Wu Jing is really desperate.

The preliminary preparations for "The Wolf of the Special Forces" were extremely difficult, and I have carried it down for more than a year, changing the script, building the crew, making the scene, communicating with the military region about weapon sponsorship, everything is as difficult as the sky, is it bitter, it is really bitter, Wu Jing also admits that it is bitter, but there is no way, his acting career is all bet on this film.

If this film is not successful, he can only go back to playing the supporting role of being beaten, and he doesn't know where the next chance will be.

However, the preparation for "Special Forces Wolf Warrior" really can't go on until now.

Nobody threw money!

Since the script was finalized, he has been running with the story to the relationship with investors, and now he has met more than 30 large and small film companies, and none of them are willing to invest.

said to invest less, two or three million ginseng shares no one voted.

In desperation, Wu Jing asked relatives and friends to borrow it, but when people heard that he borrowed it to make a movie and became a director himself, few people were willing to lend him money.

After a circle, I didn't borrow much money, and I made people hate dogs, and I was not a person inside and out.

I also ordered my savings over the years, and it is enough to live a stable life, but if you want to make a film, it is a bit worse.

He didn't dare to tell his girlfriend Xie Nan, who had just been together, that he wanted to use the money to make a movie.

In desperation, he could only come to Zhang Yuanjun with a cheeky face.

"The Wolf of Special Forces" received a lot of help from Zhang Yuanjun in the script creation stage, Wu Jing was very grateful to him, and now he wants to find someone to borrow money, he can't wipe his face.

But the car "Wolf Warrior" really can't see any other way now, and no matter how embarrassed it is, I have to go.

Wu Jing said on the phone that he would invite Zhang Yuanjun to dinner in the evening, and Zhang Yuanjun happily agreed.

Wu Jing didn't say that he invited Liu Yifei, he had his own careful thoughts, he was worried that when the two of them were drinking, when he proposed to borrow money, Liu Yifei would object, how ugly the situation of the three of them was at that time.

Although he also knows that Liu Yifei doesn't value money, who knows what she thinks when she is married.

And Wu Jing didn't borrow a small amount of money, so he deliberately avoided Liu Yifei.

Zhang Yuanjun only brought his assistant Xiao Zhao to the banquet, and Wu Jing politely asked why he didn't bring Yifei here.

Zhang Yuanjun smiled: "She is busier than me now." I met the investors today, and the crew tomorrow, I haven't seen my wife for several days. ”

Wu Jing knew that Liu Yifei was making her second literary film, so she casually asked about the situation.

Zhang Yuanjun said: "It's okay, these days I have been working with the director and screenwriter to figure out the actors who changed the script." ”

"You really don't care?"

Zhang Yuanjun smiled: "She won't let me care, you know Yifei's temper, she is stubborn to death." No matter how easy I am, anyway, the total cost is 10 million, let her toss. ”

After gossiping, the two began to push the cup and change the lamp, talking about some things about the wind and snow, and the news of absurd gossip was also lively.

When the wine was drunk, Wu Jing poured bitter water on Zhang Yuanjun, saying that no one supported him to make the movie "Wolf Warrior", and he didn't dare to tell Xie Nan that he couldn't attract investment.

"Every time we meet, I say that the preparations are very good, and we will definitely be able to start this year."

"I thought about it, if I really can't get investment, I will smash the pot and sell iron, and sell my belongings, I don't believe that I can't shoot it."

Zhang Yuanjun was not drunk, Wu Jing said it with the strength of wine, he heard every word very clearly, and he understood the meaning.

He joked, "What do you have?" ”

Wu Jing gritted his teeth and said, "My house is still worth a few dollars, I sold the house!" ”

"Sell a house? Aren't you afraid that Xie Nan will fight hard with you? ”

"That's it." Wu Jing didn't know the truth in this, "You said that the girl followed me with the front foot, and I sold the house with the back foot, am I still a human being?" ”

Xie Nan is a very reasonable woman on weekdays, but Wu Jing doesn't know what Xie Nan's attitude is when it comes to selling houses and filming, and she doesn't dare to tell her.

Wu Jing is 39 years old, not young, he really can't afford to lose.

Zhang Yuanjun probed his bottom: "How much budget do you have for "Wolf Warrior" now?" ”

Wu Jingdao: "Less than 30 million, about two thousand, four or five." ”

"Military action movies don't have enough money, how can you get so many weapons and equipment?"

"In the past two or three years, I have become familiar with the leaders of the military region, and they are willing to support me, but they only provide weapons and equipment, and do not give money."

"Special Forces: The Knives Out of the Sheath" was not filmed in vain, and training in the military camp was not in vain.

"That's a lot of savings."

"Yes, more than 20 million is mainly the crew's salary, equipment and some post-production expenses."

Zhang Yuanjun choked Wu Jing to death with one sentence: "What about Xuanfa? Don't want money for publicity? ”

Wu Jingli was very bitter: "I can't even get the money for filming now, and I still want to publicize it." Wu Jing made his words clear, took Zhang Yuanjun's hand and said bitterly: "Third brother, if you really treat your brother as a brother, you can lend me some money." ”

Zhang Yuanjun looked at Wu Jing and continued to listen to him: "This money is my personal borrowing, not your investment, and I will pay you back the money if the movie loses." If you can't trust me, I'll give you the house tomorrow. ”

Zhang Yuanjun doesn't do this kind of thing: "What are you talking about, I'm not a human being anymore when I take your house." ”

"You showed me the script for free, I am very grateful to you, but we have been doing this film for more than a year, and we can't waste it in my hands because of almost money." Wu Jing continued, "It's difficult to make a movie, and many people say that they can't sell it for money after watching this film. If I hadn't been able to, I wouldn't have begged you. ”

"How much are you missing?" Zhang Yuanjun asked.

Wu Jing whispered: "There are still fifteen or six million left." ”

Good guy, the cost of 245 million is still 15 or 6 million, and Wu Jing's team really didn't get any money.

Zhang Yuanjun thought for a while and said, "In this way, if you count sixteen million, I will make it up to you." ”

"Thank you, thank you," Wu Jing was very grateful to Zhang Yuanjun, "Don't worry, the interest will be calculated at 10%, and my brother will never let you suffer." ”

Zhang Yuanjun said: "It's not a loan, it's a vote I cast for "Wolf Warrior". ”

"No, how can I let you take this risk with me." Wu Jing didn't want to live up to Zhang Yuanjun's enthusiasm.

Zhang Yuanjun explained: "I really can't play a soldier like Leng Feng, and this money can be regarded as a dream come true." The 27-year-old Zhang Yuanjun plays some civilian officers, the bigwigs behind the scenes or something, and hard-core soldiers like Leng Feng are indeed not in his play, "If I give you money, you won't push it." ”

Wu Jing was very moved, raised his glass and said, "Don't say anything, I'll do it." "Tilt your head and swallow a glass of white wine.

After drinking, Wu Jing said: "Don't worry, I will bring someone to you tomorrow to make a contract, and I will not let you suffer." ”

Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile: "If you shoot this film well and sell it well, I won't be able to suffer a loss." ”

"I'll shoot it well." Wu Jing patted his chest and assured Zhang Yuanjun.

Xi San, neither of them drank much, while they were happy, Wu Jing invited Zhang Yuanjun to take a big bath, even washed with rubbing and massage cupping, and served Uncle Zhang comfortably, and sent home in the early morning.
