Chapter 67 Dilemma
You madman, you are just wasting your time being a happy and carefree young man.

Come and make a weird movie with him!

Sure enough, some people who engage in art have a bit of abnormal spirit... Li Qing complained in his heart, although Xu Longbo's artistic aesthetics is really bad.

These days, Li Qing has been a little curious about how bad Xu Longbo's movies are that would make his fans seem to have Stockholm syndrome, and all fans would give him the title of the worst.

So, Li Qing took some time to look for some plot explanation videos, but to be honest, they were a bit difficult to find.

Moreover, the content of each commentary video that can be found is different, highlighting a wild imagination, as if a guy who has eaten poisonous mushrooms slapped his butt, then squatted on paper and "shit" it out.

Halfway through, Li Qing couldn't stand it anymore and chose to admit defeat.

On the road of death, I would like to call you the strongest!
And, Li Qing also confirmed one thing.

In terms of ratings, Xu Longbo definitely cheated!
"So, that sissy, after mortgaging his stocks and getting a few million, couldn't wait to come and cause trouble for us?"

Li Qing didn't know what to feel, so he could only confirm with a complicated tone.

Please, you have millions of dollars to do something else instead of coming here to get angry with him.

I don’t understand anything and dare not ask anything. I can only say... as long as you are happy.

"Well, he probably isn't stupid enough to throw it all away, but it is estimated that the liquid funds he has will never be less than five million, or even more."

Chu Qingcheng was also silent. Although she didn't hang out in the circle of wealthy children in Shancheng, she knew about it.

Don’t be fooled by how wild the young men and women in the circle play.

Anyone who really throws away the stocks he has saved will definitely be called a fool in his heart.

They can still tell the difference between having one meal full and having every meal full.

Li Qing and Chu Qingcheng looked at each other in silence. They couldn't understand Xu Longbo's intention. It was so terrifying.

Then, Chu Qingcheng looked as if she was at a loss for words, as if she wanted to say something but was hesitant.

"What's the matter, Miss Chu, is there anything else you want to say?"

Seeing Chu Qingcheng's embarrassment, Li Qing asked sympathetically.

Chu Qingcheng recalled a phone call she had received not long ago. She certainly did not just investigate the source of Xu Longbo's funds. This was not very important, although she was indeed shocked at first.

But what wasted more of Chu Qingcheng's time was another thing.

"Give up, Miss Qingcheng." A cold female voice came from the other end of the phone, "The company believes that this script has no market investment value at all and is not worth investing in."

"And I don't think it even has the most basic ability to make back its investment."

"The director and crew are newcomers who have never worked in the film and television industry. From the perspective of evaluating the quality of the script and its commercial value, I don't think they are a good fit."

"But, Sister Xiaowei, aren't you the company's gold medal venture capitalist?" Chu Qingcheng said in a low voice with a hint of coquettishness, "Please help us. We don't want much, just a little more investment will do."

Yes, Chu Qingcheng’s personal piggy bank was not enough, and she wanted to try to get some investment from the company.

After all, it is too unrealistic to think that you can compete with Xu Longbo's five million or even tens of millions with one million.

"It is precisely because I am the company's gold medal venture capitalist that I cannot speak nonsense." The woman called Sister Xiaowei said seriously, even in a tone of teaching Chu Qingcheng a lesson, "If you want to get the company's investment, then please let the person in charge tell their plan openly, instead of playing useless emotional cards."

But her tone softened a little later, not wanting Chu Qingcheng to be too stiff. "But for your sake, Qingcheng, I can make an exception and give him a chance to take some time to listen."

It's because you always look like a strong woman who handles things in a businesslike manner, and exude an aura that keeps people away from you, making others afraid to approach you. That's why you can't get married and have become a bachelor. When you were drunk, you kept complaining to me that your family asked you to go on blind dates!

Chu Qingcheng was thinking something very impolite in her heart. Of course, she would never say it in front of Jiang Wei herself, not even mention it a little bit.

Otherwise, Jiang Wei himself would definitely get furious.

Then Chu Qingcheng won’t have a good vacation...

Who would understand? Your best friend is an excellent student and a role model and a child of other people's families in everyone's eyes. As a result, she directly applied for a private tutor job with your father.

In order to prevent this best friend who was both her teacher and friend from losing control, Chu Qingcheng never mentioned any love, hate, or grudges in front of her if possible. It was really scary.

Chu Qingcheng sometimes wondered if Jiang Wei would light a few candles and make straw men to curse all couples on Valentine's Day.

"Please, Sister Xiaowei, just... just a little bit is enough." In order to attract investment, Chu Qingcheng had no choice but to go all out and said sweetly, "Besides, it's rare on the market, maybe it will become popular unexpectedly."

Although Chu Qingcheng knew that Jiang Wei's meticulous nature would never be persuaded, just as she said.

The emotional card doesn't work on Jiang Wei, she only recognizes the facts.

But what if?
If Jiang Wei really lost his mind, he might agree.

"There is no market for feature films. Give up."

Obviously, Chu Qingcheng's plan failed.

Not only was Jiang Wei not moved, but he directly sentenced it to three consecutive death sentences.

"The most popular genres in the market right now are youth romance dramas, comedy dramas, and costume dramas. Seventy percent of each season is these or their variations."

“For other themes, it’s hard to even make a profit, let alone a big upset.”

"Besides, it's the summer vacation now, and all the big studios are releasing all kinds of dramas, so the competition is ridiculously difficult."

"If you want to compete with them at the box office, you just need to be careful not to be so miserable that the theaters directly withdraw the movie early."

Chu Qingcheng puffed up her cheeks and said with a bit of dissatisfaction:

"That still leaves 30 percent of the market. There will always be audiences who are tired of the same old love stories."

Although Chu Qingcheng initially invested just for fun, and she herself did not really like this kind of heavy realistic film, but now it is her investment after all, and she is one of our own.

I still feel a little dissatisfied when Jiang Wei belittles me as useless.

"Really? But you know what?"

"Of the remaining 30%, 25% are romance and comedy, and the rest are half-dead science fiction and reality themes."

"Oh, yes, and the timeless but tired historical adaptation movies."

"Blind Heart" wants to break the status quo... I can only say... it's a fantasy."
