Chapter 73 Are you stupid? Your uncle isn't closer to you than me!
And last year, there was Qi Jian's film, *The Dog*.
Investment cost: approximately 500 million.
And this is still considered a (low-budget) film?
Then there's Zhou Yang's "I'm Waiting for Him/Her at the End of Time".
Special effects are also needed.
In Zeng Jia's calculations, the initial investment would have to be at least 100 million.
Before leaving.
Zeng Jia added:
"Junior, you need to be mentally prepared that even if I try my best, I might not succeed."
"The film's revenue share won't be low either."
Zhou Yang smiled knowingly:
"I understand, thank you for your help, Jiajia."
Jing Tian smiled and said from the side:
"Yangyang, don't worry, my sister Jiajia is very capable, she will definitely succeed."
"Cough cough..."
Zeng Jia coughed a few times.
Jing Tian immediately lowered her head and muttered to herself:
"Is that true?"
"We've gained fame and fortune from music copyrights."
Zeng Jia said helplessly:
"My dear lady, alright, let's go back to the private room, they're all getting impatient."
A short while later.
The three returned to the private room.
The group drank a few more cups before slowly dispersing.
Zhou Yang finally felt relieved.
He knew very well that half of the credit went to Jing Tian.
Otherwise, Zeng Jia wouldn't agree.
Because those three conditions are quite demanding.
Zeng Jia also said that, didn't he?
Unless it's a famous director.
Otherwise.
These three conditions are conditions that no film and television company would agree to.
To know.
There are tens of thousands of extras in Hengdian!
A person lying on the ground all day can barely earn 100 yuan.
It's one thing if Zhou Yang doesn't sell the copyright to his movies.
They even directly asked for investments, millions of dollars!
Millions and 100 yuan.
That's the difference.
That's bigger than the sky falling down!!
"Bye-bye, fellow juniors Zhou Yang, take care on your way back."
A hint of sadness lingered in Jing Tianmei's eyes, and her voice seemed to carry a slight sob as she waved to the crowd.
[Progress bar increased by 1%]
Zhou Yang nodded slightly:
"Don't worry, Senior Zeng Jia, Senior Jing Tian, you two slow down too."
"Okay, get in the car quickly," Zeng Jia replied with a smile.
Chen Yue and the others waved excitedly:
"Goodbye, seniors!!"
"Yes, we'll meet again, hahaha..."
"Of course, we're going to be making a movie too!!"
Zhou Yang cursed:
"Alright, you're drunk. Get in the car."
The van quickly drove off the road and disappeared into the distance.
Zhou Yang and his friends also got into a taxi and headed towards the Beijing Film Academy campus.
……
Beijing Film Academy.
When Zhou Yang and his group returned, they bought several packs of cigarettes for the security guard before he was allowed to enter.
The security guard had seen Zhou Yang and his group several times recently, and couldn't help but sigh:
"You guys are really something. Did the young master come here to gain experience?"
Zhou Yang waved his hand:
"No, no, uncle, please keep it, I'll buy you more tomorrow."
The security guard grinned and said:
"Okay, okay."
...
Bedroom.
It was almost 11 o'clock when they returned.
The dormitory manager had already closed the door.
Chen Yue smiled and said he would bring perfume for the dormitory supervisor another day before letting him in.
"Hey guys, we can't drink anymore." Chen Yue's face was very red.
"Why can't I drink anymore?" Zhao Lu asked, lying on the bed.
"It's simple. We're about to start filming a movie, and we'll be on set from now on. How can we manage if we don't drink?!"
Chen Yue chuckled as he spoke.
"That makes some sense," Yang Shen nodded in agreement.
Han Cheng said to Zhou Yang:
"Brother Yang, you have to let me work with you on your movie."
"You know, between my uncle and you, I chose you!!"
Zhou Yang squinted at Han Cheng and asked:
Why??
"Are you stupid? Your uncle isn't closer to you than me."
Han Cheng shook his head and said:
"no the same.
"Jiang Wen is my maternal uncle, but..."
"It's because he's my maternal uncle, as you know in China."
"In social interactions, the closer the relationship with someone, the more you should avoid suspicion. Even if they could teach me something, they won't teach me."
"Tell me, how old am I? I'm so old, and I've never even gone out with my uncle once."
"I said I wanted to go, but my uncle postponed it, saying I was still young and there was no rush, good food is worth waiting for."
"I'm your uncle, I'll always be your uncle, what's the rush? Don't worry, study hard, and you'll be joining the crew as soon as you graduate."
"Isn't that great? You can just graduate and be done with it?" Zhou Yang looked at him.
"Hey, I'm not stupid," Han Cheng said coldly.
"They don't want to bring me into the crew now, and they keep saying they'll do it in the future."
"How many futures can a person have?"
"They don't take me with them now, and even if they do in the future, I'll still be just a nobody. Sigh..."
"So following me means you'll have a bright future?" Zhou Yang asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Yes," Han Cheng said earnestly, his face flushed.
"I'm not stupid, much less dumb."
"I've already seen it, Yang-ge, the music video you filmed is amazing."
"And also, music, the wind is blowing, it's number one on the new song charts, on Tieba, forums, and Beijing headlines, it's number one!!"
"At Beijing Film Academy, tell me, how many students can write a song that's number one on the new song chart and number two on the China chart?!"
"Even if Yang-ge isn't the first since we started training, you're definitely the best!!"
"What's so great about it?" Zhou Yang asked with a smile, his hands behind his head.
"It's simple, it's because I'm not stupid. Whoever writes a song that reaches number one on the first day is simply insane!!"
"It's Lin Junjie, Zhou Jielun, Xu Song, Zhou Huajian, Liu Dehua..."
"They release a new song, but it's impossible for it to be number one on the new song chart in the middle of the night!!"
"And another thing, even my uncle likes your script and even let me steal it."
"All of this proves one thing!!"
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yang asked.
"Haha... Yes, sir! Brother Yang is a great benefactor. As long as I follow you diligently and loyally, I'm sure I won't go wrong!!"
Zhou Yang asked in disbelief:
"Loyalty, following me is not bad, alright, seeing how sincere you are."
"I'll just say one thing: if I find out even a little bit that you've betrayed me, you're finished."
"I'll make sure you can't even go back to your uncle's place, because I'll tell your uncle everything you said today!!"
"You said your uncle is a bastard, a villain that everyone wants to beat up!!"
"I didn't! I didn't!!" Han Cheng was terrified.
Jiang Wen has a terrible temper.
When it comes to acting in movies, it's all just endless fucking!
Zhou Yang chuckled:
"Alright, don't be afraid. As long as you follow me, you'll definitely get to eat meat."
"Hehe, Yang-ge, don't worry, I'll definitely be loyal to you!!"
Han Cheng's face was all scrunched up, and he was all smiles. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't be able to tell that he was a fleshy man.
It looks like a tomato being squeezed too hard—it's quite an ugly sight!
Zhou Yang spoke with them for a while.
My head feels a bit heavy.
Soon, they all fell asleep.
