Feng Shui Secrets of the Entertainment Industry

"OK!"

Hu Ke was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Old Lin, you're a true friend!"

"What more needs to be said about our relationship!" Fatty Lin said with a smile.

The rest of the time was spent chatting with Hu Ke and Wang Zixuan, which made the frustration caused by Longtian Jiro and his lackeys less.

After the show ended, Hu Ke stretched and said, "Old Lin, Thirteen, Ni'er, let's go. Tonight it's my treat. Let's find an authentic local restaurant, have some home-style dishes, drink a few drinks, and chat!"

"Hey Fatty, you guys have been in Shanghai for days, haven't tried any local restaurants yet? Let's go, let's go together!"

Before we could even say no, Wang Zixuan also invited us.

"Alright, let's try the local cuisine then!" Fatty Lin smiled knowingly and winked at Wang Zixuan.

After leaving the convention center, led by Hu Ke, our group went to a long-established local Shanghainese private restaurant in Jing'an.

At the dinner table, we didn't talk about anything else, just a little gossip about some recent news in the industry.

For example, the story of Gong Ziyi, Xie Xiaohu's second child, and Liang Bixin giving birth to Li's grandson.

We chatted about everything under the sun until after nine o'clock before we finally broke up.

As they left the venue, Hu Ke glanced at the time and smiled, saying, "I'm going back to the hotel to rest. There's a new film promotion event tomorrow, so I need to be well-rested. Are you guys free to do your own thing, or...?"

As Hu Ke spoke, she glanced at Fatty Lin and Wang Zixuan.

"Let's go back to the hotel too!" Fatty Lin said, slightly drunk.

Wang Zixuan didn't say anything, but simply hugged Lin Pangzi's arm.

The next morning, I had just gotten up when Fatty Lin came back.

"Holy crap, it's only six o'clock, why are you back already?"

I thought I was seeing a ghost, so I took a second look at Fatty Lin.

"Zixuan has an event today and needs to get up early to do her makeup!" Fatty Lin yawned and said, "I was up until 2 a.m. last night, I'm so sleepy!"

"Why don't you just fall asleep to death!"

I said irritably.

"Fatty, you're really living the high life!" Long Nier rolled her eyes at Fatty Lin and said.

"I can't argue with you two!"

Fatty Lin threw himself onto the bed and said, "You guys get ready, I'm going to take a nap. Wake me up when you leave!"

At 8:30, we arrived at the convention center.

On the fourth day of the film festival, unlike the forums and talent showcases of the previous two days, the focus shifted to industry transactions, project signings, and negotiations on overseas co-productions.

Today should be considered the most crucial day of the entire film festival, the day when Jiro Tatsuta and others finalized projects and confirmed co-production deals.

Upon entering the convention center, we noticed that the atmosphere today was somewhat different from the previous three days. There was no noisy forum for newcomers, nor any flashy short film screenings.

The atmosphere in the entire trading and signing area was somber, with directors and producers from major film and television companies, as well as overseas delegations, coming and going.

The core focus today is not on celebrities and big names, but on concrete project implementation, capital signings, and finalizing overseas co-productions.

Our goal was very clear: to defeat the Japanese representative team led by Jiro Tatsuta.

As usual, Director Li stayed by our side, telling us which company had completed which transaction, which film they had sold, and which film they had imported.

We responded with hums and haws, occasionally chiming in, but our main attention was on Ryūta Jirō and the other Japanese.

"Damn it, those two lackeys, they really think they're Japanese!"

After watching for a while, Fatty Lin couldn't hold back and started cursing.

Even if he doesn't curse, I'll want to curse too.

Fatty Lin was referring to the two directors who were supposed to guide Jiro Tatsuta. When we arrived, they were already standing by the Japanese team. Once it started, they were busy helping the Japanese team connect with various domestic investors, exaggerating their abilities to the skies.

"There are many people in China who fawn over Japan, and these two are just a part of them!" Director Li also disapproved, but he couldn't join in the criticism, so he could only say this.

"Um!"

Long Nier gave a soft snort, her eyes darkening.

"We'll talk about it when we get back!" I squeezed her hand, afraid that Long Ni'er might say something about using a curse.

"Brother, I understand!"

Long Nier let out a breath.

After learning what Wu Yu had done, Long Nier had already told us that she would go back and prepare a kind of Gu. After being infected by the Gu, one could live a normal life during the day, but at night, one would feel as if ten thousand ants were gnawing at one's heart.

She wanted to make Wu Yusheng wish he were dead.

When dealing with someone, death is the best way to end things; a fate worse than death is the ultimate punishment.

The main issue is that since Director Li is around, there are some things that are difficult or inconvenient to say.

Our plan is to wait until the film festival controversy has passed, and then secretly cast a spell on Wu Yu.

"Hey, something's not right. Look at that Jiro Tatsuta, his smile looks a bit stiff!"

Half an hour later, Fatty Lin suddenly tugged at me and gestured towards Ryuta Jiro.

I was just watching those two lackeys who were communicating with the domestic investors when Fatty Lin said that, and I turned my gaze and sure enough, I noticed something was wrong.

Although Jiro Tatsuta and his entourage maintained their refined and humble smiles, the smiles were merely superficial and stiff, and there was no sense of ease or joy in their eyes after the cooperation was finalized.

On the contrary, I saw a hint of impatience and melancholy in his eyes.

Upon seeing this, I knew that things had changed.

Not only him, but the expressions of the Japanese staff behind him were also not good. They whispered to each other from time to time, and their displeasure was hard to hide.

Only those two lackeys didn't notice anything amiss and were still making arrangements for their Japanese fathers!

"That's definitely not right."

I nodded and whispered, "They were all so cocky yesterday, but now that the project is about to be finalized, why do they all have this expression?"

"Something might have gone wrong!"

Director Li thought for a moment and said, "I'll make a phone call and find out."

"Okay, Brother Li, you go ahead!" Fatty Lin nodded.

"Fatty, do you think it was Second Master who made a move?"

As soon as Director Li left, I immediately said...

"That's possible!" Fatty Lin's eyes lit up.

Five minutes later, Director Li returned, looking radiant.

"Brother Li, is there any news?" I asked.

"Um!"

Director Li glanced in the direction of Jiro Tatsuta and his group and said, "I called and asked. They said there was a last-minute meeting at the higher-ups to discuss the possibility of a collaboration between Great Xia and Japan on a folk culture film project. In principle, we can cooperate, but we need to carefully consider the details. We must maintain Great Xia's image in cultural exchanges with the outside world and continue to maintain a friendly and cooperative attitude."

"Oh!"

I burst out laughing when I heard this official jargon.

The so-called "cooperation is possible in principle" is actually "cooperation is not possible".
