chapter 5. in the name of the father

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

    Ye Wei put the bag of information documents on the desk, took out one of them, and opened it to show him, "Look here, $1,500. Renting Steadicam for a day! How ridiculous! Dad, I already have definite evidence to show that this is a fake account. In fact, the real number is $600." 

    Now, he made the process of tracing clear. 

    Ye Haogen heard his face change, holding the expenditure form, the voice was a bit hoarse: "Do you really?" 

    "I don't make such a joke." Ye Wei took out several documents, "not just that pen. False accounts, there are too many and too many problems in the whole production process. Going out to Florida for a location?! Just to take a few honeymoon movies?! Don't pull it, Malibu, Long Beach, Santa Monica can't? Can you see if the beach is in Florida?? We are independent films, not documentaries!" 

    Ye Haogen's face is more and more ugly, he is not a fool, nor is he really ignorant of film production. In fact, he is always confused about this location. Just because I believe Kevin-Thomas' professionalism... 

    "There are too many problems." Ye Wei sighed. "Our money doesn't know how much was wasted." 

    "How do you know?" Ye Haogen didn't understand this. How can the son see such professional financial mistakes, and also carefully diagnosed the truth. 

    "Do you really think that I am a fool?" Ye Wei shrugged and didn't want to entangle on this issue. He couldn't explain clearly. "I am your son. You don't believe me, you have to trust your DNA." As long as you go to EBAY for a walk, you know that Steinicon doesn't have to rent so expensive!" 

    Ye Haogen said with a smile, and took a few steps. "Maybe... maybe this is just an accident? What is Kevin's reason?" 

    "Dad, you That is, people are very good, but this is a sinister world." Ye Wei took out his mobile phone and said: "If you listen to this, you will know."

    He adjusted the volume of the phone to the maximum and played a recording: "Hey, only!... Kevin, where is the information?... There will be a yacht party on Santa Monica Beach tomorrow night, there will be many models to participate. ... This thing can never tell your father, can't tell anyone..." 

    After listening to this clear recording, Ye Haogen suddenly became angry and looked like a murderer, screaming: "How dare he!! You are just 15 Years old, how dare he ......!" 

    "Calm, calm!" Ye Wei was so busy, I was afraid that my father was too excited and had an accident. "I haven't been there yet? Dad, calm!" 

    Ye Haogen really can't calm down. The truth is the Thunder strike. He called the atmosphere and walked to the chair behind the desk with a little pain. Ye Wei was so scared that he handed a glass of water and continued to comfort: "Now we know, it is not too late to be a remedy, calm." 

    "Well..." Ye Haogen drank his mouth, his face was self-deprecating, lost and depressed. Smiled bitterly: "I am really a fool, see what I have done! Give 1.8 million to the bastard to come... I am stupid! Damn!" 

    Ye Wei did not say anything, just pinch his father The shoulders, silently give their support. 

    For a long time, Ye Haogen slowly calmed down. He sighed and asked: "Do you say that it is possible, the box office of "We are getting married" will be good?" 

    Ye Wei knows that he can no longer give his father any illusions, seriously Dao: "Ask my own reason, how is its quality? In my opinion, it is a big bad film." 

    Ye Haogen is still somewhat unacceptable. When the whole family watched the final cut DVD together a few days ago, Said that the filming is not very good, but the evaluation of "bad film"... 

    "Not so bad?" He rubbed his forehead, smiled bitterly like stinking, "I know that with its quality, it will not become a box office. Bomb, but as long as you can receive three million box office, that...not a very high number..."

    "No!" Ye Wei shook his head decisively: "For the "Weekly Coming", it is a very high number! The film industry is very complicated, but to put it bluntly, in one sentence: the winner takes all the food, the loser has nothing! If we don't have enough 30,000 box office in the first three theaters in the first week, our theater release will end, there will be no profit in it, we don't have it, and there is no theater. The movie is lost." 

    Ye Haogen can't refute and pick up the table. On the "Vanity Fair" movie magazine, the stars on the red carpet on the cover are full of scenery. He is holding the magazine with some uneasiness. It seems that he has to hold on to the dream of flying away... 

    "Dad, I hope you understand, Investing in independent films, losing money is a very, very normal thing. The exception is not to lose money. This is not something that should be ashamed. In any case, we should accept it calmly, at least we really got a movie. " 

    Ye Wei said in a relaxed tone and continued: "But we can't sit back and let it go to Kevin Thomas. Everything will only mess up. Dad, wait for you to be in peace." Quiet, then let's talk about the next step." 

    "Only, VIY..." Ye Haogen looked up at him and finally had some relief in his smile. "What happened to you? Unbelievable! Where did the bad boy go? 

    " Hey! Old guy, pay attention to your words, be careful, I will stand here." Ye Wei made a few exaggerated faces and laughed: "Everyone will grow up, I just feel that I am here. It's time to grow up." 

    "You make Dad very pleased." Ye Haogen nodded and patted his palm. "I'm fine, I can bear this, talk about your next step?" 

    "The loss is certain But how much is lost, but it is not necessarily, how much we can get back, how much we can get back..." 

    Ye Wei has a demon-like fierce light in his eyes, but the faint voice makes people shudder: "First, put Kevin - Thomas's nephew raised up..." 

    He clarified his plan, and Ye Haogen heard more and more shocked, so thoughtful, professional, and hot treatment, really thought of it? What do people say, he has a feeling of not seeing his son...

    ... 

    Kevin - Thomas a good mood, speaking recently more than a year, he flies very moist, thanks to a piece of hair with movie dream big fish, which is why his favorite movie! 

    I really look forward to the yacht party tonight, there is that little scum, followed by the money to pick up the girl, if it is smooth, he will hold a hot girl to sleep tonight, think about it. 

    As for the release of "Wedding is coming"? Don't be stupid, the party has no half-letter relationship with the release. 

    It's very troublesome to engage in distribution and promotion. He won't waste his energy. Anyway, the film has been smashed, and it's worthless. After finishing this, let the investors "wow, my movie is released" at their own expense, this project will Throw it into the trash can. 

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

    One morning, Kevin Thomas wandered around the beach in Santa Monica, looking around at the eye-catching tourist beauty, thinking about the party tonight... 

    When I had just had lunch, I didn't leave the seaside restaurant, his cell phone ringed. Yes, it is Ye Haogen's call. 

    "What do you want to say about this Chinese?" He slammed and pressed, his face looked annoyed, but his tone was very warm: "Hey, Haogen, good afternoon." 

    "Kevin, come over to the company right away, We have to solve some things." Ye Haogen's voice is very cold, obviously pressing a anger. 

    Kevin Thomas is a bit puzzled. Is it possible to invite a small family to a party? He was not afraid of it, the exposure was exposed, it can be said that it was just a joke, or because "too pet" Ye Wei. 

    Do not want to affect the mood, he shirked: "I am going to busy with some of the issues of the issue, what is on the phone." 

    "No matter what you have, come to the company immediately." Ye Haogen's words are very tough.

    "Well, I am going to pass." Kevin Thomas had to promise, and got up and checked out. The big fish still has some use value, and it can't be decoupled. 

    Along the way, he kept cursing: "It's a lot of things, a family idiot, FUCK..." 

    When he came to the office building without hesitation, and then went to the office of the only image, things seemed to be like him. Some of them are different. The four people are sitting on the sofa, Ye Haogen, Gu Qiao, Ye Wei, and a middle-aged man with glasses and glasses. I don't know who it is... The eyes of the 

    three people are not good. It seems to regard him as an enemy. 

    "Everyone..." Kevin Thomas couldn't help but wonder, and when he stepped up, he asked, "What's wrong?" 

    The person who made him unexpectedly stood up, not Ye Haogen, nor Gu Qiao, actually Ye Wei, that The kid smiled and said, "I will tell you what happened." 

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

    really because of this! Listening to the dialogue between himself and Ye Wei yesterday, Kevin-Thomas' face changed and he looked a little embarrassed. In fact, his heart was shocked and angry. When did the little fool record the sound and play him? mischief? ! I really want to squeeze this little girl! 

    When the recording was finished, he said with a smile: "Hagen, Joe, I am sorry, I am too petting. You know, what the teenagers think is what I want, I want him to go, I want to be soft." Bring him, it's a serious social party, and I will take care of him, nothing will happen." 

    He thinks this explanation is very good, however, Ye Haogen's and Gu Qiao's eyes are not only mild, but they are all Become sharper and can't wait to kill him. 

    "Enough." Ye Wei didn't want to see Kevin Thomas's poor, disgusting performance. "This recording just proves what kind of person you are. You thought it was just like this today? $1500 a day to rent Steadicam. What is that, the superhero's mech?!"

    He suddenly screamed, raised a document in his hand, and pulled out a rental contract certificate issued by Aide Photographic Equipment Co., Ltd., and the words were steady: "Unfortunately, the fake account you made, revealed, you are a liar." It's also revealed. Need me to remind you, Kevin Thomas, you are finished." 

    "What...what...?" Kevin Thomas looked at the two documents in a silly manner, and he couldn't figure out the situation for a while. , Steadicam? False accounts? 

    Suddenly, some memories came to my mind. He remembered, suddenly, his face was white, and he had a cold sweat... 

    How could they know?
