After the game against Newcastle, Chen Yingxiong became the focus of everyone's discussion, because he experienced a very tortuous and bizarre journey home, caught up with the game at the last minute, and then scored two goals in the game. This is true. It's too legendary.

The media reported this incident wildly, and soon the whole world knew that Chen Yingxiong had such an experience.

Then Chen Yingxiong received a call.

It was his director friend Karim Medjani.

"Aha, Karim, how is your film preparation going?"

"Hey, don't mention it, hero, I have not been able to find investors. Many people think that the box office performance will not be good when they read the script and the story, and they are unwilling to invest... Now I have to invest in investors, too eager for quick success!"

Chen Yingxiong laughed on the other end of the phone: "You can't complain about people's eagerness for quick success and quick profit. Investors, investors, they all hope that he can cast a dollar and get back a hundred dollars. If you don't make money, you will lose money. Several people are willing to do it."

Medjani sighed: "I also know... Forget it, let's not talk about it. Actually, hero, I am calling you this time because I am interested in your story."

"Ok?"

"It's your experience on the way from Frankfurt to Liverpool. Don't you think this is an excellent story that can be adapted into a movie?"

Chen Yingxiong was stunned for a moment. In the past two days, as long as he said about it, the most feedback he heard was the sigh of "really like a movie plot."

Although he is indeed proud of his experience, he is not yet at the stage of a movie, right?

Medjani was very excited: "I chatted with Jones about your experience, and then I thought it was particularly suitable to be adapted into a movie script-a player landed thousands of miles away from the destination due to an accident. , And there is a very important game two days later, he cannot be absent..."

"Hey, the match against Newcastle is not that important..."

"That's reality. I'm talking about movie scripts. Fictitious and artistic processing must be allowed! Airplanes cannot fly, and train tickets cannot be purchased. The protagonist has to rent a car by himself and plan to drive to the destination. But in this case, There are many people traveling by car. The business of the car rental agency is very hot. I have found many car rental agencies and there are no cars. I finally found a car that has a car, but the car is not in good condition. Even worse, this car is already It was booked by a girl in advance..."

"Huh?" Chen Yingxiong feels that this story is completely different from his own experience, but he has to admit that this story is much more interesting than the love story that Medjani will tell him before, at least there is suspense. He wanted to know what happened next. Has the protagonist successfully rented the car? "And then?" he asked.

"Hehe." Medjani laughed, a little proud, it seemed that Chen Yingxiong had been attracted, which showed that the script they discussed was interesting!

"Don't laugh, what's next?"

"Next? The protagonist is a football star, and he intends to use his fame to suppress the opponent, but the car rental company insists that the car is booked by the girl first. They cannot give the protagonist. If the protagonist must use the car, he can go with the girl. Negotiate to resolve it. When the girl comes to pick up the car, the protagonist repeats the same trick again. Unfortunately, the girl doesn't know him because she doesn't watch football at all, and even has a sense of disgust for football..."

"Hey, I'm not that kind of person, Karim!" Chen Yingxiong was unhappy-aren't you discrediting me?

"Hey, I didn't say it must be you again, can't I make up a star?"

"Well, you go on to say..."

"Then, the protagonist is like using money to suppress the girl, and proposes to buy the right to rent a car from the girl at a high price. But the girl is determined not to let it... Anyway, two people have gotten it. The protagonist must rent this car. The car rushed back to take part in an important game, and the girl resolutely refused to rent out of disgust for the stars and dislike of the rich and bullying."

"Then isn't this impossible?"

"Don't worry... Later, the car rental company came forward. At this time, the protagonist realized that the girl's destination was the same as himself... So he had to beg for everything and begged to go with the girl in a low voice... Maybe it was because the protagonist suddenly softened his attitude. Let the girl feel better about him... In short, the two of them set off together... On the way, many stories happened. They encountered various difficulties. The girl felt defensive against the protagonist’s initial reaction. , And then slowly attracted by the cheerful and lively protagonist. Together they overcame a lot of difficulties and even encountered some dangers, but they all passed through with the concerted efforts of the two. Just when the victory is about to come. , Their car broke down when its condition was not so good!"

"Wow, do you know all of this?" Chen Yingxiong was surprised, he didn't tell the outside world in such detail.

"We guessed, it seems we guessed right?"

"Well, our car really broke down after passing through London, and then we stopped the car on the side of the road... It was still raining in the sky. You don't know how miserable it was, Karim!"

Medjani laughed, "Isn't this more dramatic? Heroes, the audience just like to watch stories like this. When you thought you were desperate, the dawn suddenly came... How did you get there later?"

"We waited for a long time, and finally we waited until three Liverpool fans drove the car. They recognized me and drove us to Liverpool... But when we were only a few kilometers away from Anfield, we ran into a **** traffic jam again. …It’s really bad luck! In the end, I had to run to the court with Cabrera. I just rushed into the locker room without even warming up. I changed into my clothes and went straight to the court. Then I scored. Two goals! How about it? Great, right?" At the end, it became Chen Yingxiong's boast.

Medjani was very happy: "This story is awesome! But I need to adapt it... Well, after the car broke down, the protagonist and the girl could only stop the car on the side of the road. They stopped a large truck, enthusiastically The truck driver invited them to get in the car, but they were not going to a place. The truck could only take them one way, and they would part ways at the next intersection. So just like that, they kept blocking the car, just like a relay. They went forward one stop after another... Then they met three enthusiastic fans, who happened to be fans of the team the protagonist played for. They recognized the protagonist and sent them to their destination... No, it was the distance to the destination. A few kilometers away, they encountered a big traffic jam! This time was ten minutes away from the start of the game! The anxious protagonist rushed out of the car, and after hurriedly thanking the three enthusiastic fans, they rushed to the sound of their cheering. To the far field!"

"What about the girl?"

"Don't worry... the protagonist caught up with the game at the last minute, and then scored the winning goal in the game, making everyone who questioned him shut up, even the commentator who was still ridiculing him before did it for him Cheering, a reporter who always couldn't understand him had to express his conviction...Then the day after the game ended, the protagonist received a call from the girl:'You have something forgotten.' Two people After an appointment, the girl brought the luggage that the protagonist had forgotten with her. After the breakup, the protagonist called the girl and told him that he had forgotten something..."

"What is it?" Chen Yingxiong asked curiously.

Medjani imitated the protagonist's tone and said: "Hi, Jessica. I found that I forgot one more thing, in your place... it's my heart."

Chen Yingxiong blew his whistle, which reminded him of the situation when he was chasing Cabrera.

"Not bad!"

"In the end, the protagonist and the girl ended the film in a kiss, what do you think?"

"well!"

"I'm so happy that you said that! So, I want to discuss with you whether you are willing to sell the prototype of this story to us, and then we will make it into a movie. We will definitely belong to your name... such as In the beginning of the movie, write "This is adapted from the hero's real experience"..."

Chen Yingxiong shook his head and said, "No, I won't sell, Karim."

Medjani was surprised. He was stunned for a long time, without knowing what to say-he originally thought he had a good personal relationship with Chen Yingxiong, and it shouldn't be difficult to get the right to adapt this story. I didn't think of Chen Yingxiong but rejected him.

Seeing that he was frightened by Medjani, Chen Yingxiong explained with a smile: "I will not sell it to you, I will give you the right to adapt this story, Karim."

Medjani's mood at this moment is like doing a roller coaster, falling from the peak to the bottom of the valley, and then quickly climbing from the bottom of the valley to the peak. "Ah... this... this... haha, thank you so much, hero!"

He said that he wanted to buy it. In fact, he didn't have much money. His savings were just a little bit, and a part of it was allocated to the preparation of the romance film. As a result, the preparation was unsuccessful and the money was in vain. The remaining money is really not much. If he wants to buy it, he may not be able to pay too high a price. What he was most worried about before was not that Chen Yingxiong would not sell it, but that Chen Yingxiong's asking price was too high and he could not afford it.

How did you think that Chen Yingxiong didn't want the money and gave it away for nothing!

"But I have the conditions, Karim."

"It's okay, you say!" I gave myself the right to adapt for nothing. Are there any conditions that are too outrageous?

"I'm going to be the leading male actor in this movie!"

"Huh?" Although he was fully prepared to wait for Chen Yingxiong to make a price, Karim Medjani was still stunned when he heard Chen Yingxiong's terms.

"Don't worry, Karim, I promise you won't play it!" Acting is something Chen Yingxiong likes. He plans to try it. Now that he has such a good opportunity, how could he let it go?

"Uh..." Karim has twice worked with Chen Yingxiong to shoot commercials. From these two cooperation experiences, he can see that Chen Yingxiong does have a talent for acting. Some things as a director just need to say something roughly. Chen Yingxiong can comprehend it. However, making commercials and making movies are two different things. At least the commercials can't be shot for several months... Over time, many problems may be exposed. If Chen Yingxiong couldn't meet his requirements at the time, he would have to change actors temporarily. If you...wouldn’t it be troublesome?

Chen Yingxiong's protagonist was decided this time, because he found this story very suitable for him to play. After all, it was adapted according to his own real experience. He has personal experience, and the acting is more handy.

So in order for Karim to agree to play the leading role, he still has a back hand. "Hey, I won't ask you to pay a penny, Karim, will this save you money? In addition, I personally invested 5 million euros as an investor."

Five million euros to invest in a movie is obviously not enough, but it is better for someone to invest money than no one to invest money. The most important thing is that after someone has invested money, Karim can go to other investors and tell them-you see, someone has already invested, which shows that my book is promising and is promising, so you What are you still hesitating?

For Chen Yingxiong, he earns more than 30 million euros a year, and 5 million euros is really nothing. And if Dracula manages his finances, his money can also make money. He is not like other stars who squandered after he became famous. In terms of material consumption, Chen Yingxiong is definitely not "extremely extravagant". For example, there are many stars who like high-end sports cars, so they just buy one at home. Seven and eight cars are standard equipment for stars. However, Chen Yingxiong has only one Land Rover given to him by Zenit St. Petersburg so far.

So if Chen Yingxiong wants to take the five million euros, he can take it out now, just call Dracula's.

Everyone said that this is the case, can Medjani still refuse? What's more, it is the uncle who is rich now. Chen Yingxiong paid the money. As the biggest investor of the current crew, he is a well-deserved uncle.

Karim Medjani is a very ideal director, and he has principles, but he is not unaware of flexibility. He knows that under the background of commercialization, it is very common to succumb to the will of investors. As long as he is not too outrageous Can agree. Compromise, anyway, as long as he can finally make the movie out.

He is now a newcomer and lacks his own work, so it is better to have a work than no work. Regardless of the quality of the work, anyway, even if he enters this line, he is no longer just an advertising director. Is a glorious film director! The door to the world he dreams of will open to him, and behind that door is a feasting Vanity Fair, the place he yearns for...

Using this film as a springboard, I climbed up step by step, constantly filming, accumulating experience, and striving to make a blockbuster that is popular all over the world as soon as possible.

When he gets into the position of James Cameron, he can also slap the table against investors and threaten them to leave by themselves if they don’t increase the investment bid according to their own will, then he can say no to the hero. . Now, it's still early.
