Rebirth of the evil daddy

The next day, Ye Chen received a call from Lu Yuan.

Because Lu Yuan has been messing with Wang Xiaocong recently, he has met a lot of people in the entertainment industry.

"Brother Ye, I recently met a friend in the entertainment industry, he now has a good book in his hand, and he wants to make a movie, but there is a problem with the funds, so he wants to find some investment, do you think this project can be invested?"

It turned out that Lu Yuan had dinner with friends in the circle recently, and someone mentioned this matter.

Lu Yuan also happened to have some spare money in his hand, so he was a little tempted to hear it.

However, as to whether this project could be invested, Lu Yuan still decided to ask Ye Chen's idea first, and only after getting Ye Chen's prompt did he dare to invest.

If he makes a steady profit and does not lose money, he will naturally invest without hesitation.

But if Ye Chen said that he would lose money, then he would directly refuse.

"Looking for you to pull investment?"

"Okay, you name a place, I'll help you see if this script is worth the investment."

Hearing this, Ye Chen was also very curious.

has the memory of his previous life, which movie makes money and which movie loses money, Ye Chen knows it clearly.

Although Ye Chen doesn't have much contact with the entertainment industry, he also knows that the entertainment industry is now the cold winter of the film and television industry, and many projects are pulling funds.

And of course, there are some insider stories in this, which are what the audience often calls unspoken rules.

A wealthy family like Lu Yuan is not short of money, even if his annual living expenses are fixed.

It's just that there are few such wealthy families, and they want to prove to their families how strong their earning power is.

Although he is not involved in the management of the family business now, his father will hand over the property to him step by step according to his earning ability.

This is like Wang Xiaocong.

His father knew that his son wanted to start a business, so he directly took out 500 million yuan and asked his son to start a business.

It doesn't matter if you even lose money, even if you pay tuition.

Lu Yuan's father also thinks the same way about Lu Yuan.

Therefore, Lu Yuan often invests in some projects, and has made a lot of money with Ye Chen in the past few years, but this has also caused him to rely more and more on Ye Chen.

No matter what you invest in, you will ask Ye Chen.

Previously, Wang Xiaocong founded a live broadcast platform, and Lu Yuan had already invested 50 million.

And this investment has now made a lot of money for Lu Yuan.

In short, now Lu Yuan has decided that as long as he follows Ye Chen's footsteps to invest, then the money he earns will definitely not be less.

Even according to Ye Chen's prompt, the 50 million is likely to help him multiply several times in the end.

It is also very possible to earn 100 million.

It is precisely because it is very profitable to invest with Ye Chen, so Lu Yuan trusts Ye Chen even more.

This time, Lu Yuan accidentally contacted friends in the entertainment industry, and several big directors were pulling investment for their scripts during dinner, so they found Lu Yuan here.

For movies, Lu Yuan was not familiar with it at all, and he should refuse without hesitation.

But thinking about it, he still decided to give Ye Chen a call and listen to Ye Chen's opinion.

After all, what will happen to this script in the end, whether it will make money or lose money, Lu Yuan has no bottom in his heart.

For the film and television industry, Lu Yuan is basically a layman.

But Ye Chen is different, Ye Chen's intuition is very accurate, and Lu Yuan has also thought about it, as long as Brother Ye says that this movie can be invested, he will not hesitate to invest.

Otherwise, give up.

Hearing Ye Chen say that he wanted to come over, Lu Yuan immediately sent Ye Chen an address.

Ye Chen glanced at the address, it was not far from Ye Chen's place, and it was only half an hour away by car.

Ye Chen changed his clothes and went out and drove straight to his destination.

"Brother Ye, this is Director Wu, and he is also a very famous actor, you must have seen his movies before."

Ye Chen didn't expect that it was the famous movie star Wu Jin who asked for help this time.

"Hello Ye Shao, I'm Wu Jin, thank you very much for being here."

Wu Jin saw Lu Yuan's attitude towards Ye Chen, and immediately knew that Ye Chen in front of him might be the real gold master, and his attitude towards Ye Chen was also extremely complimentary. He

understood that as long as Ye Chen was convinced, the investment would definitely be stable.

Otherwise, not to mention that Ye Chen would not be able to invest, even Lu Dashao beside him might not invest a penny.

Now he is very optimistic about this script.

It's just that the problem of funding has not been solved.

So Wu Jin was also very anxious to find a script.

"Hello Director Wu, I have seen your movies before, and I am also your fan, I admire your acting skills very much, and your determination to pursue and struggle for the film industry, if you can cooperate, I think it must be a very pleasant thing."

The impression of Wu Jin Yechen is also very good, whether it is in the past or present life, this movie star has no scandals.

"If Ye Shao says so, then I am very much looking forward to our cooperation."

Hearing Ye Chen's sincere look, Wu Jin's face also showed a smile, and at this time, he also took out the script he had prepared a long time ago and put it in front of Ye Chen.

"Ye Shao, this is the movie I want to make, you can watch it first, if you think it's okay, then we can talk about investment next."

At this time, Wu Jin also regarded Ye Chen as his gold master, and there was also an expression of expectation in his eyes.

At this time, Lu Yuan, the initial investor, also stood obediently in front of Ye Chen.

After all, Wu Jin was very smart, and he had already seen that Lu Yuan in front of Ye Chen was just playing soy sauce.

"Wolf Warrior 2?"

Seeing the name of this script, Ye Chen's heart was also a little surprised.

"Director Wu, if I'm not mistaken, you've already filmed a wolf warrior before, is this one a sequel to the previous one?"

Seeing this script, Ye Chen couldn't help but ask.

Because half a year ago, Wu Jin had already filmed a wolf warrior.

At that time, the box office of that film seemed to be pretty good, about hundreds of millions.

With the foreshadowing of the first work, and the results are not bad, it stands to reason that Wu Jin should not lack investment.

But now Wu Jin doesn't seem to have found an investor.

Listening to Ye Chen's words, Wu Jin also smiled bitterly.

"It seems that Ye Shao still knows a little about my movie, I did make one before, and the total box office was about more than 500 million, but the cost of that movie was high, and I didn't make much money after deducting the cost."

Wu Jin didn't hide it, and told Ye Chen what happened in 1510.

Ye Chen also nodded after listening to Wu Jin's introduction.

Then Ye Chen looked at the script of this movie, and finally looked at the production cost of the movie, 130 million.

And that's not counting the cost of publicity, and in the end, the total investment in this movie should reach about 200 million.

For a movie of 200 million, if you want to return to the cost, you need at least 600 million.

And if you really want to make money, the box office will even reach 600 million to 800 million.

Therefore, according to the current market, this investment is still very risky.
