293 Reversal

Big Brother Le’s temple twitched when he heard the name “Jiang Min”. It was no surprise that he had such a strong reaction. Jiang Min was just too difficult to deal with.

“Didn’t she go overseas to study? How did you meet her?” Big Brother Le looked at Second Brother Le suspiciously, suspecting that he was deliberately deceiving them.

Second Brother smiled like a little fox.

“I heard that she’s the same as you, facing the pressure of her family to force her to marry. Her mother was afraid that she would marry a random foreigner and from then on, she’d be free to do whatever she wants. So, she came up with an excuse to trick her into coming back and arranged many blind dates for her.”

When Big Brother Le first heard the name “Jiang Min”, his imposing manner weakened. However, after Second Brother Le’s words, he regained his rationality and quickly found an obvious loophole.

“You just said that she still misses me. That’s obviously a lie. If she really had me in her heart, she wouldn’t have stayed abroad all these years and needed her mother to trick her back.”

The corners of Big Brother Le’s mouth curled up slightly with a “so-so” smile. He glanced at him.

“Secondly, as you said, many blind dates were arranged for her after she came back. Under such circumstances, she still didn’t come to me, which proves that she’s not willing to look for me or that she doesn’t even remember me. This just confirms my first point.”

The smile on Second Brother Le’s face froze for a moment. However, since his first plan didn’t work, he quickly came up with another plan.

Second Brother Le gave him a thumbs-up and said in admiration,

“You’re indeed my big brother. You’re amazing. How can those ordinary people outside compare to you? No wonder Jiang Min was so obsessed with you back then. I wonder if she’d be interested in those blind dates now with you around.”

Second Brother pretended to sigh and shake his head.

“If she doesn’t like any of them, it’s hard to guarantee that she won’t remember how outstanding Big Brother is. After all, even if their friendship is no longer there, Big Brother is still the best candidate for a husband.”

“In other words, don’t even think about getting rid of Jiang Min so easily.”

Big Brother Le also heard the unspoken words in his mind. If Jiang Min really couldn’t remember, he didn’t mind reminding her.

Big Brother Le narrowed his eyes.

“You’re not wrong. When I think of such a hidden crisis, I’m not in the mood to work anymore. Instead of waiting for her to come to my door, I might as well get rid of all the things on me and find an excuse to hide for three to five years. It’ll be much easier.”

When Second Brother Le heard what he said, he was initially happy. However, as he was happy, he felt that something was wrong and quickly tried to stop him.

“Aiya, Big Brother, it’s just a woman. What are you afraid of her for? Back then, you even had a way to send her abroad to study and avoid her pestering. With your abilities now, isn’t it easy to deal with her?”

Second Brother Le was a little upset. He had only wanted to vent his anger just now, so he had spoken too much and offended his big brother. He had completely forgotten that he had a favor to ask of him.

Second Brother Le had been a science fiction fan since he was a child, so he loved all kinds of works related to science fiction. The reason why he entered the entertainment industry and opened a management company was more or less because of this. He wanted to make a science fiction film himself.

Nowadays, special effects were getting more and more advanced, but there were still very few Sci-Fi films in the country. One of the main reasons was that the production cost of good special effects movies was particularly expensive. It was at least 500 to 600 million, and it could easily be 800 to 900 million. It was normal to have a production cost of more than a billion.

The high cost brought about huge risks. For example, if the cost was one billion, the box office had to reach three billion to break even. Without the support of the foreign market, no director would dare to pat his chest and say that this film would definitely hit three billion at the box office with the domestic market alone.

If you wanted to make money, the box office had to rise even higher. For example, four billion in box office sales. With such a box office, only two or three movies out of so many movies released in a year could reach this level.

The box office sounded high, but the money they got from the splitting wasn’t much. It was better to film other movies with pleasing themes. Not to mention, the production cycle was so long because of the special effects. It was enough for other people to shoot two movies.

Therefore, due to various reasons, few people were willing to touch Sci-Fi themes, let alone invest in them. However, Second Brother Le didn’t give up. He still harbored the dream of making a Sci-Fi film, especially after obtaining an exciting script.

It was a pity that capitalists only cared about money and not ideals. In the end, only Second Brother Le and his scoundrels invested some money symbolically out of brotherhood, which wasn’t even enough.
