From a professional villain to an all-around superstar

Chapter 254: Shooting a science fiction film caused controversy
Although Ye Chen was full of confidence, Chen Desen was still a little worried.

After all, human experience decades ago has shown that science fiction movies have no place in the Dragon Kingdom.

Otherwise, Dragon Kingdom’s science fiction movies wouldn’t be in such a slump.

"Director Chen, thank you for your reminder. You don't have to persuade me. I must make a movie that belongs to us Dragon Country people."

"Although the domestic film market is not booming now, I still want to give it a try."

"Whether I succeed or fail, I want to challenge myself. Even if I fail, I can still learn something, don't you think?"

Ye Chen's words also left Director Chen speechless.

He originally wanted to persuade Ye Chen, but after thinking about Ye Chen's stubborn character, he had to give up.

He had no choice but to laugh and curse: "You won't listen to me if I advise you. Now that you have strong wings, it's normal to be a little ambitious. But I hope you will be prepared for the worst. As for other things, I don't know much about it." What did you say?"

"No matter what, Brother Chen will support you."

Ye Chen also smiled happily after hearing Chen Desen's last words.

"Thank you, Director Chen, for your support."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Director Chen was a little unsure of himself, and Ye Chen also realized how unfavorable the Dragon Kingdom science fiction film market was.

Ye Chen has also seen a lot of cynicism about Dragon Kingdom movies from foreign filmmakers.

It is said that Dragon Kingdom's science fiction movies are neither creative nor innovative, and are just like children's playing house.

Ye Chen felt that he had to stand up and open a door for Longguo's movies.

Wandering the earth is his greatest asset.

This time, it must succeed.

After a simple breakfast, Xiao Di and Yang Mi went back to sleep after dinner.

After Ye Chen finally returned to China, they put down everything in the company, just to concentrate on being with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen, on the other hand, sat in front of the computer and began to read the script and look for some information for making the movie.

For example, there are some actors in the circle who are suitable for the roles, as well as shooting locations, etc.

Occasionally, Ye Chen would open Weibo and read the messages from fans.

The number of comments under Ye Chen's post has exceeded [-].

Ye Chen was also very pleased with this.

It seems that his position in the hearts of movie fans has been consolidated.

Many die-hard fans who support Ye Chen support Ye Chen in making science fiction movies.

But there are also some passers-by who have questioned Ye Chen's shooting of science fiction movies.

Even some outsiders know that there is no market for science fiction movies in Dragon Kingdom.

Ye Chen chose such a subject, wasn't he seeking death?
"Brother Ye, you can continue to make comedies or make another "Wolf Warrior 2". Why do you want to make science fiction movies?"

"That's right. I really like the comedies made by Brother Ye. Why not make a movie that I am good at?"

"I support Brother Ye's choice. Brother Ye is a person who likes challenges. I also believe that Brother Ye will succeed."

"The title of the film "The Wandering Earth" sounds very sci-fi. I don't know how it will turn out."

"I really have no confidence in the science fiction movies of Dragon Kingdom. Do you still remember the previous movie "Fortress of Magic City"?

"I am a science fiction fan and I am looking forward to Brother Ye's science fiction movies."

Although a large number of people support Ye Chen, they still have a big question mark about the quality of the film.

The plots of Dragon Kingdom science fiction movies are very simple due to some limitations.

Therefore, many science fiction fans can only watch foreign works if they want to watch science fiction movies.

Foreign works are not only imaginative, but the special effects are also awesome.

Of course, there are also many fans who support Ye Chen.

"I believe Brother Ye will definitely surprise us. Brother Ye has proven that he can do what others can't do."

"Brother Ye just filmed "Iron Man" and I've seen the trailer. The special effects are very awesome. I believe the special effects of "The Wandering Earth" will be good as well."

"However, I think that although Brother Ye is awesome, he still can't handle sci-fi movies. If you talk about sci-fi movies, you have to watch foreign countries."

"Why can't we film it in China? I believe Brother Ye will give us the people of Longguo some credit."

Ye Chen saw that fans were leaving messages under his Weibo updates.

There is also endless controversy over Ye Chen's filming of science fiction movies.

Ye Chen also shook his head helplessly.

He knew that he would definitely encounter some doubts this time when he made a science fiction movie.

But now it seems that even many of his biggest fans have little confidence in him.

Just when Ye Chen wanted to close the page, he saw a comment that interested him very much.

"I just happened to look at the official website of Yida Group. Guess what I found?"

"Yida Group has attracted many small film and television companies and studios. Now they have invested 20.00 million in this movie, accounting for [-]% of the shares."

"Think about it, Yida Group is willing to invest [-] million in Brother Ye. They must have confidence in Brother Ye's movie."

Brother Ye was stunned after reading this comment.

At first he thought the fans were joking, but when he took a look at Yida Group's official website, he was surprised.

What that fan said is true.

Yida Group, through joint ventures, has united many small film and television companies and studios that have invested in Ye Chen's new film shares, and even acquired two studios for this purpose.

Ye Chen couldn't help but frowned.

Why are they doing this?
He gave the other party a chance at the beginning, so why not just invest [-] million directly?

There must be no chance, and a big fight afterwards. Isn't this because there is no silver 300 taels in this place?

Ye Chen understood that with Wang Xiaocong's vision, he should not be able to do such a thing, and it must be his father behind him who gave him some advice.

Ye Chen couldn't help but become interested in Wang Dalin, the boss of Yida Group.

What kind of courage made Wang Dalin trust him so much.

Even though he knew that the movie he was investing in was an unpopular movie, he still spent [-] million to support himself without hesitation.

Is he really not afraid of losing all his money?

Regarding this, Ye Chen quickly felt relieved.

After reading the statements of several small companies and studios, Ye Chen also looked at Yida Group's previous investments.

Before, Yida Group made profits and losses when investing in movies.

But after they invested in Ye Chen's movies, each one made a lot of money.

However, there are also many discussions about Yida Group's practices in the comment area.

"Yida Group actually invested [-] million yuan. I think they got it wrong this time."

"Who said that? On the contrary, I think Yida Group is very discerning. When has the movie made by our Brother Ye ever disappointed?"

"I think there is no ever-victorious general. I think this time Brother Ye shoots a science fiction film will be the first Waterloo in his film and television career."

"Boss Wang of Yida Group is very discerning in investing. Since he dares to invest, I believe he must be very confident in this movie."

……

The discussion among fans was very intense.

At this moment, on Weibo, Ye Chen and his new movie "The Wandering Earth" are also on the hot search list again.

When Wang Xiaocong attended an event, he was also blocked at the door by the news media.

"Mr. Wang, you are the person in charge of the investment of Yida Group. I heard that your company invested [-] million in Director Ye's new movie "The Wandering Earth". Are you confident that this investment will be successful?"

"Mr. Wang, we understand that you invested [-] million before, and then added another [-] million through joint ventures and acquisitions. Are you really so optimistic about Director Ye's science fiction movie?"

"Mr. Wang, are you related to Mr. Ye? Is this investment a personal relationship or for commercial interests?"

All kinds of questions were thrown in front of Wang Xiaocong.

Wang Xiaocong can be considered a person who has seen the world.

However, when faced with reporters' questions, Wang Xiaocong responded casually, gave a few official answers, and left in a hurry.

In fact, the main reason is that he himself really has no confidence in Ye Chen's movies, but his father has confidence in Ye Chen.

Of course, he couldn't say this to reporters.

Even Wang Xiaocong suddenly had a strange idea, whether this Ye Chen could be his long-lost brother.

Then, he shook his head. Ye Chen was so handsome, even more handsome than himself, so this possibility should be unlikely.

Now Wang Xiaocong also hopes that this investment can continue to make money for their Wang family.

However, this time, Ye Chen made a science fiction movie that no one in the Dragon Kingdom dared to touch. Can he really create a miracle again?

As for the interview record just now, although Wang Xiaocong said nothing, it was still posted on the Internet by major media.

"Have you noticed that Wang Xiaocong's answers to the reporters' questions were perfunctory."

"Do you think Ye Chen is really related to the boss of Yida, as it is uploaded on the Internet?"

Some unscrupulous self-media people have even created an attractive post.

"The secret of Ye Chen's life experience is revealed."

Indeed, Ye Chen's rise in the past two years has been really fast. Two years ago, Ye Chen was still a walk-on actor, but in just two years, Ye Chen has become the best actor, and has successively filmed several box office hits. Movie.

If it were said that Ye Chen had no capital support behind his back, no one would believe it.

"Damn it, no wonder Ye Chen has risen so quickly. There must be big capital support behind him."

"Yes, no wonder Ye Chen can get so many roles suitable for him. It is definitely the capital operation behind it."

"It's scary to think about it carefully. I thought Ye Chen was lucky and capable, and he got where he is today through his own efforts. It seems that I am still too young."

The post below was quickly occupied by passers-by.

More than half of these people have always been envious and jealous of Ye Chen.

Of course, this group of people is also filled with trolls bought by people in the film and television industry who are jealous of Ye Chen.

After all, Ye Chen's achievements today are really enviable.

But soon, this post was discovered by Ye Chen’s fans.

Seeing all the ugly remarks in the comments and these people's malicious speculations about Ye Chen, fans finally became angry.

Fans of Ye Chen also picked up the keyboard to reflect.

"You niggas, can you do your homework before you go black?"

"None of Brother Ye's roles are classics. Brother Ye's success depends on his own efforts."

Those words in the comments section were also speechless.

But there are still some dedicated fans who have harsh words.

"You idiot fans, please stop trying to get rid of Ye Chen. If he doesn't have capital support behind him, a bit player can get so many resources, and he is also shooting a science fiction film. Will Yida Group invest [-] million?"

"This is a science fiction movie. Everyone knows that Dragon Kingdom's science fiction movies lose money, but Yida Group invests even though it knows it loses money. What is it if it's not its own son?"

"I think the sidekick is just a cover. Ye Chen must have big capital support behind him, so he dares to play so confidently and boldly."

"Why don't you say it's Yida Group who took a fancy to Brother Ye's talent. Brother Ye's achievements in making movies are obvious to all. This is the confidence for capital to invest in Brother Ye."

"Haha, Ye Chen is awesome, but the Dragon Kingdom movie has become a laughing stock abroad, and he still dares to film it. If there is no background support behind it, who would dare to spend money on it."

"Brother Ye is a person who dares to take challenges. I support Brother Ye. He dares to come out and make a science fiction film that belongs to us Dragon Country people. It can be said that his spirit is commendable, but you maliciously slander him. It is really too much."

"I admit that although Ye Chen has many good films, there is no need to be so arrogant. He clearly knows that he will hit the street, but he still comes out to disgust people."

"Brother Ye just filmed it, does it have anything to do with you?"

"I am an audience and a consumer. Of course Ye Chen makes a garbage movie and cuts leeks, which has something to do with me."

"The filming of this movie hasn't started yet. How can you tell that it's garbage?"

"Do you still need to ask? There are a few directors in the Dragon Kingdom who can make good science fiction films. If there were, Dragon Kingdom's science fiction movies would not become the laughing stock of others abroad."

"Brother Ye is different from them. I believe in Brother Ye."

……

Ye Chen's fans and those anti-fans launched a fierce debate online.

This time, not only did some passer-by fans disagree with Ye Chen's shooting of science fiction movies, but even those in the industry who had been silent for a long time also came forward to criticize.

Some actors and directors who originally didn't like Ye Chen almost laughed out loud when they heard that Ye Chen had made a science fiction film.

Because they all know that there is a curse in China, whoever makes a science fiction film will die.

At present, this curse has not been broken.

They felt that even Ye Chen couldn't break this curse at all.

So when they learned that Ye Chen's new movie was a science fiction film, they were all ready to fight.

Among them, Feng Xiaogang, who has silenced many people, is the first to bear the brunt.

On the day Ye Chen posted on Weibo, Feng Xiaogang once again criticized Ye Chen's behavior this time.

"I think filmmakers should be down-to-earth. Nowadays, some young people have achieved some results and then start to drift off. I also advise some fans not to praise their masters too high, otherwise the higher they praise, the worse they will fall."

Although Feng Xiaogang did not name him, everyone could tell that he was alluding to Ye Chen.

Seeing Feng Xiaogang's rise to prominence, people who had always disliked Ye Chen also followed suit and attacked Ye Chen.
