Chapter 3 Time to Talk About Divorce
Chen Tian was shocked by his own idea, although he knew that there was never a shortage of low-cost or even ultra-low-cost film production in the world.
For example, the later 2009 thriller "The Sporty-Ghost Record" that shocked the world, only spent more than 10,000 US dollars to achieve a horror score of 107 million overseas in North America.
This film also successfully squeezed the pseudo-documentary pioneering film "Blair the Witch" from the top of the ROI list, becoming the highest ROI film in the history of more than a hundred years.
But even if you only spend more than 10,000 US dollars, it is much more than the one thousand US dollars that Chen Tian has now. Chen Tian deeply felt the trouble of having no money.
"Is there any lower one?" Chen Tian muttered softly, as he remembered that there were lower-cost videos.
At this moment, the vague memories in his mind suddenly became clear, and super low-cost independent films appeared in his mind.
Chen Tian was stunned by his own pride. He had always been proud of his outstanding memory, but even so, his mind had never been as clear as it was now.
The pictures in his mind are now extremely clear, just like what he just remembered.
A series of ultra-low-cost independent films appeared in my mind. Every film in my mind has received good reviews from later generations, and some even received high box offices. There are many of them he has watched by himself.
For example, the science fiction short film "Panishment!", which claimed to have only spent $300, has the final effect as good as some special-effect science fiction blockbusters that claimed to have spent tens of millions of dollars.
Chen Tian shook his head helplessly. He himself did not have such special effects technology. Without such technology, he would definitely not be able to do without tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
After scanning the ultra-low-cost videos in his mind, Chen Tian became more and more depressed, because no matter how low the cost was, it was higher than the one thousand dollars he had.
At this moment, he was like sitting in a treasure mountain, with everything in the entire treasure mountain, and he could only see but did not have the ability to transport these treasures back.
Shaking his head, the water drops slid from his chin and dripped onto the pool.
Chen Tian looked at himself frowning in the mirror: "Is this still the one who is confident that he will succeed through hard work?"
Chen Tian lowered his head and closed his eyes. The scenes before he came here appeared in his mind. The sound of water hitting the pool and flowing into the pipes.
"Chen Tian, didn't you also strive for your dreams before you traveled through time. Since God gave you such a good opportunity, why not seize it? This is already a gift from God to you."
Chen Tian raised his head and stared at himself in the mirror tightly. His whole body was completely different from the helpless depression just now.
"Since you have come here, move forward bravely. No money is the most terrible thing. Give up is the most terrible thing. You have never given up on your hard work in the past. At worst, you can keep working hard now. If you are still strong in your life, you will have a future."
Before he traveled here, Chen Tian dreamed of being a director, but he knew that it was almost impossible to get another company to invest in him at the beginning, so he, like everyone who was almost like him, focused his attention on independent producers.
So Chen Tian is more familiar with this. He knows that most independent films are recognized by major companies by participating in some film festivals by winning awards or screenings at film festivals, and then sell the film to companies that are capable of marketing and release the film.
The most famous film festival of this kind is the world's leading St. Denis Film Festival. This film festival is a film festival specially designed for unfamous filmmakers and films.
Now it has become an important spiritual pillar of the independent production industry in the United States and even the world. Many new Hollywood directors regard it as a springboard for directing mainstream commercial blockbusters.
When Hollywood big production companies are looking for rookies, then the Sundance Film Festival is a human resource library that cannot be missed.
Most independent producers like "The Legend of Ghosts" went out of the St. Denis Film Festival, which impressed the masters and created a box office miracle.
Before traveling here, Chen Tian hoped that after the time was ripe, he would shoot an independent film himself, and then take the first step to realize his dream through the St. Denis Film Festival.
"At worst, I can write the script first." Chen Tian thought that his time traveled fourteen years ago means that many things have not happened in fourteen years, and many videos have not been filmed yet.
Before traveling through time, he was a person who devoted himself to the film career. He was not clear about things like stock trading, but he was very clear about things about movies.
Write a big-selling movie script that has not been compiled yet, and then sell the script to get the first pot of gold through this and then shoot your own movie.
At this moment, the sound of the doorbell came, disrupting Chen Tian's thoughts.
"Who is here?" Chen Tian couldn't help but guess, "Will this crazy woman really call the police?"
Chen Tian couldn't help but worry, although this was a country known as a democracy.
But he is a poor student who is not rich or powerful, but he is a rising Hollywood superstar. Chen Tian can imagine who is inferior to who is superior.
"Here, here!" Scarlett's answer came from outside the door, and then the sound of Scarlett's footsteps wearing slippers was heard.
Bar!
As soon as the sound of the door being opened came, a voice of a man rang out: "What the hell is going on? I was completely confused by your text message. How could you get married? Are you sure this is not an April Fool's Day joke?"
"Rosy, this is true, not a joke. I was in big trouble, but now you give me the clothes first." Scarlett felt relieved when he saw his agent Rosy Andrea coming.
What she wants to do most now is to take a shower and change into clean clothes, but Chen Tian was in the bathroom and she could only give up the idea of taking a shower now.
Rosie handed over the bag of clothes in her hand, and frowned when she saw the clothes scattered around the floor: "Where is that damn man? Have you escaped?"
Before Scarlett could speak, Rosie walked to the side of the camp: "I told you many times that getting married is not a joke. You are in the rising period of your career. You tell me everything one by one, don't miss it, and then I will find a way."
Chen Tian in the bathroom was so angry that he heard the sound outside.
"Rossi, he didn't run away. In the bathroom, he asked me to dress and talk about divorce, but I kept waiting for you, and he was waiting inside."
"Get dressed?" Rosie looked at Scarlett with disbelief.
Although she didn't know much before coming, she had already set a conclusion for Chen Tian.
That is, Chen Tian is an inglorious bastard who deceives women with alcohol, and this is how Scarlett was deceived.
Moreover, the scene in her mind was that Chen Tian was trying to use a marriage certificate that was born without any clarity. She was mentally prepared to be blackmailed or even call the police if Chen Tian opened his mouth.
"I've changed my clothes, you can come out." Scarlett tidied up her clothes, then picked up the marriage certificate and handed it to Rosie, and Chen Tian also walked out of the bathroom.
Chen Tianchong looked at his middle-aged woman coldly and shrugged, "It's time to talk about divorce."
