The script did indeed match what she had read.
"Director Zhang, the film script is excellent, and the characters are very charismatic. To be honest, I'm very interested in this film. However, our Hualai is currently investing in a big-budget film, which will cost several hundred million yuan. Hualai really doesn't have much money to invest in others," Chu Yu said truthfully.
Zhang Yanping was a little disappointed. Everyone said that President Zhou was generous, but Hualai had indeed invested in a large project. If such a large project failed, Hualai Company would probably go bankrupt.
Zhang Yanping could understand Chu Yu's predicament.
Chu Yu looked troubled, but it was all an act. She wanted to do Zhang Yanping a favor, so she couldn't let him think she had a lot of money and could invest in him at any time. She had to let Zhang Yanping know that she was in a difficult situation because she didn't have money, but she would still try her best to find funds to help Zhang Yanping overcome his difficulties.
Chu Yu, feeling both headache and guilt, finally couldn't help but say:
"Director Zhang, I really don't have any money. You should have heard that our company invested in 'Jurassic Resurrection.' The entire movie was filmed in Hollywood, with sets built and post-production done. The movie cost hundreds of millions of yuan, and our company has been struggling financially lately."
"Mr. Zhou, I understand. I've heard about this and I understand your predicament." Zhang Yanping sighed. Understanding was one thing, but if they really couldn't secure investment, the film would have to be halted, and Zhang Yanping would still be saddened.
Chu Yu suddenly changed the subject, "How about this, Director Zhang, I really like this movie. How about this? I heard you're not with a film company. Why don't you come to our company, help us make movies, help us achieve our performance targets for next year, and I'll help you find funding? How about that?"
Zhang Yanping's face lit up with joy. It wasn't that he didn't want to join a big company, but big companies had requirements for directors. How could a young man like him, who was just starting out and had only recently entered the field, be valued by a big company?
Zhong Buyi is lucky, but not everyone is like Zhong Buyi.
For Zhang Yanping, this news was undoubtedly a windfall.
Not only did he secure investment, but his subsequent films were also guaranteed, and Hua Lai paid him generously, so Zhang Yanping's future development is assured.
Even if he can get into Wallace, using Wallace as a stepping stone would be good.
"Mr. Zhou, can you really help me secure investment?"
"Director Zhang, I will try my best to help. To be honest, after Zhong Buyi went to film the Jurassic movie, we at Hualai have several films that we haven't been able to find suitable directors for. I have high standards for directors; they need to be capable and have a keen eye for the market. If you can come over, I'll let you direct these films. I promise to help you with the investment. If we can't get investment, I'll give you my entire fortune to cover the costs."
Zhang Yanping was deeply moved. No wonder people say that President Zhou is generous and appreciates young people. President Zhou is truly one of the few conscientious and visionary bosses in China.
Zhang Yanping readily agreed, and Chu Yu smiled and said, "Leave the investment to me, I'll try my best to resolve it for you as soon as possible."
