Chapter 290 I have a bottom line
Although with the help of the stupid system and the inexplicable "Pfizer slimming pill" provided by the system, Suning's physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary people, it still does not make Suning out of the realm of mortals.

I don’t know how long it took before Suning and Britney stopped their fierce “quarrel” and both lay on the bed tiredly, panting to rest. Britney turned her head to look at the man next to her, and happily touched the man’s nose with her fingers.

The itching from the wings of his nose made Suning sober up a lot. He turned his head to look at the funny Britney. Suning leaned over and kissed her with a wicked smile. Just when both of them were about to suffocate, Suning and Britney reluctantly separated.

At this moment, Britney felt really happy. The oriental man beside her was not only mysterious, but also often brought her endless surprises. This was a feeling she had never enjoyed before.

Like ordinary women, Britney always wants to give her best to the man she likes when she sees him, and then share the happiness with her beloved man.

"Suning, I have something really cool here.

Do you want to try it?" Britney suddenly looked at the obsessed Suning as if offering a treasure.

“Something cool?

It can't be." After hearing Britney's somewhat seductive voice, Suning no longer had any trace of confusion.

At this moment, the American's "favorite" automatically came to mind, but it was something that made every Chinese person nervous, and then Suning completely woke up.

"Thank you for your kindness, Britney!
You should know that we Chinese hate this kind of thing the most!"

"Suning, you are not cool at all!
This thing is very interesting, not as bad as you think! " Britney found it difficult to understand Suning's rejection.

"Britney, I love you!

I am willing to live with you forever, but I will never touch anything you say!"

Seeing that Suning was really disgusted by this thing, Britney stopped insisting and instead took out the "cool thing" and started enjoying it. Smelling the strange and pungent smell, Suning suddenly felt nauseous and left the bedroom on the pretext of going to the bathroom.

After going to the toilet and taking a shower in the bathroom, Suning found that Britney was still in the bedroom, so he simply picked up the phone on the table in the living room and called John Woo. The reason why he went to the United States in person this time was mainly because Suning noticed something unusual about John Woo.

According to the original plan, "The Piano Tuner" would be submitted to the Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Awards in the United States in May 05. However, for some unknown reason, John Woo contacted the film and television distribution company in the United States on his own initiative without notifying the company and Suning. This made Suning feel that it had lost control of John Woo.

When they were in China, Suning did not tell Liu Ting the specific things. After all, she did not know the real purpose of John Woo, so she immediately put aside the things in China and flew to Los Angeles, California, after all, no one likes the feeling of being out of control.

The call was connected soon. John Woo on the other end of the phone knew that Suning had flown to California in person. He felt a little ashamed and agreed to meet with Suning at the agreed time. Then the two hung up the phone.

After Britney smoked alone in the bedroom, she soon felt a sense of emptiness and loneliness. Seeing that Suning had not come back yet, Britney knew that Suning was really angry when she woke up.

"Humph! Stingy Oriental man!"

Although Britney complained, she stood up and walked out of the bedroom very honestly. She just saw Su Ning who had hung up the phone, and immediately smiled and hugged Su Ning from behind who was sitting on the sofa.

"Honey! Who are you calling?"

"Uh! John Woo! A shareholder of our company!" Enjoying Britney's kiss, Suning explained helplessly.

“John Woo? I’ve heard of him!
I also heard that he is a very famous director.

Edward from Lionsgate has been contacting John Woo recently to make a movie!

"What? Edward?
Isn't he the film acquisition manager for Lionsgate?
When did you start asking about the specific filming matters? "

"Haha, Suning, your information is too delayed!
Edward has already been promoted!"

Suning paid no attention to Britney's teasing, because Suning finally guessed the reason for John Woo's abnormality. It must be that Edward from Lionsgate had promised John Woo something.

After guessing the whole story, Suning sneered in his heart. It seemed that the preferential treatment he showed to John Woo was still not as good as the "olive branch" from an old Hollywood company like Lionsgate.

The next day, Suning met John Woo in a nearby cafe. He did not speak directly, but just looked at John Woo quietly.

"I'm sorry! President Su!
I let you down!" Soon, Wu Yusen could no longer bear Suning's gaze and apologized with a guilty conscience.

“Haha, people go to high places, and water flows to low places!
This is the law of nature!

There’s no need for you to feel embarrassed!”

"Mr. Su, thank you for your understanding!

The terms offered by Edward from Lionsgate are too favorable. I've worked so hard in Hollywood for all these years just for this day, so I can only apologize to President Su and the company!"

"Tell me! What's going on?" Suning took a sip of coffee without commenting, and then asked the most crucial question.

“Mr. Su, when I was editing The Piano Tuner, Edward from Lionsgate Films suddenly found me.

Let me give "The Tuner" to Lionsgate for distribution and give our company 17.5% of the share.

I felt that Lionsgate's offer was very good, so I agreed on behalf of the company."

Suning knew that the biggest discount was the personal promise made by Edward of Lionsgate to John Woo, but Suning no longer cared about what preferential conditions Edward would give to John Woo. He just lamented that John Woo was too short-sighted.

"Haha, is 17.5% a lot?" Suning's words were full of disdain.

"Huh? This share is quite a bit!

There wasn't such preferential conditions for 'Hero' in 04!" Wu Yusen's eyes widened in surprise at Suning's disdain.

"Director Wu, last year I gave my film 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith' to Warner Bros. Entertainment for distribution, and Warner Bros. Entertainment gave me a 35% share of the profits."

"What? This is impossible!" John Woo's face suddenly turned pale.

"Haha, there is nothing impossible in this world!
The reason I didn’t announce this news to the outside world was that I didn’t want to attract too much jealousy.”

John Woo suddenly realized that there was no need for Suning to deceive him. After all, the relationship between Suning and Warner Entertainment was really special. Even Warner Entertainment executive Liu Ting joined Su Media. At the same time, Suning's singer contract was also signed with Warner Records.

After understanding everything, Wu Yusen suddenly felt like a clown, "Boss Su, now that things have come to this!
I don't have the face to stay in Su Media anymore!"

"Yeah! Okay!
I will buy back your shares at the current market value, so you can make a fortune!"

"Thank you, Mr. Su! I have no objection!
I will voluntarily withdraw from the authorship of "The Tuner"!"

"Yeah! That's fine too!
The Tuner is still being edited, right?

"Yes!"

"Since we broke up peacefully, I wish you a bright future, Director Wu!" Suning suddenly stretched out his right hand and shook hands with John Woo.

"Mr. Su, let's work together again if there's a chance!" Feeling ashamed, John Woo just wanted to escape from here quickly.

Watching John Woo flee the café, Su Ning smiled silently. His Su Media had grown stronger and no longer needed John Woo's international influence. With his departure, Su Ning could breathe a sigh of relief; it was a major relief for the company. As for the still-unfinished post-editing of "The Piano Tuner," Su Ning wasn't worried at all. He was capable of handling the follow-up work, and the director's credit would be his, ending any ties to John Woo.

After that, Suning put all his energy into the post-production editing of "The Piano Tuner". After seeing the films shot by John Woo, Suning still admired John Woo's ability. Anyway, he did not have such ability now.

A month of boring editing life made Suning very impatient, but the company of Britney Spears somewhat alleviated the feeling of anxiety. In addition, his good friend Cameron Diaz often came to accompany him, so Suning was actually very comfortable in the United States for more than a month.

Fortunately, Suning got a tourist visa that allowed him to stay in the United States for half a year, and he didn't have to worry about harassment from the U.S. Immigration Service, so he could focus on his work without any restrictions.

Since the last incident, Britney never mentioned that thing in front of Suning again. Suning also knew what to do and did not interfere with Britney's "special hobby". After all, this is the freedom of the American people.

After five weeks of editing, "The Piano Tuner" has become a formal film. Suning did not contact any American film and television distribution company, but locked the film in a safe, waiting to participate in the Cannes Film Festival and the Academy Awards in the first half of next year.

China, Beijing, Su Media Company.

"Suning, you are finally back!

I thought you were completely captivated by Britney Spears!" Liu Ting complained as she looked at Su Ning in front of her.

"Haha, Sister Liu, you're not missing me, are you?"

"Go to hell! Stop talking nonsense!

Tell me what's going on with John Woo?

"He was poached by Lionsgate.

After all, Su Media can't compare to Lionsgate."

"Ah? That's too unfair of John Woo!"

"Haha, when it comes to interests, talking about righteousness and friendship seems childish!"

"Yeah! That's right!
What have you been busy with in the United States during this time?

"John Woo wisely withdrew from the credits for The Piano Tuner, and I stayed in the United States to edit The Piano Tuner.

As soon as I finished the post-production editing of "The Tuner," I returned to China."

"Haha, John Woo is quite sensible!
Not only did he give up his shares in Su Media, he also didn't monopolize the authorship rights for "The Tuner."

"Sister Liu, I have high expectations for this "The Tuner"!
At the beginning, he was worried that his ability was not enough, so he had no choice but to hand it over to John Woo.

After the awards ceremony at the Cannes Film Festival next year, I believe John Woo will regret it to the core!"

“Haha, I don’t know if John Woo will regret it!
But now Sun Honglei is regretting it so much.

You know, the highest ratings for "Live" have already exceeded 56%!"

"Ah? So high?" Suning has been in the United States recently, so he really doesn't know about the premiere of "The Disguiser".

"Haha, I didn't expect Lurk to be so awesome!
Now the leaders of CCTV are extremely polite to me.

The second and third rounds of broadcasting rights have already been snapped up by several provincial and municipal TV stations!"

"That's great! Looks like our company will make a fortune again!"

"Well! Now I finally understand that money is a trivial matter!

This has made Su Media a benchmark in the domestic entertainment industry."

Upon hearing the news about Liu Ting, Suning, who had just returned to China, couldn't help but be surprised. He really didn't expect that "The Disguiser" would become so popular in China.

After returning to China, Suning did not get complacent. With Liu Ting, a professional manager, in control of the company, Suning could return to school to study with peace of mind.

Although I have achieved a lot, I also realized the lack of my abilities. Only by returning to school to study can I solve my shortcomings.

When Suning returned to school, he could immediately feel the changes in his classmates and teachers. After all, he had become a "diamond bachelor" and the most ideal future boss for his classmates.

The school is permanent, but the students are transient. When Suning returned to the Beijing Film Academy campus, he found that many familiar faces were missing. Suning knew that they had all graduated and left the school.

"Suning, I heard that you just came back from the United States?" Professor Zhou Chengzhong looked at Suning with surprise.

"Yes! Teacher!

John Woo had some problems in the US, so I rushed over to deal with it."

“Yeah! I also heard about John Woo’s story!

In fact, this is fine.

He is not the same kind of person as us, so it would be good if we could break up peacefully in advance!"

"Haha, teacher, we, the master and the disciple, think alike!"

"Haha, you little bastard!

Recently, the company has produced two hit dramas, "Bright Sword" and "The Disguiser", which have completely established Su Media's foothold in the domestic entertainment industry.

However, I still want to remind you that when it comes to your personal issues, don't go too far!"

"Huh? Teacher, I understand!" Su Ning blushed a little when he heard Professor Zhou Chengzhong's reminder.

Looking at Suning who had agreed, Zhou Chengzhong shook his head helplessly. Suning was good in every way except that he was self-indulgent in personal matters. As Suning's mentor, Zhou Chengzhong really didn't want to see Suning lose the big picture for the small.

"Suning, you're not a kid anymore!
It's really time to think about personal issues!

If you don't have a suitable partner yet, how about I ask your wife to introduce you to one?"

"Ah? Thank you for your kindness, teacher!
I have no plans to get married now!"

"Oh, whatever you want!"

Zhou Chengzhong had long anticipated Suning's direct rejection. After all, no one is willing to give up the vast forest that belongs to them for a tree.
