Huayu: Just started as a stagehand, but the director's comeback system
Chapter 38 Instant Karma
Jiang Huai's guess was correct. At this moment, Lu Chuan was hiding in his study, where the usually bright room was now completely dark.
Lu Chuan stared at the phone, unable to reach Zhang Jun by phone. He could no longer contain his anger and smashed his phone on the ground.
Ever since the news of the divorce broke, Lu Chuan has been convinced that the other party had asked reporters to leak the information; otherwise, the other party would never have agreed to the divorce so quickly.
Lu Chuan, who was smashing a vase in his study, heard his phone ring and assumed that Zhang Jun knew he was wrong.
But when he picked up the phone, he found that the caller was his own father.
"Dad, you must have a way to help me, right?"
Lu Chuan had called Lu Tianming before, but the other party hung up after angrily cursing him.
However, his father should have changed his mind now. After all, they are father and son bound by blood, and Zhang Jun is just an outsider no matter what.
"What am I supposed to say?! You wouldn't listen to my advice back then, what's the use of regretting it now!"
Lu Tianming truly wished he didn't have this son, but unfortunately, he only had one son, Lu Chuan, and what could he do now if he didn't care?
"Dad, I really know I was wrong. Now only you can help me. I was blinded by greed back then. We can remarry now, but that woman Zhang Jun keeps ignoring my calls."
"What are you still dreaming about? The Zhang family is practically pointing their fingers at me and cursing me. You still want to remarry? You should book your plane ticket abroad right now and don't come back for the next few years."
Upon hearing his son's unwitting words, Lu Tianming disregarded his wife's attempts to dissuade him and scolded Lu Chuan again.
The day Zhang Jun returned home, her father called Lu Tianming, and the two had been friends for decades because of this marriage.
Now that Lu Chuan dares to mention Zhang Jun, Lu Tianming wishes he could immediately go to his side and beat him up.
"Dad, I misspoke. I'll book the plane tickets right now. Only you can help me now."
"Get out of here, and don't come back without my call."
Lu Tianming didn't want to hear Lu Chuan's next words. He knew his son too well. Lu Chuan didn't know he was wrong; he knew his future was ruined.
Sigh, I don't know whose personality my son inherited, that he can be so stupid.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Tianming asked his wife to find a notebook full of phone numbers. He searched through it for a long time before finally deciding to make the call.
"My former boss is my name."
"Tianming, how have you been lately?"
"Thanks to you, old leader, I've been feeling fine lately, it's just that my son..."
"Tianming, I should say a few words to you about this. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. It's the new century now, so we old folks shouldn't worry too much."
"I understand, sir. I will visit you in the capital when you have time."
Lu Tianming put down the phone he was holding, looked at his wife's expectant gaze, and could only sigh.
The old leader didn't beat around the bush with him anymore and directly rejected him, clearly wanting Lu Chuan to divert the media attention from the Golden Rooster Awards.
"Old Lu, should we look for someone else?"
"Who else can I turn to? I brought this on myself."
Even though Lu Tianming could tell that the biggest beneficiary of this incident was Jiang Huai who leaked the information, he still had the other party's grandfather's contact information.
Even if we could contact the Jianghuai region, it would probably be useless now, and how could we possibly retrieve the detonated landmines?
Now, Lu Chuan has no choice but to bear the consequences himself.
……
"Brother Huai, guess who I saw at the airport?"
Huang Bo returned to the capital today and heard that Jiang Huai is in love, so he rushed here to see his sister-in-law.
Unfortunately, it's a workday, and Tong Liya has classes, so she's not at Jiang Huai's home right now.
"Who is it that's making you so excited?"
Jiang Huai looked at Huang Bo, who was panting heavily as he spoke, and kicked him in the butt.
"Hey, Brother Huai, you'd never guess. I saw Lu Chuan at the airport. He was all covered up, but he was still surrounded by reporters."
Huang Bo recalled his experience at the airport, where a group of reporters chased after Lu Chuan. The other party was now truly famous.
"I thought you saw some female celebrity. What's so exciting about seeing him?"
Lu Chuan's trip abroad this time was probably intended to handle things quietly, so there would be no need to continue spreading rumors, some true and some false, to slander him. This gave Jiang Huai a lot of free time.
Huang Bo, who was on the other side of Jiang Huai, wanted to say more about Lu Chuan, but Jiang Huai stopped him.
Jiang Huai is currently riding high, and he has to go to China Film Group to discuss the release date of "The Beauty Inside." He's too busy with his own affairs to listen to the miserable plight of a drowning dog.
"Be my assistant, and I'll show you around and broaden your horizons."
Seeing that Huang Bo was wearing a suit and looked like a deputy assistant without having to change, I took him directly to China Film Group.
Previously, China Film Group had been relatively lenient towards Jiang Huai, who was embroiled in controversy, by guaranteeing that his new film would be released, although the release date might not be during the Spring Festival.
Now that the situation has reversed, China Film Group naturally wants to invite Jianghuai to change the release date of "The Beauty Inside" back to the Spring Festival season. This trip is to discuss the specific time.
Upon arriving at the China Film Group building, all the film investors were already present in the conference room.
When Wang Changtian of Guangming saw Jiang Huai enter, he immediately stood up to greet him.
"Director Jiang is here, please have a seat."
He had been having a terrible headache a few days ago; Jiang Huai's condition basically meant that his inner beauty was doomed.
In the superstitious world of entertainment, a bad start is never a good thing. Unfortunately, the public opinion at the time was too great, and Guangming couldn't reverse it.
Now public opinion has reversed, and Wang Changtian sees Jiang Huai as someone he'd rather have than a god of wealth.
According to internal estimates from Enlight Media, even after all the recent controversies, the film "Beauty Inside" is guaranteed to make a small profit, if not a box office hit.
This will definitely allow Enlight Media to gain a foothold in the film industry.
"Chairman Wang, you're too kind. I should thank you for your previous help."
"What are you saying? We're all in the same boat. This is what I should do."
After thanking Wang Changtian for personally pulling out the chair, Jiang Huai returned the gesture by helping him straighten his chair.
Besides China Film Group supporting Jianghuai by guaranteeing its release, the other two investors, due to their conflicting interests, did a lot of positive guidance regarding his previous public image.
Especially Wanda, since Wanda has invested in both of Jianghuai's unreleased films. If something happens to Jianghuai, Wanda Pictures' management will have to be replaced because of these two investments.
"Alright, Mr. Wang, please sit down first. Let's discuss the release date of The Beauty Inside."
After silencing the crowd, Han Sanping took out a chart showing the release dates of several films scheduled for the Spring Festival.
Unlike the broader Spring Festival film season when Crazy Stone was released, this time it's the actual period from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
