Xu Man is very short of money.

Even though she had shot a good work when she was in school, the three works she shot after graduation also received very good responses. She can be said to be a new star in the director circle. When other directors still need to attract investments of hundreds of thousands, she has no shortage of investors who can give her millions or even tens of millions.

But she still needed money.

Because she is now planning to start filming a fantasy film.

If a fantasy film wants good effects, it can only spend money, spend money crazily.

Apart from anything else, Xu Man’s idea of ​​“shooting on location as much as possible for 70% or more” is enough to burn money. Moreover, shooting on location does not mean that special effects are not needed. In fact, because it is a fantasy film, more special effects are needed.

Although Xu Man has good grades, not many people are optimistic about her, and those who have a lot of money are not optimistic about her.

In this world, Chinese fantasy has declined, at least in the film market. Even its most glorious moments were presented to the public in the form of TV dramas and had little to do with movies.

Most investors are not big gamblers. Rather than taking a gamble, they prefer to be safe.

If Xu Man was shooting a comedy, or one of her specialty suspense and horror films, a large investment would not be a problem, but if she wanted to shoot a fantasy film, isn't that the equivalent of trying to build a tall building on a flat foundation?

Xu Man expressed frustration at this statement: "I'm not good at suspense and horror, I'm good at many things, but I've only shot two films on this theme before."

Although she looks carefree, she is actually a director after all. Like Wan Bao, she only wants her work to be better and better, so she is not willing to compromise.

In order to raise funds, Xu Man has suffered too many grievances. When he was experiencing them, he seemed to think that they were nothing, but when he counted them one by one, he was filled with sadness: "I stood when others ate, I smiled shamelessly when others ignored me, and I drank until I vomited. These were nothing. When I met that idiot who wanted to take advantage of me and said that I would invest if I slept with him, I was stupid! He didn't even look at his face!"

After the drunk Xu Man finished complaining, she hugged the bottle and cried:

"I don't want to just shoot it like this! It should be more grand and more shocking! As long as it's filmed well, the whole country, no! The whole world will know how good our Chinese immortal heroes are!"

Sheng Quan knew that what she said was not out of reach.

In the original text, Xu Man had to compromise on many aspects of the film's production due to lack of funds, although the film became a huge hit after its release and also did very well overseas.

However, the poor special effects, cheap costumes and props, etc., seemed to have found a sore spot in some foreign media, which began to criticize the backwardness of Chinese films.

This incident became a thorn in Xu Man's heart.

She knew in her heart that this movie could have surpassed all foreign movies of the same period in every aspect, but due to lack of funds, it ended up in a whimper.

Xu Man swore that she must make a movie that would shock the world and prove that China could also have good movies that could lead the global trend.

Unfortunately, she passed away before she could realize her ambitions.

And now, Xu Man, who was not dead yet, had a red face from drinking. Her eyes, which were particularly moist because of being drunk, stared straight at Sheng Quan. She pulled his hand several times before grabbing Sheng Quan's hand: "Do you believe me? You didn't invest because of my beauty? Or, did you invest because we are friends? My God, I actually have such a rich friend. I wouldn't dare to do this even in my dreams."

The drunk beauty held her hand and acted coquettishly, and Sheng Quan felt like she was in a dream.

She openly admired the beauty, but even though she admired her, her career mind was still there: "I trust you, just take good pictures, don't worry about the money."

Xu Man still felt unreal: "Are you sure? It has to be at least 100 million. And at least, are you really sure?"

Sheng Quan saw that she was drunk and staggering, still struggling to settle the bill, so he could only support her: "I'm sure, I'm sure, don't worry."

"Okay, stop drinking and go to bed quickly. We have to sign the contract tomorrow."

Xu Man has been beautiful since she was young, and has encountered many admirers when she went out, so she never indulged herself in getting drunk. But this time, next to Sheng Quan, she unconsciously drank one glass after another with peace of mind.

As soon as Sheng Quan said it was time to go to sleep, she immediately closed her eyes and fell into a drowsy sleep.

the next day

Xu Man opened his eyes blankly and was stunned when he saw the unfamiliar furnishings.

hotel?

She sat up suddenly from the bed, and her first reaction was to check her body.

"woke up?"

Sheng Quan, who was playing games in the living room, heard the noise and came over to greet him, "Hurry up and get up. We have to sign the contract today."

Seeing Sheng Quan, Xu Man finally realized what was going on. She breathed a sigh of relief, then was stunned again: "Sign a contract? What contract?"

"The contract for investing in your fairy tale movie. Are you drunk?"

Xu Man opened her eyes wide: "One hundred million?!"

Sheng Quan: "Yes, starting at 100 million."

Xu Man: ...Why can you talk about such a large amount as if it were just a piece of cabbage?

Then she suddenly remembered that Sheng Quan had just spent 100 million on a singer not long ago.

She really has the money! ! Xu Man realized it later and finally realized:

She, she, she, she! She has found a super thigh! ! !

*** [Bound to the sponsor: Xu Man]

006 is no longer the newborn system that knows nothing. It has learned a lot, such as the time required for filming a movie: [Host, the filming cycle of a movie is very long. If you bind Xu Man, it will take a long time to feedback the progress.]

【So I want to do something big. 】

Sheng Quan thought clearly: [If I don’t change this situation, if I increase the life expectancy by one or two months, I will eventually need to half-sponsor one person every month.]

006 doesn’t quite understand: [Live frugally? ]

[This means that in the next few months or even half a year, I will try my best to bind Xu Man repeatedly. Before she can bring me a long life of rebates, I will use the company to continue to promote the first two sponsors to ensure that their careers can sustain my life. ]

Sheng Quan would never sit back and enjoy all his wealth.

Even if she saved money in her previous life, she would have invested it in various channels, even if it was in a bank to earn fixed interest. Anyway, she would not just leave the money alone after earning it.

After all, if money is left unused it is depreciating.

I don't seek to make a huge profit, I just seek to beat inflation.

Similarly, life span is used up every day, and a gap of only a few months is far from enough. An accident may cause her life span to end.

So Mr. Sheng decided that instead of waiting passively, it would be better to take the initiative.

[For a director, making a good film may not necessarily make it known to the world, but making an internationally renowned film is a different story.]

China has never been able to compete with foreign countries in the entertainment industry, and even the Chinese themselves have to admit this.

But who would be willing to admit that their family is not as good as others?

If a work from China could become a big hit internationally, people all over the country would be keen to discuss and promote it.

As long as there is enough funding, the film that Xu Man is going to shoot will be able to create a greater impact than many people imagine.

[There is one more thing.] Sheng Quan signed his name on the contract: [Actually, I am also very unhappy about this situation. Obviously, we also have good directors, good screenwriters, and good actors.]

She shook hands with Xu Man, and looked at the fairy-like woman in front of her who was laughing so hard that her teeth were visible, and she couldn't help but smile too.

The good news is that she can now break this situation herself.

*** Shengquan invested in a movie called "The Cultivator".

The news spread everywhere quickly, and along with the investment news, there was also the investment amount.

One hundred million.

An investor who has been paying attention to Shengquan almost spit out the tea in his mouth:

"One hundred million?! Another hundred million?! How many installments were there?"

The friend who told him the news showed a look of envy and jealousy, and said sourly: "It's not in installments, it's all paid at once, and I heard there may be more later."

He has reason to be jealous because he is also a director by profession.

My friend sighed: "I don't know how Xu Man persuaded Director Sheng. I couldn't even get 10 million, but Director Sheng invested 100 million in her in one go!"

"That's a fairy-tale theme, it's so unpopular! Director Sheng must be young and just entered the industry, he doesn't know the market, hey! Hey! Why didn't I meet Director Sheng!"

Not only is the amount huge, but it is not paid in installments, but all at once.

Which director would not be envious and jealous of such a sponsor?

When he heard the news, he wanted to rush to the plastic surgery hospital immediately to make himself look like Xu Man, and then replace her to welcome Sheng Quan's huge investment.

One hundred million, let alone plastic surgery, he could even have his sex changed! The investor was not jealous of Xu Man, he was shocked by one point:

"In other words, after Sheng Quan donated 100 million, he can come up with another 100 million in cash? Oh my god, no, no, I'm going to call Wang Zhengzheng. I have to make friends with this kind of person."

In the entertainment industry, money is everything.

And Sheng Quan has proved with her actions that she is very rich.

No one dared to disclose her private cell phone number, but many people knew that Wang Zhengzheng had clung to Xingmang Entertainment Shengquan, and many people looked down on him before.

He is already so old and has some prestige and fame in the circle, but he is not hesitant to lower his own status to support a young person in his early twenties. He greets her with a smiling face and wants to recognize them as brother and sister on the spot. Tsk tsk, this flattery is really contemptible.

When Wang Zhengzheng rented an entire floor of Huaxing Building at a super favorable price, some people kept silent.

When Sheng Quan donated 100 million yuan to "Singing With You", everyone consciously took back their original words.

And now, after Sheng Quan invested 100 million yuan in Xu Man, a young director who had only three historical works under her belt, they were the ones fawning over her.

People from all over called Mr. Wang, hoping that he could help to make connections, promising various benefits and saying a lot of nice things, just to meet Mr. Sheng.

Many companies also come to Xingmang on their own initiative, hoping to cooperate with Xingmang.

Occasionally, she would meet Sheng Quan in the company. As soon as she showed up, his smile would immediately become eight hundred times more friendly.

Sometimes even when Sheng Quan was eating at a hotel, someone would take the initiative to pay the bill for her, just to say their name, hoping to leave a good impression on her.

However, such scenes did not decrease over time, but became more and more serious.

Because "Road of Life" was broadcast.

Very popular.
