It's late at night.

When the moon shone through the window, layers of hazy gauze appeared in the distance.

After listening to the voices of Andorra and what happened in the major crews, Lu Yuan looked out the window calmly.

Fatty Wei sat at the back and looked at Lu Yuan cautiously.

He now stood in the corner like a man who had stirred up a hornet's nest.

He swelled before.

He felt that he could control everything. He calculated everything and made Century Company fall into his trap. He felt that he was invincible and could act recklessly even in Hollywood. These Hollywood companies had no way to deal with him.

He won!

But, in reality, did he really win?

A powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Lu Yuan can indeed dominate the world by himself without any scruples...

But what about "remote"?

"Remote" is not good. It has not even gained a firm foothold in Hollywood. Behind the impressive box office performance, it has actually been a very weak existence from beginning to end. Its influence may be stronger for a while, but in terms of foundation...

It's too insufficient.

If it was before, then there would be no problem at all, but since the end of this lawsuit...

Everything is different now.

"I'm sorry...I..."

Fatty Wei lowered his head.

He hated himself.

Fatty Wei's voice echoed in the office, breaking the sudden silence, but Lu Yuan kept staring out the window.

Andorra, Forres and others looked at Lu Yuan in front of them silently. They had followed Lu Yuan for such a long time and had never encountered such a situation.

The atmosphere in the office was very depressing, so depressing that it made people feel as if they had difficulty breathing.

Everyone knows what will happen next. Everyone knows that although "remote" is unlikely to be of any use, if Hollywood really gets serious, then "remote" will definitely have a hard time.

This is a very cruel reality!

"Mr. Lu, how about... I announce my resignation from 'Remote' and quit being a director... They hate me the most. If I leave, maybe..." Fatty Wei continued to speak in the depressing office as if he had made a decision.

At this moment, he blamed himself extremely and felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

After Fatty Wei finished speaking, Lu Yuan was still looking out the window, and there was no response.

Fatty Wei's heart began to feel even more empty.

"Director Wei..."

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yuan glanced at Fatty Wei.

"exist……"

"We have been so successful that success has blinded us and made us feel that the world is so big and we can go anywhere. Then, pride has blinded our eyes and made us think that we are really great. China is just so-so, and so is Hollywood. Even if we do something excessive, no one can do anything to us..." Lu Yuan looked at Fatty Wei, his expression more serious than ever before, and every word he said was filled with an irresistible flavor.

"Hmm..." Fatty Wei lowered his head.

He didn't dare look Lu Yuan in the eye.

In fact, after coming out of court, he realized that he had made a fatal and even unprecedented mistake.

“However, it is better for us to know the mistakes we made now than to make the same mistakes again when the company reaches a certain size in the future. In fact, this is not a big deal.” Lu Yuan looked around at everyone, and he seemed to be relieved.

In the past...

These "remote" people are really too arrogant. They are so proud of themselves that they even start to look down on others.

This is actually very dangerous.

But now...

In fact, this is not a bad thing, but a good thing.

"Ayuan, what should I do to make up for the mistakes I made before?" Fatty Wei took a deep breath.

"Just make a good job of filming Batman 2. As for actors, there are a lot of them in American film schools... Moreover, in Hollywood, or even in the world, there are countless actors who have been out of date, or have become out of date for some reason, or have been shelved until their contracts expire, are considering changing careers, or have no companies care about them. According to my investigation, there are actually many, many..." Lu Yuan said seriously.

"Then, they..."

"In fact, a good director is much more important than a good actor. Vision is always more important than anything else. As long as there is a suitable script, the right story, and the screening of actors... Although it takes much more energy than before, it won't take long." Lu Yuan smiled. He didn't know why he smiled like that.

But in fact, at this moment, there is indeed an unspeakable confidence in his body. This confidence is deep in his soul. It seems that no matter what difficulties he faces now, he cannot feel despair.

Or has he already accepted this subconsciously?

"American Film Institute?" Andor's eyes lit up slightly.

"right."

"I do know a lot of teachers in the film academy, and they have a good relationship with me. However, if other Hollywood companies really unite to boycott our company, then they may not pay attention to me..." When Andor's eyes dimmed again after thinking of something, "I have thought about this before, and I have contacted a few friends, but they haven't replied to me yet. I suspect that they have really chosen to boycott us."

"Well, even so, I always feel that this matter is not a big deal. Well... everyone, don't be so sad. Why are you like this..." Lu Yuan smiled and said something that made everyone feel confused: "I'll make a phone call first."

"Ah?" Andorra, Forrest and others looked at Lu Yuan curiously as he took out his cell phone, and then silently walked into the inner lounge of the office.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Lu Yuan was going to do.

Just at this moment, Andor's cell phone rang.

"Hello……"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Andorra. I've contacted them through various connections. They are very unwelcome to your 'remote' program. Not to mention the American Film Institute and the University of Southern California, even some small film schools are not welcoming when they hear the word 'remote'. I'm sorry..."

"It's okay. Thank you for your hard work."

"Mr. Andor..."

"You say."

"If you go back to the United States, maybe everything will turn around. Now everyone knows that Hollywood is suppressing you 'remote'. People like Lu Yuan may have nothing to do with it. After all, he is a monster, but you can't..."

"I understand. However, since I have joined this company, I will not leave."

"ah?"

"That's it. Sorry for the trouble."

“…”

After answering the phone call, Andorra had an expression of "as expected".

After hearing Andorra's phone call, Forres and others began to become gloomy.

They seemed to see that the days ahead would be very, very sad.

The atmosphere became extremely depressing again. Everyone could hear their own heartbeats and the suffocating feeling of being unable to breathe, but no one wanted to break this solemn atmosphere.

Everyone understood that this seemed to be a big deal.

A big thing that can almost ruin a company.

About half an hour later, Lu Yuan walked out from the inner room with a smile on his face.

In the moonlight, he looked at those people who were frowning and feeling extremely depressed and shook his head.

"Okay, you guys should smile more, it's really not a big deal."

“…”

"Okay, don't be so depressed. Let me tell you, I have already contacted the University of Southern California and the American Film Institute. Well, I don't know much about these two schools, but I think they should be relatively large film schools in the United States. They welcome us to go there to select roles. At the same time, they are willing to make room for a classroom for Whiplash. At the same time, they can also provide us with a lot of filming equipment. Of course, several teachers from the film school are also willing to come to our crew for auditions. They hope that I can reserve a more important role for them. The salary doesn't matter..."

"????"

"Oh, by the way, they also have many talented artists from the Hollywood circle. They will come for auditions tomorrow..."

"???"

Lu Yuan's voice echoed in everyone's ears.

The originally extremely depressing atmosphere suddenly changed.

It started to become extremely weird.

Andorra was in an incomparable state of confusion. His friend's voice was echoing in his ears at this moment...

When Forrest and others saw Lu Yuan smiling, they all felt creepy.

The boss's expression seemed genuine.

but……

Director Andorra had just received a call from a friend, and because of the depressing atmosphere, everyone could clearly hear the emotions in the voice of Director Andorra's friend.

The mood was extremely heavy, as if it was something that was beyond redemption.

But the boss...

It’s very…

Weird!

"I'll take another call... Hmm? I didn't call from NYU, so why did they call me?"

“…”

"Hello? Ah, hello, hello, Dean Semper..."

“…”

"What? Dean Semper, I didn't mean that. I understand that your school is also very strong. Yes, I understand..."

“…”

"Okay, I promise you, I promise, I can do it, I... Let me calculate the time, how about this, can I do it next week? Lunch next week, yes, lunch on Monday... Oh, you want dinner? Okay, then dinner..."

“…”

"Okay, that's it, I'll definitely come, I'll definitely come, well, I'll just eat casually, don't make it too grand, just something normal will do."

“…”

Lu Yuan hung up the phone in front of everyone.

Then he looked confused.

"That's strange. I haven't called Dean Semper. How did he know that I accepted Dean Kayla's dinner invitation?"

In the office.

Lu Yuan's voice muttering to himself echoed...

Andorra swallowed.

"Boss, what happened?"

"I originally wanted to try to make an appointment with Professor Cindy from the University of Southern California, but Dean Kayla from the University of Southern California was also there, so as we chatted, it turned out that Dean Kayla from the University of Southern California invited me to dinner..."

"???"

"Then, I realized that my dinner might be worth a lot of money... so I tried to call the American Film Institute again, and then..."

"..." After Andor looked at Lu Yuan saying these words seriously, he swallowed inexplicably.

He felt like a fool.

"Wait, my phone is ringing again... No, that's not right. I only called these two colleges. Is my phone really being tapped? This is too scary, isn't it?"

“…”

“…”

…

Early morning.

A headline titled "How much is Mr. Lu Yuan's dinner worth?" appeared in the Hollywood entertainment media.

Then……

All entertainment companies were stunned.
