Just how outstanding must someone be to earn so much money in such a short time?
What kind of benefits did he get?
Is he a small business owner?
"You're not going to tell me that you made this money from stock trading, are you?"
"He majored in finance in college?"
"He wasn't formally trained?"
"I think he's awesome more and more."
"The more information is revealed, the more admirable he becomes."
The production team of "Keep Running" was utterly ashamed.
They were still Jiang Chen's age, only fit to be his assistants.
They are simply incapable of holding a major position.
It wasn't until around the age of thirty that I had the opportunity to become a director or assistant director.
"I'm getting more and more curious about the quality of his movie."
"If the quality is good and it can also achieve high box office, then he will be the most successful new director in the history of Chinese cinema, without exception."
"He would definitely win the Best New Director award at the awards ceremony."
Li Chen asked curiously, "Teacher Jiang, what did you do before you debuted?"
Jiang Chen: "Start a business!"
No wonder they have so much money.
It turns out he was a small business owner.
Li Chen: "Awesome!"
Chen He: "You are the most successful artist I have ever seen!"
Deng Cao: "I have to admire that someone so young can create everything on their own!"
Jiang Chen: "It was just a fluke, nothing to brag about."
Wang Zulan: "This kind of thing can't be a fluke!"
Li Chen: "I have never heard of anyone being able to hold multiple jobs and make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry by sheer luck."
Jiang Chen: "It's really nothing to brag about!"
Zheng Kai frowned.
According to his understanding, Jiang Chen had already gone bankrupt.
Where did this money come from?
He's only been a singer for a few months.
It's impossible to earn 100 million, right?
"Teacher Jiang, didn't you go bankrupt?"
"Where did the money to make the movie come from?"
Deng Cao and his group were dumbfounded.
"What?"
"He's already bankrupt?"
"What exactly is going on?"
Zheng Kai explained.
"Teacher Jiang did indeed run a company before, but unfortunately it went bankrupt and he was heavily in debt."
"He only became a star because this path was blocked."
Chen He: How do you know so much detail?
Zheng Kai: "When we went on 'Happy Camp' to promote 'The Ex-Files 3,' Teacher Jiang told us this personally backstage."
Chen He: "Really? How can he make movies without money?"
Jia Ling, who knew the truth, gave her the answer.
"Buy on credit!"
Chen He: "Buying on credit? In a money-driven society, who wants to buy on credit?"
Jia Ling: "The lead actors were almost all on credit, and Mr. Xu Zheng was willing to do so; he told me this himself."
Chen He couldn't understand.
"No way?"
Why are they willing to pay on credit?
Aren't you worried that Jiang Chen won't be able to pay back the money?
Jia Ling made Xu Zheng's reasons public.
"Teacher Jiang has earned several million since her debut."
"If you keep releasing new songs, you can earn more than ten million a year."
"If you build up your fame, it's not impossible to earn as much money as Jay Chou."
"Director Xu Zheng saw his potential, which is why he was willing to let him buy on credit."
Chen He couldn't believe it.
"Is singing really that profitable?"
"It makes me want to sing too!"
Jia Ling urged.
"If you have the ability, then go sing."
"Teacher Jiang wrote both the lyrics and the music all by himself."
"The singing is still heavenly."
"If you lack any one of these, you might not earn this much money."
That's definitely what makes Jiang Chen so amazing.
It was precisely because he sang well and could also compose songs that he became an instant sensation.
Deng Cao raised questions.
"Even if actors can pay on credit, the crew's living expenses and venue rental still require a lot of money, right?"
"These few million are simply not enough."
Jia Ling: "You'll have to ask Teacher Jiang about that, I don't know either."
She also couldn't understand why a film's budget was so low.
Logically speaking, the daily living expenses of a film crew would be more than this amount.
Deng Cao: "Teacher Jiang, could you answer this?"
Jiang Chen: "The movies I make use local materials, so there's no need to build a studio, and the post-production doesn't require any fancy special effects, which saves a lot of money."
Deng Cao: "Like an urban film like 'The Ex-Files 3'?"
Jiang Chen: "More or less."
For urban films like "The Ex-Files 3," it's true that it doesn't need to spend too much money.
Deng Cao: "Urban romance film?"
Jiang Chen: "No, it's about diseases, medicines, and medical care."
Deng Cao: "I'm getting more and more curious about what kind of movie this is."
Jiang Chen: "Brother Chao will know once he locks in the Mid-Autumn Festival prime time slot."
Deng Cao: "Don't worry, I'll definitely go to the cinema to support you."
Zheng Kai asked curiously, "How much do you predict this movie will gross?"
"The Ex-Files 3" made a fortune.
It's almost two billion.
That's enough to break even.
He wondered if Jiang Chen could break the record set by "The Ex-Files 3".
Jiang Chen gave a rather modest number.
"More than a billion."
Zheng Kai: "So confident?"
Jiang Chen: "If 'The Ex-Files 3' can gross nearly 2 billion yuan, I believe this movie can too."
Zheng Kai: "You have to understand, not everyone is lucky."
Jiang Chen: "I have never relied on luck, but on my strength."
Zheng Kai: "Then why did you just say that all of this was just luck?"
Jiang Chen: "You know perfectly well why I'm asking this."
