That's all.
Without waiting for Pei An to respond.
The middle-aged man suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he had thought of something.
He looked at Ye Chen with shining eyes.
It should be said or not, in the eyes of most people, Ye Chen is still an ignorant, rich and willful nouveau riche.
At least that's what the middle-aged man from Orange Gua Films saw at the moment.
"Boss Ye, would you like to consider investing in this film produced by our Orange Gua Pictures? If you can invest, other investors will not be important, and we can have a lot of fun changing the cast!" The middle-aged man smiled flatteringly.
But before Ye Chen could respond.
Pei An immediately said in a cold voice, "Boss Lai, this is too much! How dare you trick Boss Ye into a trap with such a bad script? The other investors invested just to give their Canary a chance to appear on the screen. Do you really think they invested for the script?"
"Pei An, are you done yet? Didn't you clamor for a role change? If there is no strong capital entering the market, can you tell me how to change the role? Can you tell me which investors might ask us to change the role?" the middle-aged man said in a low voice.
However, Pei An no longer paid attention to him.
Turned to look at Ye Chen.
- Ben said seriously, "Mr. Ye, we have never met before. Can you tell me where I am?"
Seeing injustice, you stood up and threatened to arrange liquidated damages with me. I, Pei An, was very touched, but I appreciated your kindness. I, Pei An, would never let you pay for my liquidated damages. Even if I, Pei An, was not very good, I still had some principles and bottom line as a human being! In addition, you must not invest in this movie. It is a rubbish movie. Even if you find old actors, it will not change much. If this kind of movie is put into the theater, let alone making money, it is unrealistic to even get back the cost! So if you throw money into it, it will be a waste!
Little did he know that Pei An had said this.
The middle-aged man's face immediately turned the color of liver.
This Nima
"Pei An, are you going too far?" The middle-aged man tried to suppress his anger. "Just because Mr. Ye threatened to pay for my breach of contract, do you think I can watch him jump into the fire pit? Under this premise, I don't want to discuss with you whether it is excessive or not. As for the quality of the script, don't you know it? For a script like this, do you think it is possible to make a profit at the box office if it is released in theaters?" Pei An said.
The middle-aged man gasped when he heard this. He was angry.
In the Chinese film industry, aren't there a lot of bad movies every year?
As for those producers and investors, don't they know that they will definitely not be able to stir up any box office success?
If we really follow the investment standard of earning a return on investment at the box office, the number of films released in theaters each year would be at least 70 to 80 percent less!
Just when the middle-aged man was about to speak back.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Can I ask what the movie you are shooting is called?"
"A dream of traveling through time and space! Just hearing the name is low enough, but unfortunately I have no say. Even if I want to change the content of the script or cut out those rubbish and vulgar scenes, I am not granted permission. It's so frustrating and cowardly to be a crappy director!" Pei An said first.
This made the middle-aged man grit his teeth and he almost couldn't help but kick him.
There seems to be a glimmer of hope for him to get close to Ye Chen, the financial sponsor, but Pei An keeps singing a different tune?
"Well, the name sounds really bad!" Ye Chen chuckled. This title once again brought back memories of his past life.
In my memory from my previous life, there was indeed a film that was regarded as the worst film in history for a decade or two.
The name is "Dream of Time Travel".
Ye Chen still remembers this masterpiece vividly.
This masterpiece is said to have cost tens of millions of dollars, but its total box office in theaters that year was less than five million.
The reason why it became popular is that after it was launched on major film and television video apps, it was hyped up by the spectators who came here to watch it because of its fame.
The film tells the story of a crashed passenger plane that plunged into the sea, and the passengers on the plane traveled back to the Ming Dynasty...
From the perspective of the theme, there is nothing wrong with it, but the content of the film is so irritating that it destroys your worldview... However, what is even more irritating than the content of the film is the acting of the protagonists. Really... In the words of netizens, just find a passerby who has watched more than 20 movies, and he can act better than many characters in the film...
Later, according to statistics, the number of viewers who watched the movie from beginning to end was less than one thousandth of the total number of views!
Along with this data, the title of the worst film in history came into being, and it has remained on this throne for a decade or two.
So Ye Chen understood why Pei An wanted to give up.
And according to my memory, in the list of participants of this movie in my previous life, the director was not Pei An. This shows that Pei An in his previous life successfully gave up the responsibility.
"Boss Ye, if you are willing to invest in this film, the script can be changed at will, the roles can be changed at will, as long as the funds are in place, everything will be fine!" the middle-aged man said hurriedly.
"I'm not interested in this movie called "Dream of Time Travel"! But I am somewhat interested in your Orange Gua Films!" Ye Chen suddenly said playfully.
"Huh? Boss Ye, what...what do you mean?" The middle-aged man was stunned.
"Literally! I want to acquire a film and television company for fun. You can convey my ideas and interests back to them. If you are willing to consider being acquired, I think we can have a good chat then!" Ye Chen said with a smile.
Middle-aged people:
Pei An:
Acquire a film and television company for fun?
Pei An has seen many nouveau riche and middle-aged people.
But a nouveau riche like this is unheard of! How long has it been since Ye Chen's name appeared on the Internet? Not counting Yiren Ruxue at the beginning, he first entered the real estate industry and the semiconductor industry. Now he wants to start the film and television industry?
They still don't know that Ye Chen is currently involved in the catering industry, gaming industry, lithography machine field, chip field, and plans to open a security consulting company. Otherwise, they would be even more confused.
"Mr. Ye, since you just wanted to help me pay the penalty, forgive me for being frank, but if you are interested in the film and television industry, Orange Gua Pictures is not a good choice. Putting aside its fame, there are almost no outstanding works!" Pei An frowned and said such a stupid thing in front of the top management of Orange Gua Pictures.
As expected.
After these words were spoken, the middle-aged man's eyes looked at him and changed again and again, becoming colder and colder.
However, Ye Chen shook his head and smiled disapprovingly, "It doesn't matter what the past of Orange Melon Pictures was like. All I want is a shell, a shell with a sound system that saves me the trouble of building a structure. So whether it's Orange Melon Pictures, Pear Melon Pictures, or Zao Melon Pictures, it's the same to me. I'm looking forward to the future after I take over!"
"Uh..." Pei An was suddenly speechless.
Is this how rich people think?
"Director Pei, if I really acquire a film and television company, can I sign you and let you be the chief director? The filming budget will not be a problem. You can choose the actors and find the scripts. Money is not a problem. As long as you think it is suitable and as long as you can find the right people, everything will be fine. How do you think?"
One word can cause a thousand waves.
Ye Chen said something that not only petrified Pei An, but also stunned the middle-aged man.
