"Director Wang, after all this talk, aren't you going to introduce this lady?"
A middle-aged man next to Director Wang, speaking with a Hong Kong accent, asked.
"Oh dear, it's my fault, it's my fault for not explaining clearly."
"This is Yunzi (stage name), whom everyone has been looking for. She wrote several hit songs, including 'At Least There' and 'Hidden Wings'."
“Yun Zi is also a playwright, and my latest project, ‘Infernal Affairs 1,’ is adapted from her novel.”
Director Wang's words caused a huge stir. This Miss Yunzi is really hard to get an appointment with. Ever since she wrote a hit song, people have been coming in droves to ask her to write songs, but very few have actually gotten the song.
"Hello Ms. Liu, I am Liu Wu from Haiwen Records in Hong Kong. This is my business card. I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate."
"Ms. Liu, I'm from Tomorrow Records..."
"Ms. Liu, I'm from Xinhui Records..."
...
Liu Zi was almost overwhelmed by the crowd, but Li Mu and Director Wang rescued her in the end.
Wealth is a powerful motivator!
Liu Zi's two hit songs made two record companies in Taiwan and Hong Kong a fortune.
Now she's a goldmine in their eyes, and everyone wants to get their hands on her hit songs.
Liu Zi took a deep breath. Although she also wanted to become famous so that her studio could grow bigger, such enthusiasm was still a bit overwhelming.
In the end, Director Wang stepped in and had his assistant accept Liu Zi's business card, and that was the end of it.
Liu Zi had already hidden in the lounge, and Li Mu came with her.
Liu Zi glanced at the other person twice, then coughed lightly twice and said, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Li."
Li Mu scrutinized the woman sitting on the sofa, never expecting that both times he saw her, she was fighting with someone.
One time was when he pulled a woman's hair in his shop; the other time was just now, when he saw Liu Zi holding up a plate.
"You're too kind. You and Yizhou are friends, how could I stand by and watch you die?"
Liu Zi understood; this person was only acting because of Lin Yizhou.
However, the other party must have had other requests, otherwise they wouldn't have followed her to the lounge.
Liu Zi doesn't like to drag things out. Although she could have dealt with the pig herself, she felt obligated to accept the favor since the other person had helped her.
She just couldn't shake the feeling that she was in a bad mood. Oh well, she'd just consider it payment for the time she interfered with someone's business last time!
"Mr. Li, you can speak frankly if you have something to say. I still need to discuss the script with Director Wang in a little while, and I don't have much time left," Liu Zi reminded him.
Li Mu raised an eyebrow, understanding Liu Zi's meaning. To be honest, he also liked things to be said directly.
"I'd like to ask Miss Liu for a favor?"
"What kind of help?" Liu Zi was surprised that Li Mu would ask her for help.
“Our company would like to invite Lin Lianlian to be our spokesperson,” Li Mu pointed out, which was also the reason why he wanted to attend this banquet.
Liu Zi looked stunned for a moment. That's it?
Then she came to her senses and realized that the big boss wasn't a big boss yet. Lin Lianlian had recently become popular again in mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, so it was understandable that they couldn't invite him.
Seemingly understanding what Liu Zi wanted to say, Li Mu continued, "Of course, I would also like to find an opportunity to talk with Miss Liu. Yizhou told me some things last time that I found quite interesting, and I would like to discuss them in more detail with Miss Liu."
Liu Zi raised an eyebrow, surprisingly not saying much, but it would depend on when she was free.
After the banquet, Liu Zi had afternoon tea with Director Wang and had in-depth discussions about the start of filming for Infernal Affairs 1 and the subsequent scriptwriting.
Liu Ci didn't plan to interfere too much. "Infernal Affairs 1" was directed by Director Wong in the previous life, so he should have a lot of ideas in this area, and she didn't need to interfere.
She just didn't expect that as soon as "Infernal Affairs 1" was approved, Director Wong would buy her two subsequent films.
However, Liu Zi later realized that although she had a good relationship with Director Wang, there were many other people behind him.
Most of them are businessmen, and businessmen like to control the risks. Since Director Wong said that "Infernal Affairs" has the potential to be a hit, the subsequent scripts cannot be in the hands of others.
However, Liu Zi was in a dilemma. She had essentially bought and given away "Infernal Affairs" to Director Wong. Although the two subsequent films were not as good as the first one, they were still decent. It would be unreasonable to ask her to give them away again.
No matter how big the favor, Liu Zi still needs to eat!
Director Wang probably knew that what he was doing was a bit excessive. He didn't want to antagonize Liu Zi, but he had no choice in the matter.
With someone capable of writing a work like "Infernal Affairs," it's hard to guarantee that other great works won't emerge later, after all, Liu Zi is too young.
Don't underestimate a young person's potential!
Director Wang could only maximize Liu Zi's benefits, securing the highest possible rights to use the subsequent two works.
"Infernal Affairs 2" and "Infernal Affairs 3" were sold as a package, with Liu Zi receiving a price of 600,000 yuan.
Although Liu Zi was disappointed, she was short of money, so she could only smile through her tears and agree!
When Director Wang saw that Liu Zi hadn't haggled over the price, he considered it and immediately agreed, then smiled happily.
He really liked this perceptive screenwriter, so he invited Liu Zi to visit Hong Kong after the New Year to see the Hong Kong film industry.
Liu Zixin readily agreed. Hong Kong had only been returned to China two years ago, and things were still somewhat chaotic there. She felt more at ease knowing that someone would be there to protect her.
When I left the People's Hotel, the city lights were already on, and Chang'an Avenue was bustling with activity, with cars and pedestrians coming and going after work in an endless stream.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Liu Zi shrank her neck and wrapped her cashmere coat tighter around herself.
She took out her phone to call a taxi when a sudden car horn made her look up.
A Mercedes-Benz sedan slowly drove up from a distance and stopped beside Liu Zi. The back door opened, and Li Mu got out of the car.
"Huh? Mr. Li, you haven't left yet?" Liu Ci asked in surprise.
"I wonder if Miss Liu has some time later? I'd like to invite you to dinner." Li Mu said with a warm smile when he saw Liu Zi.
Liu Zi thought to herself, no wonder this CEO Li was able to become an investment tycoon later. With that kind of action, most people couldn't even catch up with him.
With Lin Yizhou involved, and the other party having waited for her for so long, Liu Zi really couldn't refuse.
Actually, she didn't really want to refuse. The opportunity was being offered up so readily, how could she let it go?
"Okay! Then Mr. Li, please choose a place! It's my treat today. I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." Liu Zi nodded apologetically.
Li Mu stepped aside to make way for Liu Zi and invited her to get in the car. Liu Zi gladly accepted; a gentleman's manners will always make a woman happy.
