Xie Chengze has directed many films over the years, many of which have an investment of over 100 million. The investment in this film he made is even higher. More than a dozen investors, large and small, have invested 300 million in total, and now someone has added 50 million. Adding it all up, it is 350 million.
However, Xie Chengze is a director, not an investor, so his own assets are not much.
His parents were both very famous stars back then, but they didnât make much money from filming back then, so his parents didnât earn much either. Later, they quit the entertainment industry and went to the Film and Television Academy to become teachersâ¦Their life is still very good now but they donât have much money.
As for him, he didnât get much money from making movies in the beginning, and later he started to earn a lot of money from the box office, but after buying a house, he only had 10 million funds at hand.
To take out 50 million casuallyâ¦This is a bit difficult for him.
Xie Chengze was counting his assets when Producer Wei said: âThe director of Xingyu didnât show up but asked a special company to invest in us. I still donât know who is behind Lu Yanzhouâ¦but they especially told us to take good care of Lu Yanzhou. It seems that they really cares about Lu Yanzhou.â
âEn.â Xie Chengze responded.
âOld Xie, I know you donât like these things very much, but for the sake of 50 million yuan, you must not make it hard for Lu Yanzhou.â Said Producer Wei.
Xie Chengze was speechless: âWhen did I make it hard for Lu Yanzhou?â
Producer Wei didnât hesitate: âYou donât look good right now!â
While the two were still talking, Lu Yanzhouâs assistant came in: âDirector Xie, my family Yanzhou invited you to the car for a meal.â
âI see.â Xie Chengze responded and followed the assistant.
Producer Wei: ââ¦â He couldnât figure it out. He had always been very warm to Lu Yanzhou and Xie Chengze was quite indifferent to Lu Yanzhou, the two were together whenever Lu Yanzhou was looking for something to talk aboutâ¦Why did Lu Yanzhou only invite Xie Chengze to dinner?
Because he canât add scenes to Lu Yanzhou?
Producer Wei was a little aggrieved and went to screenwriter Zhang.
As a producer, he has a lot to worry about. He has to take care of all aspects, and he also needs to communicate with those sent by investors.
He has no hair at a young age because he is exhuasted!
In the end, after talking with screenwriter Zhang for a while, producer Wei was stunned: âYou said, Xie Chengze planned to add scenes to Lu Yanzhou?â
âDirector Xie has this idea. After changing according to his thought, the role played by Lu Yanzhou will be very brilliant.â Screenwriter Zhang said.
This sci-fi movie is set in an alternate future.
At that time, because of the war and the powerful radiation brought by the indiscriminate use of weapons, the planet where the protagonist lived was devastated, and human beings also fell ill and died one after another.
In order to survive, human beings built one radiation-proof city underground to live in.
Decades later, the surface of the earth is still scorched black. The animals and plants that survive on it are all mutated. Some underground cities inhabited by humans are difficult to operate due to lack of energy. The protagonist takes a group of people out of the underground city in order to find energy for the underground city he lives in.
While searching for energy, he encountered many dangers and also met people sent by other underground cities. They went through untold hardships to seek information from decades ago and used the things that destroyed the world back then to create energy to save the underground cities.
Some things can destroy the world, but also can save the world.
The story is considered a great success, but overall it is a bit dark and not so relaxed. If Lu Yanzhouâs role is handled well, he can adjust the atmosphere and make people cry, it will be very brilliant.
In the original script, Lu Yanzhou played a person who was born after the disaster.
At that time, among human beings, many newborns were born with defects, but he wasnât. His parents were also very rich, which made him feel superior to others and always looked down on others.
The underground city where he lives has taken in the injured protagonist and the others. This young master dislikes the protagonist and the others for being dirty, and wants to drive the protagonist out, which causes some ludicrous things to happen. But soon, the underground city where the young master lives is destroyed by mutated beasts, and this young master died in the radiation like many people in the underground city.
This is the original setting, now Xie Chengze plans to change the young master to be more cute.
For example, because the young master is a rare person who was born with no defects, he is loved by everyone in the underground city where he is, and is held in everyoneâs palm. He also loves his city deeply.
When the protagonist and the others came to his city, the young master was also much friendlier. Xie Chengze planned to add some comedy plots.
Later, the young masterâs city was still destroyed.
The young master has no abilities, but he was protected and survived, and then he joined the protagonistâs team with a few survivors from his cityâ¦in the end, he died on the road in order to protect the protagonist.
The young master role was not that important originally, it was used to provoke the protagonist groupâ emotions, but now it has been changed like thisâ¦he has become a very brilliant supporting role.
He still doesnât have many scenes, but heâs definitely impressive.
Producer Wei was stunned after hearing this, so he said, âXie Chengze finally succumbed to capital?â
âCapital?â Screenwriter Zhang was puzzled.
Producer Wei said: â50 million, itâs almost the same!â
The previous 300 million yuan was not invested by one person. Xingyu Entertainment, which invested the most, only invested 60 million yuan.
Now Lu Yanzhouâs gold master is already the second largest investor in their crew!
Producer Wei is actually very grateful to Lu Yanzhou. After all, the original money used to make this movie is not enough, so the extra 50 million is quite generous!
While Producer Wei was chatting with Screenwriter Zhang, Lu Yanzhou had just finished the meal.
After talking with his parents in the morning, he came to Xie Chengzeâs side.
He cooked the meal himself at noon and ate it with Xie Chengze, then it was the same at night.
He divided the prepared dinner into two portions, one of which was packed by the assistant and sent back to father Lu and mother Luâ¦Lu Yanzhou sat opposite Xie Chengze, ready to eat.
Seeing that Xie Chengze was very concerned about the assistant carrying away the food, Lu Yanzhou said: âMy parents arranged them. My parents found out that I cooked for you yesterday, so they are not very happy. Today I made them a portion too, coaxing them.â
âMm.â Xie Chengze smiled, but didnât believe it.
If Lu Yanzhou was really a rich second generation, he wouldnât be so proficient in cooking, and his parents would not make such a request to their son.
Which big boss would miss the food cooked by their son and would be unhappy if they couldnât eat it?
He felt that it was more likely that Lu Yanzhou needed to please his gold master.
Lu Yanzhou didnât know that Xie Chengze was thinking too much, after all, in the original ownerâs memory, everyone knew that he was a rich second generation.
By the way, according to the original historical trajectory, the original ownerâs parents should give the original owner Xingyu shares at this pointâ¦But now his parents probably wonât give him.
âCome on, try my cooking.â Lu Yanzhou picked up food for Xie Chengze.
âItâs delicious.â Xie Chengze began to eat slowly.
The atmosphere between the two was very good. After eating, Lu Yanzhou kept looking for topics to talk about, then asked Xie Chengze a lot about acting.
However, at eight oâclock in the evening, Lu Yanzhou had to go back â his parents asked him to go home before ten oâclock to go to bed early and get up early.
Xie Chengze was a little depressed.
Lu Yanzhou said that his parents asked him to go home before ten oâclock, but Lu Yanzhou is an adult, he is also in the entertainment industry, how could his parents be so strict?
Time flew by, it was the day before filming started.
In the past few days, Lu Yanzhou came to report early in the morning every day and left on time at 8 oâclock in the evening. He also cooked two meals for Xie Chengze every day and urged Xie Chengze to go back to rest when he left.
After following him for a few days, Xie Chengze felt that his life was much healthier.
He also had to sigh. Lu Yanzhou is really too caring, too good at taking care of others!
In his life, he has never met someone who is more caring than Lu Yanzhou!
That night, Lu Yanzhou still cooked as usual and invited Xie Chengze to eat.
When Xie Chengze came, he was holding the script.
Changing the script canât be done in a short while. After Xie Chengze had the idea, it took several days to successfully change the script.
Thenâ¦he couldnât wait to show it to Lu Yanzhou.
Lu Yanzhou has been very concerned about him recently, so he always wants to reciprocate.
Therefore, as soon as Lu Yanzhou put the food on the table, closed the car door and prepared to eat with Xie Chengze, Xie Chengze said, âI changed the script these few days and added some scenes for you.â
Xie Chengze looked at Lu Yanzhou with some expectation.
He didnât have much money, so he could only do this. He hoped that Lu Yanzhou would like it.
Lu Yanzhou didnât care about adding scenes or not, but seeing Xie Chengzeâs gazeâ¦
The starry sky roof installed in the RV gave people a romantic sense, Lu Yanzhou smile: âWhy did you think of adding scenes to me?â
âWhen I see you, I have countless inspirations in my heart.â Xie Chengze said. He couldnât say that Lu Yanzhou had flattered him for so long, so he wanted to pay back.
Of course, he also said this sincerely. As long as he saw Lu Yanzhou, he would feel joy in his heart, so he also really loved the role Lu Yanzhou was going to play.
Xie Chengzeâs eyes were shining, full of him.
Lu Yanzhou has been by Xie Chengzeâs side for the past few days, and he has already confirmed that Xie Chengze likes him very much. Now that the atmosphere is so goodâ¦He lowered his head and kissed Xie Chengzeâs lips.
Xie Chengze was taken aback. He didnât expect that after he added scenes to Lu Yanzhou, Lu Yanzhou would kiss him without hesitation!
He doesnât look good and he doesnât have much to offer Lu Yanzhou, so Lu Yanzhou may not get close to him muchâ¦
Xie Chengze decided to seize the opportunity and responded without hesitation.
The person he likes responds to himâ¦Lu Yanzhou kisses him more happily.
The two kissed for a long time before Lu Yanzhou decided to stop: âEat firstâ¦If you donât eat, the food will be cold.â
Xie Chengze still wanted to continue, ahâ¦They kissed for twenty minutes.
He doesnât mind kissing longer, but heâs hungry!
Xie Chengze was a little disappointed, but he didnât show it. He looked at Lu Yanzhou seriously.
He was very afraid of seeing Lu Yanzhou showing a displeased expression, so he couldnât help but observe Lu Yanzhou.
However, Lu Yanzhou didnât show any strangeness at all, instead he gave him food. Thatâs alright, but Lu Yanzhou then said: âXie Chengze, I actually liked you very early, thatâs why I came to audition for this drama and come to see you every dayâ¦How is my behavior during this period of time? Would you like to be my boyfriend?â
They have been together for several days and they even kissed todayâ¦Lu Yanzhou thinks itâs time to confess his love and confirm his relationship with Xie Chengze!
Xie Chengze was a little stunned when he heard this confession â what does Lu Yanzhou mean by this?
Doesnât matter what Lu Yanzhou plansâ¦Xie Chengze didnât hesitate at all: âI am willing.â
