Looking at Zhang Ran and their departing figures, Yu Minghai was full of helplessness. I thought it would be a safe win, but I didn't expect it to be this ending.

Looking back at the people left behind, they were all dejected, like frosted eggplants, which looked like a crew that was about to start filming. He somewhat understood why Zhang Ran wanted to let him hold this dinner, just to hit the morale of his side. This kid is really insidious!

Yu Minghai looked at Zhang Zhiliang, sighed and said, "Director Zhang, the movie will be handed over to you, don't let me down!"

Zhang Zhiliang said confidently: "This is definitely no problem, this movie will be the most commercial film I have ever made." We not only want to make enough money at the box office, but also to fully blossom at the Academy Awards and Golden Horse Awards, and make a masterpiece where art and commerce coexist!"

Yu Minghai nodded and said, "I believe in Director Zhang." As long as this film is successful, it will play a good role in demonstrating and driving more directors from Hong Kong to cooperate with the mainland!"

Zhang Zhiliang said with feeling: "Now that the Xiangjiang film market has been greatly affected by Hollywood, it is becoming more and more difficult to find investment, and cooperation in the north has become the trend of the times, and I believe that our cooperation will be a good start." ”

Yu Minghai nodded, the era of domestic commercial films is coming, but there are too few domestic directors who can make commercial films. Hong Kong has a lot of talents in this area, and as long as it can establish good cooperation with Hong Kong, it will have a lot to do in the future. He did not hesitate to risk offending Nortel and grabbed the Zhang Ran project, just for this.

Coming out of the restaurant, Zhang Ran let out a long sigh of relief. He stood still, saw that everyone was looking at him, raised two fingers, and said loudly: "When filming "Time Prisoner", I told everyone that if you get 5 points, you will get 500,000 as a reward. Now I also make a promise, when the filming of "Burst Drummer" is finished, no matter what the final profit is, I will give 20% as a dividend to reward everyone, if the profit is 10 million, this number is 2 million, if Lin Run is 20 million, it is 4 million. It's up to you how much you can get!"

As soon as the words fell, not only the new members of the crew were stunned, but even the old people who participated in the filming of "Time Prisoner" were stunned. 20% of the profit as dividends, which is really too generous!

The scene was silent!

Zhang Ran looked around, looked at a pair of excited and enthusiastic eyes, and said with a smile: "Why is there no reaction at all, don't you want it?"

Thunderous reply: "Yes!"

Zhang Ran nodded with satisfaction: "Because some actors and crew members withdrew, our film had to re-select actors." This takes time, so the boot time will be delayed. Everyone, don't be impatient, in twenty days, we will officially start the machine!"

After a few words of appeasement, the others dispersed, waiting for the day of start-up with unlimited hope, while several main creators of the crew returned to Qingying Studio with Zhang Ran and came to the conference room for a meeting. The crew has gone through some crew members and actors, the crew members are simple, Nortel does not lack talents in this area at all, the key is that the actors have to be re-selected.

After sitting down in the office, everyone was talking about the whole incident enthusiastically, everyone didn't expect it to be such a play, and everyone felt extremely excited.

Ning Hao asked curiously, "Director, where did you borrow 10 million?"

Everyone pricked up their ears, and they all thought it was incredible, this is 10 million, not 1,000 yuan, where did it come from?

Zhang Ran laughed and said: "Yu Minghai is actually right, I only borrowed 2.2 million from Li Junwei, and then I took 800,000 yuan myself, adding up to a total of 3 million, and now I have so much money in my hand for the time being." ”

Hearing this, everyone present was dumbfounded, three million, this money is not enough at all!

Zhang Ran smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, I have already said hello to the movie channel, and I will pre-sell "Bursting Drummer" to them for a price of one million." I have also contacted Lenovo, and we will implant Lenovo's mobile phone advertisements in the movie, with the implantation effect of "Time Prisoner", it should not be a problem to collect 2 million from them this time. It adds up to six million, and now without the Xiangjiang team, the money should be enough! Even if it is not enough, it doesn't matter, Li Junwei has been raising funds for creative media recently, and it should be completed within this month. I have a little stake in Creative Media, and when the time comes, I will mortgage the shares and borrow a few million, so you don't have to worry about money!"

In less than two months, Li Junwei burned 5 million, won 50 office buildings, and laid 300 LCD TVs. Now he is talking to SoftBank about financing, and plans to raise $10 million with 20% of the shares. With Li Junwei's ability and the prospect of building advertising, he will definitely be able to successfully raise funds. At that time, although the shares in Zhang Ran's hands will be diluted to 20%, in terms of value, this part of the shares will be worth 10 million US dollars, and borrowing a few million is really not too much of a problem.

Ning Hao reminded: "Director, you forgot that there is still Yu Minghai and the upfront payment they refunded, which is almost six or seven hundred thousand!"

Hearing this, everyone laughed, this is really no guns and no cannons, the enemy made it for us!

It was only now that Qiu Yuanxu understood why Zhang Ran said that if he had no way two months ago, now he has a way. Because two months ago, "Time Prisoner" had not yet been broadcast, and the effect of the advertisement had not yet come out, Li Junwei would not value him so much, and it was impossible to borrow money from Li Junwei.

Qiu Yuanxu was full of emotion in his heart, Zhang Ran looked harmless to humans and animals, but if he wanted to call it real, he was much more powerful than Yu Minghai's gang!

Yu Minghai and they thought that as soon as they withdrew their investment, the crew of "Burst Drummer" would fall apart, and they could easily take the people they needed and rebuild the group. As soon as Zhang Ran made a light move, he grabbed Yu Minghai's vital point, making him unable to advance or retreat, and in the end he could only pay for it and leave.

Qiu Yuanxu said with a smile: "Yu Minghai will definitely regret it, just like the person who rejected "Time Prisoner" from Samsung, he will definitely regret it!"

Zhang Ran said helplessly: "No way, now the domestic film and television sector is particularly superstitious about the Xiangjiang team, and Zhang Zhiliang is indeed a bit famous, and I have made a TV movie until now, and I have not proven myself at the box office, so it is not surprising that Yu Minghai did not choose me! If I were Feng Xiaogang, the result would be different!"

Qiu Yuanxu said with some sighs: "Yes, our Qingying Studio found a third-rate director in Xiangjiang to make a film the year before last, but it turned out to be a mess. Now that I think about it, it's really a brain pump!"

Zhang Ran said: "In fact, the main reason is that there is too much lack of commercial film directors in the mainland. As far as commercial films are concerned, directors of Hong Kong do have a great advantage, which is their strength. ”

Ning Hao groaned: "You said that if Yu Minghai knew that he was tricked by us, would he retaliate and stumble us after the movie was made?"

Zhang Ran shook his head with a smile and said, "Yu Minghai will not only use his relationship to stumble us, but also help us speak." Because once something happens to our film, we will inevitably think that they are making small moves behind the scenes, and they will definitely retaliate, and their movie will be finished. Yu Minghai is a businessman, making money is his goal, and he will not do such a vindictive move. ”

Everyone nodded thoughtfully, the reason why Yu Minghai was willing to pay money was actually from the perspective of interests.

"Let's get down to business, let me talk about the next crew arrangement. Zhang Ran looked up at Ning Hao and said seriously, "Ning Hao, I'll leave it to you to talk to Lenovo about implantation, I'll talk to Director Wu of Lenovo on the phone, and you can just talk to him when the time comes." ”

Ning Hao nodded and said, "No problem, I'll try!"

"It's okay, you can talk about it boldly, it doesn't matter if you can't talk about it, it's just a workout. Zhang Ran patted Ning Hao's shoulder, then looked at the casting assistant director Huang Wei and said, "Huang Wei, please contact Feng Yuanyi, Chen Wei is the most suitable for this role in addition to Wang Zhiwen." ”

Hearing Feng Yuan's stunnedness, everyone present exchanged glances and nodded to each other. Feng Yuanyi's acting skills didn't say, it is indeed a good choice to let him play this role.

Zhang Ran continued: "The two actors who replace Edison Chen and Yu Wenle must be able to play drums, and I have only one candidate, and the actor is called Huang Bo. You can go to the Academic Affairs Office to check, he took this year's art exam and was admitted to our school's dubbing class! You look for it from the performance department of our school and see if there is one, so we don't need to check it in our class, if it doesn't work, we can go to Chinese opera, or if it doesn't work, we can go to the conservatory!"

In fact, Jia Niangliang in Zhang Ran's class can play drums, and he plays well, but Zhang Ran has a word first, and the students in the class can't take over the play in the first year, and he can't break his promise.

"What did Huang Bo do before, can you do it?" Ning Hao couldn't help but be a little worried when he heard that Huang Bo was a student who had just been admitted to Nortel this year.

"I acted in a TV movie "Get in the Car, Let's Go", and the acting was okay. Of course, the main thing is the true color performance. Letting him play "Burst Drummer" is also to let him perform in his true colors, he is a singer himself, he can play drums, it is not a big problem!" Zhang Ran felt a little funny, Ning Hao actually doubted Huang Bo's acting skills. He really wanted to say to Ning Hao, he is your future friend, how can you doubt him?

Hearing Zhang Ran say this, Ning Hao nodded, he had watched "Get in the Car, Let's Go" and knew who it was.

Zhang Ran said to Huang Wei: "There are some other actors, you just need to find someone according to our original requirements." ”

Huang Wei asked, "What about the actor Zhou Xu?"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "It's Jay Chou, I asked Mr. Huang Lei to contact him, and the other party has agreed to act, and he will come to Peking in the afternoon the day after tomorrow!"

Qiu Yuanxu couldn't help but give a thumbs up, everything was under Zhang Ran's control. These days, Zhang Ran seems to be in the crew except for class, and he doesn't seem to have any action, but in fact, he has done everything he needs to do.
