Lucas said that there was no funds and the crew could only stop work. That was just anger, to threaten Ye Jin.

But he didn't expect Ye Jin would really suggest that the crew would stop working, which made Lucas so angry that he was crazy.

The reason why Ye Jin is not afraid of the crew's suspension is that now that "Star Wars" has been filmed, the rest is post-production, and the most important one is the movie special effects. The movie special effects of "Star Wars" are also managed by Industrial Light and Magic, which is Ye Jin and a company under Lucas.

Therefore, the crew's suspension may sound serious, but in fact it will not cause much loss. At most, it will only delay the release of Star Wars and delay the return of money.

Ye Jin can afford to delay this time. So far, the total investment of "Star Wars" is only 8 million US dollars, which is nothing to him, who has a net worth of billions, and he is not in a hurry to make a comeback.

But Ye Jin can't stand it, Lucas can't stand it.

"Star Wars" is his latest work three years after "American Style Painting". Three years are basically a reshuffle process for Hollywood.

In Hollywood, the film company rating actors and directors depends on his achievements in the past three years. Even if he was a director or a great actor before, if he had no new works in three years, the film company would be worried about his box office appeal.

What's more, Lucas was still bound by a contract. From 1976 to 1977, he could no longer direct other movies for this year and a half, and he had to devote himself to producing "Star Wars".

In comparison, as an investor, Ye Jin can freely invest in other movies.

Therefore, the crew's suspension of work will cause much more damage to Lucas than to Ye Jin.

"You can't stop, you can't stop. Ye, the movie has been filmed and it will be officially released in three or four months at most. If you let the crew stop now, wouldn't it be all over?" Lucas quickly persuaded.

"There is no way. At the rate of spending money at this rate, how much money will I have to spend in three or four months? Even if I make 100 million US dollars, it is not enough for you to spend like this." Ye Jin pretended to be helpless, "Unless you can control the cost, I really don't dare to invest again."

"This..." Lucas hesitated for a moment.

Controlling costs will damage the quality of the movie. The quality of the movie is directly related to his reputation, and he hopes that the movie can be perfect.

"If you can't do it, then I have to change people." Seeing that he was still hesitating, Ye Jin added another fire. If Lucas can't promise to control costs, then he will change to other directors.

When Lucas heard this, he had no other choice but to agree.

If the director really changes, he will be in trouble. At that time, if the new director makes the movie a mess, then his plan to reappear with "Star Wars" and create a glory will be ruined.

"Okay, I promise you that I will try my best to control the cost." Lucas said immediately.

"Very good, this is the attitude of cooperation." Ye Jin said with a smile when he heard this.

Of course he didn't really want to replace Lucas. The "Star Wars" series is definitely inseparable from Lucas. If he does not have him, the entire series will be ruined.

He said that just to scare Lucas. Now that Lucas has really given up, he naturally changed his words.

"Let's do it, you can hold on for a week first, I'll raise funds." Ye Jin said then.

He believed that Lucas must have money, and it would be very difficult to hold on for a week. However, it was just a lesson for him to know the truth that "it is difficult for a man without money" so that he would not have a recurrence of his old illness.

"Okay, then you can wait for your good news as soon as possible." Lucas nodded. At this moment, he couldn't be anxious with Ye Jin.

Otherwise, if the crew really stops working and Ye Jin really replaces people, that's enough for him to drink.

"Okay." Hearing his tone softened, Ye Jin's heart suddenly burst into joy, knowing that Lucas had been initially tamed by him.

...

In the next few days, Ye Jin stayed with Lin Qingxia in Taiwan.

One is to accompany the family, and the other is to help Lin Lixia, Lin Chengsen apply for a passport and visa.

It is relatively easy to get a star Lin Qingxia to apply for a passport and visa. Ye Jin also contacted America by phone and helped Lin Lixia and Lin Chengsen through the admission procedures of the University of Southern California through Rhodes.

As a top public relations company in Asiatica, Rhodes has a very powerful energy, and even hundreds of palaces have the ability to penetrate, let alone universities like the University of Southern California.

Of course, there is no free lunch in the world. In order to help Lin Lixia and Lin Chengsen get admission quotas, Ye Jin also paid a high price.

He paid $1.5 million to donate an exhibition hall to the school, so that the two of them allowed to attend.

The reason why it costs so much is that the University of Southern California is a top-notch university in America and the oldest top private research university on the West Coast, ranks 22nd in the comprehensive ranking of the University of America.

Among the school’s faculty and graduates are nine Nobel Prize winners, six MacArthur genius winners and one Turing Prize winner.

Armstrong, the first astronaut to land on the moon, Viterbi, the founder of Qualcomm, and well-known Hollywood directors Stephen Spielberg, George Lucas, etc., are all its alumni.

For a top university like this, the price of studying is naturally not cheap.

After learning that Ye Jin had paid such a high price, the Lin family became more grateful to him. Especially Lin Qingxia was even more impressed. She knew that if it weren't for her, Ye Jin would never have spent so much money on her brother and sister. And his willingness to spend so much money also proved that he really loved him. How could she not touched her? Therefore, she simply loved Ye Jin to the core.

...

Just when Ye Jin helped Lin Lixia and Lin Chengsen handle study abroad, Lucas compressed costs while ensuring quality as much as possible.

For this reason, he canceled afternoon tea, pizza for lunch, and changed it to a cheap burger. The company's commuter car has also been changed from an air-conditioned car to a cheap bus...

Lucas reduces expenses outside the movie as much as possible to ensure that more funds are invested in the production of movie special effects.

However, despite his piecing together, the funds were still short of money. After all, the movie special effects are really expensive. A special effects require several or even dozens of times to achieve the required results, and each experiment costs a lot. In the end, without four days of perseverance, the account was completely out of money.
