In August, Chinese films were ultimately unable to withstand the ravages of Hollywood films. Except for two films, "Blood War 3" and "Alien", the rest of the Chinese film industry was completely wiped out.

Shen Lianjie became extremely depressed after silently watching his movie "Warframe" which was withdrawn prematurely after only ten days of release.

"Warframe" is a movie with a very large investment, and it is the only big-budget movie directed independently by Shen Lianjie. Although the script does not look very good to Shen Lianjie, and most of the investment money was spent on the actors' salaries, Shen Lianjie still holds out some hope.

He took the photo very seriously.

At least……

I can always get some money back, right?

but……

The box office of "Warframe" is really not good. Except for the acceptable box office on the first day, it has been spent in the following days with criticism and falling box office. Many media even regard Shen Lianjie as the "king of bad movies", "bad movie director" and "trash movie maker" in the whole of China...

Return on investment?

How can I get my money back?

Although Shen Lianjie is no longer on Joaquin's side, and this movie is not a script that Shen Lianjie is willing to accept, this situation is not his problem, and the performance of this movie will not affect his income, but the discomfort in his heart is incomparable, and the sense of frustration is even stronger than when he was crushed by Fatty Wei before.

After all, there is no harm without comparison!

Why did he lose?

Lost like this?

He made his movie debut a full year earlier than Fatty Wei!

When he had already made a name for himself in the director circle, made a movie that was quite popular, and was named the most talented young emerging Chinese director, Fatty Wei was still hanging around in Hengdian, without any representative works.

But what about now?

Fatty Wei is already the best director in China, comparable to great directors like Li Mingrui!

Not only did his box office and reputation soar, he even became one of the few billion-dollar directors in China, and was praised and praised by all media, and became famous both at home and abroad...

And him?

He tragically flopped another movie!

After many flops, he was finally called a "bad movie director" in the film industry.

The gap is so huge, it's completely like heaven and earth.

How can you make him accept this?

Shen Lianjie sighed quietly and watched the edited film of "Superman" in silence.

At this moment, he who was full of confidence suddenly became discouraged.

Although the script was good, and all other factors and the invested special effects were first-rate, Shen Lianjie still lacked confidence.

This feeling is just like the feeling of rock king Chen Feng trying every possible way to hit the headlines in the entertainment industry, but ultimately failing.

He feels the same way!

He even thought that if "Superman" failed again, should he really consider changing his career?

director?

Maybe it's really not suitable for him anymore.

…

Hollywood is the winner again.

Although China has made a lot of progress, it is still a loser.

Of course, although the Chinese film industry in August was once again facing the situation of being ravaged by Hollywood, with Shen Lianjie being scolded and Jax's cheating behavior causing Hollywood movies to explode in popularity in all aspects, the headlines in the entertainment industry were dominated by another piece of news from far away Austria.

Even the news broadcast reported this news.

That message is simple.

That is, the decision to hold a world-class concert in Vienna, originally planned for August 15, has been postponed.

As for how many days of postponement?

There are only four words: further notice!

There are two options for tickets. One option is to refund the tickets by presenting your ID card at any sales outlet worldwide. The other option is to reschedule the tickets to a confirmed date for the legendary concert.

In fact, when the Austrian government announced the news, not only everyone in China was shocked, but everyone around the world was shocked.

Why?

What does this concert in Vienna represent?

It represents authority, represents the highest temple of music art in the world, and represents an unparalleled great existence that is worthy of being recorded in the history of music.

Such a concert would never be cancelled unless there was a war or unavoidable natural or man-made disasters. And, if we are really serious, such a thing has never happened in the entire history of Vienna!

But this time, it was suddenly announced to be postponed, and the date is still uncertain?

What's going on?

Just when everyone was shocked, they heard news from Austria.

Lu Yuan was filled with inspiration and composed another piece of music. This piece of music attracted all the musicians present in Vienna to help.

After hearing the news, everyone went from being shocked to being incredulous, and then from being incredulous to being complicated and relieved.

Still the familiar recipe, original taste.

Wherever Ergou goes, things get postponed. Now even a place like Vienna has been infected by Ergou's procrastination virus?

…

Am I going to die?

Brando, lying on the bed, struggled for a moment, then asked himself this question.

Then...

No one answered him.

Lu Yuan's attitude in the morning made the old man so angry that he couldn't breathe. He wanted to argue with Lu Yuan stubbornly, thinking that Lu Yuan didn't respect him and looked down on him. He even wanted to severely denounce the entire piano circle for excluding him. But before he could say a few words, he fainted on the spot due to exhaustion.

When he fainted, he heard Lu Yuan's nervous shouting and the footsteps of medical staff...

The medical staff carried him to the rest room nearby and performed various rescue operations. After more than two hours, when he woke up, he looked at the ceiling blankly and finally sighed softly.

He is no longer angry.

Because he realized that he was really dying!

Although he had been rescued, his body functions had deteriorated to an extremely unsatisfactory level and could no longer support him in doing other important things. He couldn't even play a piano piece as calmly as usual.

He is like the setting sun, finally emitting afterglow...

"Why……"

He sighed again.

I wish...

God give me some more time!

…

Wang Jinxue had a very comfortable sleep.

After waking up, I came to the Golden Hall and saw Lu Yuan still busy with everyone.

Lu Yuan's eyes were still bloodshot and his hair looked a little messy, but he was as energetic as before.

Wang Jinxue wanted to say something to remind Lu Yuan, but she swallowed the words back when they reached her lips.

She felt that it would be better not to disturb Lu Yuan at this time.

After looking around in the Golden Hall for a while, she received another call, and then she went to the lounge and saw Brando lying in bed.

Brando had fallen asleep, but he kept mumbling something under his breath.

Wang Jinxue leaned closer to listen.

She heard Brando praying, asking God to give him a few more days.

Wang Jinxue looked at Brando in silence.

My teacher can no longer teach me to play the piano as before, nor can he explain any knowledge about the piano to me.

At this moment, he seemed to be relying on willpower to persevere.

"Ms. Jinxue."

"Um?"

"Mr. Brando's physical condition has almost reached its limit. His organs are aging..."

"Can it be treated well?"

"Ms. Jinxue, we can treat the disease. If it is a heart disease or something like that, maybe we can find a way to prolong it, or even replace it with an artificial heart. These are not a problem. However, this is not a disease, it is life span. Miss Jinxue, do you understand?"

"I understand. How long can he hold on?"

"I don't know either, because Mr. Brando's ability to live until now, and even his previous movement down the road, is an impossible miracle in the eyes of all of us. He shouldn't have gone there in the morning. If he had stayed and rested well, he might have lived longer."

“…”

The doctor carefully took Wang Jinxue aside and told her about Brando's physical condition in a very sad voice.

After listening to this, Wang Jinxue felt very uncomfortable, but she didn't know what to say for a moment.

She subconsciously looked in Lu Yuan's direction...

Wang Jinxue, who had never believed in God and did not believe in the existence of God, actually began to pray at this moment.

hope……

Give this old man some more time!

Just a little bit, that's enough!

…

August 14th.

The day passed quickly.

August 15th was originally the time for a world-class concert, but at this moment it has become a rehearsal time.

What was being rehearsed was not "Symphony No. 5" but "The Blue Danube".

In addition to the world's top ten pianists, some of the world's top musicians also came one after another.

They were originally the audience, but now the first thing they did when they came to Vienna was to spontaneously help Lu Yuan organize the score of "The Blue Danube" and help do what they could.

This is an extremely rare situation in the entire history of music.

Documentary director Paco's whole body was shaking when he looked at the camera.

In the Golden Hall, internationally renowned musicians were busy coming in and out, and Lu Yuan was walking among them, going up to the podium from time to time, and conducting the performance again and again with all the people in the orchestra.

Fail, continue, fail again, continue...

I don’t know how many times this has happened in one day.

However, no one present felt tired, lazy or even complained.

They all cooperated with Lu Yuan in their own ways.

Everyone knew that something great was about to be born, and that Brando would soon die.

Everyone in the international music community hoped that Brando would have a perfect ending, rather than die of illness and leave this world with desperate regrets.

This is undoubtedly an extremely cruel thing.

So, this scene appeared.

Paco took a deep breath, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart and the boiling in his blood.

Paco knew that his documentary would cause an unparalleled sensation!

At this moment, everything he sees and everything he experiences is witnessing the birth of history!

After filming this documentary, Paco felt that he could finally retire.

…

For two consecutive days, I spent all day in failure.

On the evening of the third day, which was the 18th, when Lu Yuan finally waved his baton, his blood-red eyes revealing endless light, and announced that "The Blue Danube" was completed, the entire Golden Hall suddenly burst into unparalleled applause and cheers.

On the high platform, Lu Yuan lowered his head and looked at his shaking hands blankly.

Then he took a deep breath.

"Mr. Bena! Let's start tomorrow!"

"What?"

“Let’s start tomorrow!”

"Your Symphony of Fate has not yet..."

"I suddenly realized that none of this mattered. I felt like none of this seemed to matter..."

"ah?"

Bena looked up at Lu Yuan.

He saw that there seemed to be a strange fire in Lu Yuan's eyes.

Every word he said seemed to carry an irresistible flavor.

Bena finally nodded.
