In the entertainment industry, everyone has been reborn, but who will be their servant?

Chapter 74 The Smell Was Deafening
Since the publisher had already paid Qin Xuan $10,000 in copyright fees, which is about 70,000 yuan, he spent 60,000 yuan to buy a used Audi A6 with a longer age and higher mileage, an automatic transmission.

This is his personal money, not company money, so he can spend it as he pleases.

It's not appropriate for him to keep riding his electric scooter. He's a person of status, so he'll use this scooter for a while, and then give it to his younger cousin after he finishes translating it. He said it would cost 20 yuan, since the cousin wouldn't understand it anyway.

Then, when I earn money, I'll buy something even better.

This meeting was arranged by Mr. Wang. Since he's the one who arranges the meeting, it must be a high-end place. It's No. 26 Weijia Hutong, where there's an old courtyard house in the ancient city.

They say they serve imperial cuisine, which is incredibly impressive.

Qin Xuan, dressed in a suit and tie, parked his car in the courtyard parking lot and saw Old Wang getting out of a van, accompanied by two entourage members.

This big shot is always followed by people.

"President Xuan, did you buy a new car?" Old Wang stepped forward and examined it with great interest, even touching it with his hand: "It looks like an old one!"

"It's secondhand. I'll wait until you return to the capital to help out. You're truly a benefactor," Qin Xuan said with a hint of resentment.

"You should have said so earlier, I would have given you one for free." Old Wang smiled broadly, appearing very generous.

Qin Xuan didn't believe his nonsense. If he really wanted to give it away, he would have done so when the box office exceeded 90 million.

"Come on, the red wine braised beef and confit duck leg here are pretty good, let's try them." Old Wang patted him on the shoulder, gesturing for him to go inside.

The two entered the courtyard and arrived at the classical and elegant front yard, where red bricks and green tiles, and a magnolia garden, exuded a classic and antique charm.

It occupies a large area and looks quite impressive.

The two wandered through the covered walkways, turning and twisting, with lush flowers and plants on both sides. Qin Xuan asked curiously, "Whose residence was this before?"

"It's Zaifeng's residence, the biological father of the last emperor, the regent, who is said to have lived there in his later years." Old Wang seemed to know quite a bit about it.

Qin Xuan chatted casually, "In the entertainment industry, there are some old fogies who like to expose the secrets of their former masters. Little do they know that the more they reveal, the more curious people become. Once they open it up, they find it's just a cesspool."

"Hahaha, you really aren't afraid of trouble!" Old Wang laughed loudly.

I understand what he means: there are too many dramas about the Qing Dynasty, such as "Kangxi Emperor," "Yongzheng Dynasty," "Qianlong Dynasty," and all sorts of TV series and movies.

It's said that those people went to film "Empresses in the Palace" again.

The more films are made, the more people learn about them, but after learning about them, people will look up information to see if these people are really so wise and capable.

To my surprise, when I opened it, it smelled terrible.

"Where did this country bumpkin come from, speaking such vulgar and uncivilized language?"

The sudden sound startled Qin Xuan and Old Wang. They turned around and saw a group of people appearing at the corner of the corridor.

Both Wang Da and Wang Xiao were present, as were Fang Long, Li Lianjie, Li Bailian, and Liu Yifei, along with several middle-aged men with distinguished bearing; they must have some capital.

For example, Jiang Nanchun, these are the capital behind Huayi.

Jiang Nanchun specializes in advertising, such as elevators and the advertisements in shopping malls and buildings outside. He is also a businessman from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Including someone I know, Shi Yuzhu.

To put it bluntly, it's the Taishan Club. Boss Wang is a member of the Taishan Club, otherwise he wouldn't have such a good relationship with Jack Ma.

Taishan Association has a unique characteristic: it does not engage in real industry.

"Where did this wild boar come from, squealing and beating around like that?" Qin Xuan retorted without backing down.

"Who the hell are you calling a wild boar?" Little Wang pointed, clearly indignant after hearing him describe a cesspool.

"Did I say who? Why are you in such a hurry to admit it?" Qin Xuan shrugged.

Old Wang, standing nearby, squinted, a slight smile playing on his lips, clearly enjoying the spectacle. He was quick-witted, never falling into the trap of self-justification, but instead launching a counter-attack.

The others also looked him over and scrutinized him, since most of the people here had never seen Qin Xuan before, including Little Boss Wang. Only Big Boss Wang and Fang Long had seen him.

I can only say that Li Lianjie and Li Bailian look familiar, but I've never met them.

At first, Liu Yifei was quite surprised to see Qin Xuan and thought of greeting him, but seeing the tense atmosphere between them, she had no choice but to give up.

After all, she's currently promoting "The Forbidden Kingdom".

"Believe it or not, I'll kill you." Little Wang rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight him.

"Come on! Let's see if I, a country bumpkin, am more powerful, or you, a wild boar!" Qin Xuan ripped off his tie and arrogantly challenged him to a duel.

Seeing these two seemingly disregarding their image and actually about to fight, everyone present was stunned. They hadn't even exchanged two words yet, and this was all too abrupt!

Having no choice but to pull the person back, Fang Long advised, "Forget it, Mr. Wang, don't take it to heart with a child."

"That's right, why are you getting angry with him? You're so old." Boss Wang also advised.

The implication of this advice is that Qin Xuan is like a child, and you could treat him like an elder.

Don't assume that a boss wearing a suit and tie is a sign of good manners. The higher up a person is, the more direct they are; they don't hesitate to curse or even hit people.

If you don't believe me, look at thousands of years of history—hasn't it all been about luring people here and then killing them?

There aren't that many conspiracies and tricks.

Liu Yifei had just witnessed Qin Xuan's arrogant side!
They used to be quite polite and courteous to them.

"Yes, why would I get angry with a nobody? It would be beneath my dignity." Mr. Wang withdrew his hand and straightened his suit.

"Why would I fight a wild boar? I've forgotten I'm a human being." Qin Xuan said this on purpose.

These words infuriated Xiao Wang, and his brother also disapproved of this person's behavior.

"Young sir, don't use wild boars so casually. You should watch your words. Harsh words will bring you bad karma," Li Lianjie lectured like a great monk.

This guy is like that; he likes to talk about what Buddha is like, and he talks about it with great passion.

"I'm stating the facts. If you don't believe me, go look up the history, or search for 'wild boar skin' on Baidu. The internet will tell you what it means. Of course, if I'm wrong, I'll apologize to Buddha." Qin Xuan glanced at the group and then stared intently at Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei was also looking at him, and the two stared at each other, as if they were communicating silently.

Qin Xuan then left, and Old Wang also left with him.

"Damn it, you dog slave!" Little Wang spat on the ground.

Those around him looked displeased by his behavior, since there were many people there, and he was insulting them as well.

However, no one said anything. If you put yourself in their shoes, it feels like you're admitting it yourself. Just assume he was cursing Qin Xuan.

Over there, Old Wang always said, "Very brave!"

"Isn't this exactly what you wanted to see, for Wanda to be at the forefront of this industry?" Qin Xuan said indifferently.

Later, the relationship between Huayi Brothers, Bona Film Group, and Enlight Media also soured, with each side constantly mocking and subtly criticizing the other.

The new images aren't meant to criticize everyone.

Rivals are rivals. Look at those mobile phone companies and the new car manufacturers, there's all sorts of open and covert competition and mutual underhanded tactics.

When they get criticized, they say it's because a competitor bought suicide soldiers, and they get really angry.
