From villain specialist to all-around superstar

Chapter 146 Ye Chen wants to transform into a comedy, leaving for better protection
Li Xiaomeng is now quite famous in the industry.

There are even companies that offer high prices and want to poach her.

Li Xiaomeng was not distracted because she knew that her job could be completed by another agent.

Even better and more professional than her.

After all, she has today's identity and status not only because of her own hard work, but also because of Ye Chen's excellence.

Li Xiaomeng suddenly remembered what Yang Mi had said to her.

Last year, when she became Ye Chen's assistant, Yang Mi told her.

Although Li Xiaomeng has little work experience and it is her first time to lead an artist, Ye Chen is an artist with potential. As long as she takes good care of Ye Chen, it will be enough for her to have enough food and clothing for a lifetime, and she can also make a small name in the industry. fame.

Li Xiaomeng did not expect that it would be realized so quickly.

Everything she had was brought to her by Ye Chen.

Of course, Li Xiaomeng also has his own advantages, such as being obedient and working hard enough, which Ye Chen also likes.

The cooperation between Li Xiaomeng and Ye Chen is also very happy.

Rather than working, it is better to say that he is living with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen is not like those celebrities who are aloof because of their fame. He has no airs at all.

Li Xiaomeng even felt that Ye Chen was more like a big brother.

In the evening, Ye Chen invited Yang Mi and Xiao Di to his home for dinner.

Ye Chen cooked himself and made a table of delicious food.

With the addition of master-level cooking skills, Ye Chen's cooking was even comparable to that of a five-star chef.

The three girls, Yang Mi, Xiao Di and Li Xiaomeng, quickly cleared the dishes on the table.

On the contrary, Ye Chen didn't eat much.

Xiao Di was dissatisfied and said: "Oh, I want to lose weight. Chenchen, why are the dishes you cook so delicious? I can't stop eating."

Yang Mi nodded: "Xiaoye, you are really a treasure boy. You are handsome, your acting skills are so good, and your cooking is so delicious. Whoever marries you in the future will be so happy."

Suddenly, Yang Mi remembered something and asked: "Xiao Di, what did you call Xiao Ye just now?"

Xiao Di's pretty face turned red and she immediately took the blame: "I called him a newcomer and he didn't like it. I called him a pervert and he said I was framing him. In the end, I had to call him this."

Yang Mi looked at Ye Chen jokingly: "Chenchen, that's good. I'll call you that too from now on."

Ye Chen was speechless when he heard Yang Mi's faint voice.

A few people were joking for a while, and Yang Mi suddenly asked: "Xiaoye, it has been more than half a month since "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" was released, and there will definitely be no problem with the box office exceeding 30 billion. What are your next plans?"

Ye Chen thought for a while and said, "I already have a plan."

"Plan? I know you won't rest for too long. What are your plans? I can give you some advice."

Yang Mi was not surprised. Ye Chen was a career-oriented man and would not rest on his laurels just because he became famous in a few dramas.

He will continue to push his limits and create box office miracles.

This is also the main reason why Yang Mi admires Ye Chen.

Yang Mi smiled and said: "Now you are a hot commodity. Many capitals are contacting me and asking me to arrange to shoot their film and television scripts. I think some of the scripts are pretty good."

"The conditions they offer are very generous, and they are all big productions. They only ask for one thing, that you play the villain, and there are more villains than male leads."

Because several of Ye Chen’s films were all hits.

It has successfully attracted the attention of capital.

And they also liked Ye Chen's appeal as a villain.

So these capitals were like sharks that smelled blood, they all rushed over and wanted to cooperate with Ye Chen.

Not many people knew Ye Chen's contact information, so they found the boss Yang Mi.

After all, Ye Chen is an artist under Yang Mi, which is already known to everyone in the industry.

Most of these capitals are related to Yang Mi, and some of them have pretty good relationships.

The villain played by Ye Chen has been unanimously recognized by the industry.

It can be seen from the fact that one of the five movies is getting hotter than the other.

Therefore, these capitals regard Ye Chen as a cash cow and want to cooperate with him.

After all, any movie Ye Chen makes can earn over a billion or even billions at the box office. It’s hard not to be tempted by those who are only interested in profit.

For this reason, they took the initiative to contact Yang Mi and the conditions they gave were amazing.

Therefore, Yang Mi took the initiative to mention this matter.

Unfortunately, Ye Chen no longer wants to play the villain.

"Sister Mi, I don't want to play a villain anymore. I don't want to go down the same path, and I don't want my villain image to be solidified in the eyes of the audience. Maybe I can get a lot of benefits in the short term, but I want to create something bigger. The box office results are no longer possible."

"So, Sister Mi, I want to transform. I don't plan to play a villain in the next movie. In the next movie, I want to play a comedy."

Ye Chen's voice fell, and there was a dead silence on the dinner table.

Yang Mi, Xiao Di, and Li Xiaomeng were all dumbfounded, staring blankly at Ye Chen.

Xiaodi even reached out to Ye Chen's forehead and asked in surprise: "Chenchen, do you have a fever?"

Yang Mi also looked at Ye Chen with a puzzled expression.

You're already a villain and you want to do a comedy?
Are you kidding me?
Ye Chen looked at the eyes of several people and knew what they were thinking.

So he smiled and said, "What, you don't believe that I can act in comedy?"

Yang Mi shook her head: "That's not true. I have never doubted your acting skills, and the fact that you have been able to hit so many dramas in a row has proven your acting skills."

"only……"

Yang Mi thought for a moment and then said: "Chenchen, it's not that I don't support your transformation, I just feel that you have just made some achievements now, and the transformation is too dangerous now. Once the transformation fails, it will hit you hard."

"And if you rashly transform, regardless of whether it will be successful or not, public opinion will push you to the forefront."

"When the time comes, someone will add insult to injury and spread all kinds of rumors, which will have a great impact on you. You must be mentally prepared..."

Yang Mi has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and she knows the entertainment industry very well.

Ye Chen is too popular now. There are too many people who hate Ye Chen and are jealous of Ye Chen.

They are now looking for an opportunity to step on Ye Chen.

If Ye Chen plays a good villain, there will be no problem.

After all, the entire network now recognizes that if Ye Chen is the second villain, no one would dare to claim the first place.

This shows how important Ye Chen’s villain is in the hearts of netizens.

With this momentum, even if Ye Chen cannot make greater progress in the future, there will definitely be no problem in stabilizing his position in the entertainment industry.

At least when these capitals want to find a villain, Ye Chen must be their first choice.

But Ye Chen wants to transform at this time?

And he’s also a comedian, so the gap between the two is too big.

Acting in a comedy also requires talent. Ye Chen is the kind of person who is gentle and a little shy. Acting in a comedy?
At least neither Yang Mi nor Xiao Di saw that Ye Chen had a talent for comedy.

Once the transformation fails, it will be a nightmare for Ye Chen.

Xiaodi also advised: "Chenchen, you are very good at playing the villain. The characters you created, whether it is Hua Zi, Zhao Tai, Feng Yuxiu, Yuhuatian or Fengli Dao, are not all deeply rooted in the hearts of the people? Even I like the character very much, but if you play the villain, let alone others, even I won’t be able to stand it, and I think your fans won’t be able to accept it.”

Ye Chen can see that Yang Mi and Xiao Di are not optimistic about Ye Chen's decision to transform.

But the two of them were afraid of hurting Ye Chen's self-esteem, but as friends, they had to talk, so they were cautious in their words.

Ye Chen didn't care and said with a smile: "Xiao Di, you said you also like Fengli Dao, so do you think Fengli Dao is funny? Do I feel worse playing him than playing a villain?"

Xiao Di was stunned for a moment.

Yang Mi was also speechless by Ye Chen's words.

Yes, the character Feng Li Dao is a comedy-oriented character with a sense of humor.

Marven Ye was very successful and probably brought laughter to the audience in the theater.

Ye Chen created this character very successfully.

Even a character who is not inferior to the villain at all.

Yang Mi and Xiao Di also have a deep understanding of it.

Back then in the theater, the audience burst into laughter watching Ye Chen's funny scenes.

If it were not for the image of Yu Huatian played by Ye Chen, then the most outstanding character in the movie "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" would definitely be Fengli Dao.

And these two people were both shaped by Ye Chen.

There are even two factions formed among movie fans. Some people like Yu Huatian, while others like Feng Li Dao.

Although I like Yuhuatian more, after all, Fengli Dao's role is very small, and the two people's role positioning is completely different.

Yuhuatian is the number one villain, and Fengli Dao is just a supporting role.

Therefore, it is considered a success that the comedy character Feng Li Dao can leave such a deep impression on the audience and bring laughter to the audience.

Xiaodi said: "The role you played as Fengli Dao is indeed quite funny. By the way, Chenchen, is it true that your role as Fengli Dao is so romantic?"

Ye Chen was speechless, was this the focus?

Xiao Di's brain circuit completely defeated Ye Chen.

Ye Chen ignored Xiaodi and continued: "Boss, when I played the villain, many people didn't think highly of me. But I succeeded. My role as a comedian was not decided by just tapping my forehead. I am confident that I can perform well. comedy."

Yang Mi didn't speak.

Because she was also moved by Ye Chen, she hesitated a little.

Ye Chen continued to strike while the iron was hot and said: "Actually, I have already decided on the transformation. I will definitely do it, so even if you object, I will still do it."

"Sister Mi has one more thing. I think it's better to say hello to you in advance."

Yang Mi suddenly felt that his head couldn't keep up with Ye Chen's rhythm.

Ye Chen's eyes were very firm and his attitude was serious.

After all, this matter will have to be discussed with Yang Mi sooner or later, and the sooner the better. Since the conversation has already come to this point, it is better to reveal all his plans.

It was his decision to transition into comedy.

Ye Chen will not change, even if Yang Mi and Xiao Di object, he will not change this decision.

And what he wanted to talk to Yang Mi was about the contract.

The contract the two people signed was for two years.

Within two years, Yang Mi provided Ye Chen with all the new resources he could provide, but placed very few restrictions on Ye Chen.

Ye Chen did need the resources of Yang Mi Studio in the early days, but now he no longer needs them.

Although there is a studio, Ye Chen will save a lot of trouble, but Ye Chen understands that if he wants to develop well in the future, he must choose to leave.

Now that the contract has been less than a year, Ye Chen feels that it is time to talk about this matter.

Ye Chen continued: "Sister Mi, I am actually really grateful to you. Thanks to your appreciation and signing a contract with me, I have such a huge stage."

"So, I also decided to give Sister Mi a big gift before I leave her studio. This gift will be my first comedy appearance after my transformation."

"This movie is a script I wrote myself. I invested in it myself, and I count you as the boss. I am very confident in this movie."

Yang Mi said with some sadness: "Chenchen, so after the contract expires, you are not going to renew the contract with my studio?"

Xiao Di also looked at Ye Chen with complicated eyes.

Ye Chen was very depressed.

He had just talked a lot about it, and it turned out that Yang Mi's focus had always been on not renewing her contract.

Ye Chen said: "With this movie, I am confident that she can bring huge profits to the studio. It is also a way for me to repay the kindness of my boss. As for the contract, I really do not plan to renew it after it expires."

Yang Mi stared at Ye Chen and said, "Why?"

Xiaodi also stared at Ye Chen: "Chenchen, Sister Mi is so good to you, why do you abandon us?"

Marven smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Mi, if I say I don't renew the contract, it doesn't mean I'm leaving you. Boss, you have to know that although your studio can keep me now, it doesn't mean that I will become more and more famous in the future. Da, you can still keep me."

"It's not that I'm too crazy, and it's not that your studio is not worthy of keeping me. I left just for you."

"For me?" Yang Mi was even more confused.

"I've heard something about you and the two directors of Jiaxing Media. Now you can indeed protect me, but when I can create more and more wealth, do you think the other two shareholders will be indifferent?"

Ye Chen did not continue talking.

That's right, the two shareholders are already a little dissatisfied with Ye Chen. In order to protect Ye Chen, Yang Mi even slapped the table several times at the shareholders' meeting.

When Ye Chen becomes more and more famous and can create more profits than the studio, then the other two partners will not let Yang Mi make money on her own.

In that case, it would target Ye Chen and Yang Mi, causing unnecessary trouble to Yang Mi.

Unless Yang Mi makes the studio independent, but Yang Mi doesn't have that kind of strength.

If it really comes to that point, the two partners will definitely put pressure on Yang Mi and Ye Chen through capital and force them to compromise.

It is impossible for Ye Chen and Yang Mi to compromise with those people. By that time, Yang Mi will face a capital confrontation. Not only will both sides suffer, but they will definitely lose their vitality.

After all, Yang Mi is still an artist. The dispute may not have a big impact on the two partners, but it will definitely have a huge impact on Yang Mi.

At worst, you may lose your fans, but at worst, you may lose your reputation.

Ye Chen's departure was actually to better protect Yang Mi.
