Chapter 295 - 295 The Tribulation
295 The Tribulation
Fortunately, although Big Brother Le had invested a lot, he had quite a lot of short-term investments on hand, so not all the funds were suppressed. The working capital in his account was still sufficient, so he could still gather 500 million yuan.
After Le Wan heard this, her heart sank even further. In the original book, the calamity that belonged to Second Brother Le had begun.
It was written in the book that Second Brother Le had taken a fancy to a Sci-Fi script and was bent on shooting it. Not only did he empty his own assets, but he also took a large sum of money from Big Brother Le.
After almost two years, the Sci-Fi film that he had worked so hard to produce was seized by the police on the spot just before it was about to be released for drug use. All of a sudden, all films and endorsements related to the male actor were taken down.
This time, Second Brother Le was dumbfounded. This movie that had cost 800 million yuan only had two endings. One was that it was unlucky that it was delayed in screening, and the second was that the male lead’s scenes were dissolved.
However, the eight hundred million yuan that they had raised had been used up, and the male lead’s scenes took up almost half of the space. If they wanted to re-film it, they would have to spend a lot of money, manpower, and material resources.
Even if it was an AI that could change the face, it would still be a huge project. Moreover, at this critical moment, Second Brother Le didn’t want to ruin this film that had cost countless people’s blood, sweat, and money.
Therefore, he went around to raise money again. In the end, it was still Big Brother Le who found a way to raise 200 million for him, which directly emptied the working capital in his account.
As a result, when the Le Group was in trouble, Big Brother Le didn’t have the funds to turn the situation around. He could only take the risk and lay the groundwork for the tragedy that followed.
What was even worse was that when the first trailer was released, another piece of news was released. The script that made Second Brother Le so impressed was actually stolen by the scriptwriter and the original author had already sold it to another film company.
As a result, Second Brother Le’s film was considered an infringement of copyright and wasn’t qualified to be shown in the theaters. For this reason, Second Brother Le had contacted the copyright owner many times, hoping that they could discuss the copyright so that the movie could be released smoothly.
In the end, that film company happened to be set up by Fu Sui’s friend. At that time, the struggle between the Le family and the Fu family had already begun, so the other party wasn’t willing to give Second Brother Le a chance to negotiate and even wanted to drag down Second Brother Le’s entertainment company.
Second Brother Le had been living a smooth life for so many years and he always thought of himself as a smart person. However, he fell into such a huge pit in the end. Not only did he lose money to build up his net worth, but he also caused his big brother to lose so much money. He couldn’t get over this psychological barrier and was directly hit to the point of decadence.
Originally, the whole family was out on a vacation happily. With her dear boyfriend by her side, Le Wan had already forgotten about these unpleasant things. However, when she heard the words “Sci-Fi movie”, she was immediately pulled into anxiety and panic.
Le Wan made up her mind that she would never let her two brothers step into a pit as they did in her previous life.
In fact, the best way was to make Second Brother Le give up on filming a science fiction movie.
However, this had always been Second Brother Le’s dream. If he didn’t do it, it would be no different from breaking his wings. Therefore, Le Wan wouldn’t stop him from doing this. She would only find a way to help him get rid of the possible obstacles.
The first thing she had to solve was the script. He didn’t know if the original scriptwriter had sold the script. If not, she would have to buy the script as soon as possible.
“I heard that you found a very good script. Can I have a look at it?” She asked.
Second Brother Le shook his head.
“No, we haven’t started shooting yet. The script is currently in a confidential stage. We can’t leak it out.”
Le Wan pinched his clothes and said coquettishly,
“Just let me see it. If I think it’s good after reading it, I can also be generous and invest in you.”
“How much savings can you have with that little purse of yours? Why don’t you stay and buy a few more beautiful dresses?” Second Brother looked at her as if she was a rare gem.
“Don’t look down on me. I’m also a rich woman, okay?” Le Wan said with a look of dissatisfaction. She leaned close to Second Brother Le’s ear and gave him a number.
Second brother le raised his eyebrows.
“Not bad. You’ve managed to save up so much money in such a short time.”
