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

Ye Zhou stared at the phone in a daze for a few seconds, then subconsciously asked, "Who are you?"

The person on the other end of the phone wanted to say something, but now he heard Ye Zhou's question and couldn't speak or swallow it. After a long silence, he said, "I'm Cheng Ran."

It was probably because he hadn't heard the name for so long that Ye Zhou almost didn't remember who Cheng Ran was when he heard it so suddenly.

After a long time, Ye Zhou was so busy that he was dizzy every day. Ye Zhou couldn't remember how long he hadn't heard the name of Chengran. In his impression, the last time he heard about him was when "A Farce" was released.

At that time, Cheng Ran and the protagonist Gong Jiangyu's movie was also released during the National Day Golden Week, and finally "A Farce" exploded, but their movie didn't seem to cause any splashes.

At that time, Ye Zhou wondered, wasn’t it the halo of the protagonist that he had promised? Why didn’t it work this time? Could it be that Jiang Yu spent a lot of money to shoot “War City 2” and changed the plot of the original text himself, causing the plot to be messed up. The protagonist's halo didn't work?

But Ye Zhou didn't look into it carefully. After all, no matter how downcast the protagonist is, he is still the protagonist. It's his turn to worry about this little cannon fodder, so Ye Zhou just thought about it casually, and was busy with other things when he couldn't figure it out. Don't care about them anymore.

But who would have thought that instead of looking for the protagonist Gong Shou, the protagonist Shou Chengran came to the door by himself.

Ye Zhou thought for a while, but he was not in a hurry to hang up the phone. He put on a flat voice and started to play dumb: "Do we know each other?"

According to the original plot, the original body should have been in contact with the protagonist Gong Shou at this time, and even flirted with each other in private, planning to plot against Jiang Tingyuan.

But since Ye Zhou passed through, except for the first meeting at the auction, he has not had any interaction with the protagonist Gong Shou. Watching them is like watching some germs, and he can't hide. How can it be the same as that in the plot? It's like taking the initiative to move up.

Even at the auction, the two parties had no other communication other than bidding, so Ye Zhou was pretending to be stupid at this time, and Cheng Ran really couldn't say anything.

When Cheng Ran heard his casual voice, his expression turned ugly.

"Is there anything else, if not, I'll hang up the phone?" Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Ye Zhou said unhurriedly.

I can't say why, but Ye Zhou is very unwilling to have any contact with the protagonist Gong Shou.

After saying this, Ye Zhou didn't give him another chance to speak, and hung up the phone directly. In order to prevent the other party from calling again, he even turned off the phone in a desperate manner.

After turning off the phone, Ye Zhou smiled apologetically at Ren Zian who was opposite, and the two resumed chatting about the topic they hadn't finished talking just now.

Ren Zian's work this time is called "Horror Circus", which continues his previous horror and bloody style. It mainly tells the story of a group of tourists who fell into a coma due to a strange fog while watching a circus performance. When they woke up again, they found themselves in a cage. Among them, the only task is to escape from the circus alive.

After reading the synopsis of the story, Ye Zhou couldn't help but ask, "How many people survived in the end?"

Seeing that Ye Zhou was interested in his story, Ren Zian saw that the previous anxiety was no longer on his face, but was replaced by excitement. He gave Ye Zhou a mysterious smile and shook his head slowly: "It's boring to talk about it, if you are interested , I can send you the full version of the script, this story needs to be read from the beginning to be interesting."

He refused to talk about it, and Ye Zhou didn't insist on breaking the casserole. He shook his head with a smile and said, "Okay, then if you are free, you can send me the script."

Even if he didn't give an answer, with his understanding of the screenwriter's previous work style, Ye Zhou almost knew it.

When Ren Zian heard that Ye Zhou agreed to read his script, he was overjoyed and couldn't hide his excitement. He responded repeatedly: "Of course, if you are interested, I, I am free anytime!"

"Just take a look first, and don't have too much hope. I have never made this type of movie before. I can only give you an answer if I have a preliminary understanding of the script."

Ye Zhou's words were not false. In the world he lived in in his previous life, because horror movies couldn't show real ghosts, and couldn't be too bloody and violent, it was difficult for horror movies to make money.

Therefore, in this genre, the domestic market is basically in a long-term vacant state, and the few films that can be sold and called masterpieces are all ancient films that have not been promulgated decades ago.

It's not that there are no directors who are willing to shoot, but Ye Zhou was more obsessed with money in his previous life. He can't make money like this. There are a lot of rules and regulations. After finally finishing the film, he may even be stuck for a few years and cannot be released. He doesn't even get involved. willing to stick.

Although Ye Zhou didn't agree straight away, it was a surprise to Ren Zian that he was willing to read the script first.

To be honest, before finding Ye Zhou, it's not that Ren Zian didn't find other directors, let alone talked with the managers he was familiar with before. However, because the grading system has just started to be implemented, the current environment is still in a very cautious state.

It has been a year since the rating system was promulgated, and there are very few R-rated movies, and most of the few movies that are classified as R-rated are relatively conservative, and movies that are too outrageous have not appeared so far.

No one dares to be the first person to eat crabs. The manpower, material resources and funds required to shoot a movie are not small. Once the movie is finished and cannot pass the review, all the previous investment will be in vain.

For the director, more than ten months or even years of painstaking efforts have been wasted. If he has this time to take risks with Ren Zian, it is better to shoot something else. Why take such a big risk for him.

For the employer, the loss is even greater. Fortunately, a large company has ample funds, and losing money will not cause much loss, but a small company will be in trouble. It is not unheard of if the capital chain is directly broken. things.

Ren Zi'an had approached several directors who had worked with him before, and most of the directors who were far away from him politely declined, and most of them who had a better relationship were persuading him to wait until the situation stabilized before talking about filming this film. movie thing.

Wait, wait, it's not that Ren Zi'an doesn't listen, or that he doesn't understand his old friend's kindness, but...

How long will it take to wait, he is no longer young, and he is no longer a fledgling kid, etc. It is easy to say, but how much time can be used in a person's life to wait.

He didn't want to wait, didn't want to wait, and couldn't wait anymore.

Ren Zian hardly had a good night's sleep during this time, and traveled around with the script every day. His requirements were not high, and he only wanted to seek an opportunity.

When Ren Zian solemnly handed over the thick script, which was somewhat curled at the corners due to long-term reading, to Ye Zhou, the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.

This was an inexplicable feeling. Even though Ye Zhou hadn't given him an affirmative answer, his intuition told Ren Zian that he would agree, and he would definitely agree.

After parting with Ren Zian, Ye Zhou originally wanted to go to pick the stars, but remembering the phone call the protagonist Shou gave him, he immediately changed his mind and decided not to go anywhere, but to just go home and lie down. The province's new problems will arise again.

You can never guess what the protagonist of a bloody novel is thinking, what he will do, whether he can't hide if he can't be provoked.

However, it turns out that the protagonist's aura is real, and as long as the protagonist is thought about, he really can't hide it.

Ye Zhou looked at the figure loitering in front of his house from a distance, suppressed the desire to run away, put on a hat for himself, lowered his head, and tried to get away with it when he wasn't paying attention.

But soon Ye Zhou discovered that this trick would not work.

He frantically waved his arms almost helplessly, and while waving he didn't forget to shout: "What are you doing! What are you doing! Who are you, you, let go, I'm calling security, I'm calling, I'm really calling!"

Cheng Ran: "..."

Cheng Ran didn't expect Ye Zhou to have such a big reaction. He was relatively thin. In order to make himself look thinner, the food he ate every day was basically only for the basic needs of his body, but Ye Zhou was different.

Not only is Ye Zhou in good health and delicious food, he has lived with Mr. Jiang for so long, not only has he corrected his bad mouth, but even the most difficult habit of staying up late in his previous life has now been corrected. The three meals are very punctual, and even the daily food is adjusted by a professional nutritionist.

In addition to the various calcium tablets and tonics that Mr. Jiang forced to eat from time to time to supplement nutrition and vitamins, Ye Zhou's weight skyrocketed. If he didn't insist on exercising every day, his stomach would probably come out.

To sum up, under Ye Zhou's violent struggle, Cheng Ran, who was pulling his sleeve, was almost unable to stand still. If he hadn't let go of his hand in time, he might have fallen to the ground.

Seeing his weak willow Fufeng's appearance, Ye Zhou, Ye Zhou was also silent, so thin, his face and his appearance are simply severely malnourished. I'm afraid he didn't grow up eating grass every day.

After a preliminary evaluation of the protagonist, Ye Zhou confirmed that he was really a war scum, so he gradually stopped his dangling body. Because he was shaking too hard before, even though he stopped, his arms still swayed habitually. shaken.

Ye Zhou knew the consultant bluntly: "Who are you?"

Cheng Ran managed to stand still, and when he heard this familiar question again, he almost turned away angrily.

His pale face was instantly flushed with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm Cheng Ran."

Ye Zhou: "Do we know each other?"

Cheng Ran's chest heaved violently. He stared at Ye Zhou for a long time and couldn't speak. His teeth were chattering. He took a few deep breaths to calm down. Before he could open his mouth, his eye circles turned red.

"It's my fault. Let me introduce myself briefly. My name is Cheng Ran, and I'm Jiang Yu's boyfriend..."

Before he finished speaking, Ye Zhou received another soul crit.

Ye Zhou: "Who is Jiang Yu?"

Cheng Ran's chest heaved violently again. He looked around at the security guards who were gradually walking towards this side due to the movement just now, suppressed the anger in his heart, pointed to the door, and forced a smile: "Some things are not good outside. It’s too convenient to talk about it, why don’t we go in and talk about it first?”

Ye Zhou looked at him inexplicably, shook his head decisively and refused: "Don't, what's the matter with you, we don't know each other, why come up and come into my house."

While the two were talking, several security guards had already rushed over. They knew Ye Zhou. Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, two security guards immediately blocked Ye Zhou without a trace.

The remaining security captain asked Ye Zhou about the situation: "Mr. Ye, are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm fine." Ye Zhou waved his hands again and again, but looked at Cheng Ran with meaningful eyes, hooked his hands at the security captain, and the other party came over and whispered something in his ear.

The security captain nodded with a serious expression, took out his mobile phone and directly dialed 120 emergency number.

"Sir, please hold on a little longer. I've already called the emergency number, and an ambulance will come right away." As he spoke, the security captain saw his pale face, hesitated for a moment, and said to his colleague, "This gentleman is not feeling well. , you two carry him to the door."

"Yes!" Hearing the leader's words, one of the security guards bent down.

With the help of another security guard, Cheng Ran was forced to lie on the security guard's back. He was sweating from anxiety and struggled all the time, but his small body was no match for the professionally trained security guard.

So, Ye Zhou watched with relief as Cheng Ran was carried away by the security guards.
