Ye Tian: "If I didn't have friends in your Qingmen, you would have paid ten times the price you are now!"
"Thank you, sir! If you need anything in the future, just command us, and Qingmen will do its best."
"You're welcome."
Then, he tossed the phone to Fan Biao. Fan Biao took the call, and a torrent of scolding came from the other end, making Fan Biao nod repeatedly with a distressed expression.
After hanging up, he said, "Mr. Ye, it was our fault. We will do whatever you say."
Ye Tian left a slip of paper, saying, "This is the account number." With that, he left the scene with Ren Ping.
They went to another living room, where Yan Ruxue and the company staff were waiting. Seeing him arrive, Yan Ruxue asked, "Tian Ge, how did it go?"
Ye Tian replied, "It's all settled. The other party apologized and is willing to pay fifty billion in settlement fees."
Everyone was stunned to hear this. Fifty billion!
Yan Ruxue's cherry lips parted in surprise. After a few seconds, she managed to ask, "They're really going to pay us fifty billion?"
Ye Tian: "Of course. I gave them an account number, and they'll transfer the money soon."
Yan Ruxue smiled, "If it weren't for you, I really don't know what we would have done."
Ye Tian: "You should have contacted me earlier about something like this."
Yan Ruxue lowered her head, "I didn't expect things to escalate so much."
After speaking, she seemed to remember something and smiled, "Tian Ge, the movie you acted in is being released today. Do you want to know how it's doing?"
Ye Tian, who had previously played the second male lead, a martial arts master, asked with a smile, "Really? Has it made any money?"
Yan Ruxue's secretary, a beautiful long-legged girl, quickly took out her phone and opened an app. She said, "Mr. Ye, this is the real-time box office for the movie. The reviews are very good, with a score of 9.5 on major film review websites."
Ye Tian took the phone and glanced at it. The movie, which had an investment of twenty to thirty million, had a first-day box office exceeding forty million. He couldn't help but smile, "It seems like it will make money. Ruxue, why don't we go watch it?"
Yan Ruxue nodded vigorously, "Okay, there's a cinema nearby, and there's a showing of our movie in half an hour."
Ren Ping, being perceptive, said, "Then I'll take my leave."
Ye Tian: "Aren't you coming to watch with us?"
Ren Ping thought to himself, *Should I go and be a third wheel?* He quickly waved his hands, "No, I have other tasks."
In a mall a few hundred meters away, Ye Tian and Yan Ruxue bought their tickets, ordered some snacks, and then entered the cinema together.
Ye Tian glanced at the poster. The movie was titled "Urban Wuxia," which sounded a bit cheesy, but the poster design was quite good. On the poster, Ye Tian appeared in the center, even more prominent than the male lead.
He couldn't help but laugh, "Anyone who didn't know would think I was the male protagonist."
Yan Ruxue smiled, "You are the male protagonist!"
Ye Tian was taken aback, "I'm the male protagonist?"
Yan Ruxue nodded, "When the director was editing, he found all your performances to be incredibly brilliant, so he decided to add more scenes for you, increasing your screen time to be equal to the male lead. Therefore, you and the original male lead are both protagonists."
Ye Tian's eyes widened, "That's allowed? But I didn't film that many scenes!"
Yan Ruxue: "That's easy. We used AI technology to put you in the film. However, for the action scenes, we used your previously filmed footage because AI can't replicate your movements as realistically and beautifully."
Ye Tian chuckled, "Good thing my value as an actor is still somewhat recognized."
The two of them entered the cinema and found the attendance rate to be good. They had to sit in the back row.
The movie started playing soon. At the beginning, it showed the character played by Ye Tian fighting a group of villains. His legwork was exquisite, and every move elicited gasps of admiration from the audience.
