Our Rise Era

Chapter 74 Mr. Zhang, stop throwing money at me!

outside the window.

The wind continued to blow.

Even though it was a sunny day, the wind still felt a bit chilly.

Jiang Chao stared at the female armor in "Armor Man" in amazement, his mind went blank.

Somehow, he remembered a few years ago, when he was in love, and by chance, he watched a short film from a certain island country...

At first I thought it was some new Ultraman work from the island country...

Over the years, the island country has launched the [Ultraman] IP every once in a while, and then, other branches have been born on this IP...

But in fact, the core is very simple, they are all stories about heroes fighting monsters.

But, as he watched the film, Jiang Chao felt something was wrong.

This is a story about a beautiful, female superhero...

Moreover, the previous story is the same as other routines. Monsters suddenly invade the earth, and then the Earth Defense Force runs over to get killed. Finally, Ultraman transforms, and the camera switches to Ultraman fighting the monster. In the end, the monster is killed by Ultraman in one fell swoop...

However, something was not right with that movie!
During that transformation, Ultraman was actually defeated by the monster, captured, and taken to the monster's lair.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Chao saw a scene that shattered his three views, especially the intense shock to his various organs, which was extremely strong!

In a trance...

Jiang Chao, who had just woken up from his memory, took a deep breath, then stared at the picture on the PPT and swallowed his saliva.

"Um, Mr. Zhang, are we shooting a serious special effects film that can be shown on TV?"

"Director Jiang, what are you thinking? We only have two channels for releasing films right now: the Internet and TV. We can't release films through other channels... How can we release something that is not serious?"

Zhang Yang frowned when he heard this.

"Will there be that kind of... Well, the main purpose of our special effects film is for children, right?"

"If it's not a child, then who could it be?"

Zhang Yang narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

"No, no, just asking casually, continue, let's continue..."

Jiang Chao coughed lightly, looked at everyone's strange gazes, and finally blushed and shook his head quickly.

"Oh, Director Jiang, I know you are very unrestrained by nature, but our special effects film must be reasonable, legal and compliant, and must not cause any adverse effects on the aesthetics of children. When reviewing it, you must pay more attention, do you understand?"

Among the photos of several sexy female [Armored Man], Zhang Yang's expression was more serious than ever before.

Jiang Chao coughed lightly again and nodded seriously, hoping that he was overthinking it.

Next, Zhang Yang introduced several male Armor Warriors in the conference room.

Flame Dragon Armor!

Xingtian Armor!

Nava, the Molten Armor of Fire Element, and Yatales, the Thunder Armor!
……

Jiang Chao was actually very calm deep down, but Mr. Chen next to him, after looking at picture after picture, screamed with excitement, and even couldn't wait to stand up and made a cool transformation.

When Jiang Chao saw this, he was so embarrassed that he almost felt like he was going to die!

I remember watching those special effects films when I was a kid, and now I recall them.

Omg!

What the hell!

What’s the difference between this and peeing on the street?
but……

Judging from Mr. Chen's excited look...

These men's armors should be particularly suitable for children?

....................................

"What, you want me to shoot 15 episodes a month?"

"Mr. Zhang, this is 15 episodes! We have to shoot one episode every two days. This job is so difficult..."

"What? Two days to shoot an episode isn't enough, and we need to add special effects? The special effects can't be too bad, they have to be the same as in the movies?"

"Boss Zhang, why don't you just take the knife and stab me to death!"

"Now our crew has nothing except 500 million investment and a few female actors. It will take at least half a month to prepare the crew..."

"And designing those costumes and props... Mr. Zhang, it's really impossible to finish it!"

"Mr. Zhang, I'm not a character in a novel. I don't have three heads and six arms..."

"..."

10:12 am.

The meeting finally ended.

After the meeting, Jiang Chao followed Zhang Yang into the office.

The moment he arrived at the office, Jiang Chao heard a shocking piece of news. He thought he had misheard.

Zhang Yang gave him some time...

It is now May 07, 12.

By January 08, 1, 23 episodes will be filmed...

One month, 15 episodes!
What will he do during this period?
He wanted to make all the armor in Mr. Zhang's design at once. He had to find special effects, props and scenery. In addition, he had to find suitable actors and form a crew.

Apart from the special effects that can be done later, all other burdens fell on him at once!

One month!

When He is God
In the office. Zhang Yang sat on a chair and silently took out a bundle of money and placed it on the table: "Is one hundred thousand yuan enough?"

"Mr. Zhang, this is not a question of money. The point is, I just can't do it. It's not realistic..." Looking at the red RMB on the table, Jiang Chao's heart skipped a beat. Then he stared at the smiling Zhang Yang, his expression becoming slightly bitter.

Zhang Yang did not respond to his words, but took out another bundle of money from his pocket and placed it on the table: "What about two hundred thousand?"

"But……"

"Three hundred thousand! Complete all the filming except the special effects within one month, and after I've watched it and thought the quality is OK, you can take the three hundred thousand. If you take it one day later, you'll get ten thousand less, and if you take it one day earlier, you'll get ten thousand more..."

"..." Jiang Chao's breathing became rapid involuntarily.

He thought of an irrational response in his mind, but for some reason, when he spoke, the words froze.

He obviously didn't want to look at the 300,000 RMB, but damn it, he just couldn't control his eyes!
Three hundred thousand!
That’s three hundred thousand!
Three hundred thousand nowadays is enough for a down payment on a house in Yanjing City!

I can make so much money in just one month, damn!
"How is it? Mr. Jiang... Mr. Jiang, I've talked to Mr. Chen. If the movie you made can satisfy Mr. Chen, he will give you an additional 40 yuan as a reward... A total of 40 yuan... As long as you nod and sign the contract, yuan will be yours in a month!"

"What if I can't finish it?" Jiang Chao felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and saliva kept coming out of his throat. He swallowed it hard and then looked at Zhang Yang.

"Since you've signed with our company, we can't fine you or anything like that... For this drama, as long as you don't do anything outrageous and make it happen within three months, you can take the guaranteed 100,000..."

"Really no fine?"

"You can look at the contract, and you can also record my words. If I tell a lie, you can sue me!"

in the office.

Zhang Yang still had a smile on his face as he poured a cup of tea for Jiang Chao.

Jiang Chao looked at Zhang Yang’s eyes.

All he saw was sincerity, seriousness, and a heartfelt sense of trust.

Jiang Chao took a sip of tea, then silently looked at the three hundred thousand.

Then, he saw Zhang Yang walking towards him, bowing his head slightly, and patting his shoulder: "Director Jiang, this is 15 yuan a month, and this 15 yuan is only for 500 episodes. Mr. Chen's investment is 52 million yuan for 52 episodes. The budget for this drama is 40 episodes. If you can shoot 120 episodes, then this 120 yuan can be at least tripled... million! Director Jiang, you can earn million yuan by standing on the chair and directing the shooting!"

"..."

"How many commercials did you shoot before to earn 120 million? Now, guess how much a similar house in Yanjing City costs?"

"..."

"Moreover, this money is just the minimum guarantee given by this special drama for you to complete your goals. It does not include any share of the drama's profits..."

"..."

"Do you want to drive a sports car? Do you want to live in a mansion? Do you want everyone to look up to you? Do you want to be at the pinnacle of life?"

"..."

Zhang Yang's voice was very soft, but the sense of temptation in his voice was extremely strong, just like a spark, which instantly made Jiang Chao's heart surge with an inexplicable sense of blood.

His breathing began to become heavier.

When he just graduated, he was proud.

He felt that he was talented and that it was only a matter of time before he would become successful. He looked down on the capitalists and even wrote a series of articles on his blog several times to mock the capitalists. He was very proud of himself and felt that he was the center of the world...

but……

After spending so many years in Taiwan, I got slapped in the face.

Then this slap bent his waist...

The so-called pride...

It's long gone now.

Big villas, sports cars, beautiful women, a life of luxury!

Oh shit!

Finally, he nodded and gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll try! I'll sign, but I have requirements!"

"any request?"

"After the actual filming, other people can't make comments. I will shoot according to the script, but Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen can't interfere with my creation. At least, they can't interfere with me when I'm filming..."

Jiang Chao stared at Zhang Yang, his voice was extremely serious and firm.

At this moment, it seemed that only these words could make his pride, which had been corrupted by money, stand up a little.

"Leave professional matters to professionals, everyone understands this! Mr. Chen is only the producer, but all the filming is up to you, don't worry about that..." Zhang Yang nodded!

"Well!"

When Jiang Chao saw Zhang Yang agreed, his tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

After a while, he nodded, took a quick look at the contract handed over by Zhang Yang, and signed his name.

After signing, he stood up...

When he was about to leave the office, Jiang Chao stopped again.

"boss Zhang!"

"you say……"

"Can I mobilize the company's resources?"

"As long as it is reasonable, legal and compliant, the company's resources will be mobilized for you. If it can't be mobilized, I will go and talk to you personally..."

"it is good!"

"Oh, by the way, special effects company, give me a few spots and I'll go talk to them in person...try to save time."

"it is good!"

"..."
