Three days later, in a private room of a hot pot restaurant in Sichuan.
“The hot pot here is a must-try, you have to try it. Come, come, we’re all welcome.”
Sun Zheng started to say hello.
Zhang Hong raised his wine glass and toasted with Sprite: "I've long heard that the hot pot in Sichuan is good for people. There are so many beautiful girls here. It seems that this is true. Come on, I'll toast you two."
Liu Yishou and Sun Zheng smiled at each other, picked up Coke and Fanta respectively, and then the three of them clinked a glass.
After finishing a cup of Coke, Zhang Hong bared his teeth and burped. Then he picked up his chopsticks and put meat into the hot pot while asking: "Director Liu, Director Sun, what orders do you two have from me?"
Sun Zheng was delighted: "If nothing happens, I can't come to you?"
"That's impossible." Zhang Hong also smiled, "It's just that you two are very busy people, so you won't come to me if you have nothing to do. It's probably because of something."
"It's true that something happened, but let's not talk about it for now." Liu Yishou took a chopstick and put it into the pot while brushing it and asked, "Xiaohong, I heard that you are filming a corporate video for people recently? Don't you think there is a TV series playing here?
Shoot, why did you think of going back to shoot that thing?"
After all, he is a great director, so he looks down on making commercials.
"That's not a commercial, no... I can't tell." Zhang Hong rubbed his hair and smacked his lips, "How should I put it... maybe it's like a commercial for a TV series? Or is it like an advertisement?
A TV series about the movie?”
It seems hard to tell.
"But no matter what, I helped others fulfill their obsession, and it feels pretty good."
Zhang Hong quite liked this feeling.
To be honest, he is not a professional, nor does he make movies.
So he is not interested at all in ratings, website clicks, sales status, etc.
At first, he was just chasing ducks to sell on the shelves, but later his purpose was to make money.
As for now...
Although he was very satisfied at the time, the more he thought about the 10 million he had rejected, the more he became heartbroken, and he even wished he could go back in time and give himself a slap in the face.
What a crime! Are you that kind of person?
Fortunately, he still had 5 million to spare (800,000 was included in the studio's operating expenses), otherwise he would have been really upset.
"Tsk, I said today's young people are too impetuous." Liu Yishou picked up a pair of chopsticks, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. He put down the chopsticks and began to educate Zhang Hong, "Xiao Hong, what you should pursue is art!
Once you finish filming your TV series, the money will come naturally! Why should you lower your status to accept a corporate commercial?"
The five words "hating iron but not steel" can perfectly express his current mood.
Especially after he saw Zhang Hong's talent, he became even more unhappy.
Zhang Hongli grinned: "Director Liu, it can actually be considered a TV series. The production cost was nearly one billion!"
Liu Yishou was taking the cigarette handed over by Sun Zheng. When he heard this, he turned around and said, "You are talking nonsense to me! How can a commercial film cost one billion? You can't even make a movie for that much! I filmed "
The cost of "Blood Youth" was just over 100 million! That is a rare large investment in a few years!"
It was Liu Yishou who really regarded Zhang Hong as his nephew, otherwise he would not have been able to fully expose his fragrant side.
In the past, even if he was trolling people on the set, he would usually not say bad words so bluntly.
"Let's calm down and have a cigarette first." The good old man Sun Zheng pushed Liu Yishou's hand and then helped him light the cigarette.
After that, he lit another one himself, handed another one to Zhang Hong, and then asked: "Xiao Hong, there is no need to make such a joke. Lao Liu said this because he cares about you. In addition to his family, he
But it’s rarely like this.”
Talented young people are all young and energetic, and he was afraid that Zhang Hong would fall out and leave if he got angry.
By the way, let him not be too arrogant - a commercial with a billion investment? Who would believe this nonsense?
Even if you lie, you have to tell it in a reliable way.
This kind of lie is fake at first glance, and it kind of insults the intelligence of the two little old men.
Zhang Hong is not a giant baby, so of course he knows that the two directors have good intentions.
But what he said is true!
Zhang Hong took a puff of cigarette, and the smoke floated out with a wry smile: "What I said is true. I really invested one billion, and then I only spent more than five million, not counting the announcement."
With."
Liu Yishou raised his eyebrows and was about to curse, but he also listened to Sun Zheng's advice and took a deep breath to stop himself from being too angry. Then he flicked the ashes from his cigarette and frowned: "Xiaohong, don't talk about these useless things.
, I won’t say anything to you.”
After taking a long puff of cigarette, he rolled the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and then said: "Are you short of money now? I still have millions of working capital here. If it doesn't work, you can use it first.
Let me borrow it from you."
Young people are thin-skinned and have high self-esteem, so he said he borrowed it.
Of course, he had no intention of coming back at all.
Sun Zheng also said: "I made a lot of money by investing in your TV series before. If you are short of money, I haven't invested the money yet, so there is no problem in giving it to you first."
Zhang Hong raised his hand and rubbed it under his nose.
He didn't know if it was because of the heat of the hot pot in the private room, but he felt a little hot in his eyes.
But there is really no need to pay for it.
"I'm really not short of money. I made over five million from the movie "Mobile Suit". Uncle Sun and Uncle Liu, I really didn't lie to you. By the way, I was the one to take over the movie "Mobile Suit". That TV series was shot in total.
It’s twenty-five episodes long, how could it be a commercial?”
His names for the two directors changed.
When they heard that it was a twenty-five-episode TV series, Liu Yishou and Liu Yishou were a little relieved.
But new problems arose.
Liu Yishou picked up the chopsticks again, picked up some shrimp paste and put it in the hot pot. As he was brushing it, he asked: "What do you think of Xuanfa? Is this an online drama or is it trying to get a star? I know some people here who can help you."
Contact us.”
He didn't ask about the cost of the film.
In his opinion, how could one billion be possible?
Capital is all about profit. If you really invest one billion, you will definitely have to earn back ten billion.
And if you really want to invest so much, it is impossible to find a young man like Zhang Hong for the time being.
Moreover, when it comes to large investments, Xuanfa has already caught up with it, but it’s not like now, knowing nothing.
"Don't worry about this, the other party will take care of it." Zhang Hong brushed a piece of mutton and stuffed it into his mouth, then opened his mouth and breathed in the hot air, "That's the job of Huaxia Heavy Industries, and the boss takes it very seriously, saying that it will be on CCTV
, you two can rest assured."
After finishing the mutton, he looked up and saw that the two of them still looked unconvinced. Zhang Hong said helplessly: "I can't wait until the results come out. I'll let you two know. You can just go and see them then."
Since he said this, Liu Yishou and Liu Yishou believed him for the time being.
Liu Yishou nodded: "Okay, you must notify us when there are results, and let us two old guys help you check it."
"That's good, but don't scold me too harshly when the time comes. I'm a glass-hearted person." Zhang Hong laughed and then asked, "Then you two can talk to me about anything, right? Mr.
You couldn't have asked me to come all the way to Sichuan to be disciplined, right?"
Liu Yishou lit another cigarette, then raised his chin to signal Sun Zheng to come.
Sun Zheng put down his chopsticks, took out a piece of paper and wiped his mouth, then put his arms on the table and leaned forward slightly: "That's it, someone came to us recently and said they wanted to invest in a film about the March War. We
Both of us now have books in our hands that we plan to invest in, so we can't separate ourselves, so I just wanted to ask if you are interested."
For a war movie, the investment should be quite large... Zhang Hong said with a smile: "You two jointly invited me. If I say I'm not interested, it would definitely be a disgrace to you two, but how should I make this war movie?"
Is the other party’s investment quite large?”
Having had a successful experience, he wanted to go further.
Make more money!
Human desires will expand.
Now that I have earned money for the house, I naturally have to start earning money for the car.
Maybe there will be money for future betrothal gifts, wedding money, decoration money, and even milk powder money for raising children in a few years.
It's better to prepare for a rainy day. Only by keeping money there can you suppress panic.
"The investment is actually not that big. The other party just wants to film a soldier's glorious experience." Sun Zheng shook his head, "I can't tell if it's bad. Anyway, if you're interested, let's go and visit him together."
A warrior’s glorious experience?
Zhang Hong was delighted.
Then I might as well take a picture of a pair of eagles, it’s absolutely glorious!
He did come with an interest - mainly to make money.
At worst, it could be made into a drama about the Anti-Japanese War. After all, satisfying investors is the first priority.
Raising the glass, Zhang Hong said with a smile: "No problem, then when are we going there? I have to take Lin Muqing with me, because now he is the butler of my studio."
Liu Yishou put out his cigarette and wiped his mouth: "Then call her as soon as possible. When she comes, we will set off."
............
"How did that go?"
"Brother Hao, don't worry about me doing the work! I've already inquired about it. Xiaohong is filming a science fiction film about a space war involving all robots. You know, China Heavy Industries, it's probably an advertising film or something like that.
Something. At least that’s what my Lin Chuan told me, this kid doesn’t dare to lie to me.”
"Okay, thank you, brother."
In the 500-square-meter office, Zhang Hong let out a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone.
This time it was China Heavy Industries who asked his son to film the film, so it was not easy for him to interfere.
Mainly as a buddy who had fought together in the past, he also knew the situation in Lao Liang's family.
So he had a good idea of what Mr. Liang wanted.
To be honest, he was happy to see the film come to fruition, so he didn't want to interfere.
But next time...
He quickly made another call.
"How did things go?"
"Boss, I have already invested in Sun Zheng and Liu Yishou. Now they have to use our investment to make a new movie and have no time to make that movie. So they really went to find the young master. Also, about those few
Invitations for the awards have also been sent.”
"Okay! Keep watching! Contact me at any time!"
"Okay boss."
After hanging up the phone, the corner of Zhang Hao's mouth raised crazily: "Smash it, hit it, I want to know what kind of war movie you can make with only one million investment."

Although the blind date failed, it was quite interesting. When the second chapter is finished, I will write a short composition for everyone to enjoy.
