"Tiger, how are you? Has the investment been secured?" As soon as they returned to the school dormitory, Chen Chong and Li Xia couldn't wait to ask. Wan Xiaohu fell down on the bed, covered his face with the quilt, and said nothing. "What's wrong? Is it not going well?" Chen Chong pulled away the quilt and asked. Wan Xiaohu looked at the two people and said depressedly: "It's not that it didn't go well, but it went very badly. I've been to all the big and small film and television companies in the capital, and I'm too tired of everything. It's not that I'm young and inexperienced, but it's the script. There is no market, or they are trying to persuade me not to be too ambitious. I thought about it and went to find the big sponsor, but, haha, he asked me to pimp him!" Wan Xiaohu sat up from the bed and asked, pointing to his chest. People: "Do you think I, Wan Xiaohu, am this kind of person? Would I sell my dignity and personality for a movie?" "Quite similar." Li Xia muttered. "You're looking for death!" Wan Xiaohu raised his middle finger fiercely. Chen Chong sat down and asked: "What should we do now? The movie has just been given up?" "Impossible!" Wan Xiaohu said firmly, "Don't worry about money. I will solve it. On the way back, I did the math. As for the actors and staff on the crew, we all use our own classmates, who take care of food and drink but don¡¯t care about their salary. If they want to come, I will give them a big red envelope and give them props and other simple things. Everyone can wear their own clothes, and the rest of the shooting equipment, cars, and venues can be rented. If we save only 500,000 yuan, we can complete the movie! Less." "You think I, Wan Xiaohu, can't even get 500,000?" "It's possible." "Where are you going to invest?" Wan Xiaohu thought for a while and said, "I'll go there. The merchant asked about the situation. There are many shops around here that like to sponsor college students' activities. We make movies and have more influence than their sponsored activities. Isn't that true? So I shamelessly went home and asked my parents for it. , Although the family has little money, the house is used as a mortgage, and the loan can still be obtained from the bank. " Chen Chong shook his head: "Tiger, listen to me, let's try to find a way to make a movie now, if we lose it, is it possible? Your parents are living on the streets." "That's right." Wan Xiaohu nodded, "Okay, life is a constant battle. Let's go to the cafeteria to eat. After dinner, I will continue to attract investment. I don't believe this world. There is no one with vision in the world! "" Wan Xiaohu is actually not good at soliciting sponsorship. In his previous career, when he was in college, he was extremely arrogant and never wanted to beg for help. It wasn't until later that I started directing commercials or music videos that I learned how to let go of my figure and cater to others. But now, he has gained fourteen years of self-confidence and no longer feels embarrassed about soliciting sponsorship. This is a part of struggle and a process of success. There are many stores around Nortel, all of which are potential sponsors for Wan Xiaohu. However, this sponsorship cannot be done randomly. After all, no store owner is simple-minded, and everyone hopes that their store or product will appear in the movie. How to measure the combination of products and movies is something worth noting. Wan Xiaohu first went to several large shopping malls, because several scenes of the movie "Waiting Alone" were shot in shopping malls. But it is a pity that the advertising awareness of several shopping malls is not very strong, and there is a lack of interest in sponsoring "Waiting Alone". The mall was not interested, so Wan Xiaohu went to several beverage manufacturers, such as Coca-Cola, Wahaha, etc. Beverage companies such as Coca-Cola and Wahaha have always liked to place their advertisements in movies. It's just that "Waiting Alone" has too little appeal to them. "I'm sorry, I don't see the commercial value of the movie "Waiting Alone". Firstly, it doesn't invite stars, and secondly, it adopts the independent film model. I'm sorry, but it is difficult for us to choose to sponsor such a movie." Coca-Cola Company Beijing Sales A person in charge of the department refused directly. For several days, Wan Xiaohu was busy with this matter. But the harvest was not satisfactory. As of March 8, he has only received sponsorship intentions of less than 150,000 yuan, one of which is 50,000 yuan sponsored by "Agni Clothing" company, with the requirement that their clothes will be exclusively provided by Agni Clothing. One is Xiali Automobile Company. This automobile company is willing to provide a sponsorship of 70,000 yuan and support two Xiali cars for the crew to shoot. The last one is the Left Bank Coffee Shop in front of the Nortel campus. They only provided a sponsorship of 30,000 yuan and required no less than 5 seconds in the film.The close-up of Zhong's shop name and the shot of the hero and heroine drinking coffee in the coffee shop must be completed in their shop. Finally, the owner of the coffee shop must be given a handsome close-up. What can Wan Xiaohu say? No matter how small the meat on the mosquito¡¯s legs is, it¡¯s still meat! "Am I filming a movie, or am I selling at a roadside stall?" Wan Xiaohu felt extremely aggrieved. He was a reborn person, but he was so embarrassed by a small amount of money. It was embarrassing, "No, I should run for sponsorship. I've run away, but the money still hasn't arrived, so I have to think about it differently. "Writing songs? Writing scripts? Selling them? It doesn't seem like a good idea to write a song now. It only costs three to five hundred yuan, and someone has to be willing to buy it. How can I get so many good scripts? I haven't even finished a "Waiting Alone" yet. Besides, I still have to keep good scripts for myself. "Selling creativity? Tell Penguin, New Wolf, and Sohu to develop scarves and games? Come on, not many people have seen computers in the future." Is there anyone playing the game? Does the computer support it? " "This doesn't work, that doesn't work either. How could I, a reborn person, fail like this?" Wan Xiaohu felt a sense of self-pity as he walked on the road. He looked up at the shop on the roadside. The name of the shop was "Dandelion Souvenir Shop". It looked quite large. Thinking that this shop name could be embedded in the movie without spoiling the plot, Wan Xiaohu put away his grievances and pushed the door open. . There were many people shopping for souvenirs in the store. When they walked to the cashier, there was a female cashier who looked like a student. Wan Xiaohu put on a smiling face: "Are you the person in charge of this store?" "No, what do you want from our boss?" "Actually, I am a director, and I am currently studying directing at Nortel. I have a film crew that is looking for sponsorship. I want to know if your Dandelion Souvenir Shop has any plans to sponsor our movie? " "Well, I have to ask our boss. Wait a minute, I'll give the boss a call." Wan Xiaohu was admiring the various souvenirs while waiting for the cashier to call. After a while, the cashier hung up the phone and said: "Our boss is very interested in sponsorship, but she doesn't have time now. She will rush over at 11:30 noon. I wonder if you can wait a moment?" " Of course, then I¡¯ll just hang around here?¡± ¡°Okay, by the way, can you tell me, what kind of movie are you shooting?¡± There were chairs in front of the counter, so Wan Xiaohu sat down and started chatting: ¡°Our movie, It's called "Waiting Alone," and it tells the story of the love life and ideal pursuit of urban young men and women. It's a style somewhere between drama and comedy. Let me tell you a rough story. " "Okay, okay."
