When Lu Yuan set foot on the land of Los Angeles again, Lu Yuan suddenly felt that the night in Los Angeles was beautiful.
The dimly lit city has a vague sense of indescribable mystery. It looks hazy from a distance, as if it is shrouded in a layer of gauze...
This land gives people a vague feeling of conquest.
He suddenly thought of Zhou Shuai.
He suddenly understood a little bit why Zhou Shuai was suddenly so crazy...
perhaps……
He really wanted to have his own world in this land.
This is his ambition.
Of course, this feeling of conquest only appeared in Lu Yuan's heart for a moment and then disappeared again.
Speaking of ambitions, Lu Yuan actually has no real ambitions. He has never thought about conquering Hollywood, let alone what he wants to do in Hollywood...
but……
Whether it is Fatty Wei or Zhou Shuai, or Forrest, Lu Yihong or the extremely powerful Da Liu, they all have an ambition to play on the world stage.
At first, this ambition belonged only to Fatty Wei.
but……
Ever since Fatty Wei started to think he was right, the whole "remote" entertainment industry has suddenly and inexplicably expanded.
In the end, it was like a virus, affecting everyone.
When Lu Yuan thought of this, he suddenly felt dumbfounded.
In fact.
At first, he just wanted to make some money, but for some reason, as he kept making money, he got completely passive and fell into it.
It was like a pair of invisible hands, constantly pushing Lu Yuan forward, passively changing Lu Yuan, and at the same time, severely suppressed Lu Yuan's so-called idea of making some money, marrying a wife, and living a good life.
shred.
Sitting in Forrest's classic car.
Lu Yuan silently looked at the busy city in the distance again.
Suddenly he sighed.
He suddenly remembered the sunset that year when he first came to this world.
That sunset is so beautiful...
That was his lost youth, that was the end of his innocence, that was him...
Then……
The screen suddenly became distorted.
He remembered the scene when Fatty Wei lifted up his pants, then spit and called Shen Lianjie a bastard to vent his anger on Shen Lianjie's crew against the wind...
And then this scene...
It's very embarrassing.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
"Nothing... I just remembered some past events."
"Oh, the past."
"Um."
"Boss, the Migos Cinema Line has been almost renovated today and can be put into trial operation tomorrow..."
"Trial run? How to do a trial run?"
"Well, Miss Eileen plans to play some American classics..."
"Old local film?"
"Yeah, besides "Saw", are there any new movies in theaters?"
"There is no... boss for the time being... The major entertainment companies in the United States basically know that this is our own theater chain, so they are quite resistant to us and have not taken the initiative to seek cooperation with us. At the same time, other theater chains in the United States are
The theater chain that slanders us in major forums...tell the truth in terms of word-of-mouth..." When he said this, Forrest suddenly fell silent.
"If you talk about it, it's nothing."
"Word-of-mouth has been declining...and public opinion is also very unfavorable to us."
"Looks like we're having a hard time..."
"Well, so Miss Eileen plans to play some old American movies when the theater opens, so that movie fans can experience the theater's facilities first..."
"This is a good idea, but we should consider the Chinese film..."
"The Chinese side?"
"Well, my Huaxia company has a movie called "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", and there are also several word-of-mouth movies that were released at the same time... Of course, we also have the copyrights of several of our own company's movies in our hands.
For example, "Buried Alive" and "The Wanderer", these have never been screened overseas." Lu Yuan was silent at first and then suddenly laughed.
Lu Yuan remembers that "Buried Alive" in the original world seems to have done very well at the box office in the West. Although it is a small-budget movie, it has also exploded with amazing potential. Moreover, the copyrights in this world are better than those in the original world. "Buried Alive" has not yet been released.
How many pirated resources have leaked out...
"Ah, boss, I forgot that you also have your own world in China..." When Fores heard this, he slapped his head and suddenly became excited.
"Drive well!"
"good."
…………………………
When he returned to the company, Lu Yuan saw Zhou Shuai sitting in the company lobby smoking a cigarette.
Besides Zhou Shuai, there is also a tall American.
Lu Yuan suddenly felt strange when he saw this middle-aged man wearing a mask and hat who looked like a big star.
"Brother Zhou, he is..."
"Ayuan, let me introduce you. He is Bliss, the person in charge of external films of Gobia Company...Mr. Bliss, this is Mr. Lu Yuan. I guess I don't need to introduce him further."
"Hello Mr. Lu."
"Bliss? Oh, oh, hello, Mr. Bliss, I have always heard of your name before, and today I finally saw it. I am honored, very honored..."
"Haha, Mr. Lu knows about me?" Bliss took off his hat and mask after seeing no one around, revealing a handsome face.
When he looked at Lu Yuan, he was actually a little shocked.
He had heard that Lu Yuan was very young before, but after actually meeting him, he suddenly felt that Lu Yuan was extremely young.
Is this young man who seems to have just graduated from college really the all-powerful Lu Yuan in China?
After being shocked, he felt a sense of unreality in his heart.
"I know, of course I know, let's go in and talk." Lu Yuan shook hands with Bliss enthusiastically, and then welcomed Bliss into his office.
Actually...
Who is Bliss?
Lu Yuan didn't even know.
but……
Lu Yuan has read so many psychology books, how could he read them in vain?
Even if he didn't know each other, Lu Yuan would pretend to be familiar with them without saying anything.
Lu Yuan's warm smile and the trace of respect on his face greatly satisfied Bliss's vanity, and at the same time, his affection for Lu Yuan doubled instantly.
He suddenly remembered what Zhou Shuai had said to him before.
It means that as long as I meet Lu Yuan, I will definitely not dislike Lu Yuan...
Bliss mused.
"Come to Mr. Bliss and try the West Lake Longjing tea from our hometown..." Lu Yuan made a cup of Longjing tea for Bliss, with a sincere and enthusiastic smile on his face.
"Okay..." Bliss was slightly dazed after taking a sip of tea, and then took another sip, "Mr. Lu Yuan, why do I feel that this Longjing tea tastes... weird?"
"Is it weird?" Lu Yuan was surprised, and then he took a look at the packaging. When he saw that the packaging was not Xihu Youjing or Xihu Longjing, he was also surprised.
The tea brewed today is not fake tea.
"Hmm...but the smell is quite fragrant. My wife went to Hangzhou for a trip...she brought back some West Lake Longjing..."
"How much does it cost?"
"I don't know, my wife said it's very cheap there."
"Where did you buy it?"
"That one seems to be called West Lake Longjing Authentic Tea... The boss said that there seems to be a very powerful celebrity in China who also bought their Longjing tea. Hmm... It seems that he ordered several boxes of it a year ago..."
"..." After hearing the name of this store, Lu Yuan suddenly felt a little dazed. After hearing several more boxes, Lu Yuan's eyes instantly became complicated.
Why does it have a feeling of original recipe and familiar taste?
"Is there such a person?" Bliss shook his head, suddenly feeling a little emotional.
"Oh, don't believe those authentic Longjing teas anymore. These Longjing teas are all fake. If we want to drink it, we will drink the real and authentic ones. Mr. Bliss, if you like it, I will have someone send some authentic ones tomorrow.
...I always drink this flavor...Hmm." Lu Yuan looked at Bliss seriously and said this as if nothing happened.
"Pfft!"
Zhou Shuai suddenly squirted halfway through his drink.
"What's wrong?" Bliss looked at Edward strangely.
"No... nothing... I just choked." Zhou Shuai shook his head, and then looked at Lu Yuan, who looked serious.
Don't know why...
He remembered some past events that he shouldn't have thought about.
That's...
When remote entertainment was first established.
That was when Lu Yuan first became famous at the Venice Film Festival...
Cough, cough.
Anyway, Lu Yuan bought several boxes of cigars from Venice and gave some to Zhou Shuai...
Those cigars.
Cough, cough...
The past is hard to look back on.
"Then thank you, Mr. Lu Yuan... By the way, Mr. Lu Yuan, I heard that your theater chain will be open for trial operation soon, right?"
"yes."
“How are you preparing for the movie to come out?”
"Haha, actually... I don't have any preparations. I just want to show a movie that has not been officially released in the United States before..."
"Your current situation seems not very optimistic."
"Well, it's really not optimistic."
"Mr. Lu Yuan, are you confident in yourself? Do you think... you can succeed?"
"Confidence? Haha, Mr. Bliss, can I tell you the truth?"
"What truth?" Bliss looked at Lu Yuan.
He found that Lu Yuan remained calm from beginning to end when chatting with him.
but……
However, he found that Lu Yuan's eyes were very strange.
It was so weird that he didn't want to look at Lu Yuan, as if Lu Yuan could tell what he was thinking with such a look.
This feeling is not very comfortable.
"I actually never had much confidence... In fact, I never thought I could succeed... In fact, I even thought I might fail... After all, who will have everything smooth sailing?" Lu Yuan laughed.
"Huh? Aren't you afraid of failure?" After hearing Lu Yuan's answer, Bliss was suddenly a little surprised.
He didn't seem to expect that Lu Yuan would answer like this.
and……
He answered with such a calm attitude, as if he was prepared to fail at any time.
"I'm afraid, failure will cost me a lot of money. I am actually a money-grubbing person..."
"Do you know what you're going to face?"
"Well... let me correct you, Mr. Bliss, it's not what I'm facing, it's what we will face..." Lu Yuan looked at Bliss, who was still smiling.
"..." Bliss suddenly stared at Lu Yuan.
Staring silently.
He saw that Lu Yuan was very magnanimous.
There are no other emotions inside, and there is no hiding.
This moment...
The look that made Bliss uncomfortable is gone too.
About thirty seconds later, Bristol suddenly looked away.
"Mr. Lu Yuan, are you so sure that we can cooperate? Mr. Lu Yuan, you are too confident. You are one of the most confident people I have ever met!" Bliss narrowed his eyes.
Lu Yuan's answer indeed exceeded his expectations.
"Ah? Mr. Bliss... Why can't I understand what you are talking about? Cooperation? What do we want to cooperate with? We seem to be from two companies, and... your company doesn't seem to like me very much for the time being...
..." When Lu Yuan heard this, he suddenly felt a little confused.
He originally wanted to show off and say that he and Zhou Shuai were a team...
It has no other meaning.
but……
confidence?
Where the hell am I confident?
What am I confident about?
"Don't like you temporarily? Yes, that's a nice expression. Our company really doesn't like you, so I should also dislike you "temporarily". Mr. Lu Yuan, I'm looking forward to your West Lake Longjing, and to be honest, I'm also looking forward to your next one.
Performance... Chatting with smart people is much better than chatting with idiots." Bliss suddenly laughed after seeing Lu Yuan's confused and confused expression, then stood up and shook hands with Lu Yuan.
"???" Lu Yuan didn't know what was going on, but he also knew that it was difficult to say anything else in this situation, so he laughed naively.
Zhou Shuai was also a little confused.
but……
After about a minute of carefully understanding the conversation between the two.
He suddenly understood.
Then...
When he looked at Lu Yuan, he felt a sense of admiration.
…………………………
"Mr. Bliss...what do you think of Mr. Lu Yuan?"
"An extremely confident person, but it is undeniable that he has an irresistible personal charm."
"oh?"
"Mr. Zhou Shuai, I think you are all weaving a big web together... and then, are you pulling me into this web?"
"Haha, yes, Mr. Bliss, although I don't want to admit it, it is indeed the case."
"Lu Yuan...this person is a bit scary..."
"No...it's not scary...he's just trying to figure out a way to use his amazing talent to lead us on a stage..."
"stage?"
"Yeah, a big stage..."
"hehe."
Bliss closed his eyes.
He thought of Lu Yuan's conversation with him.
He felt more and more that this conversation had profound meaning.
What are we going to face...
And I don’t really like it for the time being...
Bliss felt that these things were hints to some extent.
It implies that the two have been working together from now on.
However, no action or help is needed for the time being.
Among the media and the public, it would be fine if he didn't like Lu Yuan as much as Allen and others.
