Early morning.
When everyone was sleeping soundly, an explosive piece of information made the headlines in all major sections of the day.
This news was forwarded by many well-known Weibo users, and major media outlets also made various speculations surrounding this news.
"Joaquin announced that he will spend 200 million yuan to shoot China's first 3D special effects fantasy blockbuster "Dream Traveler". The script of this movie was written by the famous Hollywood screenwriter Sovia, who spent three years and went through many efforts. At the same time, he invited the famous Hollywood actress Catherine to play the leading role in this movie. The leading actor is yet to be determined. It is suspected that he has contacted with domestic film and television celebrities..."
"Shocked! 'Dream Traveler' may become the first special effects fantasy movie co-produced by China and the United States!"
"Why did Joaquin, who has always been low-key, suddenly make this decision? The mysterious new executive vice president may be ambitious!"
"Will 'Dream Traveler' become the highest-grossing Chinese film, reaching 800 million?"
"The director of the big movie is actually Shen Lianjie? Joaquin has so many famous directors, why did he choose Shen Lianjie? Is there any other hidden reason?"
"Shen Lianjie: I apologize for my previous failure, but now, perhaps you will see a brand new me, the indestructible bird called Phoenix. I am back!"
“…”
In an instant, the headlines were filled with news about the movie "Dream Travelers", and at the same time, the news comments on all major pages were filled with netizens' doubts about Shen Lianjie.
Who is Shen Lianjie?
Two years ago, Shen Lianjie was one of China's cutting-edge directors. Many well-known seniors in the circle rated Shen Lianjie as China's most promising rising star director who was capable of taking on major responsibilities. He was highly praised.
Two years ago, Shen Lianjie indeed possessed all the qualities required of a new director. At the same time, his appearance was also one of the best among directors, which also won him a lot of fans.
It is not an exaggeration to describe it as being at its peak.
When everyone thought that Shen Lianjie would work harder and make further achievements to directly become a film director with a profit of over 100 million yuan, or even become a member of the club of directors with a profit of over 100 million yuan, Shen Lianjie suddenly failed as if he had been cursed.
last year!
right!
Since last year's "Capital", Shen Lianjie has been breaking his own box office record at an astonishing speed. Basically, every movie he makes loses money. The pre-production hype was great, but when the box office really started, it was crushed to the point of nothingness, and some movies were even withdrawn early...
What's wrong with this person?
Senior directors were very disappointed in him.
Investors who lost money cursed him through various channels.
Many of Joaquin's top executives also have opinions about him and think he needs to calm down...
Netizens, on the other hand, are quite tolerant of him. At most, they just scold him for the crap he makes and mock him for wanting to be the king of bad movies in China.
In this situation, what should Joaquin do?
What should be done is to leave Shen Lianjie aside for a while.
This is what all entertainment companies do.
But at this time, Joaquin suddenly announced that he would let Shen Lianjie direct a blockbuster film co-produced by China and the United States with an investment of over 200 million?
And they are all top-level resources?
If this isn’t a joke, then what is this?
In an instant, Shen Lianjie was pushed to the forefront, with voices of doubt pouring down like a tide, even suppressing the news about Lu Yuan. For a while, he was the talk of the town!
The next morning, many entertainment TV stations began discussing Shen Lianjie. The three words "Shen Lianjie" dominated the hot headlines on Weibo, and the topic discussion points on major forums continued to refresh their popularity.
Everyone thought that Shen Lianjie had some relationship with Joaquin, the new executive vice president. Was he a distant relative of Shen Lianjie? Did Shen Lianjie have some powerful backing in Joaquin? Some even questioned whether Shen Lianjie was the illegitimate son of Joaquin CEO Li...
In short, suspicious public opinion from all sides continues to bombard the entire Chinese media, and the heat is hyped to the point of explosion.
Even Zhou Shuai posted his opinion on Shen Lianjie's directing of "Dream Traveler" on his Weibo...
Of course, Zhou Shuai was completely shameless. He caught Shen Lianjie and started flattering him without saying a word. He described Shen Lianjie in a novel-like way as a genius who was about to rise after his temporary fall, a future Chinese star, and a legend who was about to rise...
Shen Lianjie was so exaggerated that he looked like the protagonist in a novel, pretending to be awesome and getting slapped in the face...
In short, Zhou Shuai's awkward praise was met with a barrage of curses from the crowd, and everyone was asking whether Zhou Shuai had accepted money from Shen Lianjie.
In fact, Zhou Shuai did take the money.
However, the money received was not from Shen Lianjie, but from the official Joaquin Enterprises.
Although it was not much, just over 20,000 yuan, Zhou Shuai was still very dedicated and took the money to work and increase popularity.
Of course, Zhou Shuai mentioned this to Lu Yuan before taking the money, meaning that Joaquin wanted to bribe him, and he asked Lu Yuan if he could make the money.
Although Zhou Shuai is quite shameless and sometimes even shameless, he still respects Lu Yuan.
He knew who helped him reach his current status...
If it weren't for Lu Yuan, Zhou Shuai would probably still be a paparazzi running around for entertainment news.
Moreover, he and Lu Yuan had a unilateral PY agreement, and the two were considered one, so he still asked Lu Yuan about things that were not good for Lu Yuan.
He thought Lu Yuan would refuse.
However, Lu Yuan did not refuse this matter. Instead, he encouraged Zhou Shuai to accept the money and work for him. At the same time, he also hinted that if there were any jobs that could earn money in the future, he should tell him one day in advance. He also said vaguely that he was about to open another Weibo account, and he would use that account to handle some special matters that were inconvenient for him to deal with in person...
"????"
Zhou Shuai was stunned when he heard this.
etc!
What the hell?
Something special that is inconvenient to deal with?
What's happening?
What is this Lu Manzi thinking about?
What bad idea is he planning?
…
Six o'clock the next morning.
Lu Yuan was awakened by the ringing of the phone. Lu Yuan looked at the phone and saw that it was Wu Tingting calling.
"Boss Lu...something bad has happened, something bad has happened!"
"What's wrong? It's so early in the morning...what happened?"
When Wu Tingting heard the call was connected, she became anxious and her voice sounded a little solemn.
Lu Yuan, who was originally confused, was frightened awake.
Wu Tingting has always been a relatively calm person, and it is rare to hear her speak to me in such an anxious tone.
Lu Yuan first thought that the company was on fire, or that something had happened to one of his artists. He even thought that someone in the company was taking drugs...
"Mr. Lu, the headlines are all about Shen Lianjie. Your popularity has been overshadowed by Shen Lianjie. It seems that Joaquin's sudden attack this time was a trick... How should we fight back?"
"Is this what you mean by bad?"
"Um, Mr. Lu, your headline was snatched away by someone using some trickery. Isn't that a big deal?" Wu Tingting on the other end of the phone became anxious when she heard her boss' speechless attitude.
In her subconscious, the headlines in the entertainment industry were the exclusive property of her own President Lu. Now that the headlines had been snatched away by someone else, this was absolutely a terrible thing for the entire "remote" entertainment!
"Calm down, let me ask you, is this entertainment industry headline from our company?"
"Um... this... but, you have always been on the headlines before... and now Shen Lianjie..."
"If I can make the headlines, why can't others? Who says that the headlines must be mine?"
"Ah?" Wu Tingting was a little confused.
"It's no big deal, just small things..."
"Boss Lu, there is one more thing you need to be mentally prepared for. Zhou Shuai is actually helping Shen Lianjie hype himself up. This..."
"Zhou Shuai called me last night and talked to me about it, and I agreed..."
"Ah?" Wu Tingting had absolutely no idea what to say.
She simply couldn't understand what her own Lu Yuan was thinking.
seem……
Everything is calm?
Could it be that Mr. Lu already had a plan to deal with this?
"Okay, I'll lie down for a while. I still have to go take a road test later..." Lu Yuan stretched lazily.
You can put everything else aside today, the most important thing today is your driver's license test.
After completing the road test, I have accomplished one of the most important things in my life, right?
He needs to sleep a little longer to conserve his energy and pass the test.
As for the headlines?
As long as there are so many fans on Weibo, do you still need this little headline traffic for your own advertising?
"Oh, okay..." Wu Tingting hung up the phone.
Lu Yuan lay down for a while, but for some reason he couldn't fall asleep.
Then he shook his head.
I took out my cell phone and made a call...
"Hey, Dad, is Uncle Liu here?"
…
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
This is what Mr. Xu said to Shen Lianjie.
At first Shen Lianjie didn't understand what this sentence meant.
But after seeing the current headlines, Shen Lianjie understood.
She pushed herself completely out of the picture, creating a controversial topic in public opinion and allowing herself to withstand pressure from all sides.
After all, only when there is controversy will people pay attention and there will be traffic, and Shen Lianjie learned that all the ways to make headlines this time were planned by Mr. Xu.
President Xu gathered them all together in major media outlets. At the same time, numerous scandals, including some messy ones about being related to Joaquin executives or being kept by a certain investor, were also spread by President Xu.
Many factors combined, with the help of the investment explosion in the movie "Dream Travelers", directly pushed the popularity to its peak, comparable to Lu Yuan in his heyday.
Lu Yuan?
Shen Lianjie laughed when he saw that Lu Yuan was no longer on the headlines.
After being suppressed for such a long time and holding back grievances for such a long time, Shen Lianjie finally felt like a liberated serf singing.
although……
He knew that he now had only two options.
Yes, after being bombarded with all kinds of messy gossip, he only has two options!
One way is to rise officially by relying on the box office of the movie "Dream Travelers" to break all doubts, and the other way is to be completely trampled into the ground and become a complete joke.
After all, if I still fail with so many top resources, then...
What a useless future you will have!
The higher you hold the person, the more likely it is that if he loses his balance and falls down, it won’t be a matter of pain or not, but death will occur immediately.
certainly……
He now has absolutely no choice.
If you want to truly beat Lu Yuan, you have to bet everything!
"Yes! The failure of those previous films was just an accident. Now, Chinese films have matured in all aspects. I think I can carry this banner. I am willing to be the first leader to try it out!"
"Yes! I will use the box office to break all doubts!"
"Scandal? Yes, I can make a living with my face, but I will make a living with my ability!"
"Competing with Lu Yuan's A Chinese Odyssey? No, I don't mean that. But if we are lucky enough to have a collision, then I will definitely be the winner. After all, this is a movie co-produced by China and Hollywood!"
“…”
Facing the reporter's answer, Shen Lianjie was completely shameless.
He said that the film was a co-production with Hollywood even though they only invited a Hollywood screenwriter and actress.
He must expand, he must raise the heat to the highest level!
At the same time, he wanted to suppress Lu Yuan, because he felt that with Lu Yuan's personality, Lu Yuan would start to fight back immediately!
Lu Yuan's counterattack just happened to help him hype up a lot of things. If he didn't fight back, Lu Yuan would have lost all his popularity in the headlines this time!
No matter what, the winner is his.
…
The sunset in the evening is beautiful.
Xu Cancan silently looked at the sunset in the distance and smiled.
Sometimes it feels good to exercise your power once in a while.
Her father is the director of Shonan TV, and her mother is one of the major shareholders behind Joaquin.
This is her innate advantage.
She pushed up her glasses.
She bought these glasses newly.
It's not trendy, but it feels good to wear.
Much better than Lu Yuan's.
"Wow, you play the piano so well..."
"Can I touch the piano?"
"Um... My name is Lu Yuan, and you are..."
"ah?"
"I want to play the piano in the future and become a really great person!"
“Can you teach me?”
"Thanks……"
vaguely……
There seemed to be a sound.
She smiled again.
Lu Yuan, let me see how you make the next move. If you don’t, I will slowly eat away at all your headline popularity.
If you fight back...
I have a backup plan!
what would you do?
…
"Director Shen, Director Shen... Congratulations to Director Shen for making another movie..."
"Director Shen, Director Shen... Would you like to consider our nutritional package?"
"Director Shen?"
"Director Shen, don't be like this. I hope you can choose us. Our prices are fair and very favorable."
"We won't provide Lu Yuan with lunch boxes anymore. I've broken up with Lu Yuan's family!"
"Please believe me, Director Shen!"
Liu Jin stood at Huajin's door with a silly smile on his face.
He had been standing there for hours...
It was his first time in Yanjing.
But this did not affect his excitement...
When he saw Shen Lianjie coming out, a smile instantly appeared on his face and he rushed towards Shen Lianjie.
He didn't care even if the security guard stopped him.
