Walking out of the office area of ​​the "Pianist" crew, Lehman looked up at the sunny sky in Cannes, but he didn't know where his way out was.

He really underestimated the many obstacles of this industry for novices. Even if he told those people that he had rich experience in his career and directed a feature film, he still couldn't get a pretty generous salary. If he just became an intern, he really had to make a living by selling cheap labor. With that little money, what could he do? Will he continue to have a free bread and boiled water? He has lived enough of that kind of life, and he doesn't want to be in such a down-and-out way.

I also looked for opportunities from the newspaper recruitment information I copied before, but I still had no guarantees and could not see the job and salary for my future development, which made Lehman very depressed.

He had a lot of ambitions but couldn't get the opportunity to show it. The real film industry kept him firmly outside.

This is a circle that emphasizes connections, qualifications and successful experience. Unfortunately, the ex left him with nothing, which is the most deceptive thing.

Standing on the streets of a crowded town, an extremely crazy idea suddenly appeared in Lehman's mind.

He wants to cheat investment, no matter who it belongs to or whether he can be deceived or not. In short, he wants to try it.

Instead of waiting for others to give alms, it is better to take the risk to fool the fat sheep.

Even if you are found out and arrested and went to jail, it would be better than being passive now.

Opportunities are created and strived for by people. If you don’t try it, you can know whether you can succeed.

Lehman, who made up his mind, did not plan to move forward according to his previous plan. It was the world and God who forced him to do it. His smooth life was ruined. What burden would it be for him to be a liar?

When I took a taxi back home, I changed into a suit that looked the most stable, and shaved off the parts that had not been repaired in the past few days, which had been messy and had grown in the muddy beard. Looking at the mature style presented in the mirror, Lehman went out with all the prepared documents.

This includes his college diploma, a script created by his ex, and Miramax's distribution contract.

He is ready for everything that can be used, it depends on whether there is a fat sheep willing to fund him.

As for finding his father who had never met yet, or his friend Ryan, he didn't consider the candidates for Lehman. He cheated people, just to cheat strangers, acquaintances, etc., and his face was not allowed to do anything.

................

In a relatively famous studio in Cannes, Lehman successfully sneaked into a crew of crew members with his calm temperament and avoided the inspection of the security guard at the door.

This is used to shoot interior scenes specifically, and many post-production work of the film is also carried out here, with crew members and investors coming and going.

Just like "The Pianist", which attracted the attention of the French film industry, some of the filming work will also be carried out here.

When passing by the crew with the nameplate of "Pianist", Lehman subconsciously stopped and watched for a while. The staff inside were communicating and coordinating something. He still had some ideas about this matter, but he had already made another choice after all, right?

It is certainly good to be able to improve the industry qualifications smoothly and obtain opportunities, but who is willing to take risks to cheat investment?

Continue to move, Lehman walks towards the parking lot.

Investment also emphasizes a technical job, especially if the funds involve hundreds of thousands of yuan, which tests a person's persuasion ability even more. After all, people need to invest money in a project with illusory profit prospects. If you don't have some eloquence, you really can't afford this job.

There are numerous luxury cars parked in the parking lot.

Rolls-Royce, Maybach, Porsche, Bentley...

Lehmann's eyes kept searching for prey, and finally placed his sight on a silver-gray Cadillac.

The owner of the car is a man wearing glasses, about thirty-five years old.

Such people also mean financial independence. Those who can drive the Escalade automatic must have a good fortune and will have the idea of ​​investing in profits.

He acted immediately after seeing it. Lehman sorted out his clothes and headed towards the target person without saying a word.

The weather in June is a bit hot, which makes people feel bored unconsciously.

Anyway, Lehman felt this at this time. He thought that he had lived for twenty-seven years in his previous life and had never done such a thing. He had only heard of it. Seeing that others had done it, he was a little nervous inside.

The palms of my palms began to sweat, and the business document bag I was holding felt like I was about to loosen.

Finally he came to the car owner.

Lehman adjusted his breathing and said in a deep voice: "Hello, sir, can you waste your time? There is a very promising film project right in front of you, maybe you can listen."

Christopher Lambert looked at the young man who suddenly appeared in front of him in a little surprised. What did he say just now? He was thinking about things in the car, but he didn't listen carefully.

"Is there anything you have to do?"

"I am a director. I directed a feature film and was taken to Hollywood for release by Miramax Film. Recently, I thought of a good story. I wanted to shoot it, but due to the shortage of funds, I need some investment. Do you dare to be interested?" Lehman quickly introduced his situation and continued: "If you don't believe it, I also brought my university diploma, the movie distribution contract, and the script of the new project. You can check it out."

Christopher Lambert subconsciously took the various documents handed over by the man who claimed to be a director in front of him.

"Wait, you want me to invest in your new movie, right?"

"It can be said that this is a very profitable project, we..." Lehman was about to talk about Balabara for another time, but Christopher Lambert interrupted him, "Get in the car first, it's not appropriate to talk about it here, go to the cafe and talk again."

When Lehman heard that he had the chance, he immediately sat in the back seat of Cadillac.

The road was driving smoothly, and soon the two of them arrived at a cafe called "Lucky Time".

After Christopher Lambert asked Lehman about his opinion, he ordered a cup of Blue Mountain for him and a cup of Catim himself.

Taking advantage of the space that the waiter had not delivered, he quickly flipped the movie script that Lehman handed him.

As a person who is ambitious to invest in the film industry, he went to the studio today for investment, so someone came over to tell him that he wanted to examine the projects with profit prospects, and the face of this person also made him feel familiar.

After roughly understanding what the script wants to tell, Christopher Lambert looked at Lehman and asked: "Maybe, you can tell me where the profit prospects of this film project are?"

"This is a movie about women's views on love. With the cheating of a married woman as the selling point, it must have great market potential. Many movies focusing on similar themes have achieved very good results." Lehmann almost said that he followed the trend and filmed it.

Fortunately, Christopher Lambert knew what Lyman wanted to express, and he continued to ask: "Where is the investment? How much investment is missing?"

"We have raised 200,000 euros, and there is still 300,000 euros left." Lehmann didn't even blink when he lied. He sounded like that, but in fact he didn't even have more than 2,000 euros. Apart from the expenses in the past two days, he only had 1,762 euros.

"What about the revenue share? How should we make a profit after the film is released?"

"Don't worry about this. My studio has a very close relationship with Hollywood publisher Miramax Pictures. They will help me run my first work. I naturally don't have to worry about entering the theater for the second part. They will definitely be represented again. I have a good relationship with them." Lehman once again emphasized the topic of good relationships, which is a matter of no factual basis.

Anyway, even the money for the movie was not raised, so he was considering the release. Lehman was not worried about the subsequent operational issues. The movie had not come out, so what's the use of thinking too much? There must be a way before the car arrived at the mountain. This sentence from his ancestor has always been regarded as the truth by him.

After a while, the waiter brought two cups of coffee.

The two of them started chatting about the movie project while drinking coffee.

Christopher Lambert is asking most of the time, and Lehman is responsible for answering his doubts.

For a potential wealthy sheep, Lehman was full of energy and showed no signs of impatientness.

In this process, Christopher Lambert is becoming more and more optimistic about the project's prospects. After all, the theory that Lehman said, "I have a good relationship with Miramax Pictures" is really touching.

Why was the movie filmed? Isn't it just for profit? Among them, how many finished movies are not even qualified to enter theaters, and they are quickly pushed into the offline DVD and video tape market. As for Lehman, he has a good deal with a Hollywood publisher and can run the movies to be released in North America. This undoubtedly makes him full of confidence in the project prospects.

The only thing that makes people uncertain is whether this is true or false. If Lehmann did not lie to him, it would be impossible to invest 300,000 euros. Christopher Lambert thought of this and asked again: "How can I share the remaining amount of funds after I invested the project?"

"Our team is responsible for shooting and production to give you 40% of the profits of the producer, and we should also get a profit."

This made him feel that the project was more credible. Although he paid a lot of money, he did not get a 60% investment income. Instead, he needed to divide part of his profits to the production team. This is the division method within the industry's operating rules. Those who say that the profits are all attributed to him are obviously liars.

"I don't know what your name is yet?"

"Lyman Latters."
