Li Qi returns to "remote" entertainment again.
He sat opposite Lu Yuan.
He had an awkward smile on his face, and although he tried to sit normally, he looked a little uneasy.
For some reason, he was a little nervous.
It can be seen that the incident with Zhao Yi dealt him a great blow, turning this self-proclaimed genius director into a completely different person. He has lost the energy as a cutting-edge director.
He felt that Lu Yuan put a lot of pressure on him.
At least when he was sitting opposite Lu Yuan, he felt that there was a strong inexplicable aura lingering around Lu Yuan, which made him feel suffocated and nervous.
Screenwriter, director, actor, singer, pianist, poet...
Countless names are just a halo...
Faced with such a monstrous existence and comparing it with his own failure, it was really difficult for Li Qi to remain calm.
"Director Li...I asked someone to transfer the money to your card."
"No, no...I don't want it. I owe you these."
"No, I said no before."
"No, no, no, I can't give it up, otherwise I will always feel uneasy."
"Director Li..."
"Well, Mr. Lu, you say..."
"I'm not saying this, you're the one who has something to say to me..."
"I……"
Lu Yuan looked at Li Qi.
He was not a fool, so he naturally felt the uneasiness in Li Qi's heart.
It's like being uneasy as a primary school student facing his teacher.
Lu Yuan felt a little strange, and even subconsciously looked at the mirror next to him.
I don't look like a vicious monster, I'm quite kind, right? And I look like an honest person, is there any need for you to be so scared?
I'm not a monster, let alone an alien. What are you afraid of?
"Boss Lu, I...how about...I..." Li Qi adjusted his tone slightly and then gritted his teeth: "I'll do it with you."
"Ah?" After seeing Li Qi's determined eyes, Lu Yuan was a little bit unbelievable for a moment.
"Let me come to work in the company!" Li Qi clenched his fists and finally looked up at Lu Yuan.
His eyes were confident.
"You come to work in my company? Come to work here? Are you sure?" Lu Yuan didn't react for a moment.
He never dreamed that this was what Li Qi had been holding back for so long.
"Well, in the past few months I have been reflecting on whether I am suitable for making science fiction films. I am even considering changing my career." Li Qi looked at Lu Yuan and told the truth.
He didn't want to owe anyone any favors, and this was the first time he had unilaterally breached a contract since he started directing movies.
This was not something he could accept.
The six million yuan in liquidated damages he owed Lu Yuan has been bothering him in the past few months.
This is his pimple.
Although Lu Yuan said forget it, he felt that he could not be the kind of person who did not abide by the contract.
A contract is a contract, and if you breach it you must bear the responsibility.
This has always been his principle.
So he was ready to come here today to put an end to it!
In fact, he transferred all the six million to Lu Yuan, preparing to stop working as a director after resolving the knot in his heart.
From now on, I will retire from society, open a five-star hotel and live a good life.
However, Lu Yuan called him when he was about to leave Hengdian.
The content of the call was very simple, which was to ask him to come back and talk.
There was no other embellished language, no other sounds of invitation to awkwardness.
It's that simple.
Then he stopped.
He hesitated.
He was ready to give up, but suddenly a spark of fire rose in his heart, and he found that he couldn't bear to completely give up being a director.
He loves this business.
"You should have a better platform, either Joaquin or Tianyu. You have seen the current situation of our company. We have no money and no people. We are not even as good as the second-tier entertainment companies in China. You will not be able to enjoy any good treatment if you come to our company."
"But Buried Alive and The Wanderer were created here." Li Qi stood up and looked at Lu Yuan. "I can help the crew. If you don't trust me, I can start from the beginning. I can be Director Wei's assistant. I am very familiar with the work in the crew. Although I have shot two not-so-good movies, at least I know a lot of things and can always help."
"Director Wei already has a deputy. He doesn't need one for the time being."
"I see."
Li Qi's mood instantly plummeted after seeing Lu Yuan's serious expression, and his originally excited expression gradually began to turn gloomy.
He sat back in his chair.
Rejected?
Was I rejected just like that?
"Director Li, are you really willing to work with us? I am asking you this question seriously." Lu Yuan was silent for a long time and then looked up at Li Qi.
"Well, yes, I do." After seeing Lu Yuan's inquiring eyes, Li Qi's heart, which had almost died, suddenly rekindled.
"Oh, Director Li, can you wait for a moment?" Lu Yuan nodded and said nothing more.
"Okay." Li Qi didn't know what Lu Yuan was going to do, so he just kept waiting.
He saw Lu Yuan turn on the computer and put on headphones, seeming to be looking at something.
He just sat quietly opposite Lu Yuan and looked at Lu Yuan.
About an hour later, Lu Yuan turned off the computer and found that Li Qi was still waiting, then he gave an apologetic smile.
It seems that he is sincere.
"Director Li, I'm sorry, I was just watching your movie Tentacles."
"Mr. Lu, why are you watching my movie..."
"You want to continue making science fiction films?"
"ah?"
"I remember your dream was to make a science fiction film."
"Yeah, that's right."
"How about this, Director Li, since you are willing to join our company, I personally welcome you very much. I won't tell you anything fancy. I have an idea for a sci-fi movie script in my mind. You can ask Wu Tingting to sign the company's employee contract first. After completing the formalities, you can settle down first. I will show you the script tomorrow morning. If the script is suitable, we can start work."
"Mr. Lu, you... you really, you... you really... you, have an idea?"
Li Qi was stunned!
Lu Yuan wants to write the script for himself?
etc!
Didn’t he just write that movie “Groundhog Day” for Wei Wuji to shoot?
Is it possible that inspiration has come again?
So fast?
"Don't panic. Let's wait until we read the script tomorrow. By the way, just keep the six million. You don't owe me anything." Lu Yuan nodded.
He had indeed just watched "Tentacle" very carefully.
Strictly speaking, this sci-fi film has an okay imagination and the script is not too bad. The only embarrassing thing is that the special effects are a bit shoddy, and many parts are really distracting and awkward.
This awkwardness ruined the entire feel of the film.
Of course, the special effects are an investment issue and it is not Li Qi’s fault. At least there is absolutely no problem with Li Qi’s shooting technique.
If we put the special effects aside, Lu Yuan feels that Li Qi actually has no major problems as a director.
Well, a science fiction film without special effects...
Lu Yuan did have a few in his mind.
When he thought of one of those science fiction films, he suddenly found it very interesting.
He thought it was totally possible to give Li Qi a try.
"Mr. Lu, are you really willing to trust me? Do you think I can shoot it well?" Li Qi looked at Lu Yuan, his nose felt sore at this moment.
He heard trust in Lu Yuan's tone.
"Okay, let's not talk about anything else. Welcome to join our big family."
"Thank you, thank you Mr. Lu, I..."
Li Qi was about to cry.
"Oh, I have a suggestion."
"What do you think? You say..."
"You should shave your beard and stop looking like an artist... The company doesn't need artists."
"Oh! OK!"
…
"I am disgusted by the messy hype on the Internet. In fact, I am really disgusted by it. I can swear!"
"Of course it was wrong for Director Wei Wuji to hit someone. I have already condemned him deeply on Weibo before. However, I think it is wrong for Sun Peng to use this incident to hype up his grievances and over-expend the sympathy of netizens!"
"I am a cultured person. I firmly resist associating with such low-quality people, and I urge all netizens to stay away from such people. I think he is a cancer in our entertainment industry and a disgusting existence!"
"Of course, I am essentially a science fiction fan, a science fiction enthusiast. I like science fiction movies. I have been watching science fiction movies for a long time. I calculated the time and it has been exactly ten years. Ten years of drinking ice cannot cool the blood. Well! I spent ten years of energy and hard work to write a science fiction script. This will be a good script..."
"This time, in order to prove my love for science fiction movies and to prove that China can also make excellent science fiction movies that are not inferior to Hollywood, I have decided! My next movie will be a science fiction movie. The name of this movie is "Alien Era". It is a story about the vast universe and our future. I personally directed, wrote, and invested in this movie!"
After Shen Lianjie sorted out the filing and other information, he immediately and shamelessly posted such an article on Weibo.
Damn it!
Sun Peng almost vomited blood after reading this shameless article!
What a cancer, what is quite disgusting, what is resolutely resisted...
Even if you want to clear your name, is it necessary to belittle me like this?
They're almost degrading me to garbage!
Will drinking ice still not cool your blood for another ten years?
And hard work...
hehe!
Personally participate in investment...
Do you consider one million an investment?
This fucking script was entirely written by him, okay?
How can a person be so shameless!
However, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it. He didn't even dare to post anything online. Even if he invested all his fortune in this movie, he could only use the code name Sun to announce it to the public.
He had no choice.
Who made him be banned by the relevant departments now?
If the relevant authorities knew that this movie was written by him, they would not even approve it.
How can he take revenge if it hasn’t even been approved?
This is very realistic!
The reality made him feel powerless.
So he could only watch Shen Lianjie showing off his script on the Internet without any way to do anything!
At least!
He can declare war on Lu Yuan!
At least there is a chance to win, at least I can prove myself!
And he has already signed a contract with Shen Lianjie. If the movie becomes a big hit, he will get the money he deserves!
Shen Lianjie would not cheat him on this point!
Shen Lianjie is not Zhou Shuai!
When a person decides to go all out, he doesn't care about anything else.
He just wants to win!
Just want to prove myself.
Half an hour later, the number of likes on Shen Lianjie's Weibo exceeded 10,000.
Although Shen Lianjie's influence on Weibo is far inferior to Lu Yuan's, he is at least a celebrity on Weibo. So when this article was published, it immediately received countless likes.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that Shen Lianjie scolded Sun Peng well! At this moment, netizens are already very disgusted with Sun Peng. At this critical moment, Shen Lianjie scolded him like this, which undoubtedly made netizens feel good about him and undoubtedly whitewashed him.
Of course, there is no obvious conflict between Shen Lianjie and Lu Yuan, okay?
And in a sense, Shen Lianjie has always been beaten by Lu Yuan, which makes him a tragic figure that Lu Yuan's fans sympathize with!
Of course, a group of netizens smelled a hint of gunpowder in this Weibo article.
They thought of Lu Yuan’s Weibo.
After Lu Yuan officially announced that he was going to shoot a sci-fi film, Shen Lianjie also followed suit. Does this mean that the two of them are starting to compete? ...
The ring in May this year?
The crowd of onlookers immediately became excited.
Then countless messages asked whether Shen Lianjie was ready to compete with Lu Yuan, and asked how wonderful and powerful the script he had spent ten years working on was.
They said they were looking forward to it.
"Editor Sun, don't worry about it. I can't help it. You know your current fame..."
"I know. I understand."
"Well, Editor Sun, don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly after the movie becomes a hit."
"Thank you Director Shen!"
"Um."
Shen Lianjie was very satisfied when he saw the comments under his Weibo, but after seeing Sun Peng's aggrieved face, he still symbolically comforted Sun Peng with a few words.
After all, he felt that Sun Peng had made a great contribution. If his science fiction movie became a hit, Sun Peng would definitely be a major contributor.
This cannot be erased.
But when Shen Lianjie comforted Sun Peng and looked at Weibo again, he found that there were a lot of messy messages on Weibo...
"Please support my new sci-fi movie Groundhog Day!"
"Director Shen is awesome, Director Shen is mighty, but I think Er Gouzi's Groundhog Day is also very exciting!"
"Director Shen, I like it. Well, guys, you should also go watch Groundhog Day. It's a good movie..."
"Ten years of drinking ice can't cool my blood! Director Shen, you make me so excited. I'm very moved. I've decided to support your "Groundhog Day"!"
"I didn't expect that Director Shen had such a hard time. I'm sorry that I scolded you before. I sincerely apologize for you. I think Groundhog Day should be a good movie..."
"I'm sorry, as a fan of Japanese action movies, I give you a thumbs up. Please support our Er Gouzi's time-based love action movie "Groundhog Day"... This will be a wonderful science fiction love action movie..."
“…”
“…”
Shen Lianjie looked at the Weibo post...
The post below is filled with comments from fans who are commenting on "Groundhog Day" in various ways and with various tactics.
At this moment, he wanted to smash the computer!
What are you doing!
This is my fucking Weibo!
Aren’t you afraid of God’s punishment for advertising like this?
How much money did Lu Yuan give you? Can’t I double it?
Oh my god!
