Pirates began to dominate the Chinese entertainment industry.

Chapter 40 Interview with Awesome Syndrome

Liu Shishi had no way to deal with Ji Yun anymore.

She could only hide in his arms, clinging tightly and refusing to let go, glancing up at him every now and then and sighing.

Xiao Zhao and the others were also powerless to face this cataclysmic situation, sitting dejectedly in their chairs, lost in thought. "Fine, let it be. Let it be destroyed."

Ji Yun smiled and, having heard that "life is more exciting when you're brave," picked up the mouse, ready to continue the battle.

A text message appeared on my phone.

[Liu Yifei: You're welcome, that was so cool. Don't call me yet, my mom's banging on the door. *kiss*]

This girl is really crazy. She can't even take care of herself, yet she still has the mood to go online and send text messages.

Ji Yun glanced at her phone and smiled.

"Ah! Liu Yifei is being interviewed." Zhao Liying stood up abruptly, holding her phone.

All eyes were on Ji Yun.

What's going on?

Ji Yun paused, her gaze falling on Liu Yifei's text message, before turning to refresh Baidu.

Sure enough, I saw the headline of Liu Yifei's interview on the trending topics list.

Ji Yun clicked on the interview, which was very brief. It was Liu Yifei answering a few questions from the swarming reporters at a promotional event a few minutes earlier.

Are you dating?

No, we just met. I ran into a fan's wedding yesterday, so I wanted to surprise them.

Do you have feelings for him?

[He's really a great guy. If I were to date in the future, I'd probably choose someone like him. (Liu Yifei chuckles)]

So, you're pursuing him?

[The topic was changed.]

[Do you know about the recent online argument between that person and director John Woo on her blog? (The reporter showed her screenshots.)]

[Liu Yifei frowned, thought for a moment, and said seriously: ) He is a very good person, there must be a reason for saying that.]

So, you chose to support him out of the two of them?!

[Liu Yifei had just nodded when her agent hurriedly pulled her away.]

The comments section exploded.

"Did Liu Yifei publicly declare her love?? She dares to say that? Isn't she afraid of offending an internationally renowned director and giving up on going to Hollywood?"

"Fans of the celestial beauty, the sky has fallen."

"Where did this bastard come from? Die!"

What's it like to be the man of a celestial being?

What's it like to steal a celestial beauty's man?

"Three of the Tianxian fan sites disbanded in 5 minutes. Tianxian is in danger."

"Damn, even gods are going crazy. They'd give up their careers for a man. This couple is insane."

……

This girl was the first to stand up for Ji Yun when she was embroiled in scandals and should have been overwhelmed with troubles. The person opposite her was the Hollywood director she had always dreamed of working with!

Zhao Liying stared at Ji Yun in disbelief, speechless for a long time.

He's not only a madman, but also a Casanova. He even drove Liu Yifei crazy.

"Boss, you and Liu Yifei really..." Xiao Zhao glanced at Liu Shishi, but didn't dare to continue.

Liu Shishi huddled in Ji Yun's arms, shivering from the cold.

That chubby-faced girl, so what if she's a big star? Daring to steal her man in public. If she weren't currently unknown, she'd want to go after that girl with the toothbrush. She, Little Lion, isn't someone to be bullied.

The one who should be standing up for Ji Yun now is her!

She needs to work! She needs to become famous! If she doesn't become famous soon, she won't even have a man anymore!

At this moment, Liu Shishi's ambition reached an unprecedented peak.

"Didn't you realize? She's in unrequited love." Ji Yun shrugged.

Although he was quite surprised, he understood it when he thought about the other person's "boastful interviewing" personality.

Liu Shishi's eyes lit up, and she suddenly looked up, her eyes almost moist as she looked at Ji Yun.

"Pah! Shameless! That's Liu Yifei, my God!"

Xiao Zhao pursed his lips and thought to himself, "Maybe I should also find a place to enroll in an acting class."

How exactly does Xiao Ji manage to have one man in her arms while another is openly professing his love for her in public?

Before he could figure it out, his older sister Zhao Liying slapped him on the head and gave him a dangerous look.

Xiao Zhao felt so wronged that he couldn't even be envious.

He glanced at Ji Yun, "Boss, how about we adjust this one too?"

Ji Yun didn't have time to pay attention to his inner monologue.

Returning to Wu Yusen's post, Liu Yifei was just a side story; he could still fight even without help.

[High school students are envious that I got into university, right? I heard Hollywood dumped you, so you came back to China to scam money? Splitting a movie into two parts definitely makes it easier to rake in cash, huh?]

"..." The people around Ji Yun were already numb, sitting around her watching the live broadcast. Their bodies were standing, but their hearts were kneeling.

This time, John Woo replied even faster:

[At home, you may lack parental guidance, but in your industry, experienced mentors will teach you how to be a person.]

Liu Shishi's heart skipped a beat, and she carefully observed Ji Yun's expression.

Ji Yun's face was gloomy, and his eyes flashed with a cold flame that chilled her to the bone.

To actually bring up Ji Yun's deceased parents was so malicious that even Liu Shishi, an outsider, found it inappropriate. Once those words were uttered, the nature of the matter changed.

Ji Yun chuckled coldly and typed out:

My film cost 500 million, yours cost 6 million. I won't cheat you. I'll release our film on the same date, and then we'll see who makes more money. Whether you're an industry veteran or not, let your performance speak for itself.

[John Woo: I will teach you how to make movies, and even more importantly, I will teach you how to be a person.]

……

The way the others looked at Ji Yun changed.

At that moment, he was simply a god of war.

The war of words has temporarily come to an end.

Ji Yun put down the keyboard and read the comments with a blank expression.

In his past life, he was most annoyed by these old fogies who controlled resources.

What seniors and juniors? They keep spouting that outdated, shady culture of the underworld. All they care about is money. What are they pretending to be big shots for?

It's just a money-losing film, *Red Cliff*. If it gets any more outrageous, we'll expose it completely.

As long as you have the capital, you can shut someone down; if they disagree, just fight them.

Even after being reborn, I'm still being bullied. I might as well find a truck to take me back home.

"Boss, you've stirred up a hornet's nest. There are a lot of big stars in the movie 'Red Cliff,' they're definitely going to target you."

Moreover, the production companies behind it are Orange Sky and China Film Group. Orange Sky is based in Shanghai, and it has a bunch of stars under Wang Jinghua's management. What if...?

As someone in the industry, Zhao Liying knows a lot about these things.

Orange Sky Entertainment is backed by Japanese capital. Especially after poaching Wang Jinghua from Huayi Brothers, they brought in a large number of stars such as Chen Daoming, Liang Jiahui, and Liu Jialing, which directly paralyzed Huayi Brothers.

Last year, they made a big move by acquiring Hong Kong film giant Golden Harvest, instantly becoming a leading company in the Chinese film and television industry.

A small company like Tiandao Culture is no match for this tiger.

Ji Yun, on the contrary, thought it was a good thing: "Doesn't that mean our movie will be a huge hit?"

Seeing that Liu Shishi and the others were still flustered, Ji Yun smiled and said, "Tell me, how much is our movie budget?"

"500 million," Xiao Zhao said.

"What about the actual investment?"

"More than two million, I guess." As the accountant, Sister Li knew best.

"How much did they invest?"

"6 million!"

"Who's afraid of losing out?" Ji Yun laughed dismissively.

It's a small company, what does he have to be afraid of?

Upon hearing this, Liu Shishi and the others thought, "Hmm, that seems to make some sense."

The loss won't be much; at worst, you can just switch accounts and start over. But if you make a profit, you'll become an overnight sensation and a big name in the entertainment industry, while the other party will suffer a huge loss and get their fame used for nothing.

The risks and costs are minimal, but the benefits are substantial.

The group became excited, eager to finish filming and release the movie so they could have a real fight with them.

Ji Yun clapped her hands, interrupting their daydreams, "Alright, hurry up and pack your things, let's go."

"Has work started yet?" Xiao Zhao asked with unusual enthusiasm.

"Let's move to a different location for now. Who knows if those fans can find us here?" Ji Yun said irritably. "I've never seen you work this much before."
