Everyone Knows I am a Good Man

Chapter 332:

Ji Changze went back after the call, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Smith looking towards him.

He smiled, as if he hadn't seen it, he sat back in his place with a look of nonchalant expression.

Ji Changze didn't speak, but Smith wanted to know who called him just now.

The foreign man asked casually, "Changze, is your family looking for you?"

"No."

Ji Changze didn’t see anything on his face, took a bite of the dish, and wrote lightly: “It’s the uncle who’s acquaintance just now. This uncle is very prestigious in the entertainment industry and knows many people. I plan to make a small movie, but I am I am not familiar with things in the entertainment industry, so I asked him to show me some great people in this area."

Powerful person?

Smith's eyes shone slightly.

Great, isn't that the same as having money?

It is too simple for the rich in the entertainment industry to make money.

He was already in his heart, but Ji Changze was still afraid that he would not understand how good those people were. He smiled and said: "The Uncle Jin is said to have a lot of contacts. I plan to treat him to dinner these days. Let him introduce it again."

"Maybe several investors will be attracted to invest at that time. Uncle Jin's face is so big, there should be a lot of people here."

The students thought he was just bragging, and didn't take it to heart, they just nodded and smiled.

Anyway, Changze told them, if you don’t understand or don’t understand, it’s absolutely right to nod and smile.

Smith accurately extracted the keywords.

Investors, many people, have a wide network of people.

Every time you do a scam, the most troublesome part is getting to know the rich people in the local area. Either they have to buy a commission to introduce them, or they spend a lot of money to attract the attention of others.

Of these two methods, the first is often used, but there are risks, that is, if the population that is bought is not strict, it will be over.

Although the second type is insured, it also has the risk of not attracting people. For example, rich people in China are deeply uninterested in this kind of experience. Those who make a fortune halfway through are themselves a nouveau riche, and most of them don’t have any thoughts. Take the initiative to make friends.

So their team’s plan against China is to defraud the government of money.

The Chinese government is vigorously supporting economic development. As long as they have defrauded the government's trust and indicated that they want to develop locally in China, they can get a large amount of economic support.

It's just that the government is not that easy to deceive. They used to deliberately squandered all kinds of in the mountain city before, but they only got courtesy.

But it will be different if they can know many famous people.

People are always like this. They may not believe what you say when you open your mouth, but if others tell you how and how you are, most of them will believe it 80%.

Smith and the assistant glanced at each other, with a decision in their hearts, and a look of interest appeared on their faces: "What movie? Are you a student at school?"

"Yes, because it's a student at school, it's just a small movie."

What Ji Changze said was true: "I have always had this idea, and the money is ready, but because I don't know people in the film industry, I don't dare to toss about it casually."

"It's fine now. I didn't expect to meet Uncle Jin by such a coincidence. He is a well-known figure in the entertainment circle. With his promise to help, it will definitely go smoothly."

With that, he seemed to remember something suddenly, and quickly said to Smith: "Sorry, Mr. Smith, I guess I'm going to be busy and entertaining guests and seeing people around these days. I can't come to translate for you anymore, but the results of my classmates They are better than me, and I believe it will be the same without me."

"It's nothing."

Smith drank a sip: "It's about the movie you mentioned. I am also interested in the film industry. I don't know if it is convenient for Fang to take me with me..."

When the young student heard this, his face immediately showed embarrassment.

"This... I told Uncle Jin that I was the only one. Oh, Mr. Smith, don’t get me wrong. I didn’t mean that I didn’t want to take you. I just met Uncle Jin at a banquet before, and I asked him for help. He just said it was me alone, and now he promised me to add another person..."

As Ji Changze was talking, the embarrassed expression on his face was even more serious: "He also knows that I am here to take you to play according to the requirements of the school this time. After all, I am going to talk about things. If I bring you, I'm afraid Uncle Jin will think more about it. , I will feel that I have brought irrelevant people to the discussion scene."

Smith didn't expect Ji Changze to agree.

Originally, he had nothing to do with this matter, and he suddenly followed with him, and it was impossible to justify it.

But such a good opportunity to make contacts, it would be a pity if you just give up.

After all, God was helping them. He didn't want to just watch the opportunity slip by.

The assistant next to him saw the smile on Smith's face a little stiff, and suddenly jumped in:

"Sir, you were very interested in investing in the film industry in Chilton before. Since you are so in love with Ji Changze, why don't you discuss and become an investor?"

At that time, they will all become their own people. Isn't it right to go out for a meal or something?

Smith got a point and nodded immediately: "Ji, what do you think? Movies need investment. I invest and you will have more budget."

Things developed according to Ji Changze's ideas, but he did not agree.

After all, his current personality is a little boy who is not short of money. How could it be possible that people hurriedly agreed when they said investment.

So Ji Changze just smiled, although he didn't speak, his face showed a trace of embarrassment.

Smith understood in seconds, and smiled awkwardly: "Yes, you just said that the money is ready, there should be no shortage of money."

Since it's not straightforward, I can only act.

He sighed, his face showed a sense of sorrow, as if he was very sorry:

"Don’t be surprised. Although we have not been together for long, I have always liked to make friends. If I talk to you well, I will treat you as a friend. That’s why I said that I want to invest. Please Do not mind."

"Mr Smith."

Seeing his look like this, the young student really showed some anxiety and guilt on his face, opened his mouth, and looked at a loss: "I didn't mean that, please don't get me wrong."

"it does not matter."

Smith "forced his face and laughed": "You don't need to feel sorry for it, I just said it when I thought about it. I don't have to invest, but I am very interested in the film industry, so I just said it without thinking about it. If you don't need investment For business, don’t worry about my mood."

"no."

Ji Changze was really attracted by his sad selling:

"I don't want to refuse your investment. It's just that the dividends for this movie have already been distributed. If you invest now, I can't spare any dividends here. That's why... I can't let you do white work, right?"

Smith secretly laughed at the innocence of the young student in front of him.

He really thought how much money he could make from that little movie, not to mention that the entertainment environment in China is average. Even in a country where the entertainment industry is most popular, there are many big directors who stumbled and spent a lot of money. The money is out of rubbish.

Ji Changze, a young newcomer who has set foot in the film industry for the first time, is still a student, what can he shoot?

It is estimated that the dividends he said, other investors and the like, are all looking at his father's face before they are willing to give some money to play with the children.

How could someone really expect him to make a movie at his age and earn dividends?

A smile from the bottom of my heart, but a sincere face on the face; "I just think that we are in love and are interested in movies, so I just want to help you. As for the dividends, I don't plan to ask for it."

"How can this work."

Ji Changze was suddenly "shocked" and looked at the westerner sitting opposite with a dazed expression.

"Then, isn't this just asking you to give money for nothing? No, how can I do this, then you are too bad."

Smith thought about it and signed a dividend agreement for the money. In the end, the movie rushed to the street, and he got a small amount of money if he couldn't make ends meet. Isn't that the result of paying the money directly without paying dividends?

Choosing the second one can also reap a wave of Ji Changze's gratitude and favorability.

"What is this" on his face:

"As a person of our status, you don't care whether you lose or not. If you feel uncomfortable, you can take me with you when you go out to meet people, and let me learn by listening."

"Think of it as paying tuition, right?"

Ji Changze was really moved by his remarks. After thinking about it, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, I accept your love. We will be friends in the future."

Smith didn't think he agreed too quickly or anything.

This is easy to understand.

It's as if one person has hundreds of millions of yuan in his hand, and another person invites him to dinner and a meal of ten yuan worth of Mala Tang, and then says that I bought you the money, and you don't need to pay me back.

He estimated that he would not chase to pay back the money.

After all, in his eyes, these ten dollars are not a big deal. They will be affectionate, but they will not take these ten dollars in his heart.

Smith was only planning to use this as an excuse to knock on a few opening bricks, and didn't intend to give too much money.

But once he knew Ji Changze’s details, he was afraid that he would be surprised if he gave him less. Second, when it’s time for the dinner, it is estimated that Ji Changze will also introduce him as an investor, how much money he has invested, and how much money he has given, before he can let him. People look at it differently.

Smith thought about it and couldn't make up his mind. He simply looked at Ji Changze and asked, "How much did your other investors invest?"

Where can Ji Changze get any other investors?

But what he made up was exactly the same, and said without changing his face: "Some gave tens of thousands, some gave hundreds of thousands, and some gave hundreds of thousands, all of which are not the same."

Smith almost didn't break the expression on his face.

He can understand tens of thousands, he can barely accept hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands? ? ?

It's just spending money to listen to the sound, who is so fierce, holding hundreds of thousands to accompany children to play?

Ji Changze was still there and said: "Actually, the money is basically not bad. I am still in school, and I can't run around shooting. The main thing is to buy those equipment or something. Otherwise, Mr. Smith, you don't want to pay. Yes, buy equipment directly."

"If you buy these things, you also need to deal with people in the film industry, so you can learn more easily."

No money for equipment.

Smith breathed a sigh of relief.

This sounded a lot easier for him than hundreds of thousands.

He nodded: "Okay, then I will buy equipment. When shall we go out to meet?"

"Uncle Jin meant that he could recommend a few tomorrow, and then just eat at this hotel. Talking about things in this hotel will make it easier for people to believe that I really have money in my hands."

As he said, Ji Changze seemed to think of something, and he was about to go out when he got up: "I will pay the money first, and then book the hotel. Although the person introduced by Uncle Jin is definitely not the kind of person who can order food, he still has to pay. I don’t need money to show that people can trust me and have a good chat with me."

correct.

What could be more trustworthy than a treat in this expensive restaurant.

Smith will not let go of such a good opportunity.

He immediately got up and stood in front of Ji Changze: "I will come."

"No, it's my treat. How am I as embarrassed to let you pay?" Ji Changze flatly refused, with a righteous expression on his face: "I know you think I am young, don't worry, I can still afford this little money."

Smith: "I don’t think you can’t afford to pay, but I’m just joining in suddenly, and I’m afraid that Mr. Jin will be upset, so you just let me, let me pay the money, when the time comes, this meal It’s me who treats me, and I’m your investor again, and others can take a high look at me.”

What he said was reasonable and well-founded, and the expression on the young man's face really hesitated gradually.

"What you said makes a lot of sense, but I can't always let you treat..."

"It's nothing, you care about me with this little money."

Smith's heart was so painful that he dripped blood, but he still smiled lightly on his face, with an expression of "We are all rich, so don't refuse such a small amount of money".

As soon as this sentence came out, Ji Changze really loosened.

"Well then, all the treats will be entrusted to Mr. Smith."

"Don't worry, wrap it around me."

Smith endured the heartache and kept the smile on his face.

Back to the room, the assistant who had been holding back silent finally said: "Are you crazy? Do you know how expensive it is to eat here? The money we planned to spend in China this time has been spent, if we continue to be so extravagant , We are going to spend our own money!"

"I know, but it is very difficult for Huaguo to make contacts without introductions. Now that we finally have an opportunity, of course we have to seize it."

Smith is also painful, but he is more rational, rubbing his eyebrows, and opening the safe to look at the money inside: "Although eating at this restaurant is very expensive, it is only a few meals to introduce contacts. We still paid tens of thousands of dollars."

"Then you still have to buy movie equipment? I mean it's fine if you invest a small amount of tens of thousands of dollars. It's okay for you. You didn't even ask how much the equipment would cost, but you agreed in one go. What if it's expensive? "

"Is it possible that we really have to use our savings? Do you know how much money we have lost today? The things that the Chinese student took apart are worth hundreds of thousands!!"

Smith was a headache when he said: "I know, can I not know? But the money has been spent, and I can only try to make it back ten times a hundred times a thousand times."

"As for buying film equipment, isn't it just making a small movie? How much can it cost? At most, he buys a few more cameras to buy a few computers. Can we not afford this money? We rely on Ji Changze's connections By comparison, what is that money!"

His name was Assistant, but his companion had quarreled with him for half a night, but he was finally persuaded by Smith.

After all, it seems like Smith said that it is difficult for them to hook up with the rich in China. Now they finally have such an opportunity, even if they know it is not easy, they still want to give it a try.

"Forget it, even if you are right, how much do you estimate to spend on the photographic equipment? I have to prepare it in advance."

After all, Smith's current identity is a "big money", there is no big money to buy things, but he can't pull out a card with enough money.

Smith actually doesn't know the film industry very well. He used to pretend to be a big boss in the business, and he really didn't pay attention to this aspect.

But think about it, there shouldn't be much money.

"It's about 50,000 or 60,000 for all of them. The Chinese student's posture does not look like he is going to make a big movie. A small-cost movie doesn't cost much."

The next day, Smith sat next to Ji Changze, listening to what the opposite middle-aged man said in not very standard English, the hand holding the wine glass almost fell the wine glass.

"Does these alone cost hundreds of thousands?"

The middle-aged director smiled and nodded: "Of course, this is still less."

Because he was treated in this expensive restaurant, he gave Smith a lot of face. When the other party asked, he extended a few words along the way:

"Making a movie does not mean that you can shoot with a camera. There are a lot of equipment to prepare. Carrier equipment, track equipment, lighting equipment, surveillance equipment, post-production always need a computer, but production can never be made by one. Well, then there will be several computers, and we have to buy a good one."

"If there is a Feitian scene, the coercive ones are definitely needed. This stuff is not cheap. These are just basic equipment. I haven't counted the most expensive labor costs."

Smith: "..."

Hundreds of thousands...This is still basic. It's better to invest money directly. It sounds like making this movie is like a bottomless pit.

Facts have proved that once the movie is filmed, it is really a bottomless pit.

Even if the current prices are not as expensive as later generations, the characteristics of burning money have already been revealed.

Ji Changze had a calm expression on his face, obviously he didn't think there was anything in the hundreds of thousands (of course he didn't think it anymore, he didn't pay the money).

The young man just poured a glass of wine for the middle-aged director with great vision: "Uncle Liu, I am a newcomer. I want to toss these things only with my passion. I need your help to talk about those things about making movies. "

"It's okay, I'll tell you about it."

The middle-aged director was very helpful to Ji Changze’s holding and talking, and immediately said it to the face: "It is not only the equipment that burns money to make a movie, but also the labor. The actors and the stars will not talk about those, but only talk about group performances. It’s okay if you only shoot a few people. If you are filming a big scene, invite hundreds of people to perform in a group. If you don’t do it in one day, the money will go up."

"If you want to take a good shot, you may have to take it more than ten times or twenty times, ten days or twenty days. At that time, you may not have finished shooting things, and you will have no money in your hands."

Ji Changze immediately answered, "Don't worry about Uncle Liu, the money in my hand should be enough to spend."

The middle-aged director didn’t think he was bragging either. When Mr. Jin found him, he didn’t elaborate on Ji Changze’s identity. He only said that he was a junior who wanted to make a movie. Because he was young, he didn’t know anything, so he asked him to meet him. Know yourself.

Although Mr. Jin didn't say too clearly, this year, a student who was still in college was able to make a movie, and he could also let Mr. Jin act as an intermediary, showing that it is rich or noble.

When he saw Ji Changze himself, he was even more sure of this.

So he certainly doesn't worry about money.

Even if he really spent a lot of money and made a bad film, the second generation is rich, and the money is the degree of sprinkling water. People don't care about it. Why should he persuade him?

"I will tell you about where money is spent on filming, and who else needs to be found. I also have business cards. In this circle, as long as you have the money in place, filming will definitely be fine."

Cannibals are short and soft.

The middle-aged director ate this meal of tens of thousands, and did not intend to eat it for nothing. He explained all the details to Ji Changze clearly, and finally gave him a bunch of business cards.

At the end, the host and the guest had a great time and said that when Ji Changze's film was shot and released, he would definitely join in.

Of course, everyone knows that this is a scene, and everyone is very busy. How could it be possible to go to the cinema to watch a movie to join in.

Ji Changze's heart is clear, but his face is smiling sincerely grateful.

"Then thank you Uncle Liu, I will definitely send you a ticket when that happens."

"Okay, get in the car, don't give it away."

The middle-aged director left, and when Mr. Jin turned around, Ji Changze was still smiling.

Is this silly boy really serious?

He wanted to open his mouth and say it, but if you think about it, Ji Changze should take it seriously. Anyway, if he asks at that time, people will definitely not tell the truth and never read it.

"Changze, I've done this for you all at once, and he knows a lot by himself."

Smith, who was still immersed in "hundreds of thousands to buy equipment, and not necessarily enough", heard this and felt a little better in his heart.

He just patronized Roupain and felt distressed. He didn't have time to get a relationship with the director, just watching him and Ji Changze analyze the current environment of the entertainment industry.

In other words, he is also a well-known director. He must have a lot of money in his hands. What a pity, what a pity! !

Although cleverness is mistaken for cleverness, equipment seems to be more expensive.

And after spending money, I haven't been able to get in touch with people.

But anyway, such an expensive meal can be ended with only one invitation.

As for the connections, he can see clearly. Although the people Mr. Jin invited are rich, they are all those who are waiting for others to invest in them, not they invest in them.

Fortunately, only one person is hired and everything is almost done. It can save a little money.

However, Ji Changze seemed to sing the opposite of him, with a smile on his face and the excitement of "I want to do a career", and he did not feel embarrassed at all and put forward to Mr. Jin:

"Is it necessary to invite someone to have a meal before buying the equipment? Or else I will trouble you to find someone who sells the equipment these days. It's best to invite the leader of the movie to have a few meals and communicate. Exchange feelings."

It's okay to find someone, but Mr. Jin has a doubt: "Didn't you say that you are going back to the mountain city in one week? Is there enough time?"

"It doesn't matter. It's a treat to discuss matters anyway, and it's not really about eating or anything. If the time is too late, you will have four or five meals a day. It's better not to eat food and just talk about matters."

Ji Changze will not let go of such a good opportunity to contact people.

The most important thing is that all the money needed to get contacts comes from the liar. He doesn't need to spend a dime. Of course, he can take advantage of it.

Mr. Liar Smith: "..."

Ten thousand meals a day, five meals a day, fifty thousand yuan can go out that day.

If you really ask for a week, five to seven thirty five, three hundred and fifty thousand...

Even if he had a lot of savings in his hand, he used to spend it when he earned it. Three hundred and fifty thousand is enough to make him painful for half a month.

He smiled stiffly and tried to make Ji Changze rein in the cliff: "Do you still need to treat me when you buy something? It's not a business relationship, just give money?"

Ji Changze glanced at him, "You don't understand" on his face.

"Mr. Smith, you are a foreigner. You don't know that China is a society of human relations. You have to drink and exchange feelings first. Even if it is a business relationship, there is no mature market for the equipment and equipment required by Huaguo movies.

If you want to buy a good one, you need to get it right away. That also needs to be discussed with others. "

Mr. Jin didn't understand what Ji Changze grumbled to Smith. After asking, he nodded again and again:

"Yes, Changze is right. Oh, it's really the waves before the Yangtze River and the waves behind it. You are a young man with a face like a child, and you have a good deal of things."

He smiled and joked: "If it wasn't for my daughter to be young, I would want you to be my son-in-law."

"Hahahahahaha, don't laugh at me, Uncle Jin. I have a girlfriend. I will bring her to see you next time."

Have a girlfriend.

I can't complain about wanting to start a career while in college.

Mr. Jin expressed his understanding. After all, he suddenly got up and got married because of love and marriage.

Men, most of them want to work hard to make their beloved woman worship.

"That's fine, then I will try to arrange things for you as full as possible. Let you see more people these days. Remember to make arrangements when you book a room here."

"no problem."

Ji Changze smiled and patted Smith on the shoulder: "We will definitely arrange it, so you can put a hundred and twenty hearts."

Smith couldn't understand what he was talking about, so he asked.

Ji Changze told him in English: "I'm telling Uncle Jin that you have paid for the treat, and you have paid for the treat these days. Let him not worry that I have no money."

Smith: "..."

He felt he was about to commit a heart attack.

However, in the presence of the only rich man he knew in the capital, he couldn't directly regret that he was unwilling to entertain guests.

Even if he was willing to give up Mr. Jin, who had managed to get on the line, he was also reluctant to bear with Ji Changze with a big fat sheep standing behind him.

The most important thing is that he still wants to rely on this group of students to obtain government support funds, so he can't collapse.

Ji Changze could feel that his shoulders were shaking slightly.

Obviously knowing it, he deliberately raised a grin and asked Smith, "What's wrong with you? How do you feel that you look unhappy? Didn't this matter go well today?"

Smith: "...nothing."

He tried to squeeze a smile: "I just don't understand what you are saying, so I'm thinking about whether to learn the Chinese language."

"What else to study? Anyway, we have the money to ask for an interpreter. Just ask for an interpreter."

After Ji Changze said casually, he suddenly added another sentence: "If you really want to learn, I know a teacher who specializes in teaching languages. He knows eight languages ​​and has rich teaching experience. He is also a rich second-generation. Not to introduce to you?"

Rich second generation? ?

Smith's eyes lit up when he was full of chagrin just now: "Okay..."

Ji Changze: "Of course, he doesn't rely on this to eat. The charge is very expensive. It's about an hour of class, and the cost is 30,000 yuan per hour, but it doesn't matter, you are not bad anyway."

Smith: "..."

He quickly retransmitted: "Well, okay, what you said is right, anyway, you can spend money to ask for an interpreter, I won't bother.

"Okay, you can open it as you want, then let's arrange the restaurant first, and make arrangements for tomorrow."

Smith: "..."

He almost shed blood and tears in his heart, took out his card, and ordered three meals for tomorrow.

Ten thousand per meal, thirty thousand a day went out.

What happened, he had to hold on to his smile, and put on the look that this little money is not a big deal to him.

The young student who was walking in front seemed to feel a pain, and looked back at him.

"Mr. Smith, is this too much money? Or should I pay it out by myself? You look at me and you have forgotten that you are starting from scratch, and you are definitely not as rich as I am."

"No, what is this little money, let me do it."

Smith immediately cheered up, showing an expression of "a mere 30,000 I don't care about it", and the students waiting for them here were stunned.

They also remembered Ji Changze’s previous instructions. No matter how curious they were in their hearts, they didn’t show any signs on their faces. They only waited to return to their place of residence before asking:

"Changze, what's going on, aren't they liars? Why are they willing to spend so much money?"

Ji Changze was refreshing to eat today, and it was refreshing to talk, and finally admired Smith's constipation-like expression.

In a good mood, he didn't mind teaching these stupid spores.

"Simple, people are reluctant to pay for what they have already paid. If he didn't say a treat before and didn't say to buy equipment for me, it would be fine. But now he has already asked for a class and agreed to buy equipment, he has already paid a lot. .

If the interruption now leaves me with the impression that he actually has no money, for him, it is equivalent to losing trust in me. Then his previous expenses and sacrifices will be in vain? "

So Ji Changze didn't bother to cheat except for coaxing each other at first.

Smith has already paid half, either bite the bullet and go down, there is hope of winning the fruit, or it is interrupted, the hope of winning the fruit is gone, and those who have paid in front are also spent in vain.

Ji Changze leaned back on his chair: "People are like this. That's why some liars can lie not only the first time, but also the same person the second time."

"Let me give you an example. It's like my group of little brothers. When they paid the first time, even if there was no movement on my side, I told them at the beginning. The payment will not be refunded. They can’t get the money back, so they can only choose to trust me and give me the money again.”

Because they have already paid the money, they don't want to lose the money, they will subconsciously try to protect their emotions, hypnotize themselves that they are not a liar, the money will definitely come back, and then hand in the second.

From one to seven students who are listening to teacher Ji’s course honestly: "..."

Ruan Heng: "...Why are you taking yourself as an example again, then you are not, is this not a lie?"

"Who lied, I am not the few foreign scammers who took the money and ran away. I just took the money temporarily and waited for the opportunity to make money."

Ruan Heng, who has always been well informed, murmured: "You have been preparing for that time for more than half a year."

"Doesn't this make me wait?"

The seven people who heard Ji Changze's words were dumbfounded: "Where did you wait? Making a movie?"

"No, Smith, isn't he the time for me?"

The young man spread his hands, his face was confident: "Before I didn't have enough money in my hands, even if I wanted to make a movie, I didn't have any money, and I didn't have any connections."

"It's hard to run into a group of scammers, sending money and contacts, helping me to support the market, isn't the timing?"

He said with a look of excitement:

"After I came, I found something was wrong, but it made me happy. Every day I called a sleepy sleeper to check the information and details of those people. The result...Look at me, what kind of luck is I! I'm short of money. Someone will send money up! There are still so many idiots!"

Seven people:"……"

No wonder Ji Changze has been reading books on economics when he comes here, no wonder he is not at all concerned about translating and being a tour guide, and he has a cocky expression of "you are all mortals, Laozi, the world's first".

After knowing that Smith was a liar, this guy was not at all angry.

Dare to love him, and treat these people as pies falling from the sky.

The pie was automatically delivered to his mouth, and of course he was calm down.
