Chapter 7 Home Alone

Kevin Thomas was really frightened. He had more psychological warfare from Ye Wei and more professionalism and efficiency as lawyer Salton. This matter progressed very quickly. That night, both parties signed the draft agreement, and Kevin Thomas was at the mercy of others.

20% of the shares were transferred for US$1, and Ye Haogen was compensated for 500,000 US dollars. He resigned, and the dividend clause of "The Marriage is Coming" was cancelled, and other investors were notified...

Weiduo Image is a limited partnership. Simply put, the company has two types of partners. One is a limited partner who provides funds and assumes limited liability. The loss will not exceed its investment amount, but it does not have the right to manage the company's affairs; the other is a general partner who holds management rights.

The original company's share structure was like this: Ye Haogen, who initially invested 1.5 million yuan, held 55% of the shares, while Kevin Thomas invested 20% of the shares with production fees; the other five limited partners invested a total of 500,000 yuan, each with 100,000 yuan, each accounting for 5% of the company's shares.

Later, Ye Haogen invested another 300,000 yuan as the release fee for the film. The company's shares changed, reaching 58%, 20%, and 4.4% each.

Now, there is only one general partner left, Ye Haogen, who holds 78% of the shares. So what to do next in "The Marriage is Coming" depends entirely on the Ye family's meaning, or Ye Wei's meaning.

After the changes in the past two days, Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao understood that their son had really changed and changed in a good direction. He said that he "has always been a hidden genius, but it is necessary to show it now." The couple were half-believing, but they were always very relieved.

They were willing to listen to their son's ideas, but in fact they had already talked about it as early as last night when they made the plan.

In addition to the compensation, there is still about 100,000 yuan left in the company's account. The funds prepared for issuance are their previous capital injections.

Ye Wei wants to terminate all the issuance of "The Wedding Period is Coming", such as the stop loss of stock trading, and all the self-paid screenings of the three theaters have been cancelled. Although the publicity fees for copying, posters and other publicity have been spent, and some liquidated damages have been compensated, they can get back more than 20,000 yuan and maintain the reputation of the film as blank paper.

In this way, you can get back more than 600,000 yuan in total, of which 500,000 yuan is from their private accounts, so your family will not be so tight and you can slowly repay the 1.5 million debt.

As for how to clean up the mess "The Wedding Time is Coming", Ye Wei also had an idea.

"We don't think about selling copyrights. There is no attractive star among its cast and crew. The quality is too bad, so it can't sell much money, and it's too much to sell. We can find a market positioning that is more suitable for it based on the existing lens materials, re-editing, and maybe we need to re-shoot some shots, add some dialogues, and re-sounding, make a good version, and then participate in those film festivals that don't have to spend money to make a name for themselves and sell them at a good price. You know, I don't mind taking over these matters."

It was already dark in the dark, and Ye Wei was talking about his plans to his parents in the bright and spacious hall of the Ye family.

Because I had just won a big victory, although the road ahead was still difficult, the atmosphere was still peaceful, and the fire of hope was swaying, but it was not extinguished.

"Actually, I have been studying movies for a long time and I am competent enough to do this task." Ye Wei said confidently. This is not a bragging. The teaching at Nanka University is really not a big deal.

Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao said at the same time, showing a helpless smile. Do you believe it or don’t believe it? The son does learn everything, but it’s very popular for three minutes, and it doesn’t seem to be able to say that he has any ability... and he is just a child under the age of 16 after all.

"Give me peace of mind to go to school, and the company's affairs will be handled by your father." Gu Qiao made a reasonable decision.

"Yes." Ye Haogen nodded in agreement.

Ye Wei frowned. He had a good plan for how to remake "The Wedding Day is Coming". "In fact, I was wondering whether I would drop out of school..."

"No, of course not!" Ye Haogen, Gu Qiao was shocked and almost jumped up and dropped out of school!? What is the difference between this and suicide?

They felt that they heard him say, "I want to ruin myself because you can't afford to study and support the family's garbage parents." The growth education of children is more important than their lives! Traditional ideas are good, everything is good. When you go to school, you must go to school!

Even if he is really a genius, he still has to go to school. He goes to school not just to learn textbook knowledge! At his age, he should enjoy his youth on campus, play with his friends, pursue girls... and go to college! How can they let their son live a life without college...

"Yes!" Ye Haogen's face was flushed with excitement, "You must not think so! Dad, mom will solve the problem of money. Just go to school, you must not..."

His face looked ugly, and Gu Qiao didn't notice because of panic, "Yes, your father is right, you have to go back to school tomorrow!"

"Dad, mom, calm down, I'm just kidding!" Ye Wei said quickly, and when he saw his father's emotions, he was scared, "Just just kidding!"

The couple immediately breathed a sigh of relief, just a joke...

Ye Wei smiled and did not stick to this idea. Can he still not understand his parents' wishes? If he had not put on a bachelor's uniform and thrown away his bachelor's hat, they would not be happy for the rest of their lives. Moreover, he also wanted to continue to go to school, but said that family is the most important thing. For the happiness of his family, if necessary, he could give up everything.

But now it hasn't reached that level. He said seriously: "I can go to school and I will be busy with movies, and I can handle it at the same time."

"You said." Gu Qiao glared at him, "You don't have to worry about those debts. It's okay. Mom is going out to work, so Duoduo finds a cheaper nursery to take care of."

Hearing this, Ye Wei's heart suddenly appeared, which was the haggard face of his mother who had overworked and sick in his dream. He said anxiously: "Mom, no nursery can give mother's love. Duoduo needs your care! Believe me, I can solve those debts."

"Don't talk about it anymore. I can hold on with it alone. Just stay in the clinic more in a day." Ye Haogen interrupted the two of them, with a very firm attitude.

Ye Wei nodded silently and did not argue with his father for the time being. Gu Qiao frowned silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

"There is one more thing..." Ye Haogen hesitated for a while and said: "However, I want to leave a theater to continue to release "The Wedding Period is Coming" on Friday."

His expression was complicated, a little ashamed, and a different kind of spirit shining. "I have been looking forward to this moment for too long when I saw my own movies playing on the big screen in the theater... Although 99% of them will end up losing money,... Qiao, Wei, can you understand me?"

Ye Wei nodded heavily, of course he could understand that this was his father's dream.

"I've been waiting for it for too long... Moreover, we have already invited many relatives and friends to support us, and everyone is looking forward to it. We can't cancel it suddenly..."

"Yes." Gu Qiao shook her husband's hand and smiled gently: "Yes, leave a theater, otherwise there will be regrets."

Ye Wei looked at his parents, his mother just wanted to realize his dream, and his father seemed to have a little more hope for a miracle. Is the quality of the movie left to the big screen to decide? Well, okay. He nodded and said, "Let's leave one family as you spend money to realize your wish."

"Okay, thank you..." Ye Haogen showed a bitter smile and murmured in his heart: "Son, I just hope you can be proud of me."

The three of them chatted for a while before the meeting ended. Ye Wei was calmly ordered to resume school tomorrow. He had been absent for a day and a half because of illness.

Learning must be done, and other things must be done. Ye Wei maintains this idea, and it is far from enough to just remake "The Wedding Day is Coming". It is better to think about whether there are other opportunities...

Back in his room, he scanned the surroundings. The wide room was crowded. The walls were covered with movies, beauties, stars, and other posters, and stuffed everywhere, comics and books in a cabinet, soldiers, cowboys, Woody, Buss Light Years, Panda Dolls and other countless toys, and 1:1 size R2-D2 and C-3po robots were placed in the corner.

Let’s take a look at Chinese swords, air guns, nunchaku, sandbags, football, basketball, Playboy magazine, computer, guitar, drawing board, DV camera, movie disc, astronomical telescope, biological microscope, amber fossil, volcanic model, globe, spacecraft... The black stone in "2001: Space Odyssey", 1:1!

There are also many strange things that make him feel messy and weird, such as the "telepathizer" that breaks a black box, and installs an AA battery, and the black box can receive other people's brain waves, and then transmit them to the brain of the person who is electrocuted through electric shock, thereby realizing telepathy.

The most outrageous thing was not that he was so electrocuted that he could not even sense anything except screaming, but that he bought this thing at the flea market for $2,000.

These things witnessed his former popularity and his former spendthrift!

"Luckily I've quit." Ye Wei murmured, and his eyes finally stopped on an item hanging on the wall. It was the 10th birthday gift given to him by his father: the director's viewfinder.

Making a movie? He felt a little moved and could never take back the idea. "I am a professional college graduate. Even if I have to direct a script now, there will be no problem!"

He walked over and took the director's viewfinder, and his heart beat fast. This was not a daydream. Spielberg used Super 8 to make a feature film when he was 16 years old. When it comes to short films, the big director started at the age of 11!

Tim Burton is 13 years old, Peter Jackson is 16 years old, Martin Scorsese is 17 years old, Sam Remy is 18 years old, and Orson Wells is 19 years old!

There are many people who have been in the film industry when they were younger. For example, I am now, I can’t count those who shoot TV commercials and corporate promotional videos…

Why can't it be me?

I have so many advantages in his female horse!

A bad movie is the source of all problems, but a good movie can solve all problems.

"That's right, that's right." Ye Wei couldn't help but nodded as he thought about it. The more he thought about it, the more ambitious he became. That's it! This is what he wants to do!

He squinted his eyes and glanced around with the viewfinder. Everything became like a screen. It was really interesting to see the world through the lens!

At this time, something briskly walked into the room, but it was Toto. It came here, waving its tail, and looking at him with round eyes.

"Hey, man." Ye Wei looked at it with the viewfinder. It tilted his head pitifully. He smiled and said, "Yes, something happened at home, but it's OK, everything will be fine. How about you say I'm going to make a movie? Correct, great idea! We can first pay attention to whether there are any good opportunities in the industry recently. Anyway, we are busy. "The Wedding Day is Coming" will be released on Friday, and I have to go to school tomorrow. What are you thinking, nonsense? Haha, yes, nonsense!"
