That afternoon, in the CEO's office of Fantasy Entertainment, Yi Feiyang met the winner of this audition for "The Hunger Games" - Adam Lambert.
This big boy with a sunny and handsome appearance seemed very shy and nervous, and he didn't even dare to look at Yi Feiyang.
Yi Feiyang couldn't help but laugh. He was not a tiger, could he be that scary?
"Are you Adam?"
"Yes, I am."
"I am Yi Feiyang."
"I know you, you are the director!" Adam's tone was trembling. The Yi Feiyang in front of him was very different from the one on his bedside poster. The smiling face on the poster made people feel like spring breeze, but the one in front of him had a serious expression.
His gaze is profound.
"Don't be nervous, okay? I invited you here today mainly because I want to have a good chat with you... Would you like a cup of tea or coffee?" Yi Feiyang asked, crossing his hands.
"Ah, what?" Adam didn't hear clearly.
"Let me ask you, do you want tea or coffee?" Yi Feiyang looked at the nervous person.
"Let's have a cup of tea, oh no, let's have a cup of coffee, it's not too strong." Adam tried to calm down his emotions.
Yi Feiyang nodded, asked the female secretary to pour the coffee, and then turned back to Adam and said: "You know, Adam, this event was very successful and the scene was very grand. Although it was only held in four major cities, it covered almost the entire United States.
Everyone was shocked. As we said before the event, the winner will star in a new play of mine, and you will soon be the leading actor in this play; so I hope you can communicate with me well, similar to a director
Communication with actors... Of course, if you are not interested in acting, we will not force you. We will give you a certain generous reward as a reward for your victory!"
"Ahem," Adam didn't expect Yi Feiyang to say that. He bravely looked at him and asked, "Can I ask, how much is the generous reward you mentioned...?"
Yi Feiyang couldn't help but smile, but the young man still couldn't hold his breath, "One million!"
"Ah, what?" Adam wondered if he heard wrongly.
"You mean one hundred...one million dollars?"
"Of course. Do you want one million yen?" Yi Feiyang made a little joke.
The joke was very good, making Adam laugh and lightening the atmosphere.
"No, this is a specific agreement, and there is a check for one million US dollars. You can choose to be an actor and sign a contract with us to act, or directly take the one million check!" Yi Feiyang pushed the two things away with a smile.
Arrive in front of Adam.
Adam Lambert's heart was beating wildly. He wanted to say, "Let me go back and discuss it with my family." But he knew that if he did this, his family would definitely let him choose the check for one million US dollars, and
Give up the opportunity to be an actor.
Taking a deep breath, Adam Lambert hesitated, not knowing what to choose.
In the end, Yi Feiyang smiled and said: "This matter is serious, why don't you go back and discuss it with your family."
Adam did not refuse this time, or in other words, he was simply incapable of making a choice.
The two temptations in front of me are too great.
…
That night, Adam Lambert returned home. As expected, when he put the contract and one million US dollars on the dining table, everyone in the family who was dining was dumbfounded, especially his father.
He didn't even know that the mashed potatoes he was chewing fell from his mouth.
When my mother woke up, her first move was to put her hands together and pray to thank the Almighty God of Judaism.
"Thank you for giving us such a rich gift. God, you are so good to us!" Dad kept praising.
It made Adam dumbfounded. Is this a gift from God? This is something he earned through hard work.
Immediately afterwards, when faced with a choice, his parents and Adam's brother all unanimously suggested that Adam choose one million US dollars.
Mom’s reason is, “You can use the money to improve your life at home, or at least add a new fireplace to your home.”
Dad’s reason was, “With this money, Adam can choose a better school to further his studies and become a barrister in the future.”
The younger brother’s reasoning was, “Hey, man, we can buy a bigger house, you and I can live separately, each with a separate bedroom, and of course, you can give me the latest game console!”
Adam was very silent about this.
Dad seemed to see what Adam was thinking, and after thinking about it, he said: "Oh, dear Adam, when I was young, I thought I could make history, instead of sitting at home and reading other people's history. Yes, I
I thought I would become a big shot..."
Silent Adam shrugged: "Yes, obviously you are not...a big shot in the usual sense, such as Alexander the Great...Oh, actually, dear dad, you are a big shot in my eyes, and I am proud of you."
"Haha, silly boy, a real big man shouldn't sacrifice his son's ideals for a mere one million. A big man won't miss his own destiny just to live... Somewhere along the path of my life, I... I missed it
My destiny, Adam. I may have been staring at my destiny, but I... missed it. So, dear child, just do what you like and chase your destiny!" Dad stroked Adam's hand.
Head said.
Adam was inexplicably surprised, "Dad, you mean, you support me... to become a star?"
"Yes, kid, because you want to replace me and become a big shot!" Dad said with a smile.
…
At the same time, in Los Angeles, inside a striptease bar.
A man with a red beard was drunk and squinting at the striptease dancer on the stage.
The dancer stripped down to her bikini, holding the pole and dancing on the stage very seductively and charmingly. In short, her posture was sultry and made people's blood boil.
Many men whistled obscenely and kept putting dollars in their hands into the poor bikinis of the dancers. Of course, they also wiped the oil off.
The dancer walked up to Redbeard on a catwalk and made some maddening provocative gestures.
Redbeard's breathing became rapid and he couldn't help it. He stood up and hugged the dancer, kissing her wildly.
"Oh God, help me!" the dancer hurriedly begged for help.
Several security guards patrolling the tavern stepped forward and knocked Redbeard to the ground with their old fists.
Red Beard was mostly awake from the wine and roared, "Damn it, do you know who I am? How dare you do this to me?!"
"You're just a piece of shit! Don't let us see you again!" The thick security guard dragged the dead dog-like red beard out and threw it directly into the garbage pile in the alley.
"Trash only deserves to be with trash!" the security guards sneered, spat, and left.
Redbeard was lying in the garbage, breathing heavily and coughing.
A month ago, he was very handsome and arrogant, with a decent job and good savings, but...but that damn Oscar gamble ruined everything for him, yes, everything for him!
That time he got the news that "Gladiator" would definitely win two awards for Best Director and Best Picture. Therefore, he put all his belongings on it. But the result was...that damn Chinaman became a winner.
He was the biggest dark horse in the Oscar! He was completely defeated! His house was gone! His car was gone! He even lost his girlfriend! In desperation, he was worse than shit!
God, all this is thanks to that Chinese guy!
Damn Chinaman!
Redbeard is an extreme racist, and at this moment he already hates someone with all his teeth.
Just as Red Beard was lying on the garbage heap gnashing his teeth, a drunk black man wandered to the garbage heap, unzipped his trousers, and then, "Plop!" A stream of urine drenched Red Beard's head.
"Damn nigger! Die!" Red Beard roared. The drunk black man didn't realize that there was someone in the garbage dump. He was so frightened that he didn't even have time to pull up his trousers and staggered away.
"Whoosh, whoosh!" Redbeard gasped, and the smell of drunken black man's urine made him almost die. "I want to kill these black people, kill these low-level parasites!"
A large newspaper came into view next to it. On it was an advertisement for Yi Feiyang's upcoming participation in the "Hunger Games" signing event. In the advertisement, Yi Feiyang was smiling and full of confidence.
"Of course, and you!" Red Beard said viciously.
…
2001, June 15.
Today is the day that Yi Feiyang attended the event and officially signed a movie contract with the winning contestant Adam Lambert and others.
At the Fox "Hunger Games" event, there was already a sea of people. The excitement was comparable to the Oscars a month ago.
As media reporters, we have already found our respective positions and are waiting for the signing event to begin today.
As the boss of Dream Entertainment and the party who signed the contract, when Yi Feiyang walked out of the studio, the entire scene burst into deafening cheers.
The residual heat of Oscar is once again ignited by Yi Feiyang. The winner of Best Director, Best Film, and double Oscars, how can we not make people extremely excited?
Yi Feiyang waved, and the media spotlights flashed wildly, turning the studio hall into a snow-white world.
This is the first time that Yi Feiyang has officially appeared in public since the Oscars. Therefore, countless media shouted: "Yi, please say a few words!" "Yi, what are your plans for the future?" "Yi Feiyang"
, can you tell me about your private love life? You and Anne Hathaway..."
Seeing that the whole scene was bustling with excitement, Yi Feiyang had to stand on the stage, stretched out his hand and said: "Thank you very much for your enthusiastic presence, and thank you for your attention to me, but today my job is to win with "The Hunger Games"
Players have signed contracts, so I will not answer any questions you raise that are not related to them."
Simple and neat!
Those reporters are helpless!
"Okay, in order not to waste everyone's precious time, let us officially start today's activities!" Yi Feiyang greeted, and then Louis Carr, his personal lawyer, came on stage and began to announce the contents of the contract that was about to be signed.
Today, Louis Carr is dressed in a designer suit, full of energy and high-spirited. He is completely different from the down-and-out young lawyer three years ago.
In fact, in recent years, with the vigorous growth of Fantasy Entertainment and the continuous improvement of Yi Feiyang's status, Louis Carr, as Yi Feiyang's personal lawyer, has also risen with the tide. Not only has his annual salary reached millions, but more importantly,
His social status has also transformed from a small lawyer to a barrister. Especially with the sponsorship of Yi Feiyang, he even opened a large law firm specializing in cases related to the entertainment industry. Today, Louis Carle is in charge of ten
Several large lawyers hired with huge sums of money are veritable "lawyer bosses". Logically speaking, for a small business like this to sign a contract, they only need to send someone over to handle it. But Louis heard that it was Yi Feiyang who convened the meeting in person, and
Those who signed the contract in person took the initiative to take care of such "little things".
As Louis announced the contents of the contract, the reporters couldn't help but ask some questions about the contract. Louis also answered them one by one, perfectly and without leaking any information.
Almost ten minutes later, Dures, as the temporary host, came on stage again and announced that the signing ceremony had officially begun.
Adam Brandt, the handsome boy who is the champion of this draft, walked onto the stage excitedly, and his family members below all showed happy and encouraging expressions.
When Adam came on stage, he received warm applause. Especially during the talent show, he captured many fans, who yelled at him: "Adam, I love you!" "Adam. Well done!" "Adam, you are the best."
Great!"
…
Adam Lambert walked onto the stage with great excitement. Yi Feiyang also walked out again. Of course, the applause and cheers he received were even more earth-shattering.
Under the attention and witness of countless media, Yi Feiyang and Adam Lambert officially signed a contract.
Then Yi Feiyang put his arm around Lambert's shoulders and motioned for a group photo.
At this moment, the spotlights in the audience were flashing wildly.
At this point in the event, more than half of the event has been successfully completed. However, in order to prevent reporters and fans from being disappointed, Yi Feiyang generously gave five minutes of signing time.
In an instant, those crazy fans, including reporters, were lining up, hoping to get Yi Feiyang's precious autograph.
The few black men and white men who maintained order were like steel guards, protecting Yi Feiyang. Only those fans were allowed to meet Yi Feiyang alone to obtain autographs.
However, there were too many movie fans. Those who had no chance to line up would yell outside. Those who had the chance to line up would also urge those in front of them to hurry up, for fear that when it was their turn, the time would have expired.
Three minutes later, Yi Feiyang had signed more than 30 contracts in a row, basically ten per minute, which was considered very efficient. Looking at the long and dark queue, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but shake his head. Fortunately, he spoke for five minutes, otherwise it would have been so long.
The team probably won’t be able to finish all the signings.
"Next!" Yi Feiyang called casually after getting a black girl's signature.
The security guard made an opening, and a white man with a red beard got in.
"Yes, it's my turn!" Red Beard said.
"Where to sign in?" Yi Feiyang took the signature pen and looked at the red beard who didn't bring any paper.
"Oh, I brought something, just sign it!" Red Beard said with a smile.
"Oh, of course. Can you please bring it over?" Yi Feiyang had no doubt that he was there.
Redbeard sneered and took out something from his back, a gleaming dagger, "That's it, man, go to hell!"
Red Beard raised his knife and stabbed Yi Feiyang straight into the heart!
Yi Feiyang had learned kung fu anyway, and his reaction speed was much faster than that of ordinary people. He was caught off guard and reached out to grab the dagger blade!
The dagger encountered resistance and deflected, stabbing Yi Feiyang in the ribs!
It was too late, but it was too soon. Yi Feiyang felt a pain in his ribs and a burst of heat. He gritted his teeth and raised his kick to directly kick the ferocious red beard away!
The explosive power of this kick was astonishing. Before those fans and reporters on the periphery could understand what was happening, they saw a big man being kicked towards him.
Then……
"Ah!" I don't know who screamed first.
"Killed!"
"Something happened!"
"God, China is vulnerable to assassination!"
…
In an instant, the scene was in chaos! The shouts were loud!
Looking at the chaotic surroundings, Yi Feiyang covered the wound with his hand, only to feel hot blood flowing out from between his fingers, and he couldn't stop it no matter how hard he covered it.
The world was spinning, and countless panicked faces appeared in my mind.
"Yi, wake up, wake up!" Dures's shouts came to my ears, and the hysterical laughter of the kicked murderer: "I killed China Yi! Killed him!
I’m going to be famous! Haha, come and take pictures of me! Come and take pictures of me!”
…
Tick tock! Tick tock! Tick tock!
The ambulance arrived as quickly as possible in a short period of time. On the stretcher, Yi Feiyang's head was a little confused, and the mirror in front of his eyes was blurry.
"Yi. You have to hold on. You must hold on!" I don't know who is choking.
"Please look at my fingers. How many are there?" A doctor kept waving his fingers in front of Yi Feiyang.
Yi Feiyang wanted to open his mouth to speak, but the words seemed to be stuck in his throat and he couldn't come out.
All around, the reporters certainly wouldn't let go of such explosive news. They chased after the stretcher and kept snapping photos of the injured Yi Feiyang on it.
Dures, who had always been calm, could no longer remain calm. He reached out and grabbed a reporter's camera, smashed it on the ground, and shouted: "Stop fucking taking pictures! Damn you bastard!"
The reporter was dumbfounded for a long time. Then he shouted: "This is the United States, I have human rights!"
…
"Everyone in front of the TV, we are now broadcasting the emergency incident live for you..." A female host of a TV station stood at the scene and reported excitedly and nervously to the camera. Because she knew that as long as she reported this incident as the first
If you go out, then the salary increase and upgrade are just around the corner.
"Hollywood's new entertainment tycoon, Mr. Yi Feiyang, the best Chinese director, was assassinated during a fan signing event not long ago. He is currently seriously injured and is being taken to the nearby St. Mary's Hospital by ambulance. We are ABC TV and will follow up the report
!”
The camera turned to look at the stretcher being moved into the ambulance. The ambulance door closed and then roared away.
…
The Los Angeles Police Department received the assassination case of Yi Feiyang immediately.
Who is Yi Feiyang?
Just won the Oscar for Best Director!
The big boss of Fantasy Entertainment!
The new Hollywood entertainment tycoon!
Worth more than 3 billion US dollars!
Close contacts with the political and business circles!
Any of these factors alone would give the person in charge of the police department a headache.
"Damn it! He must be kept safe! Yes, it must be!"
As a result, more than a dozen police vehicles took turns clearing the way, protecting the ambulance carrying Yi Feiyang as it roared toward the hospital.
Along the way, passers-by were stunned. What kind of big shot is this? His pomp is even bigger than that of the President of the United States?!
…
Anne Hathaway took a rare day off at home and was learning to knit sweaters from her grandmother, Mrs. Lawrence.
"Annie, you are knitting too slowly. I guess my dear Yi won't be able to wear your work in the winter." Mrs. Lawrence smiled, "You have to concentrate on what you do, especially knitting sweaters, and you have to knit well one needle eye after another.
Otherwise, all previous efforts will be wasted.”
"I know, grandma, but I...don't know why I always feel uneasy. Yes, my heart always feels very uncomfortable."
"Are you too tired recently, dear?" Mrs. Lawrence touched Hathaway's forehead.
"Maybe, maybe I should take a good rest." As soon as Hathaway finished speaking, the phone rang.
Then Hathaway walked over to answer the phone. Without saying a few words, she suddenly felt like she was struck by lightning, her face turned pale, her body was shaky, and she almost fainted!
"Annie, Anne, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, baby!" Mrs. Lawrence shouted hurriedly.
Anne Hathaway's eyes were hollow and filled with tears, "Yi, he, he...he was assassinated!"
With a click, the phone in her hand fell to the ground.
"Oh, God! How could this happen?" Mrs. Lawrence made the sign of the cross on her chest, "Please bless him! You must bless him!" The old man's eyes also filled with tears.
…
Game endorsement, advertising shooting venue.
With her brown hair tied back in braids, Jessica Alba was wearing an animal skin vest, holding a sharp arrow, aiming at the camera, and making an archery pose.
"Okay, don't move, this posture is good! Keep your eyes sharper, that's right, keep it like this!" A very feminine male photographer dressed very coquettishly took photos from different angles.
Jessica was very cooperative with the photographer, so the photos were almost taken in a very short time.
"Wow, you are indeed a female star! It's so helpful!" The male photographer clapped his hands and praised, "The next set of shots needs to show the wild beauty of the heroine. Well, it's best to sweat a little..." The photographer asked
After styling her chin, the makeup artist came up, filled a spray with water, and sprayed it a few times on Jessica's face and neck.
Not to mention, Jessica immediately felt like she was sweating profusely.
"Okay, this state is great, don't wipe it with your hands, um, keep it!" The photographer gestured while stepping back to play with the lens...
Just then, Jessica's phone rang.
"Oh damn! Jessica, why didn't you turn off your phone?" the male photographer put his hand on his hip and said with orchid fingers.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Jessica shrugged, "Maybe there's something important, I'll be back soon!"
Jessica answered the phone at the side. In an instant, her expression changed drastically. She didn't even bother to change her clothes. She just put on the animal skin vest used for taking photos and ran outside.
"Jessica, what are you doing? We haven't finished shooting our commercial yet!" the photographer behind shouted, stamping his feet.
Jessica turned a deaf ear. At this moment, she was so heartbroken that she almost burst into tears. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
