In socialist countries, power is the boss; And in capitalist countries, money is the master. These two things are vulgar things that have been disgraced by literati and scholars since ancient times, so every successful person with modern values is actually a layman in essence, but who doesn't want to be a layman?

With the money, everything became simpler, and everyone was gathered at the main store of the seven restaurants by phone, and Uncle Xiansen ordered them one by one.

"Brent, I'll leave all the camera equipment to you, I can only give you a maximum of 100,000 dollars, so you must prepare all the tools needed for filming within 100,000 dollars, we can't afford it, we can only rent it, and we have to rent it for more than two months, and the specific arrangement of time and money will trouble you."

The director is in a sense the leader of a film, and a qualified leader has to let his subordinates do their jobs, such as photography for Brent to do more efficiently and more securely.

"Director, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task, I have familiar friends in terms of equipment."

Brent swore that he had been playing photography for so many years, and it was not difficult to rent a basic facility for 100,000 yuan.

Nodding, Xiansen looked at another person.

"Jo'er, all the other staff members of the crew have to ask you, such as scene cleaning and the like, you have more connections in Hollywood, and you are more familiar with the rules than me, so I also give you a budget of 100,000 US dollars, remember, this includes the salaries of all the staff and other maintenance costs, please."

After receiving Xiansen's notice, Julie Barrymore knew that there must be no good thing, no, not to mention that he joined with zero pay, and now he actually has to help find the drama staff, this kind of thing in the eyes of others, it is simply self-inflicted, also known as lack of heart

Frowning, she glanced at Xiansen gently, and after seeing Xiansen's pouting and cute and pitiful appearance, Julie Barrymore couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. This smile is like a captivating city, like a dream, and the saliva of Xiansen is about to flow out.

"Ahem."

I really couldn't stand Xiansen's pig brother appearance, Leonardo coughed quietly.

"Ahh

Wiping the liquid from the corner of his mouth, Xiansen continued: "This, I believe that Ju'er will be able to complete the task well. ”

Julie Barrymore may not have noticed that since some time, Xiansen has been calling her Julie, and she is not disgusted by this.

"Leo, you are the person who is most familiar with the script besides me, and you also have your own understanding of each role, so I need you to help me recruit some actors with the group, the salary will definitely not be very high, and it is best to control it at about ten to twenty percent of the budget."

For the budget of this movie, Xiansen is ready to control it at about one million US dollars, and he has to use the remaining more than 400,000 yuan as an emergency budget, after all, the filming of the movie cannot be smooth sailing, and it is always necessary to prepare some money to prevent accidents.

"No, director, you see we all have something to do, what about you? What are you going to do? ”

Julie Barrymore smiled and asked a question, and it became apparent that Xiansen didn't have to do anything himself.

"Yes, yes, director, you haven't arranged for me to do anything yet?"

Rachel, who had been silently staying next to Xiansen, also hurriedly asked.

"Of course I have something, I'm going to deal with some unscrupulous dealers, and as for Rachel, just stay home and help me promote the movie online, remember, be sure to upload those three photos of Brent to the table."

The three photos mentioned by Xiansen are Brent's artistic photos for the three actors, Jule's charming seduction, Rachel's innocence and loveliness, Leonardo's chic and handsome, the three photos are three completely different styles, and if they are uploaded to the Internet, they will definitely have good results.

"Alright, that's it, let's go!"

With a wave of his hand, the four of them walked towards the door with full of energy, why the four people, because Brent used the camera in the back to freeze this scene forever.

"The First Step," which was the caption that Brent attached to the photo years later

Xiansen is indeed ready to deal with unscrupulous businessmen, to be precise, he is ready to go to some stores to attract investment, such as jewelry stores, daily necessities stores, etc., advertisements can be implanted in movies, and Xiansen knows this better than most directors, because he has only shot an advertisement similar to a micro-movie, so as long as the advertisement does not affect the plot, he has no opinion.

"Jewelry, cosmetics, mobile phones, cakes, hotels"

Counting the more than ten contracts in his satchel, Xiansen's face couldn't help but smile, he finally did one thing these days, which also gave him more confidence in himself, after all, the continuous rejection by the film company some time ago was still a big blow to him.

In fact, a film company like Lionsgate was originally ready to invest in Xiansen, but the premise was that Xiansen could only be an assistant director, so Xiansen himself refused such a condition. Assistant director? Does anyone remember the assistant director of a movie?

These more than a dozen contracts are all different kinds of things, and they are basically things that need to be used in the movie, although they are small brands, but the placement of these soft advertisements can not only allow Xiansen to save a props fee, but also add up to nearly 300,000 US dollars in sponsorship, of course, these are all pulled by Leonardo's fame.

In fact, Xiansen originally wanted to go to large companies to attract advertising investment, such as KFC, McDonald's, etc., but the reality is that people don't care about his movies at all, and in terms of fame, his movie is not as famous as a McNuggets.

"Evil capitalists."

As soon as he thought of the advertisers who proposed bizarre conditions, Xiansen couldn't help but curse, such as this "crown" jewelry sponsored by 50,000 US dollars, saying that the heroine should always wear their brand ring, and give a close-up, and finally after some bargaining, Xiansen successfully changed the condition to the heroine has been wearing their company's stud earrings, and the ring will give a three-second close-up.

As for this close-up, Xiansen is going to put it at the beginning of the movie, to put it simply, it is to use a ring to replace the 0 in the title of the movie "50 First Loves", but the contract does not say that the close-up of the ring must appear in the plot, so for Xiansen, such an advertising placement adds a bit of romance to his movie.

"I'm sorry, but that's my movie rule."

With a snap of his fingers, Xiansen decided to go to the next company, and his appetite was far from satisfied!
