Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan stood by the window of the film crew's studio, gazing at the busy staff outside, their hearts filled with mixed emotions. The release date of their new drama was fast approaching, but the obstacles in their path seemed insurmountable. The hesitation of their overseas partners hung like a dark cloud over their hearts, while the threat from the mysterious figure was like a sharp dagger, ready to pierce everything they had painstakingly maintained at any moment.
“We can’t just sit here and wait to die.” Ling Yichen turned around, his eyes revealing a do-or-die determination. “We’ll take the initiative and visit those partners who are still hesitating one by one.”
Jun Mo Ran nodded slightly, a resolute look appearing on his tired face: "Alright, I'll arrange the itinerary right away. But we can't let our guard down about the mysterious person; we must find out the truth as soon as possible."
Therefore, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran split up. Jun Moran stayed with the film crew, leading the investigation team to continue digging deeper into the clues about the mysterious person. They started with details such as the time Lin Yue received the phone call and the location of the number, and contacted professional technicians in an attempt to track the mysterious person's location using technical means.
Meanwhile, Ling Yichen, along with his publicity team, embarked on a challenging journey to persuade overseas partners. Their first stop was Europe's largest film and television distribution company. In the conference room, Ling Yichen once again gave a detailed presentation on the highlights and advantages of the new drama, showcasing brochures and exciting behind-the-scenes videos.
"This new drama blends the unique charm of Eastern culture with internationally popular film and television elements, and I believe it will definitely cause a sensation in the European market." Ling Yichen's voice was full of confidence, and his eyes were fixed on the representative of the business partner.
The representative of the partner company frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Ling, your introduction is very attractive. However, the previous public opinion storm still makes us somewhat worried. After all, investing in a TV series requires considering many risk factors."
Ling Yichen had anticipated this concern, and calmly produced a market research report: "As you can see, this report was commissioned by a professional agency. The report shows that the positive attention the new drama has received online has rebounded significantly, and it has already accumulated a large fan base in Asia. Once it is released in Europe, it will surely attract more viewers with its unique cultural charm and exciting storyline."
After a heated discussion and negotiation, the partner's representative finally softened his stance: "How about this, we'll look into it further and give you an answer in three days."
Although he didn't receive a definite answer immediately, Ling Yichen knew it was a positive sign. He rushed to the next business partner to continue lobbying for the release of the new drama.
Meanwhile, the production crew's investigation also made some progress. Technicians traced the mysterious person's number to a virtual online platform. Although they couldn't directly pinpoint the location, they at least confirmed that the individual had used high-tech methods to conceal their identity.
"It seems this mysterious person is not simple; he must have a powerful force supporting him." Jun Mo Ran frowned, lost in thought.
Just then, a member of the investigation team reported that they had discovered a suspicious lead. During the time Lin Yue received the call, an unfamiliar vehicle had been loitering near her residence. Further investigation revealed that the car's owner was a moderately well-known paparazzi who frequently provided negative news about celebrities to unscrupulous media outlets.
"Could this paparazzi be connected to the mysterious person?" Jun Mo Ran's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately arranged for people to follow and investigate the paparazzi.
After visiting several potential partners, Ling Yichen finally received good news. Two partners decided to sign contracts with him, giving him hope for the release of his new drama. However, he knew that many more partners were still observing, and he couldn't afford to be complacent.
However, just as Ling Yichen was preparing to continue his next trip, he suddenly received a call from Jun Mo Ran. Jun Mo Ran's voice was tinged with anxiety: "Ling Yichen, something bad has happened. We were followed by paparazzi, and he discovered us. Now he has disappeared, and we are worried that he has realized we are investigating him and may take some extreme actions."
Ling Yichen's heart tightened: "Don't panic. Strengthen the protection of Lin Yue and ensure her safety. I'll rush back to the film set immediately."
Hanging up the phone, Ling Yichen was extremely anxious. The paparazzi's disappearance had brought the investigation to a standstill, and he still needed to persuade his other business partners. Time was of the essence; every minute and every second was precious.
Back on set, Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan immediately convened an emergency meeting. Everyone sat together, the atmosphere heavy.
“We can’t let this paparazzi ruin our big plan,” Ling Yichen said through gritted teeth. “On the one hand, we continue to search for the paparazzi; on the other hand, we speed up communication with other partners and strive to finalize more collaborations in the shortest possible time.”
Just as they were nervously discussing countermeasures, Lin Yue suddenly received a text message from an unknown number: "You think you can find me? You're too naive. If you don't want your new drama to be completely ruined, you'd better do as I say."
This text message made everyone realize that the mysterious person had noticed their actions, and an even more intense confrontation was about to unfold.
