"See? This is Hollywood."

"I came, I saw, I conquered!"

The plane gradually descended...

When Zhou Shuai saw the bustling Hollywood street scene in the distance through the plane window, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved into an arc.

The sun is unusually bright today.

Just like Zhou Shuai’s mood at the moment.

Somehow, he couldn't help but feel a bit of heroism in his heart.

"Brother...will we develop in Hollywood in the future?" Liu Bin felt a little dazed and unreal.

Yes, it feels unreal.

This was his first time in Hollywood, or rather, his first time in the United States.

Just a few days ago, he was still confused about how to run the business in the future and how to find hot spots...

I even considered whether I should go to Tianyu or Huajin to stake out and see if I could find any useful news that I could use to make up stories based on pictures.

But today…

He was actually standing in Hollywood, about to accompany his brother to interview Hollywood's top director James.

All this...

It feels like a dream.

"Although it won't happen now, it will definitely happen in the future. After all, we are the most important link in a brand new empire." The heroic spirit in Zhou Shuai's heart gradually turned into surging, and his mind unconsciously thought of a passage that Fatty Wei said before boarding the plane.

"Welcome to join our empire!"

In fact, this sentence sounds quite childish.

Even though Fatty Wei said it in a tone that was trying to recruit people into his gang, it still sounded so embarrassing.

Zhou Shuai spat at Fatty Wei several times on the phone.

He expressed disdain.

He is almost thirty years old, how could he be moved by such stupid and immature words?

Return the empire?

This isn't some war game.

What a joke.

but……

For some reason, after the plane landed, the only thing that suddenly came to Zhou Shuai's mind was Fatty Wei's words.

At this moment, it is particularly appropriate?

"Empire?" Liu Bin looked at Zhou Shuai.

"You heard wrong."

"Oh, brother, how should we go?"

"Just wait for the bus."

"car?"

"Yes, wait for the car. Someone will come to pick us up personally..."

"Ah? There is such treatment? This is really a great honor for us..."

"It's not that we have a lot of face, it's that Ayuan has a lot of face... He has been linked to all Hollywood directors..."

"Well, Mr. Lu is awesome. By the way... Bro, should we tip the driver? I heard that in America..."

"If you want to give, don't be stingy, give more... After all, we can't embarrass Ayuan."

"clear……"

Liu Bin touched his pocket.

He exchanged a lot of dollars for emergency use.

How much is an appropriate tip?

Ten dollars?

More than ten minutes later, when the two walked out of the airport and arrived at the pick-up area, Zhou Shuai saw a brand new Chevrolet parked in the waiting area.

He compared the Chevrolet's license plate number and knocked on the window.

The car window rolled down slowly.

Liu Bin touched his pocket.

How about twenty dollars?

"Hello, I'm a reporter from China, my name is..."

"Get in the car... I've been waiting for you here for almost half an hour."

"Hmm, huh? You, you are... Director Forrest?"

“…”

When the driver stuck his head out and showed a hint of impatience...

Zhou Shuai was stunned for a moment.

A gust of wind blew.

Zhou Shuai was confused.

As for Liu Bin who was standing next to him, his pupils actually shrank.

Hollywood director Forrest?

this……

Is he the driver who picked us up?

this……

How much tip should I give?

Perhaps because he was too shocked, Liu Bin didn't react at all.

…

Lu Yuan yawned slightly.

He didn't know why he had been feeling particularly sleepy recently, and the closer it got to evening, the sleepier he felt.

The weather in Yinchuan started to become weird. The temperature was hot yesterday, but it suddenly turned cold today.

The weather forecast says it will snow here in half a month.

snow?

Lu Yuan shook his head.

Fortunately, the filming of "A Chinese Odyssey" will be completed in less than half a month. If it is delayed any further, Lu Yuan will become depressed.

Others think that snow is a romantic moment, and some poets may even express their feelings by writing a poem. But for Lu Yuan...

Are you kidding me?

Going out to compose poetry in such a cold day, are you trying to freeze me to death?

How nice it would be to lie in bed?

Well, compared to winter, Lu Yuan still likes summer more.

Summer is so nice, with air conditioning and watermelon...

winter……

Winter is fucked up.

At six o'clock in the evening, after having dinner with the crew, Lu Yuan returned to the office and planned to note down some subsequent details of the shooting of "A Chinese Odyssey" and hand them over to Li Qi to shoot for two days. After all, he would go to participate in the recording of "The Voice of China" tomorrow and had no time to stay in Yinchuan.

Just when Lu Yuan sat down and hadn't even had a sip of water, Wu Tingting knocked on the door and walked in.

"Mr. Lu..."

"What's wrong?"

"Mr. Zhong Zhen is here."

"Mr. Zhong Zhen? Which Mr. Zhong Zhen?"

"It's Mr. Zhong Zhen, the person in charge of the "China Voice" program group. I've met him before."

"Uh? What is he doing here at this time?"

"I don't know...but he's already waiting outside the house. Let him in?"

"Um... okay."

Lu Yuan was at a loss.

Why didn't Zhong Zhen go to Shanghai to prepare for the sound, but suddenly came all the way to Yinchuan?

Is something big happening?

Lu Yuan couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. The more he thought about it, the more something seemed wrong.

Two or three minutes later.

"Mr. Lu..."

"Um, Mr. Zhong, you are here, hello, hello..."

"Mr. Lu, filming a movie must be very hard."

"It's not hard, it's not hard, just sit down, sit down..."

"Mr. Lu, please take a seat..."

"Forehead……"

After a brief exchange of greetings, the two sat down.

Sitting down, halfway through the conversation, Lu Yuan finally realized what Zhong Zhen's purpose was...

However, when Lu Yuan understood the purpose, he felt it was ridiculous.

Zhong Zhen came here this time to deliver the contract!

Yes!

In fact, the contract could have been sent by mail, or even signed when Lu Yuan went to the Magic City tomorrow.

After all, it was only less than a day, right?

but……

However, Zhong Zhen came all the way here to deliver the contract.

Is there anything more ridiculous in the world than this?

"Mr. Zhong, you don't have to come all the way..."

"No, no, no, it's necessary. I know that what you, Mr. Lu, value most is sincerity... I think our "Voice of China" program team also values ​​sincerity..." Zhong Zhen looked at Lu Yuan happily, his expression seemed a little silly.

"This is too much trouble for you."

"No trouble, no trouble."

"Okay, by the way, sign here?"

"Well, sign here."

"good."

When Zhong Zhen saw Lu Yuan scan the contract and sign his name after confirming that there was no problem with the contract, Zhong Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

He is indeed the planner of the "The Voice" program team.

In fact, given his status in Zhejiang TV, there is no need for him to do this if he just wants to invite a guest.

Actually, it doesn’t matter if you sign the contract one day later…

But Zhong Zhen is a very good person.

He felt that if he wanted to continue cooperating with Lu Yuan in the future, he must first get along with Lu Yuan in the form of making friends.

When making friends, sincerity always comes first.

Therefore, Zhong Zhen felt that it was better to do well than to speak well. He came all the way from Shanghai to here. If he could gain Lu Yuan's sincerity, then it would be a gain no matter what.

Many times these are intangible assets.

And considering Lu Yuan's current status in the entertainment industry, it is indeed worth it for him to do so.

"Mr. Lu...what song are you going to sing?"

"Um...I've been busy filming recently. By the way, what's the song you sing the most on the show?"

“It should be rock and roll.”

"Rock and roll?"

"Well, Mr. Lu, even though we haven't revealed that you will be a guest on The Voice of China, I think everyone will definitely like to listen to your rock music... A song called "Love Until Death" will definitely excite the whole audience." Zhong Zhen looked at Lu Yuan.

Watch very carefully.

When he thought of that song, Zhong Zhen couldn't help but feel crazy.

"Really? I'll change the song..."

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes, and countless songs appeared in his mind.

He found that apart from "Love Until Death", he quite liked another more inspirational song.

"ah?"

…

It’s late at night.

Interview videos covering various aspects of "City Fortress" were posted on Joaquin's official Weibo account.

Once it appeared, this video was reposted by all major media outlets, and the interview video of Han Lu by China Peripheral Entertainment News was posted on all social media platforms, big and small.

Behind the scenes, Joaquin's publicity team naturally tried every possible means to buy countless traffic and found many celebrities in the circle to help hype up "City Fortress".

This moment.

Weibo, Tieba, portal website headlines, major video live streaming platforms, Tomato fan zone...

Countless news about Han Lu and "City Fortress" are raging in the entire entertainment industry.

"Han Lu, a man who is trying hard to get rid of the reputation of being a young handsome guy."

“Han Lu: City Fortress will become my masterpiece. From the beginning to the end, many people have misunderstood me. In fact, I have been working hard!”

"Han Lu: I will use this movie to prove myself. I think that although "The Man from Earth" is a rare classic science fiction film in recent years, "City Fortress" will also become a classic..."

“…”

“…”

In the video, reporter Chen Mingchong, wearing a tie and a suit, interviewed Han Lu very professionally.

Han Lu pushed his glasses, adjusted his hair slightly, and raised his handsome hair a little, looking very confident.

The editor-in-chief's office of China Peripheral Entertainment News.

"Not bad, really good!"

After watching this video, Liu Yong nodded with satisfaction.

The interview was a success.

after all……

Their newspaper interview dominated the headlines!

Headline?

right!

It’s really not easy to make the headlines!

It's incredible!

Why?

During this year, after Lu Yuan suddenly appeared, the headlines every day were filled with various brainwashing news about Lu Yuan.

This headline is almost becoming Lu Yuan’s own home.

Many people tried their best to make the headlines, but were always intercepted by Lu Yuan halfway, weren't they?

Liu Yong looked at the almost exploding popularity on the Internet, as well as the equally exploding popularity of his own Weibo post "China Peripheral Entertainment News".

He suddenly laughed.

Good.

Yes.

Everything is really good...

"Brother-in-law, I'm not worse than Zhou Shuai, right?"

"Haha, why do you want to compete with Zhou Shuai? Zhou Shuai? Haha, now he is just a marginal figure... just like a grasshopper in autumn, unable to jump."

"Yeah, that's true."

"Would you like to have a drink together?"

"Yeah, okay!"

Chen Mingchong laughed.

Liu Yong also laughed.

The two looked at each other and then there was an indescribable tacit understanding.

Just when the two were about to have a drink together to celebrate their success, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open.

"Editor-in-chief, something bad has happened. It's a big accident!" Assistant Xiaoli rushed in in a panic.

"Don't you know how to knock?"

“No, no, no… Editor-in-Chief, I…” Xiaoli panted and looked at the two of them, “Zhou…Zhou…”

"What Zhou? Tell me slowly..."

"Zhou Shuai is in Hollywood... He is live interviewing the famous Hollywood director James!"

"Hmm? What did you say?"

“Look…”

"What!"

After Liu Yong took the tablet from Xiaoli, his eyes widened immediately.
