Chapter 606 - 313: I Think You’re Not Enough

Chapter 606: Chapter 313: I Think You’re Not Enough

’The key is, this is money practically falling into my lap. But only investing 60 million seems like a raw deal. If only I could invest a bit more.’

Just then, Guo Fan began his pitch. "Mr. Chen, *Wandering Blue Star* is adapted from a novel, so it already has a solid audience base. And to create this film, I’ve also brought in..."

He went on at length, trying to persuade Chen Jincheng.

But Chen Jincheng was lost in his own calculations, not hearing a word he said. After a moment of thought, he cut straight to the point, "Director Guo, would you mind sending me the script for *Wandering Blue Star* right now?"

’No matter what, I have to see the script first. If the script is the same, then with the same team and the same plot, as long as the money is spent on special effects, this movie is basically guaranteed to be a blockbuster.’

It could be said that Huaxia was in desperate need of its own proper sci-fi epic.

’Thankfully, there’s no Lu Han in this world. I wonder if that movie that slammed the door shut on Huaxia’s hard sci-fi genre will still appear.’

Across from him, Guo Fan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then his face lit up with joy. He hurried out to get the script.

’He’s willing to read the script! That means there’s a chance! He’s not like the others who got scared off the moment they heard the investment cost.’

’Besides, since he saw the potential in *Nameless*, it proves he really has a good eye.’

He was very confident in his own script.

A short while later, Guo Fan returned. He added Chen Jincheng via private message and sent over the script file.

After receiving the script, Chen Jincheng addressed his livestream audience, "I’ve just received the script from Director Guo. I’m going to review it with my film department team and discuss it. It’ll take some time before I can give you all an answer."

With that, he also gave instructions to Sun Ji and the other man, "President Sun, President Zhao, come over and take a look at the script for Director Guo’s movie."

Sun Ji and Zhao Lei’s faces lit up with delight. They never expected that just coming to meet the big boss would land them such a major project.

’Seriously, if this project succeeds, it’ll be the first big shot for Er Shi Xingchen Film and Television.’

Most importantly, this new boss wasn’t just playing around—he was serious.

After their initial excitement, they became serious.

They understood that this might also be the new boss’s way of testing them, so they couldn’t afford to make a single mistake.

The two were pulled into a WeChat group and also sent the script for *Wandering Blue Star*.

They immediately began to read it intently.

Chen Jincheng even turned the livestream camera on the two of them, putting them on screen for a moment. He really did want to test them and see if their evaluation of *Wandering Blue Star* would be off the mark.

Instantly, the livestream fell silent, showing only the figures of Sun Ji and Zhao Lei as they read the script.

However, the number of viewers in the stream had increased again, reaching over 1.5 million.

And even though there was no action on screen, not a single viewer left.

After all, this was about a 60-million-yuan investment in a movie.

Most people only ever went to theaters to watch movies; they’d never actually seen a movie investment being made. Today, they were lucky enough to witness it.

To everyone watching, this was a high-class affair, and they wanted to see if the investment would succeed.

「Tiao Yin.」

Han Shangyou was also keeping an eye on Chen Jincheng’s livestream. The 1.5 million-plus concurrent viewers had set yet another new record.

But this time, Tiao Yin hadn’t pushed any traffic to his stream.

It meant that Chen Jincheng was now generating his own traffic. Looking at his stream, many celebrities and directors had already appeared—many of whom Han Shangyou recognized from the film industry.

This was a situation that Tiao Yin couldn’t replicate, even if they wanted to build another internet celebrity of his caliber.

But the crucial thing was that Chen Jincheng was now in contact with Kuaishou, getting all cozy with them. It was truly worrying.

「Rice Group.」

Boss Lei had just finished a meeting and returned to his office. He immediately picked up his phone to scroll through the news.

The results from Chen Jincheng’s livestream weren’t out yet, but news about Chen Jincheng, Guo Fan, and *Wandering Blue Star* was already trending, and with considerable heat.

Boss Lei hadn’t expected Second-Life Star to make a move on a film project so quickly.

After looking at the news, he understood what was happening. A moment later, he popped into Chen Jin’s livestream, curious about the outcome. After all, he owned 20% of Second-Life Star’s shares.

By this point, Chen Jincheng had also read through most of the script, which was effectively the story of *Wandering Earth*. He had forgotten many of the finer details from his past life, but he remembered the general gist.

’The script is identical, so the plot is fine. As long as the special effects are up to par, there shouldn’t be any major problems with this movie.’

In the livestream, more and more people from the film industry were showing up.

These people were also completely amazed.

It was the first time they had ever seen a movie investment being negotiated like this.

Even people from Dawan had entered the livestream.

Wu Jianhui was Dawan’s new head of investment.

He was actually very grateful to Chen Jincheng. If it weren’t for him, the failure of *Huaxia Blue Helmets* wouldn’t have become such a public disaster, dragging Dawan’s reputation through the mud, and the former vice president wouldn’t have had to take the fall.

And he would never have had the chance to take over so quickly.

He just never expected Chen Jincheng to get involved with *Wandering Blue Star*. This was the very project his group had discussed and decided to pull funding from.

’With Chen Jincheng’s eye for projects, it should be impossible for him to invest in this film.’

’The cost is just too high.’

Finally, Chen Jincheng finished reading the script. He looked toward Sun Ji and Zhao Lei and asked, "President Sun, President Zhao, have you finished the script?"

The two immediately nodded.

Chen Jincheng then said, "Alright, tell me your thoughts on this script."
