Huayu: From charlatan to great entertainer

Chapter 237 A Different Vase
Liu Yifei was excited for a moment, then quickly calmed down and reached out for her cell phone under Yang Siwei's gaze.

"and many more!"

"what happened?"

Yang Siwei said confidently, "Why rush? Wait until he hits me a few more times."

It was 8 o'clock in the evening in Beijing time, and Concubine Liu Yi had just finished her meal.

9 points.

10 points.

The phone never rang again.

The depressed Xiao Liu wanted to find someone to vent his anger, but the confident military advisor had already left.

She picked up the phone several times and wanted to call back, but put it down in disappointment.

Huang Rong, you have to hold on!
At 10 p.m. Beijing time, on the other side of the world, in Vancouver’s Chinatown, the crew of “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” was just about to start work.

Today, my old friend Leonardo came to visit us on set.

The arranged reporters flocked in and the on-set marketing began.

After the usual arguments of "I'm sorry we couldn't work together again" and "This will be another great movie", Leonardo DiCaprio and Lu Kuan went to the RV to smoke.

"Holy crap, did they just buy it? It's so luxurious inside, and it even has expansion space?"

Leonardo proudly boasted, "'Alien Land' is a huge hit, so I'm rewarding myself. How about that?"

"This is a new product from a custom RV company in Oregon. It just arrived and I haven't used it yet."

Boss Lu scoffed, "Oh, you drove here just to show off?"

The phone in my pocket vibrated. It was Long Danni calling.

He hung up after a few words and flipped through the call log.

There is only one record of an outgoing call that was not connected.

What the hell is Xiao Liu doing?

Adolescent rebellion?
Boss Lu said hello to Leonardo, got out of the car, and called Liu Yifei again.

"Let's learn to meow together, meow meow meow meow~~~"

When the ringtone of Liu Yifei's voice rang, Lu Kuan held the phone away in disgust.

You are almost 18 years old and still using such childish ringtones. They don’t look like your own at all.

His ringtone was recorded by Huang Bo: I made a lot of money, but I don’t know how to spend it. I bought a Nokia with my left hand and a Motorola with my right hand~~~
In the girl's boudoir, Liu Yifei took two bites of the sliced ​​fruit her mother had just brought in, and lay there staring at the ceiling with a look of despair on her face.

Looking at this love-brained person's dead look, any frame can be put on the water drop fundraising.

A 17-year-old girl suffers from cerebral palsy and is asking for donations and help!
In just two hours, her mental state underwent several transformations.

Instead of being Guo Xiang, why not be Huang Rong?
Thinking is right!
Wait for him to call a few more times before answering the phone?

Thinking is right!
The phone never rang again...

Yang Siwei, you bastard, have misled me!!!
"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding~~~"

Liu Yifei had amazing strength in her waist and abdomen. She sat up with a somersault and grabbed the phone, a smug smile on her face.

Yang Siwei Dog...

Thinking is really my female Zhuge Liang!
"Hello? What's up?"

"Haven't you rested yet, Xiao Liu?"

Concubine Liu Yi smiled, but her words were unusually cold and stern: "Rest now, hang up if you have nothing else to do."

"Just chatting for two dollars, haha."

"Are you feeling unwell recently? Why haven't you been recording?"

"If you don't want to go, then don't go." Liu Yifei contentedly changed into a comfortable position, gaining extremely high emotional value from the proper way of exposing the person.

Lu Kuan frowned speechlessly. The young lady's temper flared up again.

What's the point of being so angry? I'm not in the country at this time.

"Who are you angry with?"

"I'm not angry."

"Oh, you're not angry. Why don't you go record the song tomorrow? Mengniu is still waiting."

"I won't go, I don't want to go."

Boss Lu was furious: "Aren't you still angry?!"

"No, I'm fine."

Concubine Liu Yi laughed in her heart, thinking that to deal with Grandet, you have to hit his weak spot!

"You go ahead and film. I'm going to sleep first."

Beep beep beep...

Boss Lu listened to the dead tone coming from the phone with a constipated look on his face. How could he, a scumbag, encounter a pure love script?

Do I have to go back to the year I was eighteen and experience the same "you draw, I guess" game between young lovers again?

short essay?
Are you angry? I'm not angry.

Shit, it gives me a headache just thinking about it.

He is mentally mature, but he can't resist Guo Xiang, who is still in adolescence and wants to play!

Boss Lu wanted to get both the woman and the money in one go, but Concubine Liu Yi was becoming more and more unwilling to give in.

Bingbing wants material value, while Xiao Liu wants emotional value, which is much more difficult than the former!
What's the problem?
I've been immersed in the filming of my new movie recently, so... I'm pretty honest, right?

The assistant director trotted over and said, "Director Lu, Designer Wang has sent over the costumes. Would you like to take a look?"

"Oh, Wang Daren..."

Boss Lu shuddered: "Wang Daren?"

Then he slapped his thigh hard: "Damn it, it turns out he was the one who gave himself away!"

"Take your clothes to the dressing room first, I'll be there shortly."

"Yes, director."

In order to hide his true relationship with Bingbing from Huayi and other forces, he hid aside when Bingbing took a photo with "Vogue" to promote himself.

Unexpectedly, the attentive Xiao Liu discovered the highlight.

It seems that I have to guard against her like a class enemy from now on.

Boss Lu sighed secretly and walked towards Leonardo's luxury RV.

Looking up at the new RV with wood-wooden windows on the exterior, it is truly the Anderson Mobile Estate, the first choice of Hollywood stars.

Just by looking at the last English word, you can tell that Anderson RV can turn RVs into real estate.

Anderson was founded in 1995. Will Smith later had a giant RV with 22 wheels, which was their masterpiece.

In its complete form, the vehicle can be raised using eight jacks, directly converting it into two floors.

When all four automatic modules on the side are opened, the total usable area inside the car is as high as 120 square meters, which cost Will Smith 250 million US dollars.

Lu Kuan stroked his chin, walked around the RV and took a few photos.

As cunning as he is, he already has a plan in mind.

He still remembered that during the filming of "Foreign Land", Liu Yifei used his relatively ordinary RV to exchange clothes, and later gave the car to Emil to use and did not take it back to China.

At that time, Liu Xiaoli even asked him, otherwise...

Boss Lu turned on his cell phone and sent Xiao Liu several MMS messages, all of which were pictures of RVs.

"Actually, I never told you, but I've already booked an Anderson Traveler for you. It's the best RV in North America right now."

"I wanted to give it to you on your birthday last month, but since the interior is all handmade, it would take a lot of time."

"It's almost finished. I think it will be sent to Peking soon after the formalities are completed."

First, borrow flowers to offer to the female Bodhisattva and solve her problem.

This female Bodhisattva is now a fortune-attracting girl and must not be offended easily.

Boss Lu calmly opened the door and got into the car. Now he had to solve the problem of the flowers.

"You're finally back. Martin Scorsese just called me and asked you to have dinner with him tonight."

Boss Lu looked around and saw that everything was brand new, with some parts even having the plastic film not removed.

"Leo, I'm in trouble."

"what?"

Leonardo was still thinking about taking him to a bar to have some fun that night, but how come he suddenly started acting out a sad scene?

"Sell me your RV."

"what?"

Leonardo looked incredulous. He was planning to have sex with his new girlfriend here. What the hell do you want?

"No, no, I put a lot of thought into this car. The design inside is all my hard work."

"No wonder, the decoration style is so aesthetically pleasing."

Boss Lu flattered him first, then sighed: "Leo, I forgot Crystal's birthday, you know."

Little Leo looked at him in surprise, then smiled and pointed at the road with his finger, looking like a lewd and evil person in cahoots with each other.

"Lu, you're such a beast. Crystal isn't even an adult yet, right?"

Leonardo thought to himself that he was just playing with young models at most, but you were the one who played with them so recklessly, you are a beast in human form!
"What are you thinking? I'm counting on her to make money for me. Name your price!"

. . .

Liu Yifei has been staying up late to sign T-shirts recently, and she goes to bed relaxed after satisfying her mental state.

When I saw those MMS photos again, it was already early morning the next day.

"Xixi, hurry up and have breakfast after practice."

Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter with a smile at the door of the practice room, feeling happy that her daughter had grown up.

The heroine of the mainland's historical box office champion is amazing!

"I'm in a good mood today!"

Liu Yifei took the bowl of porridge and said, "Really? I'm in a good mood every day."

Yang Siwei, who just entered the restaurant: Haha.

Young people are not deep. Liu Yifei couldn't help but take out her mobile phone halfway through the meal.

"Mom, Siwei, look, this is the birthday present Lu Kuan gave me!"

Yang Siwei then suddenly realized why she was in such a good mood.

What followed was complete speechlessness.

You will never be Huang Rong in your life. Can something that is a month late be called a birthday present?
Liu Xiaoli didn't know the whole story, but she looked at the photo over and over again: "It's really good. It will be much more convenient for Xixi to change clothes when filming in the future."

She had already inspected RVs in China, but none of them were suitable.

"how much?"

"I don't know. They deducted it from my wages for recording the theme song for Super Girl."

Yang Siwei said yin-yangly, "Aunt Liu, if you say he's a big boss, even if he's an ordinary person, he's still a very cunning guy."

"You didn't even mention the betrothal gift, and you've already completed both the house and the car with just an RV. You're not a good girl to cheat on!"

Concubine Liu Yi pretended to be angry: "What are you talking about? This is the result of my hard work, okay?"

Liu Xiaoli could understand what Yang Siwei meant, but there was nothing she could do because a girl is no longer under the control of her mother when she grows up.

"By the way, yesterday Mr. Chen Bing from the Beijing Film Academy, who is also the director of your film 'Silver Years', gave me the script."

"Your role, um..."

Liu Xiaoli asked curiously, "Is there a problem? It's just a guest appearance for a political mission."

Yang Siwei paused and said, "I do find it a bit strange that the protagonist is actually a Korean named Jang Nara."

"The content is basically about the experience of a Korean student studying at Beijing Film Academy."

"Sissi is a teacher in the film, and her role doesn't seem much like a cameo."

She flipped through the script and saw some character annotations: "Look, Huang Xiaoming and the others are just guest stars. They don't have many lines, they just show up and then the filming is over."

"Sissi's role lasted until the very last episode. How could this be considered a cameo?"

Liu Yifei didn't take it seriously: "Just stagger the schedule, I'm going to Jiuzhaigou to join the crew next month."

"But my mother and I have met this Jang Nara. She is said to want to enter the entertainment industry."

Yang Siwei nodded. "Now she's a signed artist of Huayi. She just held a signing press conference, and it was of a pretty high standard."

"I heard from my husband Lu Dayao a while ago that recently domestic film and television companies and talent agencies have been promoting their own young actresses, and they are all targeting you!"

Concubine Liu Yi was at a loss for words: "Me? Why are they targeting me? I'm not in their way."

"How can it be okay? Have you forgotten what Boss Lu said? The area on the pyramid is only the size of a palm."

"If they don't push you down, how are you going to climb up?"

Liu Yifei took the script and flipped through a few pages: "Aren't we going to join the crew in two days? Let's see and see. If it doesn't work out, we'll give you some suggestions then."

Wang Jingsong usually took good care of her, and the little girl didn't want to offend the head teacher.

The storm caused by "Alien Land" in the domestic entertainment industry gradually dissipated, but a Korean wave quietly approached.

First, Huayi officially announced that Jang Nara, who had signed a contract, was appointed as a cultural exchange ambassador by the ambassador of the Chinese Embassy in South Korea. She will serve as a bridge for cultural exchange between the two countries as an actor.

Then the tribute drama "Silver Years" jointly produced by Beijing Film Academy and Tianjin Satellite TV officially started filming.

The drama will be filmed mainly at the Beijing Film Academy campus, telling the story of an international exchange student's interesting life while studying in a foreign country.

The TV series will be released in 2005, the centenary of Chinese cinema and the 55th anniversary of the founding of Beijing Film Academy.

Judging from the interview reports sent back by on-site reporters, the cast alone already includes powerful and popular artists such as Chen Baoguo, Jiang Wenli, Huang Xiaoming, and Liu Yifei.

At the same time, the media of the Huayi Department has been constantly marketing, listing the newcomer Jang Nara and Liu Yifei side by side in the promotional materials to promote the former.

They even arranged for extremely enthusiastic fans to visit the set every day, send flowers, and ask for autographs, creating the impression that Jang Nara is extremely popular in the Eastern country.

Just one week after filming began, Huayi’s Internet marketing campaign was reported to Boss Lu by Xu Bo from the Public Opinion Center, who had just arrived at Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong.

Lu Kuan was amazed as he looked at the photos on his phone. These people are really evil and want to use Liu Yifei to boost Jang Nara's status, right?
(Still from the original version of "Silver Years")
All the soft articles are accompanied by stills of the two of them in the same frame. Zhang Nara was photographed from a carefully designed angle, while Xiao Liu took a casual photo to set off the former.

As for the copywriting, it is mainly based on "popular young actresses from China and South Korea are competing in acting, and South Korea's little queen is overshadowing young actresses from mainland China", with all kinds of innuendos.

Boss Lu called Yang Siwei.

"Hello? Mr. Lu."

"What are you doing? You didn't even know you fell into someone's trap?"

Yang Siwei already had doubts, and she noticed something was wrong on the third day of filming.

It can be said that her guest role is quite large, with Jang Nara having long lines and long shots, and she is passionate, beautiful and has a sweet voice.

Liu Yifei is always in a state where the spotlight is stolen and the role is suppressed. Her acting is awkward and aggrieved, and her image is very unpleasant.

"Boss Lu, I've been trying to persuade you for several days."

"But Xixi has been giving in to the school because of their attitude. I can't do anything about it!"

Boss Lu acted like a capitalist, even though these were no longer his employees.

"Don't tell me there's no way."

"If the leading actress of a mainland box office champion can't even give you the courage to turn against me and make demands, then your career as an agent is over."

"By the way, Xiao Liu's car will be loaded and unloaded directly at the Tianjin Port tomorrow and delivered to you. I'll go take a look in a few days."

Boss Lu "overstepped his authority" and issued an ultimatum to the slightly plump agent: "Solve this matter before I get here. Show us your methods!"

Yang Siwei was speechless when she heard the dead tone on the phone, but she did not feel surprised by being given an unauthorized order.

She knew better than anyone else the complicated relationship between Liu Yifei and her former boss.

But with such a difficult task before me, how should I handle it?

September 2004, 9, in the studio of the Beijing Film Academy's "Silver Years".

"What do you mean? Where is Concubine Liu Yi?"

Yang Siwei took out several drafts of the script from his bag in a calm and collected manner and placed them in front of director Chen Bing.

"These are the four versions of the script we received from the project launch to the start of filming, until yesterday."

"The producers haven't fulfilled any of the things they promised before, so today, on behalf of Liu Yifei Studio, I'm officially notifying you that if the script issues are not resolved as soon as possible."

"Give us a reasonable response and modify the obviously inappropriate details I marked in the script, and Ms. Liu Yifei will withdraw from the filming."

Chen Bing rubbed his forehead helplessly. He was just a shift leader, and it was not up to him to have the final say in this matter.

Li Liyan, the female production director sent by Huayi, shouted, "Isn't Liu Yifei too arrogant? I'm just doing a favor for my alma mater. Is there any need to make such a big deal out of it?"

"Even South Korea's Jang Nara is hands-on, arriving early every day and speaking softly to the crew. Is she the only one who's special?"

"Tsk, she's just a lucky little girl, it's not Lu Kuang who...ah!"

Li Liyan hadn't finished her last, potentially ambiguous sentence when the fiery Yang Siwei, enraged, hurled her satchel at her face. "Speak your mind, damn it! If you keep saying that, I'll rip your mouth off!"

Yang Siwei is a lot bigger than the other person and is only in his twenties. If they fight, Li Liyan is probably no match for him.

The sharp-nosed and monkey-faced Huayi Production Director sternly scolded him, "Are you crazy? You and your master are no match for each other! Rude!"

She retorted and hid behind the camera.

It was almost time to start filming, and the other cast and crew members were entering the set one after another.

The sound of two women fighting with their heads in the studio was very penetrating, and the students from Beijing Film Academy who passed by were curiously watching the fun.

Chen Bing had no choice but to step forward and act as a peacemaker: "Alright! Stop arguing. Let's report this to the school. There's no point in making a fuss here."

Zhang Nara actually arrived very early, watched the whole process coldly from the side, and went to a secluded place to call Wang Xiaolei.

In the afternoon, the president's office of Beijing Film Academy.

Zhang Huijun listened to Chen Bing's report with a splitting headache. He didn't know how a simple tribute film turned into such a tense situation.

The problem still lies with the producer of Huayi, who repeatedly represented Jang Nara's side to request changes to the script.

"What is Xiao Liu's attitude?"

"She didn't come today. She must have handed the matter over to her agent, Yang Siwei."

Chen Bing smiled bitterly, "Her agent is really good. If I hadn't stopped her, I would have beaten the shit out of that Li Liyan."

"Shut up! You're already the head teacher, and you're still so rude."

Chen Bing was a student he had taught, so their relationship was naturally closer than that between normal superiors and subordinates.

This time, since we didn't invite Lu Kuan, who was very popular in the school, we gave him this job that would bring him face.

I never thought it would become a bomb now.

"Both parties will be here soon, so just tell the truth."

"This matter is not that simple. Don't bring trouble upon yourself."

Chen Bing wondered, "I just heard Li Liyan on the phone. It seems they've invited Gu Lao to come out and talk. They said they want to educate the younger generation of students at the Beijing Film Academy."

"This Xiao Liu will be here later..."

Zhang Huijun shook his head and laughed, "Do you think she's easy to mess with? You don't even consider who the heroine is."

"If he doesn't have the confidence, would Yang Siwei dare to throw his bag at someone from Huayi?"

"Okay, call and ask where everything is. We'll try to solve this problem all at once today."

Just after the agreed time of two o'clock, Yang Siwei and Liu Yifei came in, and the latter greeted Zhang Huijun and Chen Bing politely.

Zhang Huijun looked at her with a smile and said, "Please sit down for a while. Your teacher, Mr. Wang, will be here soon."

"Yes, Principal, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Chen Bing sighed in his heart with emotion. It was all because of the competition for fame and fortune in the entertainment industry that caused all the trouble. Even such a simple little girl was dragged into it.

In less than two minutes, Gu Lao, the living fossil of Beijing Film Academy, walked in with Wang Jingsong, who was bowing and nodding, followed by Jang Nara, Wang Jinhua and Li Liyan.

"Xiao Wang, I was the one who recommended you to stay in school. How could you be so lax about the moral education of your students?"

"Oh, it's a TV show celebrating my alma mater's birthday, and you're still nitpicking about who has more screen time and who has less. Is that reasonable?"

"Don't be like Zhuangzhuang and bring up Lu Kuan, a man who is arrogant because of his talent!"

Wang Jingsong helped him into the office like a grandson, cursing the old thief for his noisy behavior in his heart.

Zhang Huijun did not dare to neglect it either, as the old veterans in the physical field were all extremely troublesome.

You can't be beaten or scolded, the key is that you can't hide away. Can you, Zhang Huijun, run away like a monk or a temple?
At worst, I can just sit in your office every day. I, an old man, receive an allowance from the State Council, which is higher than your salary!

This person had already tried to discredit Lu Kuan last time but failed, but he chose to use the banner of doing good for Beijing Film Academy, making it impossible to refuse his "good intentions".

As soon as Jang Nara entered the room, she saw Liu Yifei holding a teacup in her hand with a calm expression on her face, as if she didn't take the conflict seriously at all.

When they met for the first time, Lu Kuan treated her like "someone else's child" and lectured her, which Jang Nara was not very willing to accept.

Hua Yi's support and the intervention of Zhou Jun, a son of a powerful family, gave her the strength and confidence to compete with Concubine Liu Yi.

This is a market with a population of 13 billion. This time, I must not lose!
"Grandpa Gu, don't be angry, have some tea!"

Jang Nara did a great job in this regard, and she didn't have the airs of a Korean pop diva at all.

She helped Gu Lao to sit down with a smile, then squatted down to carefully make tea for him.

It is very much like the national temperament of the Great Korean Nation, which is servile and power-serving.

"Good, good, good boy, you speak Chinese really well."

"Yes, I have always admired China and Chinese culture. I started learning Chinese in college."

Concubine Liu Yi felt very strange when she saw her expression which did not seem fake.

Isn’t this the new word that Lu Kuan introduced to her on Valentine’s Day?

green tea?

Why are you pretending to respect your teachers and worship Chinese culture?

Ever since Boss Lu opened a new door for her to understand the world, her perspective on things has changed.

By grasping the main contradiction, we can see the essence through the phenomenon.

Gu Lao glanced at Liu Yifei across the sofa with a little dissatisfaction. She had only stood there for a while since he entered the door, without even saying hello.

The difference between her and Jang Nara who bends her legs and pours tea for herself is obvious.

Logically speaking, Xiao Liu is not such a tactless girl. She was just not very happy because the old man said bad things about Lu Kuan before he came in.

It was obvious that the enemy camp's mage or wizard had added buffs, so she was too lazy to play along.

Zhang Huijun and Chen Bing greeted the living fossil of Beijing Film Academy politely, and then talked about today's business.

"Gu Lao, you are the consultant for this TV series. The script is all set in Beijing Film Academy, showcasing the people of Beijing Film Academy."

"What do you think of the disagreements between the two parties regarding the script?"

Comrade Gu Lao is a man who has been able to escape unscathed for ten years, so he is naturally very skillful in speaking.

"Nara is a representative of cultural exchange between China and South Korea. To put it bluntly, her participation in this Beijing Film Academy-themed TV series is to promote us and sing our praises."

"Why would someone give up high-paying movies, TV shows, and concerts to star in a show like 'Silver Years' that pays less than 10,000 yuan per episode?"

Gu Lao sighed deeply, and the wrinkles on his face seemed even deeper.

"Hui Jun, I've reminded you long ago that while students' abilities must be cultivated, moral education is equally important."

"Just like that small road, it's wide, right? Yes, the movie is well made, but I won't talk about the problem of his commercial films being overly entertaining."

"Speaking of him personally, is it reasonable for a young man in his twenties to have such an undisciplined private life?"

"Those with talent but no moral integrity can tarnish the image of the public and the nation even more than those with moral integrity but no talent. Huijun, you must be cautious!"

Concubine Liu Yi sneered in her heart at his taking advantage of his seniority, but she agreed with the criticism of Washing Machine for his improper private life.

Must change!
Zhang Huijun has switched to the empty-ear mode, just let him speak.

Lu Kuan is listed among the leaders of the Film Bureau, Radio, Film and Television, and the Ministry of Central Propaganda. How can he be considered to have tarnished the image of the country?

But there was no need for him to ask back. No matter how he tried to piss off the old man, he would only get himself into trouble.

It's just that he didn't ask, there were plenty of people who came forward to help the washing machine.

"How did Lukuan bring discredit to Beijing Film Academy and the country?"

Gu Lao looked up in surprise, and saw the innocent-looking Concubine Liu Yi smiling at him, unable to believe it.

How dare you ask me back?
"You are Concubine Liu Yi? How come you don't have any manners? Is that how you talk to your teacher?"

Wang Jingsong was trying hard to wink at the students behind him, but the girl opposite him just ignored him!
"I learned a line."

"If the ruler treats his subjects as his own hands and feet, then the subjects will treat the ruler as their own heart and soul. If the ruler treats his subjects as dirt, then the subjects will treat the ruler as their enemy."

"This applies equally to teacher-student relationships. You don't even respect a student director who has made Beijing Film Academy and Chinese culture famous in the West."

"How can you expect me to respect you as you ask me to?"

Gu Lao's face flushed red, and he knocked the crutch in his hand heavily on the ground!
"You're still dragging me down with Wen! What kind of things are they that he films? I won't even mention how the first movie vilified the image of us teachers."

"The second movie, Shoplifters, makes Westerners think that Chinese families are just random criminal correctional institutions!"

"I haven't seen this 'Alien Land' yet, but it's said to be about fighting, bloodshed, and flying flesh. Can it truly represent our culture, beliefs, and national character?"

He pointed at Concubine Liu Yi and said, "Come on, tell me, can you?"

Wow! This is an old master of accusations. He must have shaved people’s heads and confiscated their homes in the past, right?
Unfortunately, Xiao Liu is no longer the Xiao Liu he used to be.

"Gu Lao, are you a party member?"

"Of course, I've been a Party member for 60 years! I've dedicated my entire life to the country, the organization, and education!"

Concubine Liu Yi still looked well-behaved and cute, but every word she said was heartbreaking.

"Well, Lu Kuan's achievements were also reported on the 'News Broadcast,' and what did Leader Luo from the Lian Zhongxuan Department say in the newsletter?"

"He said this is a milestone work that has opened the way for Chinese films and Chinese culture to go global, and he hopes that artists across the country will learn from it and draw lessons from it."

"Gu Lao, you're a Party member. I don't need to explain the nature of this 'News Broadcast,' right? How come your views differ so drastically from those of the organization?"

The little girl looked at Zhang Huijun and Wang Jingsong with a puzzled look on her face: "Principal Zhang, Teacher Wang, who do you think I should believe?"

Zhang Huijun had to pretend to be stern. "Fei Yi, please be careful with your words. This is an old professor from our Beijing Film Academy!"

Wang Jingsong almost couldn't hold back his laughter. He was so angry that he almost took off his underwear and pulled out the rubber band. Damn it!

Zhang Nara's Chinese knowledge is limited, so she was a little confused when she heard it.

Yang Siwei was a little stunned. Faced with Liu Yifei's performance, she didn't know what to say.

His female artists were influenced by Lu Kuan and were transformed into what they are today.

Facing an enemy with a wide road ahead, she transforms into Huang Rong, as cunning as a fox!
Wang Jinhua looked at the scene with a mixture of laughter and tears. It was the first time she met Concubine Liu Yi.

Is this a rising star in the domestic entertainment industry?
She has brought up no less than seventy or eighty artists in her life, and most of the female stars in the entertainment industry are still just vases.

People like Concubine Liu Yi, when she doesn't speak, look like a beautiful vase.

When he starts talking, he seems like he wants to hit you in the face with a vase and make you bleed. He speaks and acts in a rather domineering manner.

Is a vase that is always ready to die with you still a vase?

It's a bit like the style of the young director who brought her to fame.

But Gu Lao was no pushover, and he quickly skipped over the topic that was not in his favor.

"There is no such thing as the best in literature. I have no intention of arguing with a junior like you on this point."

"But speaking objectively, this Silver Years is no longer just our own business at the Beijing Film Academy."

"Nora is an ambassador for cultural exchange between the two countries and shoulders a heavy responsibility. This TV series is an artistic work that embodies the cultural and emotional exchange between the two peoples and is of great significance."

"As a consultant, I also sought opinions from relevant parties before coming here, especially the Wenxuan Department of the Foreign Language Department."

"Director Huijun and Director Xiao Chen, I suggest that you maintain the final plot arrangement and not let personal reasons damage the overall cultural exchange between the two countries!"

You're using the Chinese Department to shut me up, right? I'm also using the Foreign Language Department to put pressure on you!
Little girl, when I was fighting, your dad had probably just learned to walk!
Just as Liu Yifei was about to speak, Yang Siwei interrupted her.

She has to say some unpleasant things so that there won't be no room for maneuver.

"Then we will withdraw from the filming. Please choose another actress for the role of Concubine Yi."

"We discussed liquidated damages when we signed the contract, and we will pay you according to the contract. That's it."

The pay is just a small symbolic amount, and the penalty is not much either, so just consider it as spending money to buy some peace of mind.

This is better than being a supporting role for others.

"Bastard!"

Gu Lao slammed the armrest of his chair. "Do you still have any sense of organization and discipline? Are you, Liu Yifei, still a student in the acting department of Beijing Film Academy?"

"You're celebrating your mother's birthday, and just because you're not allowed a seat at the table, you're going to walk away?"

"Is there such a thing as this in the world?"

Zhang Huijun sighed inwardly. Although Gu Lao was a person who liked to take sides, his words were indeed quite sharp.

No wonder he was able to become a top figure by relying on his pen.

Xiao Liu still has to find Lu Kuan to solve this problem.

Otherwise, a living fossil could ruin her reputation by just giving an interview.

He was given a bad reputation for being impetuous, arrogant, and disrespectful to teachers.

The tolerance for reputation of actresses is not as high as that of directors, which will have an impact on her future development.

Zhang Huijun decided to use a delaying tactic first: "Guo Lao, and everyone else, I think we should leave it at that for today."

"Princess Yi, go back and organize your suggestions for script revisions. Let's go over to Chen Bing's place tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to go over it carefully."

"In the interest of the overall situation, both sides should seek common ground while reserving differences, okay?"

Liu Yifei nodded obediently: "Okay, Principal."

Yang Siwei also thought this was the best way, so he contacted his former boss as soon as he went out.

Close the door! Make way! Bite you bastards to death!

Boss Lu did not answer Yang Siwei's call. He was eating stir-fried beef noodles in a very ordinary Hong Kong tea restaurant.

In early 2003, he met with Zou Chongheng and his wife at Lionsgate headquarters, and now almost two years have passed.

As mentioned earlier, cinema chains are an indispensable part of Lukuan’s film industry chain, and the acquisition of Golden Harvest has an additional benefit, which is the hundreds of Hong Kong classics in Golden Harvest’s film library.

This is the same reason why he arranged for Liu Hong, who had already joined the company, to purchase copyrights at a low price. Both are preparations for future copyright wars.

Accompanying Lu Kuan today is Zhong Lifang, senior vice president of Wenjie.

She was promoted because her abilities in the distribution and marketing of "Love" and Mengniu's sponsorship of "Super Girl" were recognized.

Zhong Lifang watched as her boss, who was worth billions, found a tea restaurant to feast on food, and reported to him with some amusement.

"In the past 15 months, we have launched two tender offers on behalf of Wenjie for Golden Harvest and Mr. Raymond Chow."

"According to the current situation, Golden Harvest's market capitalization is only HK$2500 million, and Zou Wenhuai's personal holdings do not exceed HK$550 million. This market capitalization is underestimated."

"Boss, I think now is the right time to take action."

Lu Kuan was so hungry on the plane that he felt his stomach was sticking to his back. He only felt full after eating a lot of food.

"How did they bargain for the most recent offer?"

"We offered 1.3 million yuan, and Zou Wenhuai countered with 5 million yuan."

Boss Lu smiled and said, "Okay, we can talk about it if we have something to talk about. I'm just afraid he'll hold on to it tightly and won't let go."

Ask for a high price and pay a low price, just don't refuse the offer.

Later, Wu Kebo of Cheng Tian spent 5.3 million Hong Kong dollars to completely control Golden Harvest, but that was in 2009.

Zhong Lifang nodded. "According to the report from the business consulting firm we hired, Zou Wenhuai is almost 80 years old. He no longer has the time and energy to revive Golden Harvest."

"Even more unfortunately, his daughter Zou Chongheng seems to be of mediocre ability. Several shareholders within Golden Harvest are not optimistic about her, and her performance over the past two years has indeed been mediocre."

"Since Zou Chongheng took over, the stock price has plummeted from 2 yuan to a low of 6 yuan. It wasn't until the beginning of this year, when they started construction on the Pengcheng Baoan cinema, that it started to recover somewhat."

Lu Kuan closed his eyes and thought, thinking about the secret that Li Shoucheng had revealed to him before.

Zou Wenhuai is a very sentimental filmmaker. He can sell his shares, but the person must be someone he recognizes.

Because this is the brand he has worked hard for his entire life.

In addition to a satisfactory price, whether the buyer can revive Golden Harvest and avoid bringing shame or decline to the brand is an important consideration.

Lu Kuan looked at his watch and said, "Let's go. It's exactly two o'clock when we get to his house. Let's see what this old man can talk to us about."

No. 41, Cumberland Road, Kowloon Tong, is the Zou family’s mansion covering an area of ​​more than 860 square meters, elegantly known as “Qihe Cottage”.

An old butler who looked to be over sixty years old welcomed them into the house and said, "Please come in, both of you."

This trip came without informing anyone.

One is to enter the village quietly without firing a gun, for fear that someone with ulterior motives will discover his intention to contact Jiahe.

Secondly, the relationship between Golden Harvest and other film companies he was close to, such as Hua Guoxing and Eagle King, was tense, and trying to establish relationships with them would only have a counterproductive effect.

It’s better to get straight to the point and have a heart-to-heart chat with this old filmmaker from the last century.

Just as Li Shoucheng said, as long as he can get his approval, not only his shares, but also the shares of those old friends will not be a problem.

As the two walked along the garden path, the old housekeeper remembered the eldest lady's suggestion and whispered something to the guest.

"Lu Sheng, Miss Zhong, the master had a guest from the mainland a few days ago, and he's here today too."

"Oh?"

Boss Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "Thank you, Butler Chen."

The old butler nodded and said nothing more.

When the two stepped into the living room, Zou Wenhuai's eyes lit up and he stood up to greet them.

"Lu Sheng, I've heard a lot about you."

Boss Lu stepped forward and politely shook hands with him, but his eyes couldn't help but look at the elegant man in a suit sitting on the sofa.

It was Zhou Jun who sought to acquire shares in Wenjie but failed, and who "turned love into hate".
