When the time comes, the operation of Ming Dynasty will be left to you. If you know a powerful person, please come over to protect my personal safety.

Anyway, I always feel fuzzy and weird."

"All right……"

What else can Xiao Lizhu say?

Some things are more important than money. Schindler's List tells the story of the Holy Roman Third Reich coming to power and persecuting Ming immigrants in Europe.

This movie is really good so far. If the quality can reach the level of The Godfather and Saving Private Gordon, then Universal Pictures will really make a fortune.

Now, it just remains to see how good the movie is.

And you really don't have to worry about this.

"Have you thought about it, if you don't look for us to shoot your next movie, who are you going to look for? It's hard to find a collaborator like me."

"It's very difficult to come across. It's like a vampire. If this movie goes well, it will be edited in one and a half months. By then, preview screenings will be held in Europe. It's time for you people to take action."

Shen Yu said that the concentration camp scenes have been filmed and he will speed up the completion of the film.
