Zhou Xiaokun saw that the big director took a fancy to his work and wanted to make a movie with him, he was naturally very excited, he immediately bought a plane ticket, went to the capital with Chen Yingjun, and met with the director, the director learned that Zhou Xiaokun is a rich second generation, the family is very rich, and after filming two movies before, he was directly happy, he said to Zhou Xiaokun: " If we cooperate to make a movie this time, the biggest difficulty on my side is that the investment is not good, because I made a documentary last time, the purpose is for public welfare, and the commerciality is not strong, so I didn't sell any money, and now I want to try to make a film that is half of the commercial public welfare, and the investment is really not good, if you have money at home and you are willing to invest, I think we should be very happy to cooperate. ”

Zhou Xiaokun knows that making a movie is not the same thing as making a short video, making a movie requires a complete crew, and the daily expenses of the crew every day are a large amount, he asked the director named Liu Siping: "Then how much do you think our drama will cost?"

After thinking for a while, Director Liu Siping simply stretched out a slap: "If you don't find a very famous actor, I think five million should be able to come down, and it may be controlled at about three million, which depends on the specific cost." ”

Million!

Zhou Xiaokun chuckled in his heart when he heard this, he really couldn't get this money at this time, but his father had it, but if he asked his father, he might not be able to ask for it, and he didn't know if his father would support him to make a movie.

"I can't get five million right now, but I can talk to my family, and if they support me, I think it's okay. Zhou Xiaokun said with a smile.

"Well, then you should really discuss it with your family, after all, five million is not thirty or fifty thousand, it's not a small amount. ”

As for the rest of the time, Director Liu Siping chatted casually with Zhou Xiaokun, during which Liu Siping also told Zhou Xiaokun a lot about his journey from college to entering the entertainment industry, and also told a lot about what happened when he was making a documentary.

In his opinion, Liu Siping is a person who loves the film industry very much, and he is also more persistent in the pursuit of film art, at least he must have been like this in the past, but now the film industry is mainly pursuing commercialization and profit, in this general trend environment, he had to change his original intention, in order to cater to the market and make a film that combines commercial and public welfare, which is respectable at the same time, it is also a bit sad.

However, society is changing, and if people want to adapt to society, they have to keep changing, so Zhou Xiaokun thinks it's nothing, as for Liu Siping's shooting technology and concept, Zhou Xiaokun is not very worried about this, because before he came to the capital, he watched several of Liu Siping's movies, which are still very good.

That night, after returning to the hotel with Chen Yingjun, the two also discussed whether to make a movie with Liu Siping, Chen Yingjun meant, it is best to think about it, after all, the investment is five million, both of them don't know much about movies now, this money is likely to be lost if it is invested, it is better to use it to make a short video, at least the prospect of short video, from now on, it is very considerable.

And Zhou Xiaokun was very interested, he said: "No matter how you shoot a short video, it must not be the same concept as a movie, and this Liu Siping is really powerful, our story is good, it is estimated that we can make a very good film, as for the five million invested, think about it, it cost about 400 to buy a big G in order to pretend to be forced to buy a big G, and now I am making a movie, this is for the cause, shouldn't the 5 million be taken out?"

"Okay, it's mainly up to you, after all, it's you who invest. Saying that, Chen Yingjun was still there with emotion, saying that when he was just a freshman, Zhou Xiaokun looked like an honest poor boy, and now he is going to invest in making movies, and he is going to enter the film and television industry in the future, and he really couldn't think of it at the beginning.

Zhou Xiaokun smiled bitterly: "Yes, now I still feel like I'm dreaming when I think about it, it's all like a dream, and I can find a beautiful girl like Su Hanhan, this life is really worth it, if I die now, I'm willing." ”

Chen Yingjun glanced at him: "Look at your little bit of talent, how can you be content yet?" If I were you, I would definitely enter the film and television industry and give those female stars unspoken rules, that is the pinnacle of life, that is called contentment." ”

"I'm not as angry as you are. ”

......

The next day, Zhou Xiaokun also went to see Liu Siping again, and had a good chat with Liu Siping about making movies, Liu Siping later called a few young actors and actresses, all of whom he had used, and these people were also very polite to Zhou Xiaokun, after all, Zhou Xiaokun may be their future financier, and it is possible to change their fate.

And the heroes and heroines of this new movie have not yet been decided, so after these young people added Zhou Xiaokun's WeChat, they kept chatting with Zhou Xiaokun at night, and Zhou Xiaokun also knew their intentions, so there was a sentence of reply, and later Chen Yingjun also reminded him: "Since you are investing with your own money, why don't you tell the director and let you be the protagonist, so that once the movie is popular, your income will be the greatest." ”

"I'm the protagonist, can't I?" Although Zhou Xiaokun has filmed two dramas before, and everyone says that his acting skills are not bad, but after all, they are all protagonists, and the feeling of this protagonist and supporting roles must be completely different, and he doesn't think he can be the protagonist.

"Why not, or you can try, anyway, I think, if you don't play the protagonist once, then you will always be a trickster, even if you are not a serious insider, if you want to blend into the circle, you have to be the protagonist once. Chen Yingjun continued to pinch Zhou Xiaokun.

Zhou Xiaokun thought that what Chen Yingjun said was also reasonable, so he smiled and said that he would go to Liu Siping tomorrow to ask and see what Liu Siping meant.

At the same time, this night Zhou Xiaokun also chatted with Su Hanhan about making a movie as the protagonist, Su Hanhan was very supportive of Zhou Xiaokun on the surface, saying that if Zhou Xiaokun became the protagonist, she would definitely be proud and proud of him in her heart, but in her heart, she actually didn't want Zhou Xiaokun to be the protagonist, mainly because she was afraid that if Zhou Xiaokun became popular, there would be many girls chasing him and robbing him with her, she had no money at home, and she didn't have anything particularly good, she was really afraid that Zhou Xiaokun would be snatched away.

It's just that she is worried about these words, she will not say to Zhou Xiaokun at this time, she feels that Zhou Xiaokun is now the time to start a business, and she should support him and be a reasonable woman behind the scenes.

Regarding the filming, on the day he returned to his hometown, Zhou Xiaokun called his father Zhou Weimin, wanting to obtain Zhou Weimin's consent. Aren't you engaged in short videos?,I haven't figured out this short video yet.,I just want to make a movie.,Although your dad and I don't know much about these.,But I also know.,This movie is not a joke.,There's to be a professional director or something.,You don't know anything about it.,Just invest money to make a movie.,Isn't it a little too hasty.。 ”

"Although short videos are not the same thing as making movies, they are actually about the same, they are all good stories in the form of videos for everyone to see, and they don't let me shoot with a camera, I have a professional director, and I will also set up a professional team, you can rest assured, I will definitely be able to earn back this five million, even if I can't earn it back, then I will definitely be able to accumulate some popularity and fans, and it will be helpful to my company when the time comes, and I will definitely not lose too much." Zhou Xiaokun tried to convince his father.

Zhou Weimin was silent for a moment over there, and said: "It stands to reason that you are busy with your career here, and I should support you, but I really think that you can't make movies, you are playing blindly, and how can you be single-minded, can you make a short video first, let me see your results, and then you will make a movie?"

"I also have the results of short videos, didn't I shoot a short film in the previous paragraph, it's very popular on campus celebrities, our company's short video account has also increased a lot of fans, I think it's quite successful. ”

"So how much money do you make, that's all I care about. "Zhou Weimin, who doesn't know much about the Internet, thinks that no matter how many fans there are, it's useless if he doesn't make money.

"It's definitely not easy to monetize in a short period of time, but after a long time and more fans have accumulated, then it will make money, and it is possible that I can earn 1.8 million yuan by broadcasting live every day. Zhou Xiaokun felt that he was sure to make a profit anyway.

"Then you are so powerful, you earn 1.8 million a day, then you will broadcast live for five days, and you will earn money from making movies for five days?"

"Oh, Dad, you just support me, other rich second generations, either buy luxury cars or go to gambling and squandering or something, spending money is called a big spending, it costs tens of millions a month, your son is going to start a business now, and I am not going to squander, why don't you support me, my rich second generation is too aggrieved." Zhou Xiaokun was a little anxious at this time, he really had the idea of making a movie now, and he must get the five million.

And his words, to Zhou Weimin's ears, are quite reasonable, he thought about it carefully, it is true, since Li Qiuzhen appeared in his life again, his requirements for his son have become stricter, in fact, this is all due to the fact that he wants his son to get ahead as soon as possible and succeed as soon as possible, just to let Li Qiuzhen see that he has taught his son well.

But in this way, isn't it just asking his son to pay for his past mistakes?

That's not fair to my son!

Isn't it just for the next generation to make so much money, and his son is indeed starting a business now, he is not going to squander.

Thinking of this, Zhou Weimin suddenly laughed heartily: "You're right, you, the rich second generation, really don't live like a rich second generation, Dad should give you more money and let you spend it casually." ”
