Hollywood.
Lu Yuan got off the plane.
There were no reporters, no fans, only Forrest, the person who picked him up at the airport.
Maybe in other parts of the United States, you can see news about Lu Yuan in newspapers, but in Hollywood, Lu Yuan was still briefly "banned"!
The sunlight shone on Lu Yuan's face, but Lu Yuan did not feel uncomfortable. Instead, he felt very comfortable.
Looking at the bustling city of Los Angeles in the distance.
A smile appeared on Lu Yuan's lips.
He straightened his clothes and felt like everything was a new starting point.
Zhou Shuai also came to Hollywood with Lu Yuan.
Zhou Shuai temporarily handed over some of China's affairs to his younger brother Liu Bin. Liu Bin learned very quickly, and after following him for just half a year, he basically knew everything he needed to know. At the same time, he had a very strong talent for journalism.
Um……
At least in terms of the ability to search for resources for secret photography and make up stories based on pictures, he is not much inferior to Zhou Shuai.
The only thing lacking now is that his face is still relatively fresh and he is not as shameless as Zhou Shuai.
Yes!
If he could be as shameless as Zhou Shuai, he would definitely be successful in the paparazzi business.
In the car, Forrest looked from time to time at Zhou Shuai, who was sitting in the back in a suit and looked like a serious man.
At this moment, Zhou Shuai was sitting very upright, and his eyes looked extremely calm.
From beginning to end, Zhou Shuai didn't say a word to anyone.
A hint of doubt flashed across Forrest's eyes.
He had met Zhou Shuai and knew that he was a reporter. He also knew that Zhou Shuai came to Hollywood this time with a "stubborn mind" to work in entertainment media in Hollywood, a place where the entertainment industry is particularly developed.
This is undoubtedly a warrior.
but……
Why doesn't it feel like that?
Is he really a paparazzi?
That's not right!
Forrest looked up and down, left and right, and he didn't think that Zhou Shuai, who was sitting quietly in the back, was the unrestrained and somewhat coquettish "story-making king" Zhou Shuai described by his boss.
Isn’t this gap too big?
He felt that Zhou Shuai was more like a senior manager in a company than a reporter, and a rather serious senior manager at that.
Such a person...
Is he really the kind of person the boss describes him as?
Lu Yuan is sleeping.
He didn't feel that there was anything wrong, he was just a little tired.
He hasn't gotten his biological clock switched yet, and he lost sleep for half the night last night.
He was sleeping fine, but in the second half of the night, he woke up for no apparent reason.
After waking up and thinking about the recharge system of his "remote" gaming platform, he suddenly felt a little inexplicably ashamed in his heart. Then, as he thought about it, he felt that he had gone a little too far.
In my previous life, I was also cheated by a penguin in this way, and he also cheated me out of a lot of living expenses.
And now, I have the ability to build a gaming platform, and I actually do this myself, this...
Wouldn’t that be unethical?
never mind!
After two months, when my capital is recovered and I am no longer short of money, I will remove the level restrictions of the stand-alone game? Or... give some other welfare compensation?
After all, he is not a ruthless killer like a certain T.
Anyway, he couldn't sleep after thinking about it, and the time he spent in the United States and China was reversed...
In short, my biological clock is not adapting well.
The car was driving steadily on the road.
About half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a company called "Novi".
This is a Hollywood third-tier media platform that the boss recently acquired, which combines newspapers, videos and publicity.
As soon as the car stopped, Forrest heard the sound of the back door opening. Then he saw Zhou Shuai, who had been quiet just now, straightened his clothes and walked out of the car.
The midday sun looks bright.
Bright and comfortable.
The spring noon is a sleepy time and seems very quiet.
Forrest saw Zhou Shuai standing next to the "Novi" company, taking out a mirror to look at himself, and then adjusting his clothes. After seeming to be sure that he was decent and handsome, he looked around again, looking mysterious.
Zhou Shuai seems to be preparing for some formal acquisition ceremony. Is he praying or observing insomnia?
Forrest didn't understand.
Just when he was about to wake up his sleeping boss...
Sudden!
"Hollywood! I came, I saw, I conquered!"
"Hollywood, here I come!"
“…”
Forrest, who had just stood up, was so frightened that he almost couldn't breathe!
Zhou Shuai, who originally looked quiet and mysterious, suddenly threw the mirror to the ground!
He roared suddenly without any warning.
Like a madman, he seemed to vent all the strength in his body.
He roared very loudly, and he shouted twice in a row, each time louder than the last!
"What the hell, what's going on?"
And Lu Yuan...
He was frightened awake, and looked at Zhou Shuai in the distance, shaking all over with his fists clenched, looking extremely excited, as if he had seen a ghost.
This person...
Are you crazy?
still……
Having a seizure?
…
When in China, Lu Yuan didn't feel anything about Zhou Shuai.
Instead, I think Zhou Shuai is very ordinary.
However, after arriving in the United States, Lu Yuan suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with Zhou Shuai's brain.
In other words, it looks like schizophrenia.
The acquisition of "Novi" went quite smoothly. Zhou Shuai looked very serious while discussing some acquisition details with the president of "Novi", old Hank.
Very serious.
After the acquisition was completed and the signing was completed, Zhou Shuai was still normal. He followed Lu Yuan and Forrest to see old Hank off from the company.
The night gradually deepened.
After returning to the company, the two suddenly saw Zhou Shuai, who had been somewhat serious, suddenly burst into laughter.
"Thank you, Ayuan!"
"Ayuan, I'm very excited now."
"I originally thought that I was just an ordinary paparazzi in China and would never make a name for myself in my life..."
"But I never dreamed that one day our company would really open in Hollywood!"
"Ayuan, Hollywood, we have our own territory in Hollywood. In the future, Hollywood will usher in our era!"
“I had a great plan in mind while on the plane!”
"A Yuan, we want to get back everything Hollywood owes us!"
"From now on, Ayuan, you will see my transformation! Don't be surprised no matter what I become in the future!"
"I'll let them know what it means to be insane!"
"Of course, Ayuan, please believe me... We will always be a united front, and we will not let anyone bully us!"
"???"
“…”
“…”
Under the moonlight.
Both Forrest and Lu Yuan left the "Novi" company.
Zhou Shuai is dealing with some handover issues in the company and organizing employee information.
Even after they left, Zhou Shuai's unbridled laughter could still be heard from inside the "Novi" company.
Forrest glanced at Lu Yuan.
He swallowed.
"Boss...this...this person, could it be...this place..." Forrest pointed to his head.
"I don't know." Lu Yuan looked at the "Novi" company with a complicated expression, then shook his head.
"Boss, when he was in China, was he also..."
"It's normal in China, but I don't know why, but in Hollywood... maybe I'm too happy."
Although Lu Yuan said this in his heart.
But I always feel...
Weird.
Zhou Shuai will not...
Are you going crazy all of a sudden?
He remembered what Zhou Shuai had just said.
Why do I feel...
Something is not right?
…
Saw 1 is currently being filmed.
Yes, during filming.
James was very efficient. In just a few days, he gathered a group of actors and started filming in a small vacant lot in the northern suburbs of Los Angeles.
James is a veteran director with a lot of experience in filming, and "Saw 1" is not actually a movie that requires special effects. In short, the filming went quite smoothly, and in less than five days, one eighth of the plot had been shot.
If the filming goes smoothly, "Saw 1" can be completed in about a month and a half.
Of course, James is still not satisfied with his progress. He is always thinking about how to film "Saw" without affecting the plot of the movie itself.
In the evening of April 27th.
When he had just finished filming a movie, a Chinese man with a camera came to the "Saw" crew.
"Hello, Director James."
"Hello, Mr. Zhou Shuai."
James naturally knew this Chinese man. He was a media reporter under Lu Yuan in China.
He was very curious about why Zhou Shuai came to see him at this time.
"Mr. James, I came here today to learn about the situation of Paimeng Company. Could you tell us?"
"The general idea is fine, but Mr. Zhou Shuai, although I have left Paimeng, I cannot tell you some confidential information about Paimeng. After all, I am a person with professional ethics."
"It's okay. Just tell me the general situation. I want to know the structure of Paimeng Company and how many people there are..."
"Um."
“…”
About half an hour later.
"By the way, Mr. James, what do you think of Mr. Allen of Cobia? Is the structure of Cobia similar to that of Paimon?"
"Alan? I don't know this person very well, but..."
“…”
When answering Zhou Shuai's question about Paimon's company, James was still conservative, after all, it was his old club.
Although things were not pleasant afterwards, James still had the professional ethics he should have, so his answer was not very detailed and was a bit ambiguous.
But when answering the question about Columbia, James gave a more detailed answer. Although he didn't know what Zhou Shuai was going to do, he still told Zhou Shuai all the detailed questions.
Another half hour passed.
As night fell, Zhou Shuai left the "Saw" crew with a satisfied smile.
James looked at the Chinese man strangely.
He thought the Chinese man had a strange look in his eyes.
…
"boss……"
"What's wrong?"
"Can I tell you something?"
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Zhou Shuai just asked me for a list of all the Hollywood directors. At first I thought there was nothing wrong with it, so I gave it to him. But now I think about it, I feel like something is not right..."
"Zhou Shuai... is there something wrong?"
"I felt like his smile seemed strange when he left... It looked... Well, it made me a little creepy, like a venomous snake..."
"???"
night.
It's deep.
When Lu Yuan finished checking a series of information about the crew of "The Legend of 1900" and was about to go to bed, his phone rang.
On the other end of the line, Forrest's voice seemed confused.
A venomous snake expression?
Lu Yuan fell into deep thought.
What's wrong?
