After discussing the matter to the last detail, they all said their goodbyes and left.

Yi Yang returned to his chair and began searching for scripts based on the given criteria.

Jiang Wen's is relatively simple; he should be able to handle the script for "Let the Bullets Fly".

After all, I had seen the original film.

It can be said that it achieved both critical acclaim and box office success.

The problem now is Kwan Kam-pang's demands.

Yi Yang tried looking for art films with elements of commercial films, and actually came up with a few, all of which were representative films.

The Dead End, Farewell My Concubine, Flipped...

After thinking for a long time, Yi Yang first turned his attention to "Farewell My Concubine," the famous work of the "great poet Chen."

It seems like he's won so many awards he's practically overwhelmed.

Although I haven't seen the original film, I know it's a work by "Brother".

However, the female perspective that Kwan Kam-pang requested was a bit difficult to achieve.

Yi Yang didn't care anymore; he just wrote it down first, and if people didn't like it, so be it.

After making up his mind, Yi Yang got up and prepared to go home.

The matter has already been discussed and resolved. Why should I stay at the company and continue to experience what it's like to work 996?

Besides, Leba is home alone and must be lonely. Since she's always writing anyway, she might as well stay home and be comfortable.

Before leaving, Yi Yang went to the editing room and stayed for more than half an hour, sharing some of his thoughts with the editor before leaving.

Anyway, it's only in the rough cut stage now, and the special effects aren't finished yet, so there's no rush.

............

Inside the building, Jiang Wen came to say goodbye to Jin Hua.

After all, he was from Kyoto, and it was only by chance that he met Yi Yang. Now that everything was alright, he had to go home to be with his wife and children.

"Sister Hua, did you scare the little guy today? Haha... I never expected that Guan Jinpeng, who looks so refined, would be so ruthless..."

Jin Hua smiled upon hearing this.

"I reckon Director Guan didn't do it on purpose; he just has a penchant for art-house films. But you, you sly fox, you dug a pit for him. Let me tell you, know when to stop!"

Jiang Wen waved his hand dismissively and said, "Don't worry! I think that little guy is very confident. I'm just checking his quality for you."

Looking at the unrestrained man in front of her, Jin Hua felt quite helpless.

After all, the two have been friends for many years and know each other's personalities and temperaments quite well. Some things can be said without saying more.

"Alright, don't you have to catch a flight? Let's go!"

"Hehe... I'll be going now."

Watching Jiang Wen leave, Jin Hua smiled and shook her head.

However, this time, it can be considered a test for Yi Yang.

After all, the conditions proposed by the two people were of hellish difficulty.

...........

Huayi Headquarters

The once bustling and lively building is now quite desolate.

In the chairman's office, many of the furnishings were gone.

Some were transferred and sold, while others were smashed by Wang Lei.

Wang Lei's originally arrogant face now turned very gloomy.

Especially after Wang Jun and Jin Hua's press conference, when Yi Yang's name appeared prominently on the shareholder list following the change in the new company's equity.

It's not just Wang Lei; other entertainment companies that have been following the story are also discussing Yi Yang. According to the information available, he only appears as the screenwriter for a few dramas.

As for the identity of the online novelist, it is a pen name, and with the confidentiality of the novel platform, it has not been revealed yet.

However, Wang Lei's office has just welcomed a guest.

"Mr. Wang, what do you think? Tencent Entertainment is currently the only dominant player in the market. Only by joining forces with iQiyi can we curb their dominance."

"Besides, Huayi's stock has already plummeted to such a state that you can't hold on any longer! If the cash flow dries up, you'll probably have to liquidate, right?"

Looking at the middle-aged man leisurely smoking in front of him, Wang Lei felt even more annoyed.

He was just a vice president, an employee, yet one day he was so high and mighty in front of me.

It's all that bitch Jin Hua's fault; otherwise, how could I have ended up in such a state?

However, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse.

Even though Jin Hua took away a large number of artists, causing serious damage to Huayi, it's not enough to cause it to collapse.

At least the renowned director Feng Xiaogang and several other top-tier artists are still signed with Huayi Brothers.

Moreover, the company is still filming several movies. If the box office takes off, at least the stock price will rebound to some extent.

Wang Lei is currently holding onto this mindset and stubbornly resisting.

"There's nothing to talk about. I welcome cooperation between the two companies, but if you want an acquisition, then we'll see if you'll break a few of your teeth."

Seeing that Wang Lei remained unmoved and determined to fight to the end, Li Dong, the vice president of the iQiyi platform, couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Alright! Since Mr. Wang insists, I'll be leaving now."

Li Dong casually stubbed out his cigarette, then got up and left.

After the door closed, an enraged Wang Lei grabbed the ashtray in front of him and smashed it.

With a "thud," it bounced back onto the marble floor and shattered into irregular pieces.

Wang Lei's face was filled with a violent expression, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.

"Damn Wang Jun, Jin Hua, and that Yi Yang, and Li Dong, one day I will make you pay the price."
