Capítulo 579: Chapter 553: A Ruthless Slap in the Face

Ye Chen returned home and saw the Hua Mansion villa was lit.

Ye Chen felt a joy in his heart, Lin Wanrou was back.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Lin Wanrou smiling and saying, “Welcome home, master.”

For some reason, Ye Chen felt that without Lin Wanrou, Hua Mansion would feel cold and empty, not like home at all.

“Master, I’ll brew some tea for you right away.”

As Lin Wanrou was brewing tea, she suddenly felt a tingling sensation on her shoulders.

Ye Chen massaged her shoulders and asked, “You must be very tired lately.”

Lin Wanrou felt warmth in her heart, “No, it’s not tiring at all to do things for you, master.”

Ye Chen felt a bit guilty, “You’ve really worked hard flying around every day for the company’s matters lately.”

Lin Wanrou just giggled softly, “Not really, the only thing is…”

Ye Chen asked, “What’s the only thing?”

Lin Wanrou blushed and said, “Just missing you a bit, master.”

Ye Chen gave a cheeky smile, “Alright, today master will relieve your longing.”

…

The next morning, Ye Chen lay lazily in bed, unwilling to get up.

Lin Wanrou snuggled next to Ye Chen, looking at Ye Chen’s phone.

At this moment, a video popped up on Ye Chen’s phone.

…

The video was of Dong Bo.

The same deputy director who left halfway while filming “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”.

Back then, Dong Bo left and kept cursing Ye Chen in the media for not knowing how to make movies, but now the box office of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” has thoroughly slapped Dong Bo in the face.

Yet the reporters found the matter insufficiently dramatic and began interviewing Dong Bo.

“Director Dong, have you seen ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’? What’s your evaluation of this film?”

“The film you criticized as worthless is now selling well, how do you feel about that?”

“Do you regret leaving the crew now?”

“You said Ye Chen wouldn’t make a good movie, but his film sold well, while yours flopped; what have you to say?”

Hearing the reporters’ questions, Dong Bo almost exploded with anger.

With a dark face, he said nothing, wanting to leave quickly.

But the reporters wouldn’t let him off so easily, shoving microphones in his face.

Dong Bo’s bodyguards started driving the reporters away.

Finally, Dong Bo snapped, snatching a reporter’s microphone and throwing it on the ground, cursing angrily, “What’s wrong with you? Are you ever gonna stop?”

This video has already gone viral with the headline “Director Dong Bo’s Outburst Over ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’”.

The video has indeed stirred up a storm online.

Actually, the reporters were excessive, but since Dong Bo cursed Ye Chen as trash online first, netizens didn’t sympathize with him at all.

All the comments were scolding Dong Bo.

“Haha, look at his dumb face, so satisfying.”

“Slandering Director Ye Chen in the past, and now his face is swollen from the slap.”

“Now I finally understand, Dong Bo was actually cursing himself back then.”

“Dong Bo is an idiot, can’t even say a word now, so disgraceful.”

“Clearly he’s the idiot, yet takes it out on the reporters, what a person.”

…

Online, Dong Bo is being heavily scolded.

After leaving the “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” crew, Dong Bo also made a film.

The intention was to compete with “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”.

But the film scored only 2.7 on DouBan, rated as the worst movie of the year.

While Ye Chen’s “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” scored 8.6, making it the highest-rated Chinese film of the year.

So, none of the fans sympathizes with Dong Bo.

He broke his word, slandered Ye Chen, and even said Ye Chen didn’t understand movies; now those comments seem like jokes.

“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” is hailed as the pioneering work of martial arts films, with perfect visuals, post-production, and acting.

This movie showcases Ye Chen’s divine-level directing talents to the fullest.

Most importantly, the team listed in the ending credits of this film is astonishing.

Screenwriter: Ye Chen

Director: Ye Chen

Music: Ye Chen

Producer: Ye Chen

Editing: Star University Film Studies

…

Basically, Ye Chen single-handedly completed everything except post-production for this film.

This is terrifying.

Previously, no film had so much work done by one person.

Ye Chen chuckled as he looked at the video of Dong Bo on his phone.

Back then, Ye Chen didn’t retaliate against Dong Bo; he waited for today to slap him with his abilities.

He achieved his goal, and Dong Bo had to shut down his Weibo due to the scolding from netizens.

“Master, you’re amazing, making such a great movie.” Lin Wanrou softly said beside him.

Ye Chen smiled, “Just having some fun, actually my main job is as a DiDi driver.”

Lin Wanrou rolled her eyes at Ye Chen, “You rascal.”

This movie propelled Zhou Fa, and now he has entered the ranks of top-tier celebrities.

Liu Hua and Tong Xiaoya secured top ten positions among superstar celebrities.

Even to Ye Chen’s surprise, he entered the ranks of top-tier celebrities, although his ranking was somewhat lower.

Ye Chen checked the box office of the movie.

In seven days, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” raked in 1.08 billion yuan.

This box office is already a record for the year, even surpassing top-tier foreign films.

Scarily enough, this figure doesn’t include the foreign box office.

Foreign box office totaled 520 million M Yuan.

Equivalent to nearly 4 billion Hua Coin.

Hua Country film achieved such an impressive international box office for the first time.

And due to the immense popularity of this movie, it won’t be offline for now, and the box office will continue to grow, although the growth rate will be very slow.

It’s fair to say, no film has ever been this incredibly successful in Hua Country’s history.

Ye Chen made history.

Ye Chen wasn’t interested in the box office; what intrigued him was creating Hua Country film history.

At this moment, Lin Wanrou received a call.

She chatted a few sentences and then hung up the phone.

“Master, Jiangzhe Satellite TV just contacted us to arrange an interview with our crew.”

Ye Chen’s eyes lit up upon hearing this; it was another great opportunity to expand “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’s” influence.

The box office was gradually declining, and perhaps with the help of this variety show, the actors and the film could catch fire once again.

Ye Chen took a few main actors from the crew, Tong Xiaoya, Liu Hua, Zhou Fa, on a private jet straight to Jiang City.

The group was startled as soon as they got off the plane.

It turned out their arrival for the show had leaked, and the airport entrance was packed with fans.

They had no choice but to quietly leave through the VIP channel.

Once in the car, they headed straight for Jiangzhe TV Station.

In the afternoon, Ye Chen and several actors recorded an episode of the interview.

As agreed, this program would air that evening.

This was also one of the conditions Ye Chen had signed for.

Because Ye Chen wanted to take advantage of the moment to boost the film’s popularity again and achieve another breakthrough in box office.

The program lasted over three hours and was finally completed.

In the evening, the group stayed at a local hotel.

Ye Chen specifically ordered a feast for the crew to celebrate.

Tong Xiaoya said with a smile, “Ye Chen, you’re really amazing; I never thought this movie would be such a hit.”

Zhou Fa raised his glass and earnestly said, “Director Ye, I’ll toast to you; thank you for making my rise to fame possible.”

Everyone chatted and laughed together.

Just then, Lin Wanrou’s phone rang, and after she answered it, her expression turned somewhat sour.
