Ye Jin put down his wine glass, came to the living room immediately, and picked up the phone, "Hey, I'm Ye Jin."

George Lucas followed him out.

"Mr. Ye, I'm George Anderson." The voice of George Anderson, the distribution manager of Warner Pictures, came from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Anderson, suddenly call me. Is there any good news?" Ye Jin asked expectantly.

"Ye, I'm really sorry. Although we are friends and we have worked together well, I really couldn't help you this time." Anderson said in a very regretful tone, "After the company's research, we decided that we will not release the movie "Star Wars"."

After hearing what he said, Ye Jin's face suddenly froze.

Although he has been rejected many times in the past few days and his psychological resistance to hit has been significantly enhanced, hearing Warner's reply made him feel betrayed.

You know, he has helped Warner make a lot of money over the past year. The rise in the stock price alone has increased Warner's market value by 450 million US dollars. Unexpectedly, when he needed help the most, Warner Pictures closed the door to him, which was so cruel.

"Mr. Anderson, is this your final decision? Is there no room for maneuver?" Ye Jin asked with a frown, "Have you forgotten that I have made a lot of money for you?"

"Ye, this is the final decision and will not be changed." Anderson replied, "You must also remember that business is business. We hope that you will continue to cooperate with us after you have new works."

When Ye Jin heard him say this, he couldn't help but hung up the phone.

When these turtle-boys were helping them make money, they spoke better than anyone else. Now when they encountered trouble, they all shrank aside and ignored them. It was really his.

...

"Ye, how about it?" Lucas asked with the last trace of luck.

Although he could already guess the answer, he would rather guess it wrong.

"After research, Warner Pictures decided not to release "Star Wars"." Ye Jin sighed and said depressedly.

Foreigners just have no loyalty, and say "business is business", and they will do it.

After hearing Ye Jin say this, Lucas suddenly shook his body.

Even though he was prepared, he was still hit hard after hearing this news.

If Warner Pictures didn't make this call, he would still feel a little lucky. But now, almost all of Hollywood's six giants rejected "Star Wars", which completely shattered his hopes.

"Okay, George, don't be too sad." Seeing this, Ye Jin stepped forward and hugged him, "Let's go, let's continue drinking, and get drunk to relieve your worries."

George Lucas followed Ye Jin back to the room numbly, sat down, drank a glass of wine, and then muttered to himself in confusion, "How could this be the case? Is our movie really a bad movie? Why are they unwilling to release it?"

Ye Jin couldn't answer his question either.

He was not sure whether this version of "Star Wars" was too bad or the original version of "Star Wars" had such an experience. Therefore, he couldn't say anything, so he had to continue to persuade him to drink.

...

In fact, what Ye Jin didn’t know was that the original “Star Wars” had twists and turns from production to release back then.

When he was investing in the early stages, major filmmakers were not very interested in Lucas' story. Only Fox Company was willing to invest eight million US dollars in his previous filming of "American Style Painting".

During the filming process, the crew members were also very unpopular with the movie and kept complaining. Sir Alec Guinness, who plays Obiwan, even took the initiative to ask his fans not to watch the movie.

When it was released, only forty theaters were willing to show the movie, and other theaters were not optimistic about it. Seeing this, Fox Film had to threaten the major theaters. If the movie was not shown, they would not give them the screening rights of the popular movie "Midnight Stand Pick", which made the major theaters surrender.

In fact, Fox Pictures was not optimistic about the original Star Wars at that time. It was just that it had invested 11 million US dollars (8 million in pre-order investment, and then three million were added). If there was no theater release, it would be completely lost. Therefore, Fox Pictures forced the theaters to screen the film.

However, Ye Jin's movie was independently invested by him. Fox Pictures did not invest a penny in it, so even if the movie was lost, it had nothing to do with it, so it naturally would not consider Ye Jin.

...

Ye Jin drank with Lucas.

Lucas was hit by this and was determined to be drunk. He directly held the wine bottle and started to fight. After a while, he was already drunk and fell on the bed and snored loudly.

Ye Jin helped him take off his shoes, covered him with the quilt, and then quietly returned to the living room.

"Brother Jin, what's going on?" Lin Qingxia asked in confusion when she saw this.

"Hey, it's a long story. In short, I might be in trouble this time." Ye Jin sighed and smiled bitterly.

"What's going on? What's going on?" Lin Qingxia asked in confusion.

"That's right, major Hollywood publishers are unwilling to help us publish "Star Wars"." Ye Jin smiled bitterly, "This time it was you right, I was wrong, alas!"

"Why is this happening? What should you do if you invest the money?" Lin Qingxia was shocked and asked hurriedly.

"If the movie cannot be released, the money you invest will naturally not be collected." Ye Jin said helplessly, ""

"Ah?! That's more than 10 million US dollars." Lin Qingxia said in shock.

More than 10 million US dollars, it was just a waste of water. It was so painful for Ye Jin to think about it.

"Oh my God, what should I do?" Lin Qingxia said at a loss. She was not sitting or standing, and she felt a severe headache.

"Don't be so anxious, I'm not at the end of my life. 15 million US dollars can't kill me." Seeing this, Ye Jin hurried forward, hugged her in his arms, and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, we still have so many real estate and stocks, enough for us to live a glorious life, don't worry."

"Really?!" Lin Qingxia finally felt better after hearing what he said, "Then what should we do next?"
