Chapter 283 Relatives Come to Demand Debts!!
"Ugh……"
Zhang Zihao sighed again.
Hearing Zhang Zihao's words, Chen Le nodded.
He could guess what Zhang Zihao was worried about.
It's simply because they're afraid that even before the film is released, the publicity will generate negative public opinion.
After all, apart from the movie "God of War of the Dragon Kingdom", they don't have any other notable works.
If competitors launch an online campaign to smear and discredit this, it will definitely have a significant impact on box office revenue and popularity.
Chen Le had already considered these issues beforehand.
I already have a solution in mind.
"Brother Hao, I know all that you're saying. I'll just deal with whatever comes my way."
"Tonight's film and television night is very important. If the promotion is good, even a small investment of 3,000 million can bring a big return."
"In fact... in my opinion, it's not impossible for them to even become the box office champion!"
Chen Le smiled slightly, looking very confident.
Zhang Zihao instantly felt reassured.
With Chen Le as my super strong backer, I couldn't be more at ease.
Now it seems that I was worrying too much.
Chu Yaoyang thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "By the way, brother, I have to give special praise to someone!"
"Who? Tell me more."
Chen Le raised his eyebrows and said with great interest.
"Shen Fei!"
Chu Yaoyang chuckled and said seriously, "He's the main character of our film!"
"Let me tell you, his performance was really good!"
"As a comedic actor, he truly showcased his comedic talent during the filming of this movie. His performance was also very detailed and professional!"
"If our film becomes a hit, he will definitely deserve a great deal of credit!"
Chen Le smiled and said, "I know this Shen Fei. He was a pillar of Lin Tianxiong's drama club back then, and he has a very good foundation!"
"If the film becomes a hit, we'll cast him as the male lead in our next film. It's a way of promoting a star before our company goes public!"
"Let's see how the film performs first. In any case, we'll see results within seven days of its release!"
"To secure the country and decide life and death."
After Chen Le finished speaking, he got up and walked outside.
I just came outside.
I saw a group of people making a lot of noise, gathered in a circle.
Chen Le, Zhang Zihao, and the others all walked over.
Pushing through the crowd, one could see Shen Fei being pulled by two women and a man.
The two women and the man all started hurling insults at Shen Fei.
"You little brat, it's been half a year already, when are you going to pay back the money your family owes us?!"
"Exactly! If it weren't for your family bragging about how much money you made as an actor, we would never have lent you the money to buy a house!"
"You ungrateful wretch! We kindly lent you money so you could buy a house for your wedding, and you won't even pay interest!"
At this moment, Shen Fei's eyes were already bruised, there were several scratches on his face, and his clothes were torn, making him look rather disheveled.
Chen Le and the others quickly went up to inquire.
It turned out that the two women and the man were Shen Fei's elders, and they had come to collect a debt.
The man grabbing Shen Fei's collar, spitting as he spoke, was Shen Fei's second uncle, Shen Songlin.
The other two women are Shen Fei's two aunts, Shen Lirong and Shen Yaqin.
Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) has recently encountered many problems.
They had planned to get engaged, but the engagement didn't happen, and the house they bought was a waste of money.
All the relatives in the family knew this, and it turned out that Shen Fei had not become a big star as his parents had said, but was just an ordinary extra with a meager income.
So they rushed over to ask for their money.
A series of blows drove Shen Fei to the brink of despair.
Shen Lirong ignored him completely and continued his angry reprimand:
"Little brat,"
"If you can't even pay back the principal, how can you buy a house?"
"And your parents, all they know how to do is act all high and mighty...!"
“At home, you brag to us, saying you’re a big star now. Pshaw, you’re just an extra, a background actor. You can’t even earn 100 yuan a day, not even as much as us odd jobs!”
At this point, Shen Lirong slapped Shen Fei across the face.
Seeing three people surrounding and beating Shen Fei, Chen Le quickly stepped forward and asked seriously, "What's going on here?"
When Shen Fei saw that it was Chairman Chen Le, he was startled and hurriedly spoke cautiously.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, this is a personal family matter. I didn't expect it to escalate to the company and have a negative impact on it. I will resolve this immediately."
When the three relatives heard that Chen Le was Shen Fei's boss and chairman, their eyes lit up and they all stepped forward.
Shen Songlin looked Chen Le up and down, then said with a smile.
"To become a boss at such a young age, that's truly remarkable!"
"Shen Fei! Look at him, and then look at you! You've accomplished nothing in your life, you've really wasted your life!"
Another aunt, Shen Lirong, also said with a smile, "You must be Shen Fei's boss? That's great. Your employee owes us money and won't pay it back. Why don't you pay it back for your employee?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Fei, who was standing nearby, became anxious and hurriedly stepped forward, saying, "Second Uncle, Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, I know I broke my promise and have let you down."
"Can you please stop being so unreasonable? I will definitely pay back the money I owe you. What are you doing at our company? Our company doesn't owe you anything."
"Don't worry, I will definitely pay back the money. Please give me some time..."
"Even selling a house takes time!"
Shen Fei is on the verge of a breakdown.
Making such a scene at the company has already caused them a great loss of face.
Shen Fei appeared extremely embarrassed at this moment, after all, he had disturbed his employees and colleagues.
The other aunt, however, completely ignored her and continued to speak with an arrogant expression.
"So you know you owe us money? Then you'd better pay it back!"
“If we had paid it back long ago, would we have needed to come all the way here? We've spent money on travel and haven't even had a bite to eat yet.”
Chen Le watched this scene and began to understand.
He took a deep breath and calmly began, "Everyone, please calm down. Please allow me to explain a few points."
Hearing Chen Le's firm tone, Shen Songlin and the others fell silent.
"First of all, Shen Fei is not a background actor, but a very important member of our company. His performance has always been outstanding."
"Secondly, it is only right to pay back debts, but we also need time to resolve the issue."
"Please stop causing trouble here!"
"Otherwise, don't blame me for having security kick you out. Then no one will be able to save face."
“This is our workplace. I will not allow you to cause trouble for my employees here. Please leave as soon as possible, otherwise…” When Chen Le said this, Lian Shang’s expression turned serious.
A dozen or so security guards, all fully equipped and ready to go, rushed over.
In an instant, they surrounded Shen Fei's three relatives and elders.
Seeing this, all three relatives were terrified.
Shen Songlin, steeling himself, coldly questioned, "What are you trying to do? Are you bullying us? Don't think you're so great just because you have some money. Paying back debts is a matter of course!"
The other two aunts chimed in.
