Chapter 294 What era are we living in? Kneeling is no longer allowed!
"Ah Le, you're amazing! Quick, I'm bowing down in admiration!"
Zhang Zihao's eyes shone, his voice trembled, and he was extremely excited.
Although he had trusted Chen Le before and felt reassured, he only realized how monstrous this guy really was when the box office results came out.
The script, written on a whim, with the lowest possible cost and the most frugal marketing, completely outshone that of the top screenwriter.
Even Huayi Brothers is currently producing films with huge investments from two major film companies.
They were all rubbed against the ground.
A film with minimal budget achieved top box office success!
Who would believe that?!
"Brother Hao, you're being redundant. You know how capable Brother Le is!"
"Anyway, I've never been worried. I'm just waiting for the box office results so I can make money!"
Chu Yaoyang grinned and said.
"Are you sure you can handle this? Damn it, you've been the most nervous these past few days, you've even been talking in your sleep from fright!"
"You took a few girls to the movies last night, didn't you? The little bit of box office revenue you contributed, how could it possibly affect the overall picture? How about I reimburse you?"
Zhang Zihao showed no mercy, exposed the truth on the spot, and started making sarcastic remarks!
Chu Yaoyang blushed instantly!
"Haha, it's our own movie, of course we have to support it!"
"But you know what, Brother Le's script really opened my eyes! You can't tell from the script, but watching the show is really interesting!"
"By the way, Brother Le, how did you write that?"
Chu Yaoyang looked at Chen Le with extreme admiration and asked!
"Alright, alright, you lot, stop flattering me!"
Chen Le laughed and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Go to the notary office quickly and get back the money that Jin Zipeng and Zhou Tong owe you!"
Zhang Zihao chuckled, rubbed his hands together, and said, "Don't worry, A-Le, I already had someone urge them to hurry up!"
"Damn it! We didn't bother with them at the last film and television gala! Let's see if they're still so arrogant this time!"
"If they dare to renege on their debt this time, let's make them look bad in the media!"
As Zhang Zihao spoke, he immediately stood up, straightened his suit, and looked radiant.
"Wait a minute, Brother Hao, I'll go with you!"
Chu Yaoyang, who loved watching a good show, jumped three feet high and said, "I want to see the expressions on these two guys' faces. It'll be absolutely hilarious, hahaha!"
Chen Le sat in the chair, shook his head speechlessly, and had a faint smile on his face.
These two are indispensable in these kinds of situations.
Then, the two of them walked out of the office together.
at this moment.
There was a knock on the door.
Chen Le thought for a moment and then said, "Please come in."
Then I saw Lin Tianxiong, Director Feng, and Shen Fei, the lead actor of the film, all walk into the office.
The three people stood in front of the desk and bowed simultaneously, all in perfect unison.
Especially the lead actor, Shen Fei, had a face full of excitement.
Just a few days ago, I felt like I had hit rock bottom.
He was dumped, betrayed by his girlfriend, and stabbed in the back by his relatives. The whole company knew about it, creating a chaotic atmosphere.
And now.
But it has already reached its peak.
He feels like he's dreaming.
Three or four hundred million in box office revenue!
The lead actor in this box office dark horse film was actually himself.
It feels like a lifetime ago!
Lin Tianxiong, standing next to him, was already red with excitement.
Before, he was just a lousy stage actor, old and not very capable.
But I dream of making a successful film.
However, the film, which he had poured all his resources into making, failed to gain any traction in the market, leading to a dire situation and bringing the theater to the brink of bankruptcy.
It has now been acquired by Chen Le.
At first, he, like everyone else, had doubts about Chen Le, the capitalist, but it was just a passing fancy.
The so-called dream has long been put aside.
When Chen Le refused to cooperate with Zhou Tong, Lin Tianxiong felt even more indignant, feeling that he had followed the wrong person, had been neglected, and that President Chen was unworthy of his title.
I am utterly disappointed.
Until this film was shot.
Until filming wrapped.
It has now grossed over 3.7 million yuan at the box office.
Lin Tianxiong then realized.
What is the gap?
That's the difference!!
We're all human, yet Chen Le has managed to achieve such excellence!
No one could have imagined that this film would achieve such great success!
As a former CEO who understands content, how could he not know the value of Chen Le's work?
A script I wrote on a whim—that's the goose that lays the golden eggs!
What do you call such a person? You call them a god!
Lin Tianxiong looked at Chen Le, his knees went weak, and he wished he could kneel down and shout that the God of Literature had descended to earth.
"Mr. Chen, I won't say much more. I just want to ask when we'll start filming our next script!"
Director Feng asked excitedly and expectantly.
My mouth is watering.
This old devil, ever since he filmed his first movie with Chen Le...
They've already become completely dependent on this powerful figure.
He went from being a down-on-his-luck director to becoming a well-known and highly regarded director.
Now, his second film, Summer Troubles, has become a huge hit, solidifying his status as a top director!
Those colleagues who used to look down on him now call him to curry favor, and they're willing to host expensive dinners for him.
Now he has to act like a tycoon whenever he speaks or does anything.
"Um...Mr. Chen..."
Shen Fei's throat bobbed, his face was covered in tears, and he actually knelt down on the ground.
"I'm not good with words, and I don't know how else to express it, but I just wanted to thank you in person!!"
Chen Le was a benefactor in his life, and even more so, his savior.
Some time ago, he lost faith in life.
I lost my love.
The future is bleak.
He even considered going back to his hometown to live in seclusion, giving up his dream and quitting acting.
It was Chen Le who kept him.
He was given a chance.
The film's recent popularity has made him a highly sought-after celebrity.
He was even destined to win numerous awards based on this film.
She has already established her identity and status in the film and television industry.
His net worth skyrocketed.
Even the most basic advertisement now costs at least 50 yuan.
Upon seeing this, Chen Le quickly got up and pulled Shen Fei up from the ground.
"What era are we living in? Are you still stuck in that movie? A man's knees are worth gold! Don't you understand?"
"In the future, when filming, you must remain humble and composed. No matter how famous you become, you must not forget your original intentions. That is enough."
Chen Le laughed, patted Shen Fei on the shoulder, and earnestly advised him:
"Remember, Fei, I don't expect you to stay with our company forever, but I hope that even if you sign with another company to make movies, you won't take on bad films, and you won't ruin your original aspirations for profit!!"
Chen Le has lived two lives, so this can be seen as a piece of advice from a senior to a junior.
His words would influence Shen Fei's entire life.
"Mr. Chen, I'm not leaving. Even if I have to stay and work as a cleaner, I won't leave no matter how much you try to force me!"
Shen Fei's lips were trembling as he grabbed Chen Le's arms and spoke with utmost seriousness.
Chen Le smiled and said, "With acting skills as good as yours, isn't it a waste of your talent to be a cleaner?"
"Now that you're a top-tier celebrity, you'll be very busy from now on."
"I'll be writing another script in the next few days. I'll give it to you then, and you and Ma Yu can study it carefully and figure out the characters and their personalities!"
When Shen Fei heard that Chen Le wanted to write another script, he was overjoyed. His eyes lit up, he wiped away his tears, and a surprised smile appeared on his face.
