Qin Cheng’s arrival caught the entire “Ambush” crew off guard.

“If he doesn’t invest, then Huaxia Entertainment will invest.”

This sentence made Han Yanghao’s whole person freeze in place. His eyes widened till they were as round as a ball. He blankly stared at Qin Cheng in a daze, not daring to believe it. At this moment, Qin Cheng spared a quick one second glance towards him, causing his whole body to shake uncontrollably. Han Yanghao unconsciously took a step back and bumped into Zhong Yi.

But at this moment, only one person was breaking out into a cold sweat out of all the people present.

How come no one was letting him talk ah?!

This person was Assistant Director Wang.

Just now, when Director Zheng angrily decided to refuse to continue filming and seriously leave the project “Ambush” to rot, he didn’t even have time to post the news when he suddenly saw a post——

【”Ambush” crew: Pushing to release the trailer ahead of schedule! Shush, we are currently ambushing →[Video Link]】

This post was made an hour ago! It was just posted an hour ago but now it actually had more than 10,000 forwards and comments and over 50,000 likes!

How did this happen?!

One had to know that aside from Han Yanghao who was somewhat famous, everyone else in the crew from the actors to staff members, if they were not newcomers, they were passerby A. Although the official Weibo looked to have more than 100,000 fans, but Assistant Director Wang knew that for a greater half of this 100,000 plus fans were Internet Water Army accounts. Only about 50,000 were real fans.

Their drama was originally not famous, so how did it suddenly become so popular?

Assistant Director Wang didn’t dare believe it and looked over it several more times. After he repeatedly confirmed that the post was really made an hour ago and had over 10,000 forwards and comments, he excitedly wanted to relay the news to Director Zheng. It was then he saw the highest liked comment at the top in the comment section.

【Old Li Zhengrong: “Ambush” does not have enough funds and is currently a big problem for the crew. We are considering to try crowdfunding.】

That’s right, the reason why Assistant Director Li and Luo Zhentao disappeared for the whole afternoon was for this.

He secretly released the trailer which was originally scheduled for the day after tomorrow and used his own private account to disclose the problem of the crew’s lack of fundings. This completely revealed the deeply-rooted problem for the netizens to see and at the same time, also proposed a new solution——

Crowdfunding!

In this world, crowdfundings were one of the most common forms of investments. There would always be a few hundreds low budget films made each year. There would be so much that thousands upon thousands of investors would joined up to invest for the filming. The total investment in “Ambush” was over ten million. If 10,000 people were willing to participate in the crowdfunding, then they would only need to spend a thousand dollars each and could also get their profit share in the later stages of the drama.

Qin Cheng’s sudden appearance made it impossible for Assistant Director Wang to get a word in and he naturally didn’t know that a storm was raging on the internet at that very moment.
