I'm not a big star

Chapter 481 I Invest 1000 Two Million!

(The [-]-character chapter has been delivered! Huh!)
Hollywood is a place where every inch of gold is precious, full of psychedelic colors and hope, but it is also a world of despair.

Every year, countless young people who think they are very talented come here to pursue their dreams, and every year, an unknown number of young people rush to the street and quit the Hollywood stage sadly.

"I'm sorry, Pete, if you can't get any more investment, then I will quit the movie "Night Descent", and I will also quit your Roman company. You haven't paid me for three months!"

"Ewen, didn't you say that even if you don't make money, you will make this movie? Besides, this is a critical period for our company, you can't leave!"

"Not making money? Hehe, Pete, if it wasn't because I was a classmate in our university and your script had some potential, I really wouldn't agree to act in your movie. I regret it now. Let me ask you, your "Dark Night" How much investment has "Bloodline" attracted now?"

"I……"

"It's only more than [-] yuan? And more than [-] yuan is the money you collected from others for starting a company, right? You still want to make a movie with more than [-] yuan? What international joke are you making?" Ai Wen glanced at Pete, deeply He took a deep breath, "Peter, forget it, isn't it good for you to go to work in other film and television companies now? You must start a company and become a director, but the key is, who buys you? Who do you think you are? ? Are you God?"

"I... Ivan, I hope you can hold on a little longer, can you hold on a little longer?"

"Peter, tomorrow, tomorrow morning at the latest, if I can't get another 300 million dollars in investment, I will quit your company immediately... And, I hope you can settle my salary before I leave, otherwise, I will sue You owe your employees wages!"

"..."

Pete watched Ivan leave the remote hut with a hint of gray in his eyes.

Before graduation, he had great ambitions to make a career in Hollywood. After graduation, he really planned a lot of things. For example, he perfected the script of "Night Descent" which he had written for nearly three years, opened Roman Films, recruited A group of media company employees who can barely be regarded as professional...

However, five years after graduation, the expected outbreak has not ushered in. On the contrary, there are fewer and fewer employees every day, and the company is getting more and more difficult every day.

Except for some advertising planning business, there is no other business in the company, let alone filming.

Hollywood is indeed a crazy place, it can make you famous overnight, or it can make you bankrupt overnight.

Pete knew he was going broke.

Pete's total wealth is about half a million yuan, which is a sky-high price for a college student who has just left the society, but it is not enough to use the original capital to make a name for himself in Hollywood.

50, what can you do?
Especially in a so-called film and television company that can't even make a movie, what can he do?
Make a movie?
What a joke.

As night fell slowly, Pete locked the door, glanced at the dimly lit bar in the distance, and shouted excitedly from time to time, this is indeed a world full of hope.

But Pete felt hopeless!
"Go out again to attract investment, I must shoot "Darksiders", definitely, yes!" Pete gritted his teeth.

In fact, Pete also thought about handing over the script to some big companies and selling the script. In this way, his Rohman company could not go bankrupt for a few days, but the reality was quite cruel, and he was slapped hard.

"Night Descent" is very good in Pete's opinion. As long as it is shot, it will definitely have the potential to become a big hit, but it is worthless to others.

How many submitted scripts do these big film companies receive in a year?

People will care about you, a little-known Pete?People will care if you are "Nightblood" or "Night Player"?
this is the truth!
Yes, the bare reality.

Coming to the bustling streets of Hollywood, Pete took the script and continued to look for those well-known and famous stars, or those who seemed to be rich and taken advantage of, but unfortunately, Pete was finally disappointed after wandering around .

There may be bullies in Hollywood, but like Pete, there is such a dick-like existence at first glance. No bully will listen to what Pete talks about about investment and movies.

At this moment, he felt that his Roman film company was a tasteless one.

Filing for company closure?

After all, the company has put in countless painstaking efforts to buy countless shooting equipment, and these shooting equipment are brand new. If it files for bankruptcy, it will basically lose everything, which is a pity.

However, if he does not apply for bankruptcy, how long can he last?At most three or four days, when the landlord came to ask the rent again...

Well, shutting down is shutting down.

It would be great if someone took advantage of my script and bought my company by the way.

At this moment, he is like the little match girl in a fairy tale, extremely sad.

But where?

Just when 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!
The Chinese, who is about 25 or [-] years old, wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a hat, and looks like a nerd.

Of course, Pete would not care about this nerd at ordinary times, but at this moment Pete can tell at a glance that this nerd is very rich, or rich too much.

Nonsense, the clothes worn by this nerd are the latest styles that are popular in Baleno this year!

Pete checked the price of this dress on the Internet by chance, and the coat alone cost over three hundred thousand dollars...

Three hundred thousand yuan is not important, what is important is that this dress is a limited edition, only [-] pieces in the world!

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.

Ordinary people may have never heard of the name KH, but Peter accidentally heard it from a high-class party.

Every watch of KH company is a limited edition, and every watch is worth a small building in Los Angeles...

After five years of tragedy in Hollywood, Pitt really didn't learn it, but he learned how to read people...

Local tyrants, taken advantage of, so foolish!

Pete had the idea in an instant.

Pete's heart twitched, trembled, and there was even a trace of pressure!

Pete let out a long breath!

He is very fortunate that he learned Huaxia language when he was in college, and he learned it well. His tutors all praised him for his talent in languages.

He intends to use the knowledge he has learned in the past five years to fool the Huaxia people once. Even if he fails in the end and the Huaxia people call the police and go to jail, it doesn't matter.

He is really dead end!

He can only fight, 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 to learn.

Not being able to speak English is really a fucking thing in Hollywood, it looks helpless like being dumb.

Feel free, Chu Qing has learned from the painful experience, and must learn English.

"Hello..." At this moment, Chu Qing heard a very crappy Huaxia voice next to him.

Chu Qing looked up and saw a tall American youth.

"Hello." Chu Qing was a little surprised, he didn't know this young American.

Did you come here to ask for directions?

I don't even know the way.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm the boss of Roman Films, Pete, and here's my business card..." Pete tried his best to speak Chinese that he thought was very professional and smooth, and handed his business card to Chu Qing respectfully. , Of course, this looks very much like an insurance salesman, although Pete himself doesn't think so.

"Oh..." Chu Qing put down the book and took the business card with both hands, and looked at it seriously.

Business cards are beautiful.

It looks quite tall.

Well, to be honest, he could only understand a few words on the business card. Apart from a few words, Chu Qing had no idea what the sentence on the business card meant.

"Hi, is there anything I can do for you?"

However, even though she didn't know what the business card meant, Chu Qing still showed an expression and a smile that I could understand.

There is a play!

After Peter saw Chu Qing's expression, he was suddenly excited!
"It's like this. I'm preparing a movie right now. The name of this movie is "Night Descent". Well, this is my script..." Pete compiled a copy of the "Night Descent" script and handed it to Chu Qing .

"..." Chu Qing looked at the densely packed English letters on the script, and was stunned.

What is it written here?
You know that I am not very good at English now, but you still show me this, what do you mean?
"Oh, sorry, I took the wrong one, it's this script."

After seeing Chu Qing's bewildered expression, Pete suddenly remembered that this local tyrant was not proficient in English, and he quickly took out another script that was already almost yellowed from his pocket.

Thank goodness I was prepared...

In fact, not only the Huaxia script, but also scripts in at least three languages ​​in his bag.

Well, the preparation is quite sufficient.

After Chu Qing took over the script, he glanced at it hastily and found that the script was really well written, at least to Chu Qing's liking.

This script tells the story of vampires and werewolves. The plot is a bit similar to the "Underworld" in Chu Qing's original world, but some dialogues are more detailed than "Underworld"...

The shooting cost of this movie is not cheap, but if it can be made and special effects are brought, then this movie will definitely not hit the street, and it will even become a small hit.

This was Chu Qing's first thought after reading the script.

Of course, Chu Qing looked up at Pete with a naive smile despite her first impression.

What is he doing reading this script for himself?
"Sir, what do you think of this script?" Pete looked at Chu Qing with hope.

"This script is not bad, what's the matter?" Chu Qing handed the script to Pete and asked strangely, "Is there any problem?"

"That's right, sir, do you believe in such things as fate?"

"Fate?" Chu Qing was even more surprised. We are talking about the script here, why are you talking about fate again?

Do you read fortune tellers?

"Actually, when I saw you for the first time, I thought you had the potential to become a Hollywood superstar, so I want you to participate in this movie, oh, yes, the script of "Nightsiders" has been filmed As for the movie, I can guarantee that it will definitely be a big hit, after all, in this show..." Pete began to spit and fool around.

In short, from all angles and aspects, the script of "Night Descent" has been fooled into the sky, as if this movie is definitely the number one movie in Hollywood.

Chu Qing was able to listen at first, but when Pete began to blow English, Chu Qing fell into a state of bewilderment again.

What are you talking about?
"What do you think of this movie? Have you considered investing in it?" Seeing Chu Qing's bewildered look, Pete finally let out a long breath and looked at Chu Qing.

"Um...not bad." Chu Qing scratched her head and pushed her black-rimmed glasses.

How the hell have you been bragging for so long just to let me invest in your movie?

"I saw that you have a good eye, and I saw that you have potential, so I came here today to find you. I think this is a fate..." Pete even used his skills in picking up girls in college. It was used on Chu Qing.

He continued to talk about fate.

And the performance of the whole person is very exaggerated, quite like seeing a fellow countryman...

"..." Chu Qing was speechless when he saw Pete's performance. He really couldn't understand what Pete said when he got excited. Your Chinese language is too bad, but even though he couldn't understand, he was still very polite. He looked at Pete seriously: "If you are sure that this script was written by you, and you have your own film company's license and identity certificate, then I can consider investing." Chu Qing nodded.

He is still a little interested in "Nightblood".

After all, although he is not too rich now, at least he is not short of money.

"Wow! Yes, yes, I will take you there right away? I have relevant copyright certificates here, and I definitely did not lie to you."

"Well, good." Chu Qing looked at the time, and it was still early, so she put down her English book and followed Peter to Peter's Rohman company.

Pete, who was walking ahead, was very nervous.

Yes, very nervous.

This is the first investment in life!
Pete was very excited.

Although Luomen is a little out of the way, when renting the storefront, Pete deliberately found a relatively large storefront, and at the same time, the decoration also cost a lot of money!
..............................

After half an hour.

"How much investment do you need?"

"That... I... 200 million, I..." Pete looked at Chu Qing anxiously, 200 million is an astronomical figure for Pete.

"200 million?" Chu Qing shook her head.

"That... 100 million is also possible..." Seeing Chu Qing shaking his head, Pete felt his heart go cold.

"100 million..." Chu Qing glanced at Pete with complicated eyes.

"Then... 50, 50 is alright?" Pete was on the verge of crying, he had finally found someone who took advantage of him, so he couldn't throw it away.

"..." Chu Qing continued to shake her head.

"I... 50, my company will be sold to you. Although my company looks a bit poor, I promise, I promise it has great potential..." Pete finally cried, and even if Chu Qing nodded, he would You can kneel in front of Chu Qing.

dignity?

What dignity do you want!

Not at all!
Just at this time……

"I'll invest 1000 and [-] million to acquire your company and your movie script."

"What? 1000 and [-] million?" Pete's eyes widened.

"RMB?"

"U.S. dollars..." Chu Qing looked at Pete.

"..." Pete opened his mouth.

He suddenly felt like he was about to have a heart attack...

Fuck, Fuck, Fuck...
