Chapter 255: This is a Talent

Skrrt!

Chen Mo subconsciously tapped the brakes.

Losing money!

Lost 30 million.

High investments in making movies, filming a few terrible movies, with dismal box office results.

This is truly a great way to lose money.

Looking through the rearview mirror at the somewhat emotional Luo Xiao, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel an appreciation for his talent.

This is definitely a talent.

He gambled his entire family fortune on making movies; he has guts.

Letting him direct movies while he has enough System Funds for him to squander is just too perfect.

However, Luo Xiao is still drunk right now, so it's not the time to discuss this.

I'll wait until he sobers up tomorrow to have a chat with him; I must secure such a talent.

Arriving at the hotel,

He opened a Room, threw the two of them onto the bed, and Chen Mo closed the door and left directly.

As for tidying them up or changing their clothes, there was no such service.

Leaving the hotel, he took the opportunity to send the two female classmates home. Their homes were both in the county and they lived in the same Complex, so it didn't take much time at all.

"Thanks, Scholar Chen."

The two female classmates waved with a smile.

Chen Mo also waved his hand and got into the car to leave.

"Is this Chen Mo very low-key? Our company has one of those Mercedes business vans, and it costs over 600,000."

"Is that expensive? Didn't they say the Garment factory isn't making money?"

"That's why I said he's low-key. A top student is a top student; not only are his grades good, but his career is also very impressive. More importantly, he doesn't show off."

"That's true. Just now at dinner, a few male classmates were intentionally or unintentionally placing their car keys on the table. Compared to Chen Mo, they are far behind."

"…"

The two female classmates discussed as they walked into the Complex.

Early morning.

The sky was just beginning to brighten.

Luo Xiao slowly opened his eyes and wanted to get up, but felt something wrapped around his waist and thighs.

Looking down in confusion, he saw a man hugging his waist and sleeping soundly, with a leg pressing over his own.

What is going on!

Luo Xiao was a bit dumbfounded and looked around the Room blankly.

He found that he was not familiar with the environment at all.

Where is this?

How did I get here? Wasn't I at the class reunion?

While thinking.

Some chaotic memory fragments appeared in his mind.

Did I drink too much and get sent to a hotel?

Luo Xiao gradually recalled what happened and realized that the person hugging his waist while sleeping was his classmate, Wang Bin.

Thinking about what happened after he got drunk, Luo Xiao patted his head in annoyance.

It's over.

The secret of him losing money making movies has been spread.

Looking at Wang Bin, who was sleeping soundly, Luo Xiao moved his body, trying to break free from the restraint.

After all, for two grown men to be in this position, it felt inappropriate no matter how he thought about it.

While moving,

Wang Bin also gradually woke up, rubbed his eyes, and looked up.

"Brother Xiao, you're awake."

"Yeah, but can you please get off me first?"

Luo Xiao looked at Wang Bin, who was still clinging to him, and said with an unnatural expression.

"Okay!"

Hearing this, Wang Bin quickly got up, hugged the quilt, and leaned against the head of the bed.

Looking at Wang Bin hugging the quilt, Luo Xiao was speechless. Your action makes it look like I did something to you.

Knock, knock, knock!

A knock on the door suddenly came.

Luo Xiao checked his clothes; they were still intact, so he got out of bed, walked to the door, and opened it.

"Chen Mo!"

Seeing the person at the door, Luo Xiao spoke subconsciously.

Based on the memory fragments from last night he just recalled, he knew that it was Chen Mo who sent them to the hotel.

"Thank you so much for last night."

"It's nothing. We're all classmates; helping each other is only right."

Chen Mo replied with a smile while lifting the breakfast in his hand.

"You haven't had breakfast yet, right? I bought some; you can eat while it's hot."

This Luo Xiao is a talent he has his eye on; he must take this opportunity to recruit him.

"Thanks!"

Luo Xiao didn't say much and took the breakfast Chen Mo handed over.

At the same time, he woke up Wang Bin in the Room.

Placing the breakfast on a square table in the Room, the two began to eat.

The breakfast was very simple, just some steamed buns, millet porridge, and a glass of milk.

Neither of them was picky and they both devoured it greedily.

Besides, after drinking so much alcohol last night, millet porridge and milk were the best food to have right now.

Good for the stomach!

"Brother Mo, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I might have been sleeping on the street."

Wang Bin thanked him while eating.

He had also gradually recalled what happened last night.

"It's nothing."

Chen Mo waved his hand with a smile and then turned to look at Luo Xiao.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

Luo Xiao nodded.

"Can I ask about your movie losses? Don't misunderstand; it's just that I'm also preparing to invest in movies and wanted to learn a bit from you."

Chen Mo asked.

Although Luo Xiao said last night that he lost money making movies, to be safe, he still wanted to ask clearly.

Hearing this, Luo Xiao paused with the steamed bun in his hand, then smiled resignedly.

Since this matter has already gotten out, he had nothing left to hide.

"I did indeed lose money making movies, and not just one, but two. I've made two movies in total, and both lost money."

"For the first movie, I invested over 8 million, and in the end, it sold over 2 million at the box office."

"However, I thought I had learned from the failure of this movie, so I directly invested in a second one. This time, I put in most of my family's savings. It totaled 35 million, and in the end, there was only 5 million in box office revenue."

At this point, Luo Xiao laughed at himself.

He was still too arrogant. Ever since he graduated from the directing department of the drama academy, he thought the whole world was his and that he could definitely make a blockbuster movie.

But what was the result? Reality slapped him hard in the face twice.

Some things aren't just about having confidence; you still need enough experience.

These two failed experiences told him that wanting to make a good movie isn't something you can achieve just with enthusiasm.

From the script to the filming, and then to the final editing, every place and every detail is of the utmost importance.

It's a pity.

It's too late to realize this; he has already squandered most of his family's assets.

If it weren't for the fact that his family owns a mine, they wouldn't have been able to support him in such consumption.

Listening to Luo Xiao's account, it turned out he didn't just fail one movie, but two.

Making two movies and both losing money, this just shows that Luo Xiao isn't cut out to be a director.

Chen Mo was even more convinced that this was the talent he needed.

Looking at Luo Xiao, who was eating, he spoke with a smile.

"Then have you thought about making another movie?"

"I can't anymore. My family doesn't have any extra money for me to squander."

Luo Xiao shook his head with a bitter smile.
