Time cannot stay at the same point three years ago.
Just as a person cannot always remain the same.
Under the midnight moonlight, Lu Yuan silently glanced at the small notebook with the words "I will work harder" written on it.
Then he looked towards the distant Yanjing.
The "Remote" Group will be able to officially move in in October. This will be a brand new beginning. By then, whether Lu Yuan is willing or not, the company will recruit a large number of people.
From a shell company to the upcoming "remote" group, it has been a bumpy road and a lot of things have changed.
Lu Yuan once thought that he needed a lot of money, enough to last him a lifetime, and then he would retire from the world amid the hustle and bustle, live a happy life with a wife, children, and travel around.
However, when he was able to get a lot of things by just stretching out his hands, Lu Yuan felt that these were not what he wanted.
Since the beginning of this year, Lu Yuan has been thinking about this problem.
He always wants to do something, to prove something.
Of course, these things are not to be proved to others, but to be proved to oneself.
There were two paths open for Lu Yuan.
One way is to continue to digest all the remaining memories in the mind, and then end at the so-called peak.
The other way is to overcome difficulties and face the risk of failure at any time.
Time travel is the biggest golden finger. Like in some novels, Lu Yuan really does live a very good life with his identity as a time traveler and the knowledge of his original world. However, Lu Yuan does not want to become a time traveler who can only plagiarize but has nothing.
If that's the case, then wouldn't I be just like a puppet?
The great success in all aspects may bring Lu Yuan money, fame, and so-called international status.
However, Lu Yuan always felt a sense of insecurity deep in his heart. This insecurity flowed deep in his blood, and then constantly reminded himself...
What do I have now?
What can I do now?
He asked himself these questions several times, but then found that there was no response.
Fatty Wei left.
He left the office with the script of "Batman 2" and planned to continue to follow Lu Yuan back to Hollywood to prepare for the film tomorrow.
Zhou Shuai took the topic that Lu Yuan brought to him and began to prepare for a wave of big news to suppress the entire Chinese entertainment industry.
Lu Yihong took on an art film "Hawthorn Blossoms and Men" by Chinese art director Li You. It doesn't matter how much the box office is, he is planning to win a Best Actor award in Venice or Berlin with this movie.
Shen Lianjie is sharpening his knife and walking around various public occasions in China, intending to increase his presence and prove that he is also a capable figure in the director circle.
Xu Lu went to the "remote" branch in Taiwan and took on an inspirational youth TV series, intending to make her presence felt in the TV series...
In "remote" entertainment, everyone has their own dreams and does what they want to do.
The atmosphere is very nice.
Lu Yuan then took out the script of "Titanic" and touched his chin.
Finally a smile appeared.
Titanic sets sail!
…
Hollywood.
Dawn of September 3rd.
Batman: Twelve million.
"Wolverine" 9.2 million.
"Superman" 8 million.
"Skull King Kong" 6.3 million.
Arrival...
All right.
"Arrival" 3 million!
After looking at the box office on the second day, Andorra slowly drank a cup of coffee, and his expression was calmer than ever before.
The power of "Batman" was beyond his expectations. However, after watching "Batman", he realized that the success of "Batman" was no accident.
Before, he always thought that Fatty Wei won the Best Director Award in China with the help of Lu Yuan's script and Lu Yuan's various help. Later, he watched "Batman". When he found that after "Batman" experienced the director change storm, the transition part not only did not seem to have any discomfort, but instead had a strong sense of progression, he realized that Fatty Wei's directing ability was very mature, and even not worse than Hollywood's first-line directors!
Andorra did not lose unfairly, and I have no other emotions.
They are all the company's movies, all aiming to build a superhero universe, and all have the same goal...
When thinking about what wonderful movies will appear in the film industry in the future, Andor feels very gratified.
The sun shone through the café window and onto Andorra's hand.
Andorra raised his head as if he sensed something.
Then he saw a middle-aged man wearing a hat walk into the cafe. After looking around carefully, his eyes met Andorra's.
Then...
He seemed to sigh and walked over and sat opposite Andorra.
"You win again!" The middle-aged man took off his hat and looked at Andorra with complicated eyes.
This middle-aged man is Carl.
"Skull and Bones" is not a flop. It not only recouped its investment but also made some money.
But for directors like Carr and Andor, making a buck isn't their goal.
They are after victory.
No matter what the reason is, no matter what happened.
In short, "Skeletal King Kong" is already a failed movie for him, and this feeling is even more difficult for him to accept than the previous disappointing movie "King Kong".
Everyone likes to see jokes, but who wants to become a joke themselves?
There is no doubt that Carl is better than Jackson Jr., the biggest joke in Hollywood, but not much better.
"Am I not always winning and you are always losing? When will you ever beat me?" Andorra looked up and laughed. He felt nothing from the previous victory, but this victory made him feel very happy.
He didn't know why either.
"You asked me to come here today just to mock me?" According to Carl's usual tyrannical character, he was ready to overturn the table without saying a word.
But at this moment, Carl was staring at Andorra. Although he was angry, he suppressed his anger.
"What have you thought about?" Andorra suddenly asked this question.
"What do you think?" Carl frowned.
"Director Wei has invited you and little Jackson, right?" Andor took a sip of coffee slowly, then smiled.
“……” Karl suddenly fell silent.
"You may think that 'remote' is a small pond, but in fact, it is an extremely vast ocean..."
"Andor, we are all adults. Do you think such a childish metaphor can fool me? You think too lowly of my IQ! Besides, among the strongest entertainment companies in Hollywood, why should I take the risk of choosing a growing company?" Carl suddenly laughed, with a bit of disdain in his laugh.
"Do you really think so?" Andor didn't laugh, nor did he feel despised. Instead, he stared at Carl seriously and asked back.
"Isn't it? Even if I want to join this company, this company can't afford the money. I know your ambition of 'remote learning' is good, but what's the use? Empty talk about so-called ideals? What big family? Do you really think I'm a child?" Carl continued to mock.
“……”Andor was silent.
"Why aren't you talking?" Carl was a little surprised when he found Andorre silent after he mocked him.
"Although your voice is full of sarcasm, I can hear that you are worried that you will not get the corresponding attention after coming to 'Far From Home'. After all, the current 'Far From Home' has James, me, and Forrest... These directors are more powerful than you in Hollywood. You are afraid that you will be ignored if you join 'Far From Home'. After all, you have always lost to me. In the eyes of the public, you have always been inferior to me. Now, you are even worse than a Chinese director... You feel like a loser!" Andor's eyes were extremely sharp, as if they could pierce Carl's heart.
"Andorra, you are so arrogant! You think you know everything, but in fact, you know nothing. Andorra, I will beat you. I'm leaving!" Carl clenched his fists, wishing he could beat Andorra hard.
But in the end, he still held back.
Finally, he stood up and turned to leave.
There was no sign of dragging one's feet at all.
After he left, Andor kept staring at Carl's back until Carl left the cafe.
He laughed again.
The angrier Carl appeared, the more it proved how guilty he felt deep down.
…
"Damn it, what does that mean!"
"I'm scared!"
"What am I afraid of!"
"Who are you, Andorra? You know nothing!"
"I'm a loser? How could I be a loser? It's not that I can't beat you, but..."
"The scripts I write are not bad, and the movies I make are not bad. I am much better than you, Andor. At least, I have always been shooting the scripts I wrote! Dreams, your so-called dreams, are a joke to me!"
"Andorra, you idiot, what do you know!"
“…”
Along the way.
Carl kept a silent and nonchalant expression, but after returning home, he finally couldn't help but curse.
Cursing with great anger!
It was as if he wanted to vent all the anger of these years.
“Ding Dong!”
Just as he finished cursing, the doorbell rang.
"who?"
When he opened the door, he suddenly saw two people.
A fat guy wearing a hat and a smile on his face, and a man wearing a mask and sunglasses pulling a suitcase...
"Director Carl, we just came back from China. Since your place is close to the airport, we wanted to come and see you, and we brought some Chinese specialties..." The fat man smiled.
“…”
"Director Carl, good afternoon." The man in sunglasses took off his sunglasses, revealing a silly and sincere expression.
"???"
