Chapter 3353: Ambitious

“When did you become so hesitant? What can’t you say?”

“Yeah.” Lu Man reminded, “You shouldn’t forget that my dad is here. He can make all the soundtracks for your movie.”

“Eh?” Han Zhuofeng didn’t think about this.

He had only realized this good news when Lu Man reminded him.

He would be able to save the money he would have had to spend on hiring someone to do the music arrangement for the movie!

Even if he tried, he would not be able to find someone at the level of Wang Juhuai.

And now, he would obviously be able to get a discount from Wang Juhuai!

Previously, Han Zhuofeng was feeling troubled. He wanted to find an actor or actress who could boost box office earnings, but he didn’t have enough money to afford such an actor or actress at that level.

There had to be someone whom the audience would perceive as a grandiose existence, right?

Han Zhuofeng thought that Wang Juhuai would be this grandiose presence.

When they started promoting this movie and when they showed the list of movie credits…

When people saw that Wang Juhuai was the one who had composed the music…

Just the thought of it made Han Zhuofeng feel emotional.

He wanted to laugh out loud.

So, Han Zhuofeng stopped keeping everything a secret.

He then very honestly told them the things that he had been busy doing.

“That’s a surprise.” Lin Liye was really surprised, “I didn’t expect you to be busy with that.”

Her son was very ambitious!

“I started investing in it when I had the idea. But then, as I started investing more into it, it grew into something I couldn’t bear. However, it had already started. If I abandoned it halfway, everything I had invested would go to waste. Thankfully, Eldest Brother and Second Elder Brother found out about it and gave me money.”

“Son, I can’t believe you kept this a secret.” Lin Liye said.

No matter how much she had to invest, she would do it to support her son’s dream.

Lin Liye then asked Han Zhuoling and Han Zhuoli, “How much did you two invest?

Han Zhuoling said, “Zhuofeng was scared that it would be difficult for us to explain to the board of trustees if we were to use the company’s money to invest and if the film’s gross revenue turned out bad.”

“Therefore, each of us personally gave him fifty million. However, I am guessing that this amount of money would only be enough for the beginning stage of preparation for the movie, such as the filming equipment. Filming equipment and tools that can produce high-quality films are very expensive.”

“This is a story with a futuristic theme. The things in the future cannot be achieved by technology today. You can only use your imagination to make a futuristic design. This meant that there will be a lot of testing and adjustments.”

“With all these things combined, the money will be used up before you even realized it,” Han Zhuoling said, “It is because we do not have the experience. Things would have been better if we had experience.”

“That is true. I have seen that video explaining the CGI sci-fi movie made by Hollywood. It’s that crystal dog. They first made a model that is the exact replica of what you see in the movie.” Shen Nuo nodded and said, “If you want the movie to be good, you must have such creativity.”

“Zhuofeng will be the first to eat the crab this time. That is good.” Old Mr. Han said.

Shen Nuo then said, “My family will invest 50 million. You can tell us when you need more.”

Lin Liye said, “We will give 50 million as well, but you have to be frugal. Don’t waste money trying different things because you think you have a lot of money now. Even if you have not raised a lot more money, you have to be frugal.”

“Definitely!” Han Zhuofeng immediately nodded.

Old Mr. Han added, “Let’s all invest the same amount. We will give 50 million as well.”

Han Zhuofeng didn’t expect to get 250 million within a night.

This amount of money couldn’t be compared to the funding for movies made in foreign countries. If you converted the currency, those films would have funding of over billions.

However, compared to the funding for the films in this country… You didn’t even have to check the actual production cost for those big commercial movies in the country…

In comparison to the production budget publicly announced by the film crew of those movies, Han Zhuofeng’s production budget would rank within the top five of the most expensive movies.

Of course, the money he hadn’t spent yet wouldn’t count.

“Be frugal. I think this amount is enough for me to finish the film.” Han Zhuofeng said.

Of course, if he were to blindly test things out like he had enough money, he would definitely run out of money.

But since this was his first film, Han Zhuofeng still had to save as much money as he could.

“You should save money, but you shouldn’t sacrifice filming a perfect scene because you wanted to save money. Come find us if you do need money,” Old Mr. Han said.

“Alright.” Han Zhuofeng nodded emotionally.

Before Han Zhuofeng could even ask, Lu Man said, “Dad, if the movie needs soundtracks…”

Wang Juhuai could clearly tell that his daughter was going to give him away…

Immediately, he smiled and said, “Sure. You can count on me for the soundtracks.”

“Uncle, thank you!” Han Zhuofeng quickly said, “Then… can you give me a discount?”

“I will do it for free,” Wang Juhuai said.

“No.” Old Mrs. Han immediately interrupted, “You can support him, but we cannot let anyone on our side lose out on profits. You can give him a discount, but you can’t do it for free.”

“Sure.” Wang Juhuai nodded and said, “Then I will do it based on the discount my daughter gives you. I will give you the same discount my daughter will give you.”

Old Mrs. Han smiled and nodded. “That is good. That is good.”

Previously, Zhuofeng was worried about funding. He couldn’t sleep at night and felt like there was no way out.

He was really scared that he would have no money at all, even though he still hadn’t started filming.

Clearly, it was better to talk to family members about your issues.

His family was so supportive today.

Han Zhuofeng immediately felt really confident.

No matter how hard it would be, he would no longer fret and would no longer be afraid.

Han Zhuofeng’s preparation for his film created many topics of conversation for everyone.

Everyone in the family knew about it now.

Han Zhuofeng had nothing to hide.

He told them about the struggles he was currently facing.

There were mainly some issues with the design.

“Because this is a futuristic theme, the spaceship can’t be like the current ones. It has to look futuristic. However, it can’t be based entirely on imagination. You can’t ignore reality completely. This is why it is difficult.”

“As for the jump through different dimensions, the CGI is not too complicated. There are references we can use when the spaceship jumps to another dimension. However, we will need to consult an expert on the knowledge of dimensions.”

The group all started giving suggestions and advice as they listened to Han Zhuofeng talk about these things.

Han Zhuofeng then noted all of them down.

Soon, it was past 12.

Lin Liye and Shen Nuo went to cook the dumplings.

Xia Qingwei helped.

And then, they served the dumplings.

Lin Liye brought the last plate of dumplings out and said with a smile, “We mixed up everything. The ones that Lu Man wrapped are all mixed up in the pot.”

“And so, it’s all about luck now!” Lin Liye said, “Who will be the lucky one to eat the dumplings wrapped by Lu Man?”
