Chapter 482: I Invest Twelve Million!
(4,000 words big chapter sent to!
Hollywood is a place of psychedelic hope, but at the same time a world of despair.
Every year, countless young people who think they are talented come here to pursue their dreams, and then every year, I don't know how many young people hit the streets and quit the Hollywood stage.
"I'm sorry, Pete, if you can't get investment again, then I choose to quit the movie "Bloodline in the Night", and I also choose to quit your Rohmon company, you haven't paid me for three months!"
"Aven, didn't you say that even if you didn't make money, you would make this movie? Moreover, this is a critical period for our company, you can't leave!"
"Not profitable, Pete, if it weren't for the fact that you were classmates in our university, and your script still has some potential, I really wouldn't have agreed to act in your movie, I regret it now, I ask you, how much investment has your "Bloodline of the Night" pulled now?"
"I ......"
"It's just more than 100,000 yuan, right? And more than 100,000 yuan is still the money you cobbled together from people when you opened a company, right? More than 100,000 yuan, you still want to make a movie? What kind of international jokes are you making?" Evan glanced at Pete and exhaled deeply, "Pete, forget it, isn't it good for you to honestly go to work in other film and television companies now? You must open a company and become a director, but the key is, who buys your account? Who do you think you are? Are you God?"
"I ...... Aven, I hope you can hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer, okay?"
"Pete, tomorrow, tomorrow morning at the latest, if you don't get another three million dollars invested, I'll quit your company immediately...... And, hopefully, you'll settle my wages before I leave, or I'll sue you for unpaid wages!"
“……”
Pete watched as Evan left the remote cabin with a hint of gray in his eyes.
Before graduating, he had ambitions to make a career in Hollywood, and after graduating, he did plan a lot of things, such as perfecting the script of "Bloodline in the Night", which he had written for nearly three years, opening Romans Films, and recruiting a group of barely professional media company employees......
However, five years after graduation, the imaginary outbreak has not ushered in, but the number of employees is getting fewer and fewer day by day, and the company is getting more and more difficult day by day.
Except for some advertising planning business, there is no other business in the company at all, let alone making movies.
Hollywood is indeed a crazy place where he can make you famous overnight or bankrupt overnight.
Pete knew he was going bankrupt.
Pete's total belongings are about 500,000 yuan, and 500,000 yuan is a sky-high price for a college student who has just come out of society, but it is a bit unsatisfactory to use it as the original funds to get ahead in Hollywood.
Half a million, what can be done?
Especially in the so-called film and television companies that can't make a movie, what can he do?
Make a movie?
Are you kidding.
As night slowly fell, Pete locked the door and glanced at the bar lights in the distance, and from time to time there was a shout of excitement, this is indeed a world full of hope.
But Pete is desperate and desperate!
"If I go out to make another investment, I must shoot "Bloodblood in the Night", definitely, yes!" Pete gritted his teeth.
In fact, Pete also thought about handing the script to some large companies and selling the script, so that his Rohm company could maintain a few days without going out of business, but the reality was quite cruel and slapped him hard.
"Bloodblood in the Night" is very good in Pitt's opinion, as long as it is filmed, it definitely has the potential to be a big hit, but it is worthless to others.
How many pitches do these big studios receive in a year?
Will people call you a little-known Pete? Will people call you "Bloodlines of the Night" or "Players of the Night"?
That's the reality!
Yes, the reality of the naked dew.
Coming to the bustling streets of Hollywood, Pete took the script and continued to look for those stars he knew and were famous, or looked like rich wrongdoers, but unfortunately, Pete was finally disappointed after walking around.
Hollywood may have a big boss, but a little bit of a dick like Pete looks like a little bit, and no big guy will listen to Pitt talk about investment and movies.
At this moment, he felt that his Rohm Film Company was a chicken rib.
Filing for company closure?
After all, the company has invested countless efforts to buy countless shooting equipment, and these shooting equipment are brand new.
But how long can he hold out if he doesn't apply for bankruptcy? Three or four days at most, when the landlord comes again and asks for rent......
Well, go out of business and go out of business.
It would be great if someone who was wronged could read my script and buy my company by the way.
At this moment, he is like the little match girl in a fairy tale, and he is very sad.
But where?
Just as Pete was about to give up, he suddenly saw a young man reading an English book sitting next to the fountain in the middle of the street.
Yes, young people indeed!
A Chinese man who is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a hat, and looks like a nerd.
Of course, Pete doesn't care about this nerd at ordinary times, but at this moment, Pete can see at a glance that this nerd is very rich, or too rich.
Nonsense, this nerd is wearing the latest style of Baleno this year!
Pitt happened to look up the price of this dress on the Internet, and a coat alone cost about $300,000......
300,000 is not important, the important thing is that this dress is a limited edition, only 1,000 pieces worldwide!
Then, when Pete got a little closer, Pete suddenly saw the watch in the young man's hand.
This watch is a Swiss luxury watch KH series.
The name KH may not have been heard by ordinary people, but Pete had heard it by chance from an upper-class party.
Each of KH's watches is a limited edition, and each watch is worth a small building in Los Angeles......
After five years of tragedy in Hollywood, Pi Jie didn't learn, but he learned the ability to see people......
Local tyrants, wronged bosses, so fooled!
Pete had the idea instantly.
Pete's heart twitched, trembled, and even had a hint of pressure!
Pete let out a long breath!
He was very glad that he learned Huaxia when he was in college, and he learned it well, and his tutors praised him for his talent in languages.
He plans to use the knowledge he has learned in the past five years to fool this Chinese person well, even if he fails in the end and is called to the police and imprisoned by the Chinese people, it doesn't matter.
He's really at the end of his rope!
He can only fight for it, what if he succeeds?
………………………………
After Chu Qing finished filming today's "Insomnia" task, he found a place in Los Angeles with a decent environment and took out his English book and learned it.
Not knowing English is a very fucked up thing in Hollywood, just like being dumb and looking very helpless.
Feel free, Chu Qing learned from the pain, and he must learn English.
"Hello......" At this time, Chu Qing heard a very lame Huaxia voice next to him.
Chu Qing looked up and saw a tall American young man.
"Hello. Chu Qing was a little strange, he didn't know this young American.
Did you come here to ask for directions?
I don't know the way to ask for directions.
"Introduce myself, I'm the boss of Rohm Films, Pete, this is my business card......" Pete tried his best to speak what he thought was very professional and smooth Huaxia, and respectfully handed his business card to Chu Qing, of course, this looked like an insurance salesman, although Pete himself didn't think so.
"Oh......" Chu Qing put down the book and took the business card with both hands and looked at it very seriously.
The business cards are beautiful.
It looks pretty tall.
Well, seriously, he could only understand a few words on the business card, except for a few words, Chu Qing didn't know what the sentence written on the business card meant.
"Hello, is there anything I can do to help you?"
However, although he didn't understand the meaning of a business card, Chu Qing still showed an expression and smile that I could understand.
There's a play!
After Pete saw Chu Qing's expression, he was suddenly excited!
"That's right, I'm preparing a movie now, the name of this movie is "Bloodline in the Night", well, this is my script......" Pete compiled a copy of the script of "Bloodline in the Night" and handed it to Chu Qing.
"......" Chu Qing looked at the dense English letters on the script, and then was confused.
What the hell is this about?
You know I'm not very good at English now, and you still show me this, what do you mean?
"Oh, sorry, I got it wrong, it's this script. ”
After looking at Chu Qing's bewildered expression, Pete suddenly remembered that this local tyrant was not very proficient in English, and he hurriedly took out another script from his pocket that was almost yellowed.
Thankfully, I'm prepared......
In fact, it is not only a Chinese script, but also a script in at least three languages in his bag.
Well, I'm pretty well prepared.
Chu Qing took the script and glanced at it hastily, and then found that this script was indeed quite well written, at least it was quite appetizing to Chu Qing.
This script tells the story of vampires and werewolves, and the plot is a bit similar to the "Legend of the Night" in Chu Qing's original world, but some of the detailed dialogues are slightly more detailed than "Legend of the Night......
The cost of filming this movie is not cheap, but if it can really be made and brought special effects, then this movie will definitely not hit the streets, and even be a small hit.
This was Chu Qing's first thought after reading the script.
Of course, despite these first feelings, Chu Qing still looked up at Pete with a smile.
What did he do when he showed himself this script?
"Sir, what do you think of this script?" Pete looked at Chu Qing hopefully.
"This script is good, what's wrong?" Chu Qing handed the script to Pete and asked strangely, "Is there any problem?"
"That's right, sir, do you believe in fate?"
"Fate?" Chu Qing is even more strange, I'm talking about the script here, why are you involved in fate over there?
Do you look at fortune tellers?
"Actually, when I saw you for the first time, I thought you had the potential to become a Hollywood superstar, so I wanted you to participate in this movie, oh, by the way, if the script of "Bloodlines of the Night" is made into a movie, it will definitely be a big hit, I can guarantee that, after all, this show is ......" Pete began to spit on the stars flying sideways.
In short, from all angles and aspects, the script of "Bloodline in the Night" began to fool the sky, blowing as if this movie was definitely the number one Hollywood movie.
Chu Qing could still listen to it at first, but when Pete blew up the English, Chu Qing fell into a state of confusion again.
What are you talking about?
"What do you think of this movie?Have you considered investing in it?" Seeing Chu Qing's bewildered appearance, Pete finally let out a long breath and looked at Chu Qing.
"Uh...... It's not bad," Chu Qing scratched his head and pushed his black-rimmed glasses.
Why have you been bragging for so long, just to get me to invest in your films?
"I saw that you had eyes, and I saw that you had a lot of potential, so I came to look for you today, I think it's a fate......" Pete even used his skills in picking up girls in college on Chu Qing's body.
He continued to pull up fate.
And the performance of the whole person is very exaggerated, quite a kind of posture of seeing a fellow countryman......
"......" Chu Qing was speechless when he watched Pete's performance, he really couldn't understand what Pete said when he was excited, your Chinese language is too lame, but although he didn't understand, he still looked at Pete very politely: "If you are sure that this script was written by you, and you have your own film company and a license and identity certificate, then investing in me can be considered." Chu Qing nodded.
He is still a little interested in "Bloodline in the Night".
After all, although he is not too rich now, at least he is not short of money.
"Wow, yes, yes, I'm going to take you there? I've got the relevant copyright certificate here, and I'm definitely not lying to you. ”
"Well, good. Chu Qing looked at the time, and it was still early, so he put down the English book and followed Pete towards Pete's Rohm Company.
Pete, who was walking in front, was in a nervous mood.
Yes, it's nervous.
This is the first investment in my life!
Pete was thrilled.
Although Rohmon is a little remote, when renting the storefront, Pete still deliberately found a relatively large storefront, and at the same time, the decoration is also a bloody investment!
…………………………
Half an hour later.
"How much investment do you need?"
"That...... I...... Two million, I'll ......" Pete looked at Chu Qing worriedly, two million was an astronomical amount for Pete.
"Two million?" Chu Qing shook his head.
"That...... One million is also okay......" After Pete saw Chu Qing shaking his head, he suddenly felt his heart cold.
"One million ......" Chu Qing glanced at Pete, his eyes were a little complicated.
"That'...... 500,000, 500,000 is always okay, right?" Pete was about to cry, and he finally found the wrongdoer, but he couldn't throw it away.
"......" Chu Qing continued to shake his head.
"I ...... 500,000, my company will sell it to you, although my company looks a little bad, but I promise, I promise that it has a lot ......of potential" Pete finally cried, and even if Chu Qing nodded, he could kneel in front of Chu Qing.
Dignity?
What dignity do you want!
Not at all!
It was at this time......
"I invested 12 million to buy your company and your movie scripts. ”
"What? twelve million?" Pete's eyes widened.
"Renminbi?"
"Dollar ......" Chu Qing looked at Pete.
"......" Pete opened his mouth.
He suddenly felt like he was going to have a heart attack......
Groove, groove, groove......
