The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 212: Real Steel 3: Interstellar and Michelangelo's masterpiece, The Creation of Adam.

……

"Brother, are you just going to let him go like that?"

"Why don't you write a contract and have him sign it? What if he takes your artistic ideas and uses them to collaborate with someone else? Wouldn't you be at a disadvantage?"

Who said Nazha is a silly girl?

At that moment, she acted very shrewdly.

Lu Zhiyuan smiled and said without any concern, "Besides me, he can't find anyone else to cooperate with. Don't worry."

Is it so easy to get into Hollywood?

Looking at the entire domestic entertainment industry, besides himself, who else can vouch for Zhuang Wenqiang?

The film and television industry is not a charity.

Even if you write a brilliant script, if you don't have investors, production studios, or a qualified team, you won't succeed.

In the entire industry chain... scripts, although they are said to be very important, are actually not very valuable.

If Zhuang Wenqiang dares to do something underhanded behind my back.

Lu Zhiyuan could easily make a movie of the same genre that's even better than his own. When they're released together... who will survive and who will perish?
Zhuang Wenqiang is no novice.

It's impossible for him to do this project behind Lu Zhiyuan's back.

The risk is too great.

"Brother, from what I overheard you talking earlier, is it true that there are two female leads for this movie? One of them is supposed to be chosen by Sister Cha."

"So, the other female lead..."

Naza's eyes darted around, her little thoughts practically written all over her face.

Seeing Lu Zhiyuan smiling at her, Nazha knew that her little thoughts couldn't be hidden from him.

"Brother, do you think I'm up to the task?"

At this moment, Nazha held Lu Zhiyuan's hand expectantly and acted coquettishly.

"Whether you can do it or not, talking about it won't do any good. Let's see how you perform."

If it were any other man saying that, Nazha felt she would instantly understand and immediately cover the camera and start taking off her clothes.

But this person is Lu Zhiyuan.

Nazha was a little confused about what Lu Zhiyuan meant by "performance".
……

However, a few days later...

Naza finally understood.

February 14th is Valentine's Day.

Naza has been staying at Lu Zhiyuan's house for several days. As requested by Lu Zhiyuan, she spends every day in his studio, accompanying him in his artistic creation.

Naza couldn't understand any of the things Lu Zhiyuan was drawing.

All I know is that it is a masterpiece by Michelangelo called "The Creation of Adam," which consists of nine scenes and more than 340 figures.

Naza felt like she was going crazy!
340 characters!
She couldn't even remember it clearly, but Lu Zhiyuan could reproduce it proportionally and draw it so lifelike.

The world of geniuses is truly enviable.

So handsome!
Lu Zhiyuan was the only painter she knew in real life!
Lu Zhiyuan is truly beautiful when he's not speaking.

I was painting quietly there, the sunlight streaming in through the glass windows above, filling the entire studio with a rainbow-like atmosphere.

A week passed in the blink of an eye. At first, Nazha found the art studio a bit boring, but gradually, she began to enjoy this leisurely time.

Lu Zhiyuan was painting over there, and she sat beside him, able to quietly appreciate it all.

Let time pass slowly.

"At least for this moment, I am his only one."

Although she didn't date Lu Zhiyuan, Nazha felt that she would always remember the special atmosphere of that moment.

It's incredibly romantic.

It has a sweet, romantic feel to it.

……

"Nazha, go downstairs and pick up the takeout."

"Nazha, it seems like a package has arrived. Could you go and pick it up for me?"

"Nazha, I'm thirsty, go downstairs and make me a cup of milk tea."

"Nazha..."

Lu Zhiyuan worked day and night in the studio, with Nazha assisting him... Occasionally, she would help Lu Zhiyuan pick up takeout from the door, make milk tea, or do laundry.

Now, she seemed to understand why Lu Zhiyuan had called her from school to his home and asked her to live with him.

At first, Nazha thought that Lu Zhiyuan wanted her to come over and sleep with him while Miss Jing Tian was not at home.

She had been looking forward to it for a long time.

It was only later that she realized that after Lu Zhiyuan became fully absorbed in his work, he needed someone to look after the house for him.

She was initially puzzled as to why Dilraba wasn't coming.
Now, she knows.

Only she, this little fool, walked right into the trap and volunteered to be Lu Zhiyuan's nanny.

"Brother, today is Valentine's Day. Sister Tian Tian should be back, right? Should I avoid her?"

Although Nazha stated that her relationship with Lu Zhiyuan was completely innocent, she was staying at Lu Zhiyuan's house on Valentine's Day.

If I were Miss Jing Tian, ​​wouldn't I be furious?

Of course, most importantly, even with such a romantic atmosphere, Nazha couldn't stand it for more than a week.

She was about to go crazy from holding it in.

"Valentine's Day is already here? I haven't even finished drawing it yet!"

For Lu Zhiyuan, the time he spent in seclusion painting was like being a Taoist hermit in the mountains, where he was completely unaware of the passage of time.

"Brother, if I wasn't afraid you'd replace my movie role, I really would like to complain about you."

How can someone like you find a girlfriend?

Is this how you date?
Nazha felt that if she were Lu Zhiyuan's girlfriend, she would definitely have a fight with him.

He can forget about Valentine's Day and even bring other girls to stay at his house.

This is too much!

"You can criticize me all you want. I don't mind."

As Lu Zhiyuan took off his work clothes, he asked Nazha to come downstairs and tidy up. Don't think he didn't know that Nazha had been watching Korean dramas at home every day for the past few days.

I stayed up until midnight.

The sofa was covered with crumbs of snacks she had left behind.

"Brother, I'll go get ready right away."

Naza chuckled awkwardly, trying to hide her embarrassment.

I have to say, living at Lu Zhiyuan's house is really great.

Such a big TV, such a big sofa, and super fast internet speed, plus, no one is competing with her for it!
This is much better than living in a dormitory.

"Brother, I'll head back now after I'm done packing. I'll come back to keep you company in a couple of days." Nazha was very considerate.

She felt that Lu Zhiyuan might just be lonely.

Miss Jing Tian wasn't home; the huge house was occupied only by Lu Zhiyuan.

It's so desolate.

"No need. In a couple of days, after the celebration banquet, I plan to go to Kashgar and the Pamir Plateau. You can come with me then."

After the celebration banquet, it's about time to get back to work.

This is the last installment in his robot science fiction series.

He's about to unleash a powerful move.

Let audiences around the world experience why Michelangelo is considered one of the three masters of the Renaissance, alongside Leonardo da Vinci.
"Brother, are you planning to make me the leading lady? You've asked me to come and keep you company, and you're going to take me on a trip."

Prior to this, only Reba and Hanikezi had received this kind of treatment. And both of them played the leading roles in Lu Zhiyuan's films.

At this moment, Nazha was extremely excited!
"No."

Lu Zhiyuan shook his head and gave a frank answer: "Honey is about to take the high school entrance exam and needs to seize the time to review. Dilraba is a big star now, with endless appearances. Recently, she's only been sleeping five or six hours a day. She's too busy."

"Only you are an irrelevant person."

“If I don’t keep you by my side, you’ll have nothing to do but sleep at school.”

Ahhhhh!
You've gone too far!
Naza stretched out her hands and bared her teeth at Lu Zhiyuan, as if she wanted to bite him to death.

Who would stab someone in the back like that?
"Brother, can't you say something nice to comfort me? Like, I'm good-looking, and it makes you look good to have me by your side."

"Or rather, I have a cute personality. If you keep me by your side, I can make you happy, bring you some fun, and make you feel good."

Naza began to comfort herself.

Lu Zhiyuan thought for a moment and admitted, "Okay, you do have an advantage in that area. I still quite enjoy chatting with you."

"Hmph! That's more like it."

Naza gave a soft snort, pretending to be very arrogant, but when she turned her head away, she couldn't help but chuckle.

really!

My personality is still quite likable.

After receiving Lu Zhiyuan's approval, Nazha, like a happy little bee, hurriedly ran downstairs to pack her things.

Although there are surveillance cameras, Miss Jing Tian probably already knows that she has been occupying the place for almost a week.

But perhaps out of guilt, Nazha wanted to erase all traces of herself.

"what!"

Who knew that Nazha had just started packing?

Suddenly, an invisible aura surged wildly from behind.

She felt a chill run down her spine.

Turning around, Nazha froze for a moment and blurted out, "Sister Tiantian, why are you back so early?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Nazha regretted it and wished she could sew her mouth shut!

What exactly did I say?
This statement is far too easy to misunderstand!

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Nazha's words, Miss Jing Tian's brow twitched, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

She swallowed her anger and asked coldly, "Where is A-Yuan?"

"My brother is in the art studio."

Naza replied timidly.

Upon seeing Miss Jing Tian, ​​he didn't even change out of his slippers, but instead stomped upstairs in his high heels.

Just by listening to her voice, Nazha knew she was furious.

"She doesn't think that Yuan and I are messing around at home, does she?"

Naza murmured softly.

If it were me, I would definitely think the same way.

slip away!

At this moment, Nazha also felt a little guilty, and she packed her things up and didn't even dare to go upstairs.

She called out loudly from downstairs, "Brother, I've finished getting ready for you. It's Valentine's Day, I have a date, so I'm leaving now!"

Naza is quite clever.

By indicating that he has a date, he implies that he has a partner, giving Miss Jing Tian a hint that he poses no threat.

Don't kill me!
I am innocent!
……

The art studio on the 3rd floor.

"Ah Yuan, aren't you going a bit too far with what you're doing?"

Miss Jing Tian leaned against the doorway, her arms crossed. Although her expression was cold, tears were glistening in her eyes.

I don't care if you go out and have fun. But you can't bring those other women home.

You can't even uphold this basic principle?
You're clearly not taking me seriously!

"Since you're not home, I need to find someone to help me with some household chores. Like picking up takeout, signing for packages, cleaning the rooms, and hanging up the laundry."

"Besides, I get bored at home alone."

"After a long day of work, I need to find someone to talk to and clear my head."

Lu Zhiyuan gave a brief explanation.

After a moment's thought, Miss Jing Tian's anger subsided.

I didn't look for Dilraba.

I didn't contact Gao Yuanyuan.

This shows that Lu Zhiyuan was aware of the situation.

As for Nazha?

This little scatterbrain is definitely no threat to my position.

"You've drawn so many this week?"

It was only then that Miss Jing Tian noticed that there were many new works in Lu Zhiyuan's studio.

Having drawn so many, Lu Zhiyuan clearly didn't have time to mess around.

"Pacific Rim 2... no, Real Steel 3: Interstellar, that's the name of our new project."

“Look here… these are nine scenes from Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam, combined with The Last Judgment, which forms the artistic tone of the entire film.”

Lu Zhiyuan stepped back a few steps, gesturing for Miss Jing Tian to stand beside him so they could admire the results of his work over the past few days.

"This drawing is really good. Thank you for your hard work."

Miss Jing Tian's eyelids twitched, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face.

It's so painful, I don't understand it.

Not only could I not understand his paintings, but I also didn't know what he was thinking. I even overlooked the fact that he also needed someone to be with him.

He must feel quite helpless having a girlfriend who's a big star like me.

"Tian Tian, ​​find someone to bring all nine scenes, along with the paintings like 'The Last Judgment,' to the center of the hall when we have our victory celebration."

"At that time, I'm sure many people will ask about the Interstellar project, how it's going to be done, and which actors are needed..."

"Answering them one by one is too troublesome."

“If you take these paintings over, those who can understand them will understand them. Those who can't understand them won't ask any questions.”

Lu Zhiyuan ultimately decided to combine the theme of mecha hunters fighting monsters with some hard science settings from "Interstellar".

All I can say is sorry to Christopher Nolan.

He's going to go completely insane in order to defeat Peter Jackson!
"Tian Tian, ​​how's the movie 'Time Raiders' going? Weren't you busy promoting it these past few days?"

Suddenly remembering something, Lu Zhiyuan turned his head and asked a question.

"Um, this... sigh."

Miss Jing Tian's face immediately turned awkward.

What do you say to yourself?
Another failure!

Judging from Miss Jing Tian's expression, the outcome of this movie was self-evident.

Lu Zhiyuan gently hugged Jing Tian and said reassuringly, "Don't worry, I'll get you back on your feet."

Jing Tian is in the entertainment industry not to make money.

It's all for vanity.

For a pampered young lady like her, who has never lacked food or clothing since childhood and can easily get whatever she wants, entering the entertainment industry is most likely just to prove herself.

This is a matter of face.

It's not an economic issue.

It's not a career issue.

"Ah Yuan, I just don't understand. Why is it that even though I tried my best, the movie still flopped? All the viewers online are mocking and ridiculing me."

Miss Jing Tian felt somewhat aggrieved.

Outside, she could pretend not to care and maintain a semblance of dignity. But with Lu Zhiyuan, she couldn't help but want a hug and comfort.

"You should ask Sister Shan about that."

"And think about it carefully, are your projects really for the purpose of making a good movie?"

There are some things that Lu Zhiyuan is not comfortable saying.

Being in the thick of it, the most he could do was to avoid getting involved with these things himself.

Anyway, it has nothing to do with him.

There are so many unfair things in the world that he can't possibly manage them all, as long as no one interferes with his filmmaking.

He can pretend to be confused forever.

Anyway, none of the other projects, which are glamorous, have anything to do with him.

At first, Lu Zhiyuan thought that Miss Jing Tian should also be aware of the situation.

But only now did he realize that Miss Jing Tian really didn't know anything and thought that these projects were really meant to promote her.

Clearly, these projects all have ulterior motives.

The real purpose is clear to those who understand.

But this is something everyone tacitly understands; no one will openly admit it.

"what do you mean……"

Jing Tian wasn't truly clueless; he had doubts before, especially regarding the "Warring States" project.

It's just too obvious.

Sun Honglei even wanted to return her salary because he didn't want to get involved in these things.

Later, Lu Zhiyuan spoke up, and Sun Honglei finally accepted the payment.

However, in order to distance himself from the project and prevent them from contacting him again in the future, Sun Honglei took the initiative to step forward and take the blame, thus repaying the favor.

A complete cut was made.

"Once you've figured it out, there's no need to say it out loud, lest it ruin your mood."

"Let's go downstairs to eat. I had Nazha order a big meal; it should be here soon."

Lu Zhiyuan tidied up the studio and restored it to its original cleanliness.

Then, he closed the door and took Jing Tian downstairs.

……

"Tian Tian, ​​this is what you like."

"Also, you specifically mentioned the flavor of this spicy soup last time."

During the meal, Lu Zhiyuan warmly entertained Jing Tian.

Jing Tian remained silent, her head bowed, lost in thought.

Gradually, she seemed to understand something, and looked up at Lu Zhiyuan with a complicated expression.

"So, you actually knew all along?"

"The reason you had Sister Shanshan distribute all the money in Starlight Brilliant's account and set up a new private equity fund with us was to extricate the two of us from this situation?"

"I was wondering why Sister Shan agreed to your plan without hesitation, and even gave away all the money in the company's account."

After Starlight Spreads its money across the company's accounts, there's no need to start any more projects.

All the money is gone!

The next projects are all from Hollywood's YT Studios!

It would be very difficult for them to do anything underhanded here.

Because Universal Pictures is the major shareholder of YT Pictures, and they're not to be underestimated. If they mess things up and create an international scandal, it will be difficult to explain.

As for whether their hometown will send someone else to take over Starlight Brilliant's business and continue making a mess of things... that has nothing to do with Zhao Shanshan and Jing Tian.

In any case, the two of them already have shares in YT Pictures and private equity stakes.

From this moment on, the two of them were truly ashore.

They had money, fame, and even the option to go to Hollywood if they couldn't make it in China. Through Lu Zhiyuan's efforts, they acquired shares in both YouTube and Netflix, a very stable two-pronged approach.

"yes……"

"With your intelligence, how could you not see the problem here?"

Jing Tian belatedly realized something, and her gaze towards Lu Zhiyuan was somewhat complicated, but mostly filled with emotion.

Lu Zhiyuan found her a very good and safe way out.

Even if someone from a family like hers lives a carefree life, deep down there will still be a sense of insecurity.

The situation is very obvious at Wanda.

Recently, the company has been willing to pay a hefty premium to acquire Hollywood's AMC theater chain, clearly sensing a dangerous situation.

To use this method, you need to transfer a portion of the money out first.

It's like finding a way out for myself.

"Tian Tian, ​​before you met me, your family background was your biggest support."

“However, you told me the other day that your parents’ relationship was having some problems, and that you might not receive much pocket money in the future.”

"I promised you I would take care of you from now on."

"As a man, I will try my best to keep my word."

“I’m your man, and you trust me so much, so I have to make plans for your future. I can’t let anything happen to you.”

"In this way, even if something happens to your family in the future, I can guarantee that you will be well-off and unaffected for the rest of your life."

Lu Zhiyuan put down his chopsticks and looked at Jing Tian seriously.

"Ayuan..."

At that moment, Jing Tian stared blankly at Lu Zhiyuan.

I was deeply shocked, as if something that had been sealed away for a long time had been completely opened from the inside out.

She was deeply moved!

At this moment, the tears in her eyes could no longer be held back, and like pearls, they slid down her cheeks.

These are not tears of sadness.

Rather, it's the taste of joy, emotion, and love.

She was finally 100% certain that Lu Zhiyuan loved her, even though his love was never really apparent in everyday life.

However, love is something that cannot be expressed with words.

What comes out of the mouth is worthless.

The fact that Lu Zhiyuan considered, calculated, and planned everything behind the scenes for her already showed his true feelings.

Today, February 14, 2012, she learned this morning that Nazha had actually stayed at her home for a week, secretly living with Lu Zhiyuan.

She rushed back in a frenzy, vowing to God that she would beat the adulterous couple to a pulp.

Upon arriving, she realized something was amiss and that she seemed to have misunderstood.

But she was still a little unhappy.

How could Lu Zhiyuan allow other women to come to his house when he wasn't home?

She originally intended to confront Lu Zhiyuan and, incidentally, remind him that while she would pretend not to know about his philandering, he shouldn't allow other women to appear in front of her.

However, she never expected that this year's Valentine's Day gift would reveal Lu Zhiyuan's determination to spend his life with her.

He had even planned out his life for the rest of his days.

This made Miss Jing Tian indescribably happy, joyful, and even excited!
At that moment, she decided that she also wanted to give Lu Zhiyuan a gift!
“A-Yuan, I know you like Gao Yuanyuan. Although you've never said it, I know you've fallen for her.”

"You blocked her, didn't want to meet her, and were afraid of falling in love again."

“A few days ago, after you came back from the meeting at Yuang Technology, you were preoccupied and stayed in the studio for several days, constantly imitating Monet’s ‘Water Lilies’.”

"I know that she has left an indelible mark on your heart, one that you can never forget. Just like that unknown, mysterious girl on the Xi'an city wall many years ago."

"Of course, I also know very well that you are the kind of person with a strong sense of moral purity. Since you have chosen to be with me, you will not betray me or hurt me."

"But I also know very well that you may never forget her. You won't mention her name to me, but you will always remember her name in your heart."

At this point, Jing Tian walked over, hugged Lu Zhiyuan from behind, and pressed her head down, her face close to his.

"I've also heard about the crazy things Gao Yuanyuan has been doing lately."

"She actually spent £1800 million to buy you that Monet's 'Water Lilies'."

"To be honest, I'm a little jealous of her. She's capable of going to such lengths to have a relationship and to win your favor."

"If I were you, I would also waver."

"I originally wanted to observe how long you would struggle with her before you could completely let go."

"But now, I regret it."

"The way you looked so troubled, locking yourself in your studio and desperately trying to vent your feelings, broke my heart."

Miss Jing Tian turned around and gave Lu Zhiyuan a fierce kiss.

Their eyes met, and a strange light flickered in both of their pupils.

After a while, their lips parted.

Jing Tian looked at Lu Zhiyuan, reached out her small hand, gently touched his cheek, smiled with relief, but there was a hint of bitterness in her mouth.

But she still said firmly, "I'll find an opportunity to talk to her."

After she finished speaking, she seemed to lose all her strength.

"What to talk about?"

Lu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

At that moment, Miss Jing Tian gripped Lu Zhiyuan's face tightly with both hands, wishing she could tear his handsome face apart.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"You heartless and unfaithful man!"

"You shouldn't have gotten involved with her in the first place. She's the kind of artsy young woman who'd do anything for love."

"She fell in love with you, and you even agreed to start a company with her, giving her the wrong impression... Now, she's gone mad, and you're infatuated with her."

"She moved you with her tragic act of throwing herself into the fire, disregarding everything."

"If I do nothing... are you two going to go make a movie together, become a married couple on set, and then conspire to leave me out?"

"Although you may not think that way. I know you, you simply think that the 'Project Gutenberg' project is great and can be made into a classic."

"But I'm 100% sure that Gao Yuanyuan just wants to be your on-screen couple. If she can't have you for life, she wants to have you for a short time."

"Rather than waiting for fate to judge me, I'd rather take complete control of the risks in my own hands."

"I will be both a demon and a god. I will never be a lowly subject of judgment, awaiting the merciless pronouncement of fate upon me!"

"Now, carry me upstairs... If you make me feel good tonight, I'll give you a satisfying Valentine's Day gift tomorrow."

Miss Jing Tian doesn't know if she will regret it in the future.

But at least for today, she has no regrets!
When she learned that Lu Zhiyuan had silently done so much for her future and planned out all her escape routes, she was deeply moved and fell completely in love with him.

In the past, she actually had some doubts about whether Lu Zhiyuan truly loved her.
Because she wasn't actually the girl on the Xi'an city wall that Lu Zhiyuan remembered.

They were both well aware of this.

She always cared about this and was very worried that if Lu Zhiyuan found that girl one day, he would run away with her without hesitation.

Artists are all about feeling.

And now... Miss Jing Tian has realized that she probably can't live without Lu Zhiyuan anymore.

Whatever.

Since that's the case, let's add some chips to our side.

……

A few days later.

Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

The largest banquet hall was booked by Starlight Entertainment and was used specifically to celebrate the box office success of the movie "Pacific Rim" which surpassed $12 billion.

"12 billion US dollars!"

"The highest-grossing single film by a Chinese director, ranking fourth in film history! That's an incredible achievement!"

"I wonder how many years it will be before this record is broken!"

Inside the banquet hall, countless people were discussing the box office performance of the movie "Pacific Rim".

Before Lu Zhiyuan, John Woo's "Mission: Impossible 2," with $5.45 million, was already the highest-grossing film by a Chinese director.

Lu Zhiyuan's profit more than doubled.

Today's celebration banquet has attracted everyone with a name and reputation in the entire Chinese film industry.

Including directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

"Zhuangzi, you're really something. You managed to get on someone's good side without anyone noticing."

"Hehe, the circle in Hong Kong is a bit small. By clinging to the coattails of a big director, they've taken advantage of the situation to make their way into Hollywood. That's understandable."

"Zhuangzi, I heard you almost got arrested by the local mafia in Naples, Italy the other day? Luckily, the movie 'Infernal Affairs' is very famous in Italy, so you could say you turned misfortune into blessing. I heard you got a lot of inside information?"

Chong Man-keung used to be considered a junior in the Hong Kong film industry.

After all, his main profession is screenwriter, and screenwriters in the film and television industry naturally have little to no status.

However, today, when these directors and big stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan saw the protagonist of this celebration banquet, the famous director Lu Zhiyuan, chatting a few words with Zhuang Wenqiang and even patting him on the shoulder, they were surprised to see him.

They instantly realized that Zhuang Wenqiang had found a powerful patron.

It is about to soar into the sky.

"Gentlemen, actually, we had a misunderstanding about Brother Yuan before. We thought he looked down on us Hong Kong directors and thought we were all a bunch of short mules with no culture."

"That's just his personality; he's not deliberately targeting us."

“A few days ago, I came to see him, thinking I would be turned away, but then I saw him eating pineapple buns at a tea restaurant. He was very down-to-earth.”

"After chatting with me for a few minutes, he invited me to his home for tea."

"Afterwards, we had a detailed discussion, and he generously decided to invest in my film and gave me a lot of constructive advice."

"In short, he's a very nice person."

Zhuang Wenqiang was planning to follow Lu Zhiyuan, so of course he had to speak well of Lu Zhiyuan.

Besides, Lu Zhiyuan and those Hong Kong and Taiwan directors are not in the same circle at all, so there is absolutely no need for him to look down on them.

Previously, the reason why Hong Kong and Taiwan directors were hostile to Lu Zhiyuan was simply because Lu Zhiyuan's films took away some of the screenings from other directors when they were released.

This is a struggle for interests.

But now, do they still have the right to compete with Lu Zhiyuan?

They don't even deserve to be called enemies.

What else is there to say?

“Inspector Zhuang is right! The film industry in Hong Kong is getting smaller and smaller, and going north to the mainland is an inevitable trend. If we could follow Brother Yuan to Hollywood, that would be even better.”

A chubby kid surnamed Wang suddenly switched sides.

What circles or circles?

Everyone's in it for the money.

Moreover, Lu Zhiyuan is right!
In the Hong Kong film and television industry, apart from myself and Chong Man-keung, most of them are uncultured dwarfs.

Their success is all thanks to the benefits of the times.

"Zhuang sir, you're quite familiar with Brother Yuan, can you tell me what those paintings in the center of the banquet hall mean?"

The main character at today's celebration banquet is not Lu Zhiyuan.

Rather, it's these paintings in the middle.

Many people who came in understood the paintings and wore enigmatic smiles.

But most people have no idea what these paintings represent.

They dared not ask too many questions, afraid of being ridiculed for being uncultured... It would be embarrassing with so many big shots around!
Zhuang Wenqiang smiled and said, "These paintings are all by Michelangelo, one of the three masters of the Renaissance."

“We all know Yuan Ge’s habit… He needs to come up with an artistic concept before making a movie.”

Before filming Pacific Rim, didn't he talk about the painting The Last Judgment at the wrap party?

"The other paintings in this banquet hall are the exact opposite of The Last Judgment. These nine scenes together are called Genesis."

At last year's celebration banquet for "The Last Judgment," Lu Zhiyuan made it very clear that this was the high-concept setting for the female lead in the film's ending.

"Genesis" is most likely the content process of the film, that is, the artistic conception of the main characters opening up a new world.

I have to say, Lu Zhiyuan is really something!

Zhuang Wenqiang was completely impressed.

Before this, he had already received an art lesson from Lu Zhiyuan, from which he benefited greatly.

"Damn it, it's just making a movie, why make it so complicated?"

Some people who heard these words were completely baffled, wondering what these artistic concepts had to do with making movies.
He couldn't figure it out, so he could only frantically rub his scalp.

Zhuang Wenqiang and the chubby guy surnamed Wang exchanged a glance, both feeling speechless.

Brother, times have changed!
The old ways of fighting, grudges, and brotherhood you used to do are no longer viable.

Director Lu Zhiyuan breaks down his artistic creation process step by step for everyone to see, aiming to guide everyone to engage in a brainstorming session... Instead of learning properly, you just think about criticizing, you're truly useless!
How can you create good art when you're hanging out with these bumpkins?
……

the other side.

Gao Yuanyuan wore a sapphire blue strapless fishtail dress, paired with slightly wavy long hair, and was extremely charming, simply dazzling the entire audience.

In particular, the gentle elegance emanating from her happy smile made the male guests present glance at her several times.

"what's the situation?"

"Shouldn't Sister Cha be crying her eyes out these past few days? Why is she so radiant and smiling so sweetly? It's like she's getting married."

Dilraba nudged Zhang Tianai beside her with her elbow and whispered, "Sister Xiao Ai, have you received any news?"

Something is wrong!
Something is wrong!
"Brother Kun, you must know something, tell me quickly!"

Zhang Tianai spends every day with her, so she most likely doesn't know. When Dilraba saw Xin Yukun sighing next to her, she immediately ran over.

"Your robot brother has way too many backup plans."

Xin Yukun glanced at Reba and said with some helplessness, "He separated Jing Tian and Zhao Shanshan from the glittering vortex of stardom."

“Even if something happens to Jing Tian’s family in the future, it won’t affect them. He’s made up his mind to stay with Jing Tian for the rest of his life.”

At this point, Xin Yukun looked at Reba with some sympathy: "You're out of luck. From now on, just be a good servant and earn more money for your robot brother to support your wife and children."

what?
Dilraba's eyelids twitched, and she pointed in Gao Yuanyuan's direction, frowning as she asked, "Where's Sister Cha? Why is she so happy today?"

"Her."

Speaking of this, Xin Yukun finally felt a little comforted: "With my help, I successfully became your sister-in-law."

Sister-in-law?
What the hell kind of name is this?

Dilraba was stunned for a moment, then her mind seemed to be electrified, and she suddenly understood.

She was so angry that her hair was practically standing on end like a tree demon.

When did this happen?

I do not know how?
Also, how did Brother Kun do it?
How could Sister Tian Tian agree to this?

This is unscientific!
At this moment, Xin Yukun began to swirl his wine glass and murmured, "Monet's paintings are truly powerful."

"Your robot brother doesn't like anything except making movies. That one hobby completely controls him."

"However, a dowry of £1800 million... who could resist such a temptation? I certainly couldn't."

"Besides that, your sister-in-law Tian Tian is also a remarkable person. No wonder she comes from a wealthy family; I truly admire her for being so understanding and reasonable."

"Starting today, I declare that I fully support Sister Tian Tian becoming the eldest sister-in-law!"

Xin Yukun used to dislike Miss Jing Tian because he felt that Jing Tian's side was too dangerous and too close, and that ordinary people like them could easily be affected by her.

When the nest is overturned, how can there be any eggs?
However, Lu Zhiyuan's methods were far beyond his expectations.

While building his career and developing it vigorously, he unknowingly helped Miss Jing Tian and Zhao Shanshan escape from the complicated environment of Starlight Brilliant.

In the future, they will also be able to make use of the abundant resources of the stars.

However, nominally, they no longer have much to do with those messy projects of Starlight Brilliant.

Next, all that's needed is to find another person in charge to replace Zhao Shanshan and take charge of Starlight Brilliant's business.

Everything came to a perfect end.

"Brother Kun, what's the meaning behind these paintings?"

Reba thought about it and realized that having a younger sister-in-law didn't seem to be a big problem for her.

Anyway, nothing has changed.

However, this year's celebration banquet was really strange.

She couldn't understand what Lu Zhiyuan was thinking at all.

This is not okay.

Even if she can't be Lu Zhiyuan's sister-in-law, she still has to be Lu Zhiyuan's caring little sister.

"Altay is a mountain, which may be incredibly strong, but it has no culture."

At that moment, Reba heard a mocking voice coming from the side.

She turned her head to look at it instantly.

It really is Liu Yifei.

No one else gave themselves a nickname except her.

Dilraba snorted: "Sister Niu, when did you get here? I heard you're dating a Korean? Your taste isn't exactly great."

"you--"

Liu Yifei was momentarily speechless.

Every time she faces Dilraba, Dilraba can break her defenses with just a few words.

At this moment, Liu Yifei took a deep breath and said calmly, "Just because you don't understand Zhiyuan's thoughts doesn't mean others don't."

"The Last Judgment is both a demon and a savior. This is the character setting for your character in the next sequel. The character setting for Zhiyuan is truly ingenious."

"However, last year, he didn't give a complete explanation of the film's artistic style. That's something I've been thinking about all year."

"Now I understand. It was definitely worth the trip."

What makes the trip worthwhile?
How come I don't know anything about this?
I am the heroine!

Dilraba couldn't help but want to ask Liu Yifei a few questions, but she was afraid that Liu Yifei would laugh at her for being uncultured.

After a while, Liu Yifei returned, seemingly on purpose to mock Dilraba.
"A mountain in Altay. What a little fool."

"Zhiyuan has already given a very clear hint."

"[Earth symbolizes the defiled Garden of Eden], [Perseus symbolizes the sacred temple in the universe], [Jack Hunter symbolizes the ancient Titans, representing the primordial divine power that conquers all]."

"Understand?"

"In addition, there was a descendant of the Titans named Prometheus, who stole fire for mankind, but was punished for eternity."

"If there is a sequel, as expected... the ancient god Mech Hunter will be directly replaced by another force of order."

"However, I suspect there won't be a sequel."

"If we keep making films like this, the Jaeger-Man becomes the loser, which isn't romantic. The audience won't buy it."

Lu Zhiyuan said last year that Pacific Rim would be split into a trilogy, but Liu Yifei suddenly denied it.

Only two movies will be filmed; that's a secret.

Apart from these few core members, outsiders should not know about this.

"How did you know?"

Now, it was Reba, Zhang Tianai, and Xin Yukun's turn to look at Liu Yifei with new respect.

You're so artsy too?
At this moment, Lu Zhiyuan walked over, looked at Liu Yifei, and said with a smile, "Sister Fei, what do you think of the concept I just told you?"

In an instant, the others understood what was going on, and their eyes showed some disdain.

Liu Yifei blushed, glared at Lu Zhiyuan, and muttered, "Why are you here looking for me instead of staying with Jing Tian?"

Haha!

Upon hearing this, the others couldn't help but chuckle.

You're something else, Sister Niu... After hearing the standard answer, you come here pretending to be an expert!
