"I'm sorry, both of you. I really can't spare the time right now. I'm really sorry..."

"Why don't you two stay and have dinner together? I've learned a few new dishes recently and I think my cooking skills are pretty good. Why don't you stay and try them?"

“…”

The sunset dyed half the sky red.

From a distance, it looks quite beautiful.

The sunset is beautiful, but it is near dusk.

Beautiful things are always short-lived.

Lu Yuan sent the two of them out of the "remote" entertainment with an apologetic smile on his face.

After Lu Yuan watched the two people leave quickly one after the other, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

Seven million!

He never even dreamed that he would refuse an appearance fee of seven million.

He even suspected that the person who was sitting here chatting with the two people just now was not himself, or he was hypnotized...

But……

Lu Yuan still refused.

Lu Yuan now wants to be simple and do things well...

As for "The Voice of China" or something like that...

I can still go next year, right?

Lei Hong and Zhong Zhen had smiles on their faces when they were in front of Lu Yuan, but the smiles disappeared after they came out.

The two looked at each other.

There was a hint of unwillingness in the eyes of both of them.

They all failed.

This is seven million in appearance fee!

But I was still rejected.

What is this?

This made both of them feel frustrated at the same time.

They have never suffered such a failure since they started their business.

But they had no choice, after all, Lu Yuan was now the most popular person at the peak of his popularity.

"Mr. Zhong, no one can gain any benefit now, so are you satisfied?" Lei Hong suddenly looked at Zhong Zhen.

He thought of the provocative look on Zhong Zhen's face when he walked into Lu Yuan's company and challenged him directly, and he felt furious.

Just one step away!

Yes!

Originally Lu Yuan had been hesitating and was about to agree to it.

pity……

Zhong Zhen suddenly appeared on the road!

Lu Yuan had a reason for his refusal.

As soon as Zhong Zhen came out, Lu Yuan would definitely reject both of them in order to avoid unnecessary embarrassment between the two families.

So even though Lei Hong offered an appearance fee of seven million, he still refused.

"Haha, Mr. Lei, let's wait and see."

"Okay, let's wait and see!"

The two looked at each other, suddenly laughed, and then got into their respective cars.

Both of them are smart and well-educated people. Naturally, they would not act like shrews and curse like others.

The two cars drove onto the highway together, one in front of the other, and drove off into the distance...

For Zhong Zhen, it was actually good that both of them rejected him. At least Lu Yuan did not lean towards that side. But for Lei Hong, it was very uncomfortable...

It's really unpleasant to have the cooked duck fly away.

He even wanted to beat Zhong Zhen up.

…

The night gradually deepened.

Lu Yuan outlined the general plot of "Brokeback Mountain" and then listed an outline.

This is a very delicate movie. The script is not difficult, but the difficult part is the actual shooting and expressing the content of the movie.

Lu Yuan hesitated for a while, then wrote down some details he remembered under the outline.

Just after Lu Yuan wrote for a while, his cell phone rang.

Lu Yuan looked at the phone...

The caller ID showed Zhong Zhen.

Lu Yuan shook his head, thinking that Zhong Zhen would never give up until he reached the Yellow River...

"Hello?"

"Boss Lu...you have several artists under your company, right? And is Wang Hao also an artist of your company?"

"yes……"

"I would like to invite Wang Hao to participate in our "The Voice of China" as a student. I would like to invite Shen Zhiwei and Wang Long to be guest singers. Mr. Lu, what do you think?"

“Ah… this…”

"Boss Lu... Lei Hong hasn't called yet, right?"

“Not yet…”

"Oh, that's good. Mr. Lu, we won't let Shen Zhiwei and Wang Long down for their appearance fees. At the same time, I think since you chose to let Wang Hao debut, he naturally needs a platform, right? I think our "China Voice" is such a platform..."

"Well, I can't answer you for now. After all, the artists in our company have the right to make their own choices..."

"Okay! Well, I hope you can reply to me soon."

"OK!"

After Lu Yuan hung up the phone, he looked at the time, then was silent for a while, and then called Shen Zhiwei and Wang Long.

The three of them should not be asleep at this time.

Whether it's Shen Zhiwei, Wang Long, or Wang Hao, they basically go to bed in the second half of the night...

Lu Yuan was very clear about all this.

"What? Mr. Lu! Do you mean that I can participate in a stage like "The Voice of China" as a guest singer?" Wang Long was stunned after hearing the phone call, and he suddenly became very excited.

Wang Long is indeed accepting some performances in variety shows these days.

But they are basically small variety shows, and the exposure is really limited.

But "The Voice of China" is different!

Wang Long knows the status of "The Voice of China" in singing programs. The exposure rate is not inferior to the "Crossover Masked Singer" program!

"Yes, get ready. If you're willing to go, I'll talk to Brother Shen..."

"Oh, good! Is Zhiwei going to participate too?"

"yes."

“That’s great.”

Lu Yuan hung up the phone and called Shen Zhiwei.

"Mr. Lu...thank you, I'm willing to participate in this program, very much!" Shen Zhiwei was also very excited.

He stated his wishes directly.

"OK!"

Lu Yuan nodded, then pulled out a phone and called Wang Hao.

"Brother Lu...what! Let me...participate in China's Voice?" Wang Hao ran directly to Lu Yuan's office and looked at Lu Yuan in disbelief.

"Yeah...are you willing?"

"Yes! I absolutely would. I recently wrote three songs and I plan to sing them on the show!"

"OK!"

After seeing Wang Hao’s excitement, Lu Yuan nodded and called Zhong Zhen.

"Phew! That's good..."

"???"

Lu Yuan heard Zhong Zhen on the other end of the phone seem to have breathed a sigh of relief.

This made Lu Yuan feel very strange.

These three are not particularly famous first-tier singers, and Wang Hao is still a newcomer.

What does Zhong Zhen's look of relief mean?

He naturally didn't know that Zhong Zhen had come up with a roundabout way to save the country after Lu Yuan refused.

Although Lu Yuan will not participate in the program, wouldn’t it be better to dig out artists from Lu Yuan’s company to participate in the program and tie “remote” entertainment and “The Voice of China” together?

And even if we dig out the singers under "Remote"...

It’s impossible for Lu Yuan to not take care of the artists under his management in the future, right?

At the same time, this is also a hint of goodwill between Zhejiang TV and Lu Yuan.

What do small entertainment companies worry about most?

nonsense!

What they are most worried about is that their artists have no channels for development!

Although Lu Yuan is at the peak of his career now, his artists are not at the peak of their careers, right?

Lu Yuan can, like Barbarian, carve out a path for himself step by step without relying on the resources of an entertainment company, but it will be difficult for the singers under Lu Yuan, right?

They provide development prospects for artists under Lu Yuan's company, which is undoubtedly a completely profitable cooperation for Lu Yuan.

As long as "The Voice of China" reaches a preliminary cooperation with "Remote" Entertainment, it will be beneficial to everyone in the future and there will be no harm!

If I can think of this roundabout way to save the country, why can't Lei Hong think of it?

So he was so anxious that he called Lu Yuan overnight!

He wanted to get ahead of Lei Hong.

When everything was settled, Zhong Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief.

Comfortable!

Qianzhou.

"Brother Lu... I was wondering, do you have any artists under your company? I thought... what? Brother Lu, you said the artists are gone?"

"What?"

"Really gone?"

"They all went to The Voice of China?"

“…”

After Lei Hong hung up the phone, his smile gradually froze!

Then...

He closed his eyes.

…

Early the next morning, Wang Hao, Shen Zhiwei and Wang Long boarded a plane to the Magic City.

The three of them sat in the first class cabin, which Lu Yuan had only sat in a few times...

Of course, Lu Yuan’s company does not need to pay for these tickets.

Zhong Zhen waved his hand and announced on the phone that any expenses of the three people in Shanghai would be covered by the "China's Voice" program team.

Lu Yuan was very touched!

While he was impressed by the wealth of "The Voice of China", he also felt Zhong Zhen's sincerity from afar.

Lu Yuan still remembers the last conversation between Zhong Zhen and Lu Yuan last night.

"Mr. Lu, I hope we can always be friends and continue to cooperate in a friendly manner..."

"Mr. Zhong, it's a bit awkward to call me Mr. Lu. Just call me Lu Yuan..."

"No, no, no... How can I call you Lu Yuan? That's too strange. I'll just call you Brother Lu... And don't call me Mr. Zhong. I'm not much older than you. If you don't mind, just call me Brother!"

"Okay, Brother Zhong!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Zhong Zhen laughed.

He laughed happily, but at the same time, Xiao Li in the office felt a little creepy.

Of course, he doesn't care about that.

He feels very successful!

Lu Yuan also laughed.

Although he felt that Zhong Zhen was more than twenty years older than him, calling him brother was really shameless, as it made him older for no reason.

But how do you say this?

Lu Yuan feels that he should understand the ways of the world a little better, right?

Zhong Zhenren is indeed a good person, isn’t he?

And considering his sincerity, you should at least give him some face, right?

So I was so happy to call him brother...

In short, the air that night was filled with an evil, unspeakable stench of a corrupt transaction...

…

At the end of July, you are a Leo...

The prelude to August, you are a Leo...

It's August 1st.

In the morning, after dinner, Lu Yuan stretched and yawned...

He looked at the calendar, and when he saw August 1st, this divine song somehow rang in his mind.

He was going to go back to the office to continue working on Brokeback Mountain. However, when he was about to go back to the office, Wang Jinxue came to Lu Yuan...

"Lu Yuan, are you free tonight?"

"At night? What's going on?"

"I want to go see California Nights... but it would be weird to go to the cinema alone to watch a romantic art film like this, so I want to ask you out..."

"In the evening..." Lu Yuan hesitated and observed Wang Jinxue's expression.

He began to ponder and analyze it in his mind.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm free, anytime!" Lu Yuan analyzed for a long time and found that Wang Jinxue's expression was indifferent, her eyes were calm, and her gestures, including her breathing, did not show any irregular changes...

This doesn't seem to be a dating hint in psychology, right?

It seems like I really watched a movie.

Lu Yuan frowned slightly.

According to the psychology of love, the best answer at this time should be to agree.

This is the most correct way to answer.

When thinking of this, Lu Yuan's brows relaxed...

"oh."

Wang Jinxue was stunned.

She didn't know why she felt that Lu Yuan seemed strange...

…

After returning to the office, Lu Yuan dug out a bunch of random books, such as "Psychology", "Psychology of Watching Movies", "Improving Emotional Intelligence", "How to Speak in Public" and so on...

He pondered it carefully.

While I was thinking about it, I somehow came across the book "Introduction to Hypnosis" again...
