The eighth day of the first lunar month.

clear.

The cold winter finally came to an end with a burst of bright sunshine.

From afar, the earth began to add waves of new green.

In Joaquin's office.

Xu Hong looked at Shen Lianjie calmly.

From beginning to end, Shen Lianjie didn't dare to look Xu Hong in the eye, so he kept his head down.

"Warframe will start assembling its crew and filming tomorrow. Any questions?"

"No."

"Oh, that's good."

"Mr. Xu, I..."

"What? Do you have anything to say? Or, do you need any kind of cooperation from me?" Xu Hong looked at Shen Lianjie's hesitant expression and asked again indifferently.

"No. No..." Shen Lianjie trembled his lips and finally shook his head.

He has a lot to say.

but……

But he didn't dare say it.

He didn't have the courage to say it.

Or rather, he was hesitating.

"Warframe" is a huge investment, and it also has a very high level of attention. If it is well made, it will definitely add a strong and wonderful resume to Shen Lianjie's directorial career. At the same time, Xu Hong attaches great importance to this movie and said that if there is any need or any problem, you can find him directly. He also gave Shen Lianjie a certain amount of power so that Shen Lianjie can reasonably use the funds in the crew.

This is undoubtedly a blessing in disguise.

No fool would choose to refuse.

So, Shen Lianjie didn't dare to refuse.

"Then go down."

"good."

Shen Lianjie nodded, turned around and left silently.

Just as Shen Lianjie walked to the door, he stopped.

"Mr. Xu..."

"explain."

"Can I...change the lead actor?"

"You said you want to replace Pablo Son?"

"Well, Mr. Xu, Pablo is in the crew, and I'm afraid I..." Shen Lianjie didn't say anything else.

The movie "Warframe" does indeed have countless resources and countless benefits.

but……

The protagonist Pablo is a thorn in the flesh.

Shen Lianjie talked with Pabotson and found that Pabotson was ambitious and looked down on others from beginning to end.

This is undoubtedly not conducive to filming.

"Do you think I will replace this hot new Hollywood star who is about to enter the Oscars to compete for the Best Actor award?" Xu Hong stared at Shen Lianjie and suddenly asked.

"I understand." Shen Lianjie was silent.

"Director Shen, don't think about these nonsense. You should know what Pablo Schreiber represents! What you need to do is to make a good movie and get me some box office revenue!" Xu Hong said lightly.

"I'll try my best." Shen Lianjie nodded and left the office.

When leaving...

An indescribable feeling of emptiness surged deep in his heart. For the first time, he felt that his future was uncertain.

After Shen Lianjie left, another director named Zhao Hua knocked on Xu Hong's office door.

"Mr. Xu..."

"Oh, it's Director Zhao. Come, Director Zhao, sit down." Xu Hong was still very enthusiastic when facing Zhao Hua.

Zhao Hua is considered one of the top directors in China. When martial arts movies were popular, Zhao Hua won a good reputation in Hollywood with a martial arts movie "Blood Knife".

The special effects in his movies are also very well used. Xu Hong used to like watching Zhao Hua's movies in his spare time.

"Mr. Xu... I've already had someone write the script for Superman. Would you like to take a look?"

"Well, let's take a look."

"good."

Another reason why Xu Hong was so enthusiastic about Zhao Hua was that Zhao Hua did not come here empty-handed this time.

This time he came with the script of "Superman", and it was a script sent from Hollywood.

When Xu Hong finished reading the script of "Superman", he laughed.

He had a feeling that if this script could really be made into a movie, it would definitely be a box office hit!

“This script is great!”

"Thanks!"

"Director Zhao, when are you going to start filming?"

"Funding issues..."

"Director Zhao, don't worry, the investment is the same as that of Warframe!"

"Okay! That's great. In this way, I will have the confidence to impact Hollywood again with this movie!" Zhao Hua was suddenly excited when he heard this!

"By the way, this script is from Hollywood..."

"Oh, it was written by Reese, a screenwriter from Hollywood. Although he is not very famous in Hollywood, the scripts he has written in recent years are quite good. I came across it by chance, and the price of this script is not high. I bought it for 20,000 US dollars!"

"This guy is quite talented in writing scripts. By the way, can we poach him?"

"Here, let me try. He seems to be short of money recently."

"Okay! Thank you for your hard work, Director Zhao. If possible, I hope you can tell him that as long as he can come up with something, money is not a problem."

"good!"

Afterwards, Xu Hong and Zhao Hua chatted about some issues regarding the filming of "Superman" and some other issues. Then Zhao Hua went to get busy, and Xu Hong looked at the tall buildings in the distance with a smile on his face.

as if……

Everything is under control.

future!

The Chinese entertainment industry is in turmoil.

He must be the one stirring up the storm!

but……

He and Zhao Hua never imagined that they were in a corner of Hollywood.

Screenwriter Reese is staring at another comic "Batman" with a crazy expression!

It's like, regardless of everything!

"If I copy one more plot, I'll have enough money for medical treatment!"

"call!"

"God, please give me some time before this Batman movie becomes a big hit!"

"When the time comes, I will take Lisa away from Hollywood and never come back!"

"God, please forgive me! Really, I can't help it!"

“…”

“…”

…

The eighth day of the first lunar month, the twenty-third day of the second lunar month.

Lu Yuan stayed in the office, silently watching Liu and his colleagues working hard in the distance.

The original plan was to launch the internal beta test of World of Warcraft in early March.

There is not much time left for him now.

What's happening with Joaquin or what Xu Hong is planning has nothing to do with him.

He doesn't care about that.

Or rather, he had no time to think about these things at the moment.

The popularity of the fact that he is a father continues.

Although Lu Yuan knew from the popularity of games in various aspects that the game "World of Warcraft" had already gained a certain degree of popularity in the gaming circle, this was completely different from what Lu Yuan had imagined!

If "World of Warcraft" could be as popular as his becoming a father, then Lu Yuan would be able to rest easy.

But in fact there is no...

Then a very ridiculous fact appeared in front of him, that is, Lu Yuan found that he had become his biggest opponent.

He felt complicated.

Heat is a good thing!

But if it cannot be converted into the popularity that Lu Yuan wants, it will be meaningless.

So even if you make the headlines again and become very popular, what’s the point?

These are of no use!

Lu Yuan is always so vulgar, so...

honest.

evening.

Lu Yuan called Maxvis again to confirm the situation on Maxvis' side.

"Mike, what's going on?"

"Lu Yuan! Do I really want to wear these clothes for promotion?"

"Yeah, Mike, don't you find that you look very suitable for this wizard's clothes?"

"Lu Yuan! I've seen your "Magic World"! This is the outfit you wore in your previous "Magic World". I suspect you are wearing the clothes you have worn before!"

"No, this has nothing to do with the clothes in the Wizarding World. Besides, Mike, what kind of person are you? How could I let you wear second-hand clothes? Who are you?"

"Lu Yuan, I always feel that you are lying to me, but I can't find any evidence."

"Mike, I swear in the name of God, I definitely did not lie to you!"

"Okay, let's not use God's name. By the way, are we really going to shoot according to this script?"

"Yes!"

"Lu Yuan, the Oscars are about to start, why don't you come here in advance? You're leaving me here alone, I really feel so embarrassed..."

"It's okay. I think it's great. When the time comes, I will ask my special effects team to let you experience the excitement of World of Warcraft!"

“…”

USA.

The world pop king and world-class dancer Michael Weiss, under the guidance of Fatty Wei, put on a heavy warrior suit and held a long sword. While video chatting with Lu Yuan, he looked at the green cloth around him speechlessly.

He felt cheated!

Last night.

What did Lu Yuan say to me?

Ask him to help shoot an epic promotional video!

It will take you into a magical continent...

In that continent there are elves, dwarves, orcs, giants...

There will be angry, sky-high flames, terrifying lava, and a magnificent history!

The "World of Warcraft" described by Lu Yuan was simply too exciting.

McVis admitted that he was attracted, so he agreed.

However, when he arrived at the "remote" shooting area today, his eyes widened!

The so-called blue and magnificent mountains, rivers, volcanic lava...

This is just a room of about 100 square meters.

Moreover, the room was filled with blinding green...

Yes!

The whole surrounding area was greened.

The greenness made him feel uneasy.

Then, a fat Chinese director came over, received him very warmly, and handed him a set of warrior costume.

After he put it on, he somehow felt like he had seen it somewhere before.

Later, when he saw that there seemed to be a label under the costume that said "Magic World", he instantly wanted to hit someone.

this……

Could it be that these are second-hand prop clothes that Lu Yuan had worn?

He came up with this idea.

However, after video chatting with Lu Yuan, McVis felt that what Lu Yuan said made sense.

after all!

He felt that Lu Yuan would not do such a thing.

Anyway…

Under Lu Yuan's serious expression, Maxvis finally picked up the sword.

Then, at Fatty Wei's suggestion, he silently read the script.

"Azeroth! From today on, I will protect it!"

"Roar, undead!"

"Fight for the Horde!"

"Fight for the Horde!"

"The fire of life will never be extinguished!"

“…”

“…”

After reading these lines.

He actually...

Some sense of shame.

Can you imagine...

Waving a knife, in the green world, roaring so hard?

But he is...

The world's number one king of popularity!
