Ye Lingchen was not short of money. On the contrary, he had a lot of spare cash.
Huo Yuanjia's box office had brought him 300 million in income. In addition to the 500 million he earned in Las Vegas, he had 800 million in total!
He gave Xiao Feifei 50 million to fund the establishment of the film company, and another 50 million to Song Qian to run Panda Streaming. That left him with 700 million.
It seemed that the 50 million was too little. That was due to his inexperience and lack of understanding of the market.
Thinking of that, he felt slightly annoyed.
He was so rich. No matter what, he had to buy a building to match his status!
"Lingchen, what are you thinking about?" Xiao Feifei looked at Ye Lingchen's expression and could not help but ask.
"I want to buy a building!"
Xiao Feifei said, "Lingchen, stop fooling around."
"Sister Feifei, how much does a building here cost?" Ye Lingchen asked coolly.
"Two hundred thousand yuan per square meter here. A building of five thousand square meters would require one hundred million. If you include the renovation, it would cost at least one and a half billion. Moreover, if it's really a building, the water and electricity bills would also be terrifying. If it's a company, labor costs, property management fees, and …" Xiao Feifei counted carefully.
"Cough cough, Sister Feifei, let's stop fooling around …"
…
Ye Lingchen's heart was instantly shattered. It was a huge blow. Poverty had indeed limited his imagination.
He looked at the materials on Xiao Feifei's table. There were profiles sent by others. Many of them were students from Capital Media University or the University of the Arts. There were also some who wanted to be screenwriters.
Apart from that, there were also scripts sent by others. There were TV series scripts, movie scripts, and even variety show scripts.
"Sister Feifei, there are so many materials. How long are you going to keep looking at them?" Ye Lingchen could not help but frown. No wonder Xiao Feifei had lost so much weight. Even a normal person would not be able to handle it.
The materials and information were all different. There were all kinds of things. Ye Lingchen roughly scanned through them and felt a headache coming on.
"Why don't you let others review it?" Ye Lingchen asked.
"Lingchen, this is a critical period. You have to do it yourself." Sister Lin had no choice but to step forward and explain, "Our company has just been established and we don't have any works yet. We need to be an instant hit. Therefore, we must choose our first work carefully. If we let an outsider choose, it's hard to guarantee the success."
"Is that so …" Ye Lingchen nodded, then picked up the materials on the table and flipped through them. He could not help but shake his head.
"These scripts are too trashy!" He read very quickly, and the more he read, the more uncomfortable he felt. In the end, he simply threw the stack of scripts into the trash can.
"Good scripts have long been bought by big film companies. It's too difficult to make a big wave and pick up the leftovers." Ye Lingchen said to Xiao Feifei, "Sister Feifei, Sister Lin, have a good rest. I'm the boss of this company. Leave the script to me."
"Give it to you?" Xiao Feifei looked at Ye Lingchen, but immediately thought of Huo Yuanjia. That explosive box office film was written by Ye Lingchen.
"That's right, leave it to me!" Ye Lingchen thumped his chest loudly, full of confidence. "I'll definitely give Sister Feifei a satisfactory answer in less than three days."
"Pfft!"
Xiao Feifei was tickled by Ye Lingchen. The pressure on her during this period was greatly reduced, and she was completely relaxed. "Alright, Lingchen, I'll leave it to you. However, don't push yourself too hard."
"Don't worry, Sister Feifei."
After chatting for a while, Ye Lingchen went downstairs. Xiao Feifei did not follow him, afraid of causing a commotion.
Ye Lingchen stood at the door and looked around. He planned to finish his lunch first, then help Xiao Feifei pack a portion for her.
"Hey, brother, are you here for the interview too?" At that moment, a person in a brown shirt with hair wax on his head walked up.
That person looked like a student, not much older than Ye Lingchen, and acted as if he was a close friend.
Beside him was a companion with slicked-back hair, squinting eyes, and a wretched smile.
"I'm Lu Xiaobu. He's Chen Chichi, a performing arts student from Capital City Academy of Arts. He's here for the interview," Lu Xiaobu said.
"F * ck! Why did you steal my line? " Chen Chichi pushed Lu Xiaobu to the side and straightened his body. "Let me reintroduce myself. The good man is me. I'm … Chen Chichi!"
After saying that, his eyebrows twitched up and down, and his wretched temperament became even more apparent.
"I'm Ye Lingchen, Capital University, literature major," Ye Lingchen said with a smile, looking at them thoughtfully.
"Nice to meet you. So you're a literature major … F * ck? What did you say you're majoring in? "The two of them thought they misheard and looked at Ye Lingchen in shock.
"Literature," Ye Lingchen said calmly.
"Literature major? Can I come here for the interview? " Lu Xiaobu was a little confused, but then he waved his hand nonchalantly. "That's not the point! piupiu！ Look over there! "
Following the direction of his finger, there were three girls standing there. Moreover, they were all young women with light makeup on their faces and dressed fashionably. Be it their faces or figures, they were all top notch. They would be goddesses in any school.
"There are three beauties over there. They're standing under the sun, enduring the scorching heat. Brother Ye, I bet that if we invite them for lunch now, they won't refuse!" Lu Xiaobu looked at Ye Lingchen with a wretched expression, giving him a look that everyone understood. "There are three of us, and they happen to be three as well. Hehehe …"
Chen Chichi also chimed in, "Brother Ye, we're sharing such a good opportunity because we hit it off. Let's not waste any more time. Who knows if someone else might get it first."
"Sure." Ye Lingchen smiled and followed the two of them over.
"Beauties, it's fate that we met. Why don't we have a meal together?" Lu Xiaobu said.
"That … I think we shouldn't," one of them said. Her voice was very gentle, and it was obvious that she was from a wealthy family.
"Oh, forget it then," Ye Lingchen said calmly, then turned around and left.
"Eh? Eh! "
Lu Xiaobu was stunned. Chen Chichi was stunned. Even the three beauties were stunned.
"Handsome, don't go!"
The slightly shorter girl quickly pulled Ye Lingchen back. "Handsome, why don't you invite us again? Who knows, we might just say yes. You know that us girls are a little reserved?"
"That's right. Actually, we're not very reserved either. You don't have to invite us three times. Twice will do," another girl added.
"It's too troublesome. Forget it." Ye Lingchen waved his hand, looking like he was going to leave at any moment.
"We agree! We'll agree, alright? "The three beauties hurriedly said in unison.
