"An Asian truck driver came to Iraq to work as a contractor in order to make money. But at work, he was attacked by a terrorist attack and fainted, and when he woke up, he found himself buried alive in a coffin, somewhere in the desert......" Zhang Yuanjun slowly told the story of "Buried Alive" to Rodrigo Cortez.

Rodrigo Cortez makes short films, and directors with a background in short films have a very distinctive characteristic - they are good at controlling costs.

Simply put, they can do more with less.

Rodrigo Cortez was quickly attracted by this story and exclaimed: "Zhang, this story is so wonderful, give me 3 million, no, 2 million, I will definitely be able to shoot him." ”

Zhang Yuanjun said: "I just have a general story, and if I want to make a 90-minute feature film, I need to rewrite the script." ”

"I know a lot of good screenwriters who are sure to be interested in your story. Zhang, this story must be filmed by me. Rodrigo realised that this could be the closest he would get to a theatrical feature film in his seven years in the industry.

He must grasp it.

But Zhang Yuanjun was not so easily convinced, but said his own conditions: "I can temporarily hand over this story to you, but I want to make the script myself, at least one month, at most 50 days, I will come up with a script for you, and if you can't shoot it at that time, I will change people at any time." ”

"Deal!" Without the slightest hesitation, Rodrigo accepted Zhang Yuanjun's challenge.

Sending Rodrigo away, Zhang Yuanjun was finally clean.

Xiao Zhao was on the side the whole time and couldn't understand.

"Okay, let's find someone to register a studio in Hollywood, so that we can be active here in the future."

"Huh?" Xiao Zhao didn't understand.

Zhang Yuanjun didn't intend to hide it from her: "I just talked to that foreign devil about a movie." ”

"We're going to make a Hollywood movie?!"

"If he can do what I say, then shoot."

"Really!" Xiao Zhao died happily, "Really, really?!" ”

"One or two million investment, is it worth being so happy?"

"Why is it not worth it, how many people in China can't shoot if they want to come to Hollywood to film, let's come here for a vacation to talk about a Hollywood movie, and envy them to death! No, I'll contact our studio right away and get you the word out. ”

"Don't rush yet." Zhang Yuanjun stopped, "The script is not good yet, I will talk about it when the script is written, now I have only drawn a stroke of the eight characters, and it is not good to publicize it." Also, don't tell Yifei about this, you tell her everything I do, whether I'm your boss or she's your boss. ”

"They're all friends, I know what I'm afraid of." Xiao Zhao said softly.

Zhang Yuanjun said again: "Isn't Yifei going back to New York today, let's go, let's send it." ”

The film festival ended, and Liu Yifei had enough of playing in Los Angeles and set off for New York.

On the way to the airport, Liu Xiaoli took the initiative to say: "Xiao Zhang, in a few days, you must come to the 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony of Sissi." ”

"Where?" Zhang Yuanjun asked knowingly.

Liu Xiaoli smiled and said: "It's in the capital, the State Guesthouse." ”

"Impressive." Zhang Yuanjun praised.

Liu Xiaoli was a little unhappy when she heard this: "I originally said that it would be good to find a slightly high-grade hotel to be lively, but I didn't expect them to arrange it in the State Guesthouse, which was too high-profile and extravagant." ”

In order to make the mother and daughter happy, Zhang Yuanjun just said: "The coming-of-age ceremony, if it is high-profile, it will be high-profile, and it will be this time in life." Auntie, when are you going to return home? ”

"It's probably just a few days, what about you, Xiao Zhang?"

"I'm pretty much the same, I'll go back in two or three days."

"You must come when the time comes, you are Sissi's classmates, you can't help but come."

"Okay, yes, I will come." Zhang Yuanjun agreed with a smile.

Seeing off the mother and daughter, Zhang Zhao and the others went back.

In Hollywood, countless studios are registered and countless are written off every day.

Zhang Yuanjun found an agency, gave some money, and quickly registered the studio.

It's an empty shell, but it's not surprising that there are more of these things in Hollywood.

After signing up for the studio, it's almost time for the two to end their trip to the United States.

"You're really not going back?" Before leaving, Zhang Yuanjun asked the eldest brother again.

"I can't go back, I've already called my parents." Zhang Leping said bitterly that his parents had a 50th birthday banquet, but as the eldest son, he couldn't be by his side, and he felt very guilty.

"Okay, then I'll go."

"Let's go."

Zhang Zhao and the others landed in the capital, and they went to the studio without falling down from jet lag.

"Come on, come on, everyone has a share," Zhang Yuanjun sent gifts to the staff, "Don't say that I'm the boss's door, genuine dolls, bought on the Avenue of Stars." ”

"But it says made in China on the back."

Zhang Yuanjun: "That's also genuine!" Do you love it? There's also a commemorative T-shirt, which is Avril's album, and chocolates, keychains. Take it and divide it. ”

Zhang Yuanjun endured the jet lag and listened to the work report of the half month he left.

"You have been away for half a month, and you have personally pressed a few jobs behind you."

"Help me push for two more days, I'll do it with jet lag."

Zhang Yuanjun spent two days adjusting to the jet lag, and spent another 2 days taking 5 interviews, 3 covers, and 2 nearby commercial performances.

Zhang Yuanjun temporarily cleaned up the work in his hand and went back to the school to see Teacher Tian's preparations.

"You slapped your ass and went on vacation to the United States, throw this stall to me." Tian Xiangxiang complained.

"It's not in vain that you're busy," he said, taking out a bottle of good wine, "Good wine, I can't even give it to our teacher Wang, I am filial to you." ”

After staying with Mr. Tian for a day and reading the storyboard manuscript he drew, his art and photography skills are really not comparable to ordinary directors.

Mr. Tian did not carry out any particularly bold experiments on this film, and it seems that he also wants to complete a commercial film steadily.

The next day, as soon as Zhang Yuanjun arrived at the studio, he learned a huge news: Wang Jinghua left Huayi, shocking the entire entertainment industry.

Those who left with Chen Daoming, Xia Yu, Hu Jun and others followed.

Wang Jinghua switched to Orange Sky Entertainment, and the outside world generally looked down on Huayi, saying that Wang Jinghua "hollowed out Huayi".

As a result, Wang Zhongjun, who has always been deep behind the scenes, had to show up and declare: "It's almost the same if I leave, Huayi can be without anyone!" ”

What the outside world said is indeed exaggerated, Wang Jinghua took away a lot of big names, but Huayi still has Li Bingbing and Fan Bingbing in his hands, these two are now super first-line.

However, the contract between the two and Huayi still expires in 1 year, and the outside world is now waiting to see the excitement.

On the third day after the turmoil, Zhang Yuanjun received a call from Wang Zhonglei, inviting him to eat in the banquet hall of the Huayi headquarters building in the evening: "Please be sure to come and discuss something." Wang Zhonglei was very polite.

Zhang Yuanjun didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, and the other party had long known that he didn't sign the company.

So, Zhang Yuanjun agreed to go to the banquet in the evening to see what the other party was doing.
