Allen was pushed directly to the headlines of the Hollywood entertainment industry due to various scandals.
And this push continued for several days in a row.
There are all kinds of messy noises.
Allen was furious, and eventually he sued several of the most vocal media outlets. Only then did the matter calm down a little, and all the various discussions gradually came to an end.
However, this incident had a great impact on Allen. Allen even started wearing a celebrity three-piece suit when traveling. No matter where he was, he was suspicious, fearing that he would be secretly photographed.
"Mr. Allen, congratulations, congratulations on finally becoming a hot gossip star in Hollywood."
"Bliss, don't be too happy too soon."
"No, no, no, Mr. Allen, I'm not happy. Instead, I'm happy for you."
"snort!"
In the Columbia Company, Allen looked at Bliss coldly, then turned and left.
Bliss had a smile on his face from beginning to end, and kept saying some sarcastic words.
Although this time nothing can happen to Allen, nor will it affect Allen's position in the company, but if these messy things happen more, everything will be different.
…
"Annie's scandal, Anie, suspected of having a secret meeting with a close friend, is she preparing for a new movie, or is there something else going on?"
"Douglas, the protagonist of "Beasts 2", is suspected to be diagnosed with depression, and will temporarily leave the crew?"
"Mr. Weiss's new movie, "The Last Days," plagiarizes the bad Chinese movie, "The Last Days?"
“…”
This was the top line on Novartis' Twitter feed this morning.
When Lu Yuan saw that Zhou Shuai continued to extend his evil claws to other Hollywood stars after dealing with Allen, he felt complicated for a moment.
Zhou Shuai’s hot headlines are updated very quickly. Maybe the content is not necessarily explosive, but the title is definitely explosive, fully interpreting the role of an unscrupulous editor who “makes up stories based on pictures”.
However, Lu Yuan didn't know what to say.
The Hollywood entertainment industry must be very exciting.
All kinds of scandals emerge one after another.
There is nothing Hollywood artists can do about it. The whole environment is like this. If you don’t pay attention, there will be a lot of scandals...
They could sue these companies like Allen did, but…
With so many entertainment media outlets "making up stories based on pictures", can you just sue them?
"Novi" media is just one of them.
Although Zhou Shuai's "Novi" has attracted a lot of attention in the past two days and the media's attention has also increased, he is still no match for other big Hollywood companies.
Zhou Shuai’s idea is very simple, that is to stick together.
Anyway, he has already established a connection with Bliss, and has been visiting other media at the same level or slightly lower level in the past two days. He is discussing cooperation and the future with them...
Anyway, Zhou Shuai is thick-skinned. Although he was benched many times and was looked down upon by many media outlets, he never gave up. While continuing to create explosive candid photos, he continued to move around.
Lu Yuan didn't know what would happen to the Hollywood entertainment circle after Zhou Shuai, this beast-like troublemaker, plunged into the circle, but Lu Yuan knew that Zhou Shuai's wonderful life had begun.
As for the future...
Lu Yuan is not a god.
He couldn't predict anything anymore.
…
The pianists arrived one after another.
However, they came very low-key. After arriving in Hollywood, except for some official people, other media were unaware of it.
Naturally, there can be no messy news reports.
noon.
Los Angeles coast.
The sea breeze blew on everyone's cheeks.
A large ship sailed to the shore and stopped. Blown by the sea breeze, the ship seemed to be quite old and seemed to have grown much older.
The name of the ship was the Pearl.
Yes, it's the same name as the Pirates of the Caribbean ship.
On the big ship, a group of people were carrying things in and out. All of them were wearing American clothes from the last century and were rehearsing the opening scene of "The Legend of 1900".
Under the camera, Lu Yuan looked at these people and nodded expressionlessly.
He looks very cool.
but……
His heart was bleeding all the time, and at the same time, he had an indescribable feeling of confusion.
"The Legend of 1900" is not like other low-budget movies.
In fact, Lu Yuan had no way of estimating the cost.
A rough calculation shows that the total investment for "The Legend of 1900" is at least 20 million RMB, and this does not include the investment in the actors' salaries.
Pay...
When thinking of this, Lu Yuan was speechless.
How should these pianists be paid? If Lu Yuan were to pay each pianist according to their appearance fee, he would probably go bankrupt.
The pianists actually don't lack this money. Edward and others came to shoot this movie just to make a friendly guest appearance.
Lu Yuan looked at the contract and found that all the pianists had crossed out the item regarding film remuneration.
In the eyes of pianists, many things like money are too vulgar. What they pursue are extremely elegant things. If it is really linked to money, then everything will change.
Lu Yuan knew this truth, and he didn't think anything of it before. But when these pianists came one after another, Lu Yuan felt embarrassed.
This looks...
Some people get something for nothing.
so……
Is it really okay?
How about giving them some share of the movie?
Lu Yuan stood on the deck, letting the sea breeze blow on his face, with many thoughts in his mind.
However, he finally put aside all the messy thoughts.
Finally, he made the decision.
After making the decision, he slowly walked towards the hotel where the pianists were resting.
But……
Edward: "Mr. Lu Yuan, I think you are insulting me."
“…”
Kennedy: "Mr. Lu Yuan, I don't need a share, I don't need money, I only have one request, that is, I hope you can make up those piano pieces as soon as possible, otherwise, our mood will always be in a depressed stage..."
“…”
Jonathan Conte: "Mr. Lu Yuan, I am not a businessman, I am a pianist, a piano artist. What I pursue is the ultimate art of piano. I hope you can understand this. If you feel uneasy or indebted, I hope you can compose a few more piano pieces. What's more, I want the complete version, not the incomplete one..."
“…”
After leaving the hotel, it was already night.
Lu Yuan's suggestion to give these pianists some share of the movie box office profits was instantly rejected by everyone.
The pianists' reactions made Lu Yuan feel complicated.
It even made Lu Yuan feel a little ashamed to leave the hotel.
Edward was so angry that his face was shaking. He felt that Lu Yuan was insulting him and being disrespectful to him.
Each of them showed anger and dissatisfaction.
They felt that some things could not be measured by money at all, and even warned Lu Yuan that if Lu Yuan used money or something to insult them again, they would leave immediately and would never cooperate on anything again!
Lu Yuan was frightened by the attitude of these pianists.
He left as if he had made some serious mistake, apologized repeatedly, and said that he would never say something similar again.
The moonlight shines on this street.
The street seemed a bit cold and lonely.
Lu Yuan's back looks very bleak.
And very cool.
He sighed slightly.
My mood became more complicated and more entangled.
He felt ashamed in front of these pianists of noble character...
Maybe this is the difference between me and them. Maybe I will never be able to reach their level in this lifetime.
Well, since you don’t want a share, there’s nothing I can do.
Actually, I don’t want this...
after……
I will not insult you with money anymore.
Maybe……
I am just such a vulgar person.
He sighed twice in succession.
After being depressed for a while, Lu Yuan returned to the company and lay on the bed upstairs.
Forget it!
I am destined to be such a vulgar person.
Goodbye...
My elegance, my character, my youth, and my pure heart pursuing art...
I……
Wait, why does this feel so good to me?
How could I do this!
Lu Yuan criticized himself and self-examined for a long time, and finally fell asleep peacefully in a self-blaming mood, and then continued to have his vulgar "sweet dream"...
…
the next day.
Lu Yuan was awakened by a loud noise downstairs again.
Forrest's apology once again left Lu Yuan speechless.
What's going on?
Damn it, is someone causing trouble again?
Another gangster?
Lu Yuan hurried downstairs, but when he looked out the window, he saw countless reporters, police cars, and even some official fire trucks surrounding the entrance of his company.
His company was surrounded by layers of traffic!
Lu Yuan was startled.
What's going on!
He felt that he was in big trouble.
Judging from the situation, this is no longer just a few hooligans causing trouble.
Oh shit!
What happened?
He walked down immediately, and then he saw a familiar old man.
Lu Yuan wiped his eyes, he felt that he might have seen it wrong.
Brando?
etc!
Why did Brando come here in such a grand manner, protected by several bodyguards?
"I'm sorry, Mr. Brando, we are not like that..."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Brando..."
"I'm sorry, we were wrong. I feel there must be a reason for this. Please believe us..."
“…”
Forrest bowed and nodded, apologizing continuously like a grandson.
Brando's face turned pale.
After seeing Lu Yuan, Brando suddenly looked at Lu Yuan.
"Lu Yuan, do you look down on us in Spain, or do you look down on me? Do you think I'm dying now, or do you think I'm a waste, or a dead person?"
"ah?"
When Brando's questioning voice was translated into Lu Yuan's ears, Lu Yuan was frightened.
Trash, dead, look down on?
What kind of words are these!
How did I offend this person again?
"Last time, they all came but I didn't. I can accept that because the piano music was indeed a little crazy and I have a bad heart. But why didn't they invite me this time? I'm still alive!"
“…”
…
Life is so helpless.
Sometimes it's full of surprises.
Sometimes it is full of sadness.
Lu Yuan didn't know whether he was happy or sad.
Anyway…
I feel very complicated.
Is there anything this ridiculous?
Of course, Brando's high-profile appearance officially shattered some of Hollywood's claims to ban Lu Yuan.
It seems like it has become a complete joke.
This is a good thing.
Old Jim, who plays the old man in "The Legend of 1900", also has complicated feelings.
I had just prepared everything and was rehearsing the lines for a long time when I was about to start filming...
Suddenly I was told that my role was gone and I had no choice but to go wherever I wanted.
When he heard the news, he wanted to complain. He felt very uncomfortable and angry.
But……
When Forrest handed him the headline newspaper...
He was stunned.
His role was snatched away by world-class pianist Brando.
this……
He could never dream of such a plot in his life.
angry?
He got angry at the chicken...
…
What do you think of Allen's mood?
Oh my God!
How could Alan have the mood to care about other things now?
Now he is suspicious all day long, worried about being secretly photographed...
He found that a media seemed to be targeting him and spread rumors about him every day.
but……
But he couldn't do anything about that media.
