435 So confident?
In a messy loft apartment, behind closed curtains, even though the sun is shining brightly outside.
But it was pitch dark in the apartment.
The used instant noodle boxes were scattered everywhere.
The taste of instant noodles is strong enough.
Add to that the choking cigarette smoke that filled the room. Really, the smell was quite extraordinary.
In such an environment.
The person in front of the computer was typing on the keyboard with his fingers flying.
Next to the dimly lit desk lamp, there was a stack of A4 papers, which were filled with content that was enough to confuse people.
This is none other than Pei An!
Pei An hasn't left the house for several days!
These past few days, I've been revising the script like crazy.
If there was an incoming call on his phone which was set to silent mode, he would hang up immediately.
Um
The weird thing is that even though he didn't want to answer the call, he never turned off his phone and kept it plugged in to charge.
Suddenly.
The cell phone on the desk started to vibrate.
The next second, the sound of typing on the keyboard stopped abruptly.
Then, Pei An, who was a little annoyed, didn't even look at the call and quickly pressed the reject button.
The keyboard typing sound resumed.
That end.
Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
Ye Chen-face is confused!
Pei An rejected his call?
And rejected immediately?
What's going on? Slip?
In confusion, he called again.
Still got rejected.
Now, Ye Chen frowned.
This situation is a bit too abnormal...
With his status as a "mentor", it is impossible for Pei An to not answer his call.
After thinking about it, Ye Chen decided to dial the third time.
This time, it worked!
But before he could speak.
Pei An on the other end immediately started cursing.
"Fuck, are you stupid? You're not going to stop yet, are you?"
"What did you say?" Ye Chen frowned. I haven't seen him for a few days. Has he become insane? Huh?
Hear this voice.
Pei An was stunned.
Then, he picked up his phone and looked at the note displayed. Mr. Ye. In an instant, Pei An's scalp tingled and he panicked.
Suddenly, he became extremely panic-stricken and anxious.
He even jumped up from his chair all of a sudden.
"Sorry, sorry, Mr. Ye, I didn't see the caller ID clearly just now, and didn't know it was you, Mr. Ye, calling me. I'm sorry, sorry!" Pei An said anxiously.
"What's going on with you?" Ye Chen asked.
"I was revising the script and was too absorbed in it. I'm sorry, Mr. Ye!" Pei An explained again.
"Revise the script?"
"Well, ever since I left Chimelong Hotel that day, I gave up the director position at Orange Gua Pictures and have been locking myself at home to revise the script!" Pei An said.
"You haven't been out of the house these days?"
Thinking of the stories about Pei An in his previous life, Ye Chen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly.
Because in his previous life, Pei An was exposed to have been in a crazy state of not going out for nearly a month. Sometimes he ate a pot of porridge for a whole day, sometimes he had instant noodles for three meals a day, and sometimes he ordered a few takeouts at a time and ate them in several meals... just to write the script!
So the crazy rhythm of the previous life has already begun?
"Well, yes, I have never been out of the house. It's mainly because of your support, Mr. Ye, that I see hope for directing. I have written several movie scripts before, and now I want to revise and improve them. I thought that if you really trust me, Mr. Ye, I must use these scripts to fight some good battles!" Pei An said.
"What script is it from?" Ye Chen asked curiously. He wanted to know if it was one of those hit movies that swept the box office in his previous life.
"You will know when the time comes, Mr. Ye!" Pei An said embarrassedly.
After saying that, Pei An suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, Mr. Ye, why are you calling me..."
"The acquisition of Orange Gua Pictures should be launched in the next few days if nothing unexpected happens. I called you to tell you that you can start looking for scripts. Money is not a problem. If there is any film or TV script that you think is good, I can set up a crew at any time after I complete the acquisition of Orange Gua Pictures!" Ye Chen said.
Hearing this.
Pei An's ambition suddenly ignited. "Boss Ye, are you serious?
"Do you think I called you just to make you happy?" Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Mr. Ye, if that's the case, you don't need to look for scripts or spend money. The three scripts I have on hand are the ones I spent a long time on. I can't say they are masterpieces, but in terms of the content, I am confident that they can beat the high-grossing blockbusters of the past few years!" Pei An said excitedly.
At this point, Pei An seemed to be afraid that the other party would not believe him. "Boss Ye, I am not bragging. If I sell these scripts, I can definitely get a relatively considerable price. At least I can solve my current financial difficulties at any time. I just don't want to sell them. I want to keep them for directing myself one day. However, considering that I have to pay the penalty for breach of contract to Orange Melon Films, I have thought about selling them at a low price if it really doesn't work!"
"Are you so confident?" Ye Chen said.
"It's not about whether I have confidence or not, but the quality of the script is there. It may not be a masterpiece, but compared to the movie that has already grossed over 150 million on its premiere, it is definitely enough to crush it! The crush I'm talking about is multi-faceted, not only the quality of the script itself, but also the market audience and so on!" Pei An said shamelessly.
If other people heard this, they would definitely think that Pei An was crazy, or that he was taking Ye Chen for a fool.
After all, looking at the entire screenwriter circle, there are not many who dare to say this. Of course, there are still some.
For example, Wu Jing has now become the box office king. He is also carrying the high hopes of countless Chinese people and has made an invisible contribution to the national self-confidence of the Chinese people!
But, what is Wu Jing's status? What is Pei An's status? Not to mention that the latter is not even worthy of carrying the former's shoes, if you really want to say it, Pei An at the moment is not even up to par!
However, Ye Chen believed it!
Because in his previous life, Pei An's first work as a director became an instant hit and raked in over 4 billion at the box office, and he was also the screenwriter!
This is the case when the early promotion and marketing is not very effective, otherwise the number would be much higher than this!
After that, Pei An, who had made a stunning debut, officially started his era!
He suppressed his inner desire to confirm whether the three scripts Pei An mentioned at this moment had any resemblance to the work in his previous life.
Ye Chen asked, "When can you finish revising the script you mentioned?"
Pei An paused, looked at the time and said, "We should be able to finish the repairs tonight!"
"Then let's meet tonight, and by the way, show me the movie script that you said can crush the current first-day box office of 150 million, okay?" Ye Chen said.
Hesitated.
It seemed like he was making some difficult decision.
After a short moment.
Pei An gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"
