Zhou Shuai is an entertainment reporter.
To put it nicely, he is an entertainment reporter; to put it bluntly, he is a veteran entertainment paparazzi.
He learned about An Xiao's past whereabouts through some gossip.
Then he read An Xiao's Weibo.
Two months ago, when An Xiao was preparing to debut his new album, he mentioned on Weibo that he intended to ask Master Lin Yu for a song.
After investigating An Xiao's schedule, he found out that An Xiao stayed in Hengdian for a day, then returned to the company, and did not look for Lin Yu. Finally, "Invisible Wings" came out...
So, that Lu Manzi should be in Hengdian.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with these inferences. Countless entertainment reporters like him rushed to the "Meet You" coffee shop, ordering the most expensive coffee and standing there just to find out some clues about what happened to An Xiao, but in the end they achieved little.
Of course he wouldn't be that stupid.
After all, with so many people crowded in a cafe, what answer could be obtained?
This is definitely a waste of effort!
He specifically started with Xu Miaomiao, An Xiao’s closest friend and also a member of the KP girl group!
God helps those who work hard, and as expected, he got the information he wanted.
The composer of "Invisible Wings" is named Lu Yuan!
Although Xu Miaomiao didn't know who Lu Yuan was, Zhou Shuai's eyes lit up!
Finally, after unraveling the mystery, and with the help of his assistant, he finally knew who Lu Yuan was!
Knowing Lu Yuan, and investigating further...
Oh my god!
Poet and composer, screenwriter? And director?
The four identities almost scared him to death!
Then, he immediately went to find Lu Yuan, intending to confirm Lu Yuan's identity...
But, who knows...
…
The lights flickered.
This was a hall filled with the smell of alcohol and tobacco. Although the hall was generally clean, Zhou Shuai felt like vomiting and even wanted to vomit the grilled fish he had eaten at noon.
Why?
Because his mouth was gagged.
What's blocking it?
Stinky socks!
right!
Stinky socks!
This is a sad story!
"Fatty Wei, take another picture here, yes, yes! Here, take another one here!"
"Fuck, my name is Wei Wuji. If you call me Fatty Wei again, I'll get mad. Stop moving! Let's take a picture. Right! Just like this pose!"
"Okay! Another one?"
“Crack, crack!”
"What does your expression of despair mean? We are good people, there is nothing we can do!"
“…”
Zhou Shuai was tied up on a chair, facing two drunken people under the bright lights. His mood immediately fell to the bottom.
One after another, photos that looked not serious were taken with the flashing camera.
Zhou Shuai counted and found that they had taken more than thirty photos in a row!
"Have you finished filming?"
"Take two more pictures. Don't the paparazzi like the more explosive ones?"
"Did you also take off the last piece of shit?"
"This is not good... This will turn into a nude photo, which will scare the children."
"That's right, forget it then..."
"Well, we are moral people."
"right."
At first, when Zhou Shuai heard that Fatty Wei was looking at his abdomen with ill intentions, his whole body twitched and he almost collapsed. He finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that the two men did not have such intentions.
At least I still have something to cover myself...
At least……
There is one last layer of face.
After the filming, Fatty Wei put all the negatives into his pocket and swaggered away the socks that were stuffed in Zhou Shuai's mouth.
"You, you guys, what are you doing? I'm warning you, it's illegal to do this, let me go..."
"Zhou Shuai, I've heard of you! A few years ago, the movie star Liu Hongtao committed suicide by jumping off a building because of you... You are such a bad person..." Fatty Wei looked at Zhou Shuai seriously.
"You...what do you want to do? Liu Hongtao cheated on me, so what happened to me exposing him?"
"Yes, but you wrote a lot of false information in the news, causing him to be criticized by the entire circle!"
"I'm doing my job...I didn't write that report!"
"I'm sorry, whether it's what you wrote or not, we were just trying to protect ourselves... We are actually two very qualified people."
Lu Yuan coughed lightly and looked at Zhou Shuai with a very sincere look and a serious expression.
"Can you please put the camera down now?"
"Ahem, ahem, okay, put it down, put it down. By the way, I'm Lu Yuan, and I wrote the song "Invisible Wings."
"I know!"
"What else do you know!"
"I know a lot of things."
"Are you here for the reward?"
"No, I wanted to get the scoop before everyone else!"
"I think we can cooperate..." Lu Yuan smiled. "Do you smoke?"
"smoke!"
"Fatty Wei, light his cigarette!"
"alright……"
"Can you please let me go? I'm not used to being talked to like this... Also, is this cooperation? This is being kidnapped by you! Also, why are you taking pictures of me? Tell me!"
"I can give you the scoop, but not right now..."
"What is that?"
"On the eve of our movie's release... at the end of this month..."
"Released? According to my investigation, you have visited many theaters in the past two days, but no theater is willing to play a film like yours!"
"Yeah, I'm very worried! Well, do you have any solution?" Fatty Wei hesitated at first, then suddenly his eyes lit up and he stared at Zhou Shuai.
"I won't help you!" Zhou Shuai looked coldly!
"I took a lot of photos of you." Fatty Wei shook his head.
"You threaten me?"
"Yes, I am threatening you!"
“…”
Seeing Fatty Wei's self-righteous look, Zhou Shuai suddenly felt a headache. He had always been the one threatening others in the past, but now he was the one being threatened.
"Will you help me?" Fatty Wei took off his shirt with a rude look on his face, revealing his fat.
"Let me go. I have a relative in the marketing department of Canon Cinemas. He's a leader and has someone who has his say..." Zhou Shuai finally gave in.
The fat man's eyes were somewhat ambiguous.
He couldn't help but feel nervous.
"OK."
“Beep, beep, beep.”
Just when Fatty Wei was untying Zhou Shuai, Lu Yuan's phone rang. Lu Yuan looked at the phone and saw that it was Wang Jinxue calling.
…
"Director Lu, have you found a theater?"
"not yet……"
"Not going well?"
"Yes, but it shouldn't matter much..."
"Have you heard of Tianhe Cinema?"
"I've heard of it. It seems to be a cinema company that opened last year. It's not very large..."
"Have you looked for it?"
"not yet……"
"You look down on second-tier cinemas?"
"Not really. I just plan to finish the big cinemas first, and then these..."
"I'll ask someone to send the contract to you later."
"Ah? Do you know the leader of that theater chain?"
"I don't know the leader very well, but I know the boss and the boss's wife."
"Ah, how long have you known each other?"
"Not long, just over 20 years or so." The person on the other end of the phone shook his head faintly.
"More than 20 years?" Lu Yuan was stunned.
"Yes, more than 20 years..."
"That's a long time, but I'm afraid it's hard to discuss the profit sharing between this movie and the cinema. After all..."
"It's okay, I'll take care of these. Don't worry about the contract, I won't let you lose money."
"Oh..." Lu Yuan nodded and subconsciously took out a cigarette.
"You've been smoking all day lately?"
"It's okay, I didn't smoke much."
“How many packs a day?”
"Bullshit, I'm not exaggerating, it's just one pack."
"Quit it, don't be afraid of lung cancer!"
"If I don't quit...I will never be able to quit in this lifetime."
"Is Chen Xi pretty at the poetry conference?"
"pretty!"
“Pah.”
"???"
“Beep, beep, beep.”
Wang Jinxue's sudden hanging up of the phone left Lu Yuan a little confused.
Is this call so stupid?
Won't it make you lose money?
You are an investor, so you won't let us lose money, right? Why are you suddenly so distant?
Are you angry?
Why are you angry?
"Ayuan, what's wrong?"
"The cinema has been found..."
"Ah? Have you found a place to stay?"
"Um……"
