From villain specialist to all-around superstar

Chapter 147 Preparing for "Charlotte's Trouble", turning comedy fans into fans
Yang Mi also understood Ye Chen's good intentions.

Some of the small resentments in her heart also disappeared without a trace.

Being in the entertainment industry, Yang Mi is even more aware of the bloody turmoil in the entertainment industry.

For the sake of resources, these capitals will do whatever it takes and even confuse right and wrong.

Marven continued: "Sister Mi, although the contract has expired and I will no longer renew the contract with the boss, our cooperation and friendship are still there."

"What I want to get rid of is not you, but the shackles Jiaxing Media has placed on me. Sister Mi has done a lot to me, and I can't let Sister Mi suffer any more injustice on my behalf."

After hearing Ye Chen's words, Yang Mi felt very contented. It seemed that she had not misjudged the person. Ye Chen was not the kind of wolf with white eyes. She knew that what she had done for him was enough.

Ye Chen's words also showed his attitude. Although he has left, his heart has not left and he will still cooperate with Yang Mi.

As the conversation started, the atmosphere at the dinner table returned again.

Yang Mi nodded: "Let's talk about the contract later, let's talk about your transformation into a comedian first."

"Sister, I believe in your strength. I can't take out too much, but I can still squeeze out 1000 million people."

Ye Chen was very moved.

It is not easy for Yang Mi to spend so much money to support herself.

"I have invested all my money in "Three Lives Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms". 1000 million is already my limit, but if you don't have enough, you can tell me and I can make the following turnover."

1000 million yuan is indeed not enough to make a movie.

But Yang Mi's words have reached this point, and Ye Chen will definitely not embarrass others.

After all, Yang Mi can come up with 1000 million just by saying something, which is already very interesting.

Ye Chen said with a smile: "I still have more than 2000 million here. If I find a few more people to invest, the funds should be almost enough."

"Besides, if the working capital is used, I won't feel at ease when I'm filming."

Xiao Di on the side said weakly: "Chenchen, I also have money, so I will give you 500 million, which is all my private money."

Ye Chen was already shocked when he heard this.

Being an actor is indeed so rich, 500 million is just private money.

Ye Chen smiled and said: "Senior, don't worry, I will earn back the 500 million for you with interest. Maybe if you are lucky with this movie, you can make a small fortune."

Xiaodi was very happy after hearing this: "Okay, then I will rely on you for my dowry money."

Marven smiled evilly and said, "So I don't have to give you the money?"

Xiao Di was stunned for a moment, then waved his fist angrily:
"You big pervert, you dare to take advantage of me. You are not my boyfriend, why should you peek at my dowry money."

Being hammered by Xiao Di's pink fist, I have to say, it is very comfortable.

It would feel even better if I could lie down on the bed.

Yang Mi didn't say anything when she saw the two of them fighting, but there was a strange look in her eyes.

After the serious business was settled, both parties talked everything out, and the relationship became even better.

Yang Mi and Xiao Di stayed very late before going back.

Ye Chen opened the system and used the redemption card to redeem a movie.

"Charlotte's Troubles"!
This movie was not well received at the beginning in its previous life, but ended up creating a box office miracle.

It has also become a cross-era work in the Dragon Kingdom comedy films of the previous life.

What Ye Chen wants to film is "Charlotte's Trouble".

Yang Mi was stunned for a moment when she saw the script.

The first time I saw the title of the script, Yang Mi felt that the title of the movie was a bit middle-of-the-road.

Yang Mi knows very well that comedy movies rely on plot, which can make fans laugh and feel happy in the movie.

Therefore, the requirements for the script are very strict.

Yang Mi read it once and then showed the script to Xiao Di.

"How is it?" Yang Mi asked.

After reading it, Xiao Di said: "I think this script is very novel. It seems that Chenchen really didn't just do it on a whim, but worked hard. I think this script is quite good."

Yang Mi nodded: "This work is a film about a small character. It is not difficult to shoot, and the script is also very tense. There are many funny elements. Maybe Xiaoye can really succeed."

However, the success of a comedy film is not enough to rely on the script alone.

It relies on acting skills. The success of this drama depends on whether Ye Chen can master the role of comedy.

For a movie, the audience doesn't care how hard or how hard you work when you shoot it. What they want is something that resonates with you, that can make fans laugh, make fans cry, and make fans get involved in the plot.

After reading the script, Yang Mi became more confident in Ye Chen.

1000 million is not a small amount for Yang Mi, but for Ye Chen, she feels it is worth paying.

Soon, Yang Mi and Xiao Di's money was transferred to Ye Chen's account.

The two girls didn't even ask for a contract, they just handed over the money.

When Ye Chen received the payment from two people, he was really touched.

At the same time, Ye Chen also became more confident, and must make "Charlotte's Troubles" shine in this world.

Although Ye Chen is very confident that "Charlotte Annoyance" can become a hit.

But Yang Mi and Xiao Di didn't know.

So they were actually gambling with Ye Chen.

Both of them had unreserved support for Ye Chen.

Although Ye Chen is great as a villain, no one knows what will happen when he plays a comedy.

Moreover, this time, Ye Chen was acting in a script he wrote, and the risks increased exponentially.

The male lead in "Charlotte Troubles" is naturally Ye Chen.

The next step, Ye Chen is going to raise himself.

Yang Mi and Xiao Di have invested 500 million, plus their own 2000 million, there is still 3000 million.

For the remaining 1000 million, Ye Chen decided to talk to those capitals.

However, Ye Chen was still too optimistic.

When he looked for capital bosses, he encountered setbacks.

"Mr. Ye, our company currently doesn't have that much money. Of course, we can consider you playing a villain, but for comedy, I'm really sorry..."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, our company has no plans to make comedies recently. If it's a villain, our company can fully support it."

"Mr. Ye, you should make a villain movie. Our company will fully support it. However, if you want to make a comedy, we still think the risk is a bit high. Please think about it again."

……

Several capital tycoons took the initiative to greet Ye Chen when they heard that he was visiting.

But when I heard that Ye Chen wanted to make a comedy, I was immediately disappointed and refused directly.

If you're filming a villain, they're naturally happy to cooperate, but if you're filming a comedy, they immediately lose interest.

For capital, they are interested in Ye Chen's potential to make villains. As for Ye Chen's potential to make comedy movies?
Sorry, the risk is too high.

Ye Chen's appearance and temperament made the management not optimistic about Ye Chen's transformation into a comedian.

Therefore, Ye Chen has found several sources of capital but has hit a wall.

Of course, although the management did not think highly of him, they were very polite to Ye Chen.

He also said that if Ye Chen wants to play a villain, he can contact them at any time.

After all, Ye Chen is a fortune-teller in the entertainment industry.

In the eyes of the employer, the prerequisite is that Ye Chen is willing to play the villain.

Ye Chen didn't force it.

However, when Ye Chen talked with the heads of several smaller film and television companies, he unexpectedly gained something.

Perhaps for Yang Mi's sake, these companies did not politely refuse like the big companies, but decided to use part of their funds to invest in the film.

There are three small companies in total, raising 1000 million yuan.

Two of them each offered 300 million, and one offered 400 million.

Ye Chen asked Xiaomeng to sign the contract and made up for the contracts of Yang Mi and Xiao Di.

There is still more than 1000 million left before filming "Charlotte's Trouble".

When Ye Chen was about to continue looking for investment, directors and some actor friends who had worked with Ye Chen heard from some source that Ye Chen was preparing for a new drama, and they all called Ye Chen to ask if Ye Chen was short of money. .

Directors including Zhang Mou, Xu Ke, Zheng Baorui, Chen Deshen, actors Liu Hua, Li Lianlian, Gu Tianle and even Tony A all called to express their intention to invest.

These people decided to invest in Ye Chen without even seeing the script, purely because of Ye Chen's character and acting skills.

After all, everyone has cooperated before and knows Ye Chen better than others.

The 700 million was collected quickly, and in the end Ye Chen raised 2000 million just from these people.

As a result, many other actors called later, and Ye Chen could only politely refuse.

Ye Chen was very serious and asked Xiaomeng to draw up the contract and sign it.

Although we are all friends, business is business after all.

end of October.

All funds for the filming of "Charlotte's Troubles" have been secured.

Among them, Ye Chen including his own salary totaled 500 million.

1000 million Yangmi.

Xiaodi 500 million.

1000 million plus several companies.

There are also 2000 million friends.

A total of 6000 million yuan was raised, and the final funds raised even exceeded expectations.

November st.

Director Xu Ke called: "Xiaoye, the total box office of our "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" is 32 billion, which is higher than your previous "Slaying the Wolf 2"."

"Also, Xiaoye, the news about your transformation has been blown up on the Internet. Why do you suddenly want to transform? In fact, I think it is safer for you to play the villain now. I know a few good directors who are preparing to shoot new movies. , how about I introduce it to you?"

Although Xu Ke invested 300 million in Ye Chen's new drama, he still wanted to persuade Ye Chen.

After all, Ye Chen had just made a movie called "Slaying the Wolf 2" which was very popular. It would be safer to take advantage of this momentum and make another villain movie.

Ye Chen also politely declined Director Xu's kindness, chatted for a while and hung up the phone.

At the same time, news about "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" earning 32 billion in box office is also rapidly spreading on the Internet.

Netizens have heated discussions.

The circle was shocked.

Marven's friends also called one after another.

Since Ye Chen has been very busy during this period and has not updated meagerly, fans also complained.

Ye Chen thought for a while and posted a message on Weibo.

"Thank you for your support of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate". The total box office is 32 billion. It is you who have given me such an honor. Thank you..."

Ye Chen first thanked the fans for their support of Dragon Gate Flying Swords, and promised the fans that he would produce better works to repay the fans for their love.

Finally, Ye Chen also announced a big news on Weibo.

For the next movie, I will switch to making a comedy. I will write the script myself, take part in it, and play the protagonist.

As soon as the news came out, Ye Chen's Weibo immediately exploded.

Fans were originally very excited, but they were shocked when they saw that Ye Chen was going to transform into a comedian.

"My God, brother Ye, you're not kidding, are you acting in comedy?"

"Damn it, Brother Ye is so good at acting as a villain, why do you want to act in a comedy?"

"Playing a comedy? Brother Ye, I'm used to your villain image. Can you do a comedy?"

"Brother Ye, don't do things you're not good at. Being a villain is your strength."

"Brother Ye, are you a little bit arrogant? After a few successful movies, you feel like you are a versatile person?"

"Brother Ye, don't be confused."

"Villains are what our fans love most. Brother Ye, please don't be irrational. You are my idol. I don't want your new movie to crash."

"Brother Ye, your transformation has caught us fans off guard."

……

Fans groaned.

Most fans cannot accept Ye Chen's transformation into comedy.

Of course, there are also a small number of fans who say that even if Ye Chen plays a comedy, they will continue to support Ye Chen.

Of course, doubts and surprises are the most common.

The voice of support was too weak and was quickly silenced by the comments of doubtful and confused fans.

Soon, Ye Chen’s Weibo also quickly spread on the Internet.

at the same time.

Li Xiaomeng has been watching Ye Chen's Weibo movements.

When I saw Ye Chen's fan messages on Weibo, my heart suddenly dropped.

Sure enough, her worries came true.

Regarding Ye Chen's transformation, fans don't buy it at all.

Especially someone like Ye Chen, who was a villain when he debuted and was also a villain at his peak.

The villains filmed by Ye Chen left such a deep impression on fans.

So much so that in my mind, Ye Chen is synonymous with villain.

So when they heard that Ye Chen was going to act in a comedy, many fans couldn't accept it.

Li Xiaomeng found Ye Chen: "Brother Ye, it's bad, the fans can't accept you playing the villain, and many fans even lost their fans directly."

The number of fans of Ye Chen has been growing steadily, but after Ye Chen posted this Weibo, the number of fans has dropped by tens of millions.

Although Yang Mi, Xiao Di, and many friends praised Ye Chen to express their support, it didn't work at all.

Looking at the number of fans that were still declining sharply, Li Xiaomeng burst into tears.

"Brother Ye, these fans are questioning whether you can do comedy well again."

"Many fans even say that they only watch you acting as a villain. They say that if you become a comedian, they will become your haters."

"Brother Ye, why are you still in the mood to laugh? You should quickly think of a solution."

Li Xiaomeng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but as the person involved, Ye Chen was not only not anxious, but actually had a smile on his face.

Marven didn't take losing followers and being questioned by fans seriously at all.

"Xiaomeng, you girl's mental quality is so bad, aren't you just losing fans? What's there to cry about?"

"As long as our films are excellent and can be recognized by fans, it doesn't matter if we are questioned or even slandered by netizens now. The quality of the film depends on it. As long as we make good films, the fans will multiply and come back! "
