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

After the new year, Ye Zhou received a call from the person in charge of the relevant department. The other party expressed that he wanted to shorten the review time, and suggested that Ye Zhou should cut the original plot appropriately.

Of course Ye Zhou disagreed, and he refused without much hesitation.

Sometimes no matter how good the film is, no matter how good the quality is, after a mess of random editing, it immediately becomes incoherent, buggy, and nonsense.

Ye Zhou understood what the person in charge meant, and could even guess which part of the scene they wanted to delete, but Ye Zhou would not and could not agree.

Because the scene that the other party wanted to delete was the real essence of the movie, and instead of making the movie mediocre by deleting it, Ye Zhou would rather it had never been released.

Ye Zhou's insistence made the film review process, which had finally been a little loose, fall into a stalemate again.

It has been nearly half a year since "The Horror Circus" was officially completed, and just when Ye Zhou was already hopeless, good news came.

It took more than half a year to submit for trial, and finally passed the trial successfully.

During the months of waiting for the review, Ye Zhou has not been idle. Except for the time spent during the Chinese New Year, he is preparing for the new script.

As a habit developed in his previous life, Ye Zhou is a person who can't be idle. He has been idle for more than half a year since the filming of "Horror Circus" ended.

When I am busy, I really want to take a vacation and have a good rest, but after a long rest, I want to work again.This is the true portrayal of Ye Zhou.

Just when Ye Zhou was free enough to grow hair, a good quality notebook appeared in front of him.

Speaking carefully, this book was handed over by the protagonist Gong Jiang Yu himself.

At the auction that Mr. Jiang took Ye Zhou to participate in when he crossed, he caught a glimpse of a work called "Backtracking". However, due to the malicious bidding of the main character, the final price was raised to 200 million. Zhou cheated the protagonist and resolutely gave up the auction.

I thought this work had nothing to do with me, but I didn't expect that just a few months ago, the protagonist Gong Jiangyu was so poor that he had to resell the previously bought work to return the funds due to the budget overrun of "Battle City 2" .

At that time, everyone in the industry was busy reading jokes, but Ye Zhou didn't read them. Not only did he not, but Mr. An Lijiang sent people to Jiang Yu's company to pick and choose a few promising works.

This definitely cannot be done in the name of Jiang Zong and Jiang Shi. Jiang Tingyuan handed over this matter to a small branch company under him to handle it.

"Backtracking" was among these works. When Mr. Jiang brought over the detailed purchase report, Ye Zhou never expected such a coincidence.

When Ye Zhou asked how much Mr. Jiang spent, Mr. Jiang smiled and said nothing.It was only later that Ye Zhou learned that the final transaction price of this work that Jiang Yu bought back at a huge price was only 20.

That's right, it was 20 yuan, which was only 5 yuan higher than the script's original auction reserve price.

Why?Why else, it can only be said that with the development of society now, there are fewer and fewer idiots like Jiang Yu who will take photos ten times higher than the work itself because of impulse.

Jiang Yu wanted to sell at the original price. The question is, will anyone be willing to take over the offer?

He bought "Backtracking" at a price of 200 million out of impulse, but no one would accept it at the price of 200 million, and no one would pay for Jiang Yu's impulse.

With these 200 million in the industry, it is enough to buy better works. Compared with newcomers, the industry generally trusts the old writers who are already somewhat famous.

It is said that Jiang Yu originally priced "Backtracking" at 100 million, but the IPs of other works have almost sold out, but "Backtracking" didn't even ask for a price.

In desperation, he could only lower the price again and again, until it dropped to 50 yuan, the person in charge of the purchase sent by Jiang Tingyuan laughed and said, I have bought so many things from you. Add a head, friendship lasts forever!

Of course Jiang Yu was not happy, his heart was bleeding.But when the person in charge said with a stern face, if Jiang Yu had such an attitude, then he needed to think about the book he had selected before.

Jiang Yu felt dizzy when he heard it. Now that "Battle City 2" has been in operation for more than a year, the funds raised before have basically been spent. If there is no more funds injected, the project may be temporarily shut down due to insufficient funds. up.

Downtime may cost tens of thousands of lost wages per day for an ordinary small production crew, but for a large-scale production and production crew like "War City 2", a one-day shutdown costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The past directors of Jiang Tingyuan sent a total of six works to pick and choose, with a total value of more than 2000 million. If "Backtracking" is ruined, it is not impossible to find a buyer again, but it will take time.

But Jiang Yu can't afford to delay for even a minute now. The additional 1 million investment that Dingfeng had originally agreed to was due to the delay in receiving the money from his own company. There is a way.

After weighing it several times, Jiang Yu finally agreed, and sold the work he had spent 20 million on the auction for 200 yuan.

200 million, buy loneliness, Jiang Yu can't think about it at all, as long as he thinks about it, his heart hurts.

Speaking of "The Horror Circus", as soon as the news of the film's review came out, many people in the industry automatically focused their attention on Ye Zhou and his film, wanting to see it after so many years. Ye Zhou, who eats crabs and challenges R-rated horror movies, will make a lot of money, or lose his fortune.

As the focus of attention, Ye Zhou's mentality has been quite stable during this period, and he has no anxiety or tension as imagined by the outside world. Now he no longer needs to go to the theater to negotiate, but the person in charge of the theater has taken the initiative. Get in touch with his team.

This time "The Horror Circus" Ye Zhou did not choose the mode of pre-screening, all the publicity was handed over to himself and Jing Zhe's public relations department, and he completely became a hands-off shopkeeper.

It's not that he doesn't pay much attention to the box office of this movie, but that all his focus is currently on the new movie "Looking Back".

When the "Backward" team was basically formed and all the actors were selected, the much-anticipated "Thriller Circus" finally landed in major theaters on May [-] Labor Day.

Feng Tianming is a lover of thrillers, and he has high requirements for movies. Before the horror movies were cut across the board, Feng Tianming picked and commented on the horror movies at that time. Sometimes one is not scary enough, and another is not bloody enough. After a while, the atmosphere of the plot is tense again, and there is no sense of substitution...

In short, there are few thriller movies that catch his eyes.The few old movies that have long been regarded as classics are still a few.

Although he is always dissatisfied with movie reviews, Feng Tianming still really likes horror movies.

But one day a few years ago, a boy imitated the plot of a horror movie and brutally murdered his three-year-old sister. Outsiders know a thing or two.

Numerous parents spontaneously formed a team to march in the streets. While demanding sky-high compensation from the film studios, they also strongly demanded that mainstream horror movies containing gore and ghosts be removed from shelves.

Less than three months after this incident, thriller movies were taken off shelves on a large scale.

Suddenly, [-]% of the thriller movies that Feng Tianming liked were taken off the shelves. Even a few classic old thrillers were all taken off the shelves because they were too bloody and did not conform to socialist values.

Thriller movies have entered an unprecedented cold winter.Those who can successfully pass the review must not be good-looking, and movies that can grasp the core of horror often fall in front of the review.

Feng Tianming really wants to cry, but no thriller lover like him is much better than him.

Although it’s not impossible to watch foreign movies if you really want to watch them, but foreign movies are still different from your own country’s movies.

Looking forward to the stars and looking forward to the moon, I finally looked forward to the promulgation of the movie classification system, but it has been such a long time since it was implemented, it may be because the losses a few years ago were too heavy, so that all the industry leaders are very cautious. If you dare to try, you are afraid of repeating the same mistakes and falling in front of the review.

This has also led to the situation that the grading system has been promulgated for so long, and there are minor incidents, but none of the real ones.

When "Horror Circus" was about to start filming, there was already a wave of horror movie lovers' forums. Ren Zi'an, the screenwriter, used to be deeply loved by horror lovers. Now that he finally returned to his old job, the director of this movie It was Ye Zhou who had two high-grossing works next to him. The forum was like Chinese New Year for half a month, and he rushed to tell each other, not to mention how happy he was.

But expectations are nothing but expectations, but everyone is not very optimistic about the development prospects of this movie. Various analysis posts emerge in endlessly, and there are three most mainstream views.

The first point of view is that this film could not pass the review at all, the initial investment was in vain, and the crew and investors lost all their money.

The second point of view is much more optimistic than the previous one. This movie can be released smoothly, but the content will definitely be greatly reduced, and there may even be cases where too many cuts can be made to connect the plot.

The third one is more optimistic. The film can be released without any cuts, but large-scale releases are not allowed, only small-scale releases are allowed, or a few sporadic arrangements are made to deal with it.

However, no matter which one of these three it is, everyone decided to buy tickets to support it. Even if the movie is really bad, everyone is willing to support it, not for anything else, but for feelings.

Feng Tianming was also one of this group of people. He hadn't watched a movie for a long time, and he was no longer as picky as he was at the beginning. He was ready to watch a bad movie.

Although there is a five-day long holiday on May Day, the film market has entered a downturn due to the outbreak of the Lunar New Year file. Most of the big productions with strong competitiveness will choose the [-]th Golden Week or the Lunar New Year file next year. Therefore, in general, there is nothing wrong recently Big ip big production, less competition.

Feng Tianming rushed to the cinema early, because the R-rated thriller premiered at zero o'clock. He thought that there should not be many people in the cinema today, but who knows...

"Hey! Why are there so many people? Could it be another big movie? I haven't heard of it before." Feng Tianming pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and muttered softly.

After following the crowd, we finally arrived at the ticket machine, but there was already a long queue in front of us.

Feng Tianming looked surprised, secretly guessing in his heart which fairy production will be released tonight.He couldn't hold back his curiosity, took a picture of the boy standing in front of him, and asked politely, "Excuse me for interrupting, is there any big-budget movie coming out today?"

The young man was in his early twenties, wearing a peaked cap and covering his face with a mask, and his eyes had large toad mirrors that could cover half of his face. Beside him stood a man who was dressed in the same style as him but taller than the young man by a head. Let's look back together.

After being the shopkeeper for too long, Ye Zhou finally committed public outrage, and was kicked over by the team in a rage to evaluate the audience's attendance, viewing experience, praise, opinions, etc. on the night of the film's premiere.

It just so happened that "Backtracking" was almost ready, so Ye Zhou thought about taking this opportunity to have a sweet movie theater date with Mr. Jiang to promote their relationship.

In order to better penetrate into the audience, Ye Zhou simply regarded himself as an audience, buying tickets and queuing up to watch the movie just like ordinary audiences.

When he heard the young man's question behind him, Ye Zhou was stunned. After recovering, he really thought about it seriously, and said uncertainly, "Shouldn't there be?"

Feng Tianming didn't get any useful information from the young man, so he continued to ask, "Then may I know what movie you came to watch?"

"This..." Ye Zhou hesitated a little. It's not that he can't say it, but it's more or less ashamed to watch the movie he made by himself, and he doesn't know how to tell others.

Mr. Jiang next to Ye Zhou smiled and admired his embarrassment, and finally opened his mouth to smooth things over for him, answering the young man's question, ""The Horror Circus"."

When Feng Tianming heard the title of the film, he was stunned for a moment. After realizing it, his face turned red with excitement. He rubbed his hands on his pants, stretched out his hand to Ye Zhou, and said excitedly, "Are you fans of thrillers too? It’s great to have met someone like me!”

"Uh...that counts?" Ye Zhou didn't know if he was a fan or not, maybe a little bit?Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken such a big risk to accept the shoot.

Just when Ye Zhou was about to shake hands with him, someone took Feng Tianming's hand one step ahead of him.

"I don't like thrillers." Jiang Tingyuan's voice was low and his tone was neither urgent nor slow.

Feng Tianming was stunned, and subconsciously asked: "Then why did you come to watch the premiere of this movie?"

Jiang Tingyuan turned his head to look at Ye Zhou beside him, and said in a serious and teasing voice, "I like the director of this movie."

Feng Tianming: "Ah... this, this."

Ye Zhou: "..."

Mr. Jiang, you say you like me so solemnly, it really makes me feel ashamed!

Ye Zhou's expression was covered by the mask, but the exposed tips of his ears slowly turned red, and as time passed, they became more and more red.

Pianjiang Tingyuan didn't just do it intentionally or unintentionally, he who has always been taciturn suddenly talked too much to a stranger today.

"Do you know this director, have you seen any of his works?"

"His "A Farce" and "Chasing Light" are both good-looking."

"It's a director with a unique style, you can watch it if you're interested."

"The director is excellent and the quality of the film he made is very high."

"Not only is the film excellent, but the director is also excellent."

"He is handsome and has a good personality."

"But he already has a boyfriend, so just appreciate the work and don't think about it."

Ye Zhou's ears were dripping red. Seeing that he was talking too much, he finally couldn't help pulling down Jiang Tingyuan's sleeve, and murmured, "Don't, don't say it..."

Jiang Tingyuan tacitly grabbed his hand, summed up and added the last sentence.

"I really like him."
