Chapter 154 Interests and People's Hearts

"If you have time, you can fight ghosts and exercise!" Su Yun dragged his tired body and pushed the door open.

"How was the performance today?" He Pingsi, who was reading in the dormitory, turned around and asked with interest.

During this period, there were always people who challenged Su Yun to a duel in the gym. Su Yun never refused these punching bags that came to her door. Whenever she had time, she would go to the gym to fight with men and women who were much taller and stronger than her. She called it "beating foreigners when I have time"...

Gradually, Su Yun's reputation as a fierce fighter spread much more widely than her good looks, and not only her own school, but also nearby schools knew about this Chinese girl who was particularly good at fighting.

As a result, the rumor that every Chinese is a Kung Fu master became even more incredible. Considering that Su Yun was originally a disciple of Lu Shaolong, who was known as the Kung Fu King, it really makes people sigh that like master, like disciple...

"When I beat them, it's just a matter of moving my fingers." Su Yun shrugged, "Sometimes, even if they use both hands, they still can't win. I'm drunk."

Although her leg skills are indeed better than her fists and feet, the main reason she agreed to use her hands is because foreigners have a strong body odor, which is even worse when they sweat. As the fight goes on, it seems as if the opponent has activated his own biochemical weapons to attack. So Su Yun had to start a fight with a long distance as much as possible, kicking instead of punching if possible, just to prevent the opponent from getting close to her with a strange odor that could cause harm.

However, her increasing reluctance to use her hands has made many opponents more fearful: It seems that Marie Sue is getting stronger and stronger, and she is no longer willing to use her hands when fighting with us...

On what basis!

They both exercise every day, so why did Marie Sue improve so quickly? !

The defeated generals who had been beaten by Su Yun cried out in their hearts to the sky.

However, what these people didn't know was that Su Yun was also speechless about this. She almost cried and complained to He Pingsi: "Do you understand? Many of these people are science and engineering students. When I think that my team will basically be made up of these people in the future... I feel terrible!"

Not to mention St. Clair, most of the talented people in nearby universities are science and engineering majors, and this place is close to Silicon Valley. When Apple and Microsoft develop and need to recruit new people, they will definitely recruit a large number of them from here.

"They are the ones who feel bad, right? After all, the opponent who was once very unwilling to accept it suddenly turned around and became his superior..." He Pingsi smiled and shook his head.

The reason why Su Yun wasted so much time hanging around in the gym, besides exercising, was it not to look for new talents that she liked and bring them in to work for the two companies she invested in?

Thanks to her, she was able to balance study and work, and even enjoyed it.

This made He Pingsi occasionally think about whether to use the assets she had accumulated to invest or start a company to try to start a business.

After all, if I have such an incredible genius by my side and I just follow the routine without making any efforts to innovate and make progress to catch up, I will always feel as if I am being left far behind by the tide of the times.

"Oh, don't expose me!" Su Yun said angrily.

He Pingsi shook her head in an angry and amused manner, then took out the midnight sandwich she had prepared: "Hey, stop talking so much, and eat something to replenish your energy. You are going to CAA again tomorrow, right?"

"Alas, there is no other way. All the companies under my supervision are in the start-up stage, and I have to keep an eye on them from time to time." Su Yun took the sandwich very familiarly and sighed while chewing. "After all, it is not easy for me to show up, so I have to let CAA find more new people to train."

But it is not easy to find quality "newcomers". The most promising Tom is still in high school, and his current age makes it difficult for him to play the leading role. He was able to play the leading role before only because of his movies, and his acting skills are still mediocre. If he were put in front of other directors, they would not consider such a young man with only a face.

As for the others, Bourne also lost because he was too young and his acting skills were not up to par; River had a natural acting talent, but unfortunately he was younger than the previous two, and at most he could play a role as the protagonist's son or someone's childhood, and he was not able to carry the main role.

Although Zhuang Long has both acting skills and good looks, he suffers from his race. Unless it is a special type of movie, even if his supporting role is more eye-catching than the leading actor, he can only be considered the second male lead at best and cannot really be the leading actor.

Ovitz has signed many third-tier to eighteenth-tier artists in recent years. Su Yun has checked their resumes one by one, but she couldn't remember any of their names or photos. Even when she searched in a system connected to various encyclopedias, she only found a few pieces of information at most.

It is certain that these are basically a group of ordinary artists of this era, and they will never become the kind of superstars whose names can become the mark of the times.

However, Ovitz was not discouraged. He continued to ensure the business of his subordinates while making various preparations, quietly waiting for the big fish to be caught.

He also learned from Su Yun's trick of sending postcards to people she knew regularly on holidays in order to maintain relationships, and established a gift office specifically responsible for sending gifts to clients to maintain relationships. Since the establishment of this gift office, Su Yun, who was busy with computer research and development, has become even more hands-off, and handed over her regular postcard sending work to the gift office as a business exercise...

Ovitz didn't think much of it. After all, it was normal for company employees to do business for their bosses. He just thought Su Yun cast a wide net, as most of the people she had worked with were on her gift book.

It's okay if it's superstars like Gregory Peck and Elizabeth Taylor, or popular figures like Alain Delon and Robert De Niro, because you have to spend money to maintain relationships with them; but it's a bit strange that Su Yun also attaches great importance to those unknown kids like Keanu Reeves and Sophie Marceau, who only starred in a movie with Su Yun and played supporting roles in the movie...

However, Su Yun likes to keep young actors for supporting roles. Perhaps this is her plan for the future?

When the ban on her was lifted in the 1980s and she had almost completed her studies, Su Yun's personality meant she would not remain silent.

In this case, whether Su Yun continues to appear in front of the camera or transforms into a behind-the-scenes figure such as director or producer, it is indeed necessary to prepare a small team and crew of her own.

When Ovitz thought of this, he no longer cared about Su Yun's special expense to maintain her gift book, and instead continued to devote himself to his latest goal.

What CAA lacks now is not quantity but quality. No matter how many second- and third-tier celebrities there are, they are not as good as a first-tier or super-first-tier superstar to hold the scene. Therefore, Ovitz set his sights on a lawyer named Gary Hendler.

In the industry, Gary Hendler is one of the best entertainment lawyers. His client list includes famous actors such as Sean Connery and Barbra Streisand, as well as many well-known directors. If CAA can get him, then it may be able to sign a few big names who can rule the field.

But it was a coincidence that the first superstar that Ovitz won through Gary Hendler was Sean Connery, who was at the bottom of his career.

At this time, Sean Connery was about to become a box office poison that everyone in the industry feared because of the failure of several consecutive movies to achieve good results. The last straw that broke the camel's back was the movie "Earth" that Zhao spent a lot of money to invest in...

After its release last year, the film was a box office failure and received great reviews. Not only did Zhao lose all his money, but the name Sean Connery also became synonymous with bad movies - and then, Ovitz "picked it up" again.

When Su Yun heard the news, she just nodded calmly: she didn't mean to make trouble for Zhao or take advantage of Zhao's loopholes, but Sean Connery was not good at choosing scripts, and Zhao invested a lot of money just because of his previous fame and film lineup, so it was a very normal outcome for both parties to fail.

Now that Sean Connery has a gold medal agent like Ovitz who carefully selects scripts for him and will also re-plan his career path based on the current conditions, it will be a long time before he returns to the first-tier ranks... How will Zhao beat her chest and stamp her feet in regret by then? Hadn't she already tried everything when she missed her master Lu Shaolong and her twice?

After all, they were rivals, and Su Yun felt happy when she saw her rival was unhappy.

The business in North America was gradually getting on track. During the winter vacation, Su Yun flew to Japan to check on the business for a while. When the Lunar New Year was approaching, she quickly flew back to Hong Kong to celebrate the New Year.

The New Year of 1980, marking the end of an era and the beginning of a new one, was so lively everywhere.

At the same time, it also heralds the arrival of the most prosperous golden age for Hong Kong.

When Su Yun went to pay New Year's greetings, in addition to telling Lu Shaolong about her academic and work progress during this period, she also told him about her experience of "bullying" many people in school.

Lu Shaolong couldn't help laughing when he heard about this "proud" thing, and he praised her for having the style of himself in his past.

Then he was gently tapped by Master's Wife Renda: "When you still need a cane to walk, don't always think about fighting. You are ruining Mary!"

Su Yun couldn't help laughing, and was also pleased with Lu Shaolong's recovery progress: Master's wife Lian Da said that with the development of medical technology, the original diagnosis that Lu Shaolong could not recover has changed.

The doctor said that if he maintained his current recovery progress, within five years, Lu Shaolong's body would be able to recover to the point where he could practice Kung Fu.

Of course, it's impossible to be as powerful as before, but for performance or short-term sparring practice, there's basically no problem.

"This kung fu movie was finally made after a long wait." Su Yun sighed as he recalled the fact that the half of the movie was not completed as planned.

After visiting Lu Shaolong’s house, Su Yun went to visit Xu Gujie’s house next door.

Because Zou Yunhua signed Chen Xuanlong as the main star in the past two years, and was also distracted by investing in the zombie series; so it is obvious that he is not as interested in the urban comedy of the Xu brothers as before.

At present, there seem to be some signs of internal discord within Jiahe due to the reallocation of resources.

After hearing these things, Su Yun could only sigh helplessly: As expected, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

No matter how close and intimate they once were, in the end, all these feelings had to take a back seat in the face of profit.

Just like she had no choice but to leave Jiahe back then.

When Su Yun returned home with a sigh, she just walked into the small garden and saw two people who should never appear in her home.

Fang Mona, who is now one of the leaders of TBB, and Zhao Liming, the eldest son of Zhao Rifu.

"What's going on?" Su Yun looked at Grandma Su in confusion.

Grandma Su was also a little confused: "They said they came to discuss business with you. They waited for a long time and refused to leave. I was afraid that the paparazzi would notice their car, so I had to let them in."

Su Yun nodded, then calmly looked at Fang Mona, who was obviously the more in charge of the two, and said, "May I ask what brings you here today?"

"We would like to invite you to serve as Zhao's special consultant for film production." Fang Mona did not beat around the bush and directly stated the purpose of her visit.
