Xu Zheng discovered that Jiang Chen was even more ambitious than he had imagined.
He seems to want to make a name for himself in the film industry.
Making movies isn't that easy.
Xu Zheng, who has acted in films, knows this well.
If the subject matter of the film is not popular with the audience, the box office will fall short of expectations.
Some films only gross a few million or tens of millions of yuan, failing to even recoup their investment costs.
"You do have a good business sense."
"I just want to know, who did you get investment from?"
Unless Jiang Chen finds a major investor, he won't make the film.
It doesn't matter if the box office is low or not, as long as the actor's salary is in place.
Only large corporations with substantial assets can afford to pay such high salaries.
Jiang Chen: "Me!"
Xu Zheng: "You? You have money?"
This answer left not only Xu Zheng dumbfounded, but also all the celebrities present.
I know Jiang Chen is ambitious, but is it really necessary for him to put on a show of wealth?
Isn't he a newly debuted singer? How does he have so much money?
Or does he really have a powerful background?
Jiang Chen: "No."
Xu Zheng: "What are you talking about if you don't have anything to say!"
Jiang Chen: "As long as you can let me pay on credit, I have the ability to make this movie."
Xu Zheng received the highest salary for his role in "Dying to Survive".
The other main actors are all minor celebrities, so they don't need to pay high salaries.
If we can deal with Xu Zheng, we'll have won half the battle.
Xu Zheng knew that Jiang Chen had ill intentions.
"You little brat, you expect me to make movies for you for free?"
"No way!"
His change in attitude towards Jiang Chen does not mean that he will give in to Jiang Chen in everything.
When it comes to matters involving interests, not a single penny can be spared.
Jiang Chen: "It's not free, it's on credit first, and we'll pay you back after the box office results come out."
Xu Zheng: "What if the box office is low and you try to renege on your payment?"
Jiang Chen: "I absolutely won't renege on my promise. I can sign a contract with you!"
Xu Zheng: "Are you sure?"
If there is a contract, it has legal effect.
If it has legal effect, the actor's salary can be recovered.
Jiang Chen: "I'm sure."
Xu Zheng: "What if you can't repay it?"
Jiang Chen: "I wrote all my songs, and I've already earned millions. In six months, I will definitely be able to pay back your salary."
Jiang Chen earned several million in less than a month.
That's a really fast way to make money.
It's already worth tens of millions in half a year.
Paying back his salary shouldn't be a problem.
Xu Zheng: "Did you really write your songs?"
Jiang Chen: "You can check it online."
I took out my phone, checked, and found that it was true.
After a moment's hesitation, Xu Zheng gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble.
Even if it's not for the pay, we should still think about ordinary people.
"Okay, if we can sign a contract, I'll give you face."
Jiang Chen: "Then let's have a pleasant collaboration."
Xu Zheng shook hands with him: "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
Then he asked, "Which film company will you hire to shoot this?"
Jiang Chen: "Jiang's Media!"
Xu Zheng was dumbfounded.
"Jiang's Media?"
"What media company? I've never heard of it before."
"You're not going to tell me that it's your company, are you?"
Jiang Chen: "No!"
Xu Zheng patted his chest: "You scared me to death! I thought you were the one who drove it."
Jiang Chen: "It's the one I'm planning to open."
Xu Zheng: "Damn it, are you trying to screw me over?"
They haven't even established a company, haven't raised any funds, and haven't even assembled a filming team. Isn't this just pure deception?
Jiang Chen is becoming increasingly unreliable.
Jiang Chen: "I'm helping you out by making this movie; you'll benefit from it for the rest of your life!"
Xu Zheng: "It's not even a matter of time before it's even started, yet you'll benefit from it for life!"
Jiang Chen: "Please trust my abilities."
Xu Zheng: "Tell me again after you've assembled your filming team and completed the location scouting."
Jiang Chen: "Okay, you must act in it then."
Xu Zheng was still worried.
What if Jiang Chen brings in a short film production team to shoot this movie? Wouldn't I lose a fortune?
Have you finished writing the script?
Jiang Chen: "It can't be that fast!"
Xu Zheng: "When will we have the script?"
Jiang Chen: "Give me a few days, and I'll definitely give you the script!"
Xu Zheng: "You said it, so don't fail to do it."
Jiang Chen: "Don't worry, if I can't do it, I'll do a live stream of myself eating a can of herring while doing a handstand!"
Canned herring is a poison bomb.
It's even more poisonous than the "thousand-year-old egg".
It's a hundred times worse than stinky tofu.
If Jiang Chen keeps his word, it will be a great entertainment headline.
Xu Zheng's mood improved slightly.
"I won't agree to act if the script isn't good enough."
Jiang Chen: "Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Jiang Chen is truly confident.
He seemed to have everything under control.
This is the most confusing point.
Is he really confident that he can succeed at everything he does?
Xu Zheng: "What about the director? Which director are you planning to hire?"
Jiang Chen: "Me!"
"you?"
Xu Zheng laughed: "You're just a singer, what experience do you have, what qualifications do you have to be a director?"
Jiang Chen: "If Guo Jingming can do it, why can't I?"
Guo Jingming was a new director when he made "Tiny Times".
This movie has been criticized.
However, the results were quite good.
This brought Guo Jingming a lot of attention.
Industry insiders and netizens have mixed opinions about him.
Some people say he only has a reputation, not real ability.
Some people say that his first film was so successful, which shows that he has a certain level of skill.
Xu Zheng had heard of Guo Jingming's "Tiny Times".
