Chapter 90
That night, Emma stayed in Christine's villa, and in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Zhen Fan chose to go home. Christine called his assistant Sibella to take Zhen Fan home.
That night, Zhen Fan asked Sibella to bring back the beauty and breast enhancement ointment that Emma needed, hand it over to Christine, and then hand it over to Emma.
Therefore, H. C. D's advertisement started shooting smoothly. The creative idea of the ad came entirely from Christine and Beetle, and Gary added some opinions from time to time, so the filming went smoothly. With an all-star lineup, a combination of great directors, great photographers, and ace producers, Christine just posted a set of photos of the shooting scene on her Facebook, which attracted huge attention.
The Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, The Boston Globe and many other influential newspapers gave headlines to the entertainment section. Of course, the hosts of the gossip news sections of various TV stations are also indispensable. As a result, many people's eyes shifted from the star lineup to the main body of the advertisement itself.
That is a kind of wine, a newly brewed wine, called H. C. D's fruit wine.
Sampson was overjoyed. When the news was overwhelming, he called Zhen Fan. Because he couldn't restrain his excitement, he stuttered, as if he had been raped.
"We're rich, Zhen!"
This was his first sentence. To be honest, it was very tacky, but Zhen Fan liked to hear it. Money, who doesn't like it?
"Zhen, I have a big plan!"
This is his second sentence.
"Tell me!"
Zhen Fan asked a question.
"I plan to put our advertisements on major TV stations in every state in the United States. In this way, our wine will become a famous wine and a dazzling star!"
It is conceivable how excited and spittled Sampson over there was.
"Advertising 200 bottles of wine every month across the United States?" Zhen Fan couldn't help moaning, "Either you are crazy, or I am crazy, my God!"
Zhen Fan's words made Sampson wake up.
Obviously Sampson estimated the situation too optimistically. But if such an all-star lineup is not fully utilized, it will be a waste.
"I don't care about this matter, you decide for yourself, whether you invest in the whole United States or in key cities, I just need to pay dividends!"
What Zhen Fan said made Sampson helpless. Yes, Zhen Fan has fulfilled his promise, invited an all-star lineup to shoot the commercial, and set off such a huge momentum. If he messed up, then It's just trash, maybe Zhen Fan will consider whether to terminate the cooperative relationship with him.
"Okay, I'll take care of everything, you count the bills at home!"
Sampson took a deep breath, and then ended the conversation with Zhen Fan in a satisfied manner. He was originally an ambitious person, and he was not lacking in brains. He knows what to do. It was really a little dizzy before. But... now it's better, everything is under control.
"Christine, what do you need me to do?" Zhen Fan rushed to the shooting location while getting off work early. Zhen Fan paid for the minimum props and venue expenses, but for the sake of the great director, the fee Not much, only 400,000 U.S. dollars was spent in four days, 100,000 U.S. dollars a day, including the purchased props.
Although the price was not high, it still made Zhen Fan sweat coldly on his forehead.
He almost gritted his teeth and took out the money. It's so heartbreaking. So he called Sampson immediately after paying the large sum of money.
"If...you waste my first big investment, you're dead!"
Sampson was a little speechless. He was already planning to invest tens of millions of dollars in advertising fees on the TV station. This guy actually gritted his teeth for a mere 400,000 dollars in venue fees. It was really hated.
And actually made a special call just for this. Sampson hung up the phone resentfully. Then he vented his anger on the company's sales staff.
As a result, the people in the company were distressed, and they saw Sampson dangling anxiously and roaring loudly all day long.
The $400,000 didn't make Zhen Fan bankrupt, but it also made him heartbroken for a long time, so he decided to come to the filming site to take a look, lest his investment be wasted by Bit.
It's not spending their own money, I don't know what it feels like to be distressed.
"Cut, rest for ten minutes, and then do this again!"
Bit yelled loudly, and then all the stars present stopped, ready to shoot again.
Zhen Fan's arrival made them very happy. Bit directly took a bottle of the high-quality fruit wine that Zhen Fan brought over, and Gary also took a bottle. He looked very gentle. He knew that Zhen Fan Therefore, in front of Zhen Fan, he is not as casual as Bit, and seems to have a more respectful attitude than Bit.
"Angelina!" The sexy Julie came over, smiled and shook hands with Zhen Fan.
"You can just call me Zhen! I like watching your movies very much. I grew up watching your movies..." Zhen Fan happily talked to Angelina. Julie speaks.
"Hey Zhen, come here! I want to talk to you!"
Christine hurried over and dragged Zhen Fan away, I really couldn't afford to lose that man!
"How could you say that in front of Julie?"
Zhen Fan was stunned.
"I grew up watching her movies..."
"Forget it, it doesn't make sense to you! Tell me, what are you doing here?"
Christine felt a fit of rage.
"Let me see my dollars!"
"Your dollars?"
"Yeah, for this scene, I spent 400,000 dollars. God, I never thought I would have such a big investment. It's... too extravagant!"
Zhen Fan looked at Bit.
"Just now I saw that the shooting was pretty good, especially when you raised your glass and said H.C.D is my favorite, I thought you were talking to me!" Zhen Fan said, "Why does this old man Can’t you save a little? Spend a little less. You know, I’m almost bankrupt because of this filming!”
Christine gritted her teeth loudly.
"Why did you behave like a gentleman before, and now you act like a crafty Jew?"
"No, no, Christine, this is your second racism, and I don't like you, well...I admit I've changed a bit, but...it's all because of you!"
"I?"
Christine stared at Zhen Fan.
"Yes, yes, it's because of you!" Zhen Fan nodded, and said solemnly, "Look, you are a big star in Hollywood, you have a very good income and live in a very nice villa, and what about me? I'm just a doctor, running a small clinic..."
"Zhen, it's disgusting for you to say this, do you care about this?"
Christine was really angry this time.
"Of course not, what I care about is how to save enough money, and then give you a grand wedding that the whole world envies. This is what I want to do, so from now on, every penny I earn, You have to save some money..."
Zhen Fan wrung his fingers and seemed to be calculating.
No one spoke. There was something wrong with the atmosphere, Zhen Fan raised his eyelids and looked at Christine who was opposite, the woman was obviously shocked by Zhen Fan's words, and stared at him stupidly.
"I'm sorry, Zhen, I wonder if I didn't understand?"
Christine suddenly stuttered.
"What?" Zhen Fan was stunned, and then replied subconsciously, "I just said that I must save every penny I earn. That's right!"
"No, it's not this, let's add another sentence."
Christine cut him off.
"So from now on..."
Zhen Fan really repeated the above sentence.
"Damn it, I said the sentence above, this one!" Christine was a little anxious.
"Well, what I care about is how to save enough money..."
"God, are you an idiot?" Kristen raged. "Do you think this will make you happy? Do you want me to marry you? I heard it, heard it very clearly!"
Why make yourself repeat it over and over again when you hear it clearly? Zhen Fan shrugged helplessly.
"Well, I know it might be embarrassing for you to say this, but... I'm your boyfriend, you admitted it in front of the reporters, and now the whole world knows I'm your boyfriend, so I just naturally I said... If there is a problem, I promise, this is the last time!"
Zhen Fan raised his hands in surrender.
"I hope you're joking!"
Christine took a deep breath, then glared at Zhen Fan, turned away and left Zhen Fan there, not bothering to look at him anymore.
"Okay, let's get started!" Bit clapped his hands.
Zhen Fan quietly walked to Bit's side.
"Bit, wasn't it good just now? Why do it again? What a waste of money!" Zhen Fan and Bit were not polite.
"God, are you a Martian?"
Bit took a look at Zhen Fan as if looking at a rare animal.
"What?"
Zhen Fan was taken aback by what he said.
"Now it's all shot with digital cameras, not the film era. You are really outdated, Zhen, I think you should just stay aside and don't say anything. I'm the director, okay?"
When it comes to filming, Bit does not allow others to challenge his authority, not even Zhen Fan.
"All right!"
Zhen Fan walked aside boredly, just as Angelina was also resting at the side, and she didn't have a part in the scene just now.
"Don't try to challenge the director's authority, even if it's a famous star, Zhen, pay attention!" Angelina kindly reminded him.
"Thank you, Julie!" Zhen Fan glanced at Angelina several times, then his eyes fell on Angelina's chest, and he frowned.
"What's the matter? Doctor!"
Angelina was a little annoyed by Zhen Fan's rude behavior, so she asked a question bluntly.
"You have breast cancer?" Zhen Fan unexpectedly became serious.
"Yes, it's not a secret. Have you watched the entertainment news?" Angelina looked at him playfully with a sarcastic smile on the corner of her mouth, this man who was said to be Christine's boyfriend.
"I never watch entertainment news, not even Kristen's!"
Zhen Fan suddenly took out a business card and gave it to her.
"It has my address and phone number on it. If you can, you can ask Christine how I cured Luke, the lighting engineer, from brain cancer!"
