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

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

Then Yingxiong Chen received a call.

It was his director friend Karim Medjani.

"Aha, Kareem, how is your movie going?"

"Hey, don't mention it, hero, I haven't been able to find an investor. Many people read this script and story, and feel that the box office performance will not be good, and they are unwilling to invest... Now they need an investor. They are 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. Investors, investors, hope that he can get back 100 yuan after investing one dollar. Individuals want to do it.”

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

"Ok?"

"It's your journey from Frankfurt to Liverpool that is of particular interest. Don't you yourself think this is an excellent story that could be adapted into a movie?"

Chen Yingxiong froze for a moment.In the past two days, as long as he talked about this matter, the most feedback he heard was the exclamation of "it really looks like the plot of a movie".

Although he is indeed very proud of his experience, but he hasn't reached the point of a movie yet, right?
Medjani was very excited: "I talked with Jones about your experience, and then I felt that it was especially suitable for adaptation into a movie script-a player forced to land thousands of miles away from his destination because of an accident. , and there is a very important game two days later, he cannot be absent..."

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

"That's reality. What I'm talking about is a movie script. Fictional and artistic processing is allowed! Airplanes can't fly, train tickets can't be bought, the protagonist has to rent a car and plan to drive to the destination. But in this case, There are a lot of people traveling by car, and the business of the car rental companies is very hot. I looked for many car rental companies but they didn’t have any cars. Finally, I found one with a car, but the condition of the car was not very good. What’s worse, the car was already dead. It was booked in advance by a girl..."

"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 wondered what happened next.Has the protagonist successfully rented a car? "And then?" he asked.

"Hey." Medjani laughed, a little smug, it seems that Chen Yingxiong has been attracted, which shows that the script they discussed is interesting!
"Stop laughing, what's next?"

"Then? The protagonist is a football star, so he intends to use his fame to overwhelm him, but the car rental company insists that the girls book the car first, and they can't give it to the protagonist. If the protagonist must use the car, he can go with the girl. It was settled through negotiation. When the girl came to pick up the car, the protagonist repeated his tricks again, but unfortunately the girl didn't know him because she didn't watch football at all, and even had a dislike for football..."

"Hey, I'm not that kind of person, Karim!" Chen Yingxiong was not happy - aren't you slandering me?
"Hey, I didn't say it must be you again, can't I make up a celebrity?"

"Okay, you go on..."

"Then, the protagonist is like using money to pressure 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, the two of them got married, and the protagonist must rent this car The car was rushed back to participate in an important game, but the girl resolutely refused to rent it out of disgust for the stars and the aversion to the rich bullying others.”

"Then it can't be done?"

"Don't worry... Later, the car rental company came forward. At this time, the protagonist also found out that the girl's destination was the same as his own... So he had to beg for mercy, humbly begging to go with the girl... Maybe it was because the protagonist's attitude softened suddenly. Let the girl feel better about him... In short, the two set off together... Along the way, many stories happened, and they encountered various difficulties. The girl's initial disgust with the protagonist turned into defensiveness , and then gradually attracted by the cheerful and lively protagonist. They overcame many difficulties together, and even encountered some dangers, but they all got through with the concerted efforts of the two of them. Just when the victory is coming , their car, which was not in very good condition, broke down!"

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

"We guessed, it looks like we guessed right?"

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

But Medjani laughed: "Isn't this more dramatic? Heroes, audiences just like to watch stories like this. When you thought you were going to despair, the dawn suddenly came... How did you get there?"

"We waited a long time and ended up with a car driven by three Liverpool fans who recognized me and drove us to Liverpool...but then we got stuck in fucking traffic just a few kilometers from Anfield. …It was just unlucky! In the end I had to run to the stadium with Cabrera, I just rushed all the way to the locker room, I didn’t even warm up, changed my clothes, went straight to the court, and scored Hit two balls! How's it going? Isn't it great?" In the end, it turned into Chen Yingxiong's boasting.

Medjani was very happy: "This story is great! But I need to adapt it... Well, after the car broke down, the protagonist and the girl had to stop the car on the side of the road. They stopped a big truck, enthusiastically The truck driver invited them to get on the car, but they were not going to the same place. The truck could only take them one way, and they would part ways at the next intersection. So, they kept stopping the car, like a relay, will They sent them off one by one... 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 from the destination A few kilometers away, they encountered a big traffic jam! At this time, it was 10 minutes before the start of the game! The anxious protagonist rushed out of the car, thanked the three enthusiastic fans in a hurry, and rushed to To the distant court!"

"What about the girl?"

"Don't worry... the protagonist caught up with the game at the last moment, and then scored the winning goal in the game, making everyone who doubted him shut up, even the commentator who was still laughing at him before. Cheered, and a reporter who always disliked him also had to express his heartfelt convincing...Then the day after the game, the protagonist received a call from a girl: "You forgot something." The two of them It was agreed to meet, the girl brought the luggage that the protagonist had left behind with her, and after the breakup, the protagonist called the girl and told him that he still forgot one thing..."

"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... is my heart."

Chen Yingxiong whistled, which reminded him of the situation when he went to chase Cabrera back then.

"Not bad!"

"At the end, the main character and the girl ended the film with a kiss, what do you think?"

"very good!"

"I'm so happy for you to say that! So, I just want to discuss with you, whether you are willing to sell us the prototype of this story, and then we will make it into a movie. We will definitely belong to your name... For example Write on the opening title 'This is adapted from the real experience of the hero'..."

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

Medjani was surprised. He was stunned for a long time, not knowing what to say—he originally thought that he had a good personal relationship with Chen Yingxiong, and it shouldn't be difficult to get the right to adapt this story.Unexpectedly, Chen Yingxiong rejected him.

Seeing that he frightened Medjani, Chen Yingxiong explained with a smile: "I'm not selling it to you, I'm giving you the right to adapt this story, Karim."

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

He said he wanted to buy it, but in fact he didn't have much money, his savings were only so small, and he even allocated part of it to the preparation work of the romance film, but the preparation failed, and all the money was wasted.There was really not much money left, and if he wanted to buy it, he might not be able to afford a high price. What he was most worried about before was not that Chen Yingxiong would not sell it, but that Chen Yingxiong asked for a price that was too high for him to afford.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yingxiong didn't want money, so he just gave it away for free!
"But I have conditions, Karim."

"It's okay, tell me!" I gave myself the right to adapt for nothing, so what conditions can be too outrageous?
"I want to be the leading actor in this movie!"

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

"Don't worry, Karim, I promise I won't blow it up!" Acting is something Chen Yingxiong likes, and he plans to try it out. Now that he has such a good opportunity, how could he let it go?
"Uh..." Kareem has collaborated with Chen Yingxiong twice to shoot commercials. From these two cooperation experiences, he can see that Chen Yingxiong does have a talent for acting. As a director, he just needs to briefly explain some things. Chen Yingxiong can understand it.However, shooting a commercial and making a movie are two different things. At the very least, commercials can’t be filmed for several months... Over time, many problems may be exposed. If Chen Yingxiong can’t meet his requirements at that time, then he has to temporarily change actors. If so...wouldn't it be troublesome?

Chen Yingxiong has decided to play the leading role this time, because he found that this story is very suitable for him to play. After all, it is adapted from his own real experience. He has personal experience, so he can act more easily.

So in order for Karim to agree to play the leading role, he still has backhands. "Ann, I won't ask for a penny of your salary, Karim, will this save you money? In addition, I personally contributed 500 million euros as an investor."

500 million euros is obviously not enough to invest in a film, but it is better if someone invests money than no one invests money.The most important thing is that after someone invests money, Karim can go to other investors and tell them-you see, someone has already invested, which shows that my book has a future and is optimistic, so you guys What are you still hesitating about?
For Chen Yingxiong, he earns more than 3000 million euros a year, and 500 million euros is really nothing.And with Dracula helping him with his financial management, his money can still generate money. He is not like other stars who spend a lot of money after becoming famous.In terms of material consumption, Chen Yingxiong is definitely not "extravagant".For example, many football stars like high-end sports cars. If they have nothing to do, they buy one for their homes. Seven or eight cars are standard equipment for the stars.But Chen Yingxiong only has one Land Rover given to him by Zenit St. Petersburg so far.

So if Chen Yingxiong wants to take the 500 million euros, he can take it out now, all he needs to do is make a phone call to Dracula.

Everyone has talked about this, can Medjani still refuse?What's more, it's the uncle who has the money now, and Chen Yingxiong contributed the money. As the largest investor in the crew, he is a well-deserved uncle.

Karim Medjani is a director with great ideals and principles, but he is not ignorant of flexibility. He knows that under the background of commercialization, it is very common to succumb to the will of investors. As long as the requirements are not too outrageous, he will can agree.Compromise, anyway, as long as he can make the movie in the end.

He is a newcomer now and lacks his own works, so it is better to have works than to have no works. Regardless of the quality of the works, anyway, if he has works, he will enter this industry. He is no longer just an advertising director. Be a glorious film director!The door of the world he dreamed 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, continued to shoot films, accumulated experience, and strived to shoot blockbusters that became popular all over the world as soon as possible.

When he gets to the position of James Cameron, he can also slap the tables on investors and threaten them to leave if they don’t increase investment according to his own wishes, then he can say no to the hero .Well, it's still early.
