    "What" Ye Haogen was stunned, "What are you talking about?"

    Ye Wei put the bag of documents on the desk, took out one of them, opened it and showed it to him, "Look here, renting a Steadicam for one day for 1,500 US dollars! How ridiculous! Dad, I already have definite evidence, can  It shows that this is a false account, but the real amount is US$600.¡±

    At the moment, he explained the investigation process clearly.

    Ye Haogen's expression changed after hearing this. He held the expenditure form and his voice was a little hoarse: "Are you serious?"

    "I don't make this kind of joke." Ye Wei took out several more documents, "It's not just the fake account, there are too many problems in the entire production process. Going to Florida for a location shoot?! Just for filming!  A few honeymoon scenes?! Stop talking about Malibu, Long Beach, and Santa Monica! Who can tell if that beach is in Florida?¡±

    Ye Haogen¡¯s face became more and more ugly. He was not a fool, nor did he really know anything about film production. In fact, he had always been doubtful about this location, just because he believed in Kevin Thomas¡¯s professionalism

    "There are too many problems." Ye Wei sighed, "We don't know how much money has been wasted."

    "How did you know?" Ye Haogen couldn't understand this. How could his son see such a professional financial mistake and find out the truth carefully?

    "Do you really think I'm a stupid prodigal?" Ye Wei shrugged, not wanting to dwell on this issue and unable to explain clearly, "I'm your son. If you don't believe me, you have to believe in your own DNA. Besides, I'm your son.  Just go shopping on EBAY and you¡¯ll know that renting a Steadicam doesn¡¯t have to be so expensive!¡±

    Ye Haogen showed a wry smile and took a few steps, "Maybe maybe it's just an accident? What's the reason for Kevin?"

    "Dad, you are such a nice person, but this is a dangerous world." Ye Wei took out his mobile phone and said, "You will know after you listen to this."

    He turned the volume on his phone to the maximum and played a recording: "Hey, Wei!Kevin, where is the information?There is a yacht party on the beach in Santa Monica tomorrow night, and there will be many models attending.  You must not tell your father or anyone about this matter"

    After listening to this clear recording, Ye Haogen suddenly became furious, his eyes looked like he wanted to kill people, and he shouted: "How dare he!! You are just a 15-year-old child, how dare he!!"

    "Calm down, calm down!" Ye Wei comforted him quickly, fearing that his father would get too excited and something would happen, "I haven't gone yet? Dad, calm down!"

    Ye Haogen really couldn't calm down. These truths were like a thunder blow. He exhaled and walked to the chair behind the desk with a little pain to sit down.  Ye Wei was so frightened that he quickly handed over a glass of water and continued to comfort: "Now that we know, it's not too late to make remediation. Calm down."

    "Well" Ye Haogen took a sip of water, his face full of self-deprecation, loss and frustration, and said with a wry smile: "I'm such a fool, look what I've done! I gave 1.8 million to that bastard I  How stupid!¡±

    Ye Wei didn't say anything, just squeezed his father's shoulders and silently gave him support.

    After a long time, Ye Haogen slowly calmed down a little. He let out a long sigh and asked, "Do you think it's possible that "Wedding Day is Coming" will do well at the box office?"

    Ye Wei knew that he could no longer give his father any illusions, and said seriously: "Ask your own reason, what is its quality? In my opinion, it is just a bad movie."

    Ye Haogen is still a little hard to accept. When the whole family watched the final DVD together a few days ago, Wei said that the filming was not very good, but it was rated as a "bad movie"

    "It's not that bad, right?" He covered his forehead and smiled so bitterly that he almost stunk. "I know that with its quality, it won't be a box office bomb, but as long as it can receive three million in box office, then that's fine.  ¡­It¡¯s not a very high number¡­¡±

    "No!" Ye Wei shook his head resolutely: "For "Wedding Day is Coming", that is a very, very high number! The film industry is very complicated, but to put it bluntly, in one sentence: the winner takes all, the loser gets nothing!  If we don¡¯t collect 30,000 yuan in box office in those three theaters in the first week, our theatrical distribution will end, there will be no profit, we will have no profit, and the movie will lose money.¡±

    Ye Haogen couldn't refute, so he picked up a "Vanity Fair" movie magazine on the table. The red carpet stars on the cover were stunning. He curled up the magazine uneasily, as if he wanted to hold on tightly to the dream that was flying away

    "Dad, I hope you understand that when investing in independent films, losing money is very, very normal, and not losing money is the exception. This is not something to be ashamed of. No matter what, we shouldTime to make peace with the fact that at least we actually got a movie.  "

    Ye Wei spoke in a relaxed tone and continued: "But we can't sit back and watch anymore. If we leave it to Kevin Thomas, everything will only be messed up. Dad, when you calm down, then we  Let¡¯s talk about the next step.¡±

    "Wei, VIY" Ye Haogen looked up at him, his smile finally showing some relief, "What's wrong with you? It's unbelievable! Where did that bad boy go?"

    "Oh! Old guy, pay attention to your words, be careful, I'm standing here." Ye Wei made a few exaggerated faces and laughed: "Everyone will grow up, I just feel that I  It¡¯s time to grow up.¡±

    "You make dad very happy." Ye Haogen nodded and patted his palm, "I'm fine. I can bear this. Can you tell me your next step?"

    "Losing money is certain, but how much we will lose is not certain. We will try our best to get back as much as we can"

    There was a devilish glare in Ye Wei's eyes, and his faint words made people shudder: "First of all, get rid of that son of a bitch Kevin Thomas"

    He told his plan in detail, and the more Ye Haogen listened, the more frightened he became. Was such a comprehensive, professional, and ruthless handling really what Wei had thought of?  What could anyone say? He actually felt like he couldn't see through his son

    ¡­¡­

    Kevin Thomas is in a good mood. Speaking of which, he has been enjoying a good life in the past year or so, thanks to the big fish with a movie dream. This is why he loves movies!

    I¡¯m really looking forward to the yacht party tonight. With that little prodigal son accompanying me, he doesn¡¯t even have to pay for picking up girls. If everything goes well, he will fall asleep with a hot girl in his arms tonight, and I¡¯m excited just thinking about it.

    As for the release of "Wedding Day is Coming"?  Don't be silly, that party has nothing to do with the release.

    Distribution and promotion are very troublesome, and he will not waste his efforts. Anyway, the film has been badly made and has no value. After completing this self-financed distribution that makes investors "Wow, my movie is released", this project will be  Throw it in the trash.

    The most important thing is to find the next big fish.  Although the film's loss will cause some damage to his reputation as a producer, fortunately, there is no shortage of fools in the world, especially those dream-chasing fools who think they are lucky, and the sons of fools, haha!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Just after lunch and before leaving the beachside restaurant, his cell phone rang. It was Ye Haogen.

    "What does this Chinese guy want to talk about?" He muttered and pressed the connect button, with a bored look on his face but a very enthusiastic tone: "Hi, Haogen, good afternoon."

    "Kevin, come to the company right away. We have to solve some things." Ye Haogen's voice was cold, and there was obviously a surge of anger.

    Kevin Thomas was a little confused. Could it be that his invitation to the little prodigal son to the party was exposed?  He has nothing to be afraid of. If he is exposed, he will be exposed. It can be said that it is just a joke, or because he "dotes" Ye Wei too much.

    Not wanting to affect his mood, he excused himself: "I'm just going to work on some publishing matters. If you have anything, just talk on the phone."

    "No matter what happens to you, come to the company immediately." Ye Haogen's words were very strong.

    ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go over right away.¡± Kevin Thomas had no choice but to agree, get up, pay and leave.  That big fish still has some use value, so we can't let it off the hook yet.

    Along the way, he kept muttering and cursing: "There are so many things to do, this whole family of idiots, FUCK"

    When he walked leisurely to the office building and then to the Weiduo Image office, things seemed to be a little different from what he thought. Four people were sitting on the sofa, Ye Haogen, Gu Qiao, Ye Wei, and a man in a suit and tie.  A middle-aged man wearing glasses, I don¡¯t know who he is

    The three members of the Ye family all looked unkind, as if they regarded him as an enemy.

    "Everyone" Kevin Thomas couldn't help but wonder. As he walked up, he asked, "What's wrong?"

    The person who surprised him the most stood up. It was not Ye Haogen or Gu Qiao, but Ye Wei. The boy smiled and said, "Let me tell you what's wrong."

    Ye Wei took out his mobile phone and played a recording

    It¡¯s really because of this!  Listening to the conversation between himself and Ye Wei yesterday, Kevin Thomas' expression changed. He pretended to be a little embarrassed, but in fact he was shocked and angry. When did the little fool record the sound to trick him?  mischief?  !  I really want to crush this little head louse to death!

    When the recording was finished, heHe said with a wry smile: "Haogen, Qiao, I'm sorry, I doted on Wei too much. You know what teenagers think about. I saw that he wanted to go, and I felt soft-hearted and wanted to take him with me.  It's a serious social party, and I'll keep an eye on him and nothing will happen."

    He thought this explanation was enough. However, instead of becoming gentler, the eyes of Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao became sharper. They wanted to kill him.

    "That's enough." Ye Wei didn't want to watch Kevin Thomas' poor and disgusting performance anymore. "This recording only fully proves what kind of person you are. Do you think that's all for today? Rent a Steadicam for one day for $1,500.  What is that, a superhero mecha?¡±

    He suddenly roared, raised a document in his hand, and pulled out a lease contract certificate issued by Amity Photography Equipment Company. He spoke calmly: "Unfortunately, the fake accounts you made have been exposed, and the fact that you are a liar has been exposed."  , also exposed. Need I remind you, Kevin Thomas, you¡¯re done.¡±

    "Whatwhat?" Kevin Thomas looked at the two documents stupidly, still confused about the situation for a while, Steadicam?  Fake accounts?

    Suddenly, some memories came to mind, and he remembered it. Suddenly, his face turned pale and he broke into a cold sweat
