That makes sense.
The market is the key player.
Even top-tier singers cannot guarantee that every song will be a hit.
Bai Lu: "How long do you plan to take to pay them back?"
Jiang Chen: "Two months, I guess."
Bai Lu was astonished.
"Two months?"
"You can earn 50 million in such a short time?"
Jiang Chen: "If the movie doesn't flop, it can earn 50 million."
Bai Lu: "But the movie was terrible!"
Jiang Chen: "It's only the first day, the prime time hasn't passed yet."
Bai Lu: "How long will it take to see the results?"
Jiang Chen: "Movies usually have a seven-day verification period. If it doesn't take off after seven days, then it's probably gone."
Bai Lu: "Really?"
Jiang Chen: "Only time will tell."
If the movie becomes a hit, then 50 million can indeed be easily obtained.
Even if you don't earn that much money, you can still earn ten or twenty million, right?
Having this money can ease the burden.
They can pay off the remaining debt gradually.
Bai Lu: "I hope the box office will improve tomorrow."
...
"Beep beep~~"
"Beep beep~~"
In the afternoon, my phone vibrated twice.
The first amount received was 30 million, followed by 20 million.
With the money in hand, Jiang Chen immediately paid off all his previous debts.
"Ding-dong~~"
"Ding-dong~~"
Upon receiving the message from the bank, the credit company, building materials company, and raw material supplier were all stunned.
Jiang Chen kept his word and returned the money to them.
Moreover, it can be done within a day, not even three days.
Where did he get the money to pay off his debts?
Did he meet a benefactor?
The loan company immediately called Jiang Chen to inquire about the situation.
"Ring ring~~~"
"Ring ring~~~"
Upon receiving the call from his former creditor, Jiang Chen's lips curled into a smile.
The other party must be very surprised that he was able to return the money so quickly.
He said these creditors would regret it.
The creditors will surely repent for the mistakes they made.
"Hello!"
"Mr. Li, what brings you on the call?"
"I remember returning the money to you!"
The lending company said, "I have received the money."
Jiang Chen: "Then why did you call?"
Credit company: "I'm curious, where did you get this money from?"
Jiang Chen: "Where he came from is none of your business."
Credit company: "I'm just curious, please tell me."
Jiang Chen: "I'm not telling you."
Loan company: "Did you borrow it from friends in your circle?"
Since appearing on variety shows, Jiang Chen has made friends with many A-list celebrities.
Top-tier celebrities are all rich.
Jiang Chen could easily borrow 30 million.
Jiang Chen: "No."
Credit company: "No? Then from whom did you borrow it?"
Jiang Chen: "Want to know?"
Credit company: "Yes!"
Jiang Chen: "Get out! You'll regret the mistakes you've made!"
After saying that, he hung up the phone, not wanting to talk to Mr. Li anymore.
"you……"
Mr. Li was furious.
But there was nothing they could do.
Because Jiang Chen no longer owes him money.
He and Jiang Chen have no relationship anymore.
"I refuse to believe I'll regret it."
"Your money was borrowed."
"You can never fill this debt hole."
Next, former creditors, such as building material companies and raw material suppliers, also called.
They asked the same questions as Mr. Li.
In the end, they were all scolded by Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen doesn't owe them any money, so they can't do anything about him.
From now on, we'll go our separate ways and there's no chance of our paths crossing again.
...
It wasn't until the afternoon that the box office broke six million, which was really disappointing.
Most works from the same period have grossed over ten million.
There is no harm without comparison.
Xu Zheng was unsure of what to do.
Jiang Chen not only owes him his film salary, but also his publicity fees.
He was the one who found the publishing company, and he paid for it upfront, so Jiang Chen owes him a lot of money.
He was afraid Jiang Chen wouldn't be able to repay it.
"No, I have to call and urge him."
"He hasn't released any new songs lately, he's been lazy."
"They need to keep releasing new songs so they can pay me back in the shortest amount of time."
[Ring ring~~~]
[Ring ring~~~]
Jiang Chen, who was about to leave for the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala at Hunan TV Station, suddenly received a call from Xu Zheng and learned what Xu Zheng wanted to do.
"Good afternoon, Professor Xu Zheng!"
Xu Zheng helped him a lot this time, so even if Xu Zheng pressed him for repayment, he would still be polite to Xu Zheng.
Judging from his voice, Jiang Chen seemed to be in good condition.
Despite the dismal box office performance, Jiang Chen remained calm and composed.
I really don't know what he was thinking.
Xu Zheng: "Teacher Jiang, have you seen the box office figures?"
Jiang Chen: "I saw it."
Xu Zheng: "What are your thoughts?"
Jiang Chen: "As expected."
Xu Zheng: "As expected? Before the bidding, you patted your chest and guaranteed it would be over a billion!"
Jiang Chen: "I think it can achieve this box office result."
Xu Zheng: "Then why is it only a mere six million now?"
Jiang Chen offered his own insights.
"It's because there were no preview screenings."
"Previews usually take seven days."
"I think after the first wave of audience reviews, it will attract a lot of people to see this movie."
"Once word-of-mouth builds up, the film's box office can experience explosive growth."
Xu Zheng: "But if the early stages are lackluster, the number of screenings will be lower later on."
