Chapter 5: In the Name of the Father

"What......" Ye Haogen was stunned, "What are you talking about?"

Ye Wei put the bag of documents on the desk, took out one of them, opened it and showed it to him, "Look here, $15oo to rent a Steadicam for a day! How ridiculous! Dad, I already have definite evidence that this is a fake account, but the real amount is $6oo." ”

At that moment, he made the process of tracing clear.

Ye Haogen's face changed when he heard this, holding the expenditure form, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Are you serious?"

"I'm not joking. Ye Wei took out several more documents, "It's not just that fake account, there are too many problems in the whole production process, going to Florida to go on location?! Just to shoot a few honeymoon scenes?! Don't talk about it, Malibu, Long Beach, Santa Monica can't do it? Who can tell if the beach is in Florida!? We are an independent film, not a documentary!"

The more ugly Ye Haogen's face became, he was not a fool, nor did he really have no understanding of filmmaking, in fact, he had always had doubts about this location, just because he believed in Kevin Thomas's professionalism......

"There are so many questions. Ye Wei sighed, "We don't know how much our money has been wasted." ”

"How do you know?" Ye Haogen couldn't understand this, how could his son see such a professional financial mistake, and he also carefully found out the truth.

"Do you really think I'm a stupid loser?" Ye Wei shrugged his shoulders, not wanting to dwell on this issue, and unable to explain clearly, "I'm your son, if you don't believe me, you have to believe in your DNA." Besides, as long as you go to eBay and take a walk, you will know that Steadicam doesn't have to rent so expensive!"

Ye Haogen showed a wry smile on his face and took a few steps, "Maybe...... Maybe it was just an accident?

"Dad, you're just a good person, but it's a sinister world. Ye Wei took out his mobile phone and said, "You listen to this, you will know." ”

He turned up the volume on his phone and played a recording: "Hey, only...... Kevin, where is that information?...... There's a yacht pie on the beach side of Santa Monica tomorrow night, and there will be a lot of models in attendance...... You can't sue your dad for this, you can't sue anyone for this......"

After listening to this clear recording, Ye Haogen suddenly became angry, his eyes seemed to be about to kill, and he yelled: "How dare he!!You are just a 15-year-old child, how dare he ......!!"

"Calm down, calm down!" Ye Wei hurriedly comforted, really afraid that his father would be too excited and something would happen, "Haven't I gone yet?" Dad, calm down!"

Ye Haogen really couldn't calm down, these truths were thunder strikes, he exhaled, and walked to the chair behind the desk and sat down in a little pain. Ye Wei was so frightened that he hurriedly handed over a glass of water and continued to comfort: "Now that we know, it's not too late to make amends, calm down." ”

"Hmm......" Ye Haogen took a sip of water, his face was full of self-deprecation, loss and frustration, and said with a wry smile: "I'm such a fool, look at what I've done......! How stupid I must be!

Ye Wei didn't say anything, just pinched his father's shoulders and silently gave himself support.

After a long time, Ye Haogen slowly calmed down, sighed, and asked: "Do you say that it is possible, the box office of "The Wedding is Coming" will be good?"

Ye Wei knew that he couldn't give his father any illusions anymore, and said seriously: "Ask your own reason, what is its quality? In my opinion, it is a big bad movie." ”

Ye Haogen is still a little difficult to accept, when the whole family watched the final cut version of the dVd together a few days ago, he said that the shooting was not very good, but it was a "bad movie......

"It's not that bad, is it?" he said, covering his forehead, his smile bitter as if it was going to stink, "I know that with its quality, it won't be a box office bomb, but as long as it can receive three million box office, then ...... Not a very high number......"

"No!" Ye Wei shook his head resolutely: "For "The Wedding is Coming", that is a very high number! The film industry is very complicated, but to put it bluntly, in a word: the winner takes all, and the loser has nothing! If we don't collect enough 30,000 box office in those three theaters every week, our theater line will end, and there will be no profit in it, we don't have it, and the theater doesn't have it. The film was a failure. ”

Ye Haogen couldn't refute, picked up a "Vanity Fair" movie magazine on the table, the stars on the red carpet on the cover were beautiful, and he curled up the magazine with some uneasiness, as if he wanted to hold the dream that was flying away......

"Dad, I want you to understand that investing in independent films, losing money is very, very normal, and not losing money is the exception. It's not something to be ashamed of, and in any case, we should accept it calmly that at least we actually got a movie. ”

Ye Wei said in a relaxed tone and continued: "But we can't sit back and watch it any longer, leave it to Kevin Thomas to operate, and it will only mess up." Dad, when you're calm, we'll talk about the next step. ”

"But, VIy......" Ye Haogen looked up at him, and his smile finally had some relief, "What's wrong with you? Unbelievable! Where is that bad boy?"

"Oh, old fellow, watch your words, be careful, I'll be standing here." Ye Wei made a few exaggerated grimaces and laughed: "Everyone will grow up, I just feel that it's time for me to grow." ”

"You're a great relief to Dad. Ye Haogen nodded and patted his palm, "I'm fine, I can bear this, tell me your next step?"

"Losing money is certain, but how much we lose is not necessarily, we can get back as much as we can, try our best to get back as much as we can......"

Ye Wei had a demonic fierce light in his eyes, but his faint words made people shudder: "First, clean up Kevin Thomas's bitch......"

He told his plan in detail, and the more Ye Haogen listened, the more frightened he became, such a thoughtful, professional, and ruthless handling was really the only thing he could think of......

......

Kevin Thomas is in a good mood, speaking of which, he has been quite nourishing for more than a year, thanks to the big fish with a movie dream, that's why he loves movies!

I'm really looking forward to tonight's yacht pie, with that little loser following, he doesn't even have to pay for the pickle girl himself, if it goes well, he will fall asleep with a hot girl tonight, and I'm excited to think about it.

As for the line of "The Wedding Date is Coming", don't be stupid, that school has no half-letter relationship with the line.

It's a very troublesome thing to do business and publicity, so he won't waste his energy, anyway, the film has already been filmed, it's worthless, and after finishing this self-funded line that makes investors "wow, my movie is released", this project will be thrown into the trash.

The most important thing is to find the next big fish. Although the loss of the film will cause some damage to the reputation of his producer, but fortunately, there is no shortage of fools in the world, especially those who think they are lucky to be lucky for their dreams, and the sons of fools, haha!

One morning, Kevin Thomas was strolling around the beaches of Santa Monica, looking at the eye-catching tourist beauties around him, and thinking about tonight's pie duì......

When he had just eaten lunch and had not yet left the seaside restaurant, his mobile phone rang, it was Ye Haogen's call.

"What does this Chinese guy want to talk about?" he muttered and pressed the switch, with a bored look on his face, but his tone was very enthusiastic: "Hi Hogan, good afternoon." ”

"Kevin, come over to the company right now, we need to fix something. Ye Haogen's voice was cold, obviously suppressing a wave of anger.

Kevin Thomas was a little puzzled, could it be that the matter of inviting the little loser to send duì was exposed? He was not afraid, it was exposed, it could be said that it was just a joke, or because he was "too favored" Ye Wei.

Not wanting to affect his mood, he shirked and said, "I'm going to be busy with some business, so let's talk about it on the phone." ”

"Whatever you do, come to the company right away. Ye Haogen's voice was very tough.

"Okay, I'll go over here. Kevin Thomas had no choice but to agree, get up and check out. That big fish still has some use value, and it can't be unhooked.

Along the way, he kept muttering and cursing: "What a lot, stupid family, Funetbsp; When he came to the office building unhurriedly, and then arrived at the Wei Duo Image Office, things seemed to be a little different from what he thought, the four of them were sitting on the sand, Ye Haogen, Gu Qiao, Ye Wei, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes wearing glasses, I don't know who it was......

The three members of the Ye family looked very unkind, as if they regarded him as an enemy.

"Guys......" Kevin Thomas couldn't help but wonder and asked as he walked up, "What's wrong?"

The person who surprised him the most stood up, it was not Ye Haogen, nor Gu Qiao, it was Ye Wei, the kid smiled and said, "I'm here to tell you what's wrong." ”

Ye Wei took out his mobile phone and played a recording......

Listening to the conversation between himself and Ye Wei yesterday, Kevin Thomas's face changed, pretending to be a little embarrassed, but in fact, he was shocked and angry in his heart, when did the little fool record the music and play him a prank?

When the recording ended, he pretended to smile wryly and said, "Haogen, Joe, I'm sorry, I'm too spoiled." You know, what the teenagers are thinking, I see that he wants to go, and I want to take him with me when I relent, he is a serious communicator, and I will take care of him, and nothing will be born. ”

He felt that this explanation was very good, however, Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao's gazes not only did not become gentle, but they both became sharper, and they wanted to kill him.

"Enough. Ye Wei didn't want to watch Kevin Thomas's clumsy, disgusting performance anymore, "This recording just fully proves what kind of person you are, do you think it's just like this today?15oo dollars rent a day of Steadicam, what is that, a hero-level mecha!?"

He suddenly roared, raised a document in his hand, and pulled out a certificate of the lease contract issued by Ed Photographic Equipment Company, and said in a steady voice: "Unfortunately, the false accounts you made have been exposed, and the fact that you are a liar has also been exposed." Need my prompt, Kevin Thomas, you're screwed. ”

"What...... What ......?" Kevin Thomas looked at the two documents stupidly, and for a while he couldn't figure out the situation.

Suddenly, some memories came to his mind, and he remembered them, and after a while, his face turned pale and he broke out in a cold sweat......

How would they know?
