The so-called pseudo-documentary was a method of imitating news, documentaries, and amateur filming.
It used rough and unrefined images to create a sense of realism.
" Kunchi Rock,"" The Ninth Ward,"" The Witch,"" The Clover Files," and so on were all relatively well-known pseudo-documentaries.
In particular, the pioneering " The Witch," was promoted under the guise of a " real case."
They even posted a fake missing person notice to make the audience think that the video was really taken before the three students died.
In reality, it was filled with actors.
This time, Xuan was preparing to film 'Smart: Paranormal Activity could be shot with an ordinary DV.
The story was about a young couple who moved into a new house and used a DV to record their lives.
He did not expect the new house to be haunted and have supernatural phenomena happening frequently. The DV also faithfully recorded a series of creepy scenes.
In his previous life, this movie had invested 11,000 USD and finally earned 197 million USD at the box office!
With Xuan's current funds, he could only…
"Wait, I don't even have 10,000 dollars!”
Xuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the pitiful balance in his account.
Fortunately, he didn't have much money. It shouldn't be a problem to borrow from someone.
The few brothers from the boy band and the celebrities he knew from Echang Entertainment.
It wouldn't be difficult to gather tens of thousands of yuan, right?
……
An hour later, Xuan collapsed on the sofa.
He finally understood the cruelty of the entertainment industry.
The previous boy band ESO had a total of six people: Lu Ha, Wang Yibo, Yi Yang Dry Cleaning, Wang Yuan, Wang Junkai, and the center position Xuan.
When they were in a group, they were still good brothers who loved each other.
But now, she had turned her back on him.
He then asked some of the girls he was close to, and Aunt Wu Xuan, Meng Meiqi, and Lai Meiyun all blacklisted him.
Only Yang Chaoyue, the girl with the "koi" background, sympathized with him.
"I don't have much money on hand. I only have 10,000 yuan.”
"Forget it, forget it. Keep it for yourself. Thank you.”
After she earned money, she gave it all to her family.
The little girl had it tough too. She was not as popular as she was in her previous life, and she did not have a mansion.
Xuan didn't want hers.
As for Yang Mi, Di Xiaoba, Liu Tianxian, and the others, Xuan had only met them once. It was not convenient to borrow money from them for the time being.
While he was still thinking of a solution, he suddenly received a call from an unfamiliar person.
"Xuan, how have you been recently?"
The sweet voice on the other end stunned him. It sounded a little familiar.
"Zhao Jingmai?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry. You helped me so much before and even caused you to be…I haven't added you as a friend, so I owe you a thank you.”
Zhao Jingmai was a cute girl with a round face and some baby fat. Her big eyes were very intelligent, leaving a deep impression on Xuan.
She debuted as a child star and had acted in a children's feature drama," Young Magician."
Now that he had just become an adult, everything had to start from scratch.
Director Han's drinking session was supposed to be her one chance, but unfortunately, she had encountered such a situation.
If Xuan hadn't stepped forward, who knew what would have happened?
Zhao Jingmai felt a little scared just thinking about it. She felt like she owed Xuan a lot.
"Haha, it's okay. I've been unhappy with Director Han for a long time.”
"No matter what, I should thank you. Oh right, I heard that you recently…have a need for funds?”
Zhao Jingmai asked carefully.
"Eh, how did you know?"
"I heard it from my friends in the industry…"
Xuan smiled freely. It seemed that he had become the target of the entertainment circle.
After all, it was indeed brave for an unknown male celebrity to challenge the big boss.
Since she asked, Xuan didn't hide anything.
"Yeah, I'm preparing to shoot a movie and try to release it in North America.”
"Filming a movie?" The girl sounded surprised.
In their opinion, Xuan should be going to play a small role.
He didn't expect that he would want to shoot a movie himself?
He was an idol of a boy band. Did he know how to make movies?
If it was someone else, they might have doubted it.
But Zhao Jingmai wouldn't. She could capture a strong confidence in Xuan's tone.
She rolled her eyes and asked tentatively,
"Then can I invest?"
"Of course. How much are you prepared to invest?”Xuan was lacking funds, so he didn't reject anyone.
"Uh…I don't have much money on hand at the moment. I only have about 40,000 yuan. In another two to three months, we should be able to gather a few hundred thousand…"
Zhao Jingmai sighed. Making a movie could easily cost tens of millions.
In her opinion, 40,000 yuan was nothing.
"More than 40,000? That's enough."
4 RMB was about 6000 USD, which was enough for the shooting.
Anyway, he didn't need to be paid for the movie. He used a second-hand DV, so 1000 US dollars including the venue should be enough.
The remaining 3000 would be used to hire the main lead, and the remaining 1000 would be used to hire extras. It should be about the same.
In any case, Paranormal Activity had only been filmed for a week in real life, so it was enough.
"That's great. As long as I can help you.”
"Oh right, when the time comes, we'll split the box office earnings. How about we split 55?”
Xuan didn't know how much he should get. After all, they invested in the start-up funds. Giving her 70% wasn't too much.
"No need. When you become a famous director, just leave me a role.”
Zhao Jingmai smiled sweetly.
"Eh? This movie will earn at least 100 million yuan at the box office. Don't lose too much!”
"Ah?" Zhao Jingmai knew that he was confident, but she didn't expect him to be this confident!
A low-budget movie with 100 million box office earnings?
If she had known that the unit of measurement was US dollars, her jaw might have dropped.
"I really don't need it. This money is equivalent to lending it to you. Just return this much to me when the time comes.”
To be honest, she was unable to express her gratitude towards Xuan.
With her family background, Zhao Jingmai wouldn't care even if she had 100 million yuan in profits.
As long as he could help Xuan.
"Alright, I'll give you a bonus after the movie is released.”
If she could earn more than 100 million dollars at the box office, Xuan planned to give her at least 100 million yuan.
Within three months, 50,000 yuan for 100 million yuan.
Zhao Jingmai would never have expected that this investment would have a 2000-fold return!
