Something’s wrong!
"Don't worry, President Chen, after you finished your call, I already sent people to submit the materials."
Wang Bin said with a smile.
"That's good."
Luo Xiao nodded, then took out a script and pushed it in front of Wang Bin.
"This is a new script, the theme is science fiction, and you are still the lead."
"Also, regarding this script, President Chen indicated that there are certain problems in the middle, and I have been wanting to adjust it, but I haven't had much contact with science fiction movies, so I don't know how to adjust it yet."
"You can take a look first, but the script will definitely need some changes. If you think anything is inappropriate, you can also appropriately offer your opinions."
Hearing this, Wang Bin picked up the script directly.
…
Mingri Group,
Presidents Office,
Chen Mo looked at the box office report for yesterday's movie, demon subduing record, submitted by Shen Rou, and his brows furrowed slightly.
800,000 in box office earnings,
This isn't right.
According to the movie ticket prices and the number of employees at Mingri Group, it should have capped at 200,000 at most. How could there be 800,000 in box office earnings?
What exactly is going on with the extra 600,000 in box office earnings?
Chen Mo rubbed his temples. This extra 600,000 in box office earnings was definitely not normal.
He had not requested any promotion for demon subduing record. Perhaps the movie's release would attract some curious people to buy tickets for demon subduing record, but the number couldn't possibly be this large.
There must be something going on that he didn't know about.
And this matter was highly likely to disrupt his settlement. So, he had to figure it out.
Thinking of this, he pressed the call button on the side.
Not long after,
The office door was pushed open, and Luo Xiao walked in slowly, his gaze falling on President Chen sitting in front of the desk.
"President Chen, do you have any instructions?"
He had just been preparing to discuss the new script with Wang Bin, but after just a few words, President Chen had called.
"Sit!"
Looking at Luo Xiao who had entered, Chen Mo felt a wave of resentment in his heart. He secretly let out a breath and spoke coldly.
"I watched demon subduing record. Why is the plot inside different from the script you gave me last time? Did you change the script?"
This was the key factor that caused demon subduing record to turn from a bad movie into a good one.
The perfectly fine bad movie plot had actually been changed into a copy of Monster Hunt.
Thinking of the box office of Monster Hunt in the parallel world, Chen Mo felt a pang of heartache. He didn't know if the box office of this demon subduing record could reach 2 billion, but even 1 billion was not something he could accept!
What's more, this was a critical moment approaching settlement. If he didn't handle it well, the full settlement of System Funds this time would be ruined again.
30 million!
This was the opportunity he felt was most likely to fully convert the System Funds.
After all, he had already screened all the companies under Mingri Group, and basically ensured that these companies didn't have any large amounts of income coming in.
Plus his two backup spending plans, no matter how you looked at it, it was foolproof.
But he never expected that the problem would arise from the movie he was most at ease with.
How did that perfectly fine bad movie script suddenly turn into a copy of Monster Hunt?
He really didn't understand.
Hearing President Chen's question, Luo Xiao smiled somewhat modestly.
"President Chen, the script is still that script, but I made some small changes, and it turned into this."
Some small changes?
Chen Mo looked at Luo Xiao, and the anger suppressed in his heart couldn't help but rush out directly.
Was that a small change?
Where was there any similarity between the plot in the movie and the plot in the script?
Taking a deep breath, looking at the smiling Luo Xiao, he tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Didn't I say I was very satisfied with the script? Why would you think to change the plot?"
"Oh, this was analyzed by Wei Yan and Li Shen based on your expression at the time. They said that you didn't really think highly of that script, but you didn't want to make us lose face in front of you, so you deliberately said the script was good."
"Actually, the script still had problems, so I set about changing the plot in the script. It's just like that."
"So the appearance of demon subduing record also has a lot of contribution from Wei Yan and Li Shen."
Luo Xiao had an expression of asking for credit.
What he said was also the truth. If it weren't for the analysis of Wei Yan and Li Shen, he wouldn't have realized that there was a problem with the script.
Now that he had finished watching demon subduing record, and thought back to the previous script, it was simply a bad script.
Today when he came to Mingri Group, he also investigated the employees' reactions to demon subduing record. Those employees all said one after another that demon subduing record was very good and very interesting.
While feeling relieved in his heart, he also couldn't help but feel very grateful to Wei Yan and Li Shen.
Therefore, in front of President Chen, he naturally had to mention the credit of Wei Yan and Li Shen, so that President Chen would know that this demon subduing record was not just the credit of their bad movie team.
Wei Yan, Li Shen…
Listening to the names Luo Xiao mentioned, Chen Mo was so angry he almost couldn't catch his breath.
He didn't expect that the traitor and the old fox were both involved.
No wonder,
No wonder,
They really didn't let him rest for even a moment.
And Wei Yan, he thought he had turned over a new leaf, but he didn't expect that he was still secretly playing tricks on him.
And Li Shen, he really hadn't been honest lately!
He had perfectly good, definitely money-losing Boring Short Videos, but he had to go and create an academic livestream, and then even buy learning materials and stationery for him.
It wasn't enough for them to ruin their own company, they had to intervene and ruin other companies too.
They were all quite capable, huh.
It seemed that the morning exercises hadn't tired them out enough, they still had the energy to scheme for Luo Xiao.
No,
He had to find a way to punish these guys, otherwise, he wouldn't feel comfortable.
Nowadays, the morning exercises had already doubled, if they doubled again, he might have to expand the range of the running laps.
Chen Mo pinched his eyebrows, temporarily suppressing the matter of punishment. The important thing at the moment was to first figure out the matter of the extra box office.
Slightly calming his mood, he looked up at Luo Xiao again.
"I looked at today's movie box office. As far as I know, most of the employees of Mingri Group went to watch demon subduing record last night. But if only employees went to support the movie, the box office would only be about 200,000. How did it reach 800,000?"
"Where did the extra 600,000 in traffic come from?"
This was a very important question. If he didn't figure it out, it was very likely to affect his chances of fully converting the System Funds.
Although the appearance of demon subduing record had already greatly reduced his probability of fully converting the System Funds.
But for now, as long as he controlled the speed of demon subduing record's spread, he still had a certain chance to fully convert the System Funds.
After all, he still had two backup spending plans in his hands.
He didn't hope for how low the box office of demon subduing record would be, he only hoped that before the settlement, the box office of demon subduing record wouldn't increase too much.
"President Chen, you mean the extra traffic?"
Hearing President Chen's question, Luo Xiao looked suddenly enlightened.
