Chapter 1157 Heart

After Zhang Wanting told Yu Cheng her story, the other party's reaction was as calm as water.

An investment of one million would have been a huge amount of money seven or eight years ago.

But at this time, in the Hong Kong film industry, a movie that costs millions can only be considered a small production.

It's not that Yu Cheng doubts Zhang Wanting's ability, it's just that it's a bit too difficult to make a movie with one million Hong Kong dollars and to shoot it abroad.

At this time, the exchange rate of Hong Kong dollars to U.S. dollars was 1 U.S. dollar to 7.8 Hong Kong dollars. If converted in this way, the cost of filming Wanting Zhang's film was only about 140,000 U.S. dollars.

Even if it is not a commercial movie, such an expense would only be enough to cover the salary of one leading actor if it were set in Hong Kong.

"If you want to make a movie with one million Hong Kong dollars, it's not easy at all."

Although Yu Cheng has not directed a movie herself, she knows as much about the film industry as professionals.

At least in her opinion, in today's film industry, whether it is in Hong Kong or Hollywood, a simple low-cost production will start at least 3 million Hong Kong dollars, and this is still the lowest level.

"I know this is difficult, but we have made careful calculations. With only one million dollars, we can film this drama."

Zhang Wanting didn't even dare to think about hiring any big-name actors. She was already satisfied if the movie could be made.

After pondering for a moment, Yu Cheng said slowly.

"I think otherwise, I'll take you to meet someone. If the script is feasible, then you don't need to worry about any funding issues for this drama."

Zhang Wanting didn't know who Yu Cheng was taking her to see at first, but since the other party said so, of course she was willing to accompany Yu Cheng on this trip.

"But this drama is a feature film. I have approached many film investors and bosses before, and they shook their heads when they read the script..."

Zhang Wanting has been rejected many times, and she is worried that she will make the same mistake again this time.

But after Yu Cheng heard what Zhang Wanting said, she just smiled slightly.

"Don't worry, this guy is completely different from other movie investors. In his eyes, as long as the script is well written, it doesn't matter what type it is."

Yu Cheng has been with Lin Daoqiu for several years, and Yu Cheng knows more or less about Lin Daoqiu.

From action to comedy to literary and drama films, and even the now popular special effects movies, as long as it has an excellent script, Lin Daoqiu will never miss it.

What Yu Cheng is worried about now is that the title of Zhang Wanting's play may not be appropriate if it is shown to Lin Daoqiu.

After all, the name of this drama is "Illegal Immigration", and Lin Daoqiu only swims in Hong Kong.

Although he has already obtained Xiangjiang's ID card, he still swam here. If he saw the name of this drama, would it make Lin Daoqiu unhappy?

"Wanting, before I go? I want to discuss something with you."

Zhang Wanting didn't know what Yu Cheng wanted to discuss with her? But she nodded anyway.

"It's like this. Can you change the name of this play? This person I want to take you to meet? It would be a bit inappropriate to let him watch it with the title of the current script."

It’s not easy for Yu Cheng to speak clearly, but she feels that Zhang Wanting should be able to understand what she means.

"Did he also immigrate here illegally?"

Zhang Wanting immediately understood what Yu Cheng meant when she heard it. After all, the name of this drama is "Illegal Immigration"? It is easy for people to think of it.

When asked by Zhang Wanting, Yu Zheng didn't know what to say. After all, with Lin Daoqiu's current status, he simply couldn't and no one dared to talk about such a thing.

But if I take this "Illegal Immigration" to Lin Daoqiu for investment? It will inevitably cause misunderstanding on the part of the other party. This may not be good.

"Old Yu, if that's the case, then I can't agree. The name of this play was chosen by me and a few classmates. It fits the play very well. And it also represents what the play is about. Changing it

I can’t agree to the film title.”

Zhang Wanting was very insistent? If she was asked to change the name of the play, she really couldn't agree to Yu Cheng's request.

Seeing Zhang Wanting's persistence, Yu Cheng didn't know what to say. On the one hand, she really wanted to help her, but on the other hand, she was worried that Lin Daoqiu would misunderstand her.

"Although I don't know who you are taking me to meet, he should be a successful person. If he was really so small-minded, he would not have achieved what he has now."

These were just Zhang Wanting's guesses. She didn't know yet that it was Lin Daoqiu that Yu Cheng was taking her to see.

When Yu Cheng heard this, she chewed Zhang Wanting's words carefully. Perhaps it was because she was too cautious, and maybe Lin Daoqiu didn't take this seriously at all.

"Well, the person I want to take you to see is Mr. Lin Daoqiulin. I hope it will be what you said and Mr. Lin will not be disgusted with the name of this play."

Zhang Wanting, who had been so confident before, suddenly became confused when she heard that the person Yu Cheng was taking her to see was Lin Daoqiude.

But to invest one million in a movie, you have to go to Lin Daoqiu. This is too extravagant.

Originally, Zhang Wanting thought that Yu Zheng took her to see just ordinary film investors or ordinary film company bosses. She never expected that it would be Lin Daoqiu.

"Let's go. Mr. Lin should be in the office now. Bring the script with you."

Once Yu Cheng made a decision, he would not back down, but Zhang Wanting nodded blankly, then took the bag and followed Yu Cheng to New Oriental.

Yu Cheng and Zhang Wanting were lucky. When they came to find Lin Daoqiu, he happened to be processing documents in the company.

As soon as Fang Jinsheng saw Yu Cheng walking over with a girl, he immediately stood up and greeted her.

"Assistant Fang, is it convenient for Mr. Lin now?"

"Miss Yu, Mr. Lin is inside now, who is this?"

Fang Jinsheng habitually wanted to know who Yu Cheng was going to bring to see Lin Daoqiu, and he also wanted to inform Lin Daoqiu.

"This is Miss Zhang Wanting Zhang, a top student in the film department of New York University."

Yu Cheng briefly introduced Zhang Wanting to Fang Jinsheng.

But when Yu Cheng finished speaking, the expression on Fang Jinsheng's face suddenly became very strange.
