Chapter 155

Zhang Dongcheng's words undoubtedly completely dispelled Yuan Heping's last worries. Now the reason why he plans to take his subordinate Yuan Jiaban to shoot TV dramas is because of economic reasons. The downturn in Hong Kong movies has made their group of martial arts instructors almost unable to eat.

   When Yuan Heping heard this, his eyes widened!

  500,000 dollars!

  500,000 US dollars, at this stage, that is equivalent to more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars! Don't say that you can't earn this kind of money from filming TV series, even if you are filming a movie in Hong Kong, this kind of money is not something that martial arts instructors can get. The real big paychecks belong to those big-name stars.

  Jackie Chan filmed this year, and the Lunar New Year movie released in 1998, "Who Am I" has a total investment of only 70 million Hong Kong dollars.

  Yuan Heping raised his head, and the expression on his face finally became much more relaxed. He showed a grateful smile to Zhang Dongcheng, and then said to the man surnamed Fan with a cold face: "Mr. Fan, I have decided! I won't be filming any TV dramas anymore. I want to go to Hollywood with Director Zhang Dongcheng!"

"Director? That's him!" The man surnamed Fan said disdainfully: "Big Eye, are you okay? You are not happy to let you film a TV series, and you are following this you and the boy to make some movies! You are not afraid of being caught Did he cheat? This guy with no hair is going to Hollywood? I think he's from Wanchai Wharf, right?"

   "Mr. Fan. I don't think you heard what I called him clearly just now!" For Yuan Heping, who has already agreed to Zhang Dongcheng's invitation, Zhang Dongcheng has undoubtedly become his boss now, and he is also a type of parent.

After hearing the man surnamed Fan's crazy talk to Zhang Dongcheng, Yuan Heping said with a cold face: "This is the famous and world-renowned director Smith Zhang. The two smoking guns he filmed were once screened in Hong Kong. I think you should have seen the movie "The Mummy" that swept the entire United States last year, and also won the third place in the annual box office in Hong Kong, with a global box office of nearly 500 million US dollars, and he also filmed it!"

  This Mr. Fan is just a Hong Kong producer of a TV drama crew. Although he has watched movies, he doesn't have much contact with the film industry, let alone European and American filmmakers.

  After hearing Yuan Heping's explanation, his eyes widened and he looked at Zhang Dongcheng in shock. After looking at it for a while, he asked uncertainly, "Are you really that Zhang Zhang Dongcheng?"

  Zhang Dongcheng was neither humble nor overbearing, and said with a touch of pride in his tone: "It's a fake!"

  Although they don't know what Zhang Dongcheng looks like, the media in the Chinese world are still very proud of him, and there are always some reports, so they know who it is when they hear the name, but they don't know who it is when they see the person.

"this…"

  Hollywood director with 500 million dollars, this name should not be too big!

  The man surnamed Fan suddenly showed embarrassment. Rubbing his palms together, turning his eyes, he laughed and said to Yuan Heping: "Ba Ye, you are really too. A great director like Zhang Dongcheng came to invite you, why didn't you say it earlier? I want to know that you were invited by Zhang Dongcheng. Director Dongcheng's invitation, can I say that about you? We have been in such a relationship for so many years, I am also afraid that you will be deceived! It's all right now, since you have found a better way out, I will not worry about your affairs anymore! You are busy, so I will leave first. We will cooperate again when we have a chance!"

  Yuan Heping said with a fake smile: "I hope there will be opportunities in the future." After finishing speaking, he just watched him leave his house with cold eyes.

  After this incident, Yuan Heping completely looked away. This Fan surnamed was a wolf in the mountain, with a wild personality when he was successful! Not worth deep friendship.

   After this guy closed the door, Yuan Heping let out a sigh of relief, and said gratefully to Zhang Dongcheng: "Mr. Zhang, thank you so much this time!"

   Zhang Dongcheng came and directly offered a high price of 500,000 US dollars, so that he could regain his face in front of that complacent guy whose jaw was almost lifted to the sky, which was enough for Yuan Heping to be grateful.

Although he is now in the low ebb of his career, Zhang Dongcheng's arrival has made him extremely excited. The half a million dollars has stimulated his nerves and made his old man go crazy when he talked about it, showing a different spirit God!

Seeing his eagerness to try, wishing to fly to Hollywood in the next moment, Zhang Dongcheng couldn't help but sigh a little, he is really relying on his own strength to fight and fight, even at the age of knowing his destiny, he still wants to make a living for himself. The dream is to judge the person who struggles again.

  If he didn't have that strength, he wouldn't be honored by countless people as the best martial arts finger in the world!

  However, what Zhang Dongcheng said just now was not just for the sake of Yuan Heping's siege. Once The Matrix is ​​released, it will set off a wave of Chinese kung fu in Europe and America. Yuan Heping, a top-notch martial arts instructor, immediately became worth a lot.

   If Yuan Heping is gathered under his own banner now, it will be beneficial to him but not harmful! Why not do it? If you don't take advantage of the present to win over, is it possible to wait until later?

"Mr. Yuan, you are wrong. I was not trying to rescue you just now, but I really thought so!" Zhang Dongcheng paused, and said with an extremely sincere attitude: "The salary for this movie is 500,000 yuan. U.S. dollars! And I sincerely invite you to join my Dongcheng Films!"

   There is a saying that a man should die for his confidant, and a woman should be the face of a man who pleases him!

  Now Yuan Heping is at the lowest point in his life, and Zhang Dongcheng's appearance is like a guiding angel descending from the sky, rescuing him from the darkness.

  People who practice martial arts have always had clear grievances and grievances. Yuan Heping's brain became hot, and he said without even thinking: "Yes! But I will bring my brothers to join Dongcheng Films!"

   "Of course it's no problem!" Zhang Dongcheng originally thought about how to take away the entire Yuan family class, but Yuan Heping proposed it himself. This is a complete surprise!

  Because the preparations for The Matrix were imminent, Zhang Dongcheng had no choice but to make Yuan Heping and the entire Yuan family give up the idea of ​​celebrating the New Year in Hong Kong.

  On the fourth day after he came to Hong Kong, Zhang Dongcheng and Adaman took the entire Yuan family members on the journey back to Hollywood.

  Back to Los Angeles, the first thing Zhang Dongcheng did was to arrange for the members of the Yuan family class to join. At the same time, a small-scale meeting was held within the company to welcome Yuan Heping and others to join.

   After all the members of Yuan's class were settled, Zhang Dongcheng began to recruit actors non-stop. Of course, the starring role of Keanu Reeves is even more important! I was deliberately told by Zhang Dongcheng that I must find him!

   At the same time, Zhang Dongcheng's long-planned short-term film investment fund plan was officially released under East West Bank!

  Peter Zhou is a young man of Chinese descent. In his early thirties, he is a middle-level executive in the Internet industry in the ever-changing Silicon Valley.

  He is only 30 years old, with a salary of 300,000 US dollars a year. He only knows how to play computers. He has a car and a house, a beautiful daughter and a gentle wife. This kind of life can be regarded as a winner.

However, Peter Zhou, who has earned more money and maintained a hard life, does not have any particularly large expenses. The increasing amount of money in his pocket makes him a little upset, because it is only a little bit of money in the bank. No interest, no meaning at all.

  Recently, various emerging wealth management products have made him very excited. Taking advantage of the weekend, he came to East West Bank, wanting to know what kind of wealth management products are available recently that can further increase his wealth.

  A beautiful and pleasant girl working in a bank greeted her. After some understanding, this girl named Yang Xiu, who is also Chinese, pointed to an item in the product list and introduced it.

"Mr. Zhou, this is the latest short-term wealth management product exclusively launched by our bank, the Dongcheng Film Fund Project. I think this is very suitable for you." Both of them are Chinese, so they get along very well, and they both changed back to Chinese. , This way the intimacy is stronger.

   "Oh? Film Fund? This is a new thing." Peter Zhou glanced at it, only to feel that his interest increased greatly.

"This is the pride of our Chinese. The first product launched by Dongcheng Pictures, founded by the great director Mr. Zhang Dongcheng, is also to raise filming and publicity funds for his fourth film "The Matrix". The minimum purchase amount is one Thousands of dollars, no upper limit. After one year of purchase, the full amount will be returned, with a minimum annual interest rate of 10% and a maximum of 50%!" Yang Xiu introduced in detail.

"Oh? Zhang Dongcheng's film fund?" Peter Zhou also became interested. Like many Chinese in the United States, he saw the birth of Zhang Dongcheng's miracle in the United States, and he also witnessed the popularity of his "The Mummy" It's a mess.

"Yes, Mr. Smith Zhang's movie, it has repeatedly created miracles. I believe his new movie will also have huge profits, so this fund has a guarantee and short-term results. If it really reaches a 50% rate of return, it will be It should far exceed any wealth management products!" Yang Xiu seized the opportunity and tried her best to sell it.

   "It must be able to maintain capital, right?" The mature and stable Peter Zhou was also impressed in an instant, and the capital increased by 50% within one year. This is a fund that will make anyone crazy!

  But he still asked, after all, no one's money was blown by the strong wind.

"We can't promise such things as capital preservation, because any investment is risky. But the double guarantee of East West Bank and Mr. Smith Zhang, coupled with the rate of return that is definitely worth a try, I think Mr. Zhou can still accept it? And if Mr. Zhou is worried, then he can only buy one copy, which is only one thousand dollars." Yang Xiu's words were airtight.

   "This... well, even with the support of a great director who is also Chinese! I'll buy... buy ten copies, 10,000 dollars!" Peter Zhou thought for a while and made a decision.

  East West Bank and Zhang Dongcheng have a good reputation there, even if they lose money, they will give some compensation. What's more, the investment of only 10,000 U.S. dollars is completely affordable for Peter Zhou, who has an annual salary of 300,000 U.S. dollars.

   What if you hit the 50% return? Anyone who sees this number will invariably feel a little bit of gambling.
