"Yeah, I know, thank you, I will come back to visit..."
"Make a movie? Yes, we will definitely cooperate in the future. We will definitely cooperate."
"Communicate? Sorry, I'm not here to communicate, I'm just here to take a walk."
"Sorry, I have to go back tonight."
"I'm sorry, I really can't stay another day. There are still a lot of things to deal with in China. I'm sorry..."
"Well... I don't really have anything to do in R, I just came here to play."
"Yes, yes... There is no such thing as international exchange, nor any artistic exchange, really... not..."
"To Japanese movies? Um... I think Japanese action movies... well, Japanese art movies are good."
"Sorry, I have to go..."
sea of bitterness.
Stirring up waves...
In this world...
It is impossible to escape fate...
All right.
never mind.
This moment...
Lu Yuan didn't know how to describe his situation.
In short, within just a few hours, he became the most handsome guy in Tokyo and the focus of everyone's attention.
Countless pedestrians were exclaiming in admiration, and countless cameras and video cameras were placed around him filming. At the same time, there were countless associations, such as the Piano Association, the Art Association, and even countless association leaders that he had never heard of, all rushed over at this moment, wishing to pull Lu Yuan to them...
Of course, some inexplicable entertainment company executives also rushed over, constantly crowding around Lu Yuan, stuffing him with business cards...
This moment...
Lu Yuan felt very tired.
He patiently and politely greeted these associations and entertainment companies one by one, and at the same time accepted their business cards one by one and dealt with them one by one...
Even Lu Yuan couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.
Anyway…
In the evening, when the sun was setting, Lu Yuan's pockets and hands were filled with various business cards, as well as a variety of miscellaneous things.
Lu Yuan felt very complicated.
At the same time, it's very tiring.
At the same time, the questions asked by the Japanese reporters made Lu Yuan speechless, so speechless that he didn't know how to answer.
"Hello...Mr. Lu, may I ask what big news you are here to make?"
"Hello, do you want to enter the entertainment industry in Japan?"
"What do you think of Japan's entertainment industry?"
"Is this your first battle in R country? Are you going to set up a new company in R country in the future?"
“…”
Big news?
Entering the Japanese entertainment industry?
Lu Yuan had never thought about these things at all.
After facing so many questions from these reporters, Lu Yuan finally held back what was really on his mind.
after all……
Will you believe what he says?
After finally dealing with these people, when Lu Yuan was about to leave, he suddenly found that a group of people in the crowd suddenly started quarreling.
Lu Yuan couldn't understand what they were arguing about.
After asking Kuraki Lingzi next to him, Lu Yuan's face instantly turned red, and he felt an indescribable speechless feeling.
turn out to be……
They all wanted to invite Lu Yuan to have dinner with them.
But……
There is only one person like Lu Yuan. The fact that things are valuable because they are scarce is true in any country and any era.
Many times, if it was private, then it would be fine to take a step back, but now they are in the public media!
Public media!
Many times it represents something.
Who is Lu Yuan?
Internationally renowned pianist, artist, director, poet, screenwriter, composer...
The messy titles and works are very misleading.
They are all well-known figures. Which association or company Lu Yuan went to for his last dinner indirectly shows the influence and reputation of this company in Japan.
Who will definitely give in at this time?
So, inexplicably, they suddenly started arguing over this issue, and it seemed like a very fierce argument. Although they didn't get to the point of physical contact, they still got red in the face and angry.
Lu Yuan, who was in the crowd, gave a bitter smile.
"Sorry, everyone... I'll just have a simple dinner. I have a flight tonight and will be back to China tomorrow. Thank you for your kindness. Sorry..."
“…”
“…”
In the evening, a gust of wind blew on Lu Yuan's face.
After Lu Yuan said this, he prepared to get in the car and go back under the escort of his fans.
But……
When he turned around, dozens of police cars suddenly appeared in the distance.
After seeing the police car, Lu Yuan felt embarrassed.
…
Taiwan Island.
Although it is early summer now, the Taiwan branch has experienced an unprecedented chill due to the box office and reputation failure of the movie "Fortress".
The box office performance of "City Fortress" is really too impressive.
It was so fierce that Chen Jianfeng was completely shocked.
Then……
He felt like he was finished.
In the conference room.
Sammul Chan silently looked at everyone with complicated expressions.
He forced a smile and wanted to say something, but at this moment he suddenly found that he couldn't say anything.
He was embarrassed.
He knew this might be the last time he would stand at this podium and speak to this man.
The headquarters' meaning is very clear.
The film cost nearly 300 million RMB to invest, but the box office revenue so far is only less than 70 million RMB. If the total overseas box office revenue is added together, it is expected to just exceed 100 million RMB...
Of course, this is also under ideal conditions, but everyone knows that the probability of this ideal state is too low.
Anyway…
Joaquin suffered a huge loss from this movie, and compared with the financial loss, the impact on the company's reputation was greater.
The company had already suffered some setbacks last year due to the ticket theft incident, and this year, a lot of negative news from the outside world followed...
Even those bad movies shot by Shen Lianjie, such as "Capital" and "Alien Era", were pulled out by netizens for criticism. Although "Dream Traveler" brought back a good reputation for Joaquin, Joaquin was still labeled as a bad movie company...
All right……
This loss of reputation was really a bonus.
So no matter what happens, the company always has to have a scapegoat.
Who is the scapegoat?
Who else could it be.
Needless to say, Sammul Chan is a complete scapegoat. Even if Sammul Chan wants to clean himself up, he can't.
"Ahem, ahem... Thank you all for your care for me these days. I thought about it, and actually... ahem, it seems like, it's just the first anniversary of the establishment of the company?" Chen Jianfeng looked at everyone, and after holding it in for a long time, he finally uttered these words.
Then……
After he finished speaking he found that this was all becoming even more awkward.
Because what I am about to say may be very confusing.
After all, the headquarters planned to disband the Taiwan branch, and at the same time notified Chen Jianfeng to return to the Huajin headquarters to be a low-level agent and make some job transfers...
You mean going back to headquarters to be a broker? Job transfer?
hehe!
This is a joke!
He has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, how could he not know that Joaquin was hinting at him to get out as soon as possible?
He has been hesitating.
Should I continue to stay in Joaquin or resign?
After considering for a long time, he finally chose to hand in his resignation to Joaquin.
He quit.
In the conference room.
Everyone just looked at them silently, and no one responded to his words.
In fact, many former employees of Baoyue Company had already been dissatisfied with him.
They don't like his approach and some of his decisions.
After looking at the expressions of the crowd, Chen Jianfeng laughed awkwardly again. Only then did he realize that he was a complete loser.
The once powerful image and once powerful decision-making now seem to be just a flash in the pan.
This meeting looked genuinely awkward.
Sammul Chan couldn't stay there any longer.
However, he still announced a decision from the headquarters to everyone.
Announced the dissolution of the Taiwan branch.
Announced that the decision of the Taiwan branch had failed.
Sometimes, heaven and hell really are the difference between a movie.
If "City Fortress" had become popular, let alone 1.5 billion, even if it had made more than 800 million like "Dream Travelers", everything would have been different.
But……
It's just a dream after all.
"Well, goodbye, everyone!"
Chen Jianfeng bowed to everyone, turned around and left the meeting room.
When he left the meeting room, it suddenly became noisy.
"Brother Liu, is it really disbanded?"
"this……"
"What should we do?"
"Ah? What should I do?"
"When Bao Yue disbanded, someone took over our place. Now that Joaquin has announced the disbandment, where can we go?"
"This Chen Jianfeng is such a piece of shit. If he had listened to you and not started that "City Fortress", the company wouldn't be in this situation. I remember that you had a big fight with him because of this, Brother Liu!"
"Yeah, Brother Liu, why do you have to keep silent? We all suggested that we all change jobs together, but this bastard Chen Jianfeng doesn't even treat us as human beings!"
"Yes! I suddenly feel that Xiao Shen was really wise at the time. Now, Xiao Shen has become a hot star in mainland China, and has received many endorsement advertisements. Look at us..."
"Why."
"Brother Liu, can you please say something..."
"Brother Liu, how about we go to Wanxiang?"
“…”
In the conference room, Liu Dong lit a cigarette and looked at everyone.
He closed his eyes.
The former Bao Yue became Joaquin, and although he claimed that his position remained unchanged, he actually became the second in command of the company.
I have no say in the company.
Although this change was speechless, Liu Dong could still accept it. After all, although the team below had undergone changes, the backbone members were still his friends.
He has deep feelings for the team and also for the company.
So he has held on until now.
He felt that as long as they took steady steps, the company would be able to develop and even grow bigger.
However, Chen Jianfeng insisted on his own way and had the final say throughout the entire company. Liu Dong had no say at all.
Then……
The mistake had been made.
"Please give me some time to think about it..."
When he opened his eyes, he felt a little tired.
"Well, Brother Liu, we believe you."
"You go wherever you go!"
"Yes! We followed you."
“…”
Just as the meeting was over and Liu Dong was packing up and preparing to go back, his cell phone rang.
He turned on his cell phone.
When he saw this familiar person, he was stunned.
Then, he answered the phone with a complicated tone.
"Brother Liu... I heard Brother Snake talk about the company's situation..."
"Um……"
"Brother Liu, what are your plans?"
"I... don't know yet. Maybe I'll go to Wanxiang to have a look."
"Brother Liu, let's go out for a drink. Invite Brother Snake and a few other seniors as well... I'm at the company entrance now."
"Ah? Are you alone?"
"I'm with Director Wei."
"Director Wei..."
"Well... Director Wei plans to apply to President Lu today. If possible, we will 'remotely' open a branch in Taiwan... Director Wei was originally scheduled to take a flight this afternoon, but after I told him about our situation, he suddenly changed his flight. He hopes to meet you..."
"Xiao Shen...I..."
"Stop talking. We are all brothers. If you have the opportunity to join the company, you will know what it means that everyone in the company is a relative... I told you that my vision was very accurate at the beginning. I bet right. I hope you can bet right once, too. Besides, our President Lu is eager to recruit talented people."
"Well... I know... But, will Director Wei..."
"Don't worry, Director Wei is easy to talk to."
"Um……"
…
Taiwan Island.
Early morning.
In a small hotel.
"You looking for me?"
"Han Lu, am I in a mess now?"
“A little bit…”
"What are your plans?"
"I... I don't know." Han Lu shook his head, his expression complicated and with a hint of alienation.
Yes.
When Chen Jianfeng was in power, he was awesome and Han Lu was respectful, but...
He is now totally unworthy of Han Lu's respect.
Although the eldest brother didn't say anything about the second brother, both of them suffered from the movie.
But at least...
Han Lu is still an artist of the company.
And Sammul Chan...
He is nothing now.
future……
He will just be a loser.
"I have a feeling that we're going to be on the headlines soon. Haha, I didn't expect that the only time I'll be on the headlines would be like this. It's ridiculous... What will the headlines say? The loser Sammul Chan resigns and is the culprit for the disbanding of the Joaquin branch?" Sammul Chan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Han Lu was silent for a while and his eyes became more complicated, but he still did not respond to Chen Jianfeng's words.
"What's wrong? Are you looking down on me now? You won't even say a word to me?"
"No...but I think you are wrong..."
"What's wrong?"
“You don’t make the headlines… and you don’t make any waves on the pages of major media outlets.”
"Ah? Could it be that the headquarters intends to block this news? That's right, after all, this is a scandal..."
"No, look at the early morning, it's also the headline right now."
"Uh-huh?"
When Sammul Chan saw the first few news headlines about the entertainment industry, he was stunned.
"Shocked! Something big has happened! Lu Yuan has gone to R country!"
"Lu Yuan's trip to Japan caused a huge sensation!"
"Lu Yuan caused a part of Tokyo's traffic to be paralyzed..."
"People from all walks of life in R Japan are arguing in public. The reason is..."
"Shocked! A police car is taking Lu Yuan to the airport..."
"Lu Yuan is suspected of taking on a new Japanese film?"
“…”
Sammul Chan didn't know what to say for a moment.
etc!
This person...
Why did you go to R to cause trouble?
When did it happen?
Han Lu looked at Chen Jianfeng's surprised expression.
"Now, you understand what it means that you can't cause any waves, right? With that person here, not only will you not cause any waves, even the dissolution of the company won't cause any waves. You may have hated him before, but now, you may have to thank him..."
“…”
Sammul Chan remained silent.
This is a good thing.
But I don’t know why…
His mood suddenly became worse.
He suddenly felt like crying.
seem……
The last stubbornness...
Taken away by Lu Yuan?
