Chapter 58: A gambler transforms into President Chen?
Su Dalong stared wide-eyed at Chen Le.
The two were locked in a fierce battle, neither willing to give an inch.
"Alright, stop arguing!"
"Sit down and eat properly! Otherwise, don't blame me for getting angry!"
Su Tieshan slapped the table and said.
Chen Le and Su Dalong then sat down.
Su Xi was also extremely embarrassed and quickly snatched the remote control away.
Hopefully, this news will divert everyone's attention and prevent them from focusing on Chen Le.
My finger tapped the remote control twice.
Cut it off the stage.
News report: "Dragon Kingdom War God 2" is showing in theaters and its box office is still soaring!
"Our reporter reports that cinemas are currently packed!"
"Dragon Kingdom War God 2 achieves another great success. Director Feng Kuzi, in an interview, mentioned..."
Sure enough, the whole family was drawn to the news on TV.
Su Xi also caught her breath and decided to go all in, suggesting, "Sister-in-law, it's a rare holiday, how about we go see a movie later?"
"My colleague told me this movie is good and the tickets are very affordable. Shall we go see it?"
Liu Mengmeng's eyes lit up, and she smiled and said, "Great! I've heard from my colleagues that this movie is really good!"
"And I even know some inside information!"
"It's said that the investors in this movie are from Tianzhou!"
"This movie was originally abandoned, but it was only because this investor put in money to continue filming that it was able to be released!"
"I never expected it to climb all the way to the box office champion, it's truly inspiring!"
As Liu Mengmeng spoke, she searched for movie tickets, seemingly intending to pay the bill.
Su Tieshan also became interested and said with a smile, "Don't you understand? This movie is about the War of Resistance against Japan, and it's about the heroes of our same division!"
"My comrade told me about it before, and I was so excited!"
"This time, we'll go with you to take a look!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Le was overjoyed!
To everyone's surprise, the Su family really liked the movie they invested in.
"Hey, hey, Su Xi, look..."
"Didn't you say last time that Chen Le also invested in a movie?"
"Could it be..."
Suddenly, Mengmeng took out her phone.
He handed it to Su Xi with a look of astonishment.
The promotional list for "Dragon Kingdom War God 2" was visible.
The investor was none other than Chen Le!
The two large, gold-plated characters are particularly eye-catching!
After glancing at it, Su Xi smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, there are many people with the same name, and the name Chen Le is quite common!"
After saying that, she continued eating with her head down.
"What are you two talking about? I can't understand you."
At this moment, Zhang Xiuqin asked a question from the side.
Su Xi said helplessly, "Mom, Chen Le invested in a small movie before, and that's how he made money from the movie."
"My sister-in-law said that the investor of 'Dragon Kingdom War God 2' has the same name as Chen Le."
"I'll explain it to her..."
"That's impossible..."
Zhang Xiuqin nodded, and said thoughtfully, "Oh, that's unlikely..."
As she spoke, she looked up at Chen Le with curiosity and asked, "Chen Le, what's the name of the movie you invested in?"
As soon as the words came out.
All eyes turned to Chen Le.
Su Tieshan even laughed and said:
"Tell me, we're going to the movies anyway, might as well catch a glimpse..."
"I'll contribute for you..."
Chen Le scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Dragon Kingdom War God 2!"
After he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Su Dalong let out a cold laugh.
Liu Mengmeng quickly said, "Chen Le, I'm talking to you seriously, don't joke around..."
Chen Le said helplessly, "Sister-in-law, it really is 'Dragon Kingdom War God 2'..."
"The script had already gone through three hands by the time it reached me."
"No need to buy movie tickets, I'll take you straight to the movie later!"
After Chen Le finished speaking, he lowered his head and continued eating.
The Su family members all stopped eating, put down their bowls and chopsticks, and looked on in disbelief!
Su Xi, in particular, choked!
I quickly poured myself a glass of water and drank it down!
Liu Mengmeng's eyes widened in surprise.
"Chen Le, you...you're not joking!"
"The investor in this movie looks like you... Did you really invest in it?"
Chen Le smiled and said calmly, "Really!"
"If you don't believe me, I'll make a video call to the lead actor and show you in a bit whether it's the same as the promotional video."
As he spoke, he took out his phone and made a video call.
A moment later, a handsome young man answered the phone and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"
Chen Le greeted him, "I hope you're happy too!"
"President Chen, President Chen, when will the sequel to our Dragon Kingdom War God be filmed? We're waiting for you!"
Chen Le laughed and said, "We'll invest right away. The screenwriters are working on the script. Just wait for news!"
"Then...the lead actors..."
The young man looked very nervous, afraid that he would be replaced.
"Don't worry, you're already chosen!"
Chen Le smiled.
"Really? Mr. Chen, that's wonderful!"
"Really, my family likes you a lot. Why don't you come and say hello?"
Chen Le asked.
"Of course, I would be delighted! It is my honor to be favored by Mr. Chen's family!"
Long Hao's surprised voice came through the phone.
Chen Le casually turned his phone around.
When everyone saw Long Hao in the video, they were all speechless with surprise.
Long Hao was very eloquent, and he said a set of auspicious words to all the aunts, uncles, brothers, and sisters, without repeating a single one, which made the Su family very happy.
Chen Le was stunned.
This kid... he's really broadened his horizons.
Ten minutes later, the video call ended!
The way the Su family looked at Chen Le immediately changed completely.
"Chen Le, this movie... wow, you actually invested in it!"
Liu Mengmeng was the most moved and was the first to ask the question!
To my utter surprise, the movie that my colleagues were talking about every day was actually directed by my brother-in-law!
This is this...
Too shocked!
Chen Le smiled and nodded.
When Chen Le admitted it again, everyone was shocked once more!
Who would have thought!
A gambler who was once desperate and despised by everyone has transformed himself into a top-tier film investor!
The current box office champion, Dragon Kingdom War God 2, was actually produced by Chen Le!
For a moment, everyone was a little stunned.
Su Dalong, in particular, was also dumbfounded.
Chen Le...
Isn't he a fraud?
What a complete scoundrel!
A good-for-nothing who knows nothing!
How did he... transform into President Chen?
The stark contrast filled him with immense shame, yet he couldn't bring himself to speak, and could only remain silent!
On the contrary, Su Tieshan laughed heartily with excitement, patted Chen Le on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Chen Le, the patriotism promoted in this work really touches the hearts of us veterans!"
"Great shot! Great shot! Hahaha!"
"Well done!"
He didn't care how much money Chen Le made from investing in this project.
It was truly moving that the glorious deeds of the veterans were made into a movie!
Su Xi also came to her senses at this moment!
Unbelievable! Chen Le is the investor of Dragon Kingdom War God!
It felt like a dream.
Liu Mengmeng was the first to recover, and said with delight, "That's great, Chen Le, you're the boss now! You must never pick up any bad habits again, and you must treat Xiaoxi well!"
"By the way, how much can you make by investing in a movie like this?"
Everyone else looked at Chen Le with curiosity.
