When Lu Yuan set foot on Los Angeles again, he suddenly felt that the night in Los Angeles was very beautiful.

The city with dim lights has a hint of unspeakable mystery. It looks hazy from a distance, as if covered by a veil...

This piece of land gives people a sense of conquest.

He suddenly thought of Zhou Shuai.

He suddenly understood a little bit why Zhou Shuai suddenly became so crazy...

perhaps……

He must really want to have his own place in this land.

This is his ambition.

Of course, this feeling of conquest only appeared in Lu Yuan's mind for a moment and then disappeared.

Speaking of ambition, Lu Yuan actually didn't have any real ambition. He had never thought about conquering Hollywood, let alone doing anything in Hollywood...

but……

Whether it's Fatty Wei or Zhou Shuai, or Forrest, Lu Yihong, and the top powerhouse Liu Cixin, they all have the ambition to play on the world stage.

This ambition was initially only held by Fatty Wei.

but……

Ever since Fatty Wei started to act so self-righteously, the entire "remote" entertainment suddenly expanded inexplicably.

In the end, it was like a virus, affecting everyone.

When Lu Yuan thought of this, he was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

In fact.

He just wanted to make some money at first, but for some reason, as he kept making money, he became completely trapped in it.

It was as if there was an invisible pair of hands constantly pushing Lu Yuan forward, passively changing Lu Yuan, and at the same time, ruthlessly tearing apart Lu Yuan's so-called idea of ​​making some money, getting married, and living a good life.

Sitting in Ford's classic car.

Lu Yuan silently looked at the bustling city in the distance again.

Suddenly sighed.

He suddenly remembered the sunset when he first came into this world that year.

That sunset is so beautiful...

That was his lost youth, that was the end of his innocence, that was him...

Then……

The picture suddenly became distorted.

He recalled the scene where Fatty Wei lifted up his pants, pissed at Shen Lianjie's crew, spitted, and called Shen Lianjie a bastard to vent his anger...

Then this picture...

It's very embarrassing.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

"Nothing... just remembered some past events."

"Oh, the past."

"Um."

"Boss, the Migos Cinema has been almost renovated today and can be put into trial operation tomorrow..."

"Trial run? How do you do a trial run?"

"Well, Miss Irene plans to play some classic old American movies..."

“An old local film?”

"Yeah, besides Saw, are there any new movies in theaters?"

"Not yet... Boss... Most of the big American entertainment companies basically know that this is our own cinema chain, so they are quite resistant to us and have not taken the initiative to seek cooperation with us. At the same time, other American cinema chains are slandering our cinema chain in major forums... To be honest, in terms of reputation..." When he said this, Forrest suddenly fell silent.

"That's all, it's nothing."

"Our reputation has been declining... and public opinion is also not in our favor."

"It seems like we are in a tough situation..."

"Well, so Miss Irene plans to play some old American films when the cinema opens, so that movie fans can experience the cinema's facilities first..."

"This is a good idea, but we can consider the films from China..."

"In China?"

"Well, my Huaxia company has a movie called 'You Are the Apple of My Eye', as well as several well-received movies released at the same time... Of course, we also have the copyrights of several of our own company's movies, such as 'Buried Alive' and 'The Wanderer', which have never been shown overseas." Lu Yuan was silent at first and then suddenly laughed.

Lu Yuan remembered that the movie "Buried" in the original world seemed to have a very good box office in the West. Although it was a low-budget movie, it also exploded with amazing potential. Moreover, the copyright of this world was better than that of the original world. There were not many pirated resources of "Buried" leaked so far...

"Ah, boss, I forgot that you also have your own place in China..." When Forrest heard this, he slapped his head and suddenly became excited.

“Drive carefully!”

"good."

…

When he returned to the company, Lu Yuan saw Zhou Shuai sitting in the company lobby smoking.

In addition to Zhou Shuai, there was also a tall American.

Lu Yuan felt very strange when he saw this middle-aged man wearing a mask and a hat, who looked like a big star.

"Brother Zhou, he is..."

"A Yuan, let me introduce you. He is Bliss, the person in charge of foreign films for Gbia... Mr. Bliss, this is Mr. Lu Yuan. I guess I don't need to introduce him any further."

"Hello, Mr. Lu."

"Bliss? Oh, hello, Mr. Bliss. I've always heard of your name before. Today I finally get to meet you. It's an honor, a great honor..."

"Haha, Mr. Lu knows me?" After seeing that there was no one around, Bliss took off his hat and mask, revealing a handsome face.

He was actually a little shocked when he looked at Lu Yuan.

He had heard that Lu Yuan was very young before, but after actually seeing him, he suddenly felt that Lu Yuan was simply unrealistically young.

This young man who seems to have just graduated from college, is he really Lu Yuan, the powerful figure in China?

After being shocked, he felt a slight sense of unreality.

"I know, of course I know. Let's go inside and talk." Lu Yuan shook hands with Bliss enthusiastically, and then welcomed Bliss into his office.

Actually…

Who is Bliss?

Lu Yuan doesn't know anything.

but……

Lu Yuan has read so many psychology books, how could it be in vain?

Even if they didn't know each other, Lu Yuan pretended to be familiar with them without saying a word.

Lu Yuan's enthusiastic smile and the hint of respect on his face greatly satisfied Bliss's vanity, and her liking for Lu Yuan instantly doubled.

He suddenly remembered what Zhou Shuai had said to him before.

What this means is that once you meet Lu Yuan, you will definitely not hate him...

Bliss thought.

"Come on, Mr. Bliss, try the West Lake Longjing tea from our hometown..." Lu Yuan made a cup of Longjing tea for Bliss, and the smile on his face was always sincere and enthusiastic.

"Okay..." Bliss was slightly dazed after taking a sip of tea, and then took another sip, "Mr. Lu Yuan, why do I feel that this Longjing tea tastes... weird?"

"Is it strange?" Lu Yuan was shocked, then he took a look at the packaging. When he saw that the packaging was not West Lake Youjing or Xihu Longjing, he was also surprised.

The tea I brewed today is not fake tea.

"Hmm...but it smells pretty good. My wife traveled to Hangzhou before...she brought back some West Lake Longjing tea..."

"How much?"

"I don't know, my wife said it's very cheap there."

"Where did you buy it?"

"That one, it seems to be called West Lake Longjing Authentic Tea... The boss said that it seems that a very famous star in China also bought their Longjing tea. Hmm... It seems that he ordered several boxes at once a year ago..."

"..." After hearing the name of this store, Lu Yuan suddenly felt a little dazed. After hearing the number of boxes, Lu Yuan's eyes suddenly became complicated.

Why is there a sense of an original recipe, a familiar taste?

"Are there still people like this?" Bliss shook his head, suddenly feeling a little emotional.

"Oh, don't believe in those so-called authentic Longjing teas in the future. These Longjing teas are all fake. If we want to drink, we should drink the real authentic ones. Mr. Bliss, if you like, I will have someone mail some authentic ones over tomorrow... I have always drunk this flavor... um." Lu Yuan looked at Bliss seriously and said this as if nothing had happened.

“Puff!”

Zhou Shuai suddenly spit out halfway through drinking.

"What's wrong?" Bliss looked at Edward strangely.

"Nothing... nothing... I just choked just now." Zhou Shuai shook his head and then looked at Lu Yuan who had a serious face.

I don’t know why…

He began to think of some past events that he shouldn't have thought about.

That is...

When teleentertainment was first established.

That was when Lu Yuan first became famous at the Venice Film Festival...

Cough, cough.

Anyway, Lu Yuan bought several boxes of cigars from Venice and gave some to Zhou Shuai...

Those cigars.

Cough, cough…

The past is too painful to recall.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu Yuan... By the way, Mr. Lu Yuan, I heard that your cinema chain will be open for trial operation soon, right?"

"yes."

“How do you prepare for the film to be released?”

"Haha, actually... there's not much preparation. I'm just going to show a movie that hasn't been officially released in the U.S. before..."

"You don't seem to be in a very optimistic situation now."

“Well, it’s not very optimistic.”

"Mr. Lu Yuan, are you confident in yourself? Do you think... you can succeed?"

"Confidence? Haha, Mr. Bliss, can I tell you the truth?"

"What truth?" Bliss looked at Lu Yuan.

He found that Lu Yuan remained calm throughout the conversation with him.

but……

But he found that Lu Yuan's eyes were very strange.

It was so strange that he didn't want to look Lu Yuan in the eye, as if Lu Yuan could tell what he was thinking by looking at him like that.

This feeling is not very comfortable.

"I've actually never had much confidence... In fact, I've never thought I could succeed... In fact, I always thought I might fail... After all, who has smooth sailing all the time?" Lu Yuan laughed.

"Huh? Aren't you afraid of failure?" After hearing Lu Yuan's answer, Bliss was suddenly a little surprised.

He seemed to have not expected Lu Yuan to answer like this.

and……

He answered with such a calm attitude, as if he was prepared to fail at any time.

"I'm afraid. Failure will cause me to lose a lot of money. I'm actually a money-hungry person..."

"Do you know what you are about to face?"

"Well... let me correct me, Mr. Bliss, it's not what I am facing, it's what we are going to face..." Lu Yuan looked at Bliss, he was still smiling.

“…” Bliss suddenly stared at Lu Yuan.

Stare silently.

He saw that Lu Yuan was very frank.

There is no other emotion in it, and there is no avoidance.

This moment...

The look that made Bliss uncomfortable was gone too.

About thirty seconds later, Bristol suddenly looked away.

"Mr. Lu Yuan, are you so sure that we can cooperate? Mr. Lu Yuan, you are too confident. You are one of the most confident people I have ever met!" Bliss narrowed his eyes.

Lu Yuan's answer was indeed beyond his expectations.

"Ah? Mr. Bliss... why don't I understand what you are saying? Cooperation? What do we want to cooperate on? We seem to be from two different companies, and... your company doesn't seem to like me very much for the time being..." When Lu Yuan heard this, he was suddenly a little confused.

He originally wanted to pretend to be cool and say that he and Zhou Shuai were a team...

There is no other meaning.

but……

confidence?

Where the hell am I confident?

What am I confident about?

"Don't like you for the time being? Yes, that's a good expression. Our company really doesn't like you, so I should also 'temporarily' dislike you, Mr. Lu Yuan. I'm looking forward to your West Lake Longjing tea. To be honest, I'm also looking forward to your next performance... Chatting with smart people is much better than chatting with idiots." Bliss looked at Lu Yuan's confused and bewildered expression and suddenly laughed, then stood up and shook hands with Lu Yuan.

“???” Lu Yuan didn’t know what was going on, but he also knew that it was not appropriate to say anything else in this situation, so he just laughed foolishly.

Zhou Shuai was also a little confused.

but……

About a minute later, after carefully listening to the conversation between the two.

He suddenly understood.

Then...

When he looked at Lu Yuan, he actually felt a sense of admiration.

…

"Mr. Bliss...what do you think of Mr. Lu Yuan?"

"He is an extremely confident person, but it is undeniable that he has an irresistible personal charm."

"oh?"

"Mr. Zhou Shuai, I feel like you are all weaving a big net together... and then, you are pulling me into this net, right?"

"Haha, yes, Mr. Bliss, although I don't want to admit it, it is true."

"Lu Yuan... this person is a bit scary..."

"No... it's not scary... He is just trying to use his amazing talent to set a stage for us..."

"stage?"

"Yeah, a big stage..."

"hehe."

Bliss closed her eyes.

He thought of the conversation between Lu Yuan and him.

He increasingly felt that this conversation had deeper meaning.

What are we going to face...

And I don’t like it for now…

Bliss felt that these things were a hint in some way.

It implies that the two have been working together from now on.

However, no action or help is needed for the time being.

In the public media, he just needs to dislike Lu Yuan like Allen and the others.

Others...

All we have to do is wait for his "Saw" to be released?
