The villain must spend all his money before he goes bankrupt [Transmigration Book]

Except for the farce on the first day of the new year, generally speaking, this new year has been quite smooth.

Ye Zhou was afraid that Mr. Jiang's family would make troubles again, so he simply didn't stay in city a during the Chinese New Year. He took Mr. Jiang on a trip to city h. The two of them went there for half a month. During this period, Ye Zhou directly turned off his phone. Although Mr. Jiang didn't shut down the phone, he told his secretary not to call unless it was something urgent.

In the past half a month, the two of them have been greatly relaxed both physically and mentally, especially Ye Zhou, who has been playing like crazy. He put aside the "Thriller Circus" trial issue that he had been worrying about before, and devoted himself wholeheartedly. to this rare holiday.

Jiang Tingyuan is no exception. He is a workaholic with high demands on himself. He rarely even takes a vacation on weekdays, let alone take half a month to travel.

It's not impossible, it's just that Jiang Tingyuan is more interested in work than traveling.

But this time because he was with Ye Zhou, Jiang Tingyuan found that the trip that seemed extremely boring before could be so interesting.

Happy days are always short. In the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival is over. After such a long rest, both Jiang Tingyuan and Ye Zhou need to get busy with their respective jobs.

Before setting off from the small island in H City, Ye Zhou stood on the small island, raised his gaudy sun hat, and greeted Jiang Tingyuan who was walking behind him: "Brother Jiang, come here!"

When Jiang Tingyuan stepped up to his side, Ye Zhou handed the camera to the bodyguard standing beside him, and said with a smile, "Can you take a photo for us?"

The bodyguard readily agreed.

Ye Zhou pulled Mr. Jiang and stood on the steps in twos and threes. After making sure that the camera could capture the scenery of the island, he made a funny expression.

Although Jiang Tingyuan had a calm expression on his face, his eyes followed Ye Zhou's figure all the time, and the smile and pampering in his dark eyes could not be concealed.

With the light click of the camera shutter, the picture freezes.

Ye Zhou ran over and turned his head to look at the photo he just took. After seeing it, he was so happy that he couldn't see his eyes. "That's right, let's take this one. If you wash it out, remember to give me two. I'll put it in my wallet."

Jiang Tingyuan also took a look. When he saw Ye Zhou's funny appearance in the photo, he couldn't help laughing, but he didn't say anything. He just told the bodyguard: "Then wash more."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Ye Zhou and asked, "Do you want to take pictures at other scenic spots?"

Ye Zhou looked at the time, and although he was very excited, he still refused, "The ship is coming, and the time may be too late, forget it, anyway, we took so many photos before, so we don't want to take photos, let's go back."

Almost a few minutes after Ye Zhou finished speaking, a white yacht slowly approached the pier from a distance. Before leaving, Ye Zhou looked back at the island behind him with some reluctance.

Seeing his reluctance, Jiang Tingyuan reached out and gently rubbed his head, comforting him, "If you like it, I will give you this island."

"No, no, no." Ye Zhou shook his head again and again. He didn't doubt the authenticity of Mr. Jiang's words at all, but if he showed a look of desire, he would really become the owner of the island in a few days. .

"If you like it, you don't want to buy it. We'll come to play often in the future. Buy whatever you want!" Fearing that Mr. Jiang would not believe it, Ye Zhou increased his tone to show his determination. I’m going to travel to many places, is it possible that I like a place and you buy a place?”

Ye Zhou intended to tease, but unexpectedly, Jiang Tingyuan actually seriously considered the feasibility of this matter. After thinking for a few seconds, he readily agreed, "Yes."

Ye Zhou's smile froze, with question marks all over his head.

Even after wearing books for so long, he still hasn't adapted to the rich people's consumption concept, which is amazing!

The Spring Festival is over, and as life restarts, the number of people going to theaters to watch movies is also decreasing.By the time the Lunar New Year films began to be released one after another, the box office statistics for this year's Lunar New Year have already come to fruition.

This year's "Carved Beams and Painted Buildings" directed by Sun Wei took the top spot this year. It grabbed a high box office of 36.75 billion in the Lunar New Year file, and the second place was a light-hearted comedy "Running Boy!" ", with a box office of 15.3 billion, and the third is the family carnival movie "Huanhuanxixi" brought by veteran director Guo Qi, with a box office of 11.9 billion.

As Ye Zhou and Jiang Tingyuan expected, although "Tears Behind the Bar" received high reviews in terms of word of mouth, the box office and attendance were not as expected. It was a film with high word of mouth and low box office.

But even so, with the help of the movie viewing base of the Lunar New Year file, coupled with the terrifying influence of the actor Zhong Bai, as of the last day before the movie was released, "Tears Behind the Bar" has won 2.85 million box office from the Lunar New Year file.

This box office may have been a failure for other films, but for a film with a total investment of only 500 million yuan, "Tears Behind the Bar", even after excluding various accounts and taxes, the main creative team In terms of money, it is also a lot of money.

What's more, the positioning of the movie "Tears Behind the Bar" has been rushing to win awards from the very beginning, and everyone at the box office didn't have much expectations. I originally thought that it would be amazing to be able to pay back, but I didn't expect that it would not only pay back , and made a profit, even the amount is not small!

At midnight on the last night, when the box office statistics came out, He Feiyang blushed with excitement. Although Liu Zhao was a little calmer than him, he couldn't hide his joy.

At the celebration banquet the next day, both He Feiyang and Liu Zhao drank a little too much, and cried while tugging at Ye Zhou's sleeves, unable to even utter a complete sentence, full of thank you, thank you.

Liu Zhao is restrained and can't say anything beautiful, but tonight he also toasts to Ye Zhou frequently, and all his gratitude and words are contained in this glass of wine.

That night, when Mr. Jiang came to pick up people after work, he saw three or three drunks sitting in a row on the steps in front of the hotel, talking in a messy language, which Pian Jiang Tingyuan could not understand. It's amazing how they can communicate!

Jiang Tingyuan first asked the driver to send He Feiyang and Liu Zhao away, and then brought his little drunk back home.

After the celebration banquet, they thought the box office had given them a big surprise, but then another bigger surprise hit their faces.

"You mean, the national TV station wants to buy the movie rights?" Ye Zhou asked in disbelief, his voice raised because he was so surprised.

Seeing that He Feiyang was in a trance and couldn't speak at all, Liu Zhao beside him took over the conversation helplessly, explaining like Ye Zhou: "Yes, the staff of the National Movie Channel came to us and said they wanted to buy the copyright. But I heard from the other party that the money should not be as much as other video playback platforms.”

"The staff said that if we are interested, we can help to get as much as possible. The specific situation requires our person in charge to go there at that time and discuss together to get the exact amount."

Ye Zhou rubbed his face, regained his composure, and said directly: "If it can be bought by the national TV station, money is not a problem."

I don't blame Ye Zhou for being so generous, it's because once selected by the national TV station, the benefits to the film and the main creative team are definitely not as simple as money.

The money may be less, but whether it is influence or popularity, it is far higher than the network platform.Moreover, although the online platform can always be searched, the recommended slot will only be given when it is first released, and the follow-up publicity cannot keep up.

But the national TV station is different. Some movies can be replayed two or three times a year. If it is a very classic movie, it will be replayed basically every year.

Although the quality of "Tears Behind the Bar" was very good and it won many awards, neither Ye Zhou nor He Feiyang expected that they would be able to get into the eyes of the national TV station.

Everyone is not a short-sighted person. Of course, the long-term development is more important than the immediate benefits.

At that time, Mr. Jiang, the investor of the film, also invested in Ye Zhou's own name. He didn't need to discuss with anyone. After the three people reached an agreement, Ye Zhou told Mr. Jiang about the matter. The TV station finalized the contract.

-

Early in the morning, after Feng Mingrui finished his morning run, he chatted with his inmates, and just as he left the playground, he heard a sharp whistle.

Almost reflexively, the prisoners who were originally scattered on the playground in groups of three or four quickly gathered together in just 2 minutes, and they were neatly grouped into platoons and well-trained.

The prison guard took the booklet and called the names. After confirming that there were no fewer people, the prison guard cleared his throat and said, "I don't need to go to the art practice today, and I will change it to film appreciation. After the meeting is over, I will go directly to the screening hall to report. Everyone sits according to their number. In the corresponding position, it is not allowed to chat with each other, and it is not allowed to change seats."

"have you understood?"

As the prison guard's voice fell, there was a neat response from the playground.

After the queue was disbanded, Feng Mingrui was a little puzzled, poked the inmates around him, and asked in a low voice: "Isn't the movie appreciation Friday? Today is only Wednesday. Can I still go on Friday?"

The inmate rolled his eyes, and slapped him on the back mercilessly, "What are you thinking about? It's a change. Today's movie appreciation will be changed to work on Friday. You can still go to work twice. You look so good." It's ugly, but you think it's beautiful."

Feng Mingrui was choked for a long time and didn't know what to say. He wanted to refute. Seeing that the other party didn't dare to refute, he held his breath again.

He complained, and finally complained about Ye Zhou.

That's right, it was Ye Zhou.Feng Mingrui was the young man who played tricks on Xiegfei Weiya when filming "A Farce".

Now that he has been in prison for almost three years, instead of thinking about finding problems with himself, he resented Ye Zhou instead.

From Feng Mingrui's point of view, although he tampered with the wire, he was discovered in the end, and no one was killed, nor did he cause any major disasters. It was the director Ye Zhou who not only didn't want to calm things down, but insisted on calling the police. The incident was so violent that he was arrested by his mother!

During Feng Mingrui's two years in prison, whenever he was bullied, his resentment towards Ye Zhou increased. Now, he almost regarded Ye Zhou as his sworn enemy.

But he completely forgot that his actions violated the law, and everyone has to pay for their actions. Isn’t it obvious from the court’s judgment whether he was at fault and whether he violated the law.

There is a saying "Never try to wake up someone who pretends to be asleep", this sentence is very appropriate for Feng Mingrui, who is immersed in his own world and cannot extricate himself.

Feng Mingrui looked forward to Ye Zhou's bad luck every day. He hoped and hoped, but he hoped for the stars and the moon, but he didn't. He also heard the news that "A Farce" was a big hit at the box office.

money!It's all fucking money!

If he hadn't promised Zou Rong at that time and stayed in the crew honestly, then after the movie was released and achieved such a big hit, as a member of the crew, he would definitely be able to get a lot of red envelopes.

It's a pity that there is no such thing in reality. When others are happily distributing money, he is working in prison; When the value of the springboard is about to rise, what about him?

He is in prison, and with this criminal record, even if he is released from prison in the future, it will definitely be impossible for him to eat as much as before. Which crew is so brave enough to recruit him.

Every time he thought of this, Feng Mingrui's hatred for Ye Zhou increased.

Call the police, if Ye Zhou didn't call the police, but accepted his apology, how could his career that he has worked so hard for so long be in vain, how could the contacts he struggled to maintain be useless, and how could he have fallen into this situation? step field? !

"Feng Mingrui, what the hell are you thinking, this is my position, let's go!"

Dazed in a daze, Feng Mingrui was pushed violently by someone. He almost fell down due to the huge force. He staggered a few steps to stabilize his center of gravity. Just as he was about to curse back, he raised his head to meet a face full of flesh. Feng Mingrui Resolutely swallowed the words back.

"I'm sorry Brother Qiang, I'm sorry, I'm leaving right now." Feng Mingrui apologized subtly.

The other party rolled his eyes, picked up his collar and carried him to the side, and said in a rough voice, "Get out!"

Feng Mingrui clenched his fists, but he didn't dare to refute anything. He nodded and ran away quickly, finally found his seat, but saw that there was already a person sitting on the seat next to his number.

That man looked very difficult to mess with. Time passed, and seeing that the prison guards had pushed the door in, Feng Mingrui finally mustered up his courage, and whispered: "This, this is my position..."

Before he could finish speaking, Feng Mingrui was stared at by that person, his voice stopped abruptly like a chicken whose throat was choked, and he couldn't utter a single word.

At this moment, the prison guard's gaze swept over, and Feng Mingrui's calf immediately trembled. He looked around and found no empty seat, so he could only grit his teeth, squatted halfway in front of the table.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for him to squat down before the room darkened, and the movie started. Unfortunately, he might have to maintain the squatting position to watch the whole movie.

After a while of the opening song, three large characters appeared on the screen, "Tears behind bars".

As soon as the title of the film was typed, there was a burst of muffled laughter in the screening room, but the laughter only lasted for a moment, and soon disappeared in the sound of the prison guards maintaining order.

At first, everyone didn't take this kind of educational film seriously. Although they watched it with their eyes, they kept making small movements in private, and from time to time they would comment on the performance of the protagonist in a low voice with the inmates.

However, when the film was two-thirds through, the atmosphere in the screening hall was completely different from before. Few people spoke anymore. In the huge screening room, there were only the voices of the movie characters talking, and there were no other noises.

When the plot progresses until the protagonist is released after serving his sentence, one can clearly feel that most people in the screening hall look relieved. Although they are not as good as the protagonist, they also sincerely admire the quality of the protagonist. People will always yearn for Things that you can't do yourself, people and things are the same.

At this time, we can see that the main character has finally made it out of his head and started a new life. Everyone couldn't help being happy for the main character, and the atmosphere in the screening hall became much more relaxed.

When the protagonist boards the long-distance train home, the scenery outside the window quickly passes by, as if it symbolizes that those unbearable experiences in the past have been far away, and there will be a smooth road ahead.

But when they returned home with the protagonist, looking at the strange tall buildings that made people feel afraid, and the surrounding scenery that did not match their memories, they began to panic together with the protagonist.

Some people thought of the protagonist's parents who hadn't visited him for many days, and the black and white funeral.

Those who react quickly have already realized that the protagonist's parents are probably no longer alive.

Thinking that waiting for the protagonist will be the news of the death of his parents, everyone feels sad for a while.

Especially for those old prisoners who have been in prison for many years, they are full of emotions in their hearts for a moment, and they think of their hometown, the people in their hometown, the scenery of their hometown, and the things in their hometown.

Now that so many years have passed, is the old man still safe?Or, is the home like that in the movie? Things have already changed.

They didn't dare to think about it anymore, and tried to focus on the movie, trying not to recall the memories of home as much as possible, for fear that they would cry in the next second.

But what makes people even more sad is that the protagonist finally finds his old home. When he opened the door lock with trembling hands, he happened to be hit by a neighbor who was about to go out.

From the mouth of the neighbor, the protagonist finally learns the fact that his parents are no longer there.

When the protagonist's figure drifts away and gradually disappears into the alley, there are bursts of crying along with the narration.

There is nothing more empathetic than those of them in prison, no more.

Because of empathy, the crying was suppressed at first, but later, when more people cried, it changed from sobbing to wailing.

Never before has such a moment made them so terrified. Are their parents in good health for so many years?Are the children growing up smoothly?Is the wife/girlfriend...still waiting for their return?

There has never been such a moment for them to regret so much, why did they commit crimes in the first place?If they hadn't done those wrong things, now they should be by their parents, wife and children, and the family is harmonious and happy.

"People always have to pay the price for their mistakes in this life. Some mistakes can be made up for, but some have no chance to make up for it."

So, do they still have the opportunity to make up for the mistakes they made back then?

"If you can, you should do your best to break free from the quagmire and regain a new life."

"If you can't, you should go forward bravely. After all, there is no way out."

Someone whispered and repeated the two lines at the end of the movie over and over again, dismantling them word by word, crushing them and savoring them carefully.

Most people were immersed in the emotions of the movie and couldn't get out, only a small number of heartless people were doing it, and Feng Mingrui was among this small group of people.

Feng Mingrui maintained the squatting position for nearly two hours. At this time, when he moved his legs a little, he felt a sharp numbness. cold sweat.

After finally relieving himself a little, Feng Mingrui endured the numbness and forced himself to stand up. His gaze inadvertently glanced at the big screen that was still playing the list of participating credits at the end of the credits.

Feng Mingrui stared blankly at the huge line of words in the center of the screen, and even wondered if he was dizzy and misread after squatting for a long time.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes vigorously, but when he looked up again, the line of subtitles still didn't disappear, and even became clearer.

I saw the big characters in the middle of the screen, which read: Sincerely thank the investor Mr. Ye Zhou, without him, the movie "Tears behind bars" would not have come out.

Fuck it!Is it the director Ye Zhou he thought of? !

"It must be the same name. Yes, the name of such an ordinary person must be the same name. How could it be him? Isn't he just a little-known little director..."

Feng Mingrui murmured, but things backfired. Just after the movie's behind-the-scenes list was played, he picked up a small video about ten seconds long.

This video is some behind-the-scenes footage, and the scene should be on the set. Coincidentally, Feng Mingrui saw the man wearing a black peaked cap sitting next to the director at a glance. It was none other than Ye Zhou whom he hated so much. ah!

That line of thanks and the fact that Ye Zhou's face appeared in the end credits at this time, if Feng Mingrui didn't accept that this Ye Zhou was that Ye Zhou, he would be deceiving himself a little too much.

Feng Mingrui was completely dazed, with a shocked expression on his face, he couldn't believe it, he was in this situation now, like a bereaved dog, and the culprit who sent him to prison by himself not only did not receive retribution, but instead of wind and water.

This blow was too great for Feng Mingrui, so that Feng Mingrui was dizzy for a while, his body staggered, and he fell to the ground directly.

Originally, he should have been easily spotted when he fainted, but he was really unlucky. A few seconds before Feng Mingrui passed out, the prison guards just announced that they would be dismissed.

Feng Mingrui felt someone stepping on him, and the severe pain made him subconsciously call for help, but still the same sentence, his luck was really...too miserable.

Everyone was immersed in the sadness brought about by "Tears Behind Bars". Crying and choking filled the entire screening hall for a while, and his cries of pain were naturally drowned in the crying.

Of course, someone must have seen him fall. It's just that Feng Mingrui's staff is poor, and he is usually not welcome. Click to go, enough benevolence and righteousness.

The auditorium was almost empty of people, and the cleaning lady who came to clean up found a person lying on the ground. Poor Feng Mingrui was finally discovered.

There were footprints all over his back, especially his buttocks, which were so gray and white that it was horrible to look at.

Fortunately, his skin is rough and fleshy, and most of the wounds on his body are skin traumas, so there is nothing serious about him. If he had to find something wrong, it would be that his tailbone and wrist were slightly fractured.

In the next few months, I am afraid that life will not be too easy.

After "Tears Behind the Bar" was broadcast in the prison, the prison guards who guarded them for a month were surprised to find that many of these prisoners were much more active in working, training, and studying than before.

There are also some who are very impatient with family visits on weekdays. After the movie screening, their conversations with family members have improved somewhat.

After the prison guards reported these behaviors, "Tears behind bars" became popular in prisons all over the country in an instant.

Taking advantage of the unexpected popularity of "Tears Behind the Bar" in prison, Ye Zhou got another good news.

"Circus of Horror", which was suppressed and still hadn't passed the review, finally passed the review three days ago.
