"I want a deal."

"What agreement?"

"Film Cooperation Agreement."

"Have you seen any good movies?"

"Yes, there is."

"Which director?"

"Lu Yuan."

"You've never heard of... the young director who just graduated from Yanying?"

"It's not important..."

"When is the release date?"

"September 1st."

"Oh, then I'll leave the midnight slot for you, and put down that book 'Scary Terror'..."

"Midnight slot? No! I want a daytime slot!"

"Daytime? How much is the total investment for that movie?"

“I invested in this movie.”

"You invested? I haven't heard that you used a large amount of money to invest in any movie... and it's a new director."

“I invested a million!”

"What about the others?"

“The total investment is just one million!”

“…”

“Where’s the agreement?”

"Midnight slots are fine, but daytime slots are not. The cinema chain has just opened and needs popularity. We can't use these shoddy movies to fill the gaps. Besides, the daytime slots have already been booked."

"Show me the schedule."

"See for yourself on the table."

"Are you going to sign Capital City?"

"Yeah, I had a good chat with Joaquin yesterday."

"If you don't want to sign it, let's do Buried Alive instead."

"What!"

"Change my movie!"

"Nonsense! Do you know what you are talking about?"

"The movie sample is on your table, take a look first, I'll wait for you here."

"All right."

An hour later...

"How about it?"

"The movie doesn't have a big problem, it's OK, but it doesn't necessarily mean it will have good box office. The actors' acting is OK, but without the support of Joaquin, it's hard to have publicity... I still mean it, the midnight slot is for you, I'll also sign for 'Capital'."

"Then I want a portion of the daytime slot... I won't stop you from signing "Capital City". After "Flying Life" is taken off the screen, it will be replaced by "Capital City"..."

"You are really...ah...okay..."

"Well, I'm leaving now."

"Are you interested in that Lu Yuan?"

"You should smoke less. I don't want my mother to be a widow!"

“…”

Wang Jinxue was standing at the door holding the contract. After hearing what the middle-aged man in the office said, she paused for a moment, left this sentence, and then turned and left.

"Can't you expect me to be better?"

The middle-aged man watched Wang Jinxue leave and then shook his head, looking helpless.

Then he looked at the script and the movie.

The script is a good script and the movie is also a good movie.

However, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is what kind of magic power does that young man have that can make his little princess speak for him without any effort?

Quite interesting.

…

People feel refreshed when happy things happen.

Fatty Wei was in high spirits. He combed his hair back into a big bun and even spent an extra hundred yuan to buy some "Huaxia" cigarettes and put them in his pocket.

Fatty Wei had heard of Tianhe Cinemas. Although it was considered a second-tier cinema chain in China and not very famous, after experiencing repeated rejections and disappointments, it was really a blessing to be able to find a cinema chain that would show the film and offer a decent share of the profits.

He seemed to see his career as a director change from dull to dazzling, and even saw Shen Lianjie kneeling on the ground and calling him dad.

Fatty Wei felt very happy when he thought about it.

Lu Yuan was relatively calm about this. When Wang Jinxue sent the contract to Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan smelled the faint fragrance on the contract and for a moment he felt like he was being taken advantage of...

Isn’t it?

invest?

She's out!

Cinema?

She found it.

I only have a script and a random director who I don't know if he is reliable or not...

And then this movie was made...

If we really want to break it down further...

I didn’t do anything damned!

He shook his head violently, forcing himself not to think too much, otherwise it would be too much of a blow to his dignity as a man.

What does it mean to feel like a loser?

After quickly reading the contract, Lu Yuan saw nothing wrong with it so he signed it.

I was tricked by the contract. There was no clause about being sold out. Everything was reasonable.

"You two... since you've already found a theater that's willing to broadcast the film and don't need my help, and I promised to cooperate with you in keeping the publicity confidential, shouldn't you let me go now? I don't want the bonus, right?"

"I think we should take off your pants for a photo."

"What do you want to do! F*ck!"

"Okay, just kidding!"

"What on earth do you want to do?!"

"It's okay. It's fine. It's fine."

The midday sun is very dazzling.

Poor guy Zhou Shuai has been locked up for a day and has been exposed to smoke all day long. He even suspected that he would suffocate to death if he was exposed to the smoke any further.

This is a smoky hall.

"Gentlemen, what on earth are you doing? Can you let me use your bathroom to rinse my mouth? I really can't stand the smell of these stinky socks!"

"Go ahead, no one is stopping you..."

"real?"

"Do you think I look so honest that I would lie to you? I said I would quit smoking for a day, did you see me smoking yesterday?"

"???"

Fatty Wei looked at Lu Yuan with a strange expression and was suddenly speechless, thinking that this guy was talking nonsense again.

Zhou Shuai might have been traumatized by this. He looked back every time he took a step, and then looked back again, fearing that this sturdy Fatty Wei would run over and do something he didn't like...

After arriving at the bathroom, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly flushed the faucet.

The cool water washed over his mouth, finally dispelling the smell of the stinky socks. At this moment he even suddenly felt that the water was quite sweet.

After showering, he looked at his haggard self in the mirror and suddenly felt like he had lost all desire to live.

Lu Manzi, Lu Manzi!

I finally understand why he is called Lu Manzi.

It's simply the devil!

After walking out of the bathroom, Zhou Shuai saw Lu Yuan and Fatty Wei staring at him, especially Fatty Wei's eyes that were always filled with ill intentions. His heart, which had originally relaxed a little, suddenly tensed up.

What do these two people want to do?

"By the way, do you want a scoop?"

"What do you want to do now?"

“Don’t be nervous, come here, brother, it’s a misunderstanding, we’ve explained it, we were really doing it to protect ourselves before, we were just afraid that you would write nonsense, in fact, we are all good people, come, sit here… come, don’t be restrained, we are all good people…” Fatty Wei pointed to the seat beside him enthusiastically, his smile like a blooming **.

"What exclusive news?" Zhou Shuai did not sit down, but stared at Fatty Wei.

This guy has a lot of bad ideas.

"Tsk tsk, you can give Lu Yuan an exclusive interview. A few days before our movie is released, you can release this interview. Lu Yuan will tell you some secrets of An Xiao and the creation process of "Invisible Wings"...? This is a rare good thing..."

"real?"

“It has to be true!”

"good!"

…

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The popularity of the song "Invisible Wings" is getting more and more crazy. When you walk on the street, you can find anyone humming a line or two of this song.

This song is played on TV song request stations every day, and it is always at the top of the charts. The album is sold out, suppressing the sales of other singers' albums by nearly half. Major dealers line up in the factory early in the morning to get the first-hand goods. Almost all of them are sold out as soon as they are put on the shelves...

With the popularity of "Invisible Wings", the bounty for Lu Manzi and Er Gouzi has reached a staggering 600,000. It has even become a hot topic on the Internet. All kinds of doubts and speculations are heard one after another. Every day, a large number of people go to Hengdian for various investigations, but they all return empty-handed. Some people are even about to find the truth like Zhou Shuai, but unfortunately they lose the clue inexplicably in the end. All kinds of false information are flying around, making it difficult to tell what is true and what is false.

Tianyu did not stop this, but continued to add fuel to the fire, hyping the whole thing to a climax!

Although the identities of Lu Ergouzi and Lu Manzi were kept secret, several senior executives in the circle guessed it.

Joaquin Headquarters.

"Brother T, what are you going to do?"

"Looking for Lu Yuan."

"Didn't he refuse? Brother T, I don't think it's necessary to spend time on him."

"Do you know the identities of Lu Manzi and Lu Ergouzi?"

"I don't know. What's wrong?"

"So you can only follow me. Come on, prepare the ticket for me."

"good."

…

“Beep, beep, beep!”

"Hello……"

"who?"

"Lu Yuan?"

"Yes, who are you?"

"I'm your old classmate Chen Feng, do you remember?"

"Uh, I remember. What's wrong?"

“Are you in Hengdian?”

"Um...what is it?"

"That's great. The high school reunion will be tomorrow evening. I finally found you! I'm just missing you..."

"I won't go... I have something to do..."

"Come on, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I missed you so much. It won't take up too much of your time. Besides, there are a few of our classmates who are in the entertainment industry, and they seem to be doing pretty well. I heard that you are in Hengdian, maybe I can help you out..."

"Uh... forget it."

"Come on, seriously, we all miss you... I know you may not be doing well, but I am not doing well either, it doesn't matter, we are still classmates!"

"Um, okay..."
