From a professional villain to an all-around superstar

Chapter 185 Shooting Wolf Warriors Causes Controversy

With the establishment of Ye Chen's studio, the capital once again focused on Ye Chen.

That afternoon, the relevant persons in charge sent by the capital, as well as the bosses of some small companies, Yang Mi and Xiao Di, as well as some of Ye Chen's friends, took their seats in the conference room one after another.

Ye Chen sat in the main seat.

This is also the first external meeting of Xingchen Studio.

After Ye Chen looked around, under the eager eyes of the capital, he said straight to the point: "Everyone, next, Star Studio will release its first film."

"Since everyone is here to support me today, I will also tell you the next step plan, and then the bosses will make their own decisions, or they can report to the bosses behind the scenes."

"If it is possible, then we will start the next step of cooperation."

After the words fell, everyone in the conference room began to whisper.

Of course, everyone was very excited.

In their opinion, the first work created by Ye Chen Xingchen Studio must be a comedy. After all, Ye Chen had just achieved great success in comedy.

Before these people in charge came, their bosses had already put down their words. As long as it was a comedy, or a villain movie starring Marven Ye, they could be won directly without any reporting.

But this time, Ye Chen once again disappointed everyone.

Ye Chen quickly revealed the first work of his studio.

"I have a script in my hand now. It is a patriotic film with a military theme. The budget requires huge financial support. If you..."

Ye Chen got straight to the point.

This script is the popular movie "Wolf Warrior 2" in his previous life that Ye Chen exchanged for the system's popularity points.

However, in this world, "Wolf Warrior 1" does not exist, so Ye Chen directly calls it "Wolf Warrior".

Ye Chen decided that his studio's first work would be to shoot this "Wolf Warrior".

Ye Chen also wrote and directed it, and played the role of the tough guy Leng Feng.

And he wants to raise funds, and the funds are quite large, one billion.

The main reason why I invested in this movie was because this movie was a huge success in its previous life.

Moreover, Ye Chen has the strength of a god-level soldier, so he plays the role of Leng Feng, a special soldier, almost in his true self.

The only problem with this movie is that it's too expensive.

Because they needed to go to Africa for filming, many of which were big scenes, Ye Chen's budget was estimated to be one billion.

When Ye Chen revealed his plan, everyone was stunned.

"What the hell, a billion?"

"A military-themed movie costs one billion?"

"It's crazy. It's not like Dragon Kingdom military-themed movies have never been made. Not long ago, Li Chen made a movie called "The Sky Split" and it was a complete mess."

"That's right. Experts in the industry have already concluded that people from the Dragon Kingdom simply cannot make military-themed movies."

……

In the conference room, everyone gasped when they heard Le Yechen's plan.

Then everyone started whispering.

Many people in charge even took out their mobile phones and contacted their bosses to ask for advice.

The bosses of small capital also had cold sweat on their foreheads.

The previous film "Charlotte Trouble" only invested 6000 million, but this time Ye Chen actually invested [-] billion.

And the most important thing is that Ye Chen is filming a military-themed movie.

This investment can be said to be very generous in the film industry.

But the problem is that what Ye Chen is filming is not the villain he is good at, nor is it a comedy that has just been successful, but a patriotic military-themed movie that he has never touched before.

At this time, everyone thought that Ye Chen was crazy!
The success of several movies, coupled with the newly won Best Actor Award, made Ye Chen already drifting away.

Some time ago, the failure of "Sky Crack" has made everyone in Longguo understand a truth.

Big-budget military-themed movies will not work in the Dragon Kingdom.

Even after "Split the Sky" was released, foreign media specifically reported on this matter.

A famous foreign director even openly said: "Dragon Kingdom does not have the ability to make such war movies, so they only make small-scale movies."

Regarding this statement, although many fans of Dragon Kingdom are very upset, they have nothing to say.

After all, in recent years, there have been almost no movies with Dragon Kingdom military themes.

"The Sky Split" was also shot with huge sums of money, but the result was a huge loss.

Now Ye Chen didn't learn his lesson and wanted to make military-themed movies, which made everyone unbelievable.

Yang Mi and Xiao Di beside Ye Chen were also shocked when they heard Ye Chen's plan.

They knew that after Ye Chen established his studio, he would never be content with being lonely.

There will even be big moves soon.

But they never expected that Ye Chen would be filming a military-themed movie.

"war Wolf"?
The name of the script made Yang Mi feel like he was about to rush to the street.

In recent years, it’s not like military-themed movies haven’t been made.

But as foreign experts said, all of them fell to the street without any accident.

Even within the industry, they almost agree with what foreign experts say. Long Guo does not have the strength to make a successful military-themed movie.

Yang Mi and Xiao Di couldn't understand either.

Ye Chen obviously had many choices.

Regardless of whether it is a comedy or a villain, with the previous popularity, there is a high probability of success.

But Ye Chen chose to shoot military themes.

This guy can't really drift away.

Because although they support Ye Chen's career from the bottom of their hearts.

But a billion investment is too big and too risky.

There is also a limit to how much they can help Ye Chen.

"What do Ye Chen think? Why did he invest one billion in his first movie?"

"I made a military movie a few years ago, and the audience didn't buy it at all."

"Well, what should I say? If Xiaoye invests, I will invest a little to support him."

……

Marven's friends were also talking about it.

To be honest, they made a lot of money last time they invested in "Charlotte Trouble".

But if Ye Chen wants to make a military-themed movie, they really don't have confidence.

Despite this, these friends of Ye Chen still decided to support Ye Chen.

This also shows that the friends Ye Chen has made are quite good.

But the ideas of those capitals are completely different.

"Mr. Ye, I just communicated with our boss."

The person in charge of Huaying said solemnly: "If you make a villain movie or a comedy movie starring you, our company will fully support it, but if you make a movie with a military theme, then we have no choice but to give up."

In addition, the person in charge of the film and television giant Eagle King also said: "Our boss means the same thing. If the movie you shoot is a villain or comedy movie, we will fully support it and all resources can be tilted to you, but military themes..."

Generally speaking, everyone really wants to cooperate with Ye Chen.

But the premise is that Ye Chen wants to shoot a comedy movie or a movie in which Ye Chen plays a villain.

As for military themes...

As the person in charge of Huaying said:
"At present, our Dragon Kingdom movies, patriotic movies with military themes, are still far behind the same type of movies abroad. Therefore, it is too risky for them to invest in Ye Chen to shoot military movies!"
