Chapter 909 Do you want to become famous?

 After leaving the gate of Shinkansen Film Company, Jerry sighed, "I'm sorry, Teacher An Ran."

An Ran smiled and said: "What?"

"I recommended you, and Mr. Heimers is very optimistic about you, but little Heimers...you know, he is too young! I suggest you take your time. Mr. Heimers can go for a month at most. I will follow you when you come back."

Let’s talk about it!”

"It's okay!" An Ran raised his eyebrows, "I just didn't expect that so many people in Haolaiwu, known as the world's film center, have no vision. Who said half a million can't make a good movie? This has nothing to do with it.

It has nothing to do with you, I just want to prove the ability of Xiazhou people."

"..."

Brother, your head is really strong.

"Don't worry!" An Ran patted him on the shoulder, "Xiazhou movies have surpassed Xizhou in all aspects, starting with me!"

"..."

Ideals are beautiful, but manifestations are cruel.

Jerry now really feels that he was wrong.

"Teacher An Ran, please wait a moment, I suddenly feel sick to my stomach!"

"Go!"

Jerry excused himself to the bathroom, returned to the company, and took out his phone.

He felt it necessary to call Mr. Hymers and tell him what was happening.

Little Hymers is too bullying, while An Ran is too confident.

What the hell.

Jerry sighed and dialed Mr. Hymers' number.

"Hey, Jerry, my friend, what's the matter?" Old Hymers asked in a hoarse voice on the other end of the phone.

"That's it..."

Jerry told Old Hemmers what happened.

Old Hymers was silent for a moment, then chuckled and said: "Fifty thousand yuan to make a movie? And you are so confident. To be honest, I also want to see what kind of movie will be made. Mr. An Ran is a very talented person!"



After pondering for a while, he smiled and said: "I'm really curious. Let's call it a test. If he succeeds, I will let him go."

"Five million yuan? Success?" Jerry almost went crazy, "This is simply impossible."

"You believe Mr. Enron. Since he is sure, I believe he can do it. Have you forgotten "127 Hours" and "172 Hours"? How much did those investments cost? This gentleman's specialty is to be small and broad."

Jerry: "..."

"Okay, what if it fails?"

"Failed? It proves that he is too confident and needs to calm down...it also shows that he is of little value1"

Jerry was speechless. As expected, businessmen are all so realistic. "Okay, but Mr. Hymers' approach, I suggest you still..."

"I will discuss this matter with him personally." Mr. Hymers' tone became colder.

Obviously he does not agree with what his son has done.

"Well, I wish you a happy day!"

After speaking, Jerry hung up the phone. He only hoped that Teacher An Ran could handle this matter well. I hope...

After coming out of the company, An Ran asked: "Where are the actors being recruited?"

"Screen Actors Guild!" Jerry said: "All actors are recruited through the Screen Actors Guild. You can find any actor you want there, except big names."

All extras will be registered with the Screen Actors Guild, and those who are not registered are prohibited from participating in performances.

An Ran followed Jerry to the Actors Guild.

As soon as he saw Jerry coming over, the head of the Screen Actors Guild's eyes lit up.

He came over quickly and said, "Mr. Jerry, why are you here?"

There were many extras around, and when they heard Jerry's name, they immediately gathered around.

They all looked at Jerry expectantly.

A director like Jerry usually recruits actors by his subordinates, so how could he show up in person?

Today is a rare opportunity.

Those men pushed the sleeves of their T-shirts upwards, trying to show off their muscles.

Many actresses pulled their clothes down on their chests to show off their career lines.

Jerry shook hands with the person in charge, "We are here to recruit actors... to star..."

"Main...starring!" The person in charge almost bit his tongue and came here to find the leading actor!

Seeing the suspicious look in his eyes, Jerry nodded solemnly.

"Okay, Mr. Jerry, please come with me!"

Those actors who are slightly famous will not come to such a place in person, but they all have phone calls.

After following the person in charge to the office, Jerry said: "Mr. Stewart, I'm helping Teacher An Ran find an actor."

Stewart didn't care, obviously he didn't know who Enron was.

He took out a roster and said, "Here are some fourth- and fifth-tier actors who have appeared in a few movies, but they are not blockbusters. Some of them often appear in supporting roles in big-budget movies, and their salary is about forty or fifty.

Between ten thousand..."

"..."

One person basically accounts for all the costs.

"Is there anything lower?"

"Lower?" Stewart looked at Jerry in confusion, "Mr. Jerry, how much do you plan to invest in your movie?"

"Half a million!"

"Five...five hundred thousand?"

Stewart was stunned for a long time before saying: "Oh my god, is half a million the total investment?"

Jerry nodded.

Stewart was speechless, "Okay, you guys can try looking for it on this list. I'm not sure it will work."

Basically it doesn’t work.

An Ran had no intention of searching among these people, but now that he was here, there was no harm in calling and trying.

So, I opened the phone book, followed the phone number and dialed it myself.

"Hello, are you Mr. Best? I have a movie here and I wonder if you are interested?"

"It's a low-budget horror film!"

"You will be the protagonist."

"The production cost? It costs 500,000 yuan... But I estimate that the shooting cost is only about 50,000 yuan, so your salary will not be very high, but I guarantee that I can give you a share of the box office after it is released!"

"Ahem, he died..."

Stewart was speechless for a while, can he not be worried?

The production cost is only 50,000 yuan, and the production cost is only 50,000 yuan. You can imagine how much the salary is.

He is a very famous star, so you can ask for 200,000 yuan, no problem.

If you ask for a production fee of 50,000 yuan, who wouldn’t mind it?

Jerry covered his head, "The production cost is fifty thousand? Teacher An Ran, what are you doing with the remaining forty-five?"

"Propaganda!" An Ran said matter-of-factly: "Of course the publicity expenses cannot be reduced."

Speechless.

Both of them had pained expressions on their faces, and publicity expenses actually accounted for most of the expenses.

But for a movie, 450,000 yuan in promotional expenses is nothing.

An Ran ignored the two of them and continued to call.

"What? Can't get away? Mr. Jack, you wasted an opportunity to become famous!"

"Oh? Not interested? With all due respect, you missed the opportunity to become famous..."

"No time? Haha, it's a pity that you will regret not participating in this movie in the future!"

Oh my God!

Both Stuart and Jerry were shocked. What are you doing?

Don’t you have any idea whether this movie will be a hit?

I made more than a dozen calls in a row, but no one agreed.
