The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 38 He is a master of dreams!

……

"Ayuan, Brother Yuan, Master Yuan...you are so awesome!"

"Just now, when you said, 'Have you heard of Siri?' At that moment, Mr. Zhao's expression was simply amazing!"

"Speaking of which, what does this word even mean? Where did you hear that? That's totally awesome!"

On the way back, Xin Yukun almost placed Lu Zhiyuan on the Buddhist shrine.

If it weren't for the fact that Lu Zhiyuan didn't like going to any social parties, Xin Yukun would definitely arrange a dozen young models for Lu Zhiyuan tonight to serve him well.

After returning home, Lu Zhiyuan went into the bathroom to take a shower.

When he came out of the shower, he found Xin Yukun sitting on the sofa with a calculator in his hand, figuring something out.

Lu Zhiyuan walked over while wiping his hair and gave him a strange look: "Brother Kun, it's already this late, and you haven't left the house yet? There's something wrong with you today."

Brother Kun would never stay at home after 8 o'clock in the evening.

Before 8 o'clock in the morning, you will never see Brother Kun at home.

He even changed his QQ nickname. The new nickname is [The Dream of 6 Million Girls]!
——Based on the world's population of 80 billion, young people aged 10 to 19 account for 16%, or about 12.8 billion, and women account for 49%, which is at most 6.3 million.

Although Brother Kun is a bit arrogant, he considers himself a cultured person and never makes any bold statements like talking about the dreams of 9 million girls.

"Today, I am suspending my poverty alleviation work."

Xin Yukun took the account book and calculated it for Lu Zhiyuan: "Ayuan, suppose that the guarantee given by President Zhao is valid and you win the Best Director award. Do you know how much money we can make?"

“Should be quite a few, right?”

Lu Zhiyuan hadn’t calculated the specific amount.

But an apartment in Yanjing City is not a big problem.

"Of course."

Xin Yukun counted on his fingers for Lu Zhiyuan: "If we win the prize, our net worth will increase tenfold. It's like playing."

"For 'The Heart', our director's fee was 30 yuan, which I thought was quite a lot at the time. From now on, if he doesn't get 300 million, we won't even let him see the camera."

"Besides that, I don't know how much the French will give as a bonus once we win. However, the Yanjing government has a special reward for international A-level awards. I asked someone, and it's 300 million."

"Besides this, the film 'Labyrinth of the Heart' may become a teaching material for the Beijing Film Academy's School of Photography... From now on, both of us will be honorary alumni, with direct protection from the gods!"

"Those beautiful girls from Beijing Film Academy... we can ask them out anytime, no matter how late it is. These are all hidden benefits."

Xin Yukun said this as he took out his cell phone.

There are a few text messages above, and he calls me [Brother Kun] so sweetly. It’s obvious that this is the invisible benefit he mentioned.

"Brother Kun, I finally understand why you didn't go out today."

Looking at the sweet words from the school girls on his phone, Lu Zhiyuan finally understood.

No matter how pretty the young models out there are, they are definitely not as pretty as the girls from Beijing Film Academy.

It seems that Brother Kun has passed the stage of being so hungry that he will eat anything and has started to pursue high quality.

However, Lu Zhiyuan couldn't help but pour cold water on Brother Kun: "You'd better send me these phone numbers. You won't need them."

“Why can’t I use it?”

Xin Yukun was full of confusion. Although he was not as handsome as Lu Zhiyuan, he was still a standout among directors.

After all, he is not yet 25 years old this year.

Even in the acting circle, at this age, people can still call him a fresh meat.

Lu Zhiyuan pointed at himself and said, "Because I'm the Best Director."

Xin Yukun was stunned for a moment and was speechless.

Depend on!
Happy early!

……

Starry Star Company.

"Boss, have you checked it out? Is Apple really planning to acquire Siri Inc?"

After Zhao Shanshan came back, she immediately relayed what Lu Zhiyuan said to the company boss Lu Zheng.

The road administration immediately mobilized its extensive network of contacts and contacted some investment banks, analysis companies, and sources on Wall Street in the United States.

Try every possible means to find out the news.

Not long after, he received a vague message.

So shocked.

Lu Zhiyuan was right!

In response to Zhao Shanshan's question, Lu Zheng nodded with a complicated tone: "Siri lnc is indeed in contact with Apple."

"If Ayuan's analysis is correct, Apple is very likely to deeply integrate Siri, the artificial intelligence assistant, into its mobile phone system." "The artificial intelligence assistant is very likely to be a promotional highlight for a future generation of Apple phones."

Lu Zheng is a qualified businessman.

Although he is not a professional in the film industry, he can imagine that once Apple launches the Siri project, it will definitely cause a sensation in the mobile phone market.

"Ayuan, what a genius."

"Not only does he have unique insights in the field of art, but unexpectedly, his ideas in the field of technology also coincide with those of a large company like Apple."

"He was even able to predict Apple's plans in advance."

Previously, Lu Zheng admired Lu Zhiyuan's film-making ability and artistic aesthetics, but he always felt that Lu Zhiyuan was a crazy artist.

But now it seems that is not the case.

He also has his own extraordinary insights in the field of science and technology.

What a special young man.

"Boss, so, Ayuan's film project has a good chance of success?"

Zhao Shanshan is not that interested in things in the field of science and technology. She just wants to run the Starry Sky company well and make Jing Tian a big star.

Lu Zhiyuan was just a casual chess piece she placed.

And now, in less than a few months, this idle chess piece can almost help her slay the dragon!
What a surprise!

"It's not just possible to succeed...it's absolutely possible to succeed!"

Lu Zheng couldn't help but laugh, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

"Shanshan, do you still remember?"

"When we first started working on the film 'Maze of the Heart,' Ayuan told us he would be the first person in the world to shoot a theatrical film with a DSLR!"

"And the Canon 5D2 will become the world's first SLR camera suitable for shooting theatrical films."

"With this gimmick, he easily lured Canon on board. Now, Canon has no choice but to help him with public relations with the judges in Europe, spending money like water..."

Of course, Canon is voluntary.

If we were to ask, at this moment in time, who in the world most hopes that Lu Zhiyuan can achieve something in Cannes?

It’s definitely not Lu Zhiyuan himself.

It’s not the company called Starry Sky.

Instead, it was Canon who paid huge public relations fees for this!
This is the first time in history!

Canon, must win!
"Ayuan, from some angles, you really look like a liar."

"He used the title 'Historical First' to weave a beautiful dream for Canon, making the company willingly pay a large amount of marketing fees for him and help him pursue the Best Director award."

"Now, it's Apple's turn to be the victim."

"But will Apple pass up this opportunity to make history?"

"The best director selected by Cannes will be asked to make a commercial for them. And they only need to pay a few million dollars, at most $1000 million."

"Even these investments can be recovered by more than half through the movie box office. If we're lucky, we might even make a profit at the box office."

Who can resist such temptation?

Lu Zheng thought about it and thought that if he were Steve Jobs, he would not hesitate for a second when he heard such good news.

He's probably already taken out a pen and started signing checks!
Lu Zhiyuan wants to make a science fiction movie, hoping that this science fiction movie can enter Hollywood and be released all over the world using Hollywood's publicity system.

It is absolutely impossible through normal means.

But if he jumped on the big ship of Apple...things would immediately become simple.

of course!

The premise of all this is that Lu Zhiyuan must win an award in Cannes.

Otherwise, even if an unknown little director tells Apple a wonderful story, will the other party listen?

The most likely outcome is disdain.

But if it is the best director award winner at Cannes, the right to speak is completely different.

If it were me, I would definitely be willing to take a gamble.

"One day the roc rises with the wind and soars ninety thousand miles away!"

"Shanshan, go make the call... Use all the connections we have to get Ayuan the Best Director award at Cannes!"

Lu Zhiyuan gave him a huge surprise.

The road administration department doesn't mind giving Lu Zhiyuan a push at the critical moment to help him fly higher!

They are always generous to their own people!
