Yang Mi: "If there wasn't one, how could it have been filmed?"
Jiang Chen: "Let's buy on credit first, and pay later when the box office results come out."
Yang Mi was stunned.
"You can do that?"
"What if this movie only grosses a few million or tens of millions?"
Jiang Chen: "Then we'll use the money we earn from singing to pay them back little by little."
Jiang Chen has already gained public recognition for his singing.
They have millions of fans.
He could indeed use the money he earns from singing to pay off his debts for filming.
Yang Mi: "Even Teacher Xu Zheng is willing to pay on credit?"
Jiang Chen: "Yes."
Yang Mi: "Teacher Xu Zheng is really wicked. When I asked him to act in a movie, he wouldn't accept a penny less; but when it comes to you, he doesn't want a single penny."
Jiang Chen: "This is strength! The strong only recognize strength, not personal connections!"
Yang Mi: "So, does that mean your movie has great potential?"
Jiang Chen: "Absolutely, otherwise how can I surpass you?"
Yang Mi: "So, what's your estimated box office revenue?"
Jiang Chen: "More than a billion, but as for the exact amount, I don't know."

Jiang Chen: "You don't actually think that every movie Zhang Yimou makes has a box office of over a billion, do you?"
Yang Mi was left speechless after being rebuked.

If your content isn't compelling enough, audiences in China won't buy it.
"I'd like to see if your debut film can achieve this box office performance."
Jiang Chen: "Don't worry, I definitely won't let you down! Remember to honor your bet and pay out 1 billion!"
Yang Mi: "If you surpass me, I'll personally deliver a billion to your door."
Jiang Chen: "Okay, I'll wait for you to deliver the money to my door."
