Pirates began to dominate the Chinese entertainment industry.

Ji Yun followed behind Aunt Liu.

After navigating through many twists and turns backstage, I finally found a private dressing room marked with Liu Yifei's name.

There were two bodyguards at the door dragging a man out.

"Ms. Liu Yifei, please consider this. Our company sincerely invites you to play the leading role. Three million, five million, you name your price, we can discuss it..."

But before he could finish speaking, the man was dragged away by the bodyguards.

Ji Yun's eyelids twitched. Is competition among peers really this fierce now?

His entire crew combined wouldn't be enough to hire her alone.

"Please excuse my behavior. I've been encountering people like this a lot lately, trying to sign a film contract before Sissi's movie is released," Aunt Liu said tactfully to Ji Yun.

Ji Yun nodded in understanding.

At this point, Liu Yifei was practically at the pinnacle of her career, in terms of looks, popularity, influence, potential, and works. She had no rivals among her peers, and many believed she had a chance to break into Hollywood and become an international superstar.

Aunt Liu pushed open the door and went in; there were three people sitting inside.

Liu Yifei was shouting and yelling as she sat in front of the dressing table, turning to watch the TV, which was showing a live broadcast of F1 racing.

She wore a black coat with a fluffy collar, looking like a soft, cuddly kitten. Her face was like a finely sculpted piece of jade, with delicate features and fair skin, every part perfectly proportioned.

A female assistant is tidying up Liu Yifei's clothes.

A male agent was explaining the event arrangements to Liu Yifei.

"Liu Yifei! She's here." Aunt Liu's words immediately calmed the playful Liu Yifei down. She coughed and then asked, "Is she your friend?"

Liu Yifei turned around briefly and was stunned when she saw Ji Yun.

With his striking features, upright posture, and mature yet relaxed aura, he's far more pleasing to the eye than today's popular young actors. It's amazing that this director is so handsome.

Although she wasn't someone who cared about looks, she still subconsciously took a few more glances.

When she realized what was happening, she quickly told her mother, "No, it was a director introduced by Tangren Media who asked me to have a cameo role in a movie."

"Tangren?" Aunt Liu and the male agent were stunned, clearly aware of the past grievances between them.

At this point, the Tang people actually took the initiative to come to us.

The male agent immediately stood up to block Liu Yifei and said, "Hello, I am Yifei's executive agent. What business do you need to discuss with me?"

"Ji Yun, the owner of a new company and also the director of this film, would like to invite Ms. Liu to make a cameo appearance in the movie."

Ji Yun shook hands with him, then took the script out of her bag and handed it to him.

"Boss, director?" The agent stared at Ji Yun, frowned, and gave a contemptuous smile.

The meaning behind that expression is self-evident.

But he didn't say anything more, and opened the script in his hand.

Liu Yifei and Aunt Liu were also taken aback by Ji Yun's identity and came over to take a closer look.

But Liu Yifei didn't watch for long before she heard the commentator's exclamation on TV and rushed back to watch the race, looking like a seasoned racing fan.

The F1 Brazil Grand Prix is ​​being broadcast live on TV.

In the footage, the rain had just stopped, the road was extremely slippery, and the drivers from each team were watching their drivers with tense expressions.

Ji Yun didn't know much about Formula 1 racing, but she had heard of the 2008 race. McLaren's young driver Lewis Hamilton won the world championship by one point, becoming the youngest world champion in Formula 1 history. Ferrari's Brazilian driver Felipe Massa, however, missed the championship in his hometown due to sudden rain and tire problems.

Ji Yun only got to know this legendary driver who broke Schumacher's record after watching movies such as "F1: The Ride" and "Fast & Furious".

He watched it curiously for a while. Although he didn't quite understand it, he still recognized the McLaren and Ferrari logos.

"Overtake him! Overtake him!" Liu Yifei whispered, cheering on the Ferrari drivers.

Ji Yun looked at her thoughtfully. He had seen the news about Liu Yifei spending five million yuan to buy a red Ferrari 458 at the auto show. He hadn't expected her to be a Ferrari fan from F1.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ji, Yifei will not accept this kind of comedy film." The agent put down the script, her tone decisive.

"It's just a cameo, a one- or two-minute scene. Ms. Liu doesn't need to have any comedic scenes," Ji Yun explained. "Besides, don't you think Ms. Liu's appearance alongside Hu Ge and Yang Mi would generate a lot of buzz?"

"Does Yifei still need to generate buzz?" The agent's smile was somewhat arrogant and disdainful, and her tone was completely indifferent.

"Does she have any other work now?" Ji Yun asked bluntly.

"..." The agent's smile vanished, replaced by a stiff expression. "This is only temporary. Once the movie is released, no one will be able to control her."

"Do you think this movie will not only be a success, but it will also help her break into Hollywood?" Ji Yun didn't mince words with him and laughed dismissively. "I think it's impossible."

Liu Yifei suddenly quieted down and turned around with Aunt Liu to stare at Ji Yun.

Liu Yifei glanced at her mother and looked at Ji Yun with some admiration.

This was the first time she had met such a brave boy, and he looked even younger than her.

"How could that be! The popularity of 'The Forbidden Kingdom' is undeniable." The agent still tried to defend him, "What gives Mr. Ji the right to say that!"

"I have my own judgment." Seeing the other person's dismissive expression, Ji Yun didn't rush to argue. Instead, she turned to Liu Yifei and asked, "You support Ferrari?"

"Yes." Liu Yifei nodded blankly.

I think it will lose.

"Why?!" Liu Yifei pouted.

Ji Yun smiled. "It's just a gut feeling."

"How could that be!" Liu Yifei exclaimed anxiously when she heard Ji Yun deny her favorite racing team.

"Ferrari is currently in first place overall, and Massa is racing on home soil. Even if the second or third-placed teams overtake him, his points total will still secure him the championship!"

When Liu Yifei talked about this, she spoke at length.

Unfortunately, Ji Yun had the ability to foresee the future.

He knew that the one who would beat the leader wasn't the second or third, but the young McLaren driver who was currently in seventh place.

Ji Yun blinked, looking at the angry Liu Yifei without arguing.

Seeing that Ji Yun had no reaction, Liu Yifei felt like she was venting her anger on cotton. Her cheeks puffed out in frustration, and with her hands on her model-like waist, she could only sullenly turn her head away and continue watching the game.

She'll wait until the Ferrari driver wins the championship to prove this man wrong. Just like in "The Forbidden Kingdom," neither she nor the protagonist will lose!

"Mr. Ji, now that we've finalized the deal for this movie, let's have another opportunity to collaborate." The agent gestured towards the door, indicating that Ji Yun should leave.

"This isn't just about one movie," Ji Yun laughed. "The same tactics we used against Tangren Media during the 'Chinese Paladin' era are now being used against Huayi Brothers, simultaneously offending two of the biggest film and television companies. That's not a good sign. Does this mean Miss Liu is going to go to Hollywood and never come back?"

"Of course not!" Aunt Liu suddenly interrupted. "Hollywood is the end of her career. But Sisi's home is in China, so she will naturally come back."

"What if you're blacklisted by both of these major film and television companies, one in the north and one in the south?" Seeing that the two were speechless, Ji Yun continued, "Now there's an opportunity. You only need to spend a day or two making a cameo appearance to help Miss Liu and Tangren reconcile. Such opportunities are rare."

Aunt Liu and the male agent fell silent, frowning as they considered the pros and cons.

Liu Yifei sat silently to the side, not daring to speak.

She was initially a little angry, but now she suddenly thought her younger brother was really cool, that he could actually suppress the two big devils around her.

How about we get to know each other again?
