"Tiger, how about it? Has the investment been brought to you?"

As soon as they returned to the school dormitory, Chen Chong and Li Xia couldn't wait to ask. Wan Xiaohu fell on the bed, covered his face with a quilt, and said nothing.

"What's wrong? Is it not going well?" Chen Chong pulled the quilt open and asked.

Wan Xiaohu looked at the two people and said depressedly: "It's not that it's not that it's not that it's not that it's very unsuccessful. I have been through all the film and television companies in Beijing, and I'm not that I'm young and inexperienced, or that the scripts have no market, or that I'm just advising me not to be ambitious. I thought about it and went to find a big financial backer, but hehe, I actually asked me to pimp him!"

Sitting up from the bed, Wan Xiaohu pointed at his chest and asked the two of them: "Do you think I, Wan Xiaohu, are such a person? Will I betray my dignity and personality for a movie?"

"It looks quite like." Li Xia muttered.

"You kid are looking for death!" Wan Xiaohu raised his middle finger fiercely.

Chen Chong sat down and asked, "What should I do now? Is the movie giving up like this?"

"Impossible!" Wan Xiaohu said confidently, "Don't worry about money, I will solve it. On the way back, I calculated that the actors and staff of the crew will use our classmates, who are responsible for food and drink, but regardless of salary. If you are willing to come, come over. When the movie makes money, I will give them a big red envelope. Props and other items are simple. Everyone can wear their own clothes and go to the battlefield. The remaining shooting equipment, cars and venues can be rented. Calculate that, if you save one, 500,000, we can get the movie done!"

"Five hundred thousand is not much."

"Do you think I, Wan Xiaohu, can't even handle 500,000?"

“It’s possible.”

"Get out!"

"Where are you going to invest?"

Wan Xiaohu thought for a while and said, "I went to various businesses to ask about the situation. There are not many stores around here. Do you like to sponsor college students' activities? We make movies and have a much greater influence than their sponsoring activities. Is it true? I was so shameless and went home and asked my parents for it. Although my family didn't have much money and the house was used as collateral, I could still borrow some money from the bank."

Chen Chong shook his head: "Tiger, listen to me, let's try to find a way for us to do movies now. If you lose money, will your parents be wandering on the streets?"

"That's right." Wan Xiaohu nodded, "Okay, life is not over, fight, go to the cafeteria for dinner. After dinner, I will continue to invest. I won't believe it. There is no one in this world with vision!"

...

Wan Xiaohu is actually not good at attracting sponsorship. In the previous trajectory, when he was in college, he was extremely arrogant and never wanted to ask for help in a humble manner. It was not until later that he started to direct advertisements or MVs that he learned how to put down his figure and cater to others.

Now, he has more confidence for fourteen years and no longer feels how embarrassing it is to attract sponsorship.

This is a part of struggle and a process of success.

There are many stores around Nortel, which are potential sponsors for Wan Xiaohu. However, this sponsor cannot be randomly recruited. After all, no one who opens a store is simple and wants his own store or products to appear in the movie. How to measure the combination of products and movies is a noteworthy thing.

Wan Xiaohu went to several large shopping malls first, because the movie "Waiting Alone" had several scenes filmed in the mall.

Unfortunately, the advertising awareness of several shopping malls is not very strong and they lack interest in sponsoring "Waiting Alone".

The mall was not interested, and Wan Xiaohu went to several beverage manufacturers, such as Coca-Cola, Wahaha, etc. Coca-Cola and Wahaha, and always liked to implant their advertisements in movies. However, "Waiting Alone" is too attractive to them.

"Sorry, I can't see the commercial value of the movie "Waiting Alone". I don't invite stars, and then go to the independent movie mode. I'm very embarrassed. It's hard for us to choose sponsorship for such a movie." A person in charge of the Beijing Sales Department of Coca-Cola Company directly refused.

For several consecutive days, Wan Xiaohu was running around in this matter.

But the harvest is not satisfactory.

As of March 8, he only received a sponsorship intention of less than 150,000 yuan. One was the sponsored 50,000 yuan by the company "Agni Clothing". With the request, their clothes will be exclusively provided by Agni Clothing. The other was Xiali Automobile Company, which was willing to provide sponsorship of 70,000 yuan and support two Xiali cars for filming for the crew.

The last one is the Left Bank Coffee Shop at the gate of Beijing Electric School. They only provide sponsorship of 30,000 yuan, and require that there be close-ups of the shop name in the movie for no less than 5 seconds. The scenes of the male and female protagonists drinking coffee in the coffee shop must be completed in their store. In the end, the owner of the coffee shop has to 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 shooting a movie or selling at a roadside stall?" Wan Xiaohu felt very frustrated. The reborn person was so reborn that he was so embarrassed that he was so embarrassed that he was so proud of his money. "No, I've run away all the sponsorships that should be run away, but the money still hasn't been done. I have to change my thinking. Well, I think about it."

"Writing songs? Writing scripts? Selling? It seems that it is not a good idea. Now a newcomer writes songs at most only three to five hundred yuan per song, and someone has to buy them. When I write scripts, how can I get so many good scripts? A book "Waiting Alone" has not been perfected yet. Besides, I have to keep a good script for myself!"

"Selling creativity? Tell Penguin Company, Xinlang Company, Sohu Company, to develop scarves and develop games? Come on, in 2000, not many people have seen computers, to develop hot scarves in the future, games, is there anyone playing them, and does the computer support them?"

"...This is not possible, that is not possible. Why did I, a reborn person, fail like this?"

Wan Xiaohu was walking on the main road, feeling awkward and self-pitying.

Looking up at the shop on the roadside, the name of the shop is "Dandelion Souvenir Store". It looks quite large. Thinking that the name of the shop can be implanted in the movie without destroying the plot, Wan Xiaohu put away his frustration and pushed the door in.

Many people in the store were shopping for souvenirs and walked to the cashier. They were a female cashier who looked like a student. Wan Xiaohu changed into a smile: "Are you the person in charge of this store?"

"No, what's the matter with us boss?"

"Actually, I am a director and currently studying in the directorship department at Nortel. I have a crew and am looking for sponsorship. I want to know if you Dandelion Souvenir Store have any plans to sponsor our movie?"

"This, I have to ask our boss, wait a moment, I'll call the boss."

Wan Xiaohu was enjoying all kinds of 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 come here at 11:30 noon. I wonder if you can wait a moment?"

"Of course, then I'll just go around here?"

"Okay, by the way, can you tell me what movies are you making?"

There was a chair in front of the counter, and Wan Xiaohu sat down and opened the conversation: "Our movie is called "Waiting Alone", which tells the love life and ideal pursuit of urban young men and women, a style between plot and comedy. I will tell you a rough story, right?"
