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

Geng Bochuan had made up his mind, and even though his manager was heartbroken, he still couldn't get over his intentions, pinching his nose and pushing Lu Cheng's director's new play.

All the scenes in Xi Yang's part were reshooted, which was a time-consuming and labor-intensive project, but fortunately, Geng Bochuan and Duan Jingyuan had already established a tacit understanding after working together for so long, and there was no need to re-run it again. The reshoot time originally scheduled for one and a half months was compressed for another week or so.

After the film was finished, Ye Zhou locked himself in the studio and edited the film for more than a month. After the film was finished, he became a shopkeeper.He didn't plan to do any marketing this time, and directly entrusted all of them to Jing Zhe to be responsible for the subsequent release and publicity issues.

After "Chasing the Light" came to an end, Ye Zhou habitually took a short vacation for himself, eating and sleeping every day, and the rest of the time was either watching movies or playing games.

That's right, Ye Zhou became very interested in the game "Swallow" after watching Xu Cheng and his team's practice match. Although he was a good player, he was bored every time he played the game. , but he still continued to struggle in the game without getting tired.

Ye Zhou not only played by himself, he also asked Mr. Jiang to play with him.

At first, Ye Zhou wanted to act aggressive in front of Mr. Jiang, show off his skills in the novice game, and make Mr. Jiang look up to him.

Ye Zhou did it, but this pretense was very short-lived. After Mr. Jiang reached enough levels, he would be forced to send out the novice round by the system, and Ye Zhou naturally couldn't continue to play with the trumpet.

He coughed lightly, logged on to his account which had just been promoted to the fifth rank, and pretended to be profound: "Brother Jiang, there are ten ranks in this game, but did you know that 60.00% of the players are stuck at the third rank and cannot advance?" go up."

The implication is that although I only have four paragraphs, I am already very awesome!

Ye Zhou didn't feel guilty at all when he said this, because he really worked hard to get this position. He stayed up all night for this, and the dark circles under his eyes even came out, okay?

And what he said is indeed true. The low rank of the game "Swallow" depends on luck. As the rank increases, the requirements for operation and cooperation with teammates are also constantly increasing.

When you meet cheating teammates, no matter how high your level is, you can’t hold back your teammates’ crazy points. The fourth stage is an important watershed to distinguish rookie players from masters. Many people are stuck in the third stage and have difficulty breaking through for several seasons. Breaking through to the fifth stage in half a month is already very powerful.

Of course, the word "great" here doesn't mean how good his technique is, but how powerful Ye Zhou Caihong farts.

Although Ye Zhou himself is good, but with a mouthful of rainbow farts, he almost blows his teammates to the sky. His original strength of 80.00% can soar to [-]% under his boast.

Most importantly, he played a female number.Judging from Ye Zhou's few game experience, no matter which game it is, as long as the proportion of male players exceeds 60.00%, playing female accounts will definitely surprise you.

It's true that Ye Zhou is handicapped. He is also aware of his broken operation. In line with the principle that the game can be lost, but the appearance must be bought, every time he makes a fashion, he will krypton krypton, regardless of the gaudy appearance, the set is over.

The result of this is that Ye Zhou's character exudes the atmosphere of a local tyrant, he is arrogant, he can blow rainbow farts, he can use a large number of facial expressions freely, and he is also a cute and lovely female character, isn't he just like a fish in water in the game.

The food is a bit too much, but his teammates are willing to take him to the top!

Jiang Tingyuan looked at Ye Zhou on the screen with a sexy figure, a charming face, and special effects all over his body, and he was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Are you playing a female number?"

Ye Zhou didn't think there was anything to be ashamed of at all, and he enthusiastically sold Amway to Boss Jiang: "What's wrong with the female account, the advantages of playing games with the female account are simply not too many, and it's very convenient to mix points. I didn't even think about it just now. No, Brother Jiang, you should change to a female number, so that it will be easier for me to lead you up!"

Mr. Jiang saw that he looked serious and didn't look like he was joking, so he resolutely refused: "No, it's too much trouble, this is fine."

Ye Zhou thought about it and felt right. Since it was difficult to get started, the novice tutorial of Gobble was far more troublesome than the online games on the market. It took half an hour to do a set, which was really troublesome, so he didn't persuade him any more.

I gave Mr. Jiang a few sets of fashion from the mall to guide him to wear them, and while delivering them, he complained to him: "This game is good anywhere, but the appearance is too expensive. It's 388 or 648, and it's fine. The trick is the out-of-print appearance, which needs to be drawn from the lottery pool, 20 yuan for one draw, and thousands of dollars rushing in without even hearing a ring."

Mr. Jiang listened to his complaints without saying a word, and didn't dare to tell Ye Zhou that the out-of-print game of the prize pool was created only after his consent.

After forming a team with President Jiang, they started matching together, but they successfully entered the field in just a dozen seconds.

The three teammates are all male accounts with the same name format, so they should be friends. After entering the picture, Ye Zhou brushed a few cute emojis and politely greeted his teammates.

Probably because of Mr. Jiang's presence, Ye Zhou played very well today as if he was on the hook. Although he couldn't decide the winner or loser, at least he didn't lag behind. Sometimes he even followed his teammates to pick up two kills.

He won three games in a row and got an mvp. Ye Zhou was like a victorious little rooster, his tail was almost raised to the sky, and he asked Mr. Jiang very arrogantly: "How is it? I'm good!"

Looking at his excited look from a distance, Jiang Ting knew that the child had been abused a lot, so he boasted in a very face-saving way: "It's great."

Although there were only two simple words, these words came from Mr. Jiang's mouth, and Ye Zhou was immediately satisfied with the praise. He was so proud, and immediately pulled Mr. Jiang into the battle again.

It’s not always possible to meet good teammates when playing games. On the contrary, the probability of encountering stupid teammates is much higher than that of good teammates. It may be that Ye Zhou was too European in the previous few rounds, and the teammates he met were pretty good , but as the two of them played longer, they encountered more and more stupid teammates, just like now.

[Team] Haw and Haw: Cai Cheng plays with nm's control like this, f*cking idiot!

Ye Zhou was playing a female number, and he looked rich and not easy to mess with, so someone turned his attention to Mr. Jiang.

Although Mr. Jiang's account has a good appearance, he looks easy to bully regardless of his tactics or level, so that when he encounters a headwind, he is regarded as a vent by the most stinky teammates and just spouts.

It's okay for Ye Zhou to be spammed for playing games, but it's absolutely unacceptable to see Mr. Jiang being spammed, so a lot of messages quickly popped up in the chat box, one after another, making people overwhelmed just looking at it.

Jiang Tingyuan was right next to Ye Zhou, watching helplessly as his hands tapped on the keyboard so fast that it almost left an afterimage.

In the game, the three teammates stared dumbfounded at the chat box being flooded with messages one after another. The words were sharp but without any dirty words. The sarcasm almost overflowed the screen and reached the bottom of my heart.

No one expected that the soft and cute girl who was still inseparable from tat and qvq emoji in the last second would change her style of painting in the next second, transforming into a violent old lady to gossip online, and all kinds of mocking methods emerge in endlessly.

The bad-mouthed teammate wanted to confront Ye Zhou at first, but who is Ye Zhou? Wutiao, raised the breath of popularity to the throat, unable to swallow or get out.

At the end of the whole game, the foul-mouthed teammate was so disgusted that he doubted his life, and after a few curses, he quit the team angrily.

Playing games was originally a joy, but it was completely ruined by the appearance of his silly teammates. Ye Zhou wished he could fly directly in front of him and smash his dog's head with the keyboard, and then opened his mouth and stuffed the keyboard in at the end .

Seeing Ye Zhou's anger and lack of interest in playing games, Mr. Jiang patted his head to show comfort, thought for a while and said, "Don't be angry about the game, are you still playing? If you don't play, go out to eat."

Ye Zhou shook his head, drooping his head, not daring to look at Mr. Jiang, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry, Brother Jiang, for causing you to be scolded."

A person like Mr. Jiang may never have been scolded like this since he was a child. How could he be wronged like this? The more Ye Zhou thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He regretted it to the extreme. He should have thought of it a long time ago. There are all kinds of people across the Internet, why do you want to play games with Boss Jiang when you are fine? Has your brain been kicked by a donkey? !

Jiang Tingyuan quit the game, stretched out his hand to pull the person to his side, and said, "Didn't you scold me back for me, why don't you apologize, I am very happy."

"Ah?" Ye Zhou looked blank, a little confused about Mr. Jiang's thinking, even being scolded like that... happy?

Jiang Tingyuan curled up his fingers and tapped his cranky head, with a bit of helplessness in his voice: "I mean, I'm very happy to see you defending me like this."

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, this is what I should do!" Ye Zhou suddenly realized, his usually quick mouth seemed to be knotted suddenly, and he couldn't speak smoothly, and he patted his chest for a while to promise, "Brother Jiang, you Don't worry, I will always be with you no matter what, forever!"

I don't know if it was Ye Zhou's illusion, but just after finishing the guarantee, he actually saw a smile in Mr. Jiang's eyes, but the smile was fleeting and disappeared in the blink of an eye, Ye Zhou just thought he was wrong up.

After that day's accident, Ye Zhou completely stopped playing games with Mr. Jiang, and he didn't even play games for a long time. He went online every day just to report that foul-mouthed teammate. Just go offline and never love to travel.

After all, the life of a dog is more important than pretending to be aggressive.

Just like clocking in like this, he reported for half a month one after another. One day, when Ye Zhou went online again to prepare for today's routine reporting task, he was surprised to find that the other party's business card had already indicated that it did not exist. He searched on the game forum and found out Knowing that the other party has been banned.

Ye Zhou had fun for a long time. In order to thank the game company for actively handling the player's feedback, he charged tens of thousands into it. The store was almost emptied and there were still tens of thousands of game coins that could not be spent. They were all used for lottery draws. , Don't smoke, don't get angry, after a few tens of thousands of smokes, you don't even get a decent appearance, all of Ye Zhou's gratitude to the game company suddenly disappeared.

With less than fifty draws left, Ye Zhou shook his tingling hand, looked at President Jiang, and handed over the phone: "Brother Jiang, give me a draw, I'm going to the bathroom."

Jiang Tingyuan took the phone, briefly checked the lottery rules, and started to help Ye Zhou draw the lottery.

Ye Zhou didn't have any hopes for Mr. Jiang, but he was bored and didn't want to waste it, so he asked Mr. Jiang to help. He didn't expect anything to come out. After all, Mr. Jiang ate dumplings on New Year's Eve and he didn't even have the coins he ate. Much, rather than relying on Mr. Jiang, it is better to draw the reality himself.

But when he came out of the bathroom, he saw the golden light on the phone screen, and when he took a closer look, he found that it was really the out-of-print look he had always wanted. He was instantly shocked.

"Are you going to smoke this?" Jiang Tingyuan shook the phone.

Ye Zhou nodded, "That's right, that's right. I heard that the whole server is limited to ten sets. I paid a lot of money to get in and haven't gotten one yet. Brother Jiang, you're so lucky!"

Taking over the mobile phone and looking at the remaining lottery tickets, Ye Zhou felt mixed feelings. There was no other reason, but Mr. Jiang only used two lottery tickets to get the appearance that he hadn't drawn it at least hundreds of times.

While chasing lemons, I couldn't help sighing in my heart, it seems that eating coins for dumplings is really just for auspiciousness, no matter how many coins you eat, it's still Jiang Geou!

At the beginning of July, "Chasing the Light" began to be screened, and Ye Zhou, who had been a shopkeeper for several months, would finally be forced to start working again in the coming days, and had to travel back and forth between movie theaters across the country with the crew every day.

Even though Ye Zhou had already emphasized with Jing Zhe's publicity department in advance that there is no need for large-scale publicity, it's better to keep a low profile. It's not that Ye Zhou doesn't pay attention to this movie, but the subject matter of this movie is destined to be impossible for mainstream audiences to accept. Failure to be accepted by the mainstream means that the box office will not be much higher. Instead of doing unnecessary publicity, it is better to save this money and use it for other movie promotions.

Jing Zhe's team leader who promoted "Chasing Light" was a girl who looked very young and was very talkative. She accepted all Ye Zhou's requests with a smile and nodded, but it was not certain whether they would be carried out or not.

However, since Ye Zhou decided to let Jing Zhe go, he would naturally not dictate the decisions made by the Jing Zhe team. Ye Zhou would agree to things that he could cooperate with most of the time as long as he did not violate the principles.

On the night of the screening, Ye Zhou organized the crew to come to the theater for the screening. According to his experience, there are a lot of things to prepare on the day of the premiere of the movie. It is good to have more people. He was in a hurry, so Ye Zhou had the foresight to bring someone to help.

But what he didn't expect was that when they passed by, he was surprised to find that the scene had been completely set up, the theaters were properly classified, and there were special movie halls for general audiences, film critics, and the media, where drinks and snacks were promoted. Books and accessories are also ready.

Compared with this one, the screening of "A Farce" is simply a grass-roots team, rough and simple, and it is not on the same level at all.

Everything was perfect. If Ye Zhou hadn't clearly known that "Chasing Light" was a niche movie with a total investment of less than 2000 million, and he was going to this battle, he would have wondered which movie cost hundreds of millions. Come in for screenings of big blockbusters or series!

Ye Zhou pulled the person in charge, with an indescribable look on his face: "Isn't Manager Miao a bit too exaggerated in our battle?"

As long as Ye Zhou was talking, he could see two very familiar film critics entering the theater from a distance. One of them was a well-known up-and-coming film critic in the circle, and the other was Ye Zhou's old friend. Jun Yi, a well-known film critic who publicly spoke to Ye Zhou for the film when "A Farce" was released.

These two are considered to be a handful of elites at the top of the pyramid in terms of fan numbers and popularity. It is obviously not easy to invite them here. Either the movie is gimmick enough, or the organizer is willing to spend a lot of money.

"Chasing the Light" obviously doesn't fit the first category. The only thing that can explain the current situation is the second one. Ye Zhou really can't figure it out. Jingzhe invests in and produces dozens of movies every year. There are many movies to choose from, and there are many excellent works among them. Could it be that Jingzhe has money and nowhere to spend it, so he has to throw the money at him.

Could it be... Mr. Jiang greeted the people in the company, so that he could get such special care?

Miao Qing seemed to see Ye Zhou's confusion, shook her head with a smile, and said, "It's not that we have money and no place to spend it, but because after our discussion, we agreed that "Chasing the Light" is worth it."

Ye Zhou: "..."

"Manager Miao, have you seen this movie?" Ye Zhou hesitated for a moment, but finally asked out his doubts.

It's not that he's not confident, it's because the subject matter is too limited, and he doesn't have the qualifications to seize the box office from the market. Movies shouldn't have said such things.

"Of course." The smile on Miao Qing's face deepened, and she was not annoyed after being questioned, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Ye, I didn't intend to waste my energy on this unpleasant movie at first. There are so many movies, we have a lot of movies to choose from as a marketing department.”

"The marketing department has a total of 12 teams, and each team has [-] people as a team. Each team only has the opportunity to use the company's resources twice a year for publicity. This opportunity is undoubtedly very precious. Jingzhe is different from other companies. Once the film's final box office is confirmed, The team in charge of marketing is eligible to receive a share of the box office directly from the company."

"In other words, the box office of each film determines the level of bonuses we can get at this stage, so...we will not waste energy and resources on films that we are not sure about, especially such precious resources, Do you understand me when I say that?"

After Miao Qing finished speaking, she looked at Ye Zhou, and the smile in her eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness and solemnity: "Please believe in the professionalism and vision of me and my team. After watching it no less than [-] times, and having held meetings no less than [-] times, I finally think that the quality of "Chasing Light" is worth the risk we take for it."

Ye Zhou's expression was a bit complicated. As the director, he personally created this movie from scratch step by step. It took more than half a year to nitpick and polish this movie. No one knows this movie better than him. As a director, he didn't even have any expectations for the box office, but now someone told him very seriously that they were very optimistic about this movie, and they didn't hesitate to invest a lot of excellent resources.

After a long time, Ye Zhou sighed, and sincerely said to Miao Qing: "Thank you, Manager Miao, I hope you can get what you want, and I also hope that "Chasing Light" can live up to your trust and not let you down."

The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say anything, Ye Zhou has even started to think in his heart, if it is impossible to wait for the box office to rush, he will pay them a bonus with a sum of money out of his own pocket.

There was still half an hour before the movie screening. Ye Zhou stood in the bathroom and lit a cigarette slowly. Looking at himself in the mirror, he had seen this face countless times, but he still felt strange, and a kind of After a long absence, it suddenly dawned on me.

When Ye Zhou was standing in front of the mirror in a daze, the door of the bathroom was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and then a person squeezed in. The person looked inside, as if looking for someone, when he saw Ye Zhou Behind his back, he whispered uncertainly, "Director Ye?"

Ye Zhou turned around when he heard the sound, and was surprised when he saw the person coming: "Why are you here? Isn't the schedule very tight recently?"

Zhu Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had not mistaken the wrong person. He closed the bathroom door, looked Ye Zhou up and down, and sighed while watching: "Director Ye, you must have eaten very well recently. You look fatter than last time I saw you." some!"

Ye Zhou was amused by him, imitating his appearance, walked around Zhu Ning, nodded with satisfaction, and said with emotion: "You are not bad, you look much better than before, how are you doing recently?" , Your manager didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

"No, don't worry, Ye Dao." Zhu Ning said, took two steps towards Ye Zhou, leaned into his ear and said, "I'll play with you after I've dealt with the last troubles here." .”

Ye Zhou was startled, and soon understood the meaning of his words, glanced at the surrounding environment, didn't say anything more, just reached out and patted Zhu Ning's thin shoulder: "If you are in trouble, just say it, don't force yourself Carry, I'm waiting for you."

Zhu Ning was originally in a stable mood, but when he heard Ye Zhou's words, he still couldn't hold back, his eye circles turned red all of a sudden, he pursed his lips and took a few deep breaths before finally calming down the impulse, trying to make his voice He sounded happier, and said: "I came here with Brother Xiaofei today, he is outside, let's go out quickly."

The brother Xiao Fei that Zhu Ning is talking about is none other than Xie Gefei, the actor who played No. [-] in "A Farce".

When the two went out from the bathroom, they saw Xie Gefei waiting not far from the door, holding a bucket of popcorn in his hand, and waving at them from a distance.

The three of them hadn't been together much since the filming of "A Farce". Naturally, they had a lot to talk about when they met. The two chatted with Ye Zhou for a while before entering the theater.

With only 10 minutes left until the movie started, Ye Zhou met two more acquaintances. This time, it was the director He Feiyang and the screenwriter Liu Zhao who were currently filming "Tears Behind the Bar".

Seeing the two of them, Ye Zhou was also a little surprised. If he remembers correctly, "Tears Behind the Bar" should be a time of intense filming, especially with Zhong Yingdi, a great god, every minute and every second is precious, and it is hard work. To squeeze out time to attend the screening of his films, of course it would be a lie to say that he was not moved.

Not long after sending the two of them in, Xu Wei rushed over out of breath, followed by a few young men with outstanding looks, who were very stylish when they came.

"Mr. Ye, this is the champion of each province's audition competition area during our program. I'll take the opportunity of your order to show it to you today. At present, there are only a few provinces left in the audition. Then formally bring them over to see you!" Xu Wei said, and after the young people behind her greeted Ye Zhou, she took them in together.

After sending Xu Wei away, it was almost time. Ye Zhou and Miao Qing turned around and prepared to go in after a word of explanation. After walking two steps, they heard a series of shouts from behind.

"Brother Ye!"

"Mr. Ye!"

Ye Zhou turned around and was stunned. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and asked, "Shouldn't you guys be competing in City D today? Why are you here?"

Everyone was a little embarrassed due to the violent running, Xu Cheng and the others looked at each other and said in unison: "We will rush over as soon as the game is over!"

When they were talking, Ye Zhou saw Boss Jiang coming out of the elevator.

Come on, everyone is here!
