The villain must spend all his money before he goes bankrupt [Transmigration Book]

Unlike Ye Zhou's recent smooth sailing, the protagonist Gong Shou has been unlucky for the past two days.

In order to film the copyright of "War City", Jiang Yu invested almost all the funds in his hands, including the private money his mother had saved over the years.

Even mortgaged the company that was finally established.

Although the current legal person of the company is still him, in fact, the company is not entirely his own until he has paid off the loan owed.

Jiang Yu originally thought that given the fame of his previous works, it would not be difficult to find investment for "Battle City 2". Even if he was embarrassed, it was only temporary.

However, the facts proved that even though Jiang Yu held the copyright of "Battle City 2", there were indeed many investors who were interested in it, but if they want to get them to pay, they must share the equivalent benefits in exchange.

It was a piece of fat, and everyone wanted a bite.

If Jiang Yu wants to monopolize this piece of fat, unless Jiang Yu can get rid of Jiang Tingyuan early and take his place as the successor of the Jiang family, it will be a daydream.

If Jiang Yu wants to monetize "Battle City 2", at present, unless he resells the copyright or finds another company to co-produce, otherwise he will not expect to get a penny in the short term.

However, Jiang Yu was in desperate need of funds right now, and he didn't have enough funds. He couldn't even pay for the screenwriter to adapt "Battle City 2".

In desperation, Jiang Yu chose Peak Entertainment, which had better conditions, to cooperate with Xingrui Media among several companies that extended an olive branch.

Jiang Yu shared the copyright, and Dingfeng and Xingrui capital invested in the shares, tentatively scheduled to be jointly completed by the three parties.

In this way, Jiang Yu finally collected some funds in his hands, although the money was not much.

There is no doubt that this will be a well-deserved big production, but a big production means a long shooting cycle. During the filming period, Jiang Yu can't do nothing.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but the foreign debt he owes is not allowed. Although the interest on the loan is not as terrible as usury, after all, the amount is there, and Jiang Yu really can't bear it after a few years.

What's more, Jiang Yu also wanted to raise more funds before the filming of "Battle City 2" officially started, so as to strive for more box office.

As the main character, Cheng Ran's benefactor, Jiang Yu is so poor, Cheng Ran's life is naturally not easy.

In this case, making money is bound to be on the agenda.

Just at this time, a screenwriter from Jiangyu Company handed over a script to Cheng Ran's eyes, and after the two discussed it, they planned to make a big difference.

Cheng Ran worked as a producer on the film crew. During the preparation process of the film crew, he accidentally learned that the young director Jiang Tingyuan had taken care of was also planning to make a movie recently.

Cheng Ran had never had contact with Ye Zhou before, except for Jiang Yu's occasional mention, the only time the two had contact was at the auction.

It may be that Ye Zhou left such a deep impression on him at that auction that Cheng Ran didn't have a good impression of him, but had an instinctive dislike for him.

After learning that Ye Zhou was casting, Cheng Ran accidentally found the actor's contact information, and hired him to his crew at twice the price.

But this didn't seem to affect the progress of Ye Zhou's crew.

Seeing that Ye Zhou's crew was about to start up, Cheng Ran felt inexplicably flustered.

There seemed to be a voice telling him that Ye Zhou couldn't make this film smoothly.

By mistake, Cheng Ran found Wang Hong, the assistant director of "Chasing the Murderer".

Sure enough, Wang Hong had a deep grudge against Ye Zhou, and Cheng Ran didn't need to say anything more, he had already patted his chest and promised to ruin Ye Zhou's reputation.

So, Cheng Ran gritted his teeth and secretly sold most of the luxury goods and cars that Jiang Yu bought for him before, part of which was given to Wang Hong as a reward, and the other part was used to fuel the flames and buy water after things fermented. military.

Things went smoothly. After Wang Hong spoke, Ye Zhou immediately became the target of public criticism, and several actors who had just been appointed ran away at once.

Just when Cheng Ran was about to add some more firewood to make the fire burn more vigorously, unexpectedly, the situation that was originally good suddenly turned down suddenly.

First, someone removed Ye Zhou's hot search at a high price.

Before Cheng Ran could continue to buy, things about Liu Yunlan and Wang Hong were exposed.

In front of a popular little flower like Liu Yunlan, a behind-the-scenes director like Ye Zhou is naturally not attractive.

The situation was reversed in an instant. If Cheng Ran wanted to put Ye Zhou on the trending list again, he would have to spend money, but he didn't have any money to spend on it.

The only one who would spend a lot of money to protect Ye Zhou at such a time is Ye Zhou's financial backer, Jiang Tingyuan.

Sometimes people are not afraid of big gaps, but they are afraid of comparing them together.

Before meeting Jiang Tingyuan, Cheng Ran always thought that Jiang Yu was good enough for him, and he should be content.

But after seeing Jiang Tingyuan spend a lot of money for Ye Zhou, and then comparing Jiang Yu...

Cheng Ran shook his head, not daring to think about it any further.

Seeing that Ye Zhou's production crew has successfully started up, and it is getting better and better day by day, but he is still worried about losing money for Wang Hong's mess.

Cheng Ran felt as if a cat was scratching him, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

At this moment, his phone rang. Cheng Ran took the phone, and when he saw the number on the screen clearly, he pressed hang up without hesitation.

However, the phone seems to have made up their minds, as long as Cheng Ran doesn't answer, they will call one after another without stopping frantically.

Cheng Ran was disturbed by the ringing, frowned and was about to turn off the phone, but he slid his hand to answer it.

As soon as the phone was picked up, a man's furious voice came from the other side.

"Mr. Cheng, in order to help you, the reputation I have accumulated in the industry for so long has been completely ruined. How can you let me hang around in the circle in the future?!"

Cheng Ran said directly: "I don't understand what you're talking about. You're jealous of Ye Zhou from the beginning to the end of this matter. What does it have to do with me?"

Wang Hong's throat choked, but he didn't understand what Cheng Ran meant.

"If you hadn't found me, how the hell would I have provoked Ye Zhou? Why would I have to deal with myself?!"

His voice broke because of being too angry, and it was heard in Cheng Ran's ears together with the sound of violent panting and electric current.

Different from his fury, Cheng Ran's expression was very calm, and he spoke without haste.

"Director Wang, I think you misunderstood. I found you before because I wanted to cooperate with you in a movie."

Cheng Ran's voice paused for a moment, and continued: "However, Director Wang probably doesn't have the energy to work recently, so let's forget it. Let's cooperate next time if we have a chance."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Ran didn't want to pay attention to Wang Hong any more, and was about to hang up the phone.

Unexpectedly, Wang Hong's furious voice on the phone suddenly calmed down strangely, and was replaced by a sneer.

Cheng Ran paused his hands when he hung up the phone, feeling an inexplicable sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Soon his uneasiness was confirmed. After Wang Hong sneered, he lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Cheng, is he going to take care of me?"

"Then don't blame me for dragging you to hell." He suddenly laughed, "Isn't it my first day, Wang Hong, in this circle? Do you think I'm not prepared at all?"

Without waiting for Cheng Ran's reaction, Wang Hong said again: "Anyway, my reputation is already rotten, so I don't care. I just don't know if Mr. Cheng's movie that just started recently may be affected."

"Deliberately poaching actors at high prices, spending money on popular searches to smear fellow directors, malicious competition, and a reputation for low-handed tactics will definitely not be washed away."

Speaking of this, Wang Hong seemed to suddenly think of something, slapped his head, and suddenly raised his tone: "Oh, by the way, I heard that Mr. Cheng and Jiang Yujiang from Jianghe Media are always good friends. Just bought the copyright of "War City 2"."

"Even if you are not afraid of being affected, then..." Wang Hong deliberately lengthened the ending, "Is Jiang always afraid?"

As soon as he said this, Cheng Ran couldn't maintain the calmness just now, and his face suddenly lost all color.

But he still tried to stay calm and sneered: "Director Wang, who are you scaring? I have no grievances with Ye Zhou. What reason do I have to smear him? Even if you say it, who is there?" Will you believe it?"

"I'm not going around in circles with you either. I recorded the words we said when we met." Wang Hong is obviously not a vegetarian either.

Too lazy to continue entanglement with Cheng Ran, he simply said: "I don't want much, 500 million. Call my card before [-] o'clock tomorrow night, and we will settle this matter."

"If I don't receive the transfer before eight o'clock..." Wang Hong smiled lightly, not hiding his threat: "Then I'm sorry, and now that so many people are paying attention, I will post the audio of our chat on Weibo .”

The phone was hung up.

Cheng Ran's hand holding the phone kept tightening, his knuckles began to turn white due to too much force, and blood came out of his lips biting unconsciously.

After a long time, Cheng Ran finally couldn't restrain himself, and directly smashed the phone to the ground.

The shattered screen flickered, but eventually went off completely.

The staff who heard the movement outside the lounge knocked on the door and asked outside the door: "Producer Cheng, are you okay?"

"It's okay, the cup accidentally fell on the floor." Cheng Ran took a deep breath, suppressed the grievance in his heart, and tried to make his voice sound normal.

After the staff left, Cheng Ran collapsed on the chair as if exhausted.

What to do now.

Not only did it not affect Ye Zhou, but it caused him a mess.

Wang Hong asked for 500 million. Where could Cheng Ran get him 500 million? If he really had 500 million, how could Ye Zhou be so easily searched.

……

In the evening, the crew finished work.

Cheng Ran returned home with a big bag of vegetables, only to find that the house was pitch black.

Putting the things in his hand on the shoe cabinet, Cheng Ran felt the darkness to press the switch, but before he could touch the switch, he was hugged into a warm embrace.

Jiang Yu's unique aura made him gradually relax his vigilance, and Cheng Ran stretched out his arms to hug Jiang Yu back.

Keenly aware of Jiang Yu's abnormality, Cheng Ran asked softly, "A Yu, why didn't you turn on the light when you got back?"

Jiang Yu didn't speak, but hugged Cheng Ran even tighter.

Since the two have known each other for so long, Jiang Yu seldom shows weakness in front of Cheng Ran, he is always proud, domineering and rebellious.

Cheng Ran was startled, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a slow tone: "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

Jiang Yu didn't answer, just maintained the action just now, motionless as if falling asleep.

The room was quiet, Cheng Ran hesitated for a while, and finally responded to the hug.

Burying her head in Jiang Yu's arms, she let go of the boredom accumulated in her heart during this period of time, and enjoyed this moment of peace.

Cheng Ran kept comforting himself in his heart, that all the bad things in front of him were only temporary.

At least they still own the copyright of "War City 2". As long as there is enough time, this movie will become a cash cow sooner or later, bringing them five times, or even ten times the profit.

As for Ye Zhou, the reason why he was so proud was not because Jiang Tingyuan was behind him.

But Ye Zhou is just a small plaything that Jiang Tingyuan keeps in the final analysis. How long he can be good depends on how long Jiang Tingyuan's freshness towards him lasts.

He was a little curious, when Jiang Tingyuan got bored and didn't want to clean up the mess for him, how would this idiot Ye Zhou deal with himself.

However, what Cheng Ran apparently didn't realize was that...

If the relationship between Ye Zhou and Jiang Tingyuan is a nurturing relationship, then what is the relationship between him and Jiang Yu.

What is the difference between him and Ye Zhou?Could it be that he really thought that the relationship between others was support, and that the relationship between him and Jiang Yu was true love?

If there is a difference, the only difference may be that Jiang Ting is far richer than Jiang Yu, both of whom are fosters.

This hug lasted for a long time, so long that Cheng Ran's legs were a little numb. He let go of his hand and pulled Jiang Yu towards the living room.

On Jiang Yu's body, Cheng Ran smelled a strong smell of alcohol, and asked softly, "A Yu, how much wine have you drank, I'll make you a bowl of hangover soup first."

Jiang Yu ignored Cheng Ran, the hand on his waist kept tightening, and Cheng Ran felt a little painful.

He patted Jiang Yu's hand, and said coquettishly: "You scratched me, let go, drink some hangover soup first, or you will have a headache tomorrow."

Jiang Yu seemed to have really drank too much, lost his usual pride and arrogance, and miraculously acted like a good baby, obediently let go of his hand.

Cheng Ran planted a soft kiss on his face, stood up, and was just about to pick up the scattered vegetables, but before he could take two steps, someone grabbed his wrist.

Immediately afterwards, the waist was hugged from behind, and the whole person was held in Jiang Yu's arms, unable to move.

Cheng Ran thought Jiang Yu was acting like a baby, and he obviously enjoyed Jiang Yu's rare softness under his domineering appearance.

Letting Jiang Yu hold him, the two stayed tenderly in this posture for a long time.

In the end, Cheng Ran let go first, patted Jiang Yu's arm, and coaxed softly: "Okay, Ah Yu, can you wait for me in the living room first, I will be back soon."

Jiang Yu didn't move at all.

After repeated persuasion to no avail, Cheng Ran felt a little helpless, so he had no choice but to try to open his fingers little by little.

After finally breaking Jiang Yu's hand away, Cheng Ran was about to turn on the light when he suddenly heard Jiang Yu's voice behind him.

"Akizawa..."

"In the end, when will you come back..."

Jiang Yu's voice was a little hoarse due to drinking, and the volume was not loud, but when it reached Cheng Ran's ears, it made the blood in his whole body freeze as if in an instant.
