Entertainment: I have a cultural star from the future
Chapter 47 Ming Yukang's Hollywood Dream
"Oh, Mr. Su, this is a stupid thing I did!" Ming Yukang sighed with a wry smile and explained slowly.
It turns out that after Ming Yukang graduated from university, his career did not flourish as he had imagined. Instead, he suffered a lot of exclusion because he was Chinese. Later, when he was desperate, he met Stephen, a rich second-generation.
Stephen has always had a dream of becoming a film director, but he is uneducated and has made several bad films that no one watched. Later, after being advised by an expert to find a director who can make movies, he met Ming Yukang who was at his wit's end.
Ming Yukang could hardly afford to eat at the time and almost starved to death on the streets for his dream, and then he met Stephen.
Ming Yukang agreed to film for Stephen, but he didn't expect that Stephen knew nothing about filming.
Later, Ming Yukang was in charge of the entire filming process, and he was also responsible for the editing and other post-production of the film.
Stephen, who didn't care about anything, got himself the position of chief director.
Ming Yukang didn't care, and even felt that Stephen, as an investor, was very reasonable, because he would not interfere with Ming Yukang during the filming of the movie, and Ming Yukang also had the title of assistant director.
Not only did Stephen save him, he also gave him the job he wanted. He is simply the perfect investor.
Ming Yukang thought that as an assistant director, he could at least leave his name in the movie. Even if he didn't follow Stephen in the future, he would have the qualifications to join other crews.
There are no permanent partners in Hollywood.
Ming Yukang is quite ambitious. He came to Hollywood because he really wanted to make a name for himself.
Although Stephen is a rich second-generation, the most he could invest was only a few million star coins. In this way, Ming Yukang made careful calculations and filmed several movies that made a small profit.
These films also made Stephen famous in a small circle in Hollywood.
Stephen tasted the sweetness of making money. Although it was not a big profit, he was able to hold his head high in his family.
After all, it’s good enough if the second generation of rich people don’t spend money or squander money. Stephen didn’t have a very bad reputation before, but now he can actually make money!
He became very famous in the family for a while.
Then Stephen became arrogant, and later he met a group of friends from somewhere. These people said they wanted to invest in a big game, tens of billions of star coins.
Ming Yukang also thought that his chance had come, but when he was assembling the crew and reading the script in the early stages, he found something wrong.
I'm afraid it won't cost even 100 million star coins to shoot this movie.
Not only is the script and plot bad, but even though it's called a masterpiece of special effects, there aren't many places where special effects can be used. And even in these few places, the budget is skyrocketing. A special effect that costs only a few hundred thousand can cost tens of millions of star coins.
This, isn’t this in XQ?
Ming Yukang didn't want to fail to make his movie and end up in jail.
In this investment, the director's fee is very high, but Ming Yukang understands that he is not worth that much money. It is nothing more than money to ask him to "shut up".
If something goes wrong, it is naturally Ming Yukang's fault.
He privately asked Stephen about the source of funds, but Stephen said the source was fine.
At this point, this person has been brainwashed by the big production, and his mind is full of dreams of soaring to the sky.
Ming Yukang couldn't believe it. He was afraid that he would become a scapegoat for these people in the end.
Chinese people may face discrimination when they file lawsuits abroad. Ming Yukang doesn't think he will have the money to hire a lawyer by then.
He said he didn't want to shoot the film anymore and asked Stephen to find someone else. With Stephen's current fame, he could still find the position of assistant director.
As a result, Stephen told him seriously that Ming Yukang could not join any other crew except for making his own movie.
Ming Yukang smiled. Although Stephen had done him a favor, he also earned money and fame for him, although not a lot.
Therefore, Stephen is not important enough for Ming Yukang to repay him with his entire life.
How could Stephen tie him down? He was a freelance director and hadn't signed a contract to sell himself.
As a result, Stephen took out a contract, and Ming Yukang took a look at it and realized it was really a contract to sell himself!
A contract he signed when he was desperate, a contract that required him to work for Stephen for twenty years, and a contract that would prevent him from filming in Hollywood if he resigned!
Ming Yukang was very upset. He didn't read the contract carefully in order to seize the opportunity. He was so stupid!
And it turned out that Stephen, who he thought was stupid, had set a trap for him from the very beginning.
"Think about it, do you want to stay and continue filming for me, or give up your achievements here and leave America?"
Leaving means starting over again!
To this day, Ming Yukang still remembers the sarcastic look in Stephen's eyes when he said this. It was this look that stimulated him to leave without hesitation.
Stephen looked down on him, as he had always taken his position as the lead director for granted.
When Ming Yukang thought that he was at least Stephen's friend, he was told that he was just a tool and he had no right to have a relationship with his employer.
Ming Yu Kangdun finally understood Hollywood, so he chose to leave.
One is self-esteem, and the other is that he doesn't want to become a member of the Q-washing organization.
He wants to make money and become famous, but he doesn't want to risk his life to make money!
It happened that "RIGHTS" was a hit overseas at the time. He saw the rise of Chinese films and thought that returning to China might not be a bad thing.
So as soon as he returned to China, Ming Yukang directly rejected his friend's invitation to Lemon Film and Television and directly interviewed for Hello Film and Television.
Ming Yukang's friends warned him at the time that Hello Films had only been established for a short time and its position in the entertainment industry was not solid. The success of "RIGHTS" was due to its special effects, but recently a lot of money has been pouring into special effects production in various countries. Hello Films cannot continue to make money from this, and the audience will also get tired of it.
But Ming Yukang has been in Hollywood for many years and knows that the success of "RIGHTS" is not just due to the special effects, but the world background inside it.
He also watched "Interstellar Migration" and after watching it together with "RIGHTS", he thought it was a very complete world.
It has its own value system, and if you look closely you can see a complete humanistic and economic system from the clues. He even thought at one point that the Blue Planet would look like this in the future.
This is the intuition he formed as a director after studying countless classic films and television shows.
Whether it is "RIGHTS" or "Interstellar Migration", the details are very worthy of scrutiny, and their impact will definitely not just last for a few months!
So Ming Yukang was very curious about Su Jin herself, because she was the screenwriter. How could such a person come up with such a huge world background?
