“Problem is no longer a problem for him as long as it could be solved by money? Mr. Chen. Are you trying to say that your company will support us in terms of money?” asked Yamashita Hoitaro.
“Not support! You guys can take however much from us! Let me tell you my idea! I will be the one that designs the storyline! You and your crew can work on the other stuff! And I don’t even mind that you take some money for yourself! My only condition is you have to finish filming as soon as possible!”
Upon hearing that, Yamashita Hoitaro was fired up. Immediately, he nodded his head.
“No problem! Leave that to me! I will promise you that I will do my best to speed everything up!”
Usually, the investor would pay close attention to the money that the company spent. Not only were they tight on budget, they would ask the company to show them all the numbers. That was why Yamashita Hoitaro would not be able to get any extra money for himself on a regular basis. Knowing that Chen Xiaobei was not bothered about money, Yamashita Hoitaro would definitely do his best to fulfill Chen Xiaobei’s demands.
“As for the female actress! I want you to book the seven most famous actresses!”
“Se… Seven? It’s hard to even hire one of those famous actresses! It’s not possible that all of them have the same schedule!” said Yamashita Hoitaro, gulped.
“Don’t talk to me about schedule! Pay them triple their market rate! Ask them to shoot in my film first! If they are not satisfied with triple the rate, pay them five times their market rate! If they are not satisfied with five times the rate, pay them ten times the market rate! I only have one principle with me! Money can make anyone do anything!”
“Damn! Mr. Chen! You sound so powerful! I know that I should do now! Once they see the money, I think they will be able to rearrange their schedule!”
“Finally, let me talk to you about my reward to you! I will pay you 30 million if you can sell the film tomorrow! The day after tomorrow will be 20 million! And the third day will be 10 million! More than that, you will not receive any reward from me!”
Yamashita Hoitaro was taken aback after hearing Chen Xiaobei’s reward system.
“Mr… Mr. Chen! Does your reward come in RMB or Yen?”
“Of course it’s RMB!”
Sii…
Yamashita Hoitaro then took in a deep breath. 30 million RMB was equivalent to 500 million Yen! After minus all the necessary spending, Yamashita Hoitaro still could earn a huge sum of money! That kind of profit was equivalent to the money that his company earned in five years! Spending almost ten years in the film industry, Yamashita Hoitaro had never encountered such a golden opportunity. No matter what, he would never miss it.
“Mr. Chen! Don’t you worry! I will act on it now! I will do my best to finish filming by tonight! By tomorrow, I will upload the film on the Internet for sale!” said Yamashita Hoitaro in a confident manner.
After that, Yamashita Hoitaro went and contacted all the top-tier actresses personally. The rest of the four employees quickly did what Chen Xiaobei asked them to do as well. They decorated the place to make it look like a cave with a dark gray background. They then lit up a couple of pink lamps to make the whole place look sensual.
After that, they placed a fake tiger skin in the middle of the bed. Items like whips, candles, and red strings were placed on the bed as well.
“Bei… Bro Bei… What is going on? This place looks like where the demons stay!”
Jiang Ziya was terrified by it after he saw the finished product.
“That’s right! This is a place where demons stay! Have you heard about the Seven Calabash Brothers fighting with the Snake Demon?” said Chen Xiaobei with an evil smile.
“Seven Calabash Brothers? Snake Demon? What are you talking about?”
Clearly, Jiang Ziya could not figure out what was Chen Xiaobei trying to do. All he did was drop his jaw and stare at Chen Xiaobei. The funny thing was his front tooth was missing!
“How can you not know about this story?! How outrageous!”
Chen Xiaobei then took out his cell phone and showed the cartoon to Jiang Ziya.
“Mr. Chen! I have managed to ask the seven most famous actresses to join our production!”
Yamashita Hoitaro walked over and told Chen Xiaobei the good news. As the saying goes, money can make any human do all kind of things! The moment the actresses heard that they were going to pay them triple the rate, all of them said yes to Yamashita Hoitaro without any second thought. Now, they were on the way to the filming scene. One of them even stopped her current shooting and rushed over here.
“Come and have a look! This is my idea!”
Chen Xiaobei showed the cartoon to Yamashita Hoitaro as well.
“Mr. Chen, are you trying to make all seven actresses act as the Seven Calabash Brothers? And your guy will act as a Snake Demon?” asked Yamashita Hoitaro.
“No! Of course not! I will be criticized heavily if I adopt the Seven Calabash Brothers story into my production!”
“What are you planning to do then?”
“The original story is called Seven Calabash Brothers fight with Snake Demon! My production will be called Seven Snake Demons fight with a grandpa!”
“Seven Snake Demons fight with a grandpa? Mr. Chen! This is a very unusual idea! I don’t think there’s anyone done this before! There might be a high chance that it will become very famous!”
“Don’t worry! It will get famous!”
“Now that we have the seven Snake Demon sisters, is Mr. Chen going to act as the grandpa?”
“I have told you that the main character is a grandpa! How can we lie to our viewers?!”
“The role grandpa is going to act by a real grandpa! Hehe! You guess it right! I’m talking about him! Mr. Jiang Ziya!”
Blarrghh!
“I… I don’t think I can do it… My body will collapse by the time the film is done!” said Jiang Ziya.
“What now? You want to try freefalling again?”
“No! No… No… No…”
Immediately, Jiang Ziya shook his head. He would never be bold enough to challenge Chen Xiaobei again after he wet his pants the last time.
“Mr. Chen… Mr. Jiang is right about it! Look at him! He’s in his eighties! It would be difficult for him to shoot with one actress! There are seven of them now! I’m afraid that his body can’t take it!”
“Don’t worry! I have something here to boost his body’s strength!” said Chen Xiaobei with an evil smile.
