The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 548 Choice
There are actually two versions of the ending of "Infernal Affairs".

In the first version, Liu Jianming, played by Liu Dehua, walked out of the elevator and resolutely showed his ID to the police, indicating that he was a policeman.

In the second version, Liu Jianming walked out of the elevator and was arrested.

After discussion among the creative team, "New World" finally had two endings.

One of them is that Li Zicheng completely turned evil, turned to the dark side, and completely gave up his identity as an undercover policeman.

This is completely different from the choice made by Chen Yongren in "Infernal Affairs".

People must have a place in life in society.

One is the positioning given by oneself, and the other is the positioning given by the outside world. Only when the two coincide can you live a normal life.

For Chen Yongren, recognition came from the police.

He has hated the underworld since he was a child, has little affection for his biological father Ni Kun, and has never been close to anyone in the underworld.

Although his boss took advantage of him, his concern for him was genuine.

Therefore, from beginning to end, Chen Yongren was extremely firm in his identity and position as a police officer.

On the other hand, it is different for Li Zicheng. He is treated terribly by the police.

Superintendent Jiang openly arranged for a Go teacher to work with him, but secretly arranged for his deputy Shi Wu and his wife to monitor him, and did not reveal the action plan to him at all.

It can be said that Li Zicheng had no choice but to be in a state and situation where he was forced and threatened to move forward.

He tried every possible way and at multiple points in time to express that he was already tired and hoped that Superintendent Jiang would keep his promise.

However, Superintendent Jiang, who holds justice in his hands, uses all kinds of despicable means to force him to submit in the name of justice.

Li Zicheng had nowhere to turn to. All he felt was depression and helplessness, as well as the hypocrisy, meanness, greed and cowardice of Superintendent Jiang and the British high-ranking officials behind him.

Compared with the friendship with elder brother Ding Qing, these are far inferior.

Therefore, he finally chose to compromise and side with the dark side.

As for the other ending.

Ding Qing was arrested once when he was negotiating a business deal in Guangdong, during which time the police came into contact with him.

But after he came back, many of his plans had not yet been implemented because a series of things happened one after another.

First, the chairman (Dragon Head) died unexpectedly, and then the company was caught in a vortex of power struggle.

In order to gain the leading position and obtain the leading stick, he was accidentally ambushed in the subsequent fight.

So lying on the hospital bed, he advised Li Zicheng to be more ruthless and pointed out another way.

After Ding Qing passed away, the mainland sent people to contact Li Zicheng.

Xiangjiang River, Ma Caolong, on a high slope.

Ma Tso Lung, located in the northern New Territories of Hong Kong, was once a restricted border area. Across the river, you can see the scenery of Shenzhen.

The crew of "New World" filmed the last scene here.

The crew deliberately chose a morning after the rain.

Because of the high humidity in the air when it rains, the clouds are very low.

Looking around, the tall buildings opposite were lightly caressed by a layer of mist, with only vague outlines visible.

Just like Li Zicheng’s future.

"Pfft."

The cigarette butt fell into the mud and was then crushed by a muddy leather shoe.

The camera quietly rose up, slowly climbing along the trouser legs, and finally stopped on Wu Gang's face.

In the play, he plays a policeman who comes from the other side of the river. He takes something out of his pocket and says, "Here, a dragon head stick."

"Dragon head stick?" Li Zicheng, played by Lu Yuan, looked over and burst out laughing.

"Times have changed. This thing is not as important as you think. Besides, it's too fake. The wood chips haven't even been blown away."

Upon hearing this, Wu Gang blew on it gently, stuffed it into his arms nonchalantly, and said, "From now on, this is the Dragon Head Stick."

"Okay, if you say so, then so be it."

"What if the one Zhang Shouji hid is discovered someday?"

"I have the original one, that one is fake."

Lu Yuan turned around, looked at the other side, took out his cigarette case, and his lighter made a "puff" sound.

"it is good."

“This one is OK!”

In front of the monitor, Wen Muye looked around, and under the expectant gazes of the staff, he waved his hand fiercely: "I declare that the filming of "New World" has officially finished!!"

"Oh!"

There was a burst of cheers at the scene. Two staff members were so excited that they accidentally slipped and fell to the ground, causing everyone to make fun of them.

Lu Yuan stood in front of the monitor and breathed a sigh of relief. After two months, the filming of "New World" was completed.

June 6st, Children's Day.

Location, villa.

It was around ten o'clock in the morning and the bedroom curtains were still tightly drawn.

There were bursts of firecrackers coming from the bathroom, crackling.

"."

I don’t know how much time has passed.

After a moment of silence, the door opened and Lu Yuan walked out shirtless.

She simply wrapped a white bath towel around her waist, with a comfortable expression on her face.

"boom."

He walked straight to the bed, lay down straight, turned sideways, supported his head with one hand, and fixed his eyes on the bathroom door.

After a while, Liu Shishi came out.

She was also wrapped in the same white bath towel. Her face was unmade up, white with a rosy complexion, her neck was long and slender, her curves were elegant, and a hint of whiteness was revealed underneath.

Maybe she wrapped herself in a hurry, with one hand protecting her chest, and the hem of the bath towel just covered her thighs, adding a bit of seductive charm.

Further down, there is a blush on each knee, like the morning glow.

"Humph!"

Noticing the dog's gaze, Liu Shishi glared at him with a bit of coquettishness.

"Get off."

Lu Yuan moved back swiftly, and Miss Liu leaned into his arms, resting her head on his arm.

"When does it start?" Lu Yuan played with her little hand.

"Later, I want to lie down a little longer."

"Okay, what do you want to eat for lunch?"

Liu Shishi rolled her eyes and said, "How about we make dumplings? Your sister made dumplings a few days ago and I learned from her. Let's go out and buy some dumpling wrappers and some meat fillings, like three fresh, beef, mushrooms, etc., and make some dumplings ourselves."

"Making dumplings in the middle of the day is too much trouble. I don't know how to do it." Lu Yuan refused.

"Oh, man, you're so lazy." Liu Shishi pouted: "Making dumplings is very simple, just put the stuffing in, pinch the dumpling skin and seal it tightly."

Lu Yuan bit her earlobe and smiled, "Is that so?"

"Ouch!" Liu Shishi was embarrassed and annoyed. She clamped her thighs together and slapped him on the back of the head in annoyance.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Lu Yuan quickly hugged her tightly to prevent her from having a seizure and collapsing the bed: "I'll eat whatever you say."

"Hmph, that's pretty much it."

"By the way, how did Cai Zhuoyan do later?"

"How would I know? I left after filming the next day and never paid attention to it."

"Oh." Liu Shishi pouted.

Lu Yuan suddenly remembered something: "You said a few days ago that you would have a surprise for me when I come back. What surprise?"

"That." Liu Shishi got angry and punched him again. "I was planning to wear it for you last night, but you were so impatient that you blocked my mouth as soon as I entered the room without waiting for me to say anything."

"So it was clothes, then why didn't you change them later?"

"Still talking." Liu Shishi pretended to be angry and bit his shoulder: "You are like a cow. I was in a daze afterwards, how could I remember these." "Go change now, you want to see it." Lu Yuan kissed her lips.

"No wait."

Liu Shishi smiled playfully, wrapped the torn bath towel again, walked out of the bedroom barefoot, twisting her waist.

Lu Yuan stretched his limbs and stared at the voice-controlled light on the bedside in a daze.

This thing was flashing all night last night and almost blinded me.

Bullshit atmosphere, it doesn't work.

After staring for a long time, I started to feel sleepy. Well, I slept late last night, and this is a normal physiological phenomenon for men.

Just as his soul was wandering in the sky, there was a "ding dong" sound.

He took the phone from the bedside table and was surprised to find it was a WeChat message from Liu's mother.

"Auntie, what's the matter?"

"Xiao Lu, are you free to come over for dinner today?"

"I guess I can't do it during the day. I have to go to the company. I can do it at night."

"Well, is Shishi at your place now?"

"Yes, she just went to the living room. I'll call her for you."

"No, no, don't call her. Find a reason to ask her to come back. This girl said she would clean up her bedroom last week, but now she wants to be lazy again."

"Why don't you just tell her via WeChat?"

"I don't know much about my daughter. If I ask her to work, she will definitely have other things to do. If you ask her to come back, she will have no excuses."

"Okay, I'll try." Lu Yuan put down his phone, feeling a headache.

The couple hadn't seen each other for a long time. The girlfriend was being so clingy with him that she wished she could grow on him. How could he get her to go back? But the future mother-in-law had spoken, so he had to do it.

I thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't come up with a solution.

After a while, Liu Shishi, wrapped in a bath towel, pushed open the bedroom door mysteriously.

"Dang-dang-dang."

She tore off the towel and spun lightly on the spot, like a blooming flower.

“Is it good looking?”

Lu Yuan's forehead was full of black lines, thinking what it was, he bought a new set of underwear.

The style is quite good, with a hollow design and ropes on both sides of the waist that can be untied with a slight pull.

"What, don't you like it?"

"Yes, I like whatever you wear."

Liu Shishi rode on him happily, and her hands started to get naughty.

But no matter how soft she tried, Lu Yuan remained motionless. He was now well fed and had no desires or requests.

"Oh, what's wrong with you?" Miss Liu's arms were sore.

"Big sister, you have to restore mana when playing a game hero, don't I need to?"

"Heroes can eat health packs to restore their mana bars. Dressed like this, can't I serve as your health pack?" She puffed out her chest proudly.

Lu Yuan was extremely sleepy. He pinched her thigh, recalled what Liu's mother had said, hesitated for a few seconds, and shook his head with a sigh.

“It’s so lucrative.”

"what?"

The fellow coughed dryly and said, "No wonder they say it's easy to make money from women. There are only two peanuts in total, but I have to spend money to buy two greenhouses. What a waste."

"Huh?" Liu Shishi was stunned for a moment, lowered her head slightly, glanced at her chest, and then her little face pulled.

"Lu Yuan, if you have the guts, say what you just said again."

This guy didn't know what was going on, and continued to spout nonsense: "Ah, there's nothing I can do. It was my own choice. It just delayed two generations. One generation was delayed from eating, and the other generation was delayed from playing."

"Lu Yuan!!" Liu Shishi screamed, exploded, and bit his chest.

"Hey, fuck, be gentle."

After an unknown amount of time, peace returned to the bedroom.

"Where are you going?"

"Go home!! I will never talk to you again."

With a "bang" sound, Liu Shishi slammed the door and left angrily.

"Scumbag, just eat and drink and leave."

Lu Yuan rubbed the four or five teeth marks on his chest and shoulders, stood up and drew aside the curtains, only to see his girlfriend driving away in a sports car.

When the taillights of the car disappeared, he immediately took out his phone and replied to Liu's mother: "Auntie, the mission is accomplished. Shi Shi was pissed off by me and is on her way back."

"Okay, come to dinner tonight, I'll make you something delicious."

"Okay!" Lu Yuan threw his phone away, felt sleepy, and went to sleep.

As for how to coax your girlfriend at night, it’s very easy. With the support of your future mother-in-law, it’s a piece of cake.

"Damn it, there's no lunch."

Zhaoyang District, the new office area of ​​Yuanfang Media.

"Suck it."

In the conference room, Lu Jing looked at his cousin across from him, holding his cheek with one hand, and half-jokingly said, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, brother, were you kicked out of the house by your sister-in-law?"

Lu Yuan took a sip of instant noodle soup and asked, "What do you mean?"

"My sister-in-law was still telling me on WeChat a few days ago that she wanted to make dumplings for you. You must have bullied her again."

"Uh" Lu Yuan was embarrassed, and suddenly felt guilty, so he changed the subject: "How is the iQiyi equity issue going?"

"Currently, Alibaba's highest bid is 30 billion, and Tencent's bid is 27 billion."

Lu Yuan nodded, everything was as expected.

During the filming of "New World", the news that iQiyi shareholder Blueprint Copyright was planning to sell its shares was accidentally leaked, causing an uproar in the video industry.

With 18% of iQiyi shares, he is undoubtedly the largest shareholder.

This has attracted the attention of many investors, as well as competitors of Baidu and iQiyi.

Companies including NetEase, LeTV, Sohu, Youku Tudou, Alibaba, Tencent, etc. have all joined the competition.

Some people are taking the opportunity to deliberately cause trouble, while others may really want to buy.

After all, from an investment perspective, iQiyi's current market share ranks second, only behind the combination of Youku and Tudou, and its development prospects are good.

"What about Baidu? How did they react?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Of course I was anxious. Since I couldn't contact you, I had to come to me."

Lu Jing smiled and said, "When Gong Yu came over, there was a Baidu executive next to him. He said a lot of things, appealing to my feelings and reasoning, and offered 19 billion. He thought he had a sure win, but I rejected him in the end. His expression was so interesting."

She paused and snorted, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. You wanted to use 1 billion to get rid of us, thinking we were beggars. Even rabbits bite when they are cornered. Do you really think Baidu has no rivals in China?"

"There are less than two months left before our cooperation agreement with iQiyi expires. If the offer is not sincere enough by then, we will give priority to Tencent."

"Why not sell it to Alibaba?" Lu Jing wondered.

Lu Yuan explained: "It is said in the industry that as one of the three major Internet giants, it is inevitable for Alibaba to deploy video network, but Alibaba's business layout and strategic planning have always been centered around e-commerce. Among the business sectors, e-commerce, finance, etc. are its main focus, and video business is not Alibaba's core business in comparison."

"Even if they want to exit, given the current situation, they can only invest in a video company, which obviously cannot be iQiyi."

"Tencent is different. They have a huge user base, and the video business is the most suitable for them. Although they started late, they have developed rapidly. Competition with iQiyi is inevitable. Buying iQiyi shares at this time can take the initiative in future competitions."

Lu Yuan threw the instant noodle box into the trash can, wiped his mouth, and looked confident.

Lu Jing nodded as if he suddenly understood something: "I see. I will find an opportunity to contact Tencent right away."

"Row."

While they were talking, Wu Lang, Chen Zhixi and others walked into the meeting room.

Lu Yuan saw that everyone was present.

"Next we will discuss the relevant matters that PPS hopes to cooperate with."
