Chen Feng spent nearly an hour discussing the details with everyone. It was still morning in China, but it was already late at night in Los Angeles.

Zhong Lei's biological clock was disrupted and she looked a little sleepy.

She yawned, got up first and said, "I understand. I'll go to the guest room to sleep first. Chen Feng, you should also go to bed early later."

Chen Feng nodded.

Meng Xiaozhou on the opposite side also suggested, "Yes, it's too late for you. Go to bed. Let's digest it ourselves for a while."

Chen Feng hummed, "Okay, that's it for now. Fatty, don't worry, I'll think of a solution later, but you must promise me that before I think of a solution, you can't think about it."

Fatty Ou responded sullenly.

Before Chen Feng closed the communication, Lu Wei quietly raised her eyes and looked at him for a while longer.

In fact, Lu Wei understood Zhong Lei's subtext just now.

Zhong Lei was quietly telling herself a fact.

She and Chen Feng had not yet developed that kind of relationship, and they had not slept together.

Lu Wei felt a little ashamed, but also very moved.

But at the same time, she felt that this was not good.

Since what we are going to do is so big, and since we are a team, we should be more able to let go of these emotional things, and should not be entangled in small personal relationships.

But Lu Wei did not dare to communicate this issue with Zhong Lei easily.

Because Zhong Lei's creations are based on emotions and are very sentimental, Lu Wei is not sure if she will shake Zhong Lei's creative talent if she rashly promises and changes something.

Lu Wei has gradually learned how Chen Feng thinks about problems.

At the same time, she has her own ideas.

She does not particularly agree with Chen Feng's arrangements.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Lu Wei opened the encrypted communication software customized by Chen Feng on her mobile phone and sent a message, "Are you asleep?"

"Not yet. What's the matter?"

Chen Feng woke up in the afternoon and was indeed not sleepy at this time.

Lu Wei pondered for a moment, "I know you suggested that I focus on music for my own good, but I don't think it's a good idea."

Chen Feng was stunned, "Huh? What do you mean?"

He didn't quite understand Lu Wei's intention.

"Before I met you, I really just wanted to focus on creation. But you made me see my limits and helped me break through them. I'm very grateful."

Chen Feng: "Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"

"But now my mind has changed. Maybe if I continue to create like this, I can still move forward little by little on the road of music creation, but it doesn't really mean much."

"How can you say it's not significant? Don't underestimate the Renaissance. I don't need to explain the connection between the European Renaissance and the First Industrial Revolution. In the previous timeline, the star rock style you set off in advance with "Across the Stars" and your album "God of War" were very important for the subsequent literary explosion. This time you can try more."

Lu Wei smiled, "These are the things within your ability. I will certainly persevere and complete it. I will not completely cut off the path of creation, I just think I have to pick up another path. Let me give you an example. Suppose I am currently ranked 80th in the 100 miles you mentioned a thousand years ago. If I continue to focus on this, maybe I can move up to 70th in this timeline. I can indeed provide a little more help for the literary and artistic explosion you expect, but it is not enough. "

"But if I start from another career path, I can do more in my life. I can play a huge role in the cause of saving the world on another level. I know that you have been working hard to promote the integration of the Eastern and Western worlds recently. You want to eliminate the opposing ideologies and build a new world pattern with Chinese civilization as the main body while maintaining the advantages of the Indo-European language family, right?"

Chen Feng wanted to argue, but he couldn't hide it from Lu Wei. "Yes."

As expected of someone who grew up in a special family, he has been interested in administrative management since he was a child. Lu Wei, who was influenced by what she heard, continued, "You were prepared to make appropriate concessions and adjust the resource allocation of production materials on a larger scale. Your first meaning is to allow more people who are both capable and have adequate humanistic ethics to obtain greater resource allocation rights and accelerate the flow of wealth and technological innovation. Your second purpose is to allow more people to form a vested interest relationship with Xingfeng Group and our salvation. Then we can better guide the world."

Chen Feng: "Yes."

"You went to Los Angeles to attend the conference on alien threats, and later invited the Oxford professor to conduct a questionnaire survey in our country. You wanted to prove to the Western world that the Eastern way of thinking would perform better when facing a doomsday environment. At the same time, you did not deny the value of Indo-European languages. You started to promote the development of the game "The Crisis of the Compound Eye", which perfectly exposed your intention to accelerate language integration."

"You went to Lincoln County again. Although the other party never acknowledged the value of this place, I think, except for the legendary Area 51, they have nothing to attract you to make a special trip here. You saw some things, and then came up with three new materials science technologies, ready to set off a technological competition between the East and the West. I have seen the plan of the Star Institute, and I firmly believe that this competition will end with our victory. After that, we can to some extent master the key industrial chains of others and change the situation of our country lagging behind in the cutting-edge technology industrial chain." "

But from my understanding of you, your main purpose in doing this is not to exploit others. This is still your bargaining chip for promoting integration. The influence of you, me, Zhong Lei, Ou Junlang and Qin Lu in Europe and the United States is also gradually expanding. We are working with famous Chinese and Chinese people in the past to break the Western world's prejudice against us. You are promoting integration little by little through economy, technology, art, humanistic thoughts and so on. "

"You have already decided on the next new member of the salvation in your mind, right? It should be a scholar from the West. Right? Next, in order to implement the "Plan", our salvation will become larger and larger, and there will be more and more people of different skin colors from all walks of life and countries. The salvation revolves around your thoughts. In this process, the integration of the Eastern and Western worlds will still advance rapidly, right?"

Chen Feng was stunned at first, then smiled, "You are really amazing, nothing can be hidden from you."

Now he finally understood.

No wonder in the past timeline, Lu Wei repeatedly wasted her talents and ended up with a mediocre ending.

Obviously, he has a strong appreciation of musical beauty and his creative talent as a teenager was also amazing. Once his mind was liberated, his creative ability did not disappoint.

After all this time, it turns out that music is just her second talent.

She is too knowledgeable about the ways of the world.

Her IQ and EQ are both high, which is an advantage and a disadvantage.

People with high IQ and EQ tend to think too much when they stay awake, resulting in a lot of mixed thoughts.

She has been wandering between persistence in music and compromise in life utilitarianism.

This is due to her personality and ability, which makes her always live less pure.

Others will muddle through many things they don't understand, and muddle through with themselves, but she can't do it. She can't understand everything after just one look and one thought.

In the life of the previous timeline, Lu Wei was pure for once, and her creative ability exploded.

But in this timeline, that is, this month, she has obtained more information and has been observing and figuring out every step of Chen Feng.

Something happened.

She understood more things now, and had more distractions in her mind, and these distractions were still firm.

Lu Wei said again: "I fully agree with your idea of ​​promoting integration. I also think your plan is almost perfect, but it lacks an important link."

"I know what you are talking about, but I don't want to, and can't be involved in these."

"So, let me do it."

Chen Feng: "..."

"I know very well that my greatest talent is not music composition, but in another aspect. It's just that I don't like it."

Chen Feng: "Well, I understand."

He was not being polite, but really understood.

He had already read the historical materials of these people around him so well that he could recite them by heart.

Lu Wei's disgust with the political arena stems from her family.

Others envy her for being born in the Lingyun family, but only she herself can understand the loneliness of living in an environment where everyone wears a mask.

What's even more painful is that she has been very insightful about the ways of the world since she was a child. The more she understands, the more she hates it.

So she would rather give up her talent, and even refused to finish college and get a degree. She had to leave home when she was a teenager and go to Hanzhou, her hometown, to become a musician.

Maybe she didn't really like music that much at the beginning, but just wanted to find an ideal that she could fight for all her life to forget her worries.

In the process of her struggle, she might have really become addicted to music and forgotten her original motivation.

But now she has changed her mind.

"Chen Feng, I know you hate those things too, so you avoid them deliberately. You are a very pure person, and you must also keep yourself noble and absolutely confident. You cannot learn to compromise. When you try to compromise, it will shake your will and make you lose your inner firmness when facing invaders. So, let me do this." "

Didn't you just say you don't like it?"

"To evade responsibility just because you don't like it is too weak and selfish. Someone among us must go into politics. Since I am one of the founders of salvation, I can no longer evade because of my own preferences. I will do a good job and fill in the last important puzzle piece for our cause. If we complete the integration of the East and the West in advance, many people will not die in the future, and civilization can take fewer detours. Only then can your "Five Hundred Years Plan" be implemented to perfection. What do you think?"

Lu Wei used a negotiating tone.

But in fact, Chen Feng already knew the answer.

There was no room for negotiation.

She was very determined.

"So what are you going to do?"

"Return to Hanzhou University, continue singing and releasing albums while studying. I will reduce other commercial announcements and no longer hold concerts. I will strive to complete the remaining undergraduate courses within a year, and then go down to the grassroots as a selected student, and then study for a master's degree while handling official duties and singing."

Chen Feng's brows twitched, "Will it be too tiring?"

Lu Wei: "It's not easy to pursue your ideals, right? At the same time, I also hope that I can take over the main responsibility of expanding the scale of salvation and selecting personnel. Believe me, I have a good eye for people."

Lu Wei's confidence in judging people is not exaggerated.

When Chen Feng first tried to sell his songs, he was rejected by many people. In the end, he found a breakthrough in Lu Wei, who was the least likely to buy his songs.

Everything has its own cause and effect, as if it had been destined.

Chen Feng: "Well. You are great in this aspect. But we have to pay attention to another thing."

Lu Wei: "What?"

Chen Feng: "Our engagement."

"Ah?"

Chen Feng sighed, "A harmonious and stable family is very important for politicians. If you want to take this step steadily, you must have a nominal family. We have already announced the engagement, so if we break the engagement publicly after five years as originally planned, it may affect your height."

Lu Wei thought for a while, "Actually it's not that bad, there's no need to demand perfection. I don't think it's a big problem."

Chen Feng recalled the historical materials.

When Lu Wei was only focused on her artistic career, this negative scandal suppressed her life. It was not until many years later when her diary was unearthed and her "end of the world prophecy" came true that she was finally able to get her case reversed as a member of the Savior.

If she wanted to go into politics, she would need a perfect image, so the negative impact might be greater than expected.

Her sacrifice was already great, so there is no need to give her additional creative difficulties.

Chen Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Well, I've changed my mind. After five years, we won't publicly cancel our engagement or draw a clear line. Let others guess the truth."

Lu Wei: "Then what about your wedding with Zhong Lei?"

Chen Feng: "When the time comes, we'll deal with it. When you climb to a high enough level, we can react accordingly."

Lu Wei: "Then I have to discuss it with Zhong Lei."

"No, I'll go."

Lu Wei firmly refused, "No, you don't understand women. It's better for me to go."

The two argued for a while, and Chen Feng finally agreed to Lu Wei's proposal and let her do the communication.

The next morning at 8 o'clock, Chen Feng knew the result when he just woke up.

Things went more smoothly than he imagined.

While eating breakfast, Zhong Lei said nonchalantly: "I agree with Lu Wei. You don't like to be in politics, and your attention should be free from all constraints and put on bigger things. One of the six people who are saving the world must be an official, so that we can integrate resources in an all-round way and select talents. This person can only be Lu Wei."

Chen Feng: "But..."

"Hey, don't talk about this. Of course I know that she likes you, and she should know that I know. It doesn't matter. I don't think there is any conspiracy in her proposal. Lu Wei is not that kind of person, and there is no need."

Chen Feng: "Uh..."

"Don't have any psychological burden. I don't like to think about these things. I like you, but just because I like you, I can't stop anyone else in the world from liking you, right? I can't do that. I'm not busy enough to be on guard against this and that. I don't have the energy."

Zhong Lei waved her hands again and concluded the matter.

Compared with Chen Feng's foresight and consideration, it seems that these two women can really let go of their feelings, and they are more straightforward than the other.

Master Chen thought about it.

Maybe character really determines destiny.

In the first timeline, Lu Wei can't be said to be famous throughout the ages, but she can be said to have left her name in history.

There is no need to say more about Zhong Lei.

These two people's personalities are really different and distinctive.

Compared with the two of them, the self in the first timeline...

miserable, not even the identity of a celebrity neighbor.

So there are always some flaws in my character, otherwise I wouldn't have been so humble at the beginning.

After breakfast, Zhong Lei returned to Mason College, while Chen Feng wrote "Planning" and the new technology summary for a while.

Halfway through writing, he received a call.

The person who called was a little unexpected.

Director James Diaz heard that Chen Feng was in Los Angeles, so he invited him to visit the Hollywood studio and chat about the new movie script.

Director James had personally invited Chen Feng to participate in his new film, in which he played a Japanese role with a lot of action scenes, but Chen Feng refused.

At that time, Chen Feng promised to show the script to Director Zhan for review. If the script did not satisfy Director Zhan, not to mention the Japanese, even Koreans could play the role.

Director Zhan thought Chen Feng was just being polite, but recently this matter has gradually been put on the agenda.

About two or three weeks ago, Meng Xiaozhou asked Star Peak Entertainment North America to contact Director Zhan and handed over the script of Chen Feng's first science fiction film "Across the Stars" to him.

After reading it, Director Zhan was very interested.

Of course, with Director Zhan’s nature of always spending ten years to sharpen a sword, the cycle required from interest to signing, to planning, then to forming a crew, holding a start-up ceremony, on-site wrap-up, post-editing, and finally to the release is not one or two years, and there are still many steps to be completed.

In the previous timeline, "The Starry Sky" took more than four years from planning to release and detonating the box office in 2025, but Chen Feng was not in Los Angeles in June 2020, and the communication between the two took place in Beijing, China four months later.

Now Director Zhan’s new film is still in the shooting cycle, and he has been stationed in the Hollywood Second Film and Television City, located in the western suburbs of Los Angeles, 60 kilometers away from the central area of ​​​​the city.

Chen Feng was quite interested in the shooting scene of this film director who is known as one of the best film directors in the 20th and 21st centuries. He hung up the phone and went out immediately.

Because it was a temporary schedule, he was too lazy to wait for the driver to come, so he drove his Ford GT supercar out.

Well, he just got his North American driver's license, so he can drive himself.

When traveling abroad, represent the image of the motherland and be a good Chinese citizen who abides by the rules and laws.

Los Angeles and Hollywood have represented the pinnacle of the global film and television industry for a long time in the past, with a mature industrial chain, abundant talents and detailed division of labor.

The Screenwriters Association, Investors Association, many TV and film production companies, brokerage companies, distribution companies and the headquarters or important branches of film groups are all distributed throughout this area.

Several old-fashioned film and television cities built and controlled by major media groups, financial groups and wealthy families not only have a long history of hundreds of years or decades, but are also the most mature modern film and television bases for the application of new technologies in the world's film industry.

The Second Film and Television City is named the Second, but it is actually the largest and most technologically advanced film and television city in the entire Hollywood area. In addition to having various modern shooting scenes and many professional film and television shooting peripheral industries, it has also developed a prosperous town with hundreds of thousands of people.

When Chen Feng arrived here, it was exactly ten o'clock in the morning.

He parked his car in the parking lot outside James' studio.

There were luxury cars everywhere.

The Ford GT, which was worth a lot of money, was inconspicuous and looked very low-key.

As soon as he walked to the entrance of the studio, he saw James driving a four-wheel electric car slowly.

The old man looked a little absent-minded, his eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and he was full of thoughts.
