Chapter 274 272. Do you have any misunderstanding about my financial strength?
In the quiet cafe, Chen Li'an stared blankly at the business card in his hand. This was the first time he gave out his business card and was sent back.

However, looking at the string of numbers on the business card, Chen Li'an still put the business card away, watched Xu Qing and Huo Jian nodded, and then left the cafe.

Looking at the back of Chen Li'an leaving, Xu Qing couldn't help but cast her eyes on his slender legs, then turned to look at Huo Jianqi and asked: "Director Huo, is he really in good shape? "

Huo Jianqi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xu Qing to ask this question, but he nodded and said: "That's right, it's no different from professional sports."

"Athletes don't have such a good-looking face." Xu Qing muttered, then looked at Huo Jianqi and said, "Then I'll wait for the machine to start. It's the first time I'm working with Director Huo. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

Huo Jianqi showed a smiling face and said, "Happy cooperation!"

The matter of spending more than 100 million yuan to meet with friends did not make Chen Lian feel anything, but he was a little annoyed that such things might continue to happen in the future.

Chen Li'an thought that Zhang Guoli was also looking for him, so he probably wanted to invest, but Kangxi's drama hadn't been sold yet, so he was a little anxious.

After thinking about it, Chen Li'an still didn't go to meet Zhang Guoli. He still remembered the corruption incident last time.

But apart from Zhang Guoli, there are many people who want to find Chen Li'an, not to mention those sisters, many directors in the circle also want to find Chen Li'an.

There is such a big funder in the circle, who doesn't want to try their luck, it would be great if they get investment.

It’s not easy to make movies these days, too many movies don’t get official support, the studio’s logo can’t afford it, and the review can’t pass, so we can only find private capital to invest, but the movies that can’t be released want to find someone to invest It's just too difficult.

What businessmen pay attention to in investment is return. No one will waste their own money. Except for those who love the film industry, who would be willing to spend their own money to make a movie without return.

Even if everyone is willing, there is still a very real problem, that is, the numbers on the passbook are not willing, and it is useless if you are happy without money.

There are people who can pool their own money to make a movie. Jia Zhangke is one of them. He will graduate next year and is now raising money to make a movie.

But raising money is not that simple. Jia Zhangke is worrying about whether he should go home and ask for some money, but there is a high probability that he will not get it. His father originally wanted him to go home and open a butcher shop.

Jia Zhangke sat in the dormitory and discussed with his classmates where to get some more money. Wang Hongwei frowned and said, "Why don't you ask Yu Liwei?"

"He can't help it either." Jia Zhangke shook his head, thought for a while and said, "I'll think about who else I can find."

Gu Lin leaned on the bed and looked at the ceiling and said: "I heard that the graduation works of the directing department next door have been finalized, and the filming is about to start. The directing department is the privileged class."

"Our literature department is destined to watch movies. It's so difficult to pay for movies by ourselves." Gu Lin's words resonated with Wang Hongwei, and he couldn't help but sigh along with him.

Jia Zhangke smoked a cigarette and didn't speak. The small dormitory was full of smoke. After pressing out the cigarette butt a little annoyed, Jia Zhangke's eyes fell on a newspaper brought by someone who didn't know who was on the table.

Looking at the half-exposed face above, Jia Zhangke suddenly remembered something, ran to his desk and flipped over.

"What are you looking for? I can't find the manuscript again?" Wang Hongwei looked at Jia Zhangke and asked curiously.

Jia Zhangke didn't answer, just turned his head down and rummaged on the table, finally found a business card in the corner of the drawer, turned around excitedly and asked them, "I found it!"

Wang Hongwei looked over curiously and asked, "What? A business card? Whose?"

"His!" Jia Zhangke pointed, and Wang Hongwei and Gu Lin's eyes fell on the newspaper on the table.

The photo in the newspaper failed to attract the attention of Wang Hongwei and Gu Lin, but the headline caught the attention of these two poor men who wanted to rob.

The bid king of 8000 million!

Wang Hongwei and Gu Lin looked at each other at the same time, then sat up quickly, turned to look at Jia Zhangke and said, "Chen Li'an! Is this his business card?"

At this time, Wang Hongwei suddenly remembered something, looked at Jia Zhangke and said, "I remember when Red River Valley came to the school to promote, he chatted with you for a long time."

"Yes, at that time he also said that if he wants to make a movie in the future, he can find him." Jia Zhangke pinched his business card with excitement, not because Chen Li'an, a junior, gave up and became a rich man, but because he saw the hope that the movie can go on smoothly!

Wang Hongwei couldn't help but scratched his hair and said, "I wondered why he talked with you for so long, but now it seems that there is hope, Lao Jia, give him a call and talk."

Jia Zhangke hummed, but looked at them again and said, "How much money do you think I want?"

"16 to [-]?" Wang Hongwei said with some uncertainty: "Now there are [-], another [-] to [-] will be enough."

Gu Lin said anxiously at this time: "Stupid! Ask more! Ask for 20!"

"Will it be too much?" Jia Zhangke asked with some uncertainty.

A few people may have been careful and careful for a long time, and they didn’t even dare to make big money for investment. 20 yuan is only about 200% of the production cost of a standard movie made by a film studio. If the scene is bigger and the actors are bigger, [-] million yuan Can't even turn a splash.

Gu Lin said helplessly: "He took advantage of hundreds of millions, more than 20?"

"That's right, but I don't know if he will be willing." Jia Zhangke pinched his business card and said with some embarrassment: "I haven't even written the script yet."

"Try it, just in case it works."

The winter in Beijing is really hard to like, the wind is too strong and the air is too dry. As soon as Chen Li'an came out of the cafe, he couldn't help but wrap up his clothes tightly, finish the work at hand early, and then go to Japan to soak spa!
After Chen Li'an stopped a taxi and told him the address, he felt that it was too troublesome for him to take a taxi. Why Li Dabai hadn't found a new assistant for him, it was too slow!
With so much money, I don't even have a driver, so I have to take a taxi when I go out!No one will believe you when you say it!

Chen Li'an was about to call Li Dabai to remind him about his assistant, when the phone rang.

Looking at this strange number, Chen Li'an hung up without even thinking about it. It must be some reporter who got his number from somewhere.

After Chen Li'an hung up the phone, he muttered, "This number has to be changed, and I still have to hide for the next two days."

Jia Zhangke from Nortel listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, and his expression froze for a moment. Wang Hongwei and Gu Lin next to him looked at his expression and immediately asked: "What's the situation, what is your expression?"

"He hung up on me, but he didn't answer." Jia Zhangke said helplessly after hanging up the phone.

"."

Gu Lin was the first to react and said: "Try again later! Maybe it will be inconvenient for others!"

Jia Zhangke nodded, then sighed and said, "It's really difficult."

"Who made us a literature department, and we are all ordinary people." Gu Lin was a little cynical, probably because he had seen too many students in the director department who could easily make movies, and there were so many second and third generations.

This world has always been faulted. Small people are mostly marginalized in society, and they are also marginalized in this film academy.

In the evening, Jia Zhangke called Chen Li'an again.

On the other side, Chen Li'an, who was drawing in the study, heard the phone ringing, and shouted to the outside: "Help me get the phone here."

"coming."

Mr. Zhou came out of the bathroom brushing his hair, picked up the phone on the coffee table in the living room, glanced at it, then walked into the study and handed it to Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an took the phone and looked at the unfamiliar number on it, hesitating for a while, and connected it, when he heard a slightly cramped voice with an accent.

"Hello, junior, I'm Jia Zhangke."

Chen Li'an hadn't heard the name "Student Brother" a few times, but he also realized that the person on the other side was really his senior, so he was a little curious why he called him.

"So it's the senior, what do you want from me?" Chen Li'an didn't mention the phone call that was hung up in the afternoon, so as not to have to explain why he didn't answer it.

Jia Zhangke coughed lightly and said, "Do you have time tonight? I would like to treat you to dinner, and I need your help with something."

Chen Li'an glanced at Mr. Zhou who was wiping his hair, and didn't agree immediately, but asked, "Why did the senior ask me?"

Jia Zhangke on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment, feeling that it would be better to talk about this kind of thing in person, but Chen Li'an asked, and he still said directly: "I want to make a movie, and I want to ask you for help?"

Chen Li'an probably understood why Jia Zhangke was looking for him. He was definitely not looking for acting, but most likely looking for investment.

So he asked directly: "The senior is short of money?"

"Yes!" Jia Zhangke breathed a sigh of relief after saying this. It was his first time asking for money, and he couldn't let it go.

"How much do you need?"

"Two" Jia Zhangke just wanted to say the 20 yuan that was discussed in the afternoon, but he felt that he hadn't met and chatted. He was afraid that Chen Li'an would refuse, so he changed his words: "10 yuan is enough!"

Chen Li'an froze for a moment, and asked curiously, "Is 10 yuan enough? How much money do you have now?"

"15" Jia Zhangke said a little embarrassedly, this number sounds unreliable, how can a movie be made with 15.

Seemingly worried that Chen Li'an would find it unreliable, Jia Zhangke immediately added: "I don't plan to hire professional actors, and the crew is all our own, more than 20 is enough!"

Chen Li'an didn't think it was unreliable. Wang Xiaoshuai didn't have so much money when he was filming the extreme cold. The sixth generation of directors was never rich at this time.

Without hearing Chen Li'an's answer, Jia Zhangke's hope sank a bit. It's unreliable. A group of people from the literature department are going to make a movie, and they only have 10,000+ yuan. Anyone would think it's unreliable.

Jia Zhangke thought that before Chen Li'an said that he could find him if he had no money to make a movie, but now that he thinks about it, it is probably a polite remark.

But soon Chen Li'an's voice came from the other end of the phone, dispelling Jia Zhangke's doubts.

"No problem, but isn't 10 yuan too little?" Chen Li'an asked while holding the phone.

Jia Zhangke didn't expect that Chen Li'an was willing to invest and even more, so he immediately became happy, hesitated for a while and said embarrassedly: "Actually, I wanted to say 20, but I don't worry too much."

Chen Li'an: "."Old Jia, do you have any misunderstanding about my financial strength!
"Then 20. I'll find someone to send it to you tomorrow. Are you still in school?"

"Yes, don't you ask about the specific situation of the movie? This movie may not be released."

Jia Zhangke was a little surprised by Chen Li'an's boldness, and felt a little embarrassed to accept Chen Li'an's investment just like that. He felt that he only invested for the sake of his alumni. There is a high probability that this movie will not make money. He wanted to make it clear to Chen Li'an, so as not to end up will make him regret it.

"No, I believe senior, the short film you made before was very good." Chen Li'an smiled and said: "And I have made so many films that only two were released in China."

Jia Zhangke was aware of these situations, and felt that Chen Li'an should be the same kind of person as himself, who both like movies, so he said: "I can't guarantee whether movies can make money, but I can guarantee that this is a sincere attempt by a group of people who love movies! "

"Haha, I trust the seniors. If it weren't for being away from school often, I would have joined your film group."

The two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Chen Li'an couldn't help shaking his head. Jia Zhangke misunderstood his financial strength and his own talent. How could Xiao Wu lose money?

Your Lao Jia took off because of the money he made from this movie.

Chen Li'an wasn't doing it for making money, but mainly to give Lao Jia a face. I still like his movies very much. Although he shoots some underground movies and the subject matter is too sensitive, he can't deny that he is a good director.

"What kind of movie only needs 20 yuan?" Mr. Zhou put down the towel in his hand and asked curiously.

"An independent movie." After Chen Li'an finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, looked at Mr. Zhou and said, "Are you interested in trying it? This is a good movie."

Mr. Zhou took a step forward and hugged Chen Li'an, his eyes were full of spring, he wrinkled his delicate nose and said, "I just came back from filming, and you want me to go out to film, so you don't want to disturb you and other women?"

Chen Li'an: "."

How dare you slander yourself like this, you must be punished tonight!hang up!
Chen Li'an picked up Young Master Zhou and walked to the bedroom, allowing Young Master Zhou to kiss his face.

Mr. Zhou's slender calf was dangling in the air, but he couldn't do it after entering the bedroom.

The red ropes were wrapped around the slender ankles, and wrapped around the body several times to form a beautiful knot.

Mr. Zhou looked at Chen Li'an with a blushing face, not because he was shy, but because he hadn't been like this for a long time. This familiar feeling of tightness made her very excited!
Chen Li'an looked at his workmanship and nodded in satisfaction. The combination of foot binding and hanging binding is really good!
