Chapter 1838 Looking down

Little Grove turned his head and said, "If it doesn't work, forget it."

"Tell me first, what do you want ten million dollars for? Do you owe money?"

Chen Zhao can afford ten million US dollars, and Little Grove's performance in the past six months has been very good.

So if he really needs it, Chen Zhao is willing to lend him money.

"It's not me who wants it, it's my dad who needs it." Little Grove said: "My dad invested in a movie, but now the capital chain is broken. If my dad can't come up with follow-up funds, the project will probably be gone. It's going to hit your hand."

"This is a check for ten million US dollars." Chen Zhao took out the consultation fee that Ellie Rodriguez Alexander gave him today.

A total of ten million US dollars, Little Grove was stunned.

The money was right in front of him now.

Instead, he didn't dare to reach out and pick it up.

"Teacher...this..."

"You have to pay it back," Chen Zhao said.

"Forehead……"

While Little Grove was still in a daze, Chen Zhao thrust the check into his hand.

"Can you treat our whole family to dinner now?"

"Teacher...I don't have a penny in my hand...except this check."

"Forget it, let me ask you, that's all."

After calling the children who were still wandering around the school, Chen Zhao and his family went out to eat with Little Grove.

Although Little Grove received 10 million US dollars loaned to him by Chen Zhao.

But he still looked worried.

There was still a dull and preoccupied look at the dinner table.

"Groff, don't you have enough money?"

"That's enough, teacher."

"If it's not enough, just say so."

"No..." Little Grove shook his head, his face full of worries. After sighing, he said: "This is my dad's project. I really don't have much confidence."

"Are you so unfavorable to your father's movie project?"

"Hey... Dad is too radical this time. Although he is very famous in Hollywood, in recent years, he has never had any memorable works, and none of his works have performed well at the box office, so Dad Dad has become very impatient, and he is eager to prove himself in this project, so I am worried that he will fail in this project.”

"Didn't you persuade him?"

"How could he listen to me?" Little Grove smiled bitterly and shook his head: "In his eyes, I am still the kid who asks him for money every day."

"Aren't you?" Chen Zhao exposed Little Grove's true nature without mercy.

"Teacher...I have restrained myself a lot this year, okay?"

"Is your father's project an independent film?"

"Yes, he plays the leading role himself. It is said that after watching Mr. Steven's last two movies, he received a script that would not only be successful at the box office, but also win an Oscar." Lit. Luo Fu said helplessly: "Anyway, it is a very ambitious work."

"Okay, I'll let you handle the adult matters. Since your father chose this film project, he must have his own considerations. After all, he is more professional than you."

Chen Zhao's words could only comfort Little Grove.

After all, Chen Zhao has also been exposed to the film industry.

Somewhat know the inside story of some movies.

No company, no project can guarantee the success of a movie.

Even Steven, the outside world calls him the king of box office and the king of directors.

But he also walks on thin ice in every movie.

Even he wasn't sure, let alone others.

The failure of a movie has many, many factors.

Even the most successful movies in history.

If it were filmed by another director, it might not be successful.

However, movies that failed at the box office all have one thing in common: they are ugly.

The public doesn’t like it, and independent films have this problem to a large extent.

A movie whose plot is unfriendly to the general audience is bound to fail at the box office.

So sometimes, professionalism may not be more accurate than the average audience's vision.

It's like the movie "Cloud Atlas" a few years ago.

That movie was made by the Wachowski siblings, the directors of "The Matrix", and is known as the Wachowski siblings' most ambitious work.

As a result, the box office suffered serious losses.

The plot is very obscure and ordinary viewers cannot understand it at all.

So failure is natural.

…

"Grove, where have you been?" Zhuoer Grove sat in the living room, his face full of dissatisfaction: "You are not young anymore. You should learn to be independent, instead of going out and having fun every day. .”

"I've been at school all day today." Little Grove retorted, "Please don't vent your unhappiness at work on me."

"I am your father." Zhuoer Grove's voice suddenly rose.

Things have indeed been going wrong for him recently, and he has hit a wall in every investment he made.

This made his heart even more depressed and had no place to vent an unknown fire.

Little Grove took out the check: "This is ten million dollars."

Zhull Grove was stunned for a moment, then took the check and looked at it.

"Where did you come from?"

"Borrowed." Little Grove replied.

"Borrowed it? Where did you get it? Did you find a loan shark?"

"No, no, I borrowed it from a friend. You don't have to worry about the interest. You only need to pay back the bank interest when you pay it back."

"Show me the loan contract." Zhuoer Grove said solemnly.

If he didn't know the source of this check, he wouldn't dare use it.

Even Little Grove said it very clearly.

He was still worried that Little Grove would be deceived.

Some loans may appear to be fine on the surface, but actually hide deep traps.

"There is no loan contract." Little Grove said: "The relationship between me and him does not require any loan contract."

"How is it possible? If there is no loan contract, how can your friend ensure that you repay the loan?"

"Anyway, just don't worry."

"No, you have to tell me who you borrowed the money from."

"It's my teacher, a university teacher." Little Grove said.

"University teacher? University teacher is so rich?"

"No, he is just an exception. Anyway, he is very rich."

"Are you sure he's okay?"

"I'm not a kid," Little Grove said.

Zhull Grove's eyes flickered, if there was no loan contract...

"Dad... don't mess around. My teacher has a very large network of contacts, and he is very rich. If you dare not pay back the money, he will make it impossible for you to survive in Hollywood."

"I'm a Hollywood A-lister, no one can keep me from being successful."

"Can Mr. Steven do it?"

"He can, but I don't have any conflict with Mr. Steven."
