"Hello, Mr. Xu..."

"Hello, dear Ms. Sovia..."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, due to some force majeure factors, I will not sign my "Red Dragon" with your company for the time being..."

"What! Ms. Sovia, this... is there something that our company is not doing well enough? Is it because of insufficient money, or is it..."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, that's not what I meant. Everything is fine in your company. It's just because of some personal reasons... I'm sorry, I hope we can find an opportunity to cooperate again next time..."

"Ms. Sovia, we can offer a high price, really, Ms. Sovia, we are very sincere, really!"

"Feel sorry……"

“…”

Early the next morning.

Xu Dongsheng received a call.

When he saw the call from screenwriter Sovia, his emotion immediately changed from anger to excitement.

Even though he had suffered a disastrous defeat in the previous battle, at least he still had room for a comeback!

He takes Sovia's script very seriously!

"Red Dragon" is when he turns things around!

This morning was the signing day for "Red Dragon". He planned that after signing the script contract, the next step would be to prepare for the filming and other details...

As long as the movie does not fail at the box office and is a big hit, the company still has room for recovery!

Wasn’t Lu Yuan notorious in the entertainment industry before?

But will it have any impact on his company?

An entertainment company is primarily focused on producing works!

However, after hearing Sovia's polite refusal on the other end of the phone, Xu Dongsheng was stunned for a moment.

He felt a chill running down his spine.

What's going on!

Is this Sovia...

Why?

He suppressed the bad emotions in his heart and continued to call Sovia.

After the phone rang for a long time, Sovia finally answered it.

"Ms. Sovia, I think we can have a good chat. Really, I think there may be a series of misunderstandings between us... If there is anything we haven't done well, I hope we can make up for it..."

"Mr. Xu, actually, you don't have to call me again...really."

"Ms. Sovia, I want to know the reason. Is it negative news about our company? If it is negative news, I can explain it to you in person. This is just Lu Yuan's malicious slander. Lu Yuan, everyone in our Chinese entertainment industry knows that he likes to play dirty. I am innocent, including the recording, he framed me..."

“……” There was silence on the other end of the phone.

"Ms. Sovia, please believe me, please believe in the future and prospects of our company..."

"Mr. Xu, I like the songs "To Alice" and "Wedding in a Dream", I like the song "THE FOX", I like the movie "A Chinese Odyssey", and at the same time, I just joined the 'American Er Gou Association' last week and officially became a member of the association..."

"????"

"Mr. Xu, I respect you very much. I am a polite person, so I can't say any bad words to you. But... I hope you know that from now on, not only will I not cooperate with you in my "Red Dragon", but we will also not cooperate in my next movie or the next movie. At the same time, if necessary, I will record our conversation... Well, anyway... so that you don't have no evidence when you slander 'Er Gouzi'... Well, I wish you a happy life, goodbye!"

“…”

"boom!"

Xu Dongsheng felt like everything in his head exploded.

He looked into the distance blankly, then subconsciously called Sovia again.

Then, he heard the voice on the other end of the phone, and it was obvious that Sovia had blocked him.

he……

Sit down on the chair.

At the same time, I felt a great chill all over my body, and I could hardly muster any strength left in my body.

anger?

No!

Not anger...

He couldn't get angry at all now.

At this moment, he felt a chill, as if he was being stared at by a demon.

Lu Yuan!

Why is this guy everywhere?

Even the famous Hollywood screenwriter Sovia is a fan of Lu Yuan?

this……

At this time...

There was a knock on the office door.

"Come in……"

"Mr. Xu, Anier's agent just called me and said that she is busy and will not consider cooperation for the time being..."

“…”

"Go down."

"Mr. Xu?"

"Go down!"

“…”

The assistant looked at the pale Xu Dongsheng, and then at the mess of smashed things on the ground...

He left timidly.

"By the way, let... Li Duojun come over."

When he was halfway there, Xu Dongsheng suddenly called him, his eyes bloodshot.

"Mr. Li...he's waiting outside."

"Okay, you go out and let him come in alone."

"yes!"

When the assistant left, Li Duojun walked in with complicated eyes!

"Lee Do-jun!"

"exist……"

"Can I choose to believe in your talent?"

"I..." Li Duojun was silent for a while, then nodded!

"Please revise and think about your previous script. At the same time, I will still invest in you! You, shoot it well!"

"good!"

When Li Duojun saw Xu Dongsheng's appearance, he was shocked.

Full of blood.

Trying hard to suppress the hysterical outburst in your heart.

but……

Deep in his pupils, there was a horrified gambling intent, like a gambler who was willing to risk everything.

Li Duojun knows!

Xu Dongsheng is making his last attempt.

…

early morning.

In the director's office.

Shen Lianjie quietly looked at the headlines in Chaoyang Entertainment News.

When he saw the news in Chaoyang Entertainment News that exposed some of Xu Dongsheng's recordings targeting Lu Yuan and some messy photos, Shen Lianjie's eyes gradually became complicated.

at the same time……

There is an indescribable cool feeling.

He once thought that Lu Yuan was a soft persimmon who could be easily bullied. He even thought that with his own abilities and some help from the company, he could easily suppress Lu Yuan.

pity……

Only after he actually fought with Lu Yuan did he realize what a profound and meticulous person Lu Yuan was.

So meticulous that it's even scary!

What’s scary about Lu Yuan isn’t his talent or his background.

What's scary about him is his mystery, the unknown, and a series of sophisticated calculations and plans!

On weekdays, Lu Yuan treats everyone with a smile, looking like a kind and easy-going guy who is easy to bully.

But this is just his disguise!

Once you think he is easy to bully, when you bully him, he will set a series of traps for you. At the same time, each trap is linked to the other and hard to guard against, until he completely crushes you to the point where you can't breathe, to despair, or even to the point where you can't turn over!

This is Lu Yuan!

Yes!

After two years of contact with Lu Yuan, Shen Lianjie feels that he knows Lu Yuan better than anyone else!

so……

During the few months when Lu Yuan disappeared, Shen Lianjie did not suspect that Lu Yuan had left the entertainment industry because of his disappearance, and he did not even think that Lu Yuan would have problems such as his company going bankrupt.

He only regarded Lu Yuan as a kind of brewing, just like the brewing before the storm comes!

When Li Duojun was domineering and even unbridled in the entertainment industry, Shen Lianjie did not think that Li Duojun would become the next Lu Yuan. Instead, he inexplicably felt a sense of sadness.

after all……

When Lu Yuan officially returns, it will surely cause a huge stir and shock the entire entertainment industry!

In fact...

He guessed it right.

Lu Yuan has really returned, and this time his return has shocked the world...

Then, he realized that if Li Duojun didn't restrain himself, it would be really over!

result……

He guessed it right.

It may be a bit exaggerated to say that he will be ruined, but Li Duojun's reputation will definitely plummet, and Jiang Lun will also suffer as a result...

At this moment, he inexplicably felt distressed for Xu Dongsheng.

"Jiang Lun... maybe it's over. Maybe he won't make it to the New Year this year."

"Ah? Why do you say that?"

"I clearly felt the hostility of Lu Yuan's return this time, and with Lu Yuan's vengeful character, Li Duojun has openly spoken out in public many times. Do you think Lu Yuan will let him go? The Chaoyang Entertainment News is slandering Lu Yuan every day. Don't you think this is his plan?" After smoking, Shen Lianjie silently looked at his new script, shook his head and sighed, as if he had foreseen the ending.

"Director Shen, you said Chaoyang Entertainment News..."

"'Chaoyang Entertainment News' is 100% a company acquired by Lu Yuan himself. Even those who slandered Lu Yuan and scolded Lu Yuan before were all instigated by Lu Yuan. I am even 100% sure that Lu Yuan instructed Fatty Wei and Wang Hao to beat Li Duojun in front of the camera! Traps are set everywhere, and if I want to exaggerate a little, Lu Yuan might have already counted us in the chessboard..." Shen Lianjie put down the script and rubbed his tired head, his voice revealing helplessness and fear.

"This...if this is true, it would be too scary..." Xiao Zhang felt inexplicably creepy.

"Haha, I'm glad you understand. Lu Yuan is just a smiling tiger. Be careful when you meet him next time..."

"I see. By the way, Director Shen, should we promote our new movie..."

“We still have to promote it, but it shouldn’t contain any provocative content. We just need to do our own thing. After these two years of ups and downs, I’ve come to understand that a movie’s box office still depends on the quality of the movie itself… Good quality may not necessarily make it a big hit, but at least it won’t be too bad.” Shen Lianjie picked up the script again and began to read it.

It’s not just Lu Yuan’s team that has grown in the past two years.

Even he gradually grew up under Lu Yuan's beating.

"Dream Travelers" was a watershed that made him understand the meaning of film itself.

Although I resented and feared Lu Yuan, and even though I had a bit of persecution fantasy and depression and insomnia, in the end, I was still not strong enough...

This moment...

The sun shines on Shen Lianjie's face.

The sunrise is beautiful.

Shen Lianjie suddenly felt very warm.

Very comfortable.

"Director Shen, I just saw an interesting piece of news. It's just as you expected..."

"What news?"

"Chaoyang Entertainment News is indeed operated by Lu Yuan behind the scenes. He is the legal person behind the scenes! Zhou Shuai's legal person status is just a cover..."

"Haha, this is not surprising..."

"etc!"

"Any more news?"

"Fuck this..."

"What's wrong?"

"Hollywood……"

…

April 8th.

The ups and downs in the entertainment industry make Lu Yuan very upset.

Many things don't go as smoothly as planned.

But overall, Lu Yuan was still very satisfied.

Li Duojun and Xu Dongsheng had no impact on Lu Yuan...

After getting up, Lu Yuan carefully took a look at the script of "The Legend of 1900".

After reading it, Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

The script was fine, and some of the piano music in it could be replaced by other piano music, so we started filming in earnest.

Just at this moment, Zhou Shuai knocked on Lu Yuan's door.

"Ayuan..."

"What?"

"Our newspaper has been completely exposed. I can't be a spy anymore..."

"Exposed?"

"Yes, someone leaked the news about the newspaper's legal representative... The evidence is irrefutable..."

“…”

Lu Yuan was silent.

Once many things are put on the table, nothing can be done secretly.

It feels less funny.

But it doesn’t matter, some things will be exposed sooner or later.

"Wait, Ayuan... I just saw another news push. Oh my god, the Huaxin brothers in Hollywood are actually... also yours?" Zhou Shuai was shocked!

"ah?"
