"How do you want to experiment?" Hearing that Jia Yapeng had actually agreed, Director Chen quickly asked.
"It's simple. Let's go outside and get 100 people to watch 'Farewell My Concubine' for free. I'll specially arrange for this movie to have two different endings. After watching it, I'll ask them to fill in a questionnaire to see which version of the ending they prefer. Whoever gets the most support wins!" Boss Jia laughed.
"Okay!" Director Chen immediately agreed. Director Chen really didn't have the confidence to compete with Boss Jia in other aspects. After all, Boss Jia was rumored to be the richest man in Hua Xia.
Although Director Chen felt that Boss Jia reeked of money and looked down on him, he wasn't stupid. A man who could become the richest man in Hua Xia had to be extremely smart. Therefore, Director Chen knew that he couldn't beat Boss Jia in other aspects.
However, now that Jia Yapeng wanted to experiment with him on the movie, how could Director Chen refuse?
He wasn't as good as Jia Yapeng in other aspects, but how could he be worse in movies?
Moreover, Director Chen was sure that he would win this experiment. His movie's ending had been approved by the Oscar committee. How could he lose to Jia Yapeng's made-up ending?
"What if I win?" After agreeing, Director Chen immediately asked.
"I'll take the initiative to remove all the deleted versions of the movie!" Jia Yapeng said faintly.
"Okay!" Director Chen nodded vigorously.
"What if I win?" Boss Jia asked back.
"You can't win!" Director Chen was very confident.
"What if?" Jia Yapeng laughed.
"Then I won't be a director for the rest of my life. I'll sell tea eggs. Is that okay?" Director Chen said stiffly.
"Okay! Then let's go. "Jia Yapeng also agreed.
"Wait!" Director Chen suddenly stopped Jia Yapeng and said, "We can't just say it verbally. We have to write a contract and sign it!"
After arguing with Jia Yapeng just now, Director Chen fully understood the importance of a contract. Without a contract, what if this guy went back on his word? This had to be clearly written in black and white on the contract!
"Okay!" Boss Jia shrugged his shoulders. Originally, Boss Jia only wanted to dig a hole and didn't want to buy it. However, Director Chen insisted on jumping in himself. There was no other way.
So both parties started signing the contract. However, halfway through signing the contract, Director Chen shouted again.
"Wait, there's one more question!" Director Chen said.
"What is it?" Jia Yapeng asked patiently..
"I suddenly thought of something. You have money and power. If the audience is all your people, what should I do? Won't I lose without a doubt?" Director Chen said loudly.
"Then what do you want?" Boss Jia asked angrily.
"Tsinghua University is nearby. Let's go to the entrance of Tsinghua University and randomly pick 100 students to watch the movie. What do you think?" Director Chen suggested. Jia Yapeng didn't have the ability to buy the students of Tsinghua University.
"Okay …" Jia Yapeng looked at Director Chen strangely and then nodded.
"Okay!" Director Chen was also very excited. This time, he would definitely win. The quality of the students of Tsinghua University was so high. They would definitely like his version of the movie that was recognized by the Americans. He would definitely win.
Therefore, Director Zhang and Jia Yapeng appeared on Tsinghua University's campus around 2 pm. In order to prevent Boss Jia from secretly buying people, Director Zhang directly sent his five assistants to gather people.
When they heard that someone was willing to let them watch the most popular movie, Farewell My Concubine, for free, the university students naturally wouldn't refuse. They quickly gathered 100 people.
Since Tsinghua University already had a theater, Boss Jia immediately obtained the right to use the theater after making a call. At around 3 pm, Farewell My Concubine started airing in Tsinghua University's theater.
The three-hour movie was still very long. By the time the movie finished airing, it was already 6 pm.
Similarly, when the movie finished airing, the entire theater was immediately filled with enthusiastic applause. Director Chen also took the initiative to walk out.
"Director Chen!" The students of Tsinghua University were indeed the most knowledgeable people. Many of them recognized Director Chen at a glance. They didn't expect the director of Farewell My Concubine to come to their school. This was too much of an honor.
"Everyone, you must be wondering why I suddenly appeared here!" Director Chen said with a hint of grief and indignation in his voice. "Actually, I'd like to invite all of you to be the judges and help me make a judgment!"
"I believe everyone has already seen that in the movie just now, there were a total of two different versions of the ending. The ending where Chen Dieyi committed suicide was the original ending of the movie! "
"As for the ending where the two of them lived until the 90s, it was modified by someone. Now that I have a dispute with that person, I hope everyone can be the judge and tell us which ending is the best in your hearts!"
"Of course it's the ending where they die!"
"That's right. I thought that the ending was a little too abrupt. So it was modified later!"
The students expressed their opinions one after another. This filled Director Chen's heart with confidence, and he felt that he would definitely win.
"Alright then. Next, I'll invite that friend over. We'll stand separately on the stage. Everyone, according to your choice, stand behind the two of us. Whoever has more people behind them will have a better ending! " Director Chen continued, and the audience instantly became lively. They were all supporting Director Chen's decision.
"Boss Jia, please come out!" Director Chen said proudly to the backstage. Then, Boss Jia walked out leisurely. He looked at the students below the stage with a smile on his face.
"Senior Jia …" The students below the stage were all stunned when they saw Jia Yapeng. They never expected that the person who was competing with Director Chen would be their own Senior Jia.
If one looked closely, they would realize that about 10% of the students could recognize Director Chen at a glance. But now, almost all of the students could recognize their Senior Jia at a glance.
"Alright, everyone, make your choice!" Director Chen said with a smile. At this moment, he still didn't realize how bad the situation was.
