What should I do if my girlfriend is famous and doesn't dump me?

Chapter 410
An investment of no less than [-] million US dollars?

This is definitely considered a blockbuster in Hollywood, and it's the kind that happens every year.

"Director Zhang, with such a large investment, is it really just a romance movie?" A reporter asked, "Or, you just incorporated love elements into the movie."

"The title of the movie "Titanic", should it be about the story of the sinking of the Titanic?" The reporter continued, "This movie should be a disaster movie, right?"

"Any love story must be in a specific environment." Zhang Yu said, "The disaster is just the background of this love story."

"The love that can stand the test in the face of disasters is the real love." Zhang Yu said, "Love should be able to share joys and sorrows."

"Does the director have any expectations for the box office of this film? Do you think it can surpass your last film and set a new box office record?"

The reporter asked and answered.

As for the type of film, there is no need to be too entangled.

A lot of films today don't have a clear genre at all.

Just like Zhang Shisan's "Inception", there is nothing wrong with saying it is a science fiction film.

But in the eyes of many people, it should be classified as drama and action movies.

A single type is obviously not advisable.

What's more, is there no love element in "Inception"?
Not only that, but also the element of family affection.

"How can it be so easy to break the record?" Zhang Yu said with a smile, "Besides, whether the record can be broken depends on whether the fans support it."

Ok?
What does Zhang Shisan mean by this?
Does he really want to use this romance film to break the record set by "Avatar"?

He seemed to really have this idea, but he just didn't have the confidence.

Who can have confidence in this matter?

After all, the record created by "Avatar" is really not so easy to break, and it is also a record created by himself.

"Director Zhang means that your "Titanic" may break the box office record of "Avatar"?"

A reporter couldn't help asking.

The media like to watch public figures like Zhang Shisan say some bold words.

This is more gimmicky.

Realized, compliments, they also have the content of the report.

If it didn't happen, it would be a slap in the face, and they can naturally ridicule it. Isn't this something to report again?
News needs gimmicks.

Zhang Yu is young, but has a lot of dealings with the media.

How could Zhang Yu not understand what they were thinking.

"Any film that has not been released has a chance to break the box office record of "Avatar." Zhang Yu said with a smile, ""Titanic" naturally has hope, is it just hope?"

Is there hope?

Really!
The box office of the original "Titanic" is amazing, and it has dominated the global box office list for many years.

The original version of "Avatar" surpassed its box office, largely due to the 3D technology that set off a movie-watching frenzy around the world.

If the original "Avatar" was just a 2D movie, I'm afraid it might not have worked.

Among other things, the box office is different.

Even if the market potential at that time far exceeded when "Titanic" was released.

If inflation and other factors are included, the box office of "Titanic" will definitely exceed that of "Avatar".

Of course, the box office cannot be counted in this way.

When "Titanic" was released, its scenes and special effects were absolutely top in the world at that time.

That boost to the box office is absolutely inestimable.

If it were released in "Avatar", the special effects and scenes would probably not be too shocking.

This will obviously affect the film's box office as well.

How exactly, who can figure it out?

So Zhang Yu felt that he had a chance, but he didn't have much confidence.

Naturally, the media didn't care whether Zhang Yu had confidence or not.

In their view, it is enough for Zhang Shisan to set a new box office record with his new film.

After the press conference, the media naturally had some misinterpretations.

Then it became "Zhang Shisan threatened that the box office of the new film is expected to surpass "Avatar" and create a new box office record".

This is obviously more gimmick and more eye-catching.

After Zhang Yude heard the news, he curled his lips in disdain and didn't bother to pay attention.

This doesn't seem to be surprising either.

He didn't have time to think about it either.

The filming started, he is very busy now, and he is also a little bit burnt out.

The crew is not all Hollywood teams, there are also domestic teams.

Zhang Yu intends to let people from domestic companies come here to gain experience.

After all, Hollywood has a lot to offer.

Learning from each other's strengths can make people progress.

This also leads to the need for the team to run in, and there are inevitably some contradictions.

However, with Zhang Yu's pressure, it's not too much.

It's just that some people still look down on Hua people in their bones.

"I really admire those of you who came to Hollywood back then." Zhang Yu looked at Li Jie who came to visit the set and said, "This is still the case now, and I, a native of China, am still a director and investor."

Zhang Yu couldn't help shaking his head as he spoke.

Zhang Yu couldn't tell what other people's attitudes were towards him.

He just doesn't care about it.

"It is indeed much better now than before." Li Jie said, "This is not only due to the fact that Huaguo has become the second largest film market in the world, but also because"

"Hua's national power is getting stronger and stronger, and its international status is constantly improving." Zhang Yu continued, "Unfortunately, some people have something carved into their bones."

"There is no way around it." Li Hua said, "There is indeed a big gap between Chinese-language movies and Hollywood."

Just because of that?

Obviously not!

However, this is obviously also a reason.

Just like in the film crew, the people from the Hollywood team look down on the people from China, isn't it largely because of this?

"Ok?"

Zhang Yu still wanted to say something, but he didn't think there was a commotion not far away, and he frowned suddenly.

There seemed to be an argument.

"what happened?"

Zhang Yu asked about Lu Xian.

Lu Xian shook his head, then walked to the noisy place.

Zhang Yu seemed to have heard something, and his face turned gloomy. Then he greeted Li Hua and walked over.

Someone had a conflict on the set.

This is not the first time, but it is the most powerful one.

One is a crew member from China, and the other is the actor Richard Stone.

This is also the first conflict between the crew and actors.

It used to be staff.

Why the conflict?
Zhang Yu didn't know.

I'm afraid it doesn't matter anymore.

However, he heard Li Cha's aggressive words, and the words were extremely humiliating.

And some discriminatory language.

"Director Zhang, you came at the right time. The person you brought from Huaguo is too unreliable, isn't it?"

As soon as Zhang Yu arrived, Li Cha immediately pointed to the person opposite and said.

"Director Zhang."

Zhang Yu nodded, but signaled the man not to say anything.

"Then what do you think is reliable?" Zhang Yu looked at Li Cha and asked lightly.

Li Cha was asked this time.

"A man like him, I can't stay in the same crew as him." Li Cha continued.

How reliable?

How the hell do I know how to be reliable.

Complaining, expressing dissatisfaction with him.

I just don't think he's reliable.

No reason, no reason needed.

"You mean in this crew, with you or without him?" Zhang Yu continued to ask.

"Correct!"

Richard nodded.

He didn't seem to realize anything, he nodded simply, and looked at the person who was in conflict with him, but he looked embarrassed.

But that person looked at Zhang Yu in astonishment.

He has been with Zhang Yu for many years, so he can't see what Zhang Yu wants to do?
This is what shocked him.

The other party is the hero!

This scene has been filmed for half a month.

One of his crew members left, and it didn't affect him.

But if the male lead is driven away, it will not only have a big impact, but also a big loss!
"Director Zhang."

The man seemed to want to persuade, but was interrupted by Li Cha.

"People must be self-aware and have a clear understanding of themselves. It's too late to plead now! This crew has you and me! In a crew, some people can be obtained, but others cannot!"

The man looked at Li Cha with a confused face.

idiot!
I'm fucking pleading for you.

He glanced at Li Cha in a daze, and the man looked at Zhang Yu again.

He didn't know what to say right now.

"Then you go!" Zhang Yu said lightly.

"Don't get out? Go back to your hometown, people like you can't stay here."

"I let you go!"

Zhang Yu didn't wait for Li Cha to finish speaking, and immediately interrupted him.

The tone is still very light, but with a bit of coldness.

When Zhang Yu said this, Li Cha was stunned, and most of the crew were stunned.

What a surprise!
Zhang Shisan actually gave up the male number one?
How can this be?

The only person who was not surprised was the person who knew Zhang Yu well.

Li Hua also looked at Zhang Yu in surprise.

He didn't expect Zhang Shisan to stand on the side of the crew and tell the leading actor to leave.

Not to mention in Hollywood, I'm afraid it's rare in China!
What's more, it was still halfway through filming.

The male lead is gone, which means that the previous filming may be invalidated.

In addition, it is extremely troublesome to find another actor to replace it temporarily.

Familiarity with the script, running-in between actors, etc., all of these take time.

What's more, if you shoot a film for an extra day, you will burn an extra day's money.

Correct!
Once the film starts shooting, the money seems to be burning.

This loss is not generally large.

It is estimated that no investor will agree.

With the exception of Zhang Shisan, few directors would dare to do this.

Not many directors can do it.

Even a big Hollywood director.

The reason why Zhang Shisan dared to do this and was able to do it was not because of his status as a director, but because he was the biggest investor in this film.

And he is not afraid of other investors withdrawing their capital.

This is Zhang Shisan's confidence.

It's just that Li Hua doesn't understand?

Why?
Is this overkill?
Just to maintain a man brought from here?

Can this matter be resolved?

Big things become small, small things become small, and everything will be discussed after the end of the film.

"Director Zhang, what are you talking about? Let me go? You let me go because of him? I am the leading actor, and other investors will never allow you to make such a stupid decision." Richard Stone heard, Immediately said in disbelief.

This was clearly beyond his expectations.

"I am the biggest investor in this film." Zhang Yu said flatly, "If other investors want to withdraw their funds for this, so what? Besides, they will not withdraw their funds because of this matter."

He is not afraid of other investors withdrawing their capital.

You withdraw, that is your loss.

After the withdrawal, I, Zhang Shisan, made up for it myself.

Earn a little more, isn't he good?

And the loss caused by this will not fall on him personally.

So what if it fell on him?

Does he, Zhang Shisan, seem to be short of that little money?
"Why?" Richard Stone said puzzledly, "I am the male lead, if I leave, wouldn't it be the filming before?"

"I don't need to bother you!" Zhang Yu said lightly, "My branch. That yellow-skinned pig's performance is not small, you are a great god!"

Zhang Yu's words were still very light, but the coldness became stronger.

Li Cha stayed there.

Like Li Hua, the rest of the crew suddenly realized.

This is why Zhang Shisan let Li Cha, the leading actor, go!
Li Hua looked at Zhang Yu with an inexplicable emotion gushing out.

He came to Hollywood, and he had heard such extremely insulting words.

And what can he do?

Swallow your breath, hold your breath, and try to climb up and prove yourself.

As long as you are popular and have a certain status in Hollywood, you can win their respect.

Besides, what else can you do?
Nothing can be done.

And what about Zhang Shisan?
Although he has just come to Hollywood, he can directly sweep the other party out.

Domineering.

This made Li Hua feel elated.

"You are breaking the contract!" Li Cha said, "I'm going to sue you, I'm going to sue you."

Li Cha panicked!

He was really panicked.

He knew very well what he would get from starring in Zhang Shisan's movie.

He has long dreamed of becoming famous with this movie.

But all of that will be a thing of the past.

How dare Zhang Shisan?
How dare you change the male lead halfway through?

And because of such a "little thing".

"I'll wait!" Zhang Yu said lightly.

From the beginning to the end, his tone was very calm.

However, anyone who knew him knew that he was really angry this time.

Then again, if he wasn't angry, he wouldn't have driven the leading man away.

"You will regret this!"

Seeing this, Li Cha left in embarrassment without saying a word.

Zhang Yu smiled disdainfully.

Regret?

Who regrets not necessarily?

"Director Zhang!"

The conflict with Li Cha naturally yelled, but he didn't know what to say.

"Don't think too much, this matter has nothing to do with you." Zhang Yu said.

Is it irrelevant?
Obviously impossible.

However, the main reason for Li Cha to leave had nothing to do with him.

If it weren't for Li Cha's words, Zhang Yu might not let him go, but he wouldn't drive Li Cha away either.

Just mediate, it won't be so "extreme".

In the eyes of many people, Zhang Yu is undoubtedly making a fuss out of a molehill.

Among them is Kevin Marshall, head coach of Lion King Films.

Kevin came in a hurry when he learned of this.

"Boss, what are you doing?" Kevin asked very puzzled.

He didn't think that his boss didn't know how much impact the change of roles would have at this time.

"Do you want me to promote a disgraceful big star?" Zhang Yu said lightly, "Richard Stone is not unacceptable, let someone contact Orlando Smith!"
